Valerie Ramsey shares 10 Tips for aging gracefully.

(as seen in SPRY Magazine)

1)  Have a curious mind and be inquisitive - aging has so much to do with our spiritual and intellectual beings as it does with our physical bodies.

2)  Love yourself enough to take care of yourself.  This means take time for exercise.  Walking, Yoga, Pilates and weight training are all excellent.

3)  To look healthy on the outside, you have to be healthy on the inside.  Eating right and getting a good night's sleep is paramount.

4)  Eat diet's rich in fruit, vegetables, and anti-inflammatory Omega-3 fats found in foods such as Salmon, flaxseed and walnuts.

5)  Eliminate negative thought patterns and reduce stress.  If you don't meditate, I highly recommend it!

6)  Follow a plan to maintain healthy skin.  I believe in exfoliating two or three times per week, to slough off dead skin cells and keep your complexion glowing.

7)  Keep sexually alive!

8)  Healthy hair that is properly cut and colored can take years off of your appearance and make you feel better all over.

9)  Dress appropriately for your body type and age.  Choose clothes that flatter your figure, and make good use of your local tailor to get the proper fit.

10) Keep on moving forward with your life. find your "what's next?"  Do what it takes to pursue it!
