Slow Down the Aging Process Now With All-Natural Solutions!

If you're in your 40s, 50s, 60s or 70s... you may be experiencing heart problems, joint pain, blood sugar imbalance, vision problems, memory loss or muscle fatigue. Your doctor may have chalked these symptoms up to "old-age". And just like millions of Americans, you may have turned to dangerous prescription drugs or risky surgical procedures to help slow down the effects of aging. But, medical science has now shown that many of these health problems can be improved and may even be able to be REVERSED...

One of the main causes of aging is free radical damage. These rogue molecules can lead to dozens of health problems. By controlling free radical damage, you can help slow down aging... help prevent illness... and protect your body's energy storehouse.

Block DNA and RNA function—DNA is the "blueprint" that tells your cells how to act... duplicate... and even how to repair itself. RNA transmits the information in the DNA to your cells. Free radicals can damage both DNA and RNA communication—causing your cells to malfunction and even self-destruct.Plus, free radical damage can also:

• Release dangerous cholesterol in your bloodstream—When fat molecules such as cholesterol get oxidized, they become sticky. That means they can clog up your arteries and set the stage for future heart and brain problems.
• Quickly drain your energy—Free radicals release a toxic waste matter called lipofuscins. This yellowish-brown cell debris can interfere with your body's ability to metabolize protein—your #1 source of energy.
• Trigger joint pain and muscle aches—An overproduction of free radicals in a specific area can cause inflammation.
• Prematurely age your skin—Free radicals destroy delicate collagen that keeps your skin soft, smooth and flexible. If you've got age spots on your hands or face, that's a tell-tale sign you've got free radical damage.

The truth is you can't get away from free radicals. The very process of breathing creates these destructive molecules. What's more, foods... environmental pollutants... toxins... and even stress can trigger "hits" from free radicals.

Fortunately, Mother Nature gives us remarkably safe and effective solutions to help clobber pesky free radicals. They're called antioxidants:

• Phosphatidylserine (PS for short)—proven incredibly effective for age-related memory loss in 60 human studies and over 2,800 scientific papers... PS helps restore a more youthful memory and helps sharpen thinking and reasoning ability...
• Vinpocetine is natures powerful memory enhancer that works by expanding your blood vessels to allow healthy blood flow to the brain and gingko biloba helps boost memory, improve concentration and fight off mental fatigue...
• Omega-3 is the powerful anti-inflammatory oil that helps lubricate your brain cells to keep them working at peak capacity and DMAE can help scrape away and remove harmful lipofuscins that cause brain "rust"....
• Folic acid—helps protect your veins, arteries and capillaries supplying blood to your brain and your entire body...
• CDP choline—is one of the basic building blocks for brain function...
• Acetyl-L-carnitine—helps boost energy levels to your entire body...
• Alpha lipoic acid, L-glutathione, vitamin C and
  vitamin E—these antioxidants help "switch off" faulty DNA before it can trigger health problems...
• Plus, quercetin, selenium, hesperidin and RNA—boost memory recall and brain function... reduce damage from stress... allow your brain cells to "talk" to one another more effectively... and slow your total body aging to a crawl.

By adding these and other powerful antioxidants to your daily regimen, you can expect to feel and look younger for decades to come!

How Lack Of Sleep Can Effect How You Age and what you can do about it

Lack of sleep doesn't just affect your energy levels, concentration and focus through out the day. It has been shown in many studies like the  University of Chicago one that it actually alters hormones and metabolism as well which simulate effects of aging.

They found that cutting back from the standard eight down to four hours of sleep each night produced striking changes in glucose tolerance and endocrine function--changes that resembled the effects of advanced age or the early stages of diabetes--after less than one week.

Most of these studies are only done on short term effects but no none really knows how will effect you over the long term. Although some research has speculated that it increases the risks for heart disease, high blood pressure and other related medical conditions. Especially if someone is exposed to chronic sleep disruptions.

