Anti Aging Health Care

Anti aging? Anti means opposed to, we can't oppose Aging it's going to happen. Instead lets embrace it and understand how we can age in health. I don't want my last years fighting what we can't stop. I want to learn what to eat, think and do to make them the best.

There is a big market for Anti aging stuff, it sounds like a battle, Folks your going to lose, how about aging graceful, healthy. I'm surprised they haven't come up with anti death vitamins.

I know you guys, you will still try to "anti the age" so lets look at some things that will help:

Proanthocyanidins and Vitamin C - deserve their stellar reputations as antioxidants that quench free radicals and potentiate other antioxidants. When working together the proantho increased the span vitamin C could stay in our system by 400 percent. Proanthocyanidins was discovered in 1936 by Professor Jacques Masquelier and called Vitamin P. Of course they dropped the Vitamin P and went with the longer word nobody could spell.

DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) is an adrenal hormone that is the precursor for steroid hormones such as testosterone and estrogen. DHEA declines precipitously with advancing age in both men and women. DHEA became credible to the medical establishment when the New York Academy of Sciences published a book entitled DHEA and Aging. This book provided scientific validation for the many life extending effects of DHEA.

Testosterone the hormonal stimulus for sex drive in both men and women. Testosterone declines with advancing age in both sexes. It plays an important role in maintaining muscle mass, strength and bone density. The hormone is administered to both men and women as a cream, supplements or injectable.

Melatonin is a hormone produced by the pineal gland. Melatonin is a highly potent antioxidant, which has been described as the pacemaker of the aging clock in humans. It is released every night to help induce sleep and recuperation from fatigue.

Folic Acid, Vitamin B6 and Vitamin B12

Cardiovascular disease, the number-one killer of men and women, claims the lives of almost 40% of the more than 2.4 million Americans who die each year. Today, about 64 million Americans have some form of cardiovascular disease. Homocysteine is a cardiovascular risk factor as well as low-density lipoprotein (LDL). Homocysteine can make blood clot increasing the risk of both heart attack and death by heart attack. Inadequate levels of folic acid and vitamins B6 and B12 can lead to increased homocysteine levels.

Now that you know some of the elements that will support aging on the inside, lets look at some things that will make us look Younger on the outside.
