Dr. Dray, could you please review the ingredients of the pricy Hero Serum with Malassezin from Mother Science? Thank you for always giving us reliable information!
I purchased a high end treadmill 2 years ago. I haven’t used it as much as I ought to. I was going to get rid of it… but now I realize I must use it. I have a second side hustle that is very physical for this reason - to get exercise. But I’m also going to resume using my treadmill. I regret not getting a smaller one bc I live in a shoebox apartment.
@DrDrayzday Your tempo has changed to more mechanical. Not flowing as a normal conversation which you are normally better at even if reading script. Did you make a system change?
I think possibly the fact that she may take out or edit small sections of her video may slightly contribute to what you are describing as mechanical. I'm not certain, but that is my guess.
two things I read recently: "I'd rather be the oldest in the gym than the youngest in the nursing home" and "exercise is a celebration of what your body can do and not a punishment for what you ate". In terms of cosmetic benefit of exercise, a fit energetic person is just so much more attractive and often has glowing skin compared to a sedentary person. Thank you @DrDrayzday for a great video - the first time I have seen skin care linked to exercise. Good stuff. (Don't forget to get enough protein too!)
I’m a dancer. I’m 47 and most people think I’m 20 years younger. I can attest to the anti-aging benefits of life long dancers. Beautiful posture, health, glowing skin and overall happy people. I swear that dance has been the best exercise for me, and it’s so much fun ❤
@@nutech1810 You'd be surprised, that is perimenopause for some but not everyone looks it. If you eat well, sleep well, rarely drink, exercise, skincare, you can still look much younger. Yes genetics help.
I spent nearly 30 years in a sedentary lifestyle because I thought I hated exercise. It turned out I just hadn't found the right activities. Now I'm active 3-4 days a week doing pole dance, aerial hoop acrobatics, and ballet. It's easy to stay consistent if you can find sports that genuinely excite you!
@@simonsaysism I used to love pole dance until I moved to a city where I have no studios close by 😢 that is when I switched to lifting weights because I loved feeling strong 😆
I’m often asked why I exercise when I don’t need to lose weight (BMI ~18.5). My response is that I do it for bone health, cardiac health, mental health, to prevent dementia, to prevent fraility. Now I will add skin health to the list.
Amen and Amen ... I am 71 years old and walk 5-7 miles (on hills) EVERY day. It has made a huge difference in my health and life - you are absolutely right about the benefits - I have the cardiovascular strength of someone 1/2 my age. I have also taken up weight training for upper body work out. Preach It!!!
Good for you! I am 60 & also walk 5-7 miles every day (with a 10 lb weighted vest on). I cannot imagine a day without walking. It is literally my life-line. If for some reason I am not feeling 100%, I will split up my walk & walk 3 miles in the morning & 3 miles in the evening. Over the last year I have gone from walking a 19 minute mile to a 15-16 minute mile (depending on whether or not I have my dog with me. The sniff breaks slow me down, haha). 😊
Dr Dray was definitely thinking about me today. It's my birthday. Today I am 55. And I have been working out since I was 5 and have had a gym membership since age 9. MY parents couldn't afford much, but they could afford the gym. At 23 I became a fitness instructor. I have been teaching for 32 years. Trust me when I tell you Exercise is the be all and end all for me. I prioritize it over everything and everyone. For me Exercise is LIFE❤❤
Preach girl, preach! Movement is medicine! I exercise daily and consider it a non-negotiable. Absolutely love working out and the way I feel during and after. Nothing like a good sweat and with severe venous insufficiency, a sedentary lifestyle won't cut it. Thanks for tying this back to skincare - a solid reminder of yet another benefit to daily movement.
After watching many dermatologist videos, this one is the most truthful and practical guidance for a beautiful and healthy life. Kudos to you, Dr. Dray.
I love your holistic approach to health. I feel like this is the mark of a good doctor. In one video, you’re addressing the health of every organ system in the body, which is so important because they don’t ever operate in isolation. Thanks for keeping it real. 😊
I love exercising (weightlifting + swimming + walking), not only so it pays off in my skin and body in later years (😅), but mostly for mental health, it keeps me from being depressed
That's what I do too. Daily cardio (swimming or walking for 30-45 mins) and kettlebell swings (30-60 reps) daily. It's not much, but it really helps with my depression.
