Nutrition And Supplements In Anti-Aging Medicine

By by Anju Mathur, MD

Vitamins, minerals, trace minerals, essential fatty acids, amino acids, antioxidants and other nutrients have often been removed from our civilized food chain by the effects of modern agricultural methods and food processing. Hence, their adequate supplementation in a nutrient-depleted body will greatly enhance the chance for a successful, long life, lived to its maximum potential.

Genetic background can be a help or hindrance to some of the most vicious degenerative diseases such as cancer and diseases of the circulatory system. But even these can definitely be overcome when a person decides to put his or her body back to rights and get well.

This is done by establishing your own personal metabolic individuality and determining your metabolic type. In other words it is important to know how your own body is handling food and not what a particular food is doing to the body.

This means that, by learning the do's and don'ts of proper environment and proper nutrition, and by investing what amounts to a small amount of our time and our money, we can soon be on the trail of our most valuable possession, ever-lasting good health.

An individual diet plan and needed supplements along with exercise can slow down the aging process and control or reverse age-related disease. Champion antioxidants such as Glutathione, vitamins A, C and E and beta-carotene counteract free radicals. Focusing on these proven natural therapies can undo some of the damage caused by free radicals, and slow down the ravages of age.

Free radical elimination or reduction is a very important factor in any anti-aging program, because the damage caused by free radicals is the main reason for aging, although other factors are involved. Also, the body produces waste products and toxins through its daily processes, and these must be eliminated. Correct nutrition, elimination and detoxification with safe and gentle methods are available. High blood pressure, Alzheimer?s disease, diabetes, Parkinson?s disease and arthritis are some of the diseases that are apparently mainly caused by free radicals.

Rationing of food intake can be very helpful in contributing to anti-aging medicine. Modern research indicates that restricting the amount of calories ingested can be important to extending lifespan in mammals. And the good news is that even limited periods of restricted calories can help balance hormone functions and the effects continue even when a person returns to a normal diet.

A long and healthy and productive life is possible with a small amount of effort in the direction of good nutrition and necessary supplements. The key is to work with a professional to discover exactly what is right for you. - 17274
