“The Natural Anti-Aging Plan Summary”

You can, indeed, age slow and well. Naturally, you can expect results only if you take proper action and make meaningful lifestyle choices.

The desire to stay young and avoid aging has been present ever since ancient times. Society created myths about a legendary fountain and theories about some geographical regions. Ancient people believed that our predecessors lived hundreds of years.

These notions are also present in The Bible: Noah and Adam were supposedly more than 900 years old. Furthermore, in biblical times, people thought that youthfulness is contagious. They believed that if there are enough young individuals around you, they could pass on their youth and vigor to you.

The ancient Chinese, on the other hand, though that the answer to eternal life lies in one’s harmony with nature.

In any case, the fascination that this world had for youthfulness has always existed and will most probably continue to do so. In modern times, scientists are finally able to understand how and why aging occurs, and how one’s lifestyle can slow the process down.

Having found answers to most common illnesses related to age, they argue that biologically, the maximum lifespan is around 120 years. This number shows up not only in theory but also in practice. Some documented cases include people that lived up to or surpassed this figure.

Some of the researchers speculate that the advances made in medicine will extend human life and healthspan in the near future.

The US is the cradle of biological gerontology – a branch of science that deals with the reasons and mechanisms of aging. Some researchers of this problem also work in Britain, Australia, Canada and a few other countries.

The conducted research results in many theories that attempt to find the answers and explain why aging happens. Although none of them is conclusive, scientists agree on two points. First, people age because of genes, random damage, chemicals or toxic metabolism-byproducts, which are all damaging factors.

And second, people age due to the weak immune system, hormonal deficiencies and lack of energy, which prevents the proper reparation of damages.

Understanding your body and the reasons why it’s prone to aging, puts you in a better position to fight it. Contrary to what many people believe – that aging and diseases are connected, many scientists argue that aging is merely a stage of human development.

It is true that people get more vulnerable to certain illnesses in later life, but they are not inevitable. People can fight them by improving their nutrition and lifestyle choices, as well as trying to be as stress-free as possible. If you look at the statistics, you will find that the most common killers are strokes, cancer, and heart disease.  

Age is not a direct cause for any of them, on the contrary, life choices are their main problem.

Don’t feed your mind and body with negative thoughts. Don’t let worrying about getting old make you feel older than you are. Researchers all agree that optimism and happiness will ultimately lead you to a healthier and longer life.

The secrets of anti-aging

Focus on preventing illnesses instead of curing them. Theoretically, you can avoid most kind of strokes and heart problems, as well as other issues which are stress induced. Scientists argue that the mere prevention of these diseases can elongate human’s life by 10 to 30 years. In this way, premature dying would no longer be such a big problem.

An interesting fact is that all of our bodies are “carrying” two kinds of age: biological and chronological, which are not the same. Biological age is a reflection of the actual condition of our bodies. You can do a handful of tests and use specific questionnaires to determine this age.

You can attend to your body and try to live longer by increasing your physical activities, try out anti-aging foods and eat some supplements.
