All of us desire a younger-looking, healthier body
The current world we live in expects youth and assumes that we do not
age. There is a cheap, easy and a safe way to stay young and that is by
exercise. Researchers have stated that by being physically active you
could reduce your biological age by anything from 10 to 20
years. Physically active 60 and 70 year olds were found to have the same
cardiopulmonary fitness as sedentary 20 year olds. Those active elders
were found to be twice as fit as sedentary people of the same age. And
what makes this so appealing is how little exercise it takes to realize
the benefits. A recreational one hour a day was all it took.
Adding healthy years to your life span
Being biologically younger also means that you may live longer. This
is backed up by research which showed that subjects who burnt 2,000
calories a week (this is equivalent to running or walking 3 miles a day)
were up to a third lower than sedentary counterparts. Using innovative
analysis of computer data led researchers to conclude that a healthy
lifestyle including regular exercise starting at the age of 30, may
potentially add 15 years to life expectancy. Another study showed that
when subjects were asked to stay in bed for 3 weeks their aerobic
capacity aged by the equivalent of 20 years. Exercising however needs to
be regular with a frequency of at least 3 times a week. Such a
commitment will make you feel younger, work harder and enjoy life more.
Research has demonstrated that aerobic exercises such as swimming,
running, cycling and walking are the most effective anti-ageing
weapons. This is because of their demand for more oxygen which fuels the
body cells and allows them to perform at their best. It will also allow
you to think and move faster.
Wise nutrition choices enhance the anti-aging effect
The anti-aging effects of exercise may be enhanced by other healthy
lifestyle changes such as making wise nutrition choices. As we age we
lose lean muscle and to rebuild it we need both exercise and nutrition.
For exercise to be effective, you need to re-generate your body cells,
repair the damaged ones and feed the healthy ones to keep them healthy.
All of this should be done at the
cellular level and can be achieved by
cellular nutrition. Furthermore,
there are medical indicators for conditions such as diabetes, high
blood pressure and cholesterol that have a tendency to deteriorate as we
age. Reversing such a tendency which effectively means
turning the clock back will
require a nutritional intervention. Medical advice is paramount in
these cases and I can work with you on monitoring progress. As we age,
our bodies create higher levels of homocysteine. These raised levels can
significantly increase vulnerability to cardiovascular disease,
strokes, Alzheimer’s disease, osteoporosis and certain forms of
cancer. Again, to reverse this particular ageing effect we need a diet
rich in Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12 and folic acid. Also, when cells age
their telomeres shorten, to reverse this ageing effect a diet rich in
Omega-3 is needed. Cooking choices such as types of cooking oil and
cooking methods can dramatically improve the nutritional value of your
meal. All of these choices and many more are covered in the various
topics of the WLC that I run.
To summarize
Physical activity beats aging and will make you feel younger. It will
also add years of quality living to your life. So make it part of your
life and learn to enjoy it for the good it will do you. With that you
need to make healthy nutrition choices to enhance the benefits of
physical activity for a younger looking body and spirit.
Actions available to you.
If you are not active yet, my advice to you is to start now and start
slow. Do not let the lifestyle change daunt you. Start with a weekly
brisk walk then slowly increase the frequency to daily. It is an
effective start that will give you anti-aging benefits and put you in a
good condition for more rigorous activities such as swimming and
running. Join one of my Younger Body Age Challenges and my Fit Club for a
healthier younger you!
