There are really only two main aspects of putting the brakes on the aging process and looking, feeling and functioning much younger than you will if you do not bother with either of them. You need to pay attention to them both if you truly wish to remain youthful as they are so closely linked. The first aspect (most visible) is the physical and it is really hard to look youthful when you are out of shape. You need muscle tone, as a firm lean, shapely youthful body is not possible without it. No amount of face lifts, collagen injections, implants, surgeries or treatments of any kind can do the same job. There is no surgeon in the world that can replace naturally built firm toned vital looking muscle tissue. Our lean muscle tissue is so important to staying young in so many ways. When muscles are worked in the right way with proper strength training exercise they grow into a more pleasing shape, tighter, firmer and more uplifted. Lean strong muscles are taut against your body, as opposed to soft flabby ones which just hang and sag. Your exercise program needs to be made up of mostly strength training exercise as this is the only way to tone up and strengthen your muscles. No amount of low intensity, long duration repetitive recreational activity can ever do it no matter what anyone says. You need a proper program that works the major muscle groups through their ranges of movement under a load and you need to put some effort into it. The second thing is to address what you eat. Ditch as many processed food items as possible if you truly want to reclaim your youth. This means things in a pretty box, packet, bag, tinned or frozen as these things are loaded with nasty chemicals and have little to zero nutrition. Replace them with natural whole unprocessed foods like a tomato, a carrot, a sweet potato, a piece of grass fed beef or fish from the ocean. Look for food items that do not have food labels as they have not been messed around with by man. Implementing these two strategies will go a very long way towards knocking off a decade or two from your looks, the way you feel and the way you function. Slowing down the aging process is no longer something you do later in life; you need to take steps to do it before you get to that point and as early as possible. However, it is never too late to start doing something about improving your strength and what you eat which will benefit your health no matter your age. Gyms and fitness centers all over the world have seen tremendous growth over the past decade, due to the epidemic of overweight, weak and unfit people brought up in fast-paced no-exercise, fast convenience food lifestyle. Think of the improvements you make as an investment in yourself, because they are positive things that build up and strengthen as time passes by. You simply keep adding to it whereas if you keep eating whatever, whenever and living a no proper exercise lifestyle you are taking away. But the problem is you are taking from yourself and it will cost you somewhere down the track and the price may be higher than you want to pay.
