Strategies To Staying Young
We grow old. Every year, we add another year to our age. That is inevitable. That is natural.But who says you have to also look the part? You can actually be in your 40s and look someone half your age. And not because of constant facelifts and botox treatments. You can achieve youthfulness without burning your pocketbook.
Enjoy.
Have fun with your life. Never miss out on anything. As they say, all work and no play makes for a dull person… and a dull skin as well. If you want to stay young, be like a child and enjoy the simple things in life. Rejoice in the flowers in your garden. Dance with the music of the winds. Laugh with no one and with everyone. Hey, you have a right to celebrate. You are alive!
Be positive.
Worries in your life will only deepen those wrinkles on your face and then after having those wrinkles in place, you will eventually realize that you had nothing to worry about in the first place. Always be positive in your thinking. Instead of fidgeting and worrying over little things, why not be proactive and find solutions to your problems? That way, you can cut short your worry session by half.
Be adventurous
Leave the hum-drum existence and try something new for a change. Although routine is the foundation of our organized existence, sometimes a little spice can make life more exciting and more worthwhile.
Be active
Exercise not only make us fit in those skinny jeans that we are dying to wear, it cleanses our body of toxins and refreshes our system. Being active also builds the muscles and keeps our bodies strong. That way, we are in control of ourselves and our actions. And what better way of feeling young than being able to swim, surf, and do any sports that we want.
Laugh
Laughing constantly refreshes the soul and what's more it prevents the appearance of wrinkles. Laughter also lights up the eyes, making us appear younger. Get a little joke book. Hang out with people who laugh all the time. Play with little kids. Or just laugh!

The New Vegetarian
Sproutarian
Vegetarianism and raw food enthusiasts fall into many different groups with different theories of what kind of natural foods are best. Most vegetarians eat fruits, vegetables, nuts and grains. Vegans eat no animal by-products at all, including dairy or eggs. Fruitarians eat primarily fruits. And some vegetarians eat only sprouts.
Sprouts are very nutritious because they contain all the elements a plant needs for life and growth. The endosperm of seed is the storehouse of carbohydrates, protein and oil. When the seed germinates, these become predigested amino acids and natural sugars upon which the plant embryo feeds to grow. This life force we eat is filled with energy which is capable of generating cells of the body and supplying us with new vigor and life. For this reason sprouts can retard the ageing process.
Sprouts contain goodly amounts of male and female hormones, as well, in their most easily assimilated form. Research shows that sprouts are among the highest food in vitamins. They are not only a low cost food but are also tasty and easy to grow. Children and the elderly can make sprouting a profitable hobby. All of us can profit from the boost to health they provide.
Almost any seed, grain or legume can be sprouted though some are tastier than others. You may try mung beans, alfalfa, wheat, peas, fenugreek, chickpeas, radish, fennel, celery seed, etc. These are most readily found in natural food stores. Remember to soak small seeds only for 4 hours and beans for 15 hours. You also can mix these seeds. Get a 2 liter wide-mouth jar and a piece of cheesecloth or old nylon stocking to fasten as a cover with a rubber band. Put seed into the jar as follows:
2 Tsps alfalfa, 2 Tsps radish or fenugreek, 1/4 cup lentils, 1/2 cup mung beans. Soak these seeds for 15 hours and drain the water. Afterwards rinse and drain well twice daily for about 3-5 days. If you wish to make larger amounts of sprouts, so you may share with others, place 2 cups of mixed seed into a large porcelain pot, in the bottom of which holes have been drilled for easy rinsing. Simply place underneath the faucet and rinse morning and evening with warm water. Cover with a plate. The seeds grow beautifully and abundantly in a few days.
