Review # 2 – Anti-Aging Secrets

A Google search of anti-aging secrets turns up over 12 million websites. A review of some of those websites turning up on the first page of those results, generally cover the following anti-aging tips:

The Aging Process

• It is important to understand that aging is the result of internal and external factors. For example some internal factors are reduction in the body’s ability to produce hormones like the human growth hormone (hGH), and the reduced ability of cells over time to re-generate themselves.
• Some examples of external factors are stressful events and environments, as well as eating and drinking unhealthy foods. The internal and external factors cause decline in the efficiency of organs and loss of the following: skin elasticity, muscle mass, bone minerals and brain function.
• The result of understanding the aging process should inform our attitude toward aging. That is, we could adopt a positive, proactive attitude that could bring about peace of mind and an extended healthy life or a negative, depressing attitude that can make the process painful and miserable.

 

 
 
Diet

• Diets should focus on fruits and vegetables, whole grains, fat-free or low-fat milk and milk products, seafood, lean meats and poultry, eggs, beans and peas, nuts and seeds. (See USDA Policy Document entitled Dietary Guidelines for Americans, at the following link: http://www.cnpp.usda.gov/DGAs2010-PolicyDocument.htm)
• Get rid of ‘free radicals’ with antioxidant foods and dietary supplements. Foods that are rich in vitamins A, C, E and beta carotene help protect body and brain cells from free-radical damage. They slow down memory loss and reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease.

      Exercise Body And Brain
      • Regular physical exercise 2 or 3 times a week focusing on flexibility (stretches) cardiovascular training and strength is essential to maintain stamina, muscle strength and bone density as well as aerobic fitness.

       

      • Keeping your brain stimulated through, reading, study, memorising numbers and dates as well as socialising, holding discussions and playing chess can help the brain create new neural connections and cells. This will keep the brain healthy.

       
       
      Get Enough Sleep

      • Rest to facilitate recovery and growth. Six to eight hours sleep at night is recommended as adequate, you however need to avoid too many hours of sleep.

       

      • We can recommend a valuable resource for more information on brain and body exercises as well as how to prevent diseases associated with aging such as Alzheimer.
