What's good for your heart is good for your looks We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again. Regular exercise is a must if you want to look younger, live longer, and feel healthier.

If you find yourself getting into a bad habit when it comes to exercise and smoking, remember that moderation is key! As far as foods go, they say an apple a day keeps the doctor away—and there’s no reason why that adage shouldn't apply to your looks too. Studies have shown apples contain phenolic compounds which help slow down aging by preventing collagen breakdown. Apples are also rich in vitamin C which helps keep skin hydrated and plump. And since apples are full of fiber, they won't leave you feeling bloated after eating them like other high-carb snacks might do. Just don't go overboard—remember moderation is key!
