Anti Aging inside and out.
Everything from hair loss to memory loss it works.
"Call things that are not as though they were" Deny & Defy Age & get on the defensive. God made these bodies to live and not die so that we can declare the works of the Lord! Most people think we get toxic as we get old but the truth is we age because we are toxic! So what are we doing that's causing us to have senior moments when we're 35?
Well, here ya go...
Excessive consumption of Simple Sugars accelerates the Aging Process
Excessive carbs that convert to sugar do the same thing. If you crave breads & sugar, do a candida cleanse,
Don't grow old with a bag of bread in one hand and a candy bar in the other!
Stress - accelerates aging, including skin aging!!!
Inflammation is believed to play a central role in the Aging Process (including the Aging Process of the Skin).
Nutritional deficiencies cause aging!
Malabsorption
Lack of good bacteria
Lack of B-Vitamin
Lack of Vitamin C
Lack of sunlight bringing Vitamin D making our calcium absorb
Especially B-12
(This deficiency brings a load of problems ranging from memory to neurological disorders!)
So where do you start?
Studies show that by fasting 3 days a month, you can extend your life 5-7 years!
#1 Clean out the crud!
Fast, any body can do it.
#2 Put the right fuel in the tank
Psalms 103 - "He satisfies our mouth with good things so that our youth is renewed like the eagles". What did God call good? He put us in a garden - eat fresh fruits & veggies
According to the American Cancer society says that by eating 5 fresh fruits and/or veggies per day you can cut your risk of cancer by 30%
So what's good?
All berries but Especially - Bilberries and blueberries may retard the Aging Process (due to their powerful Antioxidant properties).
Grapes & grape seeds - All colors!!! With seeds!
Green Tea retards the aging process especially in the skin!
If you don't like the taste, mix with other flavors
Garlic inhibits the aging process and keeps the vampires away!
And possibly your spouse, so get them to eat it with you!
Seriously, studies show garlic inhibits the shrinkage of the brain!
Thymus Extract counteracts the progression of Aging Process.
Ashwaghandha - if you can say it you can take it! It retards many aspects of the aging process - everything from sex drive to the immune function!
Good old Ginkgo Biloba - good for anything that ails you.
Korean Ginseng
Charcoal (30 grams per day for two days of the week) counteracts some of the cellular changes that are associated with the progression of the Aging Process.
Supplement with B-complex & Minerals
Enzymes
Pro-Biotics
HAIR LOSS
Hair loss can be from several different factors.
Stress
Genetics
Hormone Imbalance
Nutritional deficiency
Clogged hair follicles
Demodex Follicularum (mites) These mites are present in virtually everyone by the time a person reaches middle age. In most cases cause no harm. Studies say that the hair loss in some may be the response that each individual has with the presence of these mites. If the body initiates the inflammatory response as it tries to reject the mites , it may close down the follicles, thus killing the mites but also killing the hair. (This would be likely since the cortisone shots are working.)
Poor circulation
Thyroid disease
Fungal infections
Toxic liver
Misc. Medications, etc...
If the root cause can be found that is the best way to treat, however if not possible, the following is the basic course of action.
Folic Acid 800mcg per day (proven to increase hair growth)
Essential Fatty Acids ( we have a formula called for hair with this in it)
Raw Thymus ( we have Thymic Formula to stimulate the immune)
B-Complex (Aids in fighting stress)
Vitamin C 3,000-10,000 mg per day (Aids in circulation to the scalp)
Zinc (Stimulates hair growth by enhancing immune function)
All oxygen enhancing products for circulation (Body Oxygen, Clustered Water, CoQ 10, etc...)
Copper 3 mg daily (Works with zinc to aid in hair growth)
Lots of garlic in diet and supplement to rid mites
Tea Tree Oil to wash hair(kills bacteria and mites) Use 10 drops into the scalp, massage in then shampoo.
If caused from hypothyroid, work on increasing thyroid function (if this is the case, let me know we are having success with thyroid stimulation naturally.) Bovine Thyroid
Let hair dry naturally, use a pick to comb out
Avoid crash diets causing nutritional imbalances
Do not wear tight ponytail holders or other devices that would cause problems in circulation to scalp.
Memory
Memory is the range of processes involved in the storage and retrieval of information within the Central Nervous System. The structures of the Limbic System are involved in Memory.
Most people think of Alzheimer's disease when it comes to memory lapses, however the majority of senior moments as they say, have nothing to do with Alzheimer's.
You might say, "Well it's because I'm aging and you know you just forget when you get older". Well, I say, Not necessarily!
According to Dr. Balch, "Occasional memory lapses such as misplaced car keys, forgetting something at the store, etc... these can happen at any age, but with proper diet, nutrition, and memory use, the memory should remain sharp and active well into one's nineties or beyond."
This week, we're going to tell you how to increase your memory and hopefully never have a senior moment again!
Ok, so lots of people have senior moments! I have, you have, we all have! I even think my 9 year old has, oh wait, that's selective hearing...
I even think the dogs have had those moments when it comes to going outside when they need to...
So it seems to be a reoccurring theme among mammals, but especially humans. So what's causing it? Memory impairment can occur as a symptom of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
Memory impairment can occur as a result of Hypothyroidism, that is an under-active Thyroid, so not only do you gain weight, feel bad and have no sex drive, you forget about it all. And Memory problems can occur as a result of Adrenal Insufficiency. Another root problem can be dementia or even worse, Alzheimer's Disease. But lets talk about some of the more common problems....like excessive stress which increases the rate of Memory loss.
Plus memory loss can occur as a result of the PMS-D (Depression) form of Pre-Menstrual Syndrome (PMS).
