In 1996, William Regelson and Carol Colman (The Super-Hormone Promise) wrote...
"Science has actually demonstrated that we humans have the capacity to live twelve decades. The reason that we almost never achieve this full life span is that we have not known how to stop the aging process, which leaves us vulnerable to diseases that rob us of our strength - and ultimately of our full life expectancy."
The new field of longevity medicine is focused on turning back the clock for men and women – and scientists are already revealing amazing new anti-aging techniques that are simple, do-able, and can help you live a longer life in much better health!
The following are 5 Breakthroughs That Will Add Decades to Your Life (see Billie's notes after each breakthrough):
1. Eat less -- Make every meal count by getting high-quality nutrients, especially protein; watch your starches. And don’t overindulge. Imagine waking up feeling energetic, alive and hungry...that's what happens when you didn't overeat the night before! My favorite light evening meal is a protein shake, made with a few berries and water. Try it; I'm sure you'll like the feeling!
2. Exercise -- Physical activity can prevent or delay the onset of hypertension, obesity, heart disease, falls, and osteoporosis. When you eat right, you have the energy for intense physical activity. It feels so great to just go for it - running in the neighborhood, jamming on the elliptical, or pumping some iron! Put on your headphones, play that funky music, and let it rip!
3. Add antioxidants –- Antioxidants help prevent free-radical damage. Best food sources of antioxidants are: berries (dog rose, sour cherry, blackberry, strawberry, raspberry, crowberry, blueberry, black currant), walnuts, sunflower seeds, pomegranate, and ginger. Eat foods that are rich in antioxidants whenever you can. Read on and I'll discuss supplementation.
4. Take vitamin C -- At least 1,000 mg twice a day. Best food sources of vitamin C are: guava, red sweet pepper, kiwi, orange, green pepper, strawberries, brussel sprouts, cantelope, papaya, broccoli, and sweet potato. Eat foods that are rich in vitamin C whenever you can. Read on and I'll discuss supplementation.
5. Add CoQ10 -- CoQ10 has been called the Wonder Nutrient. It is your armor against heart disease. High CoQ10 and low homocysteine levels are huge factors in keeping you out of the hospital. CoQ10 is a naturally-occuring compound found in every cell in the body. CoQ10's alternate name, ubiquinone, comes from the word ubiquitous, which means "found everywhere." CoQ10 plays a key role in producing energy in the mitochondria, the part of a cell responsible for the production of energy in the form of ATP. As we age though, our CoQ10 levels naturally decrease.
Supplementation:
Proteins, carbohydrates, fats, and vitamins are an essential part of the body's metabolic processes, playing a vital role in its enzyme systems. Deficiencies in any of these essential nutrients can have serious implications on our health, so to maintain optimum health we need to ensure that our bodies always have an adequate supply of these important substances.
Because the body is unable to manufacture most vitamins by itself, we need to ingest them from outside sources. Ideally, we should obtain these vitamins from consuming a healthy diet consisting of a wide variety of foods.
But modern life has conspired to interfere with the quality of the foodstuffs that are available to us today. A recent Canadian study shows that the nutritional value of our fruits and veggies has decreased dramatically in the last 50 years.
As Tim Lang, a professor at the Centre for Food Policy in London explains: "We have to eat eight oranges today to get the same amount of vitamin A our grandparents got from a single orange."
There is a direct correlation between the declining nutritional value of our food and the growing prevalence of certain illnesses, and the medical community is beginning to suggest that we take action.
In an article published in 2002, the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) states that, "...it appears prudent for all adults to take vitamin supplements."
Regarding the anti-aging suggestions above, I have the following supplements available for free shipping throughout North America:
Protein Powder
It doesn't have to taste bad to be good for you...I started using this protein many years ago because it tasted great! For some reason, it's hard to get my clients to consistently eat something that tastes bad...I wonder why! This protein mixes up beautifully with water and a few berries, for a fantastic breakfast, a mid-day snack, or a light evening meal.
Antioxidants
Super Cell is a world class antioxidant, rich in Beta carotene, vitamin C, and vitamin E. It includes Pycnogenol and green tea.
Vitamin C
BetaC is an enhanced C complex product with 19 different nutrients in the formula. Most importantly, the daily dose equals 2000mg of vitamin C.
CoQ10
Coenzyme Q10+ is a unique formula that combines CoQ10 and vitamin E to deliver maximum support for energy production, cardiovascular function, and antioxidant protection. It also contains Quercetin, known for its anti-inflammatory properties.
