Many of us believe that before we hit that magic age of
thirty, we think that we are invincible, that we are
different than everyone before us and we will beat the
odds, live forever, and do so in good health. But
unfortunately, it seems that when we do turn thirty, we
start noticing the effects of age. We look into the mirror
and start noticing fine lines in our face. When we reach
that magic age of forty, we start to feel new aches and
pains. We take longer to recover from that Friday night
party. When we turn fifty, we are having procedures and
begin to use words like ointment. On some occasions we
even are caught saying: I must have slept wrong! Can you
believe it? Sleeping, one of the easiest things we should
be able to do and we did it wrong? If we live to see
sixty, we now consider ourselves lucky! How do we fight
the effects of old age?
When we're young and feel invincible, the habit of ignoring
our bodies until something goes wrong is understandable.
We've been taught to live under the assumption to leave it
alone and it will heal itself. Many of us have heard the
doctor say that we will have to live with a discomfort or
ailment for awhile. What we don't recognize is that our
bodies are indeed slowly breaking down. As with a fine
piece of machinery, our bodies need preventative care to
not only survive for the long term but thrive and flourish
in the near term. Our bodies were not designed to last
forever, but there are steps that we can take to preserve
them for a longer period of time. Through a series of
daily anti aging steps, we can indeed fight the effects of
aging.
It is generally known that when an elderly person breaks a
bone, they are prone to having complications with healing
or other ailments become more pronounced. A broken hip may
appear to us as just a broken bone that will heal in six
weeks when we are young, but to an elderly person, the
healing process can be considerably longer and can be very
debilitating. Even though older people are not as active
as those quite younger, they are at greater risk for
breaking a bone or injuring a joint simply because their
bones and joints are wearing out.
Arthritis is also a significant concern as we get older but
we should be aware that arthritis is affecting a greater
numbers of younger people. A growing group of doctors,
nutritionists and dieticians believe that the increase may
be due to the fact that many of us don't get enough of the
nutrients that we need to promote strong healthy bones and
joints. Long before fast food restaurants became popular;
families actually cooked and ate their meals in their homes
at the dining room table. They filled their plates with
foods that contained the minerals and nutrients that their
bodies needed for good health. Eating fresh vegetables and
fruit was common place before canned goods, frozen meals,
and fast food. It was common for ninety year old people to
be out and about, without pain. But that was long before
heart disease and diabetes became the killers they are
today. What changed? Our diet is what has changed.
Today, we may not have good nutrition on our side, but we
do have good research. Scientists have found that
arthritis, osteoporosis, and the general breakdown of bones
and joints can be prevented or delayed with the right
mixture of natural compounds. The prevention or delay can
be felt even if you are already experiencing the effects of
aging. Scientists and doctors now believe you can improve
your joint flexibility, stimulate the growth of cartilage,
and decrease joint pain through proper nutrition. It's a
bit funny (or maybe not so funny) that we have to relearn
the positive benefits of proper nutrition!
Glucosamine is a natural compound that stimulates essential
cartilage building blocks. These building blocks are
glycosaminoglycans and proteoglycans. Methyl Sulfonyl
Methane, also called MSM, also works to improve and support
the health of joints. Ipriflavone increases bone density,
and Zinc, along with vitamins C and K1 are also essential
to bone and joint health.
Before you run out to your health food store to look for
these ingredients, realize that these compounds work best
when your body can process the right amounts of each at the
same time. Often, a liquid calcium supplement will contain
Glucosamine, Vitamin D, magnesium, and other nutrients to
increase bone density, in effect it can be your anti aging
vitamin elixir. Including Vitamin D in your supplement may
also help alleviate or even eliminate a Vitamin D
deficiency.
You may also want to look for a supplement that augments or
complements your liquid calcium supplement. MSM,
Ipriflavone, and Vitamins C and K1 often are contained in a
supplement that is considered a companion to your liquid
calcium supplement. Adding MSM, Ipriflavone and the other
nutrients may increase the effectiveness of a liquid
calcium supplement by increasing the absorption of calcium
in your bones making it a more potent anti-aging vitamin
elixir.
It is not too late to stop the effects of aging. You can
easily create your anti-aging vitamin elixir of life and by
taking it each and every day, protect your bones and joints
from deteriorating, becoming brittle, or easily broken.
