Anti Aging Is it Really Possible?

Anti Aging - Is it Really Possible?
By Yola Orlowska

There are two schools of thought here. One group made up of health practitioners, scientists and manufacturers who strongly believe that anti aging is possible and mainstream medical providers who believe that fighting the aging process is pointless.

Let's look at both sides of the debate.

Mainstream medicine employs a rather limited, narrow point of view by refuting that nothing can be done to expand our lifetime here on Earth. I think it's reasonable to say that we now know that regular cardiovascular exercise and eating a healthy diet can make a significant difference to your health and your appearance.

Sleeping is another. Getting enough sleep is pivotal in the fight against aging. During sleep, cells regenerate, DNA is repaired and our natural growth hormone is produced and released.

Bet you didn't know you could do so much with your eyes closed.

Smoking. Kick the habit. Not only does it damage precious brain cells, it also dries out your skin. I was a smoker for 18 years and quit 11 years ago. If I can do it, so can you.

Alcohol. Moderate your consumption. We all know the dehydration that's associated with drinking, which can lead to your complexion looking old, tired and ruddy.

Now we have the other faction that believes that exercise and nutrition are important to the anti aging process. Great! However, it all falls apart after this by the promotion of products and or procedures that

~ paralyse your facial muscles by the injection of poisons into your muscle tissue

~ the use of fillers to mask wrinkles

~ stem cell injections foetal tissue extract in a syringe.

These procedures are dangerous not to mention some of which are plain unethical.

The thought of tissue extract from aborted and sometimes stolen babies being injected into me make me physically sick. How would you feel?

Face it, these treatments are simply an expensive cover up and after a few of them, you'll start to look a little odd.

These kind of tactics can be likened to painting a car with signs of rust. Just because you can no longer see the rust, doesn't mean it isn't there, eating away at your car underneath that fancy paint job.

Real anti aging solutions are at your fingertips. Practice healthy eating habits, exercise, avoid toxic substances and use natural products that will work over a period of time instead of opting for instant gratification.

Nourish, nurture and care for your most prized possession and it will reward you with glowing health for the rest of your life.

AntiAging Part 17 Get Ready to Keep the Routine but Change the Boss

Anti-Aging - Part 17 Get Ready to Keep the Routine but Change the Boss
By Patricia Little

Genuine anti-aging requires a routine signifying a change of respect.

Routine surrounding the original early start and methodical timing of preparation was focussed on the peaceful but definite outcomes of the Upcoming day. There was an awareness of the necessity to ensure the heart and mind be in the best possible order for completion of tasks assigned around external short lived needs.

Each was to be completed ensuring a smooth and positive outcome for a boss that may not have verbalized a standard. This was automatically acquired through the giving of highest quality brain power, behaviour and commitment coming from the respect given.

The new lifestyle after the daily or regular job conclusion must evolve around a pattern that still offers that level of commitment although the work pattern has changed somewhat.

Knowledge of food requirements, tastes, preferences, speed of consumption, bloating, constipation and an array of descriptions previously given little priority should now be dealt with. The previous level of respect must be maintained now that the new boss is the wonderfully made creation living inside.

Especially pleased will be the new Managing Director or original Creator of the machinery who has been unable to pour out the intenDed blessings whilst His machinery was not being cared for according to the rule book.

Wrinkles Be Gone Anti Aging Skin Care

Wrinkles Be Gone - Anti Aging Skin Care
By Gail Leino

Anti Aging Skin Care is a much sought after and discussed subject for the young and the old. It known that there are two types of skin aging, intrinsic (internal) and extrinsic (external). Intrinsic is caused by the natural aging process.

Our collagen production starts slowing down in our twenties, and dead skin cells don't shed as quickly while new skin cells aren't being made as quickly. Signs of Intrinsic aging are fine wrinkles, thin/transparent skin, loss of underlying fat, sagging skin, dry/itchy skin, inability to sweat as much, thinning nails, gray hair and hair loss. Extrinsic factors are things in our environment that cause premature aging of the skin, UV rays, gravity, stress, repetitive facial expressions, smoking, pollution and even our sleeping position can contribute to premature aging.

Deep wrinkles and leathery skin on the neck and face are signs of overexposure to the sun. The best way to prevent this is to be obsessive about wearing products containing sunscreen, whether it's skin lotion or make up. Also avoid spending long periods of time in the direct sunlight. Smoking causes changes in our bodies that speed up aging. People as young as twenty can have microscopic wrinkling on the face and after a period of time deeply wrinkled, yellowish, leather skin can develop. Hint, stop smoking.

