Anti Aging Formula – More Ways to Stop the Biological Clock
Is there an anti aging formula or guide to stop the biological clock? Aging for the adult population today is not like it was for our parents.
To say that 'we have come a long way baby', is an understatement.
When my mother was in her late 40's, she weighed over 200 pounds, had pure white hair, and looked like she was in her late 50’s. She was OK with that.
I’m almost 50 and look like I’m in my early 40’s, and want to look like I’m in my 30’s. Each day I work harder and *smarter to STOP THE CLOCK.
(*Older and wiser DOES have its advantages!)
There is a huge difference in what we should expect to look like and what we will look like, if you aren’t willing to work at it. A lot depends on the formula you use to stop the aging process.
Aging is not what we do, its what we don’t do.
The human body is designed to last approximately 110 years.
Envision yourself at age 50, if you’re not there yet. Will your body last?
If you're already in your 50's, will your body hold up another 50 years??
There are some basic ways to combat the aging process if you are willing to implement them. If you can create balance in your life, you can really slow down the sands of time!
Simple Anti Aging Formula
#1) Exercise – No one wants to hear this, but exercise might be the only part of the anti aging formula you’re missing.
If you don’t exercise, you send your muscles straight into atrophy. (To waste away, emaciation.) Atrophy contributes to loss of muscle and bone mass. If you want to stop the biological clock, you must make time for at least 20 - 30 minutes of exercise 3 days a week, or 10 minutes of exercise everyday.
I suggest alternating aerobic exercise with weight bearing exercise for maximum results. With exercise you can prevent age related increases in blood pressure, cholesterol, weight, and triglycerides.
Even low level exercise has benefits, like housework or even walking the mall. If you have lower back pain, use equipment like a Bally Total Fitness Ball. Exercise balls come with exercise instructions that help target every major muscle group. Trim your waist and strengthen abs using inexpensive discs that you twist on. The J Fit Fitness Disc is an excellent way to get your heart rate going and your body moving!
#2) EAT FRUIT – Fruits have antioxidants. Antioxidants help eliminate damaging free radical cells in your body.
Fruits also add beneficial fiber to your diet.
Fruits are fresh, delicious, and appealing.
Even if you take antioxidant supplements everyday, (like I do), you should incorporate as much fruit into the diet as you can. An apple a day keeps the doctor away! Unless you are a hypochondriac, you probably don't like going to the doctors office!~ Fruit is an integral part of the anti aging formula!
Keep the doctor away and eat fruit!
#3) Eat Loads of Green Vegetables – You’ve heard it all before, but its true. Green vegetables and leafy green vegetables have NO FAT, and NO CHOLESTEROL, which assist you in lowering your weight, blood pressure, and prevalence of clogged arteries.
They also have lots of antioxidants too. Green vegetables are PACKED with Beta Carotene/Vitamin A and Calcium. The food you eat is vitally important to overall health. Learn all you can about it!
#4) Drink Water - You cannot keep your body properly hydrated without sufficient hydration. You should drink water from the time you get up till the time you go to bed.
Drinking water is the one thing that every person can benefit from.
When I first met my last husband, he told me that water ‘rusted his pipes’. However, the longer he lived with me, the more he began to drink it. He actually liked it by the time we separated.
Just because you don’t like it now, doesn’t mean you can’t learn to like it!

#5) Get Busy and Do Something – If you have a purpose in life, you will live longer.
An idle mind wastes away.
A busy mind helps regenerate brain cells. It also stimulates and expands brain power.
If you’re not using something, it will lose its ability to function properly.
My son often reminds me when I'm struggling with problem solving to 'Use Your Brain Mom!'.
Use your brain cells and give meaning and purpose to your life at the same time. You can’t get involved in life if you don’t do anything meaningful and worthwhile. Don't walk around in circles wondering what to do next. Start somewhere! Brain power is a magical part of the anti aging formula. It only requires that you 'think often'.
When you get involved with the community, it also helps ward off depression, which can age you very quickly!
#6) Have a Drink - New studies have shown that a glass of red wine a day can actually lower the bad LDL cholesterol, raise good HDL cholesterol, and help lower blood pressure.
Although this tip is not for everyone, it can help add years to your life if you allow yourself moderate alcohol consumption. (Key word 'moderation')
You don't want to drink so much that you defeat the purpose! You may just end up with a banging hangover!
#7) Get Rid of The Bulge - The risks associated with abdominal obesity are diabetes, hypertension, certain cancers, stroke, and cardiovascular disease. In women, your waist circumference should not be over 35", while in men the circumference measurement is around 40".
One of the best ways to kick start weight loss, is to do a health cleanse. Millions of people, including myself, have already given health cleanses the green light for weight loss success. Most people report losing 10 - 20 pounds within the first 9 days! These are definitely worth checking into, if you have fat to lose. You too, can lose weight and Look Great!
#9) Take Antiaging Vitamin Supplements! - Key anti aging vitamin supplements keep your body functioning at a maximum and are essential for skin rejuvenation and repair. Did you know for example that B Complex Vitamins are called Beauty Vitamins? Why? Because they are essential if you want beautiful skin, hair and nails!
#10) Take Care of Your Precious Skin! - Your skin care regimen is VITALLY important. Take care of your precious skin! Keep your face clean, take your vitamins, and be sure to invest in some good lotions. There are some really great inexpensive lotions like Olay Regenerist you can buy for everyday wear and some other more targeted lotions and products, like Neutrogena Healthy Skin, and Neutrogena Advanced Solutions, that will keep your skin renewed and refreshed. Learn about which ones you truly need and which products you can scrimp on.
Implementing this simple anti aging formula doesn’t take a lot of effort, although you gotta be willing to 'werk it baby'. If you want to be successful in life, you have to work at it some.
