Go Green And Live To 100

By |2023-03-16T07:24:54+00:00March 16th, 2023|Natural Health|

When people say “go green” they usually mean to start thinking about the environmental impact of our day-to-day activities. But, if you ask a small group of anti-aging researchers, “going green” means something else entirely. In fact, it has nothing to do with changing your habits of material consumption. “Going green” the anti-aging way can improve your overall health and help you live longer, maybe even to the ripe old age of 100.

The “green” I’m talking about isn’t about protecting the trees, it’s about spending time with them…

What with coronavirus, inflation, and other daily pressures, we all need to find […]

The Health Boost You Only Get When You Age

By |2023-03-09T03:15:12+00:00March 9th, 2023|Lifestyle|

None of us like to be reminded about the physical and mental decline that comes with aging, but it’s not all bad news.

One very damaging health issue that can have dangerous results actually gets better as you age instead of worse. I’m talking about your response to stress.

Let’s take a closer look…

You frequently hear news reports about how daily stress can negatively impact people’s lives, from physical health to mental and emotional well-being, but few people are aware of just how serious stress can be.

Daily pressures that come from work, paying the bills, taking care of family and more, overwhelm […]

How Long Should You Exercise To Lengthen Your Life?

By |2023-03-02T09:00:05+00:00March 2nd, 2023|Natural Health|

People who positively enjoy exercise are very lucky; many do it grudgingly. If you’re in the latter category the latest research should thrill you. It shows exercise needn’t take up more than two minutes of your day.

It’s true! Even this tiny amount of time will cut your risk of death significantly. There’s only one caveat…

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services publishes Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans to promote good health. The current guidelines recommend 150 to 300 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity or 75 to 150 minutes of vigorous physical activity, or a combination of both per week.

Many people will […]

How would you like an effortless way to reduce fatigue, have more energy, curb overeating, prevent constipation, enjoy more radiant skin, and improve mood, focus and short-term memory?

If that windfall of health benefits sounds good to you, your mission is easy…

All you must do is drink adequate amounts of water. But it gets even better…

A new study shows well-hydrated adults are healthier, develop fewer chronic conditions, and live longer than those who do not drink adequate amounts of water.

Avoid This Ingredient And Sharpen Your Memory

By |2023-02-16T00:34:48+00:00February 16th, 2023|Natural Health|

Many studies have explored the relationship between diet and cognitive function as you age. They’ve all come to similar conclusions – when you avoid processed food you improve your chances of avoiding memory loss and Alzheimer’s-related dementia.

But why is processed food so bad for you? A new study has found one answer…

Processed food is filled with preservatives, additives, artificial colors and flavors, and lots and lots of salt. The official U.S. nutritional guidelines are to consume fewer than 2,300 milligrams (mg) of sodium each day. But actual consumption is 50 percent higher, due almost entirely to processed food.

Hidden Sodium is […]

Is Your Meal Healthy? Here’s How To Know For Sure…

With 40,000 items in the average supermarket, making healthy choices can be challenging. That sourdough loaf, tub of yogurt and can of vegetable soup might look wholesome but may not be all they’re cracked up to be.

To clear up the confusion, experts at Tufts University have come up with a nutritional value scoring system called Food Compass. Here’s the story…

Introduced in 2021 by researchers at the Friedman School at Tufts, Food Compass provides a holistic measure of the overall nutritional value of a food, drink, or mixed meal. The score incorporates cutting-edge science on how characteristics of more than 8,000 […]

What’s Worse Than Smoking?

By |2023-02-02T10:15:30+00:00February 2nd, 2023|Lifestyle|

You, like most of your health-conscious friends, would probably do everything in your power to give up smoking because you know it’s a life shortening activity.

Yet there’s a danger that comes from another bad habit that’s not well known. It’s not something people do, it something people don’t do…

I’m talking about exercising to maintain muscle strength.

Non-exercisers could claim there’s nothing to directly link muscle weakness with biological aging. But that’s not true. Scientists have discovered more new research that links weak muscles to faster aging.

The Weak Muscle Link to Aging 

An abundance of evidence links muscular weakness – as determined […]

When “Feeling Tired” Is Something More Serious…

By |2023-01-26T12:23:59+00:00January 26th, 2023|Natural Health|

Feeling tired? That’s understandable if you’ve had a busy day at the office, thrown yourself into yardwork or just completed an aerobics session. But what if you’ve done nothing more than water the plants or watch TV?

How fatigued certain activities make an older person feel is not something to take lightly. A recent study shows your level of fatigue can indicate health trouble is brewing and even predict the likelihood of your death within the next three years.

Here’s the story and how to measure your own fatigue level…

Older people often feel tired. Common it may be, but this symptom shouldn’t […]

Genes or Age – What Determines The Quality of Your Golden Years?

By |2023-01-19T10:29:36+00:00January 19th, 2023|Natural Health|

Even late in life we still hope to ascend flights of stairs, decipher puzzles, and steer clear of infirmity and serious disease. But many believe such desirable outcomes are out of our hands due to our genetic history.

A new study shows this thinking is all wrong. In fact, your DNA matters less as you grow older. Here’s the good news and how you can use it to age better…

The level at which genes are expressed — ratcheted up or down in activity — determines everything from our hormone levels and metabolism to the mobilization of enzymes that repair the body.

What Is The “Perfect” Anti-Aging Diet?

By |2023-01-13T14:44:13+00:00January 12th, 2023|Nutrition|

How do the foods we choose to eat and the nutrients within them affect how we age? It’s a very simple question, yet the answer is anything but simple.

Manipulating a single dietary factor such as calorie intake, or a single nutrient such as vitamin C, only gives us a partial picture of their true effects. To see the full picture, we need to take a much broader approach.

According to the latest scientific research, the “perfect” anti-aging diet and lifestyle depends a lot on your age and stage in life.

The idea of optimum nutrition is complex because it depends on so […]
