Can YOU Slow Down YOUR Aging Process?

What if there was something you could do that would slow down the rate at which you were aging?

Sounds too good to be true?

Not according to the latest developments in the Anti-Aging market.

Many top researches believe that the bio-marker responsible for determining a person’s aging process is the Telomere of the chromosome.

The human body is made up of 100 trillion cells and every cell contains a nucleus. Inside the nucleus are the chromosomes that contain your genes. The chromosome is made up of two “arms,” and each arm contains a single molecule DNA, which is essentially a string of beads made up of units called bases.

A typical DNA molecule is about 100 million bases long. The last 15,000 of these bases is the Telomere. It is believed that you are conceived with 15,000 Telomeres, born with 10,000, and die when the number reaches approximately 5,000.

Bad News! Diet and Exercise won’t STOP the shortening process!

You can, however, ACCELERATE your telomere shortening with an unhealthy lifestyle such as obesity, lack of exercise, psychological stress and smoking, which all cause FREE RADICALS.

Decrease YOUR Free Radicals and Live Longer!

If you eat healthy, exercise, reduce your stress levels, and take antioxidants you will DECREASE the free radicals in your body and the rate of your telomere shortening.

The best and most powerful antioxidant available is Glutathione (GSH), AND your body makes it!

Yes, that’s right! Your body makes one of the most powerful antioxidants available and by INCREASING its levels in your body you will decrease the rate of your telomere shortening.

How do you Increase Glutathione levels?

Here is the dilemma. Unfortunately, simply taking glutathione as a supplement is not the best solution.   You must create an environment in your body that naturally produces it.   This process requires certain precursors: glycine, glutamate and cysteine.

Most people Can’t make glutathione!

Due to chronic inflammation of the layers of most people’s cells, they are unable to produce glutathione. Despite consuming glutathione precursor foods such as whey protein, animal foods and eggs, people are unable to increase their glutathione levels because the chronic inflammation present prevents them from going into the cell.

The key is to provide the right precursors to create glutathione, as well as, decrease the inflammation of the cell. You must make the necessary dietary changes such as eliminating sugar and refined grains, eliminating poor dietary fats, and increasing your vegetables.

So How Old Are You?

Are you a 45 year old that “feels 60” or a 65 year old that “feels 40”?

Knowing the length of YOUR telomeres may give you a good indication on how fast you are aging.  SpectaCell Laboratories offers a Telomere test that will show you how you are aging by measuring how long your Telomeres are. This information can be used to indicate to you just how well your body is aging and may provide some insight to help you live longer. Many doctors, including myself, can order this lab for you so if you are interested simply ask your doctor or contact my office.

The rate at which you age CAN be influenced by YOU. By decreasing you weight, exercising, reducing your stress levels, and increasing your glutathione levels you can dramatically slow down your telomere shortening and your aging process.

I encourage everyone to get a Telomere test and then implement the necessary lifestyle factors to ensure a healthy and LONG life. By doing this you will take one more step to Achieving Optimal Health!