Taking supplements with Vitamins A, E, and C can help your body maintain healthy skin. A clay facial mask once a week removes impurities from the surrounding environment, and helps to soothe the skin reducing redness and dry patches and lifting away dead skin cells. Using an astringent like witch hazel will help to tighten skin and close pores. Regularly applying lotion keeps skin drenched in the moisture it needs to carry on biological processes.

5 Tips to Avoid Damaging Your Antiques

5 Tips to Avoid Damaging Your Antiques
By Martin Swinton

Youve bought a great antique. Now what? Heres what you need to know to avoid damaging your newfound treasures.

1. Ignoring Effects of Relative Humidity

Todays central heating wreaks havoc on antiques. Its the fluctuations in relative humidity caused by central heating that results in real damage.

Wood responds to relative humidity by expanding and contracting as it tries to maintain a balance with its environment. Its not the rapid changes during the course of a day that cause the most damage. Its the long-term seasonal fluctuations, which cause the serious damage.

During the dry winter months when it is cold outside and warm inside, wood tends to shrink. During hot damp summers when it is warm outside and cooler inside, wood tends to expand. Long-term exposure to these conditions leads to cracking, warping and splitting.

To guard against the fluctuations in relative humidity in your home, use a humidifier during the dry winter and a dehumidifier in the damp summer. Think twice before putting quality furniture in the basement, attic, near heating vents or next to your fireplace. Keep fresh air circulating. Maintain a constant room temperature and turn it down at night.

2. Overlooking Impact of Sunlight

Just as sun damage to the skin is cumulative and permanent, its effects on wood are equally destructive. Diffused sunlight over a long period of time can be as harmful as direct sunlight over a short period of time. Sunlight can turn a clear finish yellow. The only good news about sun damage is that its easy to avoid. Draw the drapes, pull the blinds or have an UV-filtering film applied to your windows.

3. Thinking You Are an Accomplished Furniture Restorer

Unless you are an expert furniture restorer, dont attempt to repair broken legs, burn marks or other damage. Inexperienced individuals can strip off patina causing irreversible damage. Leave restoration to professionals. In the long run, it is worth the investment.

4. Over Cleaning Antiques

Remember that less is more when cleaning antiques. Every couple of months, treat your wood furniture a good quality paste wax that can be found in any hardware store. Waxing too often can dull a finish and attract dust. Avoid aerosol spray polishes because they can contain silicone and other agents that can be harmful to your furniture.

For daily cleaning, use a clean cloth or a clean duster. For those who like to use something more, I recommend Orange Oil by Howard Products because it cleans and polishes wood finishes very well. Orange Oil is one of my favourites because it does not leave a wax build-up, and contains neither linseed nor silicone.

5. Rough-Handing Your Antiques

Some repairs to antique furniture can be avoided with more considerate care. Dont lean back on antique chairs or pick them up from the back of the chair, rather lift front and back together. This type of handling coupled with the effects of relative humidity and a chair back may result in your chair back becoming unhinged, requiring repair. Avoid scratches and water damage by using coasters.

The Best AntiAging Supplement Exercise!

The Best Anti-Aging Supplement - Exercise!
By Sagi Venkata Ramana

All of us chart our age according to our official birth certificates. But consider this: apart from certain cells in our eyes and brains every part of our body is constantly renewing itself. This means we should feel younger and younger. But more often than not, we even feel older than that!

There are several reasons for this mismatch between our chronological (certified) and biological age. For one, the rate of renewal begins to chug slowly down even after we turn 25 years.

Some Drastic Changes:

Muscle tone is less. This means we are less efficient at utilizing all that stored up energy. So we become fatter even as our muscles become slacker.

Memory loss is on a subtle but definite downswing. The white coating of nerve cells is wearing out, biting into our reaction and recall abilities.

Ageing skin is a fact. It loses its moisture-retaining capacity, causing wrinkles. Bones are shrinking inside, providing less support.

The elasticity of collagen, which gives that nice firm support, is also wearing out.

Pain is felt more. Because collagen is becoming thinner, giving a less cushioning effect. Bone density is less, meaning it is more prone to fractures. Healing takes longer. Nutrient absorption is also hit, so repair is again compromised.

