from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit

Anti-aging is the delaying or lessening the effects of aging, especially on the skin: Research on anti-aging has made leaps and bounds. Even if we didn’t find the holy grail that would stop aging from taking its natural course, we have most clearly determined the practices that help us and those that hurt us, which are excellent factors of preventing something we are all trying to avoid at all costs, to which we cannot control. Lets evaluate a brief summary of what anti-aging research has for us so far.

Steps

1. Have a Balanced Diet. What is most likely the greatest factor in our favor to maintain our youth and overall health is the “Eat A Balanced Diet And Participate In Regular Exercise”. Of course eating fruits and vegetables and even white meats along with eight glasses of water each day will take us a long, long way, especially over years. You don’t really need overly strict diets, unless of course you have some kind of a special condition and your physician directs you to be on one. Moderation is a good rule to follow – you can usually eat anything you like, with common sense in mind.
2. Take supplements, but don't overdo it. Over time research on anti-aging has revealed that with our bodies lose some immune system power and their fast metabolisms. We must do everything in our power to assist our bodies such as ingesting supplements like antioxidants that combat free radicals. Many forms of research show that when vitamins are included in our diet our metabolism and immune systems are improved.
3. Consider improving your physical fitness. For some reason some people like to trick themselves and look away from diets in order to lose weight. They claim they’re happy with the way they are and state they feel healthy with no room for change. Others feel happy with who they are as well, but desire to increase their happiness therefore they look at anti-aging and food seriously.
4. Not every food can assist you with the anti-aging process. The calories in many fast food meals contain empty calories, which simply means they are deficient in necessary vitamins and minerals needed to slow aging.
5. Eat properly. Considering all of this it is clear you should eat those foods that will benefit your body and mind. Some excellent choices include raw nuts, barley greens, seeds, and olive oil. Similar foods can help slow the process of aging. When considering the cell replication process when one cell dies and another grows and takes its place food and anti-aging really go hand in hand with this process.
