stop the ageing process right now
03 March 2011
Give the body the right nutrition and it will combat many illnesses and deficiencies but not many of us actually do this - so what age do things start to drop off and go on the decline and what preventative steps can you take.
Supplements such as bee pollen, ginkgo and royal jelly can help, there are schools of thought that brain training games may help and those out there that say they have no benefit. But in a recent program a group of 'senior' celebs were given simple tasks to do to stretch them and they massively improved in all aspects.Our vote is keep active and keep learning.
Lungs
The lungs start to age at just 20 years old and by 40 breathlessness may be a problem
Weapons of choice
Aerobic exercise - exercise those lungs, whether it be walking, swimming, dancing, running find something you can do on a regular basis and DO IT!!!
This is partly because the muscles and the rib cage which controls breathing become stiff.
Supplements to help.
Bee pollen, aloe vera, vitamin C, garlic
Skin
The skin starts to show signs of ageing from the mid 20's and much as though this is inevitable as the levels of collagen and elastin diminish there is so much that we can do to slow down the process.
Weapons of choice
Most ageing is caused by the sun so protect, don't smoke and keep alcohol down to safe limits. Easy said on these factors but if you are out in the sun use a good sun cream and make sure that you use good skin care products.
Supplements for the skin
Good essential multivitamin/multimineral, essential fatty acids, glucosamine (found in collagen tablets) vitamins C & E.
Hair
The process of hair ageing typically starts around 30. Male pattern baldness however may start to occur earlier and there is a growing rise in the ever stressful climate for people to experience alopecia. Most will have some grey hairs by the age of 35 as the body begins to lose the capacity to produce melanin (pigment) in the follicle.
Weapons of choice.
Good quality shampoo and Satura® products have been shown to treat all manner of hair problems.
Supplements
Bee pollen, vitamin B group and general multivitamin/multimineral.
Muscles
Muscles generally start to diminish from the 30's and by the time we hit our 40's if we don't do something about it we lose between .05% and 2% of muscle bulk per year. This is a big factor in weight increase as the less muscle we have proportionately the less fat we burn.
Weapons of choice
Definitely something to work on with exercise to keep a good posture and keep burning the pounds.
Protein contributes to muscle building and particularly as a woman hits the menopause then reducing carbohydrates and having a little more protein can help in the battle to maintain weight.
Supplements
Glucosamine, vitamin C, good multivit/mineral
Bones
We think of the bones as being static but they are constantly being broken down and replaced. Children's bones repair quickly, hence they might be in a splint just a few weeks while an older person may take months for a break to mend. At 35 years old the renewal process starts to decline, this process of a bone renewing itself is called bone turnover, in a child it is around 2 years but it can take up to 10 years for this to happen as we get older.
Weapons of choice.
Gentle light weight bearing exercise to strengthen the bones, protein and calcium rich foods in the diet
Supplements
Calcium, glucosamine, vitamin C and general multivit/mineral
Teeth
Teeth - we forget about them until we have a problem, so look after them now!! From our 40's they start to deteriorate as we produce less saliva leaving the teeth exposed to decay. Gum disease can start much earlier if correct brushing techniques are not applied.
Weapons of action
Use a good toothbrush and pay regular visits to your dentist. Ensure your brushing technique is correct, floss and a mouthwash.
Supplements
A good multivitamin/mineral and vitamin C will help to keep the gums in good health.
Eyes Aging
The eyes start to deteriorate at 40 with many turning to reading specs from this point.
Weapons of choice
Eye exercises may help to strengthen focussing, apparently used by Paul McCartney.
Supplements
Heart Aging
This is the biggy! The Heart starts to age in the 40's as it's ability to pump becomes less effective and blood vessels lose their elasticity.This is because blood vessels losses elasticity.
Arteries can harden and become blocked as fatty deposits form in the coronary arteries, reducing blood flow to cause angina. Men over 45 and women over 55 are at a higher risk of suffering a heat attack.
Weapons of choice
Have a check up if you have any concerns and if ok, exercise, gentle aerobic exercise will benefit.
Reduce foods with hard fat in and replace with good oils, extra virgin olive oils, grapeseed.
Supplements
Essential fatty acids, grape seed extract, vitamin C and E, general multivit/mineral, garlic.
Garlic Thyme
Liver
LIVER – Well assuming we haven't pickled it the liver starts to age in our 70's - Wow! that's positive.
Weapons of action
A general detox is always good for the liver as it renews itself every 6 weeks.
Have a break from alcohol even if it is 1 day per week but a few days every month is good.
Drink water.
