Surefire Antidote to Anti-Aging Claims
Q: There are so many products touting “anti-aging” effects. Is there a more surefire approach?
A: You’re right to question those claims. Aging starts the minute you are born, and your health and appearance at any given age reflect the cumulative effect of your lifestyle, including your diet and exercise habits, as well as your genes.
One new study in American Journal of Physiology-Endocrinology and Metabolism showed that resistance training, long known to help with bone density, may help slow the aging process. Women who did resistance exercises for 24 weeks produced more human growth hormone (a “longevity” hormone whose levels start dwindling after about age 30) than the control group.
What’s more, heavier weights were found to produce more growth hormone than lighter weights. If you don’t do resistance training, start now. Check out bodyandsoulmag.com
for a simple routine you can do at home or at the gym.

Jessica, look at your digestion too. Once I started drinking raw milk (Weston Price Foundation) which gives you plent of probiotics and enzynmes, eating other probiotic rich foods (fermented) plus taking the right supplements my digetion started to improve and my immune system improved with it. Another factor, if your in this age group, could be menopause. As hormones dip our immune system may suffer. There are progressive Dr out there who can help with these issue.
Good luck!

Jessica, I have a lot of ways you can help yourself. The first would be an internal cleanse. Let me know if you would like my help. Have a great day!

I get sick a lot throughout the year. I'm sick of it. It ranges. I get strep throat at least once a year. I just got over two sinus infections in a row. It has only been like 3 months and I'm sick! Not sure. Could be a cold. I think it's my immune system. What do you think? Also, please give me some ideas of what I could do to help myself. Thank you, Jess
