Anti-Aging Information

“If you want things to stay as they are, things will have to change…”

The fountain of youth may not be a reality, but new research is pointing the way for us to live longer and stay healthier. With a few simple lifestyle changes, you can feel and look better.

ant-aging2Outsmart your genes

Experts say longevity is 30 % genetics and 70 % lifestyle. Behavior is important then. Exercising, eating well, not smoking, avoiding environmental toxins and maintaining a stable emotional state all impact lifespan. Understanding the benefits and risks of your own lifestyle choices can help you beat the odds.

Reduce pounds to add years:

Obesity contributes to many chronic conditions including heart disease and type 2 diabetes. Anti-aging research is focusing on the link between caloric restriction and longevity. Even a modest weight gain shortens lifespan.

ant-aging3Exercise to stay young:

Long-term studies have shown that being active cuts the risk of premature death by about 50 %.
Aerobic exercise improves immune function and lowers blood pressure Exercise improves mental conditioning: A recent study showed that aerobic exercise increases brain function in older adults. It also triggers endorphins (the body ‘s natural opiates ), enhancing joy and counteracting depression.

Start anytime:

Research shows that even when people 65 or over increased their physical activity, they still reaped the benefits for years afterward.

Eat for Health

fruit

An anti-aging diet is rich in foods that are “alive “, rather than packaged or processed.

Antioxidants

Certain vitamins and nutrients can act as antioxidants to counteract age-related damage to the heart, arteries and other tissues. Broccoli, blueberries, garlic are just example of well-known anti-aging nutrients. Another powerful antioxidant, EGCG, is found in Green Tea.

Healthy Fats

Studies have suggested that foods with Omega-3 fatty acids can reduce the risk of heart attack as well as help prevent dementia. Include fish in your diet as much as possible, and reduce red meat.

A Daily Drink

Resveratrol, a compound found in red wine, has been shown to promote longer life in lab mice. Enjoy that glass of red wine daily, just like the French!

  • Reduce Stress

Untitled-3

Constant tension increases the strain on the heart and blood vessels, lower the response of the immune system, and keeps blood sugar high, increasing the risk of type 2 diabetes. Cortisol, the adrenal hormone involved in stress responses, creates memory loss in the short run. Try relaxation techniques, meditation, or regular time-outs during which you practice deep breathing. Plan activities that are fun and make you laugh. Talk out your problems with someone you trust. Get a good night’s sleep. Regular exercise is a natural tranquilizer.

e3Make connections

Research has shown that those who remain flexible, curious, and open to new experiences age better than those who don’t. Challenging our own assumptions-which, just like our joints, tend to stiffen with age-is good for us.

People who are connected to those around them-thru marriage, a circle of friends, a spiritual community, or other networks-tend to have longer lifespans than those without strong social ties. Stay vibrant and engaged throughout life, and you will feel younger forever!
