Anti-aging: Is it really possible?

Although it is obviously not possible to turn the clock back
entirely, we can take many steps now to ensure that not only do
we slow down the aging process, but we can also reverse many of
the signs of aging that we may presently be experiencing.

The biggest key in the fight against aging is of course our diet
and nutrition. The old adage, “you are what you eat” is
absolutely true! It is impossible to expect to be healthy and
vital if we are not eating the nutrients we need to keep our
bodies performing at its best.

I truly believe that the increase in lifestyle diseases that we
are presently seeing is in great part due to poor diets and junk
food. It is very important to try to increase the amount of
whole foods that we eat and decrease the amount of processed
foods that we eat.

Processed foods have almost no nutrients left in them … they
are considered “empty calories”. But even worse than that, the
preservatives, additives and chemicals that are in these
processed foods interfere with many bodily functions including
hormones. These chemical toxins are called “xenoestrogens” and
they often trigger a condition called “Estrogen Dominance”.

What is Estrogen Dominance? Simply explained, it is when the
ratio of Estrogen and Progesterone get out of whack and you have
higher levels of estrogen, compared to progesterone. There are
many things in our modern society that contribute to this
imbalance including birth control pills, caffeine, alcohol and
xenoestrogens (which are caused by external toxins and
pollutants like detergents, pesticides, plastics etc.), as well
as impaired liver function and even stress!

The hormonal imbalances caused by Estrogen Dominance have many
negative effects on the body and can make you feel a lot older
by triggering many symptoms like poor memory, “foggy brain”,
weight gain and difficulty losing weight, increased facial hair,
decreased sex drive, vaginal dryness, darkened skin
pigmentation, water retention and much, much more. Estrogen
Dominance also increases the risk of many lifestyle diseases
like cancer, fibrocystic breasts, breast cancer, Polycystic
Ovarian Syndrome and much more.

Estrogen Dominance is much more common than people think, thanks
to the world we live in. And it is happening to women at younger
and younger ages, even to women in their twenties or thirties!
So how do you combat estrogen dominance? One of the most
important changes you can make is losing weight if you are
overweight, since this triggers a vicious cycle of hormonal
imbalances and weight gain, especially in the abdominal area.

But of course, how you lose weight is just as important, if not
more, than just losing weight. If you lose weight following
unhealthy weight loss diets, you could be unbalancing your
hormones even more. The better method is to lose weight in a
slow, steady fashion by eating healthy, nutritious food and NOT
starving yourself.

If instead of following an unhealthy diet, you follow a healthy
eating program you will not only lose weight, but will have many
health benefits as well. Check out these little-known, powerful
anti-aging benefits you get from eating a healthy, balanced diet:

- Eating a healthy diet decreases free radical production
through proper nutrition, which is a powerful anti-aging
technique, as well as decreasing the risk of developing
different types of cancer – Eating healthy also helps to promote
anti-aging by lowering cholesterol and triglycerides to healthy
levels – When you follow a healthy diet and do not skip meals or
starve yourself, you actually speed up your metabolism and
increase fat burning capabilities. Dieting is one of the best
ways of slowing down your metabolism, which of course makes
losing weight very difficult. Yo-yo dieting is a good example of
this. Each time you lose weight and gain it back, you are
slowing down your metabolism so that each subsequent diet gets
harder and harder to lose weight. – It is also possible to make
a few simple changes to your diet so that the food you eat
stabilises your blood sugar levels and reduces insulin and
improves insulin resistance … ultimately decreasing the risk
of Diabetes. And did you know that Insulin is a major culprit in
weight gain? – And here is a very powerful anti-aging secret:
eating a healthy, balanced diet supports your liver! If your
liver works better, your body detoxifies more efficiently, which
improves all areas of your health (including cellulite reduction
the natural way), as well as supporting your immune system which
is of course very important for good health

And not only do unhealthy diets unbalance your hormones, one
thing that many people don’t think about when they decide to
lose weight following unhealthy fast weight loss diets: the
faster you lose weight, the bigger the chances that you will be
left with loose, sagging skin! A healthy eating program
decreases the chances of having loose, sagging skin, because you
lose weight in a slow, steady way, which gives your body a
chance to firm up your skin. There are also many foods you can
eat that promote healthy, firm skin tone. (The “Diet Free … At
Last!” Weight Loss Program teaches which foods promote
anti-aging and also which foods you can eat to help to improve
skin tone and prevent loose, sagging skin.)
