You cannot stop the clock but there are several steps you can take to make you
look and feel years younger. As we approach yet another year, we felt anti-aging
was an appropriate topic to discuss in this newsletter.
When talking about anti-aging, most people lament about the outward appearances
that have gone to pot; the sagging this and the wrinkled that. But, to
adequately address anti-aging, you need to first focus inward. After all, a
healthy inside fortified by nutrition and solid health practices will naturally
translate to outward health.
Although an anti-aging skin care product might certainly help, the best
anti-aging approach to smoothing away the years and erase lines and wrinkles is
through solid nutrition, including a supplement product, adequate rest and
plenty of exercise.
When you take care of yourself and feel good on the inside, you will naturally
look healthy and young on the outside.
Nutrition as an Anti-aging System of Medical Health:
Nutrition is by far the best defense against wrinkles. Fresh vegetables and
whole grains provide nutrition needed to run the body and nourish the skin, hair
and nails, the eyes, your joints and muscles. Processed foods, on the other
hand, tend to be higher in calorie content, lower in nutrition value and higher
in toxins. Processed foods also tend to be higher in carbohydrates that in turn
raise insulin levels, the major accelerate of aging. One of the best anti-aging
strategies you can adopt is to trade your sugar and refined grain-laden foods
for raw foods.
Brightly colored foods like broccoli, carrots, tomatoes, cantaloupe, and citrus
fruits are high in nutrition and anti-aging antioxidants that fight free
radicals that cause damage to cells. Blueberries especially are a great
anti-aging food. Although most fruits and vegetables contain antioxidants, the
USDA ranked blueberries as the best in antioxidant activity when compared to 40
other fruits and vegetables.
Regular consumption of omega-3 fatty acids is another highly recommended
anti-aging nutrition strategy to feel and look younger. Fish oil contains high
levels of the omega-3 fatty acids but might also have high levels of mercury. We
recommend flax seed and flax seed oil, which has the highest plant-based omega-3
fatty acid levels. Adding two tablespoons of ground flax seed to your daily diet
as an anti-aging strategy will work wonders.
Nutrition Supplement Use as an Anti-aging System of Medical Health:
Because the average American diet is woefully lacking in health and restorative
value, we recommend taking an anti-aging nutrition supplement to keep the body
in a more youthful state. Using a nutrition supplement product to supplement the
diet is one of the easiest anti-aging tactics available.
When the correct nutrients are supplied to the body, the skin's "turgor,"
moistness, plumpness and elasticity remain supple and youthful for longer
periods of time. Good nutrition is a great anti-aging investment.
The Eternal-In nutrition supplement product works in concert with the body by
supplying the necessary anti-aging nutritition requirements that the skin needs
to remove celullar and toxic wastes and repair itself, allowing the skin to
maintain its elasticity and reduce the possibility of premature aging.
Included in the Eternal-In nutrition supplement product is Pycnogenol® which has
been well documented to help regenerate and sustain fine capillary function, act
against varicose vein development and the occurrence of spider veins within the
skin. L-Cysteine and L-Cystine aid in restoring the natural color to hair. The
Eternal-In nutrition supplement product also supplies DMAE, a free-radical chain
transfer agent that is extremely useful in ridding the skin of age spots. Free
form amino acid precursors help the body eliminate free radicals that can lead
to loose and wrinkled skin.
Ginkgo Biloba, L-Glutathione, Pycnogenol, OptiZinc and Sarsaparilla all work to
purify the blood and remove the sometimes dangerous array of chemical toxins
that can poison the body and further handicap the body's efficiency and the
skin's youthful appearance.
In addition to using a high quality anti-aging nutrition supplement product like
Eternal-In, you will also want to drink plenty of pure water. Drinking six to
eight glasses throughout the day will hydrate your skin, flush toxins from your
body and keep your internal organs functioning properly.
Sleep as an Anti-aging System of Medical Health:
The right amount of sound sleep is crucial in the anti-aging system. It is
during sleep that your body maintains and repairs itself, that cell growth
occurs and the immune system is strengthened. Sleep slows the aging process. In
short, too many missed hours of sleep will show up on the face and will take its
toll on the body and the mind. Getting adequate sleep sharpens concentration,
memory and physical performance. Eight hours nightly is the recommended, though
some people require more and some require less.
Stress Reduction as an Anti-aging System of Medical Health:
Stress places an incredible burden on the body. Stressful events can make
wrinkles and gray hairs appear almost overnight. Long-term stress can make you
look and feel years older. Stress wears you down inside and out. There are some
scientists who believe that up to 90 percent of illness and disease is stress
related.
Exercise as an Anti-Aging System of Medical Health:
Regular exercise also slow the aging process. Regular exercise, 30 minutes
daily, is key in anti-aging. Working up a sweat stimulates the endocrine system,
boosts the immune system, improves short term memory and mood, reduces
depression, increases muscle strength, reduces blood pressure, improves
circulation, stops bone loss and reduces the risk of heart disease and certain
types of cancer. Additionally, it reduces stress and improves the quality of
sleep, which in turn improves the anti-aging efforts. If you want to look and
feel younger, exercise is an absolute must.
Smoking Cessation as an Anti-aging System of Medical Health:
If you currently smoke (a huge no-no on the anti-aging front), now is the time
to stop. Smoking causes premature wrinkling and a leathery skin texture, in
addition to the many health hazards associated with smoking. Since I am certain
there are few people on Planet Earth that are unaware of the detriments of
smoking, I'll save the lecture and suffice it to say that your insides, your
outsides and your wallet will thank you if you quit smoking.
