There are many stereotypes based on seniors, such as the short-sighted, stooped, little, elderly man or the little, old, hard-of-hearing lady. These days, however, many people are smarter, more informed and more proactive about how they approach aging and living more thrilling, full lives. Here are some great tips to start having fun with life as you get older.
Frowning creates far more wrinkles than smiling. It seems silly, but it is true. Give yourself a pinch when you feel a frown coming on. Over time, you should be able to break this unattractive habit.

Resveratrol will aid in aging gracefully. It has been shown through numerous studies that reducing the amount of calories your body takes in will fight the effects of aging.

This extract is used often in supplements. It can also be found in the roots of Senna quinquangulata, a South American shrub.
Do not let your mind focus on numbers. You pay doctors good money to worry about things like your age, height and weight. If you worry about your age, weight, and if you are getting shorter, you will ruin your chance of experiencing aspects of you life that bring out your younger self.
Make sure you are sleeping the number of hours you need. In order to stay healthy you should strive to sleep at least seven hours every night. The less you sleep, the more irritable you will be in the morning.
It can be a time for you to truly enjoy life more than ever before. If you follow these guidelines and take control of your body and your lifestyle, you can ensure that your golden years are the time of your life.
