The very beautiful Salma Hayek has resisted the urge to jump off the bridge – oh wait – she has resisted the urge to use Botox because she understands how paralyzing a muscle can have a detrimental effect on skin and other muscles. Very smart cookie! Let’s hear it for all the gals who resist plumping and paralyzing toxins…they do not always make you look younger but they certainly make you look done. Using facial exercise can return the look of Springtime to your face without using anything harmful or risky to your good health.

Here’s a follow up with a video of celebrities who are speaking out against plastic surgery. Cutting perfectly healthy skin in the name of beauty does not always produce the desired results and there are disappointments that cannot be remedied. Please consider using facial exercise rather than injections and surgery; it’s an easy, fast, and proven program to lift, tone and tighten your facial features.

If there is any doubt that exercise is the fountain of youth, then take a look at this remarkable story from India. Manohar Aich, former Mr Universe, has celebrated his 100th birthday. His longevity is attributed to living life from a happier state (we live in our minds, you know) without tension or stress. Yes, his diet attributed to his success and most interestingly, Aich never touched alcohol and he ate only a simple diet. There’s a lesson here!

Here’s another example of regret. Plastic surgery doesn’t always provide the results one is seeking and neither will injections that plump and paralyze. If you want a younger looking, prettier face, stick with facial exercise. It’s proven, it’s easy and best of all it works!

A few years ago while we were working at Parrot Cay, my husband started to play with my chin wattle. What started as a cutesy joke quickly turned into a fight.

Me: “Don’t play with my wattle; you’ll only make it worse!”
Hubby: “But I love everything about you, and it’s so cute!”
Me: “IT’S NOT CUTE!”

Gravity is not our friend as we age. As an exercise and fitness professional, I know that exercising muscles in our bodies keeps them toned and helps keep the skin attached to the tissue underneath, so it makes sense to me that exercising facial muscles would do the same. However, exercising the face is tough for at least two reasons: there are a lot of small specialized muscles (43, in fact) and unlike most of the body’s muscles, most facial muscles have only a single bony attachment, and some have none at all.

Everybody wants healthy foods that can melt away belly flab. The foods listed below which include some amazing veggies can be combined to create some pretty tasty entrees that actually assist your body in burning more fat around your stomach area and the rest of your body.

The Ageless Sisters would like to give a special thanks to Deb Chase for taking her time to chat with us today. Jackie and I appreciate her no-nonsense tips to anti-aging she shared with us and our listeners!

Here are Deb’s 3 no-nonsense tips to anti-aging:

1. Sun Protection – Beauty Balm (BB Cream) lightly tinted foundation with high levels of SPF that works on an array of complexions.

2. Diet – High amounts of protein, fiber, vitamin c, and linoleic acid(helps fight wrinkles)

3. Avoiding smoking and alcohol because it destroys collagen and increases inflammation

Jackie Silver, Agingbackwards.com, told me that a doc had suggested that she allow sunlight into her eyes for several minutes each day. When we walk, she insists that we leave our sunglasses in our pockets when we begin so that the sun can penetrate our being. Vitamin D is vitally important to our good health and in fact, here’s an article we just posted on the Cynthia Rowland newsletter: http://www.rejenuve.com/BB/BB.He_Tips.htm

Such sad news that one of our favorite song birds left us recently. Whitney Houston had long been one of my favorite stars and her voice was magical when she sang songs that demonstrated her range of talent.

Several articles were released after her passing suggesting that she had contemplated a surgical face lift and that her surgeon, Dr. Marc Mani refused the singers request. I understand that this young, beautiful and talented woman was denied the procedure due to medical testing for heart, liver and lung function.
