Aging is something that happens to everyone. We all get older. A vast majority of us look to this period of our lives with dread and worry, but it does not have to be that way. Aging can actually be quite the positive experience. This article will offer some tips to gracefully age.

Smoothies are a great and delicious way to get more nutrients as we age! You can combine literally anything to create a tasty treat that delivers valuable vitamins and minerals to your system. Add fruits, vegetables, flax seeds and yogurt or ice-cream to mix a potent potion you can enjoy any time of the day!

Make sure to get sun, but not too much. As you age, it’s important to find a balance when it comes to taking in direct sunlight. It’s important, as sunlight is a great way to get vitamin D into your system, but too much sun can have seriously effects on aging skin like sever burns and skin cancer. Manage your time in the sun, and when you are out in it, wear high SPF sunscreen.

Consider volunteering with a church or community organization to keep yourself active and to expand your circle of friends and acquaintances. Many organizations rely heavily on volunteers and you can frequently find one supporting a cause or work you believe in. As an additional benefit, volunteering exposes you to others with similar interests, making it easier to find new friends or peers.

As you get older, you will notice some significant changes in your skin. As you age, your skin thins, loses elasticity and becomes more fragile. There is also a decrease in the production of natural oil in your skin cells. You can take measures to protect your skin. Only bathe in warm water and use mild soap products. When outdoors, protect your skin from the sun’s harmful rays by wearing protective clothing or using a sunscreen.
