If you don't take care of your body... Where will you live??
What does antiaging nutrition mean?
Why should we care?
What are the benefits of ensuring we have superior nutritional support?
Does it really matter now that we are "getting up there"?
You bet it does, and more now than ever before. As we age, oh ahem, I mean mature, our bodies struggle to maintain the some of the same levels of key nutrients to maintain a state of wellness that was easier to obtain when we were younger. Our need for nutritional energy is acute and is so important for baby boomer women in particular. Ensuring that we get a level of antiaging nutrition in our daily intake takes some thought, but in the long run well worth the effort...if we don't take care of our bodies, where will we live?!?

Hi, my name is Nancie, I am 56 years old and I have been taking Shaklee's resveratrol product (named Vivex)now for about twelve months, since it first came on the market in August 2008. I can tell you I absolutely feel a difference in my energy levels, my mood, and my endurance. I am regaining nerve sensations that were lost to me in my feet, I have/had chronic venous insufficiency that is clearing up with no further skin discoloration on my legs. I have heard of stories of "age spots" disappearing, nails and hair becoming healthier (this is true for me as well), eyesight improving. Regardless of these outer results of taking Vivex, I know what this nutrient is doing at a cellular level and how it is protecting, renewing and regenerating cells for longevity and vibrant health.
Dr. Sinclair, a co-author of more than 60 published articles on aging research, heads a research team of more than twenty post Doctorate students at Harvard Medical School and has this to say about the anti-aging effects of resveratrol:
"Over 70 years ago," Dr Sinclair said, "scientists discovered that a calorie restricted diet increases animal lifespan 30%....
We have found in our scientific studies that "Reseveratrol, a compound found in red wine, tricks cells to switch on the aging pathways, which in turn mimics the effect of calorie restriction."
"Resveratrol lowers the incidents of cancer, diabetes, alzheimers disease, and osteoporosis in animals."
Dr. Sinclair also said, study results show that resveratrol...
Lowers blood sugar levels, [especially] for type 2 Diabetics.
Improves memory and artery vessel walls
Lowers cholesterol (MIT study in 2007)
Slows down the aging of cells and molecules
Reduces the incidence of breast cancer and other forms of cancer.
Resveratrol is "the most potent natural molecule against cancer."(animal studies)
Reduces inflammation, and joint pain
Increases mito chondria in muscles (animal studies)
How exciting is that?
My day can last well over 12 hours, as I am sure yours can as well, and I am not experiencing the end of day fatigue I usually do. Energy levels stay constant throughout the day and into the evening. Sleep is deeper, and more restful, I wake up feeling clearer and wide awake as soon as I get up, I am very excited about this nutrient...stay tuned!
I intend to be one of those folks who lives well into their 100's and if not, at least I will be healthy and viable for the time I am here.
Another nutrient that is oh so overlooked until just recently is pro-biotics. The yogurt companies would like for you to believe that eating their product will take care of your pro-biotic needs, but there is more to it than that. The older we are, the more we must strive to maintain the good flora in our gut, that's just the way it is, we no longer have the flora we used to have. That is where a good majority of our immune system resides. Keeping our immune system healthy is a fantastic way to kick start our antiaging nutrition program. Since we are not producing probiotics internally as we once did, supplementation is key it ensuring we have what keeps us immune and healthy to whatever we come in contact with. One more bit of information; did you know that a pro-biotic needs a pre-biotic to work effectively?
The Standard American Diet is just that... we know it and we are ready to improve not only our health, but that of our family as well.
Being well informed and taking the lead (as Boomer Womem, we are fast becoming the matriarch's of our family clan) we can be agents for positive change. We can help our families achieve wellness and health as well as ensuring our own. In order to do that we must investigate what will help us stay in or acheive optimal health and wellness, we can create opportunities to achieve balance through antiaging nutrition in our daily lives.