Very very true!!! Im 70 y/o and My skin looks 50 y/o I go to gym 6 days weekly and my workout last 2 hours I feel energetic, confident, Im VERY BLESSED GIRL
I'm just 22 but the lifestyle is so sedentary that I just do not have the energy motivation to exercise at all! I get so tired when I try. Amy tips from your experience?
Needed to hear this! I’m 35 and often feel like I need all the products to preserve my youthfulness. Dr Dray thank you for reminding us that aging is NORMAL and the goal should be longevity and vitality! ❤
Dr Dray this is probably the best "anti aging" or "pro aging" or "ageing gracefully" video I have every seen. And I saw them a lot. Thank you very, very, very much to finally be someone who will incorporate and epmhasize the other very important things we can and we should do in our life, so that we can even be able to live long enough and capable enough to have a will to put all those lotions and potions on our faces. Nothing of that will be possible if we neglect our body now, because we are to obsessed with our skincare. Thank you very much for this motivational and inspirational video. I wish you millions of views on this one 😊
If you don't have a 30 minute block of time to walk every day, splitting it up into 3 10 minute walks is actually more beneficial. Just because it gets your blood moving several times a day. It can even be as simple as going for a quick walk around the block right after you eat. That has the added benefit of helping with digestion and also managing blood glucose levels
To me, there is no better exercise than ballet and modern dance. As well as being a good workout, it's mentally stimulating because it's an art form. You are striving to create beauty in the complicated lines you and your fellow dancers make moving through space. And it is also very sociable. Dancing together creates a real bond between people. So much fun! BTW, I'm 70 years old. I've learned how to make adjustments to my technique to protect myself from injury. I don't think there has to be an expiration date for dancing.
Thank you, Dr. Dray, this needs to be said for a long time. We get bombarded with creams, oils, peptides, and so on, but exercise, diet, and sleep are also very important.
Such good, sage advice. My 85 year old father had wound issues earlier this year and took months to heal. I changed his diet, and his wound started to heal faster and faster. Thanks for sharing.
Exercise is SO beneficial to your overall health, and it makes you look and feel younger! Keeping my mobility is my #1 priority as I age. I got sober at the age of 39 and now 5 years later I'm in the best shape of my life in my forties! Love your channel, Dr Dray. (Also don't forget the sunscreen!) 😘
Dr. Dray, thank you so much for honestly addressing the value of exercise on skincare and so many aspects of health. It’s exactly what I needed to hear to rekindle my joy of exercise and make it a daily priority. I love shifting the focus from lifespan to healthspan. The number of healthy days I have in this life is what really matters to me.
150 minutes of Moderate exercise: 15-min in the am; 15-min in pm--5 days per week. Walking after dinner helps digestion and weight loss. 15-min light weight routine, 15-min walking. Use your phone as the timer. No excuses.
Love this! Thank you for addressing these issues! Im 57 and working out 4-5 days a week and walking 3-5 miles daily to keep me out of the nursing home in the future! I've also started using the sauna for 20 minutes after I've worked out ! I love it!❤
I left my desk job of the past 20 years. Started serving at a popular Bar/Grille on the beach. Great money and I put in 3-5 miles per shift. (I always sunscreen) Win/win! 🎉
Agree 100% Dr. Dray.. I love you address many life concerns on your channel… keep your mobility strong in your younger years. Walk a mile a day. Join a fitness group. Stay active! I used to work with the elderly and the #1 silent harmful factor was broken bones. After they are not able to move around their mental state declines. Unfortunately, it was very hard for them to make it out of a hip break or leg breaks. Very very sad. 😪
You hit the mark Dr Dray you are so wise!! My 80 year old coworker always says keep your body moving she looks great and moves around better than my 50 year old parents
Totally agree! Along with exercise, keep your mind sharp. After I retired, I started tutoring in trig, physics, and Latin just to keep my brain going. Yes, I read, but reading is passive. Teaching forces me to stay sharp AND allows me to hear the thinking of teenagers, very interesting because it's so different from the way my mind works. I needed this video to get me back into medium impact exercise since I have super small bones, high risk for osteoporosis.🙄
I love how encouraging you are Dr Drey and explain that we don’t need to think about being active in extremes to get physical benefits of exercise. Once you establish an exercise routine the conditioning you will reap will encourage you to keep developing. Exercise is an amazing therapeutic. ✌🏽
I am sorry, but your comment really made me laugh! Not because your husband had a gash on his arm of course! It's because you said he does 2 miles a day on a treadmill, "rain or shine." I just pictured other people looking at their treadmill inside their house, then looking out the window and deciding "Well, I guess I can't use the treadmill today, it's raining!" 😂
Such great points. I wear sunscreen daily, a hat and sunglasses. I exercise 5 times per week at the gym. Walk every day. Limited alcohol. I cook most of my meals, which are delicious and heavily plant based. I do have a good skincare regimen including washing my face daily with gentle cleanser. Vitamin C serum in the morning under my sunscreen and Tretinoin 3 or 4 times a week at night and a good simple moisturizer. I’m 59 and look great for my age, so I’m told. 😊
Even doing household chores is a form of exercise because not only you organize and clean your private area (your home) but also you are doing some sort of body training from all that dusting, mopping and going up and down tidying things up around the house. Even going up and down the stairs is an exercise 😊❤. Thanks Doctor Andrea for pointing that one out. It's of great importance ❤.
