3 Absolutely Essential Beauty Tips for women over 45
For women who think that life is about over when menopausal symptoms sets in, don’t despair. In fact this is the beginning of a new life – a journey of self-discovery and a discovery of things around you. While some men claimed that life begins at forty, I would think women too should think just the same. Left with precious time in your hands as the children are most probably in their teens, starts to get hold of things around you – especially your own health and wellbeing. You’re not going to allow some hormonal changes to affect you and blamed it on your bad genes. Your wellbeing is almost totally in your hands!
Your diet
Diet is one serious area to watch. Diet is what makes you well or hell. There is no question about it. Hippocrates had said some 2000 years ago, Let food be your medicine and medicine be your food. In fact our bodies are intelligent enough to heal itself. Provided we feed ourselves the right food, the right nutrients that is the right nourishment it needs. It’s nothing unusual to expect a bad reaction when we put in toxins. Our body is clever enough to give you a bad diarrhea so by eliminating the substances out of the system, you are protected. Starting age 45 above, our body biochemistry reactions slows much as compared to when we were 20 years ago. This is a natural biological process that we can’t stop. But we can slow down the damage by taking care of what goes into your mouth. For example, researches have already established the powerhouse of antioxidants in their role in turning back the aging clock. Antioxidants are, without a slightest doubt, the key to fight off aging.
Your beauty sleep
Getting plenty of good night sleep and rest helps the body cells to recuperate and rebuild stronger cells. No wonder we feel very good after a sleep or at times felt irritable if your body is not getting the sleep it needs. Do you know that the miracle hormone melatonin that your pineal gland in the body produces during sleep has been recognized as nature’s age reversing, disease fighting sex enhancing hormone? The promise that it can help prevent damage to cells by free radicals may well add years to your age. If you are dying for a good night sleep, taking a melatonin supplement should help. Of course please consult your nutritional practitioner first.
Your stress levels
Managing stress becomes very important because studies had shown that chronic stress can actually kills people. Women and man included, when they smoke raises a chemical called Interleukin-6, secreted by fat cells that causes fatal diseases like heart failure, arthritis, osteoporosis and type-2 diabetes. However, exercise reduces these chemical levels and coupled with sufficient sleep, our body is normalized once again. Needless to say, give yourself a break from getting all worked up or unduly stressed. Take things one step at a time and think objectively. Each time you’re about to fly into a rage, tell yourself “stay calm”.
Sometimes we ought to ask ourselves what’s all the talk about eating right, proper sleep or the rushing are for. Aren’t we all heading in the same direction and will soon catch up with Him in the clouds. My view is that health and beauty must be enjoyed while we can and know how. Yes, it makes sense to take care of your health naturally!
