Secrets for Maintaining Youth

The secrets to complete cutting edge antiaging wrinkle reducer is Anti-aging from the inside out which can help you feel younger and more beautiful.
Aging is a factor of time, energy and substance.
Time cannot be controlled. You can't escape time, sooner or later it ages everyone.
Energy and substance can if you exercise daily, eat right and take supplements.
The body mind is a function of time, energy and space. In our young adult years,the peak of our essence, the fountain of youth was at its height our hair is vibrant, bones are strong, muscles are lean and mean, skin is healthy and glowing, and we have great memory.
In the aging decline years drying tends to occur. The hair falls out and the color fades, skin becomes thinner, the muscles are flabby, and the memory just isn't.

Secrets for maintaining youth
So what can we do about the decline which just isn't a pretty picture?
1. Get more sleep, consume less alcohol and caffeine.
2. Eat a proper diet, generally two meals per day
3. Nutritional Supplements
4. Get plenty of fresh air (oxygen)
5. Sunshine- get outdoors for at least 20+ minutes a day
6. Practice sex/intimacy to preserve that special essence of life

Do you really need Nutritional Supplements?
Nutritional supplements is one way to fill the nutritional gap that may rise from an less than perfect diet.
Many of us don't eat as we should, when we should.
I know I'm guilty of that as well so I know my body is missing out nutritional vitamins and minerals.
Knowing this I do supplement daily. In fact twice a day.
That being said I want to focus on the importance of nutritional supplements and how to determine which are right for you.


Let's look at 13 really great  reasons why you should take supplements

• 1. Supplements aid the body's abilities to ward of disease and sickness. When the body has proper nutritional balance it is better able to fight off infections or illness.
• 2. Supplements can enhance your body's function. It cleans the cells and restores deficiencies.
• They provide healthy foundation for the skin to help reduce wrinkles and thinning skin.
• 3. They help in better healing.
• 4. Provides fuel for the body to enhance regrowth and healing.
• 5. You may not get all you need from your diet especially if you're a vegan.
• 6. For those that can't tolerate any dairy products supplements solve this issue.
• 7. Supplements enhance memory and mental functions
• 8. Pregnant women are advised to supplement to nourish the fetus with supplements that are beneficial to them.
• 9. We can improve our eye sight with anti-oxidants to combat free radicals
• 10. Poor nutrition can lead to devastating consequences.
• 11. Don't treat your body as if it were invincible.
• 12. As we get older certain vitamins are no longer available to us in the required amounts.

Of course one of the important factors some of us consider is price. 

The best multi-vitamin is the one you pay for. Nutritional supplement, wellness products are multi-billion dollar industry. The best are not inexpensive.
We search the stores looking for the miracle supplement to give us good health and well being because we all want to look good and feel energized.
Then how do you know which is more effective than another?
Are your vitamins or nutritional supplements doing what it claims to do?
The FDA does not regulate this industry or the labels so companies can claim whatever they want.
Synthetic vitamins are on the market and may be cheaper but new studies show that they are not as good and can even be dangerous

• Yes, some supplements are more expensive and my argument is a simple one. Is your health not worth the investment?
• What is more expensive taking vitamins that aren't being absorbed and then your body fails you?
• Then health care cost begin to soar to get your health back as a result.
• When it comes to your health you should seek out quality. It's not like buying cheap electronics that you can take back if it fails.
• You only have one body. If it breaks down you will be very let down. Your health is your wealth.
• Treat your body to the best multi-vitamin on the market.
• Your health is priceless.

So you might ask if taking vitamin and mineral supplements really necessary for me?
I know the debate over nutritional supplements is very controversial but the lack of vitamins can be unhealthy.
There are a lot of factors that cause chronic illness, bad air, water and other pollutants which speed up the aging process.
One way to equip yourself with natural defenses against these destructive forces is get daily nutritional supplements.
Our bodies are miracles that are wonderfully made. Our immune system is so complex and so effective it really is a miracle that we can stand a chance against common viruses, diseases and bacteria of all kinds.

