Fight Aging

Developing an anti aging program is the newest scientific approach to helping you live a longer, healthier and more active life. Some of the greatest benefits include improved mental and cognitive function, stronger cardiovascular sys­tem, increased lean body mass and decreased body fat, improved sexual function, fewer wrinkles, thicker skin and better skin tone. The main components of anti-aging to include in your program are:

· Optimal nutrition;

· Proper skin care;

· Regular physical exercise;

· Hormone replacement therapy; and

· Lifestyle behavioral modifications such as stress management, reduced smok­ing and alcohol consumption.

Exercise is the simplest and least expensive anti-ag­ing tool. You can work with a personal trainer, and bet­ter yet, participation in a regular fitness program will provide you needed exercise benefits. Be sure to check with your physician before beginning any rigorous ex­ercise program.

If your body is armed with the ammunition to de­fend itself, your body will have stronger immunity and reduced disease, and you’ll find yourself seeking medi­cal attention less frequently. Through the synergistic action of all these components, anti-aging scientists have observed a significant change and even reversal of some aging effects. Now its your turn to observe these changes in your skin and body. Discuss additional op­tions for addressing changes to your skin with your skin care professional.
