What Modern Science Says About Reversing The Aging Process

There’s an old proverb that rings with wit and reason: “Everyone wants to go to heaven but no one wants to die.” So why do we want to live forever? According to Dr. Sanjay Gupta, author of “Chasing Life” and CNN’s Senior Medical Corespondent, we do not.

The real quest isn’t eternal life on earth according to Gupta, but rather an exceptional life.

While interviewing the foremost authorities on anti-aging and life extension, Dr. Gupta discovered three “universals” — three principles that each researcher deemed critical to extending our lives naturally and empowering us to live exceptionally. They are:

1. Weight training
2. Good nutrition
3. Positive thinking and having purpose

Jon Benson, author of “Fit Over 40″, explores each of these in great detail, as well as asking 52 men and women how they have managed to slow the hands of time down to a crawl. Benson does not waste time with hype and hypothesis. He focuses on real-world examples and applications we can all use to slow down the aging process and help prevent and reverse the conditions that can lead to disease.

Well, how was your day?

I just came from my amazing chiropractor. I have been to a lot of them, and some of them are worlds apart in a better way than others. Have you experienced that?

Well, I have had difficulties losing weight, due in part to a sluggish thyroid. Lately, I have really been craving chocolate. I have always enjoyed chocolate, but never minded not having it on a regular basis. Now, I want it all day, every day! So, what gives?

Turns out my body is trying to tell me something. My thyroid is having trouble keeping up and my body is turning to a compound in chocolate to keep up. Well, the chiropractor told me of a super simple 30-second exercise to strengthen my thyroid.

He told me to take my two index fingers and apply deep pressure to the areas just below my nose, to the outside edge of my nostrils. I am to hold the pressure for a 30-count, 2 times a day, and get re-evaluated in a couple of months.

It is amazing to me how wonderfully our body is put together and the easy things we can do to support our health! But, I am not surprised, really. We have a fantastic Creator!

So, once again, I am not offering, and never will offer, health advice to you. I am not a doctor. But, I can tell you what I am doing, and what works for me!

–Who has to take 30 seconds to work those pressure points!

One aspect of diet and weight loss that we cannot neglect to pay attention to relates to the quality and types of food that we put into our bodies to fuel them. We all know the computer lingo “GIGO.” Garbage in, garbage out. It only makes sense. You know that.

A person whose diet only, or mainly includes healthy food and drink choices, generally has a much higher quality of life than someone who eats junk food, or even so-called healthy foods from unsafe, or unsanitary sources.

Can we really trust the government to make wise food choices for us and for our families? You will have to decide that for yourself.

Personally, I believe that we each need to be vigilant in this very important area of nutrition as it relates to our health.

Dawn shares that belief with me. She is very informed, motivating, and resourceful. Because of her firm convictions and concerns, not only for her own family’s well-being, but for yours and mine as well, she operates a site to promote healthy eating for healthy living.

I highly recommend that you go there right now. Some of her information is freely available, the rest is available on this membership site. She offers a $1.00 trial period for 30 days. Personally, I think it is a wise investment for anyone who has any concerns at all, or any interest at all in our food quality.

This is just a short article, but well worth reading. Spend some time with Dawn. You will thank me for the lead! Check this site out and let me know what you think!

—Who shares your concerns!

This looked like a very interesting article that came across the wires today. The site brings out the point that sometimes acid reflux can be caused by being overweight.

It also explains the difference between heartburn and acid reflux.

Be sure to see your doctor about medical conditions, but remember that losing weight is healthy for the body in general.

Even a small amount of weight loss can bring tremendous benefits to an overly stressed body. Sometimes, the need for medications can be reduced or eliminated simply by losing weight.

Many people were brought up to be caring individuals, to be concerned with the welfare of others and to serve others. After all, the servant is the greatest of all.

All of this is noble, and good, and moral, and decent, and just plain right to do. So - how can the caregiver justify taking care of herself. And I say “herself” simply because most caregivers are women. A caregiver is also frequently a man.

Well, If one does not take care of himself, or herself first, the caregiver will sooner or later find it harder and harder and then next to impossible to take care of anyone else.

So, the lesson here is this. Be balanced. Take care of others. But, along the way, take care of yourself as well. If you have not been in the habit of this, it is well worth the effort to work on this area of your life now. After all, when we take care of ourselves, we usually live longer, healthier, happier, more productive, and satisfying lives. And, the people we care for - our spouse, our children, our grandchildren, our friends and neighbors - all need us to have and be and do those things. What is good for us is good for them as well.

So, remember that this is the first day of the rest of your life. Prepare to make some happy changes.

First, allow special time for yourself on a regular basis. Pray, meditate, read a book for enjoyment.

Second, take time, make time, to exercise on a daily basis. Research abounds on the benefits of this, and your own body will concur, once given the chance to experience healthy movement.

Third, learn to say “No” when it is appropriate. Learn to graciously refuse to take on more than you can really handle well. Learn to delegate. How much of what you do now is something that someone else could or should be doing, or can easily be taught to do?

We sometimes hear or tell others to “Take care.” That really is just short for “Take care of yourself.” Great advice, don’t you agree?

That is it for now. Take Care! (grin!)
