Who doesn’t want to look young? The concern becomes more paramount as we start to advance in age and mature in years. But despite every effort towards advancement, the one thing that we as human beings have not been able to control is time. The clock keeps ticking and with it our biological age First, there are simple biological reasons that cannot be ignored or controlled (more like inevitable).

For instance, aging is a natural process that occurs in all the body’s tissues, cells and organs. These cells undergo changes with aging by becoming larger and less adept at dividing and multiplying… By nurturing good lifestyle habits, you may actually be able to sidestep or even reverse aging. Think reverse aging where even simple practices like walking every day and easy strength training moves can help delay age related loss of muscle mass.

One of the most important aspects of living your best life is to get plenty of rest. We can’t emphasize enough the importance of getting enough sleep. Poor sleep can boost insulin resistance, interrupt hormone levels and ultimately reduces both mental and physical performance. Further, lack of sleep will put you at risk of depression and anxiety, but it can also put you at risk of suffering a heart attack, high-blood pressure, stroke and diabetes.  It can also age you rapidly.

Lack of sleep will first affect your physical appearance, leaving you with premature wrinkling and dark circles around your eyes. Over time, chronic sleep deprivation can increase your levels of the stress hormone, cortisol, which will break down collagen, reducing your skin elasticity and making you look twice your age. Sleep is no joke. Make sure that you make it a priority to get enough sleep every night…
