Self Care to Maintain Health & Youthfulness

Yes- we’d all like to live long, but also well. To accomplish this we must begin as soon as we’re aware that our future health depends on our current habits.

Some habits to cultivate:

• · Maintain good digestion and elimination.
• · Eat less, but nutritionally rich foods
• · Maintain a healthy blood sugar level
• · Turn off stress – reduce adrenal activity
• · Exercise – not too much, not too little, at the right time
• · Maintain an active mind
• · Sexual pleasure – use it or lose it
• · Maintain body moisture & lubrication, internally and externally
• · Sleep & relax for daily renewal

I’ll do a series of upcoming blogs on how to incorporate each of these into your life.

The Ultimate Face Lift

Any woman (and maybe even man) of- a- certain- age has looked into the mirror and noticed those little saddlebags forming just northeast and northwest of her chin. Wondering what it would look like if I did a little facelift, I’ve pulled up a bit on each side to smooth the chin to cheek line again. Yes! I’ve shed a decade!

I’m highly unlikely to ever submit to a knife or even chemical, or electrical treatments to keep that smoother look. There is an Ayurveda massage of the face which we teasingly call an “Ayurvedic Face Lift.” It is soothing to the mind and relaxing to the face, massaging energy points for rejuvenation and massaging that jaw line upward. I give others this treatment, but haven’t had one myself for years. It might help.

Meanwhile, I have discovered the ultimate face lift—smiling. When I smile, I can see that it pulls up those saddlebags into my cheeks to make a full, happy face. And smiling doesn’t only lift my face—it lifts me and those I smile at. I feel younger when I smile, as well as look younger.

So experiment—see how much younger YOU look by exercising your smiling muscles in a happy dance more often during the day.
