What Accelerates Aging?

Phosphates

The newest research published in the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology Journal (FASEB) shows that high levels of phosphates in soda accelerates the signs of aging. High phosphate levels can increase the severity of chronic kidney disease and cardiovascular calcification, and induce severe muscle and skin atrophy.

“Humans need a healthy diet and keeping the balance of phosphate in the diet may be important for healthy life and longevity,” stated M. Shawkat  Razzaque, M.D,, Ph.D. from the Department of Medicine, Infection and Immunity at the Harvard School of Dental Medicine. “Avoid Phosphate toxicity and enjoy a healthy life.”

Gerald Weissmann, M.D., Editor-in-chief of the FASEB Journal said “This research suggests that our phosphorous balance influences the aging process, don’t tip it.”

We are a world in motion trying to innovate through technology to empower people. The only ones becoming empowered are the food manufactures, pharmaceutical companies, and medical industry. We wind up with the diet sodas to help keeps us slim, processed food devoid of life giving properties, chemical solutions, and medical procedures in the beauty business that do little to support our overall health.

Sugar

Sugar triggers a natural process called glycation, which is the same chemical reaction that turns meat brown when you cook it. The sugar bind with tissues to form harmful molecules, called advanced gycation end products (AGEs) good abbreviation for what it does. It damages the elastin and collagen, the two things your skin needs to stay supple and elastic. At the same time AGEs also damage the kidneys, brain and other essential organs.

A 2007 study in the British Journal of Dermatology found that sugar’s effects on the skin begin to show at about age 35 and become more pronounced as you get older. No wonder that cosmetic procedures are being used at younger and younger ages.

The obvious culprits like soda, pastry, cake, and candy cause damage, but so do foods with high glycemic index, like white bread, pasta, potatoes, and highly processed foods. These foods are quickly converted to sugar. AGEs make the skin more susceptible to sun damage, which then in turn accelerates the gycation process. Chips and french fries have been chemical damaged in the processing and will supply you with AGEs which will compound the problem.

Natural Anti-Aging

All natural anti-aging strategies will protect you from visible signs of aging, while keeping you healthy. There is overwhelming evidence that these methods protect you inside and outside.

The pros are that what is outlined here works; the cons are that it requires change. We have a beauty business in America that relies on solutions that are pharmaceutical, and medical. What that really says we are using technology for what we neglected to do naturally.

The ideal lift comes from inside and out, and it will do more than the visible face contour lifting. which is a sort after procedure. Back to basics means firming and remodeling the skin from within. That is a both a way to rejuvenate your outward appearance while energizing your body.

To achieve both health and a youthful appearance, it is essential to avoid certain substances, and add others. The ones you need are the foods that supple abundant vitamins, minerals, and enzymes. These counteract the damaging effects on tissues, and retard aging.

Plenty of vegetables, fruits, protein, and the right fats will reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes while keeping you looking young. You reflect what you consume, in other words today’s breakfast, lunch, and dinner could be tomorrows look.

Researches have found a pancreatic cancer soda connection. There is a new study that found consuming two or more soft drinks (soda) a week, had about a two-fold higher risk of developing pancreatic cancer. All it took was two plus soft drinks in a week’s time. Will many people consuming two plus soft drinks a day, health care will have a run for their money.

Study

This study was published in the February issue of Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research.

Senior author Dr. Mark Pereira, associate professor at the School of Public Health at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis and colleagues, followed over 60,000 Singapore-based men and women for over a decade. They found that the people who consumed two or more soft drinks developed pancreatic cancer at two times more that those who did not consume soft drinks.

“Singapore is a wealthy country with excellent health care. Favorite pastimes are eating and shopping, so the findings should apply to other western countries.” stated Dr. Pereira.

What is intriguing is that after adjusting for other lifestyle factors, it was found that people who drank two or more soft drinks a week (average of 5 per week) had a higher chance of developing this disease.

There was no risk associated with the consumption of fruit juice.

Reality Check

Anyone drinking 5 sodas a week is not practicing good health habits in other areas. Carbonation along with sugar is a deadly combination. Both independent of each other cause problems.

The carbonation in soft drinks deplete calcium and causes a nutritional deficiency in that mineral. Carbonation irritates the stomach. The cure for the irritation is to find an antacid, and that is the calcium in the body. It takes it from where it can get it, from places in the body that depend on it. That is one reason osteoporosis is on the rise.

Soft drinks contain phosophoric acid, and this causes other problems related to calcium loss

The sugar in soft drinks is dissolved in liquid, and it quickly makes its presence known. The pancreas goes into overdrive. Now the pancreas pumps out plenty of insulin.

Interesting Facts

Teenagers and children are the largest consumers of soda pop. Studies have shown that teenage boys can drink three plus cans per day and girls can drink at least two cans per day.

Soda comes in an aluminum can, and aluminum is able to bind with both calcium and phosphoric acid and is excreted through the urine.

Calcium can improve signaling within cells and cause cancer cells to differentiate and/or die. What that is saying it can cause them to revert to healthy cells.

Sugar or glucose is the food of cancer cells.

Analysis

All the real time studies by credible scientist and validated data will not change anything. The soft drink industry’s public relation campaigns and targeted ads will keep the soft drink bubble going.
