Wrinkle and sagging skin isn’t just a sign of aging – it indicates inflammation, stress and poor diet. Slow the aging process naturally with these 10 tips.

Ditch The Sugar
Excess sugar dehydrates our natural supply of with collagen and elastic, making your skin lose its elasticity. Cut back on the sweet stuff and watch your skin go from dull to vibrant.

Go Gluten-Free
Wheat and other starches can spike blood sugar levels, making it harder for important skin-tightening minerals to be absorbed by the body. Swap the breads and pasta for veggies.

Drink More Water
Chronic dehydration is a common culprit of aging skin. Drink more water to help to restore elasticity to the skin and add a more youthful glow. Aim for about two liters (or 8cups) of water a day!

Reduce Stress
When you are stressed, cortisol surges through your body, robbing it of essential minerals needed for healthy glowing skin. Reduce stress through meditation, yoga, walking outside or enjoying a hot bath before bed.

Load Up On Antioxidants
Every day we are exposed to numerous toxins that create free radical damage, causing premature aging. Fight back by loading up on a variety of fruits and vegetables to ensure you are giving your body enough nutrients.

Eat More Protein
Protein is essential for repairing and constructing tissue, and it helps keep cortisol levels in check. Eat lots of seafood, chicken, eggs and broccoli to reduce sagging skin and prevent premature aging.

Lift More Weights
Weight lifting is great for tightening skin! Plus, having lean muscle mass means you burn calories more efficiently, keeping you healthy.

Use Natural Beauty Remedies
Toxic chemicals are found in many beauty care products, making our skin age at a faster rate. Toss your store-bought lotions and creams and use skincare products made from natural, safe ingredients, like coconut oil and raw honey.

Get More Sleep
Not getting enough sleep? It could cause a hormonal cascade that increases cortisol levels, robbing you of your glow. Create a nighttime ritual to help you unwind before bed, then get ready for healing, restorative sleep!

 Eat More Healthy Fat
Healthy fatty acids like avocados, fish, and olive oil help nourish the skin internally, leading to more radiant skin.

Rest, Relaxation, Revitalization and Exercise
Make time for rest relaxation, revitalization and exercise. It is just as important that your body receives adequate rest as it is that it be exercised…. Mild exercises before retiring maybe helpful; if you are hungry have a light snack (not eba and soup) or a warm, non-stimulating beverage.
