10 Anti-Aging Benefits Of Water
10 anti-aging benefits of water
We all know that water is an extremely important nutrient for survival. But besides keeping us alive or just quenching our thirst, it can do a number of things in our bodies to help fight the aging process.
Many experts say the average person should drink about 64 ounces of water per day. Other experts say you should drink 1/2 ounce for every 1 pound of body weight to account for all the water loss through the consumption of coffee, alcohol etc. Regardless of the number you use, the sad truth is most of us do not consume nearly enough water throughout the day to really reap the tremendous benefits that clean, fresh water can give us.

Your Eyes Need Exercise Too
Your Eyes Needs Exercise Too!
If you do a fair amount of reading and computer work, then you are probably like me…. and often need to give your eyes a break. However, did you know you need to give them exercise too. Exercising the eye muscles will help slow down the aging process, just like it does for the rest of our body.
Rub your hands together to make them warm. (You can shake them or hold them in front of a heat vent if you prefer) Then close your eyes. Cover your eyes with your warm hands. Make sure your hands do not touch your eyelids and that you do not rest your cheekbones on your hands. If you want to place the weight of your head on your hands, put the weight on the forehead. Then look at the dark. If you see spots or zaps of light, wait till you see the dark. Don’t hurry. Do this at least twice a day for 5 to 15 minutes.

Can Face Exercises Reverse Signs of Aging?
While it’s hard for me to fathom that years of smiling, frowning, squinting and wrinkling our brow line does a toll on facial muscles, over the years these muscles do begin to weaken and our skin begins to wrinkle and sag due to the elongated weakening muscles.
Regular face exercises help strengthen the damaged face muscles after years of use. So it makes sense that strengthening these muscles can reverse these negative effects. We tend to the rest of our body at the gym so why not keep our face in shape.
Unfortunately it’s more or less impossible to go through life with no expression on our faces. We’d be pretty boring company, how ever an all star poker player possibly. By regularly performing face exercises we can recapture our youthful image we had when we were younger, without going through any painful injections or surgeries.
In a nutshell what happens under the skin is this; As the muscles weaken and begin to elongate, our skin will begin to sag. Of course sagged skin on the outside is what causes those aging effects to occur. By working the right muscles with face exercises you are able to stimulate blood flow to those muscles, and also increase the amount of oxygen that the skin receives. By receiving more blood and oxygen the skin can begin to produce more health skin cells. Helping to reverse the aging effects.
Since there is no equipment required, face exercise can be done anywhere any time. You can work them into your daily routine, or do some when you have a private spare moment. It’s only a few minutes a day and the results you’ll experience are well worth it. The recommended time for spending on face exercises daily is only fifteen minutes. Isn’t an improved appearance worth that amount of time and more.