You might be thinking now is well I eat lots fruits and vegies and other foods don't I get what I need from my diet?

• The answer to that is flat out "NO". Yes, you do get some but it is an inadequate amount.
• The foods today look the same and have long shelf life, but do not have the nutrition values of decades past unless you are consuming all organic and even those aren't completely free from toxins today either. ·
• Food today is Genetically Modified (GMO), ·
• The soil has been nutritional depleted for decades ( since the 30's) ·
• Soil has been subjected under use of organic fertilizers and over use of nitrogen fertilizers. ·
• Chemical pesticides and herbicides are sprayed to protect against bugs ·
• Life animals are given all sorts of chemicals and hormones Ask yourself the following questions to determine if supplementation is crucial for you to enjoy a healthier lifestyle.

Answering yes to any of the questionsbelow does not necessarily mean that vitamin or mineral supplements are crucial to healthy living.
The situations listed below are merely a guideline to help individuals who already feel as though they are lacking the vitamins and minerals in their diets.
It is important to remember that vitamin supplements are meant to accompany food and are in no way meant as a replacement for a healthy diet.

1. Am I Stressed? If you are constantly stressed-out due to work, relationships, family or any other situation, your adrenal glands may be working overtime.
This can potentially cause fatigue and headaches.

Treatment: Vitamin B Complex, Vitamin E and Vitamin C supplements can help with this problem.

2. Is My Immune System Up to Par? Do you constantly find yourself catching colds and the flu more frequently than others?
You may need to boost your immune system with vitamins and minerals which provide the nutrients needed to fight these viruses.

Treatment: Vitamin C supplement, Zinc and Manganese will do the trick.

3. Do I smoke? I'm sure you're aware that this habit is unhealthy but smoking uses up vitamin C and puts you at higher risk of osteoporosis.

Treatment: Vitamin C supplements and calcium supplements will help reduce your chances of osteoporosis and provide you with the adequate amount of vitamin C.

4. Am I Pregnant? Pregnant and hormonal women often lack in vitamin B-6. If you do not receive enough of this vitamin it can be harmful to you and your baby.

Treatment: Take a vitamin B-6 supplement, but make sure not to take doses of more than 500mg per day without a Doctor's recommendation.

5. Am I on a Diet? If you are on a low-carb, low-fat or any form of diet you are probably not receiving the vitamins necessary for healthy living.
Individuals on diets very rarely eat foods from all the major food groups and if they do, they usually do not eat the required amounts.

          Treatment: Depending on the type of diet and the foods you eat, you may require a multi-vitamin supplement or specific supplements of Vitamin A, B, C, D, E or K.

 Daily vitamin supplementation have been scientifically proven to be healthful.
 How can you know if these that you are consuming are any good anyway?

When you are ready to prove to yourself that your brand is any good or not you can do two simple things.
1. Get a scan. What is a scan? Pharmanex has a Biophotonic Scanner that measure your antioxidant    score. It's non-invasive and reasonably priced.
There's more information on how that works on my website. www.StopAgingNowNaturally.com
2. I encourage you to get on a daily nutritional supplement program if you don't get them from me at least make sure that they are from natural whole foods.

Do's and Don't's for Aging Skin Care

Everyone wants to look young and  have healthy looking skin for obvious reasons. We just don't want to look worn out just yet.
Wrinkles,spots and dullness of skin are the natural consequences of aging that are reflected on the face.
Anti-aging products provide the ultimate natural solution in skin care preventing the undesirable effects of aging.

With ant-aging serums and other highly touted treatments it's hard not to notice.
Fortunately ,there are some anti-aging skin care secrets that can give you a more youthful appearance without the expense and pain of surgery or toxic injections.

You don't have to wait until you notice your first wrinkle to start thinking about anti-aging skin care.
Rather an anti -aging regimen is better started in the late 20's so that visible signs of aging can be delayed at that point itself.
You do not have to lose hope,due to the fact that the correct ant-aging skincare treatment for  you is what you need to find that youthful,elegant and healthy skin.

