What does Anti-Aging Mean... Exactly?
By:Don Pasco
What does anti-aging mean exactly? I know that "anti" means against or opposed to something, right?
So I suppose anti-aging would mean against or opposed to aging. Well, I don’t think I’m “against or opposed” to aging. Just out of curiosity I looked up anti-aging in the dictionary and here is the formal definition I found: Delaying or lessening the effects of aging, especially on the skin: an anti-aging cream.
Well, I don’t know about the “anti-aging cream” part, but the first part does seem much more accurate and palatable. I wouldn’t want to think that I am opposed to aging. I don’t think that would be a very healthy attitude. But… if I were to hear of anything to “reverse aging”, I must admit… I’d be all ears. LOL (laugh out loud)
I suppose most of us over the age of 40 are interested in delaying or lessening the effects of aging. It’s perfectly natural to want to look and feel our best. Whether we use anti-aging creams, as suggested in our formal definition, or any other anti-aging solution to accomplish that end, it just shows that we care about our appearance, and to me, that is a healthy attitude!
Beside the anti-aging creams we’ve already mentioned, there are many other anti-aging products on the market today. In researching this article here are some of the related keywords that I found:
anti-aging supplements (sometimes referred to as anti-aging vitamins), which I surmise is also related to anti-aging nutrition;
anti-aging human growth hormone;
(sometimes referred to as HGH or anti-aging hgh),
anti aging medicine;
anti aging research;
anti aging balm lip mask;
anti aging skin care treatment;
anti aging cosmetic;
anti aging wrinkle cream;
anti aging facial cream;
So from this short list it is obvious that anti aging skin care or facial products are dominating the market for anti aging products. It’s also obvious that our faces are places that can make us or break us when it comes to looking good for our age…
or not so good for our age.
However, there are other factors that can contribute greatly to an anti-aging program. For example, the discoloration of our teeth can make us look much older. Why not purchase some Crest Whitestrips? I did, and they worked great! Also, how about an anti-aging exercise routine to keep our weight where it belongs? I once heard someone say something like, after the age of 40, for every 5 pounds that we are overweight, it adds a year to our appearance. So if you were 25 lbs. overweight at the age of 41… you’d appear to be about 46! Oouch!
We all have the ability to look and feel younger. Spend a little time thinking of an anti-aging plan that suits you and remember the things that make us look older and younger… our weight, our skin, our teeth, our hair and there are plenty of anti-aging products or services for each.
Sometimes a new hairstyle can work wonders! (Guys, this one most likely applies more to women)
Don't even think about a comb over. LOL (laugh out loud)
