Fountain of Youth in Ourselves

Aging is inevitable. Everyone goes through the process, rich or poor, man or royalties. No amount of money can stop the aging process. That is the reason perhaps that everyone is on the lookout for what captions call the fountain of youth.

But it seems that the fountain of youth is in fact not something that can be found in some ancient and magical stream hidden in some obscure place in the world. The fountain of youth can be found within ourselves. This is not something we can drink medicine, but as something that we do or practice in our lives.

According to a study by the Mac Arthur Foundation and John Catherine called "Successful Aging, genes account for 30 per cent of the person on the whole process of aging. The remaining percentage depends on how a person uses or misuses his body. In short, it's lifestyle-driven.

More than half of the aging process will depend on the nature of life that will lead us if we abuse the body or not. In fact, taking care of us, we can truly live up to a hundred years. Without bodies were not factors. The reason is that advances in biomedicine has made the use of artificial organs.

Smoking cigarettes, drinking alcohol, inactivity and unbalanced diets are some of the factors of lifestyle that may affect the aging process.

Cigarettes, for example, can lead to lung problems. This can deprive the body of a fluid and easy movement, which led to a pale appearance and pasted. Ingredients in a cigarette may also deprive the body of vitamins such as vitamin C, which is mostly needed in the skin renewal and cell regeneration.

The same with alcoholic drinks. Too much alcohol can damage the skin, as it expands the small blood vessels in the body and the skin surface. This leads to an increase in blood flow in certain areas. More worked blood vessels can be damaged over time, giving a flushed appearance and the appearance of broken blood vessels.

Lack of exercise is also another factor. Continued inactivity deprives the body to regenerate and eliminate toxins. In addition to getting rid of fat and cholesterol that clog pores, activity or exercise strengthens the muscles and keeps it firmly. It also contributes to traffic.

Another important factor in skin aging is the food that we take into our bodies. Eat a balanced meal often ensure that your skin is nourished by vitamins and minerals it needs for its growth and renewal. Many fruits and vegetables is recommended because these foods are antioxidants that prevent aging at bay.