Be committed to your routine with your anti-aging skin products

1. Begin a skin care routine first by making a  commitment to yourself to it.
2. Ensure you set enough time each day to follow your routine.
3. Do not skip day and treatments or the products will not work to their best potential.
4. Anti-aging products are made with special ingredients to fight premature aging and its effects on your skin.

Within  the first few weeks, you will notice a difference.
The more you remain committed to your routine you will reap the rewards of beautiful skin
A good anti-aging routine need not be complex.
Simple measure followed systematically will give you the longed for young skin naturally.
The right understanding sets apart a world class anti-aging treatment from the mediocre and useless ones.
Before we look at a couple basic tips we need to understand the natural substance for a young looking skin.

Two Crucial Proteins
When we were young Collagen and Elastin were created in a good quantity by our body.
These two proteins are responsible for giving you a firm, supple and elastic skin.
Simply put they are the youth giving proteins.
But as we grow older,their natural output slows down and we suffer from symptoms of untimely aging of the skin like wrinkles,saggy skin ,old age spots and dark irregular skin complexion.
The inevitable effects of the sun ,environmental conditions and lifestyle also take their toll on the skin
So one of the secrets is to employ such ingredients that support this natural yield of these vital skin proteins  again.

Basic and Significant Tips

But let us review a couple of basic and significant tips for conserving and preserving a young looking skin

The sun

Exposure to sun for a limited time is advantages for skin health. 
It provides us vitamin D. 
Over exposure to the sun rays is very harmful.
UV rays affect the construction Hyaluronanby our skin cells.(Production of the 2 proteins)
Excessive use of sunscreen applications should be avoided as much as possible.
Most of them contain harmful chemical substance and preservatives that do long-term harm to skin health.

Water
You've heard many times  before but you need to drink 8-10 glasses of water daily for good skin hydration.
Our bodies are made up of 70% of water and we lose much of it through breathing, any form of activity, caffeine and  sweating.

Diet
Your diet plays an extreme pivotal role in your skin health and youthfulness. As they say . You are what you eat. 
You should take on a diet abundant in proteins,mineral and antioxidants.
Fruits and vegetables provide the antioxidants that fight the destruction of healthy cells by the free radicals.
Nutritional supplements need to a big part of the daily intake.

Fragrances 
Fragrances are applied into ant-aging products so that they smell pleasant.
But the cost that we bear in terms of our skin health is too expensive.
Very counterproductive chemicals are applied to make these 4000+fragrances.
These are either carcinogens or toxic substances.
These counterproductive chemicals find their way to our blood stream and skin tissues.
So our skin literally consumes these substances that are known to stimulate a variety of disorders.

Good Anti-aging skin care products
Skin care products ought to have at least three basic vitamins among it's ingredients
These are all vital for a healthy, smooth, and young looking skin.

1. Vitamin A- Ensures that your skin has the right toning.
2. Vitamin C-produces collagen that go a long way the skin to properly regenerate when necessary
3. Vitamin E-Protects your skin against the detrimental effect of Ultra-Violet rays often quickening aging

Your Ant-Aging Skin Care  your regimen to be really effective there are some things you should do  and some things you should refrain from.

Do's

Beside the three basic ingredients also use products that contain AHAs & BHAs
AHA's (Alpha-Hydroxy Acids and Bhas(retinols) are very powerful ingredients to combat the appearance of aging and improve skin texture.
AHAs scrape off the dead skin cells and reduce wrinkles and fine lines on the skin.

Exfoliate at least Once a week
People with sensitive skin should use scrubs found in microdermabrasives
Oily skin or combination should use chemical exfoliators like glyocolic acid or salicylic acid.

Eye Creams

Use eye cream religiously daily . The eyes are the first place to show signs of aging.
The skin around the eye is very delicate, fragile, and sensitive and so it starts to show signs of deterioration  earliest.

