Anti Aging is a relatively new medical specialty and it is now one of the fastest growing areas of medicine.
Why?
Because our population is aging and this aging population wants to maintain their youthfulness, energy and health as their years advance.
Who doesn’t! Isn’t it everyone’s desire to stay young and healthy, full of energy and vitality, with a great slim fat free body, with loads of sexual energy and a sharp clear mind at any age?
Of course it is!
As a medical doctor who specializes in Anti Aging Medicine I can now firmly say that
Yes, Anti Aging Is Most Certainly A Reality!
So what exactly then is Anti Aging Medicine, and why should you consider it? Well for a start let me tell you what Anti Aging is not.
It is not a magic pill, a miracle cream, botox or the latest aesthetic procedure! Sure all these may help reduce the signs of aging externally, but they will not halt or reverse the aging process.
After all, what good is botox or a face cream etc, going to be for you if your coronary arteries are slowly but surely clogging up with cholesterol plaques which will sooner than later cause a heart attack and either kill you or leave you with heart failure, which is not much better?
Or if you have elevated blood sugar (due to poor dietary habits) which will slowly age your inside organs and block your arteries without you knowing it until you just burn out and you end up with kidney failure, heart failure or an amputated leg etc.
Real Anti Aging is about extending the human lifespan and also about adding youthfulness and health to those extended years. It involves a combination of medical technologies and therapies used for the early detection, prevention, treatment and reversal of age-related disability and disease.
Live up to 120 Years or Longer!
The current average lifespan is less than 80 yrs (depending on which country you live in), however there are some people in this world that do live up to 120yrs! Take the Japanese Okinawans and even the Hunza’s of Pakistan for example. There are numerous people within these communities that do live up to 120 yrs with very good health and no disease!
How Can You Start Your Own Anti Aging Program
One of the first things you must consider if you do want to live a long and healthy life is to look at the major causes of premature aging, disease and disability, and death. If you can avoid these problems and take action to prevent them, then you are half way towards extending your lifespan and enjoying many, many years of health and happiness.
So then what are the major causes of death that you need to avoid in order to extend your lifespan and to live a long healthy life? Well, the top 10 most common causes of disability, disease and death are:
1) Heart Disease
2) Cancer
3) Stroke
4) Diabetes
5) Chronic Lung Disease
6) Accidents
7) Alzheimer’s Disease
8) Pneumonia and Influenza
9) Kidney Disease
10) Septicemia (blood poisoning due to infection)
So with this list in mind, one of the first approaches to any serious Anti Aging program is to focus on the causes of these major contributors to disability and death. Why do they happen? What can you do to prevent or reverse them?
This, I believe, is the most powerful way to extend your life span and to maintain great health and vitality for many years. In future articles I will focus more closely on these major causes and outline ways for you to prevent them and also on ways to treat them if you already have them. Follow this advise and you will no doubt extend your healthy years considerably. Also, I believe many of us get old because our bodies become full of toxic chemicals and poisons which slowly accumulate in our systems.
These toxins and chemicals can come both from our environment and from the food and water we drink (which are generally now contaminated- even if you buy organic!) or they can be created from within our own bodies. Recent studies have shown that man made toxins and chemicals like heavy metals (lead, mercury, cadmium, aluminium), PCB’s, pesticides, and fluorinated chemicals, accumulate in your body over time(mainly in fatty tissues, ligaments, and bone) as our elimination systems cannot effectively remove them. They then are slowly released from these tissues over time and find their way into every organ or system of your body causing premature aging and disease.
Also our own bodies every day produce toxic waste products and acids, which are normally excreted in our urine or through our sweat after first being dissolved in our blood. However, due to our lifestyles and environments (poor diet and too much processed food, overwork, over indulgence, not enough rest, staying up late, not enough exercise, inadequate water consumption, smoking, pollution, etc.) the body cannot get rid of all the acidic waste products that it generates. These toxic wastes then accumulate within our bodies leading to disease and disability.
So the combination of external toxins and chemicals and our own toxic waste products I am certain are a major contributor to disability, disease and early death. In fact it has been found in numerous studies that cancer can only grow in an acidic or low oxygen environment, and that the build-up of these acidic toxins in our bodies may predispose us to developing this very common cause of disability, aging and premature death. So therefore a critical part of Anti Aging involves completely detoxifying your body from these external and internal toxins. For perfect health and for a long and youthful life, I believe that whole body detoxification is one of the most important things that you must be doing on a regular basis.
You can take all the supplements you like, eat all the best organic food you can find, exercise every day and night, but if you don’t remove all these external and internal toxins and chemicals from your body you will most certainly develop one the disease in the above list. A whole body and organ detox program, is a medical program aimed specifically at removing all chemicals and toxins from your blood, lymphatic system, bowels, tissues(fats, ligaments and bones), and all of your organs including your liver, kidneys, brain, heart, lungs etc.
I will talk about ways to completely detoxify your whole body and all your organs and tissues in future articles, so stay tuned.
