All you need to do is to regulate your eating habits. Your diet should include, citrus fruits like lemon, orange etc and loads of berries. Eat only the egg white, green leafy vegetables, peppers, fish and drink loads of water. Apply lemon and olive oil to your skin for moisturising. The more you moisturise your skin, the more you keep wrinkles at bay.

For this sake you need to go for morning walk everyday, eat small meals to increase metabolism, eat protein rich food for muscle creation, do some muscle stretching exercises to prevent muscles from sagging, but be careful that before exercising you have done enough warm up. Walk for 5 minutes and drink warm water after every meal. Exercise and proper diet will keep you strong and thus, keep you young.