Antioxidants
Antioxidants are the most powerful weapons to fight the the signs of aging and improve the overall skin quality.
Make sure your products contain antioxidants


Dont's

Rub hard o the skin
Don't stress the skin by pulling on it. Just pat the skin dry when wet and gently 

Forget to Moisturize
Even oily skin needs moisturizing.

Ignore Decollete
Your neck  and chest also have thinner and more delicate skin as compared to the rest of the body.
It's no use having a flawless face if your neck shows your age.

Remember thought that anti-aging  starts from the inside out first.
That discussion is for another day.

The "Non Surgical Face Lift."

The "Non Surgical Face Lift."

With Microcurrent Facial Spa you can look 5-10 years younger without needles ,surgery or recovery time.

Imagine having skin that looks and feels plumped and taut without ever going near a needle or suffering the after affects that artificially injected collagen, fillers and toxins can cause with no downtime.

Facial Spa

The Non Surgical Face  Lift spa is a complete treatment that aids in reducing the signs of aging while improving the overall health of the with specialized Microcurrent facial technology.
The skin is rehydrated facial circulation in improved and a revitalized appearance is achieved after the first application.

Galvanic Spa

The original designed and named the Galvanic Spa which was  released in 2007 proved to be the most likely the most demonstrable home facial product in the entire industry.

Because people could SEE the difference on their face in just minutes.

Now the new 2014 Facial Spa edition was cleared by the FDA as a Micro current home facial spa treatment. .

What is a Microcurrent?

Micro current is a gentle, safe, electric current which is painless, non surgical,non-invasive procedure that helps tone, firm and lift sagging muscles back to their original position and shape.
This current acts a lot like our own nerve impulse to naturally stimulate tighten and tone facial muscles.
This action re-sculpts facial contours and lifts the eyes, cheeks and jawline.It is truely a non surgical face lift.

The Micro current is a low level electrical current that works in harmony with the body, greatly increasing the natural levels of ATP(cellular energy) and increasing production of collagen, elastin and blood circulation.
This stimulates the underlying tissues, retains the facial muscles and allows for the infusion of deep penetration of products for hydration and healing.

16 Contributing Factors to Wrinkling and Sagging skin.

In our face the muscles are the only place where the skin is attached to the muscle.
There is a gradual deterioration of muscle tone and a loss of resiliency in the connective tissue between the facial muscles and the skin which sagging skin.

Other factors that contribute to our skin looking as youthful as we like are ·

• Pollution that is all around us ·
• The sun damage from not wearing sunscreen ·
• Weather- such as the wind, the cold,the dry air ·
• Smoking -back in the day ·
• Drinking too much
• Lack of sleep
• Stress from all reasons ·
• Genetics ·
• Toxins that are in the water and food we consume ·
• Too much air plane traveling ·
• Lack of water in our bodies ·
• Not taking care of our skin when we young ·
• Washing with soap and hot water ·
• Sleeping positions- side sleeping is the worst
• Doing Facial Exercises ·
• Squinting

Our aging appearance isn't just about sagging skin, it's uneven skin tone, enlarged pores, dry skin, blotchy skin.
As we age the facial muscles atrophy just like they do on the rest of the body and  that is what gives us that older looking appearance.
So just putting certain topicals or injecting neurtoxins doesn't always fix the problem.

Dr. Perricone

In fact ,dermatologist Dr Nicholas Periccone steers his patients away from the neurotoxins believing micro current plus the right diet and the right topicals to be the best anti-wrinkle strategy.
He argues that using electric micro current facials done at home or at a spa build "convexits" in the face.
Convexites are what makes you youthful.
He states that over time it takes micro current to retain fullness in the face.

Who uses the Facial Spa?

People all over the world are discovering a better way to achieve beautiful looking skin with a more natural look, and without the unnatural appearance that is often the result of painful cosmetic surgery.
Celebs worldwide request the  non surgical facial lift with the microcurrent technology before premiers and red carpet events.

