Welcoming in the New Year with New Year’s resolutions is pretty traditional. A new year, means a new fresh start, another opportunity to get things right. What if for 2014 that means slowing down time and trying to look younger even though the hands of time keep moving forward. Let’s look at the top 6 achievable New Year’s resolutions to stay young.
#1 Take Your Vitamins
Your health should always be first and foremost. It would be wonderful if we could eat properly every day like fish, fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, etc. and no processed or pre-packaged foods. But to be sure take your vitamins. Getting the right vitamins and minerals helps to keep your organs healthier and younger and that includes your skin, which can look years younger.
#2 Take the Time to Exercise Regularly
Exercise helps you to stay in shape, healthier and to maintain a healthy weight. If you want to stay young, then exercising is a must. Exercising improves your cardio, your metabolism, increases oxygen in the blood and increases your blood flow. Research has shown that exercises actually affect your telomere length, which protects your cells from dying and keeps you looking years younger. Exercising regularly plays an important role in staying younger.
#3 Remember to Take Stress Out of Your Life
It’s time to take a ‘chill pill’ and get the stress out of your life. We aren’t talking about Valium or sleeping pills – we aren’t talking about any pill really, except for figuratively speaking. What we want you to do is find a way to calm down and to learn how to relax in situations that are stressful.
This doesn’t mean you head off to your favorite vacation destination every time there’s stress and something isn’t going right. It does however mean that you should learn techniques that will allow you to relax. Breathing exercises are one example of a method that can help you to de-stress, yoga is another as is creating your own mantra or chant.
You might be surprised to learn that cutting out junk food and alcohol can help to reduce your stress.
#4 Make Sure to Care for Your Skin
We aren’t talking about some fancy beauty regime. If you want to do that great, but if you don’t want to that’s okay too. Because, the bottom line is that your skin’s health isn’t dependent on how much your beauty regime costs you.
It begins by protecting your skin from sun, by wearing sunscreen even on the dull and gloomy days. You also need to wash your face in the morning and at night before you go to bed. Finally, you need to moisturize every day. Coconut oil has been shown to be excellent at reducing find lines and wrinkles and give your skin that youthful glow.
#5 Take Good Care of Your Brain
Staying young isn’t just about how good you look, it includes having a sharp brain. This plays a very important role in how you act and how you are stimulated each day. Do things to keep your brain sharp. Learn a new language, develop a new skill, do a crossword, take a course, read a book, etc. The brain is yet another case of use it or lose it.
#6 Take an HGH Supplement
HGH or human growth hormone is produced in the body by the pituitary gland. However, by the time we are in our 30s we are producing less and less HGH and as a result we begin to see the signs of aging appear – fine lines and wrinkles, graying hair, less energy, decrease in libido, decrease in lean muscle mass, increase in belly fat and so many other signs/symptoms associated with aging. By taking a quality HGH supplement, which will help your body to increase HGH production, you can begin to turn back time and the signs of aging.

Those are some easy ones! Much easier than the people that want to lose a lot of weight and set their goals way too high and give up my Valentines!
I have never taken a vitamin supplement because I didn’t think I needed one. I just started taking a multi vitamin and I can’t believe the difference it has made. I will be adding an hgh supplement to it soon and I am sure I will be looking and feeling better than ever in no time.
I’m terrible at the vitamins. I just can’t get used to doing the supplements, though I think they’re vital to feeling great.
Bleh. Maybe this is my next NYE Resolution?
I try to stay hydrated as much as possible. It’s good for your body and really good for your skin.
