Destroying the Myth of Aging

December 20, 2004 by alsearsmd in Anti-Aging

Overcome the Myths about Aging
Health Alert #232

 

Although you’re getting older, you don’t have to accept all the negative effects of aging. Anti-aging is rightfully a hot topic among the health-conscious. But there has been a lot of bad information. Most people know very little about what really happens as you age that you can change.

Today we’re going to test your anti-aging IQ and look at six proven ways to defy specific aspects of the aging process.

* Test Your Anti-Aging IQ*

Are you an anti-aging Einstein? Let’s find out. Answer the following questions True or False:1

  1. Age-related memory impairment (ARMI) is an inevitable consequence of old age.
  2. Sexual urges and activity normally cease around age 65 to 70.
  3. If a person has been smoking for 30 or more, it does no good to quit.
  4. The vast majority of elders aren’t self-sufficient.
  5. Elders are more prone to falling as a direct consequence of their age.
  6. When you reach a certain age, it’s better if you don’t exercise.
  7. As you grow older you need more calories to stay healthy.
  8. There’s no such thing as a treatment that can reverse any symptom of aging.

Give yourself 5 points for every question you answered ‘False.’ The answer to every one of these questions is false. How did you do? If you didn’t score a perfect 40, you should know a few things…

*Turn Back the Clock & Defy Aging*

In the last few years, Anti-Aging medicine has made significant progress. We have found how to block and reverse many of the declines. Defying age like this is a necessity if you’re going to live your life and not just exist as you get older.

So where do you begin? Here is my simple six-step plan to get started.

1) Eat fewer calories and you’ll stay younger longer.2 (see Health Alert 34, Health Alert 139). Build your meals around protein. Eat eggs, fish or grass-fed beef (see Health Alert 222).

2) Take a daily multi-vitamin with Vitamins A, B6, C, D, E, and Calcium, Phosphorous, Zinc, Niacin and Magnesium (see Health Alert 15).

3) Take antioxidants to fight oxidation. I’ve seen patients who look and feel decades younger because of high levels of antioxidants in their blood. I recommend taking a mixed antioxidant with Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Coenzyme-Q 10, Lutein, Lycopene. (see Health Alert 36).

4) Keep your age-promoting homocysteine low in your body. Have your doctor measure your blood level. Shoot for a level below eight. You can lower homocysteine with Folic Acid, Riboflavin and TMG (trimethylglycine) (see Health Alert 30).

5) Use effective exercise. Strength and flexibility training is necessary no matter what your age. Walking stairs is a great anti-aging workout, so are traditional calisthenics (see Health Alert 98, Health Alert 156). You’ll also need a cardio program. Any cardio workout should consist of short bursts or else you’re doing more harm than good. Try my PACE program (See Health Alert 228).

6) Finally, don’t forget the most powerful tool to turn back the clock on aging, HGH (human growth hormone). It can increase energy, enhance sexual performance, build muscle and bone, eliminate wrinkles, enhance immune function and mood, and improve cholesterol and vision3 (see Health Alert 46).

The sooner you start an anti-aging plan the sooner you can put the brakes on aging and regain some of your youthful characteristics. For more help putting all of these five elements of your anti-aging plan into action (see Health Alert 47).

To Your Good Health,
