Tips To Help You Avoid Getting Wrinkles In The First Place
by Gregg Hall Ok you men out there. It's time to have a talk. No, I'm not going to go over the birds and the bees with you, hopefully you've figured that out for yourself. We are going to have a talk about retaining our youthful good looks. Now stop groaning and listen to me. Last night, when your wife was going on and on about Hollywood's hunk du jour, you probably did what most men do and just smirk and say that real men don't look like that. Then you turned up the television so the sound of the football game would drown out her voice. So how should they look? Graying or balding with beer bellies and a can of brew permanently attached to their hands? Come on, you know you secretly want to know how those movie stars manage to look half their age and why shouldn't you? You're entitled to look that good too.
Let's start with the basics. Exfoliation does not refer to the plants in your yard. It's a process that removes the dead skin, so that the new younger skin can come through. I'm not asking you to put on your wife's oatmeal mask, although that's not such a bad idea. Believe it or not, there is a whole line of products that were designed for men to keep age from showing on the face. They have nice manly scents so that it won't offend you to try them. You just might feel even more manly and your wife may take her eyes off her Hollywood magazine and look at you for a change.
Now let's talk about antioxidants. Antioxidants battle the free radicals that are swimming through your blood stream and making you feel tired and old. They're toxins and they have to go. Luckily, you don't have to do anything arduous to get rid of them, just start taking vitamin C everyday to combat them for you. You might be surprised to learn that coffee is also full of antioxidants and is actually the leading supplier of the plant based nutrient for most people. Does that make you feel better? Well, just keep in mind that it's also a diuretic, which can cause dehydration so limit yourself to two or three cups a day.
Speaking of dehydration, the next time you're thirsty, it's for water not beer. Perhaps if you drank water, your thirst would diminish and you wouldn't be so inclined to down a six pack of brew. Alcohol will also dehydrate you and that's not a good thing, so try drinking 8 glasses of water everyday. Maybe you'll get lucky and one day someone will figure out how to make water taste like beer. I bet that would make you drink more of it. Maybe I'll try to figure out how to do that myself. I'd make a mint. Gregg Hall is an author living in Navarre Beach Florida.

Do Collagen Supplements Really Help Prevent And Treat The Effects Of Aging?
by Gregg Hall In our quest to remain younger looking, we try to eat a healthy diet and take plenty of supplements. We increase our water intake and practice deep breathing exercises to make sure that we are properly oxygenated. We avoid those harmful sun rays by slathering on plenty of sun block and donning a hat with a wide brim. We may even practice yoga or Pilates, to get the flexibility we had in our youth. So why isn't all of this working? We still look in the mirror and see our hair is thinning and lines on our faces that we swear weren't there yesterday. The reason that we have not stopped the signs of aging is because we are not really aware of what is actually needed.
The reason that the younger generation has such smooth, tight skin and glossy, full hair, is because of their natural stores of collagen. Collagen is found in the tissues that are responsible for our skin, hair and nails. As we get older, this supply diminishes with age and our skin begins to sag. We may also notice that our hair is not as full and lustrous as it once was. Many people, who suffer from joint pain, take aspirin and apply hot or cold packs, trying to alleviate the discomfort. Collagen is also responsible for strong joints, which is why we may suddenly develop aches in our joints as time goes by.
Some people turn to collagen injections that are injected into facial tissues to smooth wrinkles. This is only a temporary fix and you can be assured that future injections will be required in order to obtain the look of youth.
Another way to replace lost collagen is by taking supplements that contain them. This is a way to treat the collagen loss from the inside out. Topical collagen will be temporary at best, but when taken orally, the effects will be much longer lasting.
There are plenty of supplements to be found in various health food stores. There are two types of collagen available, Type I and Type II. These types of collagen are the ones that are in our hair, nails, skin, muscles, bones, eyes, teeth and tendons. They are also responsible for strong cartilage support. By taking these types of oral collagen supplements, we can replenish that which is naturally lost with age.
Keep in mind that there is no such thing as the fountain of youth. You still have to maintain a healthy lifestyle and good nutritional habits, in order to look and feel healthy and youthful. By taking oral supplements, you can add even more benefits to your already healthy regimen. It certainly is less painful than getting injections and will last a lot longer as well.
