Anti-Aging Therapy, Aging Gracerfully

Anti-Aging Therapy

~ Discover secrets to live longer and age slower. The “art of aging gracefully” is 30% genes and 70% lifestyle. How will you choose to live?

~What is “Anti-Aging” Therapy?

Modern theories of aging are generally looked at in two theoretical ways; the damage theories and programmed theories. The Damage Theories primarily looks at the damage that our cells incur over time. This looks at Extrinsic aging which is the aging process compounded by externally caused factors. The Programmed Theories are primarily concerned with the genetics of how long and how efficient our cells can maintain optimum health. This looks at Intrinsic aging which is aging due to the rate of passing time.

On this page, understand how we age Learn about free radicals, which cause oxidative stress, damaging cell membranes, causing inflammation. Learn more about sugar and inflammation. Discover the anti-aging supplements, what we call the major players and the anti-aging enemies. Take a look at the blood test panels for aging males and females. We offer Top 10 Secrets for graceful aging, the power behind natural skin care treatments, how to eat to stay young, how to work with vitamin therapy, secrets to exercise and anti-aging and the best treatments to enhance any healthcare regime!

Anti-Aging Tools

How We Age

Scientists agree that one of the most significant factors contributing to aging is chronic inflammation. [1]. As we age, we tend towards a number of identifiable inflammatory diseases. Chronic inflammation damages the cells of our brains, heart, arterial walls, and other body structures. Heart disease, Alzheimer’s, senility, Parkinson’s, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, prostatitis and stroke are just a few of the diseases of aging attributed to chronic inflammation.

Anti-aging therapy or graceful aging, is actually a combination of different therapies used to slow and/or reverse human aging. One of the fastest growing segments of medicine today is anti-aging and longevity medicine. The methods showing scientific promise in slowing the aging process and extending the lifespan in mammals is caloric restriction, decreasing cellular inflammation due to free radicals, exercise and the power behind social relationships.

Anti-aging therapies can make a difference in such inflammatory diseases and aging disorders such as:arthritis, anger, dementia depression, diabetes, excess weight,fear, menopause, pain, psoriasis, smoking, stress, sunburn.

Theories of Aging

The Rule of Thirds basically looks at the decline in functionality as we age. One third of functional decline is due to the result of disease. Another third is believed to be the result of inactivity. The last third is actually due to the aging process itself.

The Damage Theories primarily looks at the damage that our cells incur over time. This looks at Extrinsic aging which is the aging process compounded by externally caused factors. With this concept, aging results from gradual damage on the cellular level from such things as protein degradation, gene mutation, autoimmune processes and the accumulation of toxins and degenerative substances

The Programmed Theories are primarily concerned with the genetics of how long and how efficient our cells can maintain optimum health. This looks at Intrinsic aging which is aging due to the rate of passing time. As cells in the body cycle, over time, their rate of replication decreases until they can no longer repeat their sequence and the cell dies. There is also an age associated decline in T cell function and degenerative vascular disease.

Free Radicals

Free radicals are atoms or groups of atoms that have at least one unpaired electron, which makes them highly reactive. Free radicals promote beneficial oxidation that produces energy and kills bacterial invaders. However, in excess, they produce harmful oxidation or oxidative stress that can damage cell membranes and cell contents. [2]. These free radicals cause inflammation.

Sugar and Inflammation

One of the reasons inflammation occurs is from a rapid rise in blood sugar, which causes biochemical changes in the cell. Staying away from sugar and high-glycemic (simple) carbohydrates, which the body rapidly converts to sugar, is one of the best ways to decrease inflammation. C-reactive protein (CRP) is a key factor of inflammation.

Anti-Aging Enemies

From too much sugar to over exposure of UVA/UVB rays, these are just some of the many causes which accelerate the aging process. In this article, you will discover why you need to pay attention to the factors that are in your life on a daily basis that are causing you harm.

Top 10 “Secrets” for Graceful Aging

The Harvard Study of Adult Development, the longest, most comprehensive examination of aging ever conducted. Since the 1930s, researchers have studied more than 824 men and women, following them from adolescence into old age, seeking clues to the behaviors that translate into happy and healthy longevity. The book “Aging Well”, by Harvard Medical School Psychiatrist, George Vaillant has acquired the results of these studies that track the physical and emotional well-being of the 824 men and women from every social strata. The Harvard study found that we are better off becoming preoccupied with the following factors that turned out to be most predictive of whether we’d move successfully through middle age and into our 80’s:

The Major Players

Antioxidants are a classification of several organic substances, which include vitamins C and E, vitamin A (converted from beta-carotene), selenium, alpha lipoic acid, and carotenoids. Together as antioxidants, these substances are thought to be effective in helping to prevent certain cancers, [6, 27] cardiovascular disease, [7] and cataracts [8]. At the cellular level, antioxidants serve to deactivate certain free radicals in turn helping to decrease inflammation. [9,28]. The best source for antioxidants are in fruits and vegetables.


Alpha Lipoic Acid	Carnitine	CoQ10
DHEA	DIM	DMAE
Essential Fatty Acids	Lutein	Lycopene

Skin Care

Skin care at any age and during every season is important. Your largest organ (your skin) needs attention, especially during times of transition from one season to the next. Here you will find the top 10 methods for keeping your skin supple and beautiful!

Eat to Stay Young

If you want to stay young, you have to make a long-term commitment to eating right. The word from researchers: Tipping the balance toward more nutrient-rich foods while you’re still young can go a long way toward keeping you healthier longer.

Eat right

Vitamin Therapy

Vitamins are potent organic compounds, which are found in small concentrations in foods. They perform specific and vital functions in the body chemistry. They are like electric sparks which help to run human motors.

Exercise Your Right

Physical fitness needs to be “sensible mild to moderate exercise” that you enjoy. It also works best when you “schedule” it into your day like every other routine that you do. You eat breakfast, you go to work, you schedule a meeting…. you do the same with exercise!
