There is a great deal of useful anti aging information on line on how to look great at any age, improve your health and extend your longevity. Biological age these days is just a number judging by how great many people look and how healthy they are in their 40s, 50s and even 60s and 70s.

However, after being bombarded with countless anti aging tips and products on TV, radio, Internet daily,  it’s really hard to choose the most important and valuable tips that are suitable to you and easy to use on a regular basis.

These 5 powerful and simple anti aging tips will not only make you feel good about yourself, but also make you look radiant and stay healthy for many years to come.

1. Stick with the Healthiest Diets of All

A lot of world’s healthiest people who lived past 100, followed a Mediterranean diet that is rightfully considered to be one of the healthiest and anti aging diets on the planet.

What is a Mediterranean Diet?

Mediterranean Diet is a diet full of fresh seasonal vegetables and fruit, healthy fats and beans, poultry and fish, nuts and olives and, of course, extra virgin olive oil and some great wine.

All those fresh whole foods are full of vitamins, fiber and antioxidants. You won’t find saturated fats, deep fried or processed foods in this healthy Mediterranean Diet.

Mediterranean diet is not just another anti aging diet, it’s a way of living which includes not only delicious every day meals, but also exercise in moderation and wonderful social activities on a regular basis.

No wonder that Mediterranean Diet has so many health benefits like protecting us against heart disease, diabetes, cancer, obesity etc.

On top of that, preparation methods of Mediterranean meals are very simple, inexpensive and don’t require a lot of ingredients.

2. Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle

Saying a healthy lifestyle is essential in order to stay young and healthy is way too boring. But how about adding 10-15 quality years to your life expectancy?

One of the biggest secrets to vitality and longevity is incorporating healthy habits into your everyday life the way that you don’t feel like you are working too hard on it. Try to follow this golden anti aging rule “Everything is good in moderation” in work and food.

To get the best motivation for maintaining a healthy lifestyle, surround yourself with fun and energetic people who engage themselves in healthy activities and healthy eating. Emotional support of your friends and family will do the magic and will help you to be strong and stick with the right healthy choices.

Remember: you are never too old to get in shape. In fact, the older you get, the more important physical activity is to help reduce the risks of illness and injury.

3. Anti Aging Benefits of Sleep

Everyone has different needs for sleep, but on an average adults need to have at least 7 to 8 hours of sleep daily. Consistent lack of sleep can have a tremendous impact on your health, looks, memory, productivity, ability to do your job, drive your car etc.

According to recent studies conducted on people of ages between 50 to 80, there were more death among people sleeping less than 5 hours a day.

And also according to a new research from www.sleepfoundation.org, even your body fat cells need sleep to recover. Failure to get enough sleep can cause all sorts of health problems like headaches, heart blood pressure, weight gain, vision problems, increased risk of cancer and diabetes, heart disease etc.

If you want to look young, feel healthy and energetic and extend your life expectancy, do not underestimate the great anti aging power of sleep!

4. Social Factor

Believe it or not, having a great circle of family, friends and/or co-workers and engaging in a number of social activities with them can dramatically improve the quality of your life thus increase your health benefits.

This is a single most important thing you can do to extend your life expectancy!

5. Minimize Stress and Simplify Your Life

This is one of my favorite anti aging tips. Turn off your phone, pager, computer and make yourself unavailable for everyone.

Find at least 10-15 minutes a day to do something fun and relaxing for yourself like yoga or meditation, taking a power nap or a bubble bath, listening to your favorite music or spending time with your pets.

Forget about work, children and learn how to relax and do absolutely nothing. This is the best thing you can do for yourself: your mind, your body, your spirit and your health.

If you do it daily, it will help you to have more energy throughout the day, reduce stress levels, boost brain function, improve your health and, ultimately, live a longer and happier life!

What are your favorite anti aging tips that you would like to add to this list?

    This is a very helpful article because it raises awareness, and being aware is the first step to making changes and adjusting habits. By the way, as it turns out, coffee contains antioxidants and has been proven to reduce the risk of certain diseases, including type 2 diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, certain types of cancer, dementia, and heart attacks and strokes. (Check WebMD.com). As Elena points out though, a healthy lifestyle comes first.


    • Twitter:
      Hi Joel, you are absolutely right. Being aware of what you need to do to stay healthy is the first step to success. I love coffee myself and also the fact that recent studies show that it is actually good for you. But as I said earlier, everything we eat or drink should be in moderation. Thanks for stopping by!

    I’ve been mixed between the Paleo and Mediterranean diets. They both have strong points, they both have scientific cons. However, you have to take scientific cons into the realization that we’re not robots and everyone digets differently.
    All around a refreshing read on this beautiful new England Sunday morning.
    One note I have to make on the sleeping aspect is, naps – I’ve been reading that they can actually screw up your circadian rhythm which I found very interesting (the C.R. is a main factor toward why we need to sleep, if our body’s alarm clock is off it just won’t work).

      Hi James, I guess it depends on the person. Everybody’s different. Some people really need only 7 hours of sleep while others do 8-9 and need a nap too. I think we need to listen to our body and if it tells us it’s time to rest, then we should do that. But if you are full of energy and can run all day after a good night sleep, that is fine too. Thanks for your insight. I greatly appreciate it! Please check out a new joke I just posted on my blog. It is hilarious!

    Hi Elena,
    Interesting article. You list some important tips. The Mediterranean diet is a good tip. Dr. Andrew Weil also discusses and recommends this diet in his books. All the other things you list are important too. Two things that are on the top of my list are smoking and alcohol use. I quit both years ago and couldn’t be happier that I did. Both of those habits will take years off the healthiest of us. Thanks for the read and best wishes!