@@sebumpostmortem no i haven't but i think that these weights would rise the level of difficulty but i won't know unless i try 😅. So thanks for the tip my friend ☺✌.
Yes, resistance training is so important, especially for us women, and the crazy thing is that we’re sometimes discouraged from doing it in favor of just doing cardio “to burn calories” (which doesn’t even really work, intentional exercise is such a tiny fraction of your TDEE). Also, an exercise routine was so much easier for me to stick to once I stopped seeing it as a way to alter my appearance and started seeing it as a way to make my body stronger and more capable.
Also, the awesome thing about exercise is that its benefits are cumulative, so it’s not all or nothing. If you can’t get the ideal recommended amount, any activity is always better than no activity. Start small if you have to.
I love that outlook! Also, exercise makes you feel good. It lessens my chronic pain and elevates my mood, which are very good incentives to keep doing it!
Happy member of the zesty granny team!😊Exercise keeps a lot of my pains away…arthritis, shoulder pain, lumbar pain, sadness,etc. good circulation and good skin are bonus. who would have thought that I get pain relieved by moving . Exercise is my medicine in my book! 😊😊
This is great advice, and it’s really important for people to hear this in the context of skincare, anti-aging, etc. But I wish it was that simple. I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, craniocervical instability, chronic fatigue, dysautonomia (some POTS-like symptoms but not yet diagnosed), and many other medical conditions. Exercise is soooo complicated. I’ve benefited a lot from reducing my activity level across the board, not just exercise, and a lot of the time I have to do things to “conserve energy,” meaning don’t park further away at the grocery store, don’t take the stairs, etc. But if everything is going well, I do a little walking most days (meaning 5-10 minutes at a slow pace). I do PT-style exercises focused on strength and stability. I’m constantly trying to make exercise a habit, but that is difficult when my symptoms vary a lot day-to-day. Not to mention how often I injure myself and have to take the time to recover. I’m not making excuses. I do what I can when I can. But people get very judgy about exercise, and I feel like it’s always worth pointing out that for some people it is not as simple as choosing to take a walk instead of sitting on the couch.
I do IPL/laser for my rosacea in winter and still exercise. It has improved my life, back pain and migraines. Hope I can do it for a really long time. I still get red in my face maybe slightly bit more than other people but I can really feel the benefits of the gym. Can't belive how much better I feel since I started weight lifting one year ago. I have a dog and I am outside walking a lot, working inside the house and garden but lifting weights is my holy grail
Living a happy and healthy life is more important than some wrinkles. Aging is a privilege. I mean, what’s the alternative? An early death. Live your life, drink water, and do the best you can 💕
Great topic today. Exercise is so important for the body and mind as well as overall well being. Appreciate you speaking about the benefits. Happy Tuesday, Dr Dray! I hope you have a blessed evening. 💜
Amazing video !!! Oh my gosh youre the only Dr online that i have come across to make an entire point about the importance of exercise to the body, quality of life, & skin care. Def gonna subscribe. Thank you for your insight Dr !!
Zesty Grandma! LOL love it - this is is my goal. I twisted my ankle recently while working in the garden. Having to slowly limp around for ten days made me grateful that I normally zip around and am very active. And I hope to stay zippy/zesty as long as possible! Another factor for healthy aging that often gets overlooked is drinking plenty of water. My elderly neighbor was experiencing dizzy spells/vertigo (and at her age a fall could be quite serious) and it turned out she was severely dehydrated.
