The Keys to Staying Young



by KYW's medical editor Dr. Brian McDonough

Do you want to stay young?  If you want to stay young, you don’t have to use special facial creams or start the latest fad diet. Believe it or not you just need to use common sense and care for yourself.  The most important step is eating a balanced diet. Plenty of fruits and vegetables and trying to cut back on sugar and pre-processed foods.
 
The other concept to get down is that you don’t have to be perfect. You can have a piece of cake or pie or stop at a fast food restaurant every now and then. Just limit the high risk exposure.
 
The other major step is exercise. Once again you don’t need to be an Olympic athlete, just get out there and participate and make it fun. If you have fun you will continue to play and that is the key.  The best way to achieve success, whether diet or exercise, is to design a reasonable plan and stick to it.  If you do this you will stay younger both physically and mentally.
