After the age of 25 our bodies start to succumb to the effects of pollution and poor nutrition from processed foods in our diet. The result is a depletion of critical hormones, enzymes, and other vital chemicals that keep our bodies healthy. Because of this, supplementation should be considered as an important step to help rejuvenate our well being.Antioxidants known to provide protection against oxidative damage caused by free radicals which contribute to the aging process include vitamins E,C,K,A,B complex vitamins, beta-carotene, caretenoids, and selenium—a trace mineral that is among the most powerful of the antioxidant family.
Suggested anti-aging supplements include:
Cinnamon: Postpone the aging process with cinnamon. Insulin spikes in the blood produce an aging effect on the body, but cinnamon reduces the amount of insulin needed to handle high glycemic foods.
Ashwagandha: Known for its ability to counteract inflammation and to soothe stress.
Ginko Biloba Extract: Another memory enhancement technique involves boosting the energy output of brain cells. This extract improves blood flow, protects against free radicals, and is believed to improve memory. A scientific review found that ginko biloba is responsible for cognitive enhancement and anti-aging activity, including neuro protective effects. In a study of 236 Alzheimers patients, ginko biloba extract was found to stabilize dementia. Another study showed that treating rats with ginko biloba not only improved their brain function (learning and memory) but also significantly extended their lifespan.
Ginko Phytosome: binds standardized ginko biloba extract to natural soy phospholipids for twice the bio availability of conventional ginko extracts.
Coenzyme Q 10 (CoQ10): CoQ10 is an enzyme catalyst that is essential to creating energy within the cells. It is also an antioxidant with the very important work of protecting DNA within the cells. As we age, our ability to assimilate CoQ10 slows down. Supplementation of this vital nutrient can also help to protect critical organs including the brain, heart, liver, and kidneys. Food sources with the largest amounts of CoQ10 include mackerel, salmon, and sardines.
Neptune Krill Oil: Neptune Krill oil provides all natural omega-3 nutrition that comes from an Antarctic tiny shrimp-like crustation. This oil also contains a natural antioxidant flavonoid which protect EPA and DHA from degradation and provides valuable free radical protection for the body. It has been shown to be beneficial for heart health, cell membrane integrity, healthy blood lipid levels, brain function and joint health.
R-Fraction Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA): R-ALA is a super nerve and brain protector, encourages healthy cellular growth, protects the liver, maintains vision health, and supports healthy glucose metabolism.
