Bath Anti-Ageing & Weight Loss

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.

CHOCOLATE HELPS YOU TO LOSE WEIGHT!

Cocoa is great fun for everyone especially kids. Ihave an unbelievable news for you: Now you can transform your cravings forchocolate into super-nutrition with RAW chocolate. This is an incredible hopefor chocoholics everywhere.

Various studies have concluded that RAW Cocoa beans is a source of high energy as well a weight loss enhancer. It is one ofthe best natural sources of the following nutrients: Anti-oxidants, Magnesium,Iron, Chromium, Manganese, Zinc, Copper, Vitamin-,A, C,B1, D, and C Omega-6fatty acids, Serotonin, tryptophan, Fibre and Caffeine.

Some of these nutrients, such as Serotonin and Tryptophan can lower depression and improve mood which is a key cause of emotional eating. These nutrients can also generate motivation and pleasure.Cocoa is also rich in Fibre which blocks the absorption of fat, provides afeeling of fullness and helps eliminate waste. Cocoa also helps maintain sugarlevels so that there is no excess sugar that can turn into far. Also, when youeat raw chocolate you are unlikely to snack on more sweets or deserts there foreyou minimise your calorie intake. Cocoa is also act as an anti-bacterial agent which is capable of eliminating some bacteria that is responsible for obesity. Raw chocolate can decrease the acidity in the stomach and therefore improve digestion.

Be selective when buying chocolates because youwant to make sure that whatever you buy contains as much cocoa and as little aspossible of the harmful contents such as Hydrogenated Vegetable Oils (HVO) andsugar. Chocolates have a wide price range, some are more expensive than others.Choose the more expensive chocolates because they contain more cocoa and lesssugar and saturated fat.

 So, with all these benefits you have the greenlight to eat raw unprocessed cocoa or dark chocolate and expect to feel goodand lose weight. You can get your cocoa beans (with or without skin) or cocoa powder supply from health shops

Eating colourful fruits and vegetables each day is a great start

Including lots of fruit and vegetables can also compromise the immune and digestive systems and, ultimately, long term health. By Eating the same type of food every day is not only boring but could lead to deficiencies in certain nutrients if the foods are lacking in key nutrients.

Colorful fruits and vegetables like broccoli, like tomatoes, like carrots, like oranges have lots of different antioxidants, lots of different phyto chemicals. To increase your energy and give your body an invigorating year-long treat... Upgrade to colourful foods and enjoy mountains of delicious, fresh food!

Let's look at the positives:
• Colourful foods have no preservatives, no added colour!
• Provide an abundance of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, fibre, water and trace elements.
• Have a high water content - an excellent source of hydration for the body.
• Are visually appetising.
• Their firm textures demand a good chew, so we eat them more slowly and feel full up afterwards.
• Are quickly and easily processed and assimilated by the body - less work for the digestive system.
• Are safer - contain less undesirable man-made chemicals.
• Are as nature intended (unlike processed, pre-packaged modern fast foods!)
• Are pure energy - living food!

And the negatives:

• Colourful Foods have no negatives.
• They are 100% good for you!

Compare the above list to consuming cooked foods:

• Heat destroys the vitalising nutrients in colourful foods. So much so that sometimes, you may as well be eating cardboard for all the good it does your body!

• The effectiveness of fibre in cooked fresh foods is reduced - vegetables that are floppy and overcooked pass through the body with reduced "cleansing" action. If you cook vegetables, always steam them lightly and aim to retain their "crunch"!

• Cooked vegetables tend to turn out soft and therefore require less chewing, which means they are usually eaten more quickly, so are less satisfying.

• Heat also destroys the enzymes in fresh foods, which are essential for digestion. This means the body has to tap into its own precious supply of enzymes to support the digestive process.

• Nature did not intend her beautiful colourful foods to be ruined by heat... just look how pale they look when cooked, isn't that enough of a clue?

Eating colourful fruits and vegetables each day is a great start...