Thanks for stopping by and please check out a new joke I just posted on my website – it’s very funny!

    Hi Elena,

    You have made some very good points. I’ve another one to add and that is to grow and maintain a good nature attitude. How many times have I asked someone, “How ya doin” and then get back, “Well, I’ve been better.” Any potential conversation ends right there.

    Attitude has a lot to do with maintaining a healthy body and mental chemistry. It has been proven that a poor attitude leads to stress, and stress leads to sickness and premature aging.

    I like your post!

    Regards,

    Fred

    To me, there’s 4 major simple things that have the biggest effect on keeping you healthy and living well into your 80′s, 90′s and beyond.

    1. Most of what you eat should be vegetables – Vegetables are low in calories, sources of many varieties of nutrients, and they fill you up. Keep it to a variety of colors and types and you’re guaranteed all the nutrients you need. If you need specific percentage, it should be 50%+ of your diet.

    2. Don’t eat too much – I don’t think humans were ever meant to gorge themselves on 40 pc chicken nuggets, mcdoubles, or vegas style buffets. Eating too much clearly leads to obesity, diabetes, and numerous other problems proven extensively by science. Eat in moderation.

    3. Exercise at least 20 minutes a day, 5 days of the week – Sure more exercise is usually better, but significant health benefits are found already at the 20 minute level if you look at various studies. It’s a reasonable recommendation and definitely doable. Go for a jog, bike, hike, swim, dance–anything as long it keeps you breathing for 20 continuous minutes. Throw in 2 sessions of strength training and you’re golden.

    4. Get enough rest – Sleep is essential. Recovery is essential. Organize, plan, and prioritize. You aren’t meant to run around 24 hours a day on caffeine.

    4 simple, easy to remember guidelines that cover 80% of what you need to do be healthy: eat mostly vegetables, don’t eat too much, exercise, get enough rest.


  22. Twitter:
    You are absolutely right Stella! We should make our health a priority which will definitely lead to a long, happy, healthy and successful life! Thanks for stopping by!

  33. Twitter:
    Hi Elena,

    You have a great article here.

    But I think you forgot an important thing:

    SUGAR

    Sugar is something that makes you both look old and become older.

    I´ll explain how:

    Sugar actively ages you binds to proteins in a process called glycogen. Those proteins include collagen and elastin. That´s what your skin is made of.

    Your skin breaks and get brittle because of sugar makes it less elastic.

    But it doesn´t stop there. Sugar later makes collagen and elastin mutate, and that´s when wrinkles become hard to erase!

    So that´s my advise on top of your great ones: drop refined sugar!
    :)


  34. Twitter:
    Hello Pedro, you are absolutely right! Sugar is one of the things that definitely contributes to the aging process and needs to be used in moderation. Thanks for stopping by!

  35. Our body is in a constant and never ending struggle for survival. Scientists estimate that each of our cells must withstand around 10,000 individual assaults from reactive oxygen species (ROS) or free radicals. Amazingly, the body has an incredible system of self-healing that withstands the onslaught and rebuilds what has been damaged.

    Oxidative stress is the damage that occurs when free radicals outnumber the body’s antioxidants. This damages all body cell components: proteins, lipids and DNA. In fact, researchers have found that one out of every three proteins is rendered dysfunctional by unchecked free radical damage.

    Thiols are sulfur containing compounds in the body that act as antioxidants. They react with free radicals to neutralize them. Serum levels of thiols reflect DNA’s capacity to repair itself, report scientists of Biomedical Diagnostic Research, Inc, and can be used to measure aging and disease status. In a 2003 study published in the Journal of Anti Aging Medicine, low serum thiol levels were found in nine different categories of human sickness and disease.

    The study qualified participants for age, sex and the use of nutritional supplements. Healthy individuals that received chiropractic care for 2 or more years had higher serum thiol levels than those with disease. It showed that some of the patients had serum thiol levels higher than what is associated with normal wellness.

    Hi Elena, When I was a teen, I was in a magnet program that left me with just 2 hours a sleep every night for 2.5 years. It was a lifestyle that really took a toll so that part about sleep, I get it. These days I’m not getting as much sleep some nights but I can take a nap and just feel better if needs be. I am definitely more mindful of a lot of these tips. Thanks!

    I agree with Sunny Mui – exercise must be emphasized more. We are built to move. Sedentary lifestyles are a major problem. Regular cardio and strength training will reduce all the biofactors that contribute to heart disease and diabetes. Exercise even reduces bad cholesterol so helps manage those diets with a little too much saturated fat – why some athletes “get away” with a lot of fatty meat in their diets.

    Proper diet, exercise, getting enough sleep, etc., all play an important role in our overall well-being. They also play a significant role in our sexual well-being. Getting enough sleep has always been a great deal of trouble for me, because it seems no matter how I sleep, I can’t find a position that is comfortable and the type of mattress doesn’t make a difference either. I can sleep better in a recliner than nearly anywhere else, but I don’t think my wife would appreciate me sleeping on a recliner all nith.

    You are right about olive oil, we have olive oil in our meals on a daily basis, on breakfast ( ex. humous, you should try it one day!) and also we use it for cooking, instead of butter.
    And vegetables are always available in dinner and launch.
    One more important thing : our main meal is launch, we only eat snacks on dinner, no high fat foods before sleep.
