AVOID THESE 8 HABITS

Often, we are attracted to products that will help us slow down the aging process, such as anti-aging skin care. But what about taking a proactive approach to staying young by AVOIDING habits that ACCELERATE the aging process?

When you read the Fox News article , overall, none of this should be new to you by now, except #8. That might be a surprise. But the two habits that you have the most control over are #3 and #4. 

  • “A nutrient deficient diet has been shown to accelerate aging, experts agree.” That’s why we need to supplement. Several essential minerals are missing from our food these days.
  • “A diet high in processed foods, sugars and unhealthy fats can cause inflammation, damage collagen and accelerate skin aging.” A recent study claims that eating a hotdog reduces life expectancy by 38 minutes, and eating salmon could extend it by 70 minutes. So it’s a good idea to watch how often you eat processed foods
  • “Lack of exercise contributes to aging by causing muscle loss, bone density reduction, weight gain and cardiovascular issues.” No surprise here. We all have been repeatedly told exercise is foundational to our health—so what will be you’re exercise of choice. Mine is rowing..

Which habit can you most easily improve upon?

What a gorgeous Spring day to be able to get outside and get some steps in! There’s a nice cool breeze blowing, birds are singing, the squirrels are running around and I smell the jasmine blooming. Walking always helps clear my mind and I know it’s good for my health. Make it a great day.

In The News:

Brain Aging Reversed by almost 3 Years.

A recent clinical study showed that biological brain aging was reversed among participants who were in a nutritional supplement program for 13 months.

In the study, participants were assigned to take a tailored program of supplements that included (but not limited to)

  • Vitamins A, B Complex, C and D
  • Alpha-Lipoic Acid 
  • CoQ10
  • Magnesium 
  • Omega 3 Fatty Acids 
  • Zinc 
  • Probiotics 

Using a quantitative electroencaphalogram, brain biologial age was estimated before and after the program. Participants who consumed the supplements had a brain biological age that averaged 2.83 years younger that the age measured at the beginning of the study.

You are going to see more studies regarding reverse aging, which is very exciting!

Another Case for Vitamin D:

Overactive Bladder Improvement 

Studies prove theres an association between higher Vitamin D levels and a lower risk of overactive bladder or urinary incontinence.

Participants who were vitamin D deficient had over four times the odds of overactive bladder and a 30% greater risk of incontinence compare with those who were not deficient.

Are you reading your labels? Maybe you should!

At the beginning of this year, the USDA established some new rules for labeling on controversial modified crops and ingredients. Previously, these rules varied state by state and now there is a more universal approach to labeling “BE’s”.

Simply put, bioengineered food is any food that’s been genetically modified, or GMO’s. Below is a small taste of some of our food supply that has been are genetically modified/bioengineered, but I could post dozens of foods.

These actually say that they are BE in tiny letters but many others don’t. They can just put a BE seal, a QR code that you have to scan or a phone number. 

Most children’s cereals, PopTarts, Campbell’s Chicken Noodle Soup, Dannon Light & Fit yogurt, 

Believe it or not, even Argo Baking Powder has bioengineered ingredients in it.

This is a controversial subject. Some feel strongly about it, while the government will tell you GMO’s are safe.

Poor digestion and bloating

Just because …..

  • Breast cancer doesn’t run in your family
  • You don’t have the BRCA gene
  • You get your annual mammogram

doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do everything you can to PREVENT Breast Cancer.

Steps you can take to prevent breast cancer are:

  • Eliminate or limit alcohol
  • Commit to healthy diet (Avoid fatty meats and highly processed foods, cut out sugar, )
  • Regular Exercise (300 min of intense physical activity/wk)
  • Don’t smoke

Excess body weight, physical inactivity, poor nutrition and alcohol responsible for about 18 percent of all new cancer cases in the U.S. Prevention is key!

Did you Know?

Your health may be at stake.

Did you know European countries have banned more than one thousand chemicals which we, in the USA, still use every day? Are you okay with using chemicals which have been proven to be the cause of skin conditions, breathing problems, allergies, diabetes, and cancer?

Major manufacturing companies are not always focused on your health and safety.

A lot of people say they’d like to get in more exercise, but can’t seem to find the time.
Often, it’s just that you don’t feel like taking the time to go to the gym, or going for a run or a swim.
It’s work. You have to change your clothes, You’ll get sweaty. Then you need to shower and change back.
If there was only an easier way…

There is. Just walk more. You can add more walking or steps to your day simply by making a few simple changes
to your routine.

If you have a dog, you can take them on longer walks. By adding a few extra minutes or blocks to your daily walks,
you will increase your exercise and both you and your dog will benefit.

When running errands, you can park your car a little further away from entrances, Parking further away from the
entrances with give you additional steps. Walking to the mailbox will also help give you added benefits.

So how does walking benefit you?

• Walking 75 minutes each week can add two years to your life

• Walking for 40 minutes three times per week will protect your braine’s memory

• Walking 60 minutes every day can cut obesity risk by half!

The best part is that walking doesn’t need to be done all at once in the day, it’s cumulative.

is easy to fit into your schedule. There is no need to change clothes, all you need is a decent pair
of comfortable, supportive shoes to do your best walking.