Why These are the best 8 Real Anti-Aging Secrets

Keeping you feeling and being youthful

 You don't need to go under the knife or have needles stuck in your face to remain youthful.
These are 8 Real ant-Aging secrets that will keep you feeling and being youthful

"Aging isn't a decline in our systems. It's actually very purposeful.

The very systems and biological processes that age us are designed to help us when we're a little bit younger.
So what's our role as part of the aging population?
To learn how those systems work so we can reprogram them to work the way they did when we were younger.
Your goal should be: die young at any age.
That means you live a high quality of life (with everything from working joints to working genitals) until the day you die"
according to Dr. Roizen and Dr. Oz from their book - You: Staying Young: The Owner's Manual for Extending Your Warranty
May I suggest that  you read their book for a deeper understanding how your aging process works.

However. there are certainly some skin care treatments that you do daily to keep that skin of yours looking healthy and you are eating a healthy diet and taking nutritional supplements.
Those we'll address lastly. More importantly is the anti-aging secrets that keep you feeling and being young.






You Want to live longer, Right?

The body is such an amazing machine and most of us do want to live longer or at least as long as possible, as long as we have our health and vitality.
We have seen our parent and grandparents age and most of us baby boomers and the X Geners want to dance into our sunset years with vim and vigor.


What is your purpose in life now?

In a study of older adults, those who lived a goal-driven life were 57 percent less likely to die during the 5-year study period
 compared with those who didn’t have much direction or purpose.Is there something that you’re actively want to achieve?
Don't give up on those dreams.

How a Purpose Protects

Having a purpose in life is so helpful that in a recent study that it even appeared to improve the longevity of people
with depression, disabilities, chronic medical conditions, or financial difficulties.


Does your life have meaning?

That goal or purpose might easily be a volunteer position in what you love to do and those possibilities are endless.
Working with young people gives your life meaning and it keeps you young and in touch.


Are you making plans for the future?

You're still working and busy raising a family whose got time for much else.
Whose has time to dream? Dream you must.
Life without a dream is a road going nowhere.
Jim Rohn is quoted as saying 'Happiness is not an accident. Nor is it something you wish for. Happiness is something you design."
Designing anything starts with a dream.


De-Stress with productive physical activities
You've heard it a thousand times before get moving.
Besides getting your body in shape physically it also improves you emotionally. When you feel happy or relaxed your whole body reflects that emotion.
Just as stress accelerates aging in oh so many ways.
De-stressing with physical activity is the most effective way to relax and alter your minds and body's destructive reactions.
It keeps our entire system in radiant health.
Just like volunteering participate in a group activity that you always wanted to try such as yoga, Pilates, Zumba, dance, spin, whatever.
Personally, for me I love my spin class and there are a few of us that belong to active adult group.
We work hard, sweat ,smile and laugh when we're done. Just do it and have some fun.

Laughing is a large part of anti-aging.

You've heard it said that "Laughter is the best medicine and it's infectious, far more contagious than any dis-ease.
It triggers healthy physical changes in the body strengthens the immune system, boost your energy, diminishes pain and protects us from the damaging effects of stress ,
which we already know as an aging factor. Nothing works better and faster to bring your mind and body back into balance.


Learn something new.

I know you're thinking "I don't like learning" check yourself where is that coming from.
True learning something new at times may feel a bit uncomfortable and quite challenging but that is just the point.
It keeps you young. The brain, although, an organ acts like a muscle.
Remember! Use or lose it!
When was the last time you were in class to learn something new like learning a new language?
Did you know that learning a new language even if you fail helps to protect the brain from Alzheimer's?
The exercise of learning stimulates the brain and helps keep your mind sharp


Nutrition

Nutrition is a whole book onto its self.
We know we must consume a well-balanced diet from all the food groups.
But, unless you well read about the difference of organic foods and GM O foods you may not be getting all the nutrition that your body needs.
You may need to supplement your diet with a quality product.

