We all want to look and feel our best as we age. The truth is, there’s no quick fix or “magic cream” that can do what consistent daily habits will. By nourishing your body from the inside out, you can protect your skin, muscles, and overall health—helping you look youthful without ever needing a facelift.
Nourish Your Cells with Nutrition
Your skin is the largest organ in your body, and it needs fuel to stay strong. The most important nutrient? Protein.
-
Protein is the building block of every cell. Without it, your skin slows down new cell production, muscles weaken, and circulation suffers.
-
Aim to get all your essential amino acids daily by eating a variety of protein sources.
In addition, focus on:
-
Healthy fats: Avocados, olives, coconut cream, goat, sheep, or A2 dairy products.
-
Leafy greens & root vegetables: Beets, carrots, garlic, sweet potatoes, and turnip greens are loaded with vitamins and minerals.
-
Fruits: Eat them whole (not blended) to get the full medicinal benefit of their fiber and nutrients.
-
Alkaline foods: Balance your plate to reduce acidity and inflammation.
-
Hydration: Drink 75–100 ounces of water daily and add 8–16 oz of aloe vera juice on an empty stomach.
Skincare Essentials
What you put on your skin matters just as much as what you eat. Choose products that are as close to nature as possible.
-
Use zinc or titanium dioxide daily in your sunscreen.
-
Skip Botox and fillers, which only mask aging rather than preventing it.
-
Remember—plants and fruits naturally contain everything your cells need to stay vibrant.
Lifestyle Choices That Keep You Youthful
-
Sleep well: Rest in a cool room with a humidifier. Quality sleep is where your skin repairs and restores.
-
Avoid alcohol: It depletes vitamins, minerals, and hydration.
-
Cut back on coffee: It dehydrates and increases acidity. Try matcha or black tea instead.
-
Supplements: Add key wellness supplements to support anti-aging (choose ones that target skin, digestion, and stress balance). Find Geri's favorites here.
Eating for Better Sleep
Good digestion leads to glowing skin and deeper rest.
-
Get fiber daily to keep your digestion flowing and your colon healthy.
-
Stop eating by 6 p.m. so your body has time to fully digest before bed.
-
Balance acidic foods like protein with alkaline vegetables.
Exercise and Aging
Not all exercise is created equal. Overdoing it can actually speed up aging:
-
High-intensity workouts raise cortisol, which blocks fat burn and increases hunger.
-
Instead, choose balanced movement—walking, yoga, pilates, or low-impact strength training.
Aging gracefully isn’t about quick fixes—it’s about consistency. Nourish your body with whole foods, hydrate deeply, rest well, and choose natural products for your skin. By taking these steps daily, you’ll protect your skin, support your health, and maintain a youthful glow—no facelift required.
