8 points for youth prevention

Here are 8 things that I love to tell every woman on the search for #youth....

1. Cut out sugar.

If you have the desire to get old in a second, sugar is your answer. From white sugar, brown sugar, and raw sugar to glucose and dextrose, this inflammatory ingredient with many names will put your blood sugar on a roller coaster, leaving you tired, confused, and overweight. It’s also the enemy of collagen, contributing to tired, saggy, more wrinkled skin. Cut refined sugar from your diet and you'll feel a noticeable difference on the inside and the outside.

2. Don't exercise too much.

Yes, you can as well, exercise to much😉We all know that exercise is great. It strengthens our bodies and our minds, getting us closer to youthfulness. The body is designed to be in motion, jumping, climbing, running, swimming, dancing and stretching into all kinds of poses. But what many people don't know about exercise is that sometimes less is more.

Even 20 minutes of cardiovascular exercise most days of the week will give you noticeable benefits, and when it comes to lifting heavy loads, short bursts of activity are more effective and lead to fewer injuries. And here it doesn´t matter what kind of exercise you choose. Too much prolonged exercise can produce oxidative stress that produces inflammation — a no-no for looking younger.

3. Get plenty of “sexercise.”

One of the most natural ways to achieve a more youthful glow is through the workout you get in the bedroom.

The combination of touch, passion, deep breath, movement and connective feelings with yourself and/or your partner, release signaling molecules, nitric oxide, and endorphins that brighten skin and relax the mind.

4. Clear negative thoughts.

Those negative thoughts and #affirmations you make throughout the day about yourself, your work, or those around you are food for your body and mind. These powerful messages will be read and registered in the brain and you’ll see their effects every time you look in the mirror. Turning thoughts to a more positive, optimistic tone can take some practice, so while you’re learning, fake it until you make it!

5. Don't be afraid of the sun.

Many people are afraid of the sun today, and of course with good reason. The risks of skin cancer and aging are real and should be taken seriously. But the sun is your friend, just with a little respect!

The lack of antioxidants from greens and vegetables, good fats, and healthy proteins puts us even more at risk. The fact is, along with respect of the time you are in the sun, you can be able to safely enjoy the sun and all of her benefits. (Natural Oils like Almond or Coconut oil contain a natural factor of 6 to 10, which is a healthier option to sun cream to protect your skin)

6. Eat your way to harmonious hormones.

The word “hormones” often conjures up visions of PMS or menopause, but the truth is, there are dozens of hormones playing vital roles in our everyday lives and they affect the way we look and feel. Hormones affect weight, digestion, growth, pregnancy, bones, energy and so much more.

Eating more of the good fats from fatty fish and quality vegetable oils, cruciferous vegetables such as kale and broccoli, and lignans from flax and sesame seeds, help to balance the hormones.

7. Eat lots of protein. It's a #beauty food!

Start every day of your life with a protein-rich breakfast, which controls your blood sugar level and weight, and increases your energy and muscle mass. It's tasty, homemade, and nutritionally balanced, and by making it yourself you are practicing self-love.

Another vital benefit of protein is its ability to fight mental plagues that make us feel old, like depression and mood swings.

8. Smile at the world.

If you want more #joy in your life that shines through your face and skin, smile at the people you meet in the street, the woman sitting beside you on the bus, or standing next to you in line at the airport. Take it a step further and add more spontaneous laughter to your day … and if nothing is funny, make it up!
