The quest for the fountain of youth and the desire for vitality, robust health and ageless skin is a flame that burns bright in each of us once our youth begins to fade and we begin our inevitable journey into middle age. Staying young is an inescapable fact that is brought to our attention every time we pick up a magazine, watch a television commercial or go shopping. As medical science brings us the affordable miracle treatments for trimming the extra fat and minimizing the look of aged skin and correcting sun damage. We have all begun to pay closer attention to our bodies and look forward to our natural aging process with a brighter future and less dread of our mortality.
We are so lucky to have available to all us the best complex vitamins, also in the form of Antioxidants and nutritional supplements on the market today! We all are aware that eating right, exercising and including the right anti-aging supplements in our diet is an integral part to feeling good and giving our skin the important nutrients to look young, firm and ageless.
Important recommendations for Anti-aging Vitamins & Supplements:
Vitamin E repairs the skin and creates a smooth texture
Vitamin C aids in strengthening the skin and also in building collagen.
Vitamin K aids in diminishing unsightly spider veins, age spots, lines, blotchy-looking skin, and also discoloration of the face.
Vitamin D with a mix of Calcium and Magnesium gives a super one- two punch when it comes to aiding in strong bones and osteoporosis support
Selenium an important trace mineral found naturally in the body. Selenium can protect against the effects of free radicals that are produced during normal oxygen metabolism( breathing)
A word about Antioxidants and their effects on Aging
Antioxidants play a huge role in the prevention of aging and our overall health. Just a few years ago the average person could not tell you what an antioxidant was let alone what role it played in their health. Now antioxidants have become the buzz word for health, fitness and anti-aging. They are included in almost every product that we use and we are told to eat a "Rich in Antioxidant" diet, but do you really know what an antioxidant is and whats so great about them?
In short, Antioxidants are found naturally in the food that we eat. They can also be taken orally through a Vitamin and supplement complex, or taken individually for certain reasons to achieve different health effects and results for different aliments.. Antioxidants are responsible for helping our bodies fight off the "Free Radical" damage caused to our bodies cells. The everyday use of antioxidant supplementation and following a healthy diet rich in antioxidant foods will drastically cut down on the breakdown of healthy cells that fall prey to free radicals. This may results in DNA damage to our skin caused by the everyday elements and more importantly, preventing cancer, heart disease and other debilitating diseases that are associated with the natural aging process such as Alzheimer's and Dementia
Very powerful Antioxidants:
Green Tea ( natural lose tea leaves or supplement)
Pomegranate (Juice or supplement)
Selenium ( Supplement, but best when included in your diet through natural food source)
Vitamin C ( fresh squeezed juice is best or supplement)
Grapeseed Extract ( promotes a firm toned texture to the skin)
Alpha-Lipoic Acid ( protects against free radical damage)
Acelyl-L- Carnitine ( supports brain function)
Spirulina ( natural powder form or supplement) Great when mixed into smoothies or juice
Green Algae ( found naturally in seaweed products and in supplement form)
Garlic ( natural, fresh garlic is most potent. Supplements are available for those of you that are offended by the pungent order of garlic)
*There are many other antioxidants that should be included in your diet, these are just a short list of some very powerful antioxidants that are known to fight heart disease, promote fast weight loss, keep away the flu and cold bug, naturally cleanse your colon and digestive tract and protect healthy brain and cognitive memory function.
Anti-aging Skin Care Products
There are countless claims out there that miracles can happen right out of a bottle! Well, not really, before you pay a few hundred dollars for an ounce of serum or exotic cream make sure you do your research. Some of the best anti-aging skin care products should be derive from natural ingredients and extracts. It may be wise to visit a specialty store to purchase these products and speak with a trained person who knows about the use of the product. Not everyone is looking for the same results. Our age and type of skin should be a determining factor to our product purchase. If you do not have the time to spend looking into Vitamins, antioxidants and skin care then perhaps a visit on line to a unique health site would work. Tophealthspot.com is great place to shop. You will love all the name brand products along with full product advice. Everything suggested in this article can be found at Tophealthspot.com. Yes, there are some very excellent products out there that do in turn produce some very good results, almost amazing, but the most important thing to remember is that Aging is a very complicated chemical and mental process that goes on with our body and state of mind. So the same should be said when dealing with our approach to anti-aging. Our course of action is very important and should include some key aspects to go about it the right way. If you do not carefully incorporate all of these important steps, then the most expensive creams and treatments will never have the desired effect you are looking for.
Secrets to Ant-aging:
Start Young, your mid 20's is a good time to pay attention to a proper diet and exercise, sun exposure and use of Serious skin care products Hydrate yourself. Your skin is your largest organ, it is like a sponge and is made up of millions of cells that absorb water. When they are properly hydrated they are full and plump giving a health dewy glow to you face and body. Proper hydration is also essential to organ function
Vitamin & Antioxidant supplements are very important to maintaining your immune system and keeping strong and healthy. It is nearly impossible to get all the nutrients from food. We are not always able to eat right and get the proper amount of vitamins and minerals your body needs, use these as your safety net
Keep your sun exposure to the bare minimum. Always apply proper sun protection daily. Do not spend long periods out in the hot mid-day sun. Hat and UVB sunglasses are a must. Remember that the cold and the winter sun can also play havoc with your complexion. Wind burn is just as damaging as a sun burn.