Dr. Dray, your commitment to health has motivated me to take small, consistent steps. I’ve committed to more fiber and 7k steps a day. Taking a walk a night really helps my sleep.
There was a small Japanese study on resistance/weight training twice a week using middle-aged women that found an increase in growth factors, improving of elasticity in the dermis.
Good going Dr Dray, use it or lose it. Quality of life is the goal and that is much more complex than a jar of skin cream. Good nutrition, exercise for stamina, strength and flexibility and all the mental / emotional benefits. A few close relationships, a social system, some kind of spiritual life, and most importantly, something useful to do. Finally, Gratitude
if you are disabled like myself and in a wheelchair or that you cannot move, don't stress too much with that pressure of exercices, i know you are doing your best and it is so courageous to live in an ableist societies... cultivate your confidence in yourself, in doing baby steps, in your body despite its condition, it will reflect on your face ! Health is much more than doing this or that especially for people like us , it is much more global and sometimes more subtil .
This! There’s also science that imagining play helps you just as much. As a kid, I would often imagine something like riding my bike or a horse on the side of the road while I rode in the car :) ❤ I am also disabled, and your comment helped a lot!
It isn't "ableist" to tell people to exercise. The entire world shouldn't be expected to tiptoe their words to avoid offending every single other person in the world.
@@BringBackClassAndMaturity You're being a bigot. Inclusivity isn't tiptoeing around people. It's okay to learn about other people and including them in our discussions, especially because most people will not stay ablebodied their whole life (only if they die an early life), so really this topic benefits everyone.
I appreciate this video so much because I had the best skin of my life when I was exercising vigorously and regularly. I got a lot of compliments on my what I now know to be “glass skin.” Then menopause, a ridiculous number of chronic illness diagnoses, and a string of tragedies did a number on my skin. I aged dramatically in a short period of time and am having more issues with it than ever before. It’s as if I’m having to start over from scratch in learning to take care of my skin. It’s not easy. If you are able to exercise, do it! Stick with it and your skin will love it.
Just want to say that since I have been following your videos around 2.5 years ago, 95% of all my facial skin issues have disappeared. I am 75 years old and people always say I appear to be in my mid 60s. I know genetics play a large part in that, however, I know that a lot of the improvement in my skin has to do with your advice and direction. Thank you so very much for being there.
Hi Dr. Drey, I think you're one of my beauty remodelers. I've watched other doctors and beauty influencers, and I really liked your approach. You have a natural sense of taking care of yourself. I just thought I'd throw my two cents.
I love this perspective:) zesty granny reminds me of my mom, she walks and gardens as main exercise and always stays busy in mind with crossword puzzles for instance. I find she is so beautiful with only simple skincare and sunscreen. Bless you Dr, you are a wonderful pillar in health care field. You’re direct, honest, and holistic
Dr Dray I just want to thank you for what you do for us. I’ve learned so much from you within the last few months and have developed a routine in order to treat my KP thanks to you. Today was my first dermatologist appointment in 6 months since finding that routine, and I aced my entire appointment! She was so impressed with my knowledge and even said I should get into dermatology myself 😂 Thank you again for posting and sharing your knowledge with us, I needed it and you helped me so much! ❤❤❤
I’ve got some good news (I’m 60yo)… having a great skin regimen will keep you looking good. I’ve done it for years and stayed out of the sun. It’s never too late to do it either. Skin can improve. At aged 40 yo I had hyper pigmented skin from using SPF20 moisturisers. I started to use vitamin C serums and moved to SPF50. I wore hats. My skin looked cleaner and better at 50 than it did at 60 yo. My wrinkles were less prominent and my skin was firmer. Since then I have added in niacinamide. Skin spots and hyperpigmentation age you more than you think. It destroys collagen. I see women my age who look so much older than myself facially. Too much sun. Keep it OFF YOUR FACE AND NECK at all times. Wear SPF all the time when out. It’s not that hard to maintain good skin. No you won’t look 20 at 60! But you will look good and have far less deep lines, sagging and wrinkles than other women your age. The whole point is to have your skin look good at any age. Good FOR YOUR AGE.
My mum has osteoporosis, so I started lifting weights after years away. I am so pleasantly surprised to see how much muscle memory is still here in my mid-forties. Unexpectedly, my results seem to be almost as definitive as they were in my thirties, although I certainly have more aches and fussy skin to work through. 😂 Perhaps I’m being rewarded for fighting against the awful myth that we must decline over the hill.
