Revitalise Your Health

Whether we’d like to accept this or not, we truly are what we eat. So it makes sense to put healthy foods in our body instead of junk food that will only make us look older before our time. This junk food leads to oxidative stress which is a major cause of accelerated aging. One top food that is known to reduce oxidative stress is cactus pear fruit (opuntia ficus-indica).

Scientists in Italy have proven that cactus pear reduced oxidative stress in healthy persons. They also found that cactus pear fruit helps balance a healthy oxidative state in your body while it lowers oxidative damage to lipids. This fruit will definitely improve your antioxidant status.

Eating cactus pear fruit also works to increase the vitamin E levels in your body. Scientists aren’t sure how, but researchers found that persons who took either vitamin C supplements or cactus pear fruit ended up with higher levels of vitamin E at the end of the study.

In the end, scientist concluded that cactus pear fruit will improve your oxidative stress and keep you healthier, but that taking vitamin C supplements at a same dose does not affect the body’s oxidative stress as much. So, eating a food is better than having to take the supplement. (Of course, there are times when only a supplement will do due to the type of supplement you need.) But in this case, food wins.

In the special report ‘Rejuvenate: Turn Back the Clock‘, you will learn about the “real” top foods which scientists have researched and have proven to be the most helpful in anti-aging. Learn more and start getting younger today at http://www.turn-back-the-clock.com

In a recent article in the NYTimes titled ‘Wrinkle Removers, Backed by Science’, we found that there are 3 wrinkle removers proven to work through scientific research. What more could we want than to know the truth and to avoid the costly mistakes many of us have been through?

As we all know, our skin ages on a daily basis. But with good nutrition we can limit the damages free radicals. This is not part of the studies’ results, but is indeed information found in the Special Report, Rejuvenate: Turn Back the Clock. There are healthy foods and then there are “more nutritionally endowed” superfoods. In our studies we offer the top anti-aging foods that are not typically found in the average list. One such food is the superfruit guava. With its red, yellow and orange pigments it packs in four times more vitamin C than an orange. It also contains the much desired omega 3 fatty acids and a high punch of fiber. It is anti-inflammatory as well. You will learn about more such superfoods that are proven to be anti aging and rejuvenative thanks to research studies. But back to the main topic…

According to the article in the NYTimes regarding wrinkles, a recent review in The Archives of Dermatology concludes that three anti-aging treatments are proven clinically effective: the topical application of retinol; carbon dioxide laser resurfacing; and injection of hyaluronic acid, a moisture-retaining acid that occurs naturally in the skin. Each depends on the same mechanism, the interaction of skin cells called fibroblasts with the collagen they produce.“This is an area where there’s a lot of hype and not much substance,” said David J. Leffell, a professor of dermatology and surgery at Yale who was not involved in the review. But, he said, this study is “good science.” (Bakalar, 2008)

To learn about the recipe used by a famous naturopathic doctor in her anti-aging, beautifying routine, please check out Rejuvenate: Turn Back the Clock. This is the next best thing to a facelift without the side effects. It is proven, one of the authors of our special report tried it for herself and she has definitely beautified and regressed aging in just a few weeks time.

We are here to help in any way we can…here’s to rejuvenation and looking younger longer!

To keep your skin glowing, a must-have, yet inexpensive treatment is apple cider vinegar. Apple Cider Vinegar will balance the pH of your face while preventing breakouts. It also tones your face. Every morning and every evening use a cotton ball to apply a mix of 3 parts purified water to 1 part vinegar. This will improve your skin and prevent sagging because it gets the circulation moving to your skin.

To also keep your skin glowing splash nettle leaf infusion on your face. You can also generously spray the infusion on your hair to make it lustrous and give it strength that no other hair treatment ever will. Rinse or leave it on overnight. Apply infusion to your face daily and give your hair a protein-rich, mineral and vitamin infused treatment twice a week. To prepare, grab a handful of dry nettle leaf infusion and add 1 liter of hot boiling water. Seal tightly in a glass jar and cool. After 4 hours this just about “magical” infusion is ready to use.

Many people like to get all their vitamins, minerals and antioxidants from food sources, but some like to boost their intake by taking various natural supplements and herbs which contain larger quantities of nutrients and plant compounds. Always consult a nutritional therapist to find out what supplements will work best for you and consult your GP if you are pregnant or on medication.

Beware of taking high doses of antioxidants. Sometimes they can act as pro-antioxidants which can damage the body and kickstart that anti-aging process, rather than slow it down. When getting vitamins, minerals and antioxidants from foods sources it’s almost impossible to overdose on them.

Improve your brainpower by taking the herb Ginkgo biloba. It has antioxidant properties and increases the elasticity of blood vessels so boosts circulation to the brain. It also helps to improve concentration and has been linked with easing depression and anxiety in older age. Take 120mg daily for optimum results.