With that being said what can we do about it. Ive compiled some tips to help you get some more ZZZZZZ's

The recommended sleep requirement for adults is between 7-9 hours a night. However, each person is different and it may change throughout their life.


The following tips will help any individual achieve a great night's sleep and feel rejuvenated for a new day:

• Stick to a sleep schedule: Try to go to bed and wake up at the same time each day.
• Avoid caffeine and nicotine: The stimulating effects of these products can prevent a sufficient night's sleep.
• No midnight snacking: The stimulating effects of these products can prevent a sufficient night's sleep.
• Sleeping Environment: The best sleeping environment is somewhere: dark, quiet, cool (67-68 degrees), with a comfortable sleeping surface and privacy (closed door/shut blinds).

Overall, proper sleeping habits are required in order for us to maintain good health and keep us functioning at our very best! 

Anti-Aging Drug Breakthrough

Drugs that combat aging may be available within five years.

Mar. 8, 2013 — Drugs that combat aging may be available within five years, following landmark work led by an Australian researcher.

The work, published in the March 8 issue of Science, finally proves that a single anti-aging enzyme in the body can be targeted, with the potential to prevent age-related diseases and extend lifespans.

The paper shows all of the 117 drugs tested work on the single enzyme through a common mechanism. This means that a whole new class of anti-aging drugs is now viable, which could ultimately prevent cancer, Alzheimer's disease and type 2 diabetes.

"Ultimately, these drugs would treat one disease, but unlike drugs of today, they would prevent 20 others," says the lead author of the paper, Professor David Sinclair, from UNSW Medicine, who is based at Harvard University. "In effect, they would slow aging."

The target enzyme, SIRT1, is switched on naturally by calorie restriction and exercise, but it can also be enhanced through activators. The most common naturally-occurring activator is resveratrol, which is found in small quantities in red wine, but synthetic activators with much stronger activity are already being developed.

Although research surrounding resveratrol has been going for a decade, until now the basic science had been contested. Despite this, there have already been promising results in some trials with implications for cancer, cardiovascular disease and cardiac failure, type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, fatty liver disease, cataracts, osteoporosis, muscle wasting, sleep disorders and inflammatory diseases such as psoriasis, arthritis and colitis (inflammatory bowel disease).

"In the history of pharmaceuticals, there has never been a drug that tweaks an enzyme to make it run faster," says Professor Sinclair, a geneticist with the Department of Pharmacology at UNSW.

The technology was sold to pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline in 2008[i]. Four thousand synthetic activators, which are 100 times as potent as a single glass of red wine, have been developed -- the best three are in human trials.

"Our drugs can mimic the benefits of diet and exercise, but there is no impact on weight," says Professor Sinclair, who suggests the first therapeutic to be marketed will be for diabetes.

There have been limited trials in people with type 2 diabetes and the skin inflammatory disease, psoriasis. There were benefits to the metabolism in the first group and a reduction in skin redness in the second.

The drugs can be administered orally, or topically. So far, there have been no drugs developed targeting aging skin, but one major skin care range has developed a crème with resveratrol in it.

While any drug would be strictly prescribed for certain conditions, Professor Sinclair suggests that one day, they could be taken orally as a preventative. This would be in much the same way as statin drugs are commonly prescribed to prevent, instead of simply treating, cardiovascular disease.

In animal models, overweight mice given synthetic resveratrol were able to run twice as far as slim mice and they lived 15 per cent longer.

"Now we are looking at whether there are benefits for those who are already healthy. Things there are also looking promising," says Professor Sinclair, who also heads the Lowy Cancer Research Centre's Laboratory for aging Research at UNSW.

"We're finding that aging isn't the irreversible affliction that we thought it was," he says. "Some of us could live to 150, but we won't get there without more research."

[i] Professor Sinclair formed a started up company Sirtris to develop the anti-aging technology. This was subsequently sold to GlaxoSmithKline (GSK). Professor Sinclair is now a scientific advisor to GSK. Several other authors on the paper work for GSK or an affiliated company.
