Too much exercise and the wrong FOOD can AGE YOU

Trying to stay healthy and maintain a good weight is ideal for anyone, however when we exercise too much the body's cells don't have enough time to RECOVER and REGENERATE.  They start breaking down.  The same is true for not having the right kind of nutrients in your body.  Without the right amount of vitamins, minerals, and good fats,...the builiding blocks that are needed for the cells to recover are missing.  The collagen in your skin starts breaking down and you get the sagging wrinkly look that we all dread. At around age 35 the cell recovery process starts slowing down significantly, that is why it is so important to WATCH what you EAT.

What is recommended to do to help your skin and your well-being

1) Sleeping plays a very crucial role.  No sleep no time for the cells to rebuild themselves with the right nutrients.

2)Yoga and strength training are recommended for stress relief that keeps at bay "bad" hormones that increase in your body with high stress levels.  These hormones break down the collagen in your cells as well.  Also yoga helps in increase oxygen flow to all parts of the body. The more oxygen flow the more cellular respiration which converts nutrients into energy use for the YOU.
