6 ways to grow younger!
 
How Healthy Are Your Daily Habits?
What do wearing a seatbelt, flossing every day, and taking a multivitamin have in common? They all can make your RealAge younger! In fact, by making just a few tiny adjustments such as these to your everyday activities, you can feel better, look better, and actually grow younger physiologically. Not sure what your physiological age is? Take the RealAge test and get your updated age today.

So, think your day is too full to include more healthy habits? Consider some of these little ways you can improve your health without completely reworking your daily schedule.

6 Fast Ways to Grow Younger

1. Click It. It takes just a few seconds to snap that seatbelt buckle into place when you get in a car. And your RealAge could be 3.4 years younger if you do it regularly.

2. Pop It. By taking just a few moments each day to pop a multivitamin into your mouth, you could be as much as 6 years younger! What should your multivitamin contain? Find out how much you need of the major nutrients here.

3. Thread It. Slipping floss through your pearly whites takes just a few minutes a day. But good oral care -- which includes brushing and flossing daily; getting regular dental checkups; and choosing foods and beverages that help keep teeth healthy -- can make you up to 6.4 years younger! How healthy are your teeth? Make an appointment with your dentist soon if you haven't had a cleaning and checkup in the past year.

4. Read It. Read the news over breakfast or coffee. Keeping your mind active and engaged helps your brain form new synapses, so your mind stays young. Learn something new every day by reading news, magazines, or books on topics outside your normal area of expertise. Catch the latest health headlines right now.

5. Crunch It. By grabbing fiber-filled fruits, veggies, and whole-grains for your afternoon or evening snacks, you'll be well on your way to getting an age-reducing 25 grams of fiber per day. Good choices include apples, whole-wheat crackers (grab the trans fat-free kind), strawberries, broccoli spears, and green beans. For a treat, dip your raw veggies into hummus and your crackers or apples into peanut butter for a shot of heart-healthy unsaturated fats. Get quick and easy snack recipes here.

6. Tell It. A funny joke, that is. People who laugh often have lower stress levels and stronger immune systems. All of which can make your RealAge as much as 8 years younger. Don't know any jokes? Watch funny movies or TV shows, spend a few minutes each day chatting with people who make you giggle, and above all -- learn to laugh at yourself! Read more tips on laughter and good health.
