You are what you eat, is an adage one should remember every time you are about to eat. When you eat healthy and stay fit your skin slows down the aging process. Making antioxidants a part of your daily diet, eating more fibrous and colorful fruits are some of the tips that if followed, can help you age gracefully.

Include antioxidants in your diet:
When it comes to repairing damaged cells in your body, you need antioxidants. The damage that our skin suffers daily thanks to the relentless sun rays, the ever present pollution can be repaired with anti-oxidants. They can also help in increasing the elasticity of your skin.

Choose the right fatty acids:
It is important to maintain a balance between the Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids. This proper balance is required for maintaining cellular health and for reduction of inflammation. Omega 3 rich foods are avocado, olive oil, salmon fish, tuna, walnuts, flaxseeds.

Eating at regular intervals and balancing sugar levels:
If you keep hungry for longer intervals, excess insulin may be produced and that can lead to aging and inflammation. Eating small meals at two to three intervals is important.

Exercise everyday:
If you thought you need to exercise only if you are fat, then you need to think again. Exercising regularly does aid in weight management but also increases your energy, boosts your immune system and increases bone density.
