Sleep is essential to restoring the body, being healthy, and feeling good. I have an anti-aging e-book full of great tips to improve the quality of your sleep. When we let our bodies rest and recover correctly, they are able to repair and restore different areas more rapidly. Sleep impacts everything from your digestion to your mood, so it's beyond important to be getting enough (and good quality) sleep every single night. If you notice that your sleep is a little less amazing than it should be, check out my post on hacking your sleep. My personal favorite sleep hacks include using a sleep mask to block out the light and a sound machine to drown out any noise that might disturb my beauty rest. They both work like a charm so I wake up refreshed and ready to take on the day.
I hate to break this to you if you haven't already heard, but stress is one of the greatest factors that age you prematurely. Aside from stress feeling terrible, it has major negative impacts on your physical and mental health beyond just in the moment. Stress has long term consequences for your physical health and can even cause things like anxiety and depression to develop. Did you know that MOST primary care doctor visits end up being from a stress-related illness?!Reducing your stress helps you feel younger and prevents aging from taking a toll on your body. Need some new ways to reduce stress? Consider giving meditation a try, where you focus on your breathing and release negative energy by concentrating on relaxation.

Obviously, the foods we consume are a huge motivator in our overall health and wellness. Your diet determines how you feel. Cutting out processed foods, and adding in fresh fruits, veggies, and even superfoods rich in antioxidants can make a huge difference in how you feel.Cutting out (or cutting back on) sugar and caffeine reduce the effects of aging. Sugar and caffeine both age and dehydrate you, so make sure that if you have them, you're aware of how often and how much you're having!Beyond what you're eating, staying hydrated keeps you feeling younger! Make sure to drink enough clean water every day—it nourishes you from the inside out, keeps your skin moisturized, and makes sure that your digestive system is running smoothly.

I am 135lbs, so I aim for around 68oz of water daily, so eight or more cups!Now that you know a few easy holistic strategies for how to stay younger, you can start feeling and looking your best.
