Anti-aging, Vitality and Essential Oils
Searching the web for ‘anti-aging‘ you will come across a myriad of anti-aging products from serums, creams, and supplements to costly treatments. How does anti-aging work? Can you support anti-aging on a cellular level? If you are still in search of answers, I hope this article will help.
When talking about anti-aging we have to look at two main aspects:
- preventative approach AND
- combating effects of aging
Aging is a natural process — but how well we age is largely a result of a combination of lifestyle choices coupled with fortifying the body with nutrients essential to supporting the body’s biological processes at optimal levels and supporting metabolism.*
NAD is a coenzyme central to metabolism which is found in all living cells. At around age 50, we only produce about 50% of NAD compared to young adults. NAD helps metabolize food, turning energy from the macronutrients in foods we eat into energy cells can use (ATP) to carry out cell functions, cell reproduction, and cell repair. NAD plays a key role in longevity and long-term cellular health. On clinicaltrials.gov more than 1,000 trials have been published investigating the role and benefits of NAD. Some of these studies are looking at NAD levels and age related skin conditions, cardiovascular disease, age related muscle mass loss, osteoarthritis, vision loss from macular degeneration, age related hearing loss and cognitive impairment. NAD is involved in defending cells from toxins and stress and mitochondrial function.
So, as we age, making lifestyle choices that replenish NAD become increasingly important:
- Healthy nutrition (less sugar, alcohol and fatty foods and more foods high in Vitamin B like peanuts, avocado, sunflower seed, lentils, lima beans, chicken, fish, eggs for example, plus good supplementation – here is a link to more information about aging and lifelong vitality the LLV supplement I started taking years ago – also available in vegan)*
- Daily exercise (30 min of exercise can help boost metabolism and stimulate NAD production)
- Supplements that help boost metabolism (MetaPWR)*
- Essential oils that support healthy metabolism*
- Good Skin Care (protection from sun damage, sunscreen, skin treatments hydrating and rejuvenating the skin, plus collagen stimulating treatments or supplements – download eBook ‘ My Secrets to Youthful Looking Skin’)
Importance of metabolic health in anti-aging:
We all know that metabolism influences weight and body composition, but did you know that it is also a key factor for how energetic you feel, your cognitive performance, and sleep? Your metabolic health and biological age are inseparable! That’s where MetaPWR comes in, a combination of essential oils and supplements designed to support healthy metabolism and longevity.* The difference between ‘life-span’ and ‘health-span’ really comes down to ‘metabolism’ and with only 6.8% of American adults having optimal cardiometabolic health meaning many of us carry too much weight, have blood glucose levels , blood lipid levels and blood pressure that are out of range, or have a history of cardiovascular events. Looking at this statistic it becomes clear that most of us can benefit from metabolic health support.
