Just a few short years ago I never even considered having to worry about aging. Even in my late 30’s, I still looked like I was in my early 20’s. No one could ever guess my age, and people were quite literally shocked when I would tell them my real age. Now, at 42, things have changed quite a bit. Just in the last two years, I’ve started a nice collection of grey hair, although I keep it buried very well under lots of hair dye. I also started getting wrinkles around my eyes. Unfortunately, there hasn’t been anything so far that I have found to hide those! After reading this book, Don’t Look Old: 23 Things You Are Doing That Are Making You Look Older Than You Really Are (And How to Stop Doing Them) by Raven Hedrich, I can now see why I am starting to look my age, and sometimes even older! Over the last couple of years, I have had an enormous amount of stress in my life which I have been trying to get past. Just two years ago, I not only organized a 5K Run, but I also ran in it. Unfortunately, due to some not so wonderful choices in my life a couple of years ago, I stopped exercising and definitely stopped eating right. I have now ballooned up with weight and have started looking quite older than I ever thought I would. When I was younger, my parents did Yoga, so over the years I always associated Yoga with a “hippy” trend and never realized the true benefits of doing it. This book shed a lot of light on Yoga, as well as many other exercise programs that I have never really thought about, yet now knowing the benefits to them, I am definitely going to try them. Specifically, I am going to start Yoga and go from there. I’m also going to be revamping my diet to go along with the suggestions listed in the book. Hopefully with some well thought out diet planning and exercise I can start to be on my way to slowing down the looks of aging and begin to feel more like myself again. This book was exceptionally well written and offers a vast amount of great advice. I’m going to be sharing it with every woman that I know, and some men as well! I know plenty of people who will definitely appreciate reading this as much as I have!
