September is Healthy Aging Month at West Dermatology. This month we are focusing on developing good habits that assist in healthy aging. Below are some tips to keep your body healthy on both the inside and on the outside.
Healthy on the Inside
- Drink plenty of water
- Limit sugary foods, salt, and refined-grain products
- Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables
- Eat fiber rich foods
- Consume plenty of calcium and vitamin D for bone health
- Monitor fat intake in order to maintain healthy cholesterol levels
- Take a multi-vitamin
- Don't smoke
- Get moving
Healthy on the Outside
- Wear sunscreen
- Shield your skin from the sun
- Gently cleanse your skin to remove dirt, oil, dead skin cells and other unwanted particles once or twice a day, and/or after exercising.
- Moisturize your skin to retain water. The most effective time to moisturize is directly after a bath or shower.
- Don't pick at your skin as this can lead to scarring.
- Take advantage of aesthetic procedures that can help rejuvenate your skin.
- Get your skin checked on a regular basis, at least once a year, by a dermatologist.
Remember, you're never too old to look and feel young.

I just want you to know that since I've switched offices(to Riverside), I am very content. The staff is very professional and courteous, always remembering to give me the information and samples of sunscreen. Although their phone lines are very busy, they return your call. I've recommended alot of friends to your company but I make sure they schedule with the Riverside office.