After 2 hip replacements and being at the shady end of the 60s i love to walk and notice such a difference if i dont I am a zesty granny and can keep up with my grandkids because i do my 150 minutes a week.Also i do take care of my skin but am not obsessed with aging. HELLO! At 68 i AM old! What a privelege and a blessing to be so.
Listening to this while suffering from a hip overuse injury is heartbreaking! I used to exercise all the time and for the past six months I've been taking things slowly 😢
Woohoo, I’m early ❤ love ALL your content, thanks so much, Dr. Dray ❤ -I have chronic pain and many other health ailments but still manage every day to do recumbent bike (along with other modifiable healthy factors)
Wow Dr. Dray, this is such an informative video. Thank you so much for the reminder of how exercise affects everything from our innermost bones to the surface of our skin. I definately want to be that zesty granny, vibrant and alive!
‘ stop putting your skin care products on a pedestal’ awesome introduction! ‘ sunscreen and circulation inducing and strengthening exercises are prescribed ´❤

150 minutes of Moderate exercise: 15-min in the am; 15-min in pm--5 days per week. Walking after dinner helps digestion and weight loss. 15-min light weight routine, 15-min walking. Use your phone as the timer. No excuses.
Love this! Thank you for addressing these issues! Im 57 and working out 4-5 days a week and walking 3-5 miles daily to keep me out of the nursing home in the future! I've also started using the sauna for 20 minutes after I've worked out ! I love it!❤
I left my desk job of the past 20 years. Started serving at a popular Bar/Grille on the beach. Great money and I put in 3-5 miles per shift. (I always sunscreen) Win/win! 🎉
Agree 100% Dr. Dray.. I love you address many life concerns on your channel… keep your mobility strong in your younger years. Walk a mile a day. Join a fitness group. Stay active! I used to work with the elderly and the #1 silent harmful factor was broken bones. After they are not able to move around their mental state declines. Unfortunately, it was very hard for them to make it out of a hip break or leg breaks. Very very sad. 😪
You hit the mark Dr Dray you are so wise!! My 80 year old coworker always says keep your body moving she looks great and moves around better than my 50 year old parents
Totally agree! Along with exercise, keep your mind sharp. After I retired, I started tutoring in trig, physics, and Latin just to keep my brain going. Yes, I read, but reading is passive. Teaching forces me to stay sharp AND allows me to hear the thinking of teenagers, very interesting because it's so different from the way my mind works.
I needed this video to get me back into medium impact exercise since I have super small bones, high risk for osteoporosis.🙄
I love how encouraging you are Dr Drey and explain that we don’t need to think about being active in extremes to get physical benefits of exercise. Once you establish an exercise routine the conditioning you will reap will encourage you to keep developing. Exercise is an amazing therapeutic. ✌🏽
My husband is 78 and experienced a very bad gash on his arm. I was amazed how fast he healed. He does 2 miles a day on our treadmill, rain or shine.
I am sorry, but your comment really made me laugh! Not because your husband had a gash on his arm of course! It's because you said he does 2 miles a day on a treadmill, "rain or shine." I just pictured other people looking at their treadmill inside their house, then looking out the window and deciding "Well, I guess I can't use the treadmill today, it's raining!" 😂
@TryMyMartini omg haha I thought the same. Like why mention rain or shine if it's inside lol. But way to go for him!
Such great points. I wear sunscreen daily, a hat and sunglasses. I exercise 5 times per week at the gym. Walk every day. Limited alcohol. I cook most of my meals, which are delicious and heavily plant based. I do have a good skincare regimen including washing my face daily with gentle cleanser. Vitamin C serum in the morning under my sunscreen and Tretinoin 3 or 4 times a week at night and a good simple moisturizer. I’m 59 and look great for my age, so I’m told. 😊
Not that you've ever been unconfident on your channel, but this is another level. You're sassy! I love this attitude!
Even doing household chores is a form of exercise because not only you organize and clean your private area (your home) but also you are doing some sort of body training from all that dusting, mopping and going up and down tidying things up around the house. Even going up and down the stairs is an exercise 😊❤. Thanks Doctor Andrea for pointing that one out. It's of great importance ❤.
Have you tried to do household chores with ankle and wrist weights? 😉🖤
@@sebumpostmortem no i haven't but i think that these weights would rise the level of difficulty but i won't know unless i try 😅. So thanks for the tip my friend ☺✌.