Insufficient supply of nutrients necessary for proper brain function
Causes memory loss. And high cholesterol levels can cause memory loss due to the blood being too thick and therefore the blood surrounding the brain known as the blood-brain barrier, is not receiving the amount of nutrient rich blood that is able to pass through to feed the brain. The brain becomes malnourished!
An imbalance in neurotransmitters can be responsible for poor memory as well as memory loss. Neurotransmitters are brain chemicals that act as electrical switches in the brain. If you are deficient or imbalanced you basically have a power failure and there are blips in the brain. An example is "your telling someone a story and suddenly a specific piece of information is missing", you just had a short circuit. Another common problem is lipofuscin accumulation - which is basically free radical damage. One way to tell if you have this is age spots, if they're on your arm's, they're in your brain!
Another very common issue is bad fats not good fats...and in just a moment I'm going to tell you all about the fat...
Well, Good fats and bad fats affect the brain so dramatically, every area of sensory And motor skill improves or declines with the fat you choose to eat! In one study of people with memory impairment the use of EFA along with PS, for 12 weeks showed dramatic improvement.
The results showed the equivalent of rolling back the clock 12 years
in mental and memory capacity. Studies show that a large percentage of those diagnosed with dementia or Alzheimer's could simply be lacking EFA as well as B-12. So the old saying you fat head, is actually a compliment. Bad fats on the other hand make the blood sticky and cause poor cellular communication and a whole host of other issues such as ADD, ADHD and memory loss according to Dr. Michael Schmidt from Northwestern University. So chances are if you're having a senior moment at 42, look at the food on the fork!!!
Is it good fat or bad fat or do you remember???
Step #1, stop eating those transfats...they are killing you! Go for the good stuff! It works!
So step #2 is take in the good stuff. And what is the good stuff? Well lets start with Choline it improves Memory due to it's ability to produce neurotransmitters. In fact Choline supplementation during Pregnancy causes long-lasting Memory enhancement in offspring (the developing fetus and newly-born infants utilize large quantities of Choline for growth-related Membrane and Myelin synthesis). My 2 year old is a perfect example and actually a scary one.
Cytidine Diphosphate Choline (CDP-Choline) improves Memory (especially in people with Memory impairment). And folic acid, something I happen to love taking! In fact Poor Memory can occur as a result of Folic Acid deficiency (primarily due to Folic Acid deficiency increasing the risk of elevated Homocysteine levels). So your heart is at risk and your memory with a little folic acid deficiency.
Lipoic Acid improves Memory (in elderly persons).
Poor Memory can occur as a result of Vitamin B1 deficiency and The Nicotinic Acid form of Vitamin B3 that's niacin improves Memory.
Vitamin B6 (at least 20 mg per day) improves Memory (especially Long-Term Memory). Vitamin B12 improves Memory (due to its role in the synthesis of (RNA) within the Neurons of the Brain) and Memory impairment can occur as a result of Vitamin B12 deficiency.
Vitamin E helps to preserve Memory and poor Memory can occur as a result of Vitamin E deficiency.
And here's some interesting tid bits, a deficiency in Boron can cause Memory impairment. But Manganese improves Memory. Poor Memory can occur as a result of Magnesium deficiency as well as a potassium deficiency. Memory impairment can also occur as a result of a Sodium deficiency, believe it or not.
Ok say no more to poor memory! Determine to make a difference today! I just recently read a study that said the more children a woman has the better her memory was. And you know why, necessity is the mother of invention...so ladies have more kids, it only works for the mom's not the dad's, they have selective hearing like the kids sometimes...
So what else works besides having more children, well how about phosphatidal serine or PS...
It increases Intelligence: In one study baby mice were supplemented with PS from birth for two months - after one month of PS supplementation the supplemented mice had higher Intelligence than control mice and after two months, the supplemented mice learned faster and more accurately than control adult mice.
Phosphatidylserine improves the Memory and Mood of people afflicted with Age-Associated Memory Impairment and it is estimated that supplemental PS may reverse approximately 12 years worth of Memory decline.
In one human study of Phosphatidylserine for 300 mg of Phosphatidylserine per day for 12 weeks caused maximum improvement in those people with the worst Memory impairment. The improvement in Memory was sustained for up to one month after the cessation of Phosphatidylserine treatment.
Phosphatidylserine (300 - 400 mg per day) alleviates many of the symptoms associated with early Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia:
Studies have shown that 300 mg of PS per day for 8 weeks restores the EEG patterns of Alzheimer's Disease patients to normal, while 400 mg of PS per day improves Brain Glucose metabolism, normalizes EEG patterns and improves cognition. Phosphatidylserine increases the generation of Alpha Waves in the Brain by 15% - 20% Phosphatidylserine may alleviate Anxiety.
Phosphatidylserine reduces Apathy (especially in people aged 55 - 80).
Phosphatidylserine is presently under investigation as a possible treatment for Attention Deficit Disorder
.
PS improves Attention Span as well as concentration and research shows it alleviate Depression - especially in the elderly. Phosphatidylserine helps to stabilize Brain Wave patterns in Epilepsy patients and Brain's utilization and metabolism of Glucose.
Phosphatidylserine improves Short-Term Memory.
And in one study on humans aged 55 - 80 years with mild cognitive impairment benefits noted were: improved ability to learn and recall names of familiar persons, recall the location of misplaced objects, recall details from the prior week; recall telephone numbers, paragraph recall, ability to concentrate while reading, conversing and performing tasks.
PS improves nerve impulses as well as reflexes.
PS aids the body in fighting stress by reducing Cortisol levels
