How can you achieve maximum health as you age?
Some think it is the voice of God.
-- Mark Twain
Of all the spectacular advances in medicine, science and technology that have occurred over the past hundred years those that have had the most profound impact on our lives are those that have increased the human life span. However, the perception of aging as a depressing downward spiral of wrinkles, senility, illness, and getting OLD persists.
It doesn’t have to be like that. For instance, growing older does not have to be synonymous with ill health. It’s sad, but true, that many people suffer from ailments that are easily preventable, or controllable, through diet and lifestyle. According to the American National Cancer Institute, as many as 35% of all cancers may be due to poor diet, and other experts estimate that at least 50% of all cases of heart disease might be averted by changes in diet and lifestyle. Changes which, in themselves, would greatly enhance both the length and quality of life.
Throughout the world, researchers are discovering new and exciting ways to maintain health and vitality well into old age, as well as innovative techniques to prevent some of the common ailments associated with aging. Here are some of their fascinating findings:-
-
- Vitamins and supplements (antioxidants) may help to protect the body against compounds that are thought to speed up the aging process.
- A handful of foods and supplements may substantially reduce the risk of developing cataracts and macular degeneration, the leading cause of blindness among the elderly.
- An ancient herb and other supplements may help to prevent memory loss, and keep your mind alert and sharp.
- Vitamins and supplements may help to rejuvenate a “tired” immune system.
- Contrary to the popular belief that our muscles grow weaker as we age, it is actually possible, with the right kind of exercise, to build muscle and maintain strength well into our nineties and beyond.
- A supplement widely used in Japan as a treatment for heart disease (and available at health food shops) may help to keep an aging heart pumping as strongly as a younger one.
- Prostate problems, which are common among men over 50, may be prevented or reversed by a combination of diet and supplements.
- The right combination of herbs and supplements can relieve the discomfort of menopause for many women.
and all these tools are readily available to anyone who wants to use them. Isn’t that absolutely fantastic! For the first time, you can have the power and the knowledge to change your fate and make a real difference to both the quality and length of your life.
Obviously, you cannot turn back the clock, but over the coming days and weeks I shall be sharing with you information that will help you to be the best you can at whatever age you are.
In the meantime, you may be interested in my friend Leon’s book of Anti-Aging Beauty Secrets The book is packed full of information and ‘recipes’ for treatments you can make at home using every-day stuff you can find in your kitchen, or buy in your supermarket.
Here’s to long life and happiness!
