The 10 Daily Habits for Staying Youthful Longer

An American Indian woman and a Tibetan monk


You cannot be youthful just by watching your diet or exercise alone. You need to follow a healthy regimen or a healthy lifestyle to be youthful much longer. Here are the daily habits


1. Sleep: When you sleep at night, your body secretes growth hormones to repair and rebuild body tissues. It is also at night that your skin cells regenerate faster. A good night’s sleep means renewal and rejuvenation for your body

2. Be happy: When you get up in the morning, do a broad smile in front of the mirror. You are greeted with a broad smile in return and it is the best way to start a new day because it makes you feel good. Crack a joke with friends and laugh out loud to lift your cheerful mood further. Be happy and generate other positive emotions like enthusiasm, confidence, appreciation, and love. When you are feeling down consume chocolate to make you happy because it releases endorphins.

3. Avoid the sun: The above pictures tell the full story.

4. Diet: Eat more fruits and vegetables and less meat and fried food. Drink more water and less alcoholic and carbonated drinks. Eat your breakfast and maintain a daily bowel movement to keep your system clean and moving freely:

5. Exercise: When you can walk from here to there, don’t drive or take the lift. Jog or cycle every day to sweat it out.

6. Be connected: You don’t have to keep things in your heart. Let it out, tell your friends. You will feel better.

7. Peace of mind: Avoid negative emotions like jealousy, hatred, vengeance, or resentment. How to have a peaceful mind when your mind is filled with negative thoughts? Learn to relax by taking up Yoga or Tai Chi.

8. Stop smoking: Smoking is not only bad for health; the habit will accelerate your aging much faster.

9. Use your brain
: Mental activities will also extend your youthfulness much longer. Play Scrabble and other word games to stimulate your mind. Learn something new like blogging to sustain your alertness and curiosity.

10. Live in the moment: Don’t dwell on your failures in the past and don’t worry about the future. Live in the moment, be mindful of what you are doing, focus your mind to live the moment, and enjoy life.


From the above list, you will note that when you do the right things, behave positively, and eat the right kinds of food you can be youthful much longer.
