English: 20 Easy Ways to Look a Decade Younger

 

Here is the translation:

Here are 20 very simple ways to look younger when you’re in your forties.

Barack Obama looked fresh in 2008. Then imagine his face looking more grayish in 2016. Guess what? That’s what stress, frequent air travel and politics can do to your dynamism. Now, maybe you are not a president but you are still a busy guy with real stress and responsibility.

How can you be sure to feel, act and look like the leader you know you are? How can you refine your image so that you can showcase what matters most: your intellect and experience? What can you do to turn back time in the days leading up to a major confrontation with corporations? Here are 20 ways to make your face appear younger.

 

1. Dormez avec un oreiller supplémentaire.

Translation in English:

When you sleep, gravity accumulates fluids around the lower eyelids where the skin is soft and elastic causing dark circles under your eyes. To avoid dark circles, put an extra pillow under your head. This will encourage gravity to drain the eye contour. Chilled spoons work too. They fit perfectly on your eyes and the metal stays cold just long enough to be effective, about 10 minutes.

 

2. Faites un acte marquant.

To leave an impression of strength, youth and vitality, be more animated. This will make you appear as commanding, credible, authoritative and confident. Practice in front of a friend or a mirror, taking into account these tips:

– Project your voice. A booming voice sounds younger than a whisper. Imagine you are talking directly to the person at the back of the room.

– Speak slowly. People who talk too much seem anxious. Gather your words at about 130 per minute.

– Stand up straight. The way you behave sets the tone for people’s reaction. A slouched posture will make you look old before your time. In Voice Power, Using Your Voice to Captivate, Persuade and Command Attention, Grant-Williams recommends « the power position », which exudes power and control: stand up straight with your weight on the balls of your feet; keep your shoulders down; arch your back slightly; tuck in your chin; look down.

 

3. Courez et nourrissez votre cerveau.

Here is the requested translation in English:
Physical activity can make people more mentally alert. Even a single bout of aerobic exercise floods the body with endorphins that improve clarity of thought. Go for a run before you leave.

 

 

4. Optez pour un profil plus mince.

Research has shown an anti-fat bias in all areas of society, particularly in the workplace where young people are more likely to receive promotions, earn higher salaries and take on bigger projects. You can’t lose weight in 24 hours but you can appear slimmer by making a few strategic clothing choices.

– Never wear pleats. Trousers with pleats add 5 to 10 pounds to your frame because they billow and make your hips look wider.

Translation in English as listed:
— Opt for the monochromatic. Wearing a color from head to toe elongates your look. Dark tones enhance the effect.

– Add a nonconformist color. A bold tie conveys youthfulness. Add a pocket square for more flair. Make sure it’s in the same family of colors as the tie but with a different pattern.

Translation in English as shown:
— Wear what fits you. Tight clothes make you look heavier because you bulge everywhere, while loose clothes make you think that you are hiding something. If everything fits you perfectly, you can give the illusion of slimness.

 

5. Mâchez de la gomme, réagissez plus vite.

Avoid caffeine when you need to be sharper – its effects don’t last. Instead, chew peppermint or cinnamon gum, or suck on a peppermint hard candy. Research from Wheeling Jesuit University in West Virginia found a strong link between the smell of peppermint and improvements in mood, motivation and athletic performance. This study builds on previous research that linked the smell of peppermint with increased energy levels and cognitive functioning. Another Wheeling study found that the smell of cinnamon stimulates brain function and improves mental dexterity.

 

6. Adoptez une meilleure posture.

As we age, our postures contract and tend to take on a natural, reflexive intuition – this gaze goes hand in hand with aging. So you need to remedy it by staying flexible and keeping your spine straight. Need ideas on where to start?

 

7. Cachez les cheveux fins avec une coupe de cheveux.

This makes you instantly younger. And if you have balding or thinning hair, remember less is more. Gravity forces longer hair closer to the scalp, which exposes more skin at the top of your head. By cutting your hair shorter and in layers, you won’t see as much scalp, which does the trick. It’s an optical illusion.

 

8. Ajoutez de la bière pour des cheveux plus volumineux.

Translation in English as listed:
Any number of volumizing shampoos will give your hair body. A light beer works too – seriously. The yeast sticks to each strand, which gives the hair a plumper appearance.

 

9. Effacez les rides en mangeant de la truite.

The fish are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, such as trout, salmon and tuna, as well as broccoli, cauliflower, spinach and beans. These foods inhibit the formation of advanced glycation end products, which cause premature skin wrinkles.