Well how do you know which ones to are better than others.
The label all say the same thing and the words they use purposely is to confuse you.
That's where I can help you. I have a scientifically proven device that will scan your levels of anti-oxidants.
The greater the value the more chances you have to fight the bad guys (the Free Radicals) that roam around your cells looking to attack the healthy ones every chance they get.



Skin Care Problems With all the confusion with so many products how can anyone know with confidence that any of these products actually are as effective as they claim.
What guarantee do they give?
Most don't! The skin care line I represent not only works and it has a proven 30 yr. track record and it guarantees its effectiveness to eliminate your troublesome areas.
Be it dry skin, oily skin. wrinkly skin, acne issues, pregnancy masks.

Whose's the Forgotten Giant?

 Lecithin the Forgotten Giant in Our Diet

Remember Myrtle the other we were talking about the forgotten giant in our diet and I promised you that I would tell you more.
Ya, Gladys I remember, so what's the big deal?

Myrtle, the problem today is many people do not understand which foods are good for them and why.

So for the next couple of weeks I'm going to share some basic vitamin and mineral information so folks like you and me can understand why these are necessary components in our diets and to make sure they are included in our diets.

 Lecithin.

 First of all, Lecithin derives its name from the Greek word for egg yolk,

Lecithin, the giant, works so hard and performs so many duties that he goes by many names.

He is practically an institution onto himself.
With his automatic valve control he performs the function of a janitor, garbage collector and incinerator, a chambermaid, a cook, and a sanitary engineer.

The job description for the giant, Lecithin,

He aids in the transportation of fats.
He is the structural rebuilder for every cell in the body, especially the brain and the nerves
As a maintenance person he breaks neutral fats and cholesterol into microscopic particles held in suspension so that these particles can pass through the arterial walls to the different tissues of the body.
As a garbage collector and incinerator he cleans the cells inside and after performing this duty destroys himself.

So Gladys, yes Myrtle, what is he exactly anyway?

Myrtle, Lecithin is a mixture of phospholipids found in every living cell.

Simply said that is 2 fatty acids or lipids working together. Produced in the liver and is one of the B-complex vitamins.

To summarize his functions for you, Myrtle,
he is nature's turnkey imprisoning some substances and releasing others as easily a jailor locks up the offenders of the law or frees them
but, always maintaining equilibrium of hormones, fatty acids fats, enzymes, etc.

What is really important is that a healthy cell where the many of these giants live the cell is youthful and healthy.

In fact he is used in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and high cholesterol levels and liver disorders.

A cell that has no giants living in it those cells are drawn, weary and sickly.

Well, Gladys, like you said he really works for us to keep us youthful and healthy but now tell me where do I find this giant?

Myrtle, you can get it in foods and supplements.

These are some of the foods that are high in Lecithin

• Eggs or animal-derived foods are the best source and you should strive for 425-550 mg. per day.
• Dairy products such as milk, yogurt cheese and these have lots of calcium but that's a story for another day.
• Seafood such Atlantic Cod has 73 mg.
• Green leafy veggies contain around 60 mg and a good source for fiber too.
• Legumes are very rich in lecithin. 1 cup of cooked beans such as kidney or lack provides about 70 -80 mgs.
• Even peanut butter has 20 mgs. Soy beans and sunflower seeds are great sources for this wonderful giant.
• But you can also buy lecithin in supplement forms as well. You even get it to mix in your healthy shakes.

8 Other Benefits

• Healthy Skin and Hair
• Eliminates yellow-brown plaque which shows up on the skin and around the eyes and is caused by fatty deposits.
• Improves memory, learning and reaction time,
• Reproduction and child development
• Helps lower blood pressure
• Relief of arthritis Liver and cell function
• Decreased cholesterol levels and gallstone problems

So there you have it Myrtle. This will certainly help us stay youthful and healthy

Keeping Your Kids Healthy During Cold and Flu Season

It's that time of Year Again! 

