Besides the basic tips found in the introduction, there are specific supplements and lifestyle changes
one can make to avoid
age-related diseases. Here are a few of the major
issues Baby Boomers (and others) will want to avoid.
1. Reducing the Risk of Cancer
While heart disease is the leading cause of death over age 70, cancer is the leading cause of death between 40 and 70, the age
group for Boomers. This means taht Boomers are much more likely to
suffer an early death due to cancer than to heart disease. From a
holistic perspective cancer is caused by a toxic environment in the
body, coupled with stress and a weakened immune System. This
is why holistic anti-cancer treatments often focus on detoxification, stress management and strengthening the immune system.
Avoiding chemicals and making sure you have a good diet and
plenty of Antioxidants is one of the primary things you can do to prevent
cancer. With a family history of cancer you can take
additional precautions by doing a periodic cleanse, supporting
the liver's ability to detoxify the body and by strengthening the
immune system.
2. Preventing Heart Disease
All of the basic health tips in the introduction reduce one's risk of heart disease, strokes
and other cardiovascular problems. Those with
a family history of heart disease may wish to
take additional precautions, especially if they
have high blood pressure or are overweight.
Solstic Cardio is a good supplement
to consider here. It contains five grams of
L-arginine. Research suggests that this amount of L-arginine can
help to reduce blood pressure and inhibit plaque formation in
the arteries. Solstic Cardio also contains vitamin D3 and other
nutrients that promote cardiovascular health.
Another supplement for the risk of heart
disease is Co-Q10.
If you have problems with your gums,
you have cardiovascular inflammation and a higher risk for heart
disease.
CoQ 10 is a powerful
antioxidant that helps both
the gums and the arteries
to heal.
It also helps with
recovery from cardiovascular disease. Starins deplete
CoQ 10, so anyone taking statins should consider adding CoQ 10
to their supplement program.
Finally, some people over 60 replace their Super Supplemental
multivitamin with MegaChel.

Other important supplements
to consider for a healthy and cardiovascular system
3. Preventing Diabetes
(more info about diabetes here)
The high blood sugar levels found in diabetics can cause damage to the blood vessels in your kidneys, heart, and other
areas.
Diabetics are more prone to disease.
To avoid diabetes,
adopt a healthy diet lifestyle.
It is especially important to stay
physically active and to avoid all refined carbohydrates and simple sugars.
If you are starting to develop blood sugar problems, try
taking SugarReg. This formula contain herbs
and nutrients that help the body overcome cellular resistance to
insulin.
If you have diabetes, it is a good idea to take supplements
to support the cardiovascular system such as Co-Q10 and High
Potency Garlic.
4. Maintaining Mental Health
Nobody wants to lose their mind, so to stay healthy as
we age we want to reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease, dementia
and Parkinson's disease, all of which diminish quality of life and
productiveness. While the complete cause of these conditions
is unknown, scientific research increasingly points to processed
foods, over-consumption of sugar, simple carbs and unhealthy fats,
environmental toxins and heavy metals as contributing factors.
Good fats and fat-soluble vitamins are very important to the
brain. So, getting the long chain omega-3 fatty acids, DHA and
EPA, is important to keeping a healthy mind. The fats in organic
butter, coconut oil and eggs are also helpful.
Research shows that declining levels of magnesium in the brain
are part of the picture of memory loss. Researchers at MIT found
a highly absorbable form of magnesium, magnesium L-threonate,
which has been shown to cross the blood-brain barrier and increase the brain's magnesium level. It stimulated the growth of new synapses and increased cognitive functions in both the old and the young.
Mind Max contains magnesium L-threonate in a base of three herbs that have been used to increase cognitive function and protect
the brain during aging: gotu kola, bacopa and ginkgo. This
is a great supplement to take for anyone who is concerned about
cognitive decline and memory loss associated with aging.
5. Keeping Your Eye Sight
Many adults lose their vision as they age due to macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma or cataracts. About 1.8
million Americans suffer from age-related macular degeneration
and there are about six million new cases of eye disease every year.
'The sad thing is that most of these eye problems are due to a lack of
good fats (omega-3 essential fatty acids) and antioxidants.
Perfect
Eyes contains nutrients like lutein, n-acetyl-cysteine, quercetin and
hesperidin, which help protect the eyes from free radical damage
and aging. It can be used in addition to supplements like Thai-Go and Super Trio to protect the eyes from aging.
None of us can escape growing older, but with a healthy diet
and lifestyle, we can escape many of the diseases associated with
aging.