At different points along the path of our lives, our nutrition needs change. What we may have needed at the age of 20 something is not what we need now. Our vitamin and nutrition levels shift and change just as out bodies are shifting and changing...what we see on the outside is what is also, for the most part going on in the inside! We are what we eat that is a fact, so our nutrition is key to our overall wellness and vitality. Focusing on antiaging nutrition at this time in our lives will make a huge difference as we age. Illness is not something I want to have happen as I age, and it doesn't need to happen.
Here are some facts:
The typical American diet is too high in saturated fat, sodium, and sugar and too low in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, calcium, and fiber. This is not antiaging nutrition! Such a diet contributes to four of the six leading causes of death and increases the risk of numerous diseases, including:
heart disease
diabetes
obesity
hypertension
stroke
osteoporosis
many cancers (colon, prostate, mouth, throat, esophagus, lung, stomach)
According to the USDA, improving our diets could prevent at least $71 billion per year in medical costs, lost productivity, and lost lives. That is an underestimate because it accounts for only diet-related coronary heart disease, stroke, cancer, and diabetes and not other diet-related diseases. Obesity alone is estimated to cost $117 billion, and osteoporosis costs $14 billion in medical expenses.
According to the CDC, state and federal governments spend one thousand times more to treat disease than to prevent it ($1,390 vs. $1.21 per person each year).
In addition to that the plant based foods; fruits,vegetables, grains available to most american's are sub-standard. Why? Because of modern farming practices that have scrubbed the fields and soils of esstenital nutrients, polluted them with pesticides and other chemicals, not to mention the fast growing effects of genetically modified foods that we have no real clue as to how it will effect humans down the road...so even if we are eating "right" we are not getting the same nutrition that we would have gotten say 40 or 50 years ago. One would need to eat 35 carrots of today to get the same vitamin value of one carrot grown and consumed 40 years ago.
The health and wellness of generation after generation is being effected by this crisis, our children and our children's children will be less and less healthy as the years go by. These are just the agricultural end of things... then there is harvesting, transportation, processing, packaging, etc. What little healthy nutriton that may be in these foods then gets sprayed on, irradiated, and processed out.
Organically grown is better, but the standards set for being organic only involves how a plant is grown, it does not address how it is transported, stored, and processed. Unfortunately that seal of approval is losing it's intented meaning and mark of assurance. Is that enough to convince us that we need nutritional help?
As a personal aside: Most Americans have no clue as to how their animal based protein sources are "created"...factory farming is a source of national shame, horrendous, cruel, inhumane, are some of the words that come to mind. I will not go into that as it is very emotional for me, and is for anyone who makes themselves informed, but suffice to say that the pastorial scenes of farm life for these animals has been a thing of the past for centuries.
Gandhi once said, "The greatness of a nation and its moral standards can be judged by the way its animals are treated"
we have a long way to go in this regard. My personal choice has been to become 90% vegetarian while choosing certified pasture raised poultry for the occasional meal. You will feel the difference in your sense of being when you become conscious and aware of what nourishes your body, and where it comes from.
How do we then improve our vitality if this is the case (and for most of the food we purchased at our local grocers it is!), how do we improve our health without growing our own food supply? Supplementation. It is one of the easiest and most complete ways to aquire antiaging nutrition. Extremely effective and the most reassuring way to make sure we and our families are covered with the vital life sustaining, disease prevention that comes from good nutrition. High quaility, effective, proven supplements
High quaility, effective, proven nutritional supplements
that will take the worry out of "do I get enough of vitamin...". Nutritional supplements that are processed with the highest quality base ingredients available, whose growing, harvesting, transportation, processing have all been through rigorous testing for purity, effacay, and proven results before they are even let into the processing plant door.
My agreement with this Health and Wellness company prevents me from naming it but they are the very best in providing these excellent antiaging nutrition products. Products that will improve your health or your money back, and help create the level of antiaging nutrition that we all need! One would be hard pressed to find another company who does. As Boomer Women, we need superior nutritional support, antiaging nutrition, to keep going the way we want to, energized, full of life and nary a sick day in the future!
Keeping our sense of wellness, health and vitality is key to helping us keep our sense of place.
