Feeling powerless in the inevitable battle against aging? Maybe you’ve resigned yourself to simply “aging gracefully.” But, what if you want to stare old age in the face and tell it to get lost?
Thanks to scientific research in the last 50 years, we now know that you can slow down the hands of time and, as a result, slow the effects of aging, just by doing a few simple things every day.
Here’s a look at 10 things you can do right now to win the battle against aging:
1. Start Exercising Regularly; We all have had the concept of exercising to ward off or reverse obesity drilled into our heads. But hitting the gym on a regular basis isn’t just about fitting into your favorite outfit or looking good when you’re lying out at the beach.
Research shows that regular exercise helps slow down the aging process. You see, your body naturally wants to be fit and active. It’s what our bodies were made for. As you get your body in shape, you’ll get rid of stress and help reverse the effects of aging.
2. Whatever You Do, Don’t Smoke; Lighting up a cigarette is just about the worst thing you can do for your body. Smoking isn’t just about your lungs. The toxins and chemicals in tobacco products affect your whole body, effectively killing off cells all around your body with every puff.
You age because your cells die off. And killing them intentionally is no way to prevent the effects of aging. From wrinkled skin to yellowed teeth to blackened lungs, smoking will get you absolutely nowhere in the battle against Father Time.
3. Increase Your Antioxidants; If you’ve never heard of a little thing called free radicals, it’s time to pay attention. Free radicals are rogue atoms or groups of atoms that move around your body, effectively destroying healthy cells. Free radicals are created by stress, toxins in our environment, and several other factors.
So, what’s the most effective weapon against free radicals? Antioxidants. You know, the ones that come from the essential vitamins and minerals found in natural foods.
Even if you’re like most Americans who aren’t getting enough whole, nutritionally complete foods, the American Medical Association says that a daily multivitamin could be one big key to added health for everyone.
You just have to make sure that your multivitamin includes the right combination of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants to help you win the battle against aging. Isagenix™ has created a proven, winning combination with the Ageless Essentials™ Daily Pack, which delivers all of the nutrients you’re likely not getting in your daily diet.
4. Decrease the Stress in Your Life; Stress is a proven factor in aging. Stress can increase the number of free radicals wreaking havoc in your body, which ages your cells dramatically.
Find effective ways to decrease the amount of stress by using your lunch break to blow off steam in the gym, trying relaxing practices such as meditation or yoga, or just learning how to take a deep breath and relax every now and then.
5. Lose Weight the Right Way; Obesity affects more than just your self esteem or your ability to fit into your favorite pair of old blue jeans. Maintaining a healthy weight is essential to ensuring a longer, healthier life. But before you start crash dieting, the key to healthy weight loss is to give your body the appropriate amount of calories every day while curbing cravings and getting enough exercise to get yourself to an appropriate weight.
That’s why we’ve created a complete line of meal replacement IsaLean® Shakes, so instead of your 600-calorie hamburger and 400-calorie plate of French fries, you can enjoy a nutritionally balanced combination of healthy fats, proteins and carbohydrates that will help you maintain a healthy weight.
6. Take Fish Oil; If you haven’t heard of Omega-3 fatty acids, then you haven’t heard about one of the most revolutionary health discoveries of the last half century. Omega-3 has been shown to have remarkable effects on your body’s ability to grow and maintain brain cells, heart cells and other essential functions around the body.
Whether you increase your fish intake − such as salmon, tuna or halibut − or take a daily supplement, don’t miss out on this easy opportunity to help your body along and fight aging. The fish oil in Isagenix™ IsaOmega Supreme® is sourced from the deep, unpolluted waters of Norway and goes through a molecular distillation process that creates the most concentrated oil available.
7. Get Enough Sleep; Like recharging your cell phone at night, sleep is the body’s way of recharging itself after the rigors of a long, stressful day. Getting enough sleep every night has been proven to ward off a host of maladies, and now we know that proper rest can lessen the effects of aging.
If you have trouble falling asleep, try unplugging the TV in your bedroom or picking up a book. Establish a pattern at night that your body can get used to and you’ll train your body to fall asleep more easily.
8. Play Mind Games; Your body isn’t the only thing getting older every day. For some people, the mind goes long before the body. Just like it’s important to exercise your joints and muscles, it’s equally as important to exercise your mind. In today’s TV smorgasbord, it’s easy to let the mind wander and not get it the stimulation it needs.
Pick up a crossword puzzle or a number puzzle like Sudoku on a regular basis to keep your brain sharp. Try to learn something new every day.
9. Detox Every Day; Our world is full of pollution, toxins, chemicals and tons of other substances that just aren’t good for our body. But sitting in your house with the windows boarded up or living in a bubble is just not a realistic solution.
That’s why Isagenix™ created Cleanse for Life® — to help you get rid of the toxins you encounter on a daily basis. The daily cleansing and periodic deep cleansing provided by Cleanse for Life helps guard your body against harmful toxins, thus giving you a better chance in the battle against aging.
10. Protect Your Telomeres; Science has discovered an exciting new biomarker of aging—telomere health. Telomeres are the protective caps of chromosomes that shorten due to normal aging and certain environmental factors. Telomere shortening has been linked to poor health and accelerated aging. Major contributors include: Oxidative stress, stress, exposure to toxins, poor nutrition and obesity
