|
We all know what can happen as we get older: memory loss, aching bones, low libido, heart problems . . . But the real culprits aren't the problems per se; the biological mechanisms that cause them in the first place are. We call them Major Agers. And in our new book, YOU: Staying Young, we explain how they work and how you can slow them down before they slow you down. Here's an at-a-glance guide to life's 14 Major Agers.

RealAge Tip of the DAY for November 15, 2007
A Boon to Your Looks
Two long-touted sight savers could help your skin maintain that snap-back elastic quality of your youth. Know what they are?
Lutein and zeaxanthin -- two carotenoids found in abundance in leafy greens, broccoli, zucchini, and other yellow-green veggies. So dive into that spinach salad for your vision and your visage.
Carotenoid Combo
Your skin naturally produces lutein and zeaxanthin -- but getting a little extra from your diet couldn't hurt, right? Especially given the fact that when women in a study took both carotenoids as supplements, their skin reaped youthful rewards like better hydration, improved elasticity, and increased protection against harmful ultraviolet rays. The effect was even greater when the women also used lotions with the nutrients. (Are you using the right lotion for your skin type? Check here.)
Eye on the Prize
More research is needed to confirm the role lutein and zeaxanthin play in skin health. But the fact remains that a diet high in lutein- and zeaxanthin-rich foods can help protect your peepers. Read how the combo helps thwart cataracts.
Did You Know? You'll get more lutein and zeaxanthin out of your salads if you do this to them.
