For many women, getting older is one thing. But there is one good thing: you just know a lot better afterwards!
When it comes to health issues and your own
body, at 30, 40 you know a lot that you weren't aware of when you were 20. Or you perceive things differently.
If we could give our 20-year-old self a few tips, these would definitely be these ten:
1. Laugh more, enjoy every day
There are a thousand things to get upset about, but it's usually not worth it. Especially about all the annoying little things you should just smile away and carry on. You can't change them anyway. Much better: laugh as often as possible and - whenever possible - have the fun of your life.
2. Listen to your body
At 20, you still feel like you can tear out trees. The body is young, robust and can take a lot. But he's still sensitive. You don't have to go to the doctor with every little zipper, but you should already learn to listen to your body. Already you when you are sick and don't go back to university, work, etc. too early
3. Make peace with your body
At the age of 20 everything was still tight and tight and yet you were bothered by little things. Totally crazy, as you know years later. Better be happy that you are healthy and learn to love your body. You are beautiful the way you are!
4. Move more
Movement is good for body and soul. So come down from the sofa! The sooner you get used to a routine, the easier it will be for you. At some point you can no longer imagine life without sport.
5. Learn to cook
In the past, it was a matter of course that you learned about cooking from your mom. This is often no longer the case these days. Make the effort anyway, learn to cook and then actually stand at the stove. Homemade food tastes much better and is significantly healthier than fast food and ready meals. The effort is definitely worth it.
6. Don't go through that many nights
The temptations are great, but don't notice everyone. Don't go through the nights all the time; You're more likely to get wrinkles, your immune system is suffering, and you look older than you are!
7. Don't drink so much alcohol
The same applies to alcohol. Already your liver and take part in non-alcoholic evenings when partying. You can have a lot of fun without alcohol.
8. Don't forget the sunscreen
Tanning is also possible with sunscreen! Take care of your skin. The risk of skin cancer should not be underestimated and the skin becomes wrinkled more quickly.
9. Think of the condom
Sure, even at 20 you know how important safe sex is. Please do not allow exceptions. At some point you have bad luck ...
10. Take precautionary appointments
Going to the dentist or
gynecologist once a year is important! Breast cancer also affects young women. In the case of the dentist, you also save a lot of money if you have a well-maintained bonus book.
