Top Anti Aging Tips for 2010

So it is a New Year and new decade. Since 2000 scientific developments have been made to slow down the aging process. Below is a list of the top ten list of the best ways to reverse the aging process for 2010. This is a good start to any 2010 New Year’s resolution.


1. Quit Smoking: One of the most important anti aging tips of all is to stop cigarettes, cigars and cigarrillos. You may not be able to completely reverse the damage smoking has done to your skin but you will stop the damage getting worse. Smoking accelerates skin aging by encouraging the destruction of collagen. Smoking reduces levels of collagen that are one of the principal reasons your skin ages so a smoker’s skin ages much faster. People develop “smoker’s face” which are dull, grayish, dry skin with wrinkles around the eyes and the mouth.

Aside from the skin smoking takes years off your life.

Here are some other good things that happen to your body once you stop smoking:

Within 8 hours - Carbon monoxide level drops in your body and oxygen level in your blood increases to normal

Within 48 hours - Your chances of having a heart attack start to go down and your sense of smell and taste begin to improve

Within 72 hours - Your bronchial tubes relax and make breathing easier and your lung capacity increases

Within 2 weeks to 3 months - Your blood circulation improves and your lung functioning increases up to 30 percent

Within 6 months - Your coughing, stuffy nose, tiredness and shortness of breath improve

Within 1 year - Your risk of smoking-related heart attack is cut in half

Within 10 years - Your risk of dying from lung cancer is cut in half

Within 15 years - Your risk of dying from a heart attack is the same as a person who never smoked

If there is one tip to do for 2010 it would be to stop smoking.

2. Protect Your Skin from the Sun – Sun damage is the #1 one enemy of younger looking skin. Getting a sun tan leads to aging, a process that produces deep wrinkles in leathery textured skin and will cause premature age spots. Both tanning salons and sun tanning outside have similar effects to the sun and are both damaging and harmful to the skin not only in appearances but in raising the likelihood of skin cancer.

Use a moisturizer combined with a broad spectrum sunscreen with a high SPF and always have a sunscreen always with you so you never get caught out.
3. Improve your diet – Try to eat as many antioxidant fresh vegetables, fruit and whole grains as possible. An antioxidant is a molecule capable of slowing or preventing the oxidation of other molecules. Oxidation is a chemical reaction that transfers electrons from a substance to an oxidizing agent. Oxidation reactions can produce free radicals, which start chain reactions that damage cells. Antioxidants terminate these chain reactions by removing free radical intermediates, and inhibit other oxidation reactions by being oxidized themselves. As a result, antioxidants are often reducing agents such as thiols, ascorbic acid or polyphenols.

For younger looking skin make sure you get plenty of vitamins C and vitamin E. These two wonder vitamins work together to restore collagen in your skin. Omega 3’s maintain the structure and fluidity of cells and moisturize the skin from within – an essential part of your anti aging diet and are contained in fish oils.

4. Take an anti aging supplement for younger looking skin – Boost your antioxidant intake with a daily supplement. Go for one with the highest levels of the key vitamins and minerals for younger looking skin and all round health. To get younger looking skin from the inside try Imedeen’s Time Perfection Capsules or for over 50 skin go for the Prime Renewal range.
