Are you struggling to get rid of your wrinkles? Those expensive creams and lotions promising to eliminate all of your wrinkles, but do you feel as if they’re empty promises?
The key to diminishing and preventing future wrinkles is right in your home and your day-to-day lifestyle. Consuming high-quality proteins, vegetables, and getting adequate sleep can all contribute to decreasing your wrinkles and preventing future ones!
1. The next time you take a trip to the grocery store, make sure to stock up in the produce department! It’s crucial to consume at least the minimum daily serving requirement of fruits and vegetables to maintain adequate health and diminish the appearance of wrinkles. Limit the consumption of fruits heavy in fructose—or fruit sugar—since fructose, as with all sugars, can increase the appearance of wrinkles. Stick with fruits such as strawberries, blueberries, cranberries, lemons, and bananas.
2. Toss out the refined sugar and replace artificial sweeteners with organic, natural sweeteners such as Raw Local Honey and Stevia. Excessive sugar consumption can damage your liver and cause breaks in your DNA, leading to autoimmune disorders. Consume any sugar, including fruit sugar, in moderation. Training your body to break the habits of sugar-overloads is key in being an overall healthier you and saying goodbye to those wrinkles!
3. Get outside and into the sun! Moderate sunshine provides your body with necessary Vitamin D to replenish the vitamins and elasticity in your skin. Aim for at least 15 minutes a day of moderate exposure, but be sure to slather on your SPF. Reapply and take all other precautions if you’re planning any prolonged periods of sun exposure.
4. Commit to a life-long relationship with coconut. Replacing vegetable or canola oil with coconut oil and olive oil is a simple way to slow your skin’s aging. Add a tablespoon of coconut oil to your morning smoothie, indulge in some coconut crisps, replace standard dairy with coconut milk, or rub unrefined coconut oil on your problem spots.
5. RELAX. Stress is one of the primary contributors to premature aging because it reduces the natural collagen and elasticity in your skin essential to preventing wrinkles. Start every morning off right with a few minutes of meditation. Read a good book, go for a walk, or relax by the beach after a long day at work. Remember to take a little time out of the day for yourself. A stress-free lifestyle is one that reaps astounding rewards!
These 5 simple steps are a great start to a healthier, younger, wrinkle-free appearance. Make small changes to your time and energy and see how that healthy, natural glow blossoms!
You know what really gets to me? It’s when I speak to someone who’s been struggling for years with excess weight, belly bloat, aches and pains, skin that feels old and wrinkled… and they tell me they’re trying yet another new “diet.”
It gets to me because I can see in their eyes they don’t really believe it’s going to work, but they’re gosh-darn gonna give it a try anyway.
I’ve been there. I’ve been on the yo-yo diet roller coaster, felt ten years older than I am, walked around with aches, pains and inflammation, believing this was just the way life is. Sometimes, I wish I could go back in time to my college self, grab her and say, you don’t have to go through this! You can have a lifetime of health, feeling great and looking amazing!
I can’t go back in time, but I do feel like I’ve turned back the clock, ever since I blew that yo-yo diet pop stand and took a chance on clean eating. Let me tell you, that is one journey I will never, ever regret. I lost all the weight I’d been lugging about for years, and KEPT IT OFF! My skin, hair, eyes all look great, and I feel and look 10 years younger.
I gambled my health and wellbeing on clean eating, and that gamble paid off big time. And because I took the gamble, took the risk, you get to enjoy the benefits, risk-free! I changed the way I look and feel, and it happened fast. Since then, I’ve helped 100’s of clients achieve similar results.
Quit yo-yo dieting – quit dieting altogether! Enjoy a program that’s a lifestyle – one that’s delicious, nourishing, and totally revitalizing.
