ANTI-AGING INGREDIENTS ON THE DINNER PLATE

We now we have some proof the anti-aging ingredients are on your dinner plate.  Researchers at McMaster University have developed a cocktail of ingredients that forestalls major aspects of aging.

FINDINGS

The findings are published in the current issue of Experimental Biology and Medicine.

The study found that a complex dietary supplement powerfully offsets this key symptom of ageing in old mice by increasing the activity of the cellular furnaces that supply energy – or mitochondria – and by reducing emissions from these furnaces – or free radicals – that are thought to be the basic cause of ageing itself.

Using bagel bits soaked in the supplement to ensure consistent and accurate dosing, the formula maintained youthful levels of locomotor activity into old age whereas old mice that were not given the supplement showed a 50 per cent loss in daily movement, a similar dramatic loss in the activity of the cellular furnaces that make our energy, and declines in brain signaling chemicals relevant to locomotion. This builds on the team’s findings that the supplement extends longevity, prevents cognitive declines, and protects mice from radiation.

Ingredients consists of items that were purchased in local stores selling vitamin and health supplements for people, including vitamins B1, C, D, E, acetylsalicylic acid, beta carotene, folic acid, garlic, ginger root, ginkgo biloba, ginseng, green tea extract, magnesium, melatonin, potassium, cod liver oil, and flax seed oil. Multiple ingredients were combined based on their ability to offset five mechanisms involved in ageing.

SCIENCE VS. NATURE

This study showed  both the remarkable extension of physical function in old mice, and extended longevity. With this comes hopes of developing more effective supplements.

Nature has already done that for us all we have to do is part take. What you put on your plate is more powerful than any supplements you buy.

The scourge of the 21^st century is the sedentary lifestyle. Lack of activity is not well tolerated by the body. To plan fitness into your day is one of the most important things you can do for yourself. 

In an issue of the British Journal of Sports Medicine, specialists argue that prolonged periods of sitting are truly detrimental. In addition, we should focus on the harms caused by daily inactivity rather than on the lack of regular exercise alone.

The term “sedentary behavior” has come to mean “taking no exercise” according to doctors from the Karolinska Institute and the Swedish School of Sport and Health Sciences in Stockholm, Sweden.

The authors explain that the health of people who already do too little exercise will suffer even more if combined with extended bouts of sitting.                                                                                                                                      
Neutralize The Effects

Neutralizing the effects of muscular stagnation is not that difficult. It is very important to do because it is effective at glucose control, cancer prevention, and circulation optimizer.

Well, I bet you can’t wait to find out how to get killer abs while not having to do any difficult exercise. If that is what you expect you are at the wrong place. Our aim is to provide defensive strategies that require the minimum effort.

Good abs are not what is going to be as important as energizing for lifelong health. Restoring healthy function is paramount to stimulating your immune system.

Recent Studies

Recent research indicates that prolonged periods of sitting and lack of whole body muscular movement are strongly linked to obesity, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and cognitive decline.

An Australian study suggested that for every additional hour a woman sits in front of the TV, her risk of metabolic syndrome which is a precursor to diabetes and cardiovascular disease, increases by 26 percent. This is irrespective of how much moderate exercise she does.

Fight Back

Reap the benefits of boosting your non-exercise activities. Insufficient movement is the culprit, not a lack of hard core exercising. Before inertia gets a hold there is way to obtain the benefits of a non-sedentary lifestyle.

All movement counts, and that is what is missing in most peoples day to day activities. While you unpack groceries, clean, make lunches, blend drinks, you have an oportunity to contributed to you daily activities. Planing your daily routine to include some extra steps can help keep you fit for life, It is easy to implement into your everyday activities.

Strategy

These exercises look puny compared to the feats of the barbell lifting crowd. However, you have another goal that is even more important, which is to prevent illness, and energize your life. So instead of worrying about building a six pack lets opt to start by becoming aware of your muscle groups.

With just small changes you could be on your road to a healthier and more productive life. The point is everything in your day takes some type of planning from your daily meals, to your bill paying. So start planning to put exercise on your immediate horizon. Quality, value, and choice are the three criteria for choosing some fun activities. The quality is how good it is at achieving what you want. The value it what it will add to the quality of your life. Above all the choice is yours.

For years allopathic medicine said it’s in the genes, and nutrition had nothing to do with your condition. What a relief for most people they could keep doing what they always did. However, what was left out was if you keep doing what you always do you will keep getting the same results. Holistic healing modalities recognizes that the path to health in not in the pill bottles lining your medicine cabinet.

It has been found that the best strategy for a long life free of debilitating disease would be to restrict calories. The best way to do that is to cut down on glucose. This is what helps human cells live longer. This discovery was published in the FASEB Journal (Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology). 

Changes

This is the reaction that I would expect to the news. Changes that get you moving in the right direction include weight control, and tweaks to your lifestyle. Understanding what getting healthier means, will help you makeover your health. This is holistic healing, and this is the future of medicine.

Believe it of Not

“Western science is on the cusp of developing a pharmaceutical fountain of youth” said Gerald Weissmann, M.D., Editor-in-Chief of The FASEB Journal. “This study confirms that we are on the path to persuading human cells to let us to live longer, and perhaps cancer-free, lives.”

Don’t Hold Your Breath

“Our hope is that the discovery that reduced calories extends the lifespan of normal human cells will lead to further discoveries of the causes for these effects in different cell types and facilitate the development of novel approaches to extend the lifespan of humans,” said Trygve Tollefsbol, Ph.D., a researcher involved in the work from the Center for Aging and Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. “We would also hope for these studies to lead to improved prevention of cancer as well as many other age-related diseases through controlling calorie intake of specific cell types.”

The people that have been practicing this type of lifestyle have proved that this works without pharmacitical intervention. There is no need to wait for conclusive studies, the research studies are compelling, and the best proof is the success of the people that have benefited from this.

Calorie Poisoning

This is the malady that many people suffer from. When people hear calorie restriction they think starvation diet. Well most people are on a starvation diet. How could that be with all the abundance?

Nutrient starvation for lack of a better term means cells are starving and can’t function well. That is what happens when you consume calories from non-nutritious sources. The other problem is when the amount of food shoved in on a continuous basis is too large for the organs to handle you become toxic.

Once your cells are toxic they can’t perform their jobs very well. We are being calorie poisoned. Our systems never have a chance to rest between eating. Digestion takes a lot of energy, that can be used for repair work.

Where To Start

When your hear calorie restriction, think of it as the opposite of calorie poisoning. Restricting Glucose that is part of most packaged food is a good way to start. This sure beats waiting for drugs that will slow human aging and prevent cancer. The formula for doing that is on your dinner plate.

Starting this before another round of scientific studies is conducted would be prudent. After you start you will know the results in short order.

Alternative ways to health that are sensible have been known for centuries. In this decade we need researches to discover the obvious. How far we have come from common sense is due to the power of modern medicine.
