Everyone ages, until they die. But how you age, is what matters. Some may feel older than their years, while others seem to defy Father Time. I’m going to give you what you need to feel and look 10 years younger!
If you are over 40, you are most likely feeling like you can’t eat like you used to, and can’t move like you did when you were younger. This doesn’t mean you have to live on lettuce or hire a personal trainer.
Nor, does it mean that your best years are behind you.
What I’d like you to do, is to imagine looking in the mirror when you get out of the shower and smiling at your reflection. Yeah, I get that you’re not feeling that now. However, you can make small, do-able changes in your daily habits, that will literally take years off within weeks.
I’m not talking about a magic weight loss pill or a new skincare cream. And, I’m not talking about surgery. What I am referring to is how capable all of our bodies are at changing.
You just need to give your body a bit of something that it isn’t used to.

Here are 10 Tips on how to feel and look 10 years younger.
- Drink more water. Aim for at least half of your body weight in ounces daily. Every cell in your body depends on water. Your brain will be sharper, you’ll shuttle out impurities, feel more energized, and have smoother skin.
- Eat more colorful produce. Phytonutrients are the key to slowing the aging process. Consume veggies such as artichokes, spinach, broccoli, and greens for beneficial fiber. Choose berries, citrus fruits, and pineapple for healing properties.
- Reduce Stress. Stress shows up on your face, and is a silent killer. Smiling takes less effort than frowning, and you’ll look and feel younger when you are happier.
- Try something new. Young people like to try new things. Even if you think it may not be for you, open your mind to adventure. Go see a new band, or plan a vacation somewhere where there is activity!
- Get moving outside. Fresh air and sunshine are a recipe for happiness. Take a walk, ride your bike, or go to a local park and hike the trails. Make plans for at least two long weekends away, where you can be outside, whether it be summer or winter. Our bodies feel rejuvenated when you spend time in nature.
- Strength train at least twice weekly. If you want to feel and look 10 years younger, this is going to be a key! Muscle loss as we age is responsible for a weaker core, and a slower metabolism. Build muscle with bodyweight exercises, and dumbbells or kettlebells.
- Spend time with optimistic people. People who are negative can be draining. Of course, it’s nice to be a shoulder for a friend, but keep that limited. Choose friends that love life, and have something nice to say.
- Always have something to look forward to. My father passed away recently, at 88 years old after battling cancer for 17 years. Up until the last six days of his life, he was still planning events, and activities that he loved. I truly believe that this is what kept him alive and strong. This is also why people were shocked when they found out he had been ill for so long. He exuded youth in his actions and his mentality.
- Discover your love for culture, music, art, and new restaurants. You don’t have to break the bank to get into any of these. Walk through an art festival. Check out a local band. Pick a date night at the symphony or a hard rock festival. Dine at an ethnic restaurant and ask for recommendations.
- Ditch packaged food, chemicals in skincare, candles and dryer sheets, and junk food loaded with ingredients you can’t pronounce. If you can’t read it, don’t eat it! Your body won’t recognize these either. Stick to whole foods as close to nature as possible.
Follow the tips on this list, and see how you can feel and look 10 years younger soon!
