5 Anti-Aging Principles to Prevent Aging

Do you worry about aging and how you will maintain your health and vitality as you age?  I can already hear many of you saying `I`m young, why do I need to worry about getting old`.  Well, I`m going to tell you why.
Thanks to Dr. Michael Colgan for this content.
The average adult is aging all the time, every day, 24 hours a day. By age 25, more than 1,000 systems in the body begin to decline. Don’t wait to prevent aging until it becomes obvious. The time to begin is now.

Trouble is, most folk don’t have the faintest idea where to start, and most commercial information on the subject is worse than useless. Don’t be fooled and don’t be discouraged. Your body has miraculous power to change.

Here are five anti-aging principles to prevent aging.

1. Sufficient Sleep
2. Respect Your Circadian Rhythm
3. Little by Little Every Day
4. Concentrated Nutrition
5. Guard Your Microbiome

Act Now - TODAY. Make 2013 the year you begin to grow younger.

1. Sufficient Sleep The human body works on a 24–hour circadian rhythm, controlled by light. One-third of all physiological functions, including all recovery from stress, all muscle growth, all organ growth, all brain growth, occur during the sleep cycle. To maintain growth and recovery of your organs, do everything possible to get eight hours sleep per night - lifelong. Isagenix Sleep Support is a proven aid.
   
   
2. Respect Your Circadian Rhythm
   Your 24-hour rhythm of life includes programmed times of day and night for hormone release, highest strength, fastest reaction time, clearest cognition, best coordination, and many other functions. Carrying out those functions at the right time of the day yields the best results. Workouts for gain of muscle and strength, for example, are most effective when anabolic hormones are highest, that is 8-9 am in the morning. Skill training is most effective at 2-6 pm when reaction time, coordination, and rhythm are best. 
   
   
3. Little by Little Every Day
   Because your body operates to a circadian rhythm, anything you want to achieve should be done little by little EVERY DAY. All bodily structures are proteins, your brain cells, your muscles, your enzymes, your immune system, 350,000 different proteins.
   
   Millions of individual protein molecules are being made every minute, all from the proteins you eat. If you eat garbage proteins, such as hot dogs, or soy beans or hamburgers, or the animal grotesques now sold as most of our meat, they grow into your structure and you will grow a garbage body with no resistance to aging. For optimum inhibition of aging you have to replenish your proteins every day with first-class protein like Isagenix Isalean Shakes.
   
   You also have to exercise your body – EVERY DAY. Three workouts a week at random times in some stuffy gym does very little. Look at the lack of change in most of the people who do it. Our body rhythm designed us to exercise daily. You don’t need fancy equipment. Make your shower and your bedroom your gym, and do 20-minutes on an Isagenix program EVERY morning. Then walk or run 20 minutes EVERY evening. You don’t need will power to do this. You need ritual. Develop it as a daily habit, like cleaning your teeth. It’s anti-aging guaranteed.
   
4. Concentrated Nutrition
   Fast food equals fast aging. Don’t be a carbohydrate processing plant to line food manufacturers’ pockets. Processed sugars, grains, and fats are not the foods we are designed to eat. Don’t grab a bite. Don’t eat on the street. Don’t yaffle Chihuahua-sized popcorn at the game. See every meal as an opportunity to flood the body with the most concentrated nutrition. 
   
   
5. Guard Your MicrobiomeYour whole body is filled with bugs, over 1,000 different kinds, collectively called the microbiome. A human being is a complete ecosystem of writhing life. Most of the living matter that makes up you and me is not human at all. but trillions and trillions of microorganisms. Their combined weight in your gut alone is more than the weight of your brain. 
   
   The microbiome doesn’t just control digestion. You need it healthy for your immune system to work, without which you would age and die in a heartbeat. Your friendly bugs also regulate many other functions, including ghrelin, the hormone that signals the body to eat. If you kill off these bugs with needless use of antibiotics, or disturb the balance with processed sugars and carbohydrates, ghrelin keeps on pouring out, forcing the body to overeat. Disturb your gut bacteria and food cravings can run rampant. And you know the result of that:

Being overweight is the biggest accelerator of aging in our society.You are aging today. Today is the time to begin to prevent it. Start small with these principles. But act now. Make 2013 the year you grow younger every day.