You can keep your joints mobile into old age by taking evening primrose oil. Its constituent omega-6 essential fatty acid GLA (gamma linoleic acid) is converted into inflammation controlling prostaglandins. (Woah, lots of big words there!) Evening primrose oil also has the added advantage of keeping skin, hair and nails looking youthful. Take 1,000mg with food up to three times per day.

Calcium rich supplements are essential for reducing the risk of bone loss, energy production, metabolism and digestion. Calcium can also lower high blood pressure and keep heart and blood vessels healthy. Calcium can be found in many food sources, but can also be taken in supplement form. 1,000mg – 2,000mg is the recommended daily intake.

Maintain your youthful energy and vitality into old age by taking a supplement rich in amino acid L-carnitine. It is not available in many food sources but is important for boosting energy and endurance levels. 500mg daily is recommended.

By training aerobically and boosting the efficiency of the cardiovascular system you are improving every part of the body function. Training with weights and strengthening muscles maintains good posture, bone density and joint mobility into old age. Here are six tips for a natural body rejuvenation through exercise.

1. Aim to exercise for at least half an hour at least five times per week. If you can, try to workout for an hour. If you can’t find time for an hour slot, then break it up into 20 minute sessions. At least two sessions per week should be resistance training, while the other three sessions should be cardio workouts, such as swimming, jogging or cycling.

2. Sometimes the enthusiasm associated with beginning a training programme causes you to launch whole-heartedly into your regime. This can cause injury and fatigue. Instead, start slowly and gradually build up the intensity at which you work.

3. Some people like to begin the day with a morning swim or a rejuvenating yoga session, others like to go for a run in the mid-afternoon and others like to exercise in the evening. Find a time that suits you best and exercise then.

4. Try to incorporate your workouts with your family and friends. Use your exercise time to spend time with your kids, friends and colleagues. Play tennis with your kids or have a game of football with your friends. This way you can socialise and workout your muscles.

5. When possible, exercise outdoors. Being outdoors gives a feeling of exhilaration, but also of peace and tranquillity. Get outside when you can. Go for a jog at dawn, a swim in the ocean, or have a yoga session in the park.

6. Workout in four stages. A gentle warm-up involving gentle jogging and stretching, aerobic or cardiovascular exercise to work the heart and lungs, strengthening exercises to work the muscles, and finally a cool down stretch.

This is the last article in a 10 part series on how to look and feel younger naturally. This article is slightly different and focusses on what to wear to look and feel younger.

Firstly, many women get stuck in the style from many years ago. Women who looked good in their mid 20’s back in the 1980’s tend to stick with the style back then. They don;t keep up with the times. Fashion is constantly evolving, you have to keep up or get left behind and look a lot older than you truely are.

Use magazines to research the latest trends and fashions and find the latest ‘cuts’ and ’styles’. You may not be able to afford the clothes metioned in the magazines but you’ll be able to find similar clothes in stores such as Gap.

Watch what young people are wearing. Stereotypically, young people have style (most of them anyway). Observe what they wear and adapt it to your own age. Don’t dress innapropriately for your age.

Only wear clothes that fit and suit the shape and size of your body. Emphasize the good parts of your body and try to ‘hide’ the not so attractive features.

Accessorize. Accessories are a great way to add a bit of personality and style to your appearance. Keep an eye out in magazines for tips on what accessories to wear and observe other people with style on what they are wearing.

Be careful with the colours you wear. They change seasonally. The colours you wear need to match your skin colour and hair colour.

Sometimes you have to invest money in your appearance. You can’t always go for the cheap option, but get it right and it will always be money well spent. Dress well and it will sky-rocket your confidence and make you look ten years younger.

This is one article in a 10 part series on how to look and feel younger naturally. This article reveals the effects of excessive stress on our health and beauty and what we can do to elimate stress from our lives.

Did you know that the stress hormone cortisol SHRINKS the hippocampus (the part of the brain responsible for memory and thinking). Stress ages us in ways we never imagined.

As well as aging the mind, stress contributes to adding pounds of fat around the waist area. Not only is this unsightly, it is also a highly dangerous health risk.

There are many ways to manage stress, here are some of the best.

Firstly, exercise. Exercise seems to be at the top of every list to do with health and that’s because it’s so important. Just thirty minutes of exercise per day helps to clear the mind and eliminate stress, as well as give the body a great workout.

Meditation has been proved to work for many to eliminate stress. Meditation helps to clear the mind of stressful thoughts. Do some searching on the internet to find out more about meditation. Read this article for help.

Relaxation also helps. Try and get hold of a progressive muscular relaxation tape. The tape guides you through each step in relaxing every single muscle in the body. It clears the mind, too. I’ve done it once and it provides a completely surreal feeling. Give it a go.

Mechanical techniques, such as stress balls are a great way to release pent up anger. They can be bought very cheap. Keep them on hand for potentially stressful situations.

The best way however to eliminate stress is to avoid situations which cause you to become stressed. Identify your stressors and avoid them. Failing that, at least learn to manage them effectively.

Stress is a killer. Avoid it, manage it, or pay the consequences.
