"You will never be as young as now - this minute, this second, this moment." This wisdom calls to value life, youth and enjoy the moment "here and now". It's easy to say if you are twenty or twenty-five. It seems that youth is a stretchable concept, and anyone can grow old, but not me. But age steadily takes its toll, and here in the corners of the eyes the first wrinkles-rays are laid, the skin dries up, the hair becomes thinner, and the body stops working with the accuracy of the Swiss clock. What is it? Old age is claimed by those who are already accustomed to it and have entered into an active struggle for the extension of youth. But are there ways to stop aging?
Aging factors that destroy the body from the inside
Old age, as scientists say, can be delayed. But before you engage in battle with one of the most insidious and strong opponents, it is worth knowing his "biography". The patterns, properties, nature of old age have long been studied. The pace of aging processes determines health. Energy, clarity of mind, memory, the functionality of all systems and the mobility of the body depend on the well-coordinated work of the whole organism, controlling which it is possible to postpone old age in a long box.- Inflammation. Inflammation the body reacts to injuries and pathogens. Any inflammatory process is controlled by the immune system. It detoxifies the infection with the help of leukocytes and heals the damage with anti-inflammatory hormones, after which the stage of recovery comes. But sometimes inflammation goes out of control and healing in the tissues of the body is delayed, turning into a dangerous chronic.
- Oxidation. To explain the oxidation processes, it is compared with the rusting of iron. In the case of the body, too much oxidation destroys its cells and causes irreversible changes in them. During this process, many free radicals are released, which cause not only too rapid aging, but also dangerous diseases such as oncology. Accumulation of radicals eliminates all known antioxidants.
- Non-enzymatic glycosylation. Such a complex term refers to the process of binding of protein and sugar molecules, which the body gives food. This substance envelops the organs, taking away their elasticity, breaking the cellular metabolism, launching the processes of rapid aging and causing serious diseases that take not only youth but life.
- Methylation. This is a vital biochemical process of assimilation and distribution of vitamins and other elements. It is directly linked to DNA. When his work is coordinated, the metabolism is balanced, contributing to the suspension of aging and prolongation of life.
- Low immunity. With age, immunity, protecting the body from harmful bacteria and viruses, ceases to function fully. The organism remains vulnerable to millions of pathogens, which, among other things, become a victim of youth.
How today to stop aging?
Mike Moreno is sure that if aging can not be reversed, then it must be stopped, focusing its actions on eliminating or at least mitigating each risk factor. All the factors of aging are interrelated, and the positive impact on at least one of them will entail changes in the other four factors.- Prevent and stop inflammatory processes
- Physical exercises. About their benefits, even for a healthy organism is said how much, that there is no point to dwell on it. Dr. Moreno advises to pick up that complex of exercises that will not only be useful, but also enjoyable. Under the exercises, he means any load - from a half-hour walk to energetic dances, the lessons of which are brought to the system.
- High-grade food. To reduce the risk of inflammation in the daily menu, the right fats should be included: Omega-3 fatty acids (Extra virgin vegetable oil, fish, flax, nuts etc.) The second point is the consumption of the right carbohydrates. Fruits, vegetables, high fiber grains also significantly reduce the level of C-reactive protein, preventing or stopping inflammatory processes. In the list of anti-inflammatory products, Moreno included a moderate intake of milk and quality alcohol (no more portions per day).
- Prevent and stop oxidation
- Prevent and stop glycery
- Balance Methylation
- Eggs. Vitamin B-12 and folic acid perfectly balance the methylation. Scientists have proved that the cholesterol contained in the eggs, brings the body more benefits than harm. Norm: 1 yolk and two proteins a day.
- Seeds (sunflower, pumpkin or sesame). The generous content of folic acid in the seeds makes it possible to call them the main regulators of methylation.
- Strengthen immunity
- Hand washing (before meals and after the toilet).
- High-grade food.
- Refusal from smoking, alcohol and drugs.
- Justified and controlled use of antibiotics.
- Confession of a positive attitude to life.
