• I. Precision Anti-Aging Exercise
  People who exercise know that they will be stronger and healthier. What people may not realize is that exercise can also make you younger. Precision Anti-Aging exercises incorporate 3 important components:
  • a. Flexibility Training for our joints.
  • b. Cardiovascular Training for our heart.
  • c. Strength Training for our muscles.
  By the time that you are 60, you may have lost up to half your muscular strength, half of your lung capacity, and a good percentage of bone density that accompanies aging. By incorporating a precision anti-exercise program, you can prevent these losses. Have you ever shook the hand of a 65 or 70 year-old person? They have no grip strength and are so frail that you may be worried that shaking their hand will hurt them. Exercise can help maintain that strength for a firm hand shake.
  How do strength training and aerobic exercises exhibit anti-aging effects? They stimulate the body to produce growth hormone, a hormone that has been shown to reverse the aging process and rejuvenate aged cells. Stretching exercises help to keep your body lithe and limber enabling you to twist and turn like a young person, without backache or other pain. A good aerobic workout stresses and strengthens the heart. In addition, there are many cross benefits. Properly performed, strength-training also maintains and builds muscle mass. Since muscle is more metabolically active than fat (meaning that muscle burns more calories than fat), your metabolism will increase and you will ultimately burn more fat. Aerobic exercise improves your lung capacity. Keeping your aerobic exercise intensity to no more than 65% to 70% of your maximum heart rate will avoid over oxidation. Your personal target heart rate is determined by subtracting your age in years from 220 and multiplying the result by 0.65 or 0.70 to give you 65% or 70% of your maximum heart rate. Keep your heart rate at this level for 20 continuous minutes at least 3 times a week.
  
  
• II. Balanced Anti-Aging Diet
  The acronym SAD for the Standard American Diet could not be more appropriate. The high fat, high sugar, and high salt combination of the average diet has negatively affected our brain and organs so much that our body has a hard time recognizing what's good and what's not. The problem with most diets is that they are so extreme that they are impossible to follow for more than a short time. You will be delighted to know that together with your commitment, the Anti-Aging diet is safe, enjoyable, and will help you reach or maintain your anti-aging weight, which is 5-10% less than your ideal body weight. For men, the ideal body weight is 106 lbs for the first 5 feet of your height, plus 6 lbs for every in inch after that. Ladies, your ideal body weight is 100 lbs for the first 5 feet of your height, plus 5 lbs for every inch more.
  
  The general rule of thumb is that a balanced anti-aging diet should be comprised of a 50/25/25 ratio of carbohydrate, protein, fat. The carbohydrate should be in the form of fruits and vegetables. Protein should preferably be from plant sources such as beans and tofu, with maximum one-third from animal sources like meat. Fat (mostly poly and mono-unsaturated) should come from olive oil and nuts rather than from animal products.
  Another tip is to not eat when you're not hungry. 5-6 small meals throughout the day are better than 1-3 big meals per day. If you really crave food during the period your stomach is adjusting to smaller meals, eat a piece of fresh fruit. Avoid refined sugar, which can be found in many junk foods including donuts and soft drinks. As you may not be aware of, refined sugar is the worst enemy in your fight against aging as it increases the production of cortisol, an age-inducing hormone.
  
  
• III. Anti-Aging Stress
  Reduction Techniques Stress is a "silent Killer." Why? Stress increases the levels of cortisol production in your body, which accelerates the aging process. Most stress relief modalities fall into 3 broad categories: (1) Mental, (2) Physical or (3) Functional.
  
  Mental activities for stress reduction include music, reading, meditation, singing, praying etc. Physical activities include exercise and sports, Taisho, Yoga, Tai kwon do, bicycling, window shopping, walking, swimming etc. Functional style activities include massage, Qi?Gong and hydro-therapy. These methods can be mixed and matched. Find out that works best for you and make stress reduction a habit.
  
  
• IV. Natural Hormone Enhancement
  One of the most important anti-aging hormones is growth hormone. For some reason yet to be discovered, growth hormone release falls off after we turn 25 years old, dropping at a rate of 10?15% every decade thereafter. The aging process begins along with this decline in growth hormone output. Only 3% of the world population has what we call the "good gene," which carries the APO?4 Type of DNA. These fortunate few will become centenarians (live to 100) regardless of their lifestyle, generally speaking. The remaining 97% of us have to deal with the deterioration of our bodies as a result of declining hormonal health as we age.
  