 

10. Avoir des relations sexuelles, se réveiller plus jeune.

Translation in English as listed:
Sex brings blood to the surface of your skin, dilates your pupils and gives you a youthful look. The post-coital glow is undeniably real. To really spice up your bedroom, try out 15 easy ways to make sex last longer.

 

 

11. Allez au lit plus tôt.

Translation in English as listed:
In addition, going to bed an hour earlier than usual will give you the energy of 2 cups of coffee the next day. On the other hand, sleeping less than 6 hours can reduce your performance to the point of operating with a blood alcohol content of 0.05.

Translation in English as listed:
Does anticipation keep you up? Eat some fresh cherries or drink cherry juice. Researchers at the University of Texas have found that cherries are one of the best natural sources of melatonin, an over-the-counter sleep aid.

 

12. Faire une sieste comme un astronaute.

In a NASA study, a 25-minute nap increased alertness by 54% and performance by 34%. Even naps as short as 5 or 10 minutes can help increase memory and learning.

 

13. Comptez sur vos doigts.

The rough hands are an « gift » of age. And bitten nails suggest that you never grew up. People notice the hands like they notice shoes. Cut your nails with a nail clipper and file any rough edges. We won’t tell anyone. Then rub some olive oil into your hands. It’s a natural moisturizer that will soften cuticles to push them back.

 

14. Mangez de l’avoine pour l’énergie.

Eat a hearty breakfast of oatmeal (not the instant, sugar-laden kind) topped with chopped nuts, raisins, sesame seeds and low-fat milk. The slow-burning carbs and protein will fuel your body and brain for hours. Wash it down with two 20-ounce glasses of orange juice. A University of Alabama study found that 400 milligrams of vitamin C a day (the amount in a pint of fruit juice) significantly reduced the secretion of stress hormones.

 

15. Faites mousser votre peau au rétinol.

The retinol is a specific type of vitamin A that, in cream form, allows dead skin to flake off subtly, revealing naturally fresher and more radiant skin underneath. But don’t go overboard: you only need an amount the size of a pea to cover your entire face.

 

16. Jeûnez.

Translated text:
Intermittent fasting, which involves consuming fewer than 500 calories a day or twice a week, will help to speed up the production of HGH, or your human growth hormone. In turn, HGH stimulates your body’s collagen production, giving you brighter, plumper and younger-looking skin.

 

17. Avalez du B12 pour le cerveau.

The B12 vitamin helps reduce levels of homocysteine (an amino acid that promotes arterial plaque) and can prevent depression and improve cognition. But as you age, your body doesn’t absorb this vitamin from food as easily as when you were younger. If you are 50 or older, take 1 mg per day.

 

18. Prenez soin de votre visage.

Translation in English as shown:
Do your faves and eyebrows look like Neil Young’s? Cut them off, then follow this regimen:

– Get rid of dark circles by applying a camomile essential oil eye gel. Or soak two cotton balls in a 50/50 solution of ice water and cold whole milk. This mixture offers an anti-inflammatory and contracting effect.

As you age, the sebaceous glands that caused acne in teenagers shut down, leaving you with gecko skin. After shaving, apply a moisturizer. Or make your own: add a teaspoon of honey to 1/4 cup plain yogurt, mix and then apply a thin layer to your face. Rinse after 15 minutes. Yogurt hydrates your skin and honey repairs any micro-tears. Whatever you use, apply it to damp skin. Moisturizers are designed to trap water against your skin so it can be absorbed.

For wrinkles and fine lines, try a cream designed to calm the degradation of collagen or an active serum.

 

 

19. Détendez-vous, échauffez-vous, gagnez gros.

Translate the following French text to English. Preserve HTML tags and formatting exactly. Do not translate URLs, class names, or tag attributes. Only translate visible text content:

Just before you head into the conference room, take 10 minutes for a quick warm-up. Relax. Put some golf balls in a sports sock and place it on the floor. Take off your shoes and roll the balls with the bottom of your feet. Each of your feet contains more than 7,000 nerve endings. Stimulating them can trigger the release of endorphins, which reduces anxiety.

 

20. Revoyez vos liquides.

Drink lemon water. Avoid caffeine as it will dry out your throat. Instead, drink a glass of cool water with some lemon in it. This will help your voice sound deeper, richer and more powerful like it did when you were 25 years old. Red wine also has fantastic benefits: it contains resveratrol, an antioxidant known to reduce the risk of diabetes and heart disease.
