Absolutely! I felt and looked about ten years younger after the 15-day juice fast I did last year. People tell me all the time that I don't look my age. I know that all of my juice fasts and my healthy gluten-free, grain-free, high-raw diet has a lot to do with it. I also don't drink alcohol, smoke cigarettes or drink coffee. I have 1-2 cups of green tea per day. My diet is all fresh organic foods and salads.
Exercising regularly is important as well. But you know what I feel the most important thing is? Feeling young. Just feeling and acting young. I'm in my thirties and I dress and act like a 19-year-old. Not when it comes to adult responsibilities and maturity of course, I just mean that I laugh a lot and continue to enjoy the music and activities that I did in my youth. I don't think of myself as old and my body looks better now than it did when I was actually that age. I just feel young. I have the young mindset.
I see so many people who are the opposite. There is a 33-year-old woman who works with my boyfriend who always talks about how old she is, how it sucks getting old, etc. I'm like, are you kidding me? 33 is NOT old! I don't think 43 or 53 are "old" either. Not even close. People can live to be over a hundred, so feeling old at 33 is either a sign of something being majorly wrong in the body due to diet, lifestyle or a health problem, or, it's a sign of holding a negative mindset and letting insecurity get the better of you. I've seen women in their 60s and beyond who laugh a lot and are fun, and take care of their bodies, and are just as pretty and sexy as girls in their teens or twenties. And of course, I've also seen 25-year-olds who looked about 60 due to a stressful life, unhealthy diet and negative mindset.
Take care of your body, but just remember that without the right attitude, all is lost.
