The Science of Aging
Anyone who has been to their 15– or 20–year high school reunion can see the obvious: some people age more slowly than others. Most of us, including most scientists, used to believe it was a matter of “good genes” or “not–so–good genes.” But a new theory is taking hold, garnering scientific support and an ever–growing body of evidence from researchers around the world. We now know that only about 35% of the aging process is actually controlled by your genes. The rest – the remaining 65% – can be largely controlled by YOU. You can shift your body's metabolism back to a more youthful state.
You can alter the way you age by increasing the body's natural regenerative ability, and decreasing the natural impairment that accompanies growing older. Not only can you stay afloat in your gene pool, you can effectively swim against the currents of aging.
That's the good news – but yes – there is a catch. Beginning at about 30, the new cells are NOT AS HEALTHY as the cells they are replacing.
How do you do that? By finding and feeding yourself the most powerful nutrients on the planet – entirely natural ‘super–foods’ that stimulate and support the body's miraculous ability to regenerate itself.
So what nutrients does your body need to achieve healthy aging, and when do you need them?
There are also three phases in the aging life cycle – birth to 20 years, 20–35 years, and 35 plus. You can be better at every age if you add the best possible sources of raw materials, energy and cell renewal signals at the appropriate stage of life.
Nutrients found in fruits, vegetables, and plants.
Imagine building a house with cardboard and twigs instead of stone and wood. The cheaper the raw materials you use, the quicker your house (your cells) will fall apart. When you add superior raw materials like “concentrated fruit extracts, super–green foods, herbs and other cell–nourishing nutraceuticals,” you are adding materials that are high in antioxidants and that help protect cells, enhance the body's ability to build and restore muscle, and promote cellular repair.
Nutrients that enhance the production of energy and give you a boost.
Imagine you've owned your house for some time. Without the proper maintenance it begins to wear down. So we need a constant source of energy to keep the house (your body) repaired and functioning well. After all, this is how your home will maintain its value for decades to come. It's the same for us when we see the normal effects of aging: fatigue, weight gain, poor skin tone, joint discomfort and dry, brittle hair. These are the signs of aging. The forces that can repair all that require energy. So this is a good time to add bioenergetic nutrients such as Pyridoxal–5–Phosphate, Niacin, Ornithine Alpha Ketoglutarate, CoQ10, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Acetyl–L–Carnitine and herbs such as Cordyceps, Ginseng and Rhodiola.
Nutritional support for better repair.
It's time to do some remodeling to your home (body). You buy the best raw materials – hardwoods, marble, incredible fixtures – and you have the materials dropped in your yard. The problem is you don't have a contractor on site to direct the work, so your materials rot. It can be like that when we're over 35. The production of natural hormones is on a steep decline, and the body is not sure what to do with raw materials and the energy it has been getting. Essentially, our renewal signals are weakening. But there is an answer. Supplementing the cell renewal signal can safely and effectively amplify your declining repair signals. It's like hiring a contractor. It helps us continue to perform at the highest level possible.
Even if you eat a “healthy, well-balanced diet,” there are important elements missing. Why? Our soil is badly depleted. How can plants take up nutrients that are no longer there? Many nutrients have been removed from our foods by processing and selective breeding.
