Improve Your Partner's Health and Fitness in 5 Steps

WARNING: This article is designed to be slightly 'tongue in cheek', but informative anyway...

Toy boys seem to be the latest 'hot accessory' for a whole host of Celebrity A-Listers in Hollywood right now. Demi Moore and Halle Berry seem to be leading the way in the 'toy boy' stakes, and many others are set to follow, but let's forget about tinseltown!

Who needs a toy boy when your current partner could be just as buff for their own age? I'm not talking six packs, bulging biceps and tree trunk thighs, but a lean, trim and stronger frame would surely hot things up in your current relationship, without a shadow of a doubt!

So, for those of you whose men have seen better days. And those of you men that think your partners might go looking for a younger model if you don't buck your ideas up, here are 5 good pointers on how to look 10 years younger (without going through that midlife crisis of wearing a biker jacket and highlighting your hair!)

1. Cut down on the booze.

Waistline results are almost guaranteed with a dip in alcohol intake. You might be able to get away with a heavy tipple when you're really 10 years younger, but let's be realistic here. You're not! Stop thinking you have to empty that wine bottle every evening with your dinner.

2. Drink enough water to float a boat.

Regain elasticity in your skin and lose that third chin by drinking enough water every day. Your breath won't stink, your energy levels will rise and you won't be caught taking afternoon naps, snoring the house down!

3. Avoid processed foods!

Sugar and white flour can cause reactions in the molecules of your skin, which can leave your skin thinner and weaker over time, leading to excess wrinkles and 'bagginess'. If you want your skin to be smooth as baby's bum, cut out the junk and start eating more sensibly...

4. Keep up your energy by staying active!

If you like the gym, stick with it. If you prefer the great outdoors, find an active hobby; triathlon, cycling, hiking, chopping down trees, fixing fences or chasing after the dog. Watching sport on telly doesn't count! It may look tiring but it won't do you any favours.

5. If you're thinning on top, do NOT go for a comb-over at the barbers!

42 percent of women say that bald is beautiful, so be a man and accept nature! Keep your hair closely cropped once your hair starts waving goodbye to your forehead...

Stick to those 5 rules and you'll look and feel a whole 10 years younger in no time at all. What these actions won't solve though are excess nasal hair, a fondness for cardigans and comfy shoes or a need to moan about everything in sight!