  Changes from the diminished output of growth hormone start to become visible as early as your 35th birthday. By age 45, the wrinkles are making their mark and the skin is noticeably thinner along with the hair, which is also getting more gray. The nails are brittle, the muscles are weak, the breath is short, and the libido, what's that? The prostate hypertrophies and the trips to the bathroom at night increase. The quick way to reverse the downward slide is by human growth hormone injections. However, injections must be monitored by a physician. As with any hormone, growth hormone can be fatal if administered without the proper precautions.
  
  Is there a natural way of replacing our growth hormone? Many naturally oriented physicians practicing anti-aging medicine believe so. It is done not by replacing the hormone, but by stimulating your very own pituitary gland to naturally increase the release of hGH. Substances which stimulate the pituitary gland in this manner are called secretagogues. Secretagogues are all natural and side effects are rare. The results, while not as dramatic as injections, have been very encouraging. Replenishment of growth hormone from a deficient state can lead to improved sex life, skin tone, and help to balance other hormones in the body including testosterone, DHEA, melatonin, pregnenolone, and progesterone.
  
  
• V. Optimal Anti-Aging Supplementation
  The American diet is deficient in many essential nutrients, leading ultimate to premature death that results from degenerative diseases. Even if we follow a healthy diet, our way of farming has depleted the soil of many essential minerals. Furthermore, contemporary farming technology has yielded nicer looking produce by using pesticides, herbicides, artificial soils and genetic manipulation. But this is accomplished at the cost of nutrition. When we add the effects of environmental pollution, and the use of refined sugar, high fat (especially trans-fat), high simple sugars, and high salt in our fast-food and manufactured products, our need for proper supplementation is magnified.
  
  To get the amount of minerals, vitamins and phyto-chemicals necessary for anti-aging effects, we often need to increase our food intake by 4 to 10 times. For example, a 5,000 calorie diet is needed just to obtain 400 I.U. of Vitamin E. Diet alone is therefore not a tool we can rely on solely for our body to receive optimum nutrients. For this reason, supplementation is a cornerstone and key pillar of an effective anti-aging program.
  There is no single "magic bullet " supplement that can reverse aging. However, we do know that combining supplements in a "cocktail" type formulation may be the best as the supplements such as vitamins, minerals, herbs, nutritional factors, enzymes, and antioxidants work synergistically with each other.

1. It should be customized for your age, sex, body rhythm, and optimum intake to aggressively deter the three phases of aging.
2. It should help to reverse or rejuvenate the aged body in a mild manner, optimize organ function, and lower homocysteine, a major factor in heart disease and Alzheimer's disease.
3. It should contain antioxidants to help prevent uncontrolled mutation, and to combat the free?radicals directly linked to the deterioration of the immune system and cancer, fatigue and weakness of muscles. It also contains compounds that maintain the proper functioning of the kidneys, pancreas, bladder and liver and stimulate the release of natural growth hormone and help to prevent catabolism.
4. It should contain all the elements needed to help cellular and biological immune function with inflammation suppression. These elements also prevent the depletion of hormone such as testosterone, which is very important for sexual function and libido both in men and women.
5. It should contain properties that act as metabolic and endocrine/hormonal balancers. This helps to control weight. It should specifically deal with problems associated with blood sugar levels, carbohydrate craving, bloating, and excessive gas production.
6. t should have properties to aid stress reduction and act as a mood balancer.
7. It should help to enhance sexual function. A formulation for men should have protection against prostate hypertrophy and cancer. The women's formulation should help balance the hormonal system from pre to peri to post menopausal state. It should also contain antioxidants in the optimum amount to fight cellular mutation that leads to cancer.
8. It should have ingredients designed to help moisturize the skin, bring back the luster of hair, promote healthy strong nails, and strengthen the bones.
9. Because many nutrients are water soluble and quickly excreted from the body, supplements that are in time-release form is preferred. To maintain the optimum blood level in our body, supplements should be taken twice a day - once in the morning with breakfast and once in the evening with dinner.
10. It should be as natural as possible and manufactured in an FDA licensed facility in accordance to GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) guidelines.
