Forever Young: How To Fight The Aging Process

[DrDln]

FOREVER YOUNG for your Kindle

Forever young isn't just about adding years to your life or for seniors only. It's about helping you function at peak capacity throughout life, feeling great, and being able to do all the things that make life worth living. It's about being biologically or functionally young, regardless of your chronological age.

You will find not only scientific theories about aging and how to apply for keeping young. But common sense tips and lifestyles of centenarians: Adopt the Life Style associated with Longevity--regular exercise, low fat diet, no smoking, moderate drinking, sleeping seven or eight hours-but not less than six or more than nine, using mental abilities, discipline, altruism, optimism, spiritual faith and above all love of life. The list continues to include active life-having a reason for living, an active sex life, controlling stress, good marriage and social life, proper use of lungs, intercostal muscles and diaphragm for specific deep Breathing Exercises to Slow Aging.

Before you can prevent, slow or reverse them--Recognize Signs of Aging that may include: (1) Decreased lung function (2) Change in pupil size-indicated by reduced illumination or decreased ability to focus (3) Bone loss (4) Sleep variations (5) Physiological changes that are mostly familiar to us--wrinkled skin, loss of stature, poor blood circulation, decreased short-term memory and other sensory loss.

The book recommends based on scientific findings: (1) Use antioxidants such as Vitamins E and C, and Selenium (2) Lower polyunsaturated (vegetable oils) fat in diet (3) Diet to slow autoimmune aging (4) Consume Nucleic Acids (DNA, RNA) to repair age-related damage. (5) Use of Melatonin (non-prescription hormone that body produces naturally but its production declines with age) is promising -- but we're not sure about long term effects. (6) Keep Young with Biochemicals that are SAFE and NATURAL such as certain vitamins, and enzymes--many of them are present in natural foods.

This guide also gives some tests of biological or functional age. Do it for fun with your family and see how people of different ages score.

Interesting. Only problem with a book on the subject of aging is that you won't know til years later how well you applied the information.

That will be true, if we are testing a specific theory. This book focuses more on prevention. So the impact of feeling energy and other functions that slow with aging is almost instant. Thanks for your interest. I do wish you the very best.

Touche. An ounce of prevention and so forth. I certainly don't like having to get older though the only alternative is even worse of course.

Getting older or dying young is a common human dilemma. All of us non-spiritual beings have these feelings.

Only a spiritual person is not afraid of dying young or getting old. [From characteristic of a spiritual person in "Science, Religion & Spirituality]

I like the spiritual touch in your comments, Crich. Thanks.

If by 'non-spiritual' you mean those of us still in the physical world I can honestly say I agree. Even if a person has a belief in something that comes after physical aging and death most of us aren't in any hurry to have the experience. It's just plane old human nature to fear death, which is, of course, the natural result of aging.

Fear of aging and death as human nature, I have to agree. That's is the negative part of our species with tremendous thinking power.

When I talk spiritual and non-spiritual, I always mean in this world. No body knows for sure what comes after death. That's why it's controversial. To overcome fear in this life is the challenge that spirituality is all about, IMHO.
Thanks for your interest.