Labor Day has come and gone, the kids are back in school, and that lovely liquid sunshine, which folks in other parts of the country call “rain,” has come back to grace us. Yes, fall is here, which means settling back into the comfortable routine of days marked by the ringing of school bells. It also means cold and flu season lurking just around the corner.

Every parent dreads their child getting sick, even if it’s “just” a cold. At best, you have a child not feeling well, not eating or sleeping well—a child missing school and parents missing work. At worst, a cold occasionally develops into something more, requiring a visit to the doctor and medical attention. What’s an overworked, sleep-deprived parent to do? Well, here are some facts and practical tips to help keep your family healthy this cold and flu season.

First, a little primer. Colds and flu are caused by viruses, not bacteria. Viruses are one type of germ that infects cells and makes us ill. Here are some common illnesses from viruses:

• Head cold. Many colds are caused by rhinoviruses. Rhino means nose in Greek, so these are viruses that infect the nose. We get runny and stuffy noses when we have colds because that is where the virus is setting up shop.
• Stomach flu. Rhinoviruses are actually one of a group of viruses called enteroviruses. Entero means intestine in Greek. These viruses infect our gastrointestinal tract, causing sore throat, nausea, vomiting or diarrhea—an illness some people call the stomach flu.
• Influenza. A stomach “bug” is different from the actual flu, which is caused by the influenza virus. Influenza comes from the Italian word for influence of the stars. In medieval Europe, people thought outbreaks of colds and flu were caused by the movement of the stars.

Ok enough of the etymology lesson, and back to the topic at hand!

Today, of course, we know that colds and flu are caused by viruses, not the movement of stars. In fact, hundreds of different viruses can cause cold and flu-like symptoms, making us feel lousy. Some of the discomfort we feel is the direct effect of the virus on our cells; some is the effect of our bodies’ immune systems fighting off the virus. Unlike bacterial infections, which can be treated with antibiotics, there are no medicines we can take to kill the viruses that cause colds and flu. We have to rely on our immune systems to do that job for us. What we can do is protect ourselves from getting infected in the first place. If we do get sick, we can treat the symptoms and help our immune systems do their job.

Avoiding Infection

So, how do you protect yourself and your kids? Hand washing, hand washing, hand washing! Cold and flu viruses are not airborne. You can’t catch a cold just by being in the same room as someone who’s sick. You generally have to come into direct contact with their oral or nasal secretions. So, if someone with a cold sneezes into their hand and then pushes open a door with their virus-covered hand, and minutes later your child pushes open the same door and then eats a sandwich—she just ate a virus sandwich.

Good hand washing is the key to helping reduce the spread of cold and flu viruses. Teach your children to wash their hands frequently with soap and water—and always before eating, after using the restroom and after being in a public place. Regular soap is fine; antibacterial soap isn’t necessary because colds are caused by viruses not bacteria. Hand sanitizer works too, although soap and water is better, if available. Children can also help stop the spread of viruses by coughing or sneezing into a tissue or into the crook of their elbow instead of into a bare hand. When someone in the family is sick, avoid kisses (hugs are okay) and avoid sharing food, drinks, utensils, washcloths, toys, etc.

Helping Our Immune System

What else can you do to help prevent infection? Immunizations are important. . Make sure you and your children are up-to-date on all your routine immunizations (particularly DTaP and Tdap—the ‘p’ is for pertussis).

 Keep your family in tip-top shape this cold and flu season, make sure everyone is giving their bodies the resources they need to fuel their immune systems. What this means is to start  supporting theirs  and your immune system with the right supplements and good food and good sleep.
The right supplements that will support your and theirs immune systems are 

AiE/10's primary function is to boost and support immune cell communication.

Reishi Max supports healthy immunine system function. Strengthens the immune defense system.

                                                 

Immune Formula contains a proprietary blend of ingredients to support the body's natural immune function.

