Is nutrition or vaccination your choice of prevention this flu season?

It happens to the best of us, if we’re lucky. The aging process is a sign of a long life, and some changes are inevitable. But if we take proper care of our bodies, and combine that with some luxurious spa treatments, we can stay healthy and strong well into our 50’s and beyond, and all without surgery! Enjoy these natural health and beauty tips for women over 50!

Don’t smoke

You’ve heard this one before, I know, but it’s true! Not smoking makes a huge difference in your health and beauty! Smoking causes your body to age much more rapidly than natural. It can lead to bags under your eyes, poor sleeping habits, psoriasis, stained teeth, wrinkles and tobacco stains, thinned hair, and a damaged pigment, among others. Nasty stuff! And it can all be avoided by just not smoking! If you smoke and need help quitting, check out this article from the Canadian Lung Association.

Eat Right and Stay Hydrated!

Your diet is one of the most important elements of retaining your youthful appearance. Foods that keep your skin healthy include avocados, blueberries, almonds, tomatoes, kale, garlic, alfalfa sprouts, beets, eggs, sweet potato, acai berry, and oily fish like mackerel or anchovies. Incorporating these into your diet will help your skin get the nutrients it needs to stay happy, healthy, and radiant! Of course, this all depends on your skin type. And drinking lots of water keeps your skin from becoming dehydrated, and dehydration is one of the leading causes of aging skin!

Get a Haircut that Suits You!

You’re not 21 anymore, so the hairstyle you had back then won’t cut it anymore. But that doesn’t mean you can’t still look great! LifeCell has a great article on how to choose a hairstyle for women over 50. And if you need help, contact Jiva Spa Toronto to speak with one of our hair stylists and discover the look that will suit your face shape and your age!
