How to Look 10 Years Younger When You're Over 40

Nothing makes a person's self-esteem go through the roof like when they are told that they look younger than their actual age. This is particularly true for those who are already age 40 and over. Of course, some people naturally look younger, but a majority of people look younger due to a healthy lifestyle.

I have seen it in action myself. I have a family member in his mid-fifties who looks like he's in his mid-forties because he has discovered the power of eating right and strength training. He has been combining the two for years and it has paid off. Being at your ideal weight and having some muscular definition can do wonders for your appearance.

People will begin to take notice and they will ask you what your secret is and how they can do it too.

The key to stripping years off of your appearance is activity and healthy life choices. This means no smoking, minimal to no drinking (alcohol), and making wiser food choices 90% of the time. Physical activity can include anything that you enjoy doing from walking to bodybuilding.

While this all sounds simple enough, most people cannot do it on their own. Everyone needs guidance and a place to start. This is especially true for individuals who are age 40 and over because there are also mental hurdles to get over such as feeling "too old" to take charge of their health.

I found a great guide made for people over 40 that specializes in turning back the clock through weight loss and fitness.
