Mens Antiaging Tips

This page is specifically devoted to mens antiaging tips. Women aren't the only ones who will benefit from this website. Men are interested in looking and feeling younger too. Some of these tips are similar to information on other pages because aging affects all of us. If you are experiencing male menopause symptoms there's information on that too.

Tip #1 - Protect your skin

The sun causes the most visible signs of aging to our skin. It doesn't matter whether you are male or female. The sun's rays damage skin. Men may not be as interested in "laying out" and getting a tan as women, but men are more likely to have outside jobs.

Even if you have an inside job, playing sports, mowing the lawn and other outside activities expose your skin to the damaging rays. You should use sunscreen each time you go outside. To fully protect your face, use an antiaging moisturizer with sunscreen each morning. This will both protect your skin while repairing previous damage.

This is probably the most important mens antiaging tip I can give to protect the youthful look of your skin. The moisturizer my husband uses daily is from Arbonne International. If you decide to purchase from this link, I do get a small commission. But even if I didn't, this is still one of the best on the market. If you want to purchase locally be sure that it contains antiaging ingredients.

Tip #2 - Use Anti-aging Products

Choose an anti-aging facial wash, as well as shave gel and aftershave. This will help to reduce the fine lines and wrinkles that have developed or help keep them for appearing at all. Not sure where to purchase them? Arbonne has antiaging products for men that are botanically based without harmful ingredients.

Tip #3 - Reduce Stress

Stress can cause aging. Many men experience stress in their jobs. Be sure to spend time relaxing or working on a hobby that you enjoy. Check out other stress busting activities to keep your stress levels low.

Tip # 4 - Exercise

Yes, exercise is important to men too! Not only will exercise reduce stress, it is an important antiaging tip for men. As you age, you need less food. It's tough to start eating less so you need to exercise to burn those extra calories and keep your metabolism high. Also, men tend to gain weight around their stomachs which can cause heart problems. So men, get out there and exercise.

You should combine aerobic exercise (no, you don't have to join a class - even walking is aerobic) with strength training. Just pick up some hand weights at the store and take time to use them several days a week. You may want to get with some friends and join a gym. No matter what you choose, just get moving.

Tip #5 - Eat more vegetables

Sorry men, I don't mean potatoes. I'm talking about colorful vegetables. Green broccoli, orange carrots and sweet potatoes, red beets and tomatoes all contain antiaging nutrients. And if you have a salad, choose leafy greens like spinach or other dark greens. Iceberg lettuce is practically worthless as far as nutrients go.

Did you know that proper nutrition can help reduce hair loss? Of course, there are other causes of hair loss too.

Tip #6 - Watch the fat intake

Okay, I didn't say you were going to like these antiaging tips, but they are important. The best way to reduce your fat intake is to stay away from red meat, dairy and fried foods. GULP! I know it's not easy, but it will be better for your health. You don't need to become a vegetarian, but choose chicken, turkey or fish instead of red meat.

Are you a hunter? Although deer meat is considered a "red" meat, the meat is far lower in fat and of course, contains no antibiotics or hormones. YES! My husband hunts and the only red meat we eat is deer meat. Not a hunter? You can still buy deer, buffalo and ostrich (all acceptable "red" meats) online or at some local stores. And of course, stay away from sugar.

Tip #7 - Consider nutritional supplements

In addition to the traditional antioxidants, Vitamin A, E, C among others, men need enough Zinc and Lycopene for prostate health. Saw Palmetto is another herb that has been found to be helpful for prostate health. Be sure to choose supplements that are standardized and will dissolve and be absorbed into your system. Proper nutrition may also help men who are dealing with male menopause.