@@sebumpostmortem Such a good idea, I do a lot of chorus, I can try this,thank you.
@@sebumpostmortemThank you! I’ve never given a second of thought to wrist and ankle weights! 😮 Helpful tip.😊
Literally clicked on this to get back to my deep cleaning chores
Yes, resistance training is so important, especially for us women, and the crazy thing is that we’re sometimes discouraged from doing it in favor of just doing cardio “to burn calories” (which doesn’t even really work, intentional exercise is such a tiny fraction of your TDEE). Also, an exercise routine was so much easier for me to stick to once I stopped seeing it as a way to alter my appearance and started seeing it as a way to make my body stronger and more capable.
Also, the awesome thing about exercise is that its benefits are cumulative, so it’s not all or nothing. If you can’t get the ideal recommended amount, any activity is always better than no activity. Start small if you have to.
I love that outlook! Also, exercise makes you feel good. It lessens my chronic pain and elevates my mood, which are very good incentives to keep doing it!
I started in high school and my parents told me don’t lift weights! Men don’t like a girl with muscles! Luckily I ignored them
Exercise is also helping my mental health! In the winter, if I can’t get out due to icy conditions, I use youtube for exercise- no excuses!
Me too

Hi Any UA-cam recommendations for exercise?
@@Wowimemo search any home workouts you'll find so many channels and exercise according to your health.
Penny Barnshaw, Heather Robinson, Growing annanas.....there are so many excellent fitness influencer.
Happy member of the zesty granny team!😊Exercise keeps a lot of my pains away…arthritis, shoulder pain, lumbar pain, sadness,etc. good circulation and good skin are bonus. who would have thought that I get pain relieved by moving . Exercise is my medicine in my book! 😊😊
This is great advice, and it’s really important for people to hear this in the context of skincare, anti-aging, etc. But I wish it was that simple. I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, craniocervical instability, chronic fatigue, dysautonomia (some POTS-like symptoms but not yet diagnosed), and many other medical conditions. Exercise is soooo complicated. I’ve benefited a lot from reducing my activity level across the board, not just exercise, and a lot of the time I have to do things to “conserve energy,” meaning don’t park further away at the grocery store, don’t take the stairs, etc. But if everything is going well, I do a little walking most days (meaning 5-10 minutes at a slow pace). I do PT-style exercises focused on strength and stability. I’m constantly trying to make exercise a habit, but that is difficult when my symptoms vary a lot day-to-day. Not to mention how often I injure myself and have to take the time to recover. I’m not making excuses. I do what I can when I can. But people get very judgy about exercise, and I feel like it’s always worth pointing out that for some people it is not as simple as choosing to take a walk instead of sitting on the couch.
Zesty Granny goals🏃🏼♀️➡️🤸🏼♀️🧘🏼💃🏼
😂 👵🏼
Zesty has a new meaning these days 😂
I do IPL/laser for my rosacea in winter and still exercise. It has improved my life, back pain and migraines. Hope I can do it for a really long time. I still get red in my face maybe slightly bit more than other people but I can really feel the benefits of the gym. Can't belive how much better I feel since I started weight lifting one year ago. I have a dog and I am outside walking a lot, working inside the house and garden but lifting weights is my holy grail
Living a happy and healthy life is more important than some wrinkles. Aging is a privilege. I mean, what’s the alternative? An early death.
Live your life, drink water, and do the best you can 💕
Great topic today. Exercise is so important for the body and mind as well as overall well being. Appreciate you speaking about the benefits. Happy Tuesday, Dr Dray! I hope you have a blessed evening. 💜
Amazing video !!! Oh my gosh youre the only Dr online that i have come across to make an entire point about the importance of exercise to the body, quality of life, & skin care. Def gonna subscribe. Thank you for your insight Dr !!
More than an enlightenment, a warm sense of encouragement. Thank you.
Zesty Grandma! LOL love it - this is is my goal. I twisted my ankle recently while working in the garden. Having to slowly limp around for ten days made me grateful that I normally zip around and am very active. And I hope to stay zippy/zesty as long as possible! Another factor for healthy aging that often gets overlooked is drinking plenty of water. My elderly neighbor was experiencing dizzy spells/vertigo (and at her age a fall could be quite serious) and it turned out she was severely dehydrated.
Dr. Dray, your commitment to health has motivated me to take small, consistent steps. I’ve committed to more fiber and 7k steps a day. Taking a walk a night really helps my sleep.
