Frowning creates far more wrinkles than smiling. You may not realize just how much frowning can make you look older. Do your best to stop frowning. If you feel a frown coming on, give yourself a quick pinch. Only you can break this bad habit.

Do not be too concerned with numbers. It's a doctor's job to focus on your weight, height and age. If you only dwell on your age, your weight, or your shrinkage, you can miss out on things that can keep you young.

Boost your exercise routines, and commit more time to fitness overall. In order to maintain your strength and fitness against aging, your body needs to move.

This will help your body stay fit, which could ward off other issues seen as you age.

Make sure that you get enough sleep at your age. Individuals who get between seven and nine full hours of sleep nightly often feel more relaxed as a result of balanced hormone levels. Lack of proper rest can lead to an imbalance in moods and decrease your ability to fully enjoy life.

Your home is your castle, and that only grows more true as you age. Make it personalized and able to fit your needs, especially if you deal with age related limitations. Your home should be comfortable and a refuge from the outside world. You will always appreciate coming home, or even staying there all day.

In order to get true fulfillment out of life you need to build positive relationships with your friends. The friendship will give your life energy, motivation and the love you need to make it through any day. Age is irrelevant when it comes to forming new friendships. So get yourself going and out among other people and gain new friendships so you can have a longer and better life.
