< < < Caring For Aging Parents
Whether we idolize them or criticize their behavior, theres no denying that celebrities now are the epitome of beauty. But how come they are often mistaken for their age- at their flattery at that. Well, lets find out some secrets why celebrities look younger than they are.
Eating lots of citrus and vegetables
Greens and citrus like lemons, grapefruit, and oranges are high in Vitamin C, a natural antioxidant. This wonder worker serves as a primary ingredient of collagen, a glue-like protein that binds cells together to form tissues, and makes up about 25% of the whole-body protein content. Collagen production is vital to skin suppleness, firmness and averts the onset of premature wrinkling. Collagen is, in fact, a much-endorsed ingredient in facial moisturizers and hand lotions Therefore, the more citrus and veggies celebs eat, the softer their skin becomes.
Avoiding excessive alcohol
Celebrities going in and out of rehabs due to alcoholism look worn-out and spoiled. That is why a lot more celebrities keep their alcoholic intake to a minimum. Despite the sparkling delight it brings, alcohol causes skin damage and loss of moisture due to its dehydrating effects. In turn, this will cause sagging and wrinkling of skin.
A High School Musical star says its even better to soak ones self o he beach without sun protection that drinking too much of alcohol.
Alcohol causes dilatation of the blood vessels in the skin and every time you drink, the blood vessels will dilate and stay permanently dilated until they lose their tone. Abusing alcohol will also deplete the body of Vitamin A, an important antioxidant.
Avoiding Coffee
Despite its antioxidant content, too much coffee causes skin dehydration, and even causes the body to eliminate needed liquids and minerals. It causes skin to look like crepe paper and have very little elasticity if you pinch it up into a peak. A country music diva even shared that drinking too much coffee stains her teeth and causes little winkles around her eyes to look horrible.
Celebrities who drink coffee suggest drinking a cool glass of water after a cup of coffee.
Drinking LOTS of Water
No one can dispute the role good hydration plays to a healthier skin. If hydration does not come from sodas or alcohols and only from clean water, then it has potentially helpful effects on your skin. Furthermore, water helps cells move nutrients in and toxins out, which leaves skin looking better.
Paris Hilton disclosed that she drinks more than ten glasses of water a day cause if not she notices her skin to look dull, vapid, and gray.
Limited exposure to sunlight
More exposure to sunlight puts the skin at higher risk for aging caused by free radicals. But if you cannot avoid it, use a quality high sun protection factor lotion.

BONUS : Changes in Sleep Patterns as We Age
Because a lack of sleep makes us feel de-energized and totally worthless, we assume that sleep is only needed for invigorating our body and re-booting our brain. And even though we have a pretty good idea of what sleep is for, we don't really know why it's a basic human need, scientifically speaking.
Sleep is not only for re-energizing. Sleep induces our mind into a relaxation mode, which is imperative to allowing the organs to function unequivocally and undisturbed. Sleep is also the time for our bodies to focus its energy on cell regeneration and repair.
While we sleep, so do our organs. The energy provided to our organs while we sleep is only a fraction of what we get during the day. The body minimizes energy use so that you can get your rest, and applies the utilized energy into tissue reconstruction, free radical neutralization, and other bodily functions. As we sleep, we undo the physical effects that stress has on our systems.
As babies, we sleep for most of the day. As we reach the toddler stage, our sleep is reduced to about half of the day or less. As teenagers, the average sleep time is nine hours. It is then seven hours at adulthood, six hours past the age of 50, and five hours after 65.
As we get older, not only is our sleep time reduced, so is the quality of our sleep. With age comes come responsibility - a major factor in our ability to sleep soundly throughout the night. As neuron function becomes diminished with age, so does the ability of our brain to communicate with the body.
Because of this, telling your body to go to sleep takes longer as you get older, a change associated with the reduction of neurotransmitters in neuron synapses in the nervous system.
An average of 40,000 nerves die every day. They don't regenerate, so every year that we get older we lose 14,600,000 nerves - a significant reduction after say 60 years of life, don't you think?