You and Jennifer Myers here on UA-cam are my absolute favorites when it comes to skincare/healthy aging
There was a small Japanese study on resistance/weight training twice a week using middle-aged women that found an increase in growth factors, improving of elasticity in the dermis.
Just listening to you calms me so much
This is wonderful! The body and mind are one. I have simplified my skin care thanks to you and daily SPF every single day
Happy Tuesday Dr Dray so excited to be here i live for this❤️
Morning!
@@DrDrayzday❤
Happiest Tuesday, dear Dr. Dray and friends! 💚
Thank You!! Happy Tuesday to You Too!! 😊
@@jackiemarsh2470 Thank you so much! 😊
What a great way to enjoy my Birthday!! I love skincare routine thanks to Dr Dray. It makes me happy and that is the most important part.
Yup! Happy birthday!🎉
Yesss😀👍💐🎉🎁🎈!!!….
Have the happiest birthday! 🤩
Good going Dr Dray, use it or lose it. Quality of life is the goal and that is much more complex than a jar of skin cream. Good nutrition, exercise for stamina, strength and flexibility and all the mental / emotional benefits. A few close relationships, a social system, some kind of spiritual life, and most importantly, something useful to do. Finally, Gratitude
Dr Dray, here with the big sister advice we all need!
Thank you so very much for today's post. I needed very much to hear this today. I will continue my walking. Speak on this more please. Xo
Very good, Dr. DRAY! THANK YOU!
Thank you for this topic Dr. Dray - exercise IS the fountain of youth! 🙌
So happy you addressed this. It's very true. Thank you for caring
We need ‘Zesty granny goals’ on a T-shirt asap! ❤❤❤❤
Better wound healing is something I didn't know exercise could help with. I'm grateful for Dr. Dray teaching me new things everyday.
Oh my gah thank you!!! There are so many fantastic workouts you can do at home!
Loved this take on focusing on the longevity of out health and not just the aesthetics
I wish my husband would watch this he needs to exercise! Thanks for a great video!❤️
It’s not too late 😊
Zesty Grandmas need Zesty Grandpas!
Could not agree more...I have been working out since I graduated from college nearly 40 years ago!
if you are disabled like myself and in a wheelchair or that you cannot move, don't stress too much with that pressure of exercices, i know you are doing your best and it is so courageous to live in an ableist societies... cultivate your confidence in yourself, in doing baby steps, in your body despite its condition, it will reflect on your face ! Health is much more than doing this or that especially for people like us , it is much more global and sometimes more subtil .
This! There’s also science that imagining play helps you just as much. As a kid, I would often imagine something like riding my bike or a horse on the side of the road while I rode in the car :) ❤
I am also disabled, and your comment helped a lot!
Thank you so much for this. I get so sad hearing about how exercise is important when it's not possible. 🥰❤️
It isn't "ableist" to tell people to exercise. The entire world shouldn't be expected to tiptoe their words to avoid offending every single other person in the world.
@@BringBackClassAndMaturity Exercising is not accessible to everyone, therefore it is ableist.
@@BringBackClassAndMaturity You're being a bigot. Inclusivity isn't tiptoeing around people. It's okay to learn about other people and including them in our discussions, especially because most people will not stay ablebodied their whole life (only if they die an early life), so really this topic benefits everyone.
I appreciate this video so much because I had the best skin of my life when I was exercising vigorously and regularly. I got a lot of compliments on my what I now know to be “glass skin.” Then menopause, a ridiculous number of chronic illness diagnoses, and a string of tragedies did a number on my skin. I aged dramatically in a short period of time and am having more issues with it than ever before. It’s as if I’m having to start over from scratch in learning to take care of my skin. It’s not easy. If you are able to exercise, do it! Stick with it and your skin will love it.
So true Dr. Gray! Thank you for doing this video
Just want to say that since I have been following your videos around 2.5 years ago, 95% of all my facial skin issues have disappeared. I am 75 years old and people always say I appear to be in my mid 60s. I know genetics play a large part in that, however, I know that a lot of the improvement in my skin has to do with your advice and direction. Thank you so very much for being there.
Hi Dr. Drey,
I think you're one of my beauty remodelers. I've watched other doctors and beauty influencers, and I really liked your approach. You have a natural sense of taking care of yourself. I just thought I'd throw my two cents.
