Health and quality of life as we age, come down to the balance of nutrition and what our bodies experience.
We all expect a little bit of wear and tear on our bodies as we age, Life after all is there for the living. We all indulge occasionally, but with a few careful strategies we can dramatically reduce how quickly we age, the risks of developing disease or pain, and even improve our level of vitality.
When you consider the impacts of stress, alcohol, pollution, processed diets, toxins in our environment and household cleaning and personal care products, it makes sense to be proactive and supplement, helping to restore nutritionally what we lose naturally, as part of our day to day activities.
Understanding the basics of chronic illness is the key to addressing the issue of aging. The simplest place to start is with the underlying conditions that lead to all chronic illness.
Aging is the sum of 3 main factors: inflammation, oxidation and acidosis.
By supporting our health through nutrition, reducing our exposure to toxic chemicals and stress, we are able to stop our cells from being bombarded by these processes, and allow the body to heal and stop the progression of chronic illness.
Our book Overcoming Illness explains how the foundation of all illness are these three components, visit our website for more articles and information about inflammaging.
The Anti aging solution is very simple.
It comes down to prioritising four things
Eating plenty of fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds and herbs, go a long way towards replenishing the nutrients we utilise daily. These plant-based foods are wonderful healers that contain powerful antioxidants, with anti-inflammatory and alkalising properties.
Drink plenty of clean water; every function within the body requires water to occur. We are over 70% water after all and detoxification processes rely on water to toxins out of the body effectively.
Meditate and practise Gratitude daily.
A positive mindset and building plenty of calm into your day, provide a healthy environment for optimum functioning with in the body, reducing levels of acidosis, oxidation and inflammation.
Choose to exercise in a way that nurtures your soul. What ever it is that moves you, embrace activity daily and Dance, Walk, Swim or Run. Feel the wind in your hair and lap up the health benefits.
Supplement
As our food and soils are no longer packed with the goodness of years ago, and the added digestive issues we seem to inherit as we age, you can also support your health by topping up with 3 supplements.
A powerful antioxidant, a great anti-inflammatory and a complete green food to help keep down acidosis.
