By Sherley Harle Pannenbacker


The average life expectancy for a person in today's modern age is 78.7 years. This was an unheard of number even a few decades ago, and this number is expected to increase by another few years in only a few more short decades. Since we're living longer, we're dealing with aging in ways we never have before. Read up on these tips dealing with aging.

Smoothies are a great and delicious way to get more nutrients as we age! You can combine literally anything to create a tasty treat that delivers valuable vitamins and minerals to your system. Add fruits, vegetables, flax seeds and yogurt or ice-cream to mix a potent potion you can enjoy any time of the day!

Get rid of all of your grouchy friends and keep only the cheerful and positive ones. Studies have shown that laughing and smiling will reduce wrinkles and keep you looking younger. So you want to spend your time with friends that will make you smile and laugh, not ones that make you frown!

Some people may have gray hair early on yet most people experience getting grey hair as they age. Some people prefer to just go grey and others wish to cover up grey hair. If you are not sure about permanent hair colors there are products that are temporary and you can try those out first before committing to a permanent coloring product.

When you wake up in the morning, find the newspaper and pull out the daily crossword puzzle. Keeping your mind active and sharp can improve your brain activity, which will combat the signs of aging mentally. Also, you will be able to stay alert and participate in conversations with friends and family.

All women over 65 should be tested for bone density since this is the only way to diagnose osteoporosis. Some doctors recommend baseline bone density scans at menopause and at regular intervals after. Predicting fracture risk and determining rate of bone loss can help in the monitoring and prevention of osteoporosis.

Aging can give you a few things to think about, but you don't have to be blind to the real strategies to making age work for you. As you get older and experience the effects of aging, start putting tips like these to work for your better well-being and active future.
