In some cultures in our world getting older is a measure of wisdom, hard work and experience, something to be respected and even admired. But in today's culture however, wrinkles and graying hair are looked on in a completely different light so staying youthful looking is important if we want to 'stay in the game'. We all know the importance of getting enough muscle building and maintaining exercise but we do not usually think of it as having any special anti-aging affect on our skin, but it most certainly does. As we get older the natural creation of collagen, a kind of connective tissue that plumps out our skin is reduced. The collagen producing cells in our skin become fewer in number and get somewhat lazier as we get older and the wrinkles start to appear. Your strength training exercise program not only keeps your body toned and strong when you workout with some intensity (degree of effort used) you infuse your skin's cells with oxygen as well as nourishment from nutrients from increased blood flow. Both of these things are necessary for collagen production, the support fibers which keeps wrinkles and lines at bay. So, your proper exercise program can influence the rate at which your face ages which is something that no surgery type facelift, injection or treatment can do. They may tidy things up of the outside but exercise can make you more youthful from deep down at cellular level where it really counts. Exercise also has a deep down cleansing affect clearing away potentially harmful toxins which can damage the skin. Every time you perform strength training exercise you need to brace every muscle in your body as you push, lift, or pull the resistance. You cannot help but brace the muscles in your face at the same time. Just that tension gives them a workout which is like a mini face lift every time you exercise. When the tiny facial muscles are tensed in this manner they become firm and taut, lifting and pulling the skin of top of them tighter smoothing out wrinkles and saggy baggy skin.
There is not a doctor or surgeon on the planet that can offer anything this good. It is no secret that people who exercise regularly look many years younger than their inactive cousins. After all our skin is the largest organ of our body and thus the benefits can be enormous to its condition and how it looks when we give it what it needs to stay youthful looking. Aside from the youthfulness of our skin we will also reap the benefit of the added strength and toning to our overall body, we become fitter, healthier and increase our energy, vitality, endurance and stamina. Those are all things that make us 'younger' and more youthful regardless of how many candles on our birthday cake.
