Everyone wants to look young and trim. Though we cannot prevent aging we can definitely delay aging by making changes in our lifestyle. We must do everything we can, to prevent age related diseases and live a healthy and happy life. Here are some tips which will help you to stay young.
Diet : Diet plays a very important role in helping us to remain young. We must have a balanced diet.
 We are what we eat. What we eat reflects on our skin and body. First develop a regular eating habit
 like eating at a proper time. Include lot of raw vegetables and fruits in your diet. Avoid junk food and
 fried food. Sugar makes you look older, so you can substitute sugar with honey and fruits. Include
 five servings of fruits and vegetables in your diet. Red, yellow, orange, fruits and vegetables and
 greens are rich in antioxidants which helps us to delay aging. Green tea is rich in antioxidant and also
 strengthens our resistance against diseases. Include almonds, olive oil (use it as a cooking medium)
 fenugreek, in your diet as they are rich in antioxidants and helps to slow down the aging process. As
 we grow older, we must stick to simple and easily digestible food. One can observe fasting to detoxify
 oneself after consulting the doctor. People who eat a nutritious diet remain younger, tend to age
 slower, look trim, healthier and are more active than others.
Yoga : The age old tradition of yoga is said to have emerged in India some 5000 yrs ago. It is one of
 the surest ways to age gracefully, if practiced regularly. It gives flexibility to the body, prevents age
 related diseases, improves immunity and slows aging of the skin, thereby helping us to remain
 young. In yoga, it is said that the more flexible the spine is, the more youthful the person is. Yoga
 improves the flexibility of the spine and increases the elasticity of our body. It gives a good figure,
 improves blood circulation, energizes you and helps you to remain young and fit. Not only does yoga
 has physical benefits but also psychological benefits. It improves our self confidence. Learn yoga only
 from a good, qualified yoga teacher. Pranayama (breathing techniques) is very beneficial to the body
 and the mind and it oxygenates our cells and helps us to remain young.
Sleep : Good sound sleep not only rejuvenates our body but also strengthens

 our immunity to various diseases thereby helping us to remain young.

Massage : It is skin which shows our age. So keep your skin hydrated and
 moisturized. Massage your skin with sweet almond oil or coconut oil once in
 a fortnight to  delay aging. Massage helps us to feel relaxed and energizes
 us. It improves blood circulation and keeps your skin wrinkle free.
Do not massage when your stomach is full or when you are sick.

Mental Health : Always keep yourself engaged. Read a book, do crossword
 puzzles, sudoku to keep your brain active. Enjoy friendships, foster good
 relationship with family members, learn a new hobby, maintain interest as
 these will help to reduce stress and make you feel happy.