I love this perspective:) zesty granny reminds me of my mom, she walks and gardens as main exercise and always stays busy in mind with crossword puzzles for instance. I find she is so beautiful with only simple skincare and sunscreen. Bless you Dr, you are a wonderful pillar in health care field. You’re direct, honest, and holistic
Happy Tuesday, Dr. Dray❤
You nailed it!! Amazing , so much knowledge to share ! Thank you for sharing with all of us!! You are a gift!
You are so motivating! I just love you, Dr. Dray!! Great video!!!
Love this message! Exercise and clean diet are most important for everything!
Dr Dray I just want to thank you for what you do for us. I’ve learned so much from you within the last few months and have developed a routine in order to treat my KP thanks to you. Today was my first dermatologist appointment in 6 months since finding that routine, and I aced my entire appointment! She was so impressed with my knowledge and even said I should get into dermatology myself 😂 Thank you again for posting and sharing your knowledge with us, I needed it and you helped me so much! ❤❤❤
Congratulations to everyone self-congratulating but God-bless it this is simply an intelligent, informative video. Real congratulations, Dr Dray.
Wow, I was not expecting this to be about exercise... And I love it!
Love this video! So good. Thanks, Dr. Dray
I’ve got some good news (I’m 60yo)… having a great skin regimen will keep you looking good. I’ve done it for years and stayed out of the sun. It’s never too late to do it either. Skin can improve. At aged 40 yo I had hyper pigmented skin from using SPF20 moisturisers. I started to use vitamin C serums and moved to SPF50. I wore hats. My skin looked cleaner and better at 50 than it did at 60 yo. My wrinkles were less prominent and my skin was firmer. Since then I have added in niacinamide. Skin spots and hyperpigmentation age you more than you think. It destroys collagen. I see women my age who look so much older than myself facially. Too much sun. Keep it OFF YOUR FACE AND NECK at all times. Wear SPF all the time when out. It’s not that hard to maintain good skin. No you won’t look 20 at 60! But you will look good and have far less deep lines, sagging and wrinkles than other women your age. The whole point is to have your skin look good at any age. Good FOR YOUR AGE.
Thank you for this video. I can’t tell that you really care and passionate about educating people n motivating them
Love Dr Dray 🙌🏻
you are looking gorgeous and healthy, love this outside natural lighting!
My mum has osteoporosis, so I started lifting weights after years away. I am so pleasantly surprised to see how much muscle memory is still here in my mid-forties. Unexpectedly, my results seem to be almost as definitive as they were in my thirties, although I certainly have more aches and fussy skin to work through. 😂 Perhaps I’m being rewarded for fighting against the awful myth that we must decline over the hill.
After 2 hip replacements and being at the shady end of the 60s i love to walk and notice such a difference if i dont
I am a zesty granny and can keep up with my grandkids because i do my 150 minutes a week.Also i do take care of my skin but am not obsessed with aging. HELLO! At 68 i AM old! What a privelege and a blessing to be so.
Listening to this while suffering from a hip overuse injury is heartbreaking! I used to exercise all the time and for the past six months I've been taking things slowly 😢
Ugh, I’ve had to deal with similar issues - it seriously blows. 😔
Great topic, great perspective. If you are healthier longer, you are giving and receiving the gift of independence as you age as well.
Woohoo, I’m early ❤ love ALL your content, thanks so much, Dr. Dray ❤ -I have chronic pain and many other health ailments but still manage every day to do recumbent bike (along with other modifiable healthy factors)
8:59 So true. 💗We can change our behavior and create new healthy habits much easier through compassion than shame.
I do Brazilian jiu-jitsu a few times a week! I think it falls in the more intense exercise category, but it's also fun and social
Amazing down to earth advice, thank you! ❤❤❤
Your hair looks so healthy and pretty 😊
100% spot on!!
Thank you.
I appreciate your sarcasm and sense of humor!
Wow Dr. Dray, this is such an informative video. Thank you so much for the reminder of how exercise affects everything from our innermost bones to the surface of our skin. I definately want to be that zesty granny, vibrant and alive!
Thank you for this video. Love the approach of this video. First our health, second our looks aka wrinkles. And it's true: everything's connected.
You are glowing from inside out 💌 love the hair health and color!
Happy Tuesday Dr Dray….see you tomorrow x💙🤩
Ah yes, this is all nursing 101. As a nurse, thank you! More people need to hear this!
