Successful aging can be achieved by anyone and you don't need expensive drugs or surgery to achieve it. Here are 5 anti aging tips to help you look younger and feel younger quickly and naturally so you can remain ageless.

There is a widely held belief that you need to drink around 8 glasses of water every day to remain young. This simply isn't true, humans didn't evolve by drinking this amount of water and if you eat a healthy diet, you will obtain most of the water you need from foods. A couple of glasses of fresh water combined with a diet high in fresh fruits and vegetables and the other drinks you consume - tea, juices, milk etc. - will be sufficient to meet your body's needs.

Break out of routines. When it comes to aging, routine is a big, big sinner. Remaining in routines makes life dull and predictable and in not exposing yourself to new challenges, you will age prematurely. New experiences keep us fresh and vibrant as we're actively engaged in the process of enjoying life. Break out of dull routines and keep living life to the full by visiting somewhere you've never been before at least once a week. Here's some examples to stimulate your own ideas: A city, town or village, a museum, a theater, a restaurant, café, or bar, a park, a zoo, a wood or forest - can you think of some more? Visiting new places broadens your horizons and helps to keep life fresh and interesting and it helps to keep you young by breaking away from dull routines.

Many people treat their cars, their pets, their homes much better than they treat their own bodies! As you get older, it is important to make sure your body stays in tip-top condition for as long as possible. Have regular medical check-ups, especially screening for cancers - breast cancer for women and testicular cancer for men - as if there is a problem, the earlier it is found the easier it is to treat. If you don't feel right, don't put off visits to the doctor, go for a check up, that's what they're there for. Eye tests are another good idea. All of these should be a part of your anti aging strategy.

The past can be a very cruel place to live so try to live in the only place you have: the present. As you get older, the urge to continually go over past memories and experiences may be overwhelming. Brooding over events that have long gone is a real problem because it's impossible to live in the past. It doesn't exist anywhere other than your mind. Continually brooding over the past can cause you a lot of anguish and heartache, neither of which will help you stay young. Try to live in the only place you can, the here and now by focusing on the things you want to do with your life. This needs to be ongoing because you will reap what you continually sow.

Reducing the amount of free radicals you consume is vital to your anti aging strategy. Smoking is certainly an absolute no-no. If you smoke, you will sabotage all of your other anti aging efforts. Smoking will age you significantly and shave years off your life span. And smelling like an ash-tray does nothing for a youthful appearance! Excessive alcohol intake is another sinner. Try not to go over the recommended guidelines, and if you enjoy a drink, why not do what the French and the Italians do and enjoy a couple of glasses of red wine with a meal?

That's 5 great natural ways that'll help you remain ageless and I urge you to give them all a try. You'll soon notice a younger, happier you!