Sleep is essential to your ant-aging plan.. It is during the sleep hours that our body truly rest and repairs itself. When you are sleep deprived your complexion will suffer and your mental state will not be as sharp. Loss of sleep can also lead to weight gain.
Proper Diet, you are what you eat! Concentrate on eating a well rounded diet. Try to cut out white sugars and starches, all fatty and fried food as well as watching your alcohol consumption. Keep your calories according to your height, weight and activity level, we tend to gain weight easily as we age due to a slower metabolism.
Exercise should be included in your daily routine. Take the time to do some kind of aerobic activity for at least 30 minutes per day Walking, dancing, yoga, bicycle riding. Try to do some form of weight or resistance training at least 3 times per week for 20 minutes. All very good recommendations for staying young and fit through out our years. Regular exercise is great for good muscle tone and keeping flexible it's great for your blood pressure level and your heart health.
Stress is a silent killer and it will age you faster than all of the above mentioned. Stress must be managed and held to the bare minimum. This is easier than you think. Here is a very simple rule of thumb:
Change the things that you can and accept the things that you cannot.
Mental health & attitude. Next to Stress this is the second most important thing on the list. Your age is only a number that means nothing. Think young, read, engage your mind. Keep a positive outlook on everything that you do. Plan for the future no matter how old you are... and remember our dreams don't retire!
Enjoy your life, Live, Laugh, Love.....These are the secrets to anti-aging.

By: Goldie42 | 05-11-2008
I am a female who lives in the midwest. I have worked for and lived with a so called good friend who has in the past 16 years been very, very controlling and abusive enough for me to have to phone the police on one occassion. Due to our work and business, we worked through that with couseling and continued working very hard running two companies contracted with very large companies all Americans would know of, they are transportation corporations. As of 4/01/06 we had been underbid on our contract's and since then I have had a large lawsuit in excess of 90,000.00 from 2004. My male friend, whom I still live with, put all his eggs in one basket and took out a large loan, (I was suprised/shocked that it was the same amount as my lawsuit). I asked why he was taking out a large loan, we didn't need the money he didn't want me to get involved with what he was doing, it was for stocks, I was only to get information on good companies and read up on many good ones to invest in. I gave him some great ones which still are good yet not worth as much as two years ago. I notified him last November that I will be dismissing my lawsuit case and I will have one year left to change my mind to sue these two drs. He smiled from ear to ear. I was tired of all the work I had to do and all the appointments for doctors and all the bills I had paid. It was like a huge relief for me, enough punishment for the two doctors, they can keep their practice, I'm not a mean person but they very well did make a huge/large life threatening error. After about 5 months my partner, male friend and I both were still unemployed yet I continued to still have to have surgery several times and had many follow up doctor appt's. I was going for a job interview and a woman with diabete's, slammed into my drivers side of my car after flying through a red light and missing the 3 cars in front of me. She got me good too, she kept going and finally I found out the police were chasing her prior to her hitting me. I went through all I had to Physical therapy, again, surgery for my neck and back and each time I am away from home, (It's a very large house), everything I have is gone through, some things come up missing and I asked my friend if he has seen anything that was missing or if he's been upstairs? (It's a full 2 bedroom 1 full bath, kitchen, living room and closets where my kids keep their valuables, I keep my valuables and when they visit they stay upstairs. My mate/friend had been going back and forth to the VA hospital for doctor appointments, he said to me that he wanted to get disability. He is a veteran, I don't notice anything physically wrong with him but he states he does not want to work, he wants to retire. He was getting more and more upset at me and telling me to get an attorney to sue the two doctors in which I dismissed the lawsuit on. He wanted the money badly. He continued to bug me and yell at me to call more and more attorney's and ge the best. I really saw greed in him and noticed him going backwards in life, he was starting to smoke pot again, drink again, take my pain medicine and his medicine with it and I continued to find my things missing. I know that he has a huge problem with his temper and I didn't want him to touch me, I have to ask him things at the right time or in the right way and watch his actions to see if he is telling me the truth or lying. He enjoys moving my things around and telling me I misplaced something. LOL! I know better, good try, I've been memorizing everything due to his games for two years! I had my doctor cut my medicine back to less, I can deal with pain and be aware, it's better for me. I don't want to see myself going down the road he's on. I'm not simply missing one box or two boxes of winter clothes and some autographed baseball's, yes I enjoy baseball too. I have about 5 large boxes or 6 filled with very expensive wool sweaters, glove's boots and all winter things for my car, - how in the heck can all this be hidden? He won't look me in the eye, he will yell at the top of his lungs and tell me he did not steal them, without me saying he stole them or asking if he took them, but he also states he did not toss them either! I'm pissed, sorry about the language, I've worked my butt off for years for everything I own, all my kids cherish and keep here in Chicago, and all others have given to me as gifts, and what I've bought as some jewelry is all diamonds and some is old and antiques. My other antiques have somehow disappeared. The only person going upstairs is him to, "smoke a joint". Right??? I don't know and really now have put the entire story. I know he is upset over the money, I know he is also upset that I have a lawsuit pending from a vehichle accident which I wasn't going to sue the woman, my atty. told me I was. I feel like I'm going to quit, just keep on working my piddly job and do my very best to move out and once again start over before I turn 50 or get too old to enjoy life or get too angry or bitter or something. I hate to blame someone, yet when nothing is where I put it, where the heck is it!???? Who is telling a lie here? What is going on, anyone ever been in this position? email me....lauren.h@comcast.net