Hormones are winding up. Glands are beginning to shut their taps. We suffer this as chronic fatigue, less interest in sex, lack of enthusiasm in most things and more susceptibility to infections.

Escaping The Age TRAP:

Exercise is the only way to restore and retain our muscle tone. This also makes our bones denser, helping them store minerals.

Pain management becomes easier. Exercise also improves the tone of arteries, so that they can more efficiently transport blood to all the minute neglected parts of the body. This helps the skin retain its youthful bloom. Improved blood circulation, through exercise.

This facilitates transport of nutrients, fuel and oxygen and removal of waste, so we look younger. Resistance training doing weights, machines, intermediate and advanced yoga postures all help.

Keeping yourself actively engaged, with social work, hobbies and friends would help in keeping your brain younger.

Even though neurons or brain cells are bound to die, we can help the remaining nerve cells by building fresh connections, by keeping ourselves mentally stimulated.

The Next Generation of AntiAging Products is HGH + Velvet Deer Antler

The Next Generation of Anti-Aging Products is HGH + Velvet Deer Antler
By Michael Harvey

Everyone knows the benefits of HGH, Human Growth Hormone, as a fantastic anti-aging potion. But the next generation of anti-aging products is including Velvet Deer Antler. What exactly is Velvet Deer Antler and why is it so important?

Velvet Deer Antler is the closest thing, in terms of molecular structure, to IGF-1, Insulin Growth Factor, that biologists have been able to find. IGF-1 is what produces the anti-aging effects sought out by everyone over thirty years old. IGF-1 is the most important growth factor that is produced. You can think of HGH as the hormone that gets the ball rolling, but IGF-1 does most of the work.

Homeopathic HGH puts just enough HGH into your system to get the body to trigger your liver into responding as if there were an increase in growth hormone into the system. The liver then produces IGF-1 in response and the body feels the effects of this IGF-1.

Increased Insulin-Like-Growth Factor (IGF-1) levels are used as an indicator of human growth hormone levels and can be measured. IGF-1 secretion is much more steady than that of growth hormone. Velvet Deer Antler mimics insulin-like-growth factor almost perfectly!

IGF-1 is a natural anabolic growth factor molecule and is a protein that promotes tissue growth, organ health, and healthy blood sugar levels. As we age and less Growth Hormone is released from the pituitary gland, there is a corresponding drop in IGF-1 levels, yet the bodies demand does not decrease. As IGF-1 levels decline, the vitality and physical exuberance of youth recedes, further contributing to the process and experience of aging.

So a majority of the rejuvenating effects of growth hormone is actually due to IGF-1 acting on its target cells. The major role of growth hormone in stimulating body growth is to stimulate the liver and other tissues to secrete IGF-1.

IGF-1 is a polypeptide compound produced from HGH (Human Growth Hormone). Thats why its so important to take a product that contains both HGH and Velvet Deer Antler. IGF-1 has been shown to increase the transport of amino acids into muscle cells throughout the body, thus regenerating these tissues after exercise. It provides the raw material needed to repair damage to the cells.

The next generation of homeopathic HGH products includes Velvet Deer Antler so that the liver is not relied upon to produce the IGF-1 effects. Most people feel an increase in energy, endurance, mental clarity, better digestion, more restful sleep, an increase in libido, and many other benefits.

One online retailer says that 90% of their regular users of HGH (without the IGF-1) switch over to the HGH with Velvet Deer Antler IGF-1. 10% dont notice any difference and stay with the less expensive HGH alone. Velvet Deer Antler is totally natural.

IGF-1 is currently listed by the FDA as an orphan drug. It is now illegal for manufacturers to provide it to any lab creating products for over-the-counter sales. Any retailer selling a product containing IGF-1 is doing so in violation of the law. However, homeopathic products are made from Velvet Deer Antler which mimics perfectly the same reaction from your body as if you were taking IGF-1. Deer Antler is completely legal for over the counter sales.

Michael Harvey is a retired professional athlete who has been in the nutritional industry since 1995. He has the most informative webpage on HGH at http://www.21stcenturyhgh.com which includes Velvet Deer Antler at http://www.21stcenturyhgh.com/hgh-plus-igf-1.htm A full discussion on the topic including scams and hijinx. The author maintains another very informative websites on health and nutrition located at http://www.nutritional-supplement-information.com