Good food translates into some protein, some carbs, not too much fat or sugar, and plenty of fruits and vegetables. Protein is needed to rebuild cells in our bodies; carbs are our major energy source. Fruits and vegetables are key because that’s where we get many essential vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. These naturally occurring chemicals help with many important functions in our bodies, including keeping our immune systems strong. Try to aim for at least five servings of fruits and/or vegetables a day. A multivitamin as supplement is okay, but shouldn’t be seen as a replacement. Avoid megadoses of any vitamin.

As for sleep - although in some ways still a mystery to researchers - we do know that good sleep is important for immune function. Studies have shown that sleep deprivation leads to an impairment in immunity, including fewer white blood cells (our bodies’ main cellular defense against infection) as well as fewer antibodies (one of the weapons our white cells use to fight germs). Although every child is unique, in general toddlers/preschoolers need about 11-13 hours of sleep a night, young school-age kids 10-11 hours, “tweens” 9-10 hours and teens 8-9 hours.

Treating a Cold or Flu

So, you wash  your hands , have gotten everyone their shots, taken their supplements ,have everyone eating their broccoli and in bed on time—and still someone in the family gets a cold. Despite our best efforts, we all will catch a virus at some point, kids more often than adults. While adults typically get 2–4 colds a year, kids average 6–8. Although you can’t take an antibiotic to make the cold go away, you can help manage symptoms and support the immune system in doing its job.

Headache, body aches and fever in older infants and children can be treated at home with acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil). Be sure to check on the proper dosing and how often the medicine can be given. Fever is a sign that the immune system is working hard. Although not necessarily dangerous, a fever can be uncomfortable for a child. If a fever greater than 100 degrees lasts longer than 2-3 days, however, it should be checked out by your doctor. And for ANY fever in a baby 2 months or less, you should always see your doctor.

Avoid combination cold medicines for kids that might contain two, three or even four different medicines in addition to acetaminophen/ibuprofen. Most of the extra medicines have unwanted side effects and aren’t very effective in children anyway. In a randomized controlled trial, cough medicine was no more effective than honey in treating coughs in children, but had significantly more side effects. (Note that you should never give honey to kids younger than 1 year.) Other symptomatic relief can be found with nasal saline drops for infants and nasal spray or saline rinse for older children.

Other than that, stick with the tried-and-true advice we all received growing up: rest and drink plenty of fluids. When your child is sick, his energy reserves are all going to his immune system to battle that nasty virus. He’s going to be tired and should rest so that his body can preferentially spend what energy it has on healing. He may not feel like eating much with his body’s priorities so shifted; it’s okay to eat a little less for a day or two; just make sure he’s drinking enough to stay well-hydrated.

Keep your child home from school until the fever has subsided and he’s feeling better. A mild cough and/or sniffles may persist for several days. It’s okay to go back to school as long as he’s generally feeling back to his usual self. And, of course, he should still practice good germ-control techniques, just in case there are still a few transmissible viruses lingering in his oral or nasal secretions.

So that’s it: wash hands, get your shots, make good food and sleep a priority, and if someone does get sick, stay home to rest and get better. With these practices, hopefully we can all stay as healthy as possible this cold and flu season.

How Healthy do You Think You Really Are?

 Do You think Your Healthy?

For your sake I hope you're healthy. ?

You're doing all the right things, eating your fruits and veggies like your mom taught you, exercising at least 3 days a week and taking the dog for a nice walk, and if you read my blog from last week you improved your sleeping habits and you're taking vitamins supplements with anti-oxidants.
 My question than is how do you really know if those are worth the money you're spending?
The answer for most people is that they don't unless you want spend at least $500 on getting that blood test done. I don't think so. Right? So you just believe the words on the bottle, your doctor can't even prove the efficacy of the nutrients he provides can he?
If you followed my posts on Facebook you might have an idea of where I'm going with this.
I'm sure you really haven't but that's Ok.. I'll catch up you up on this topic in just a second.
First, I want you to watch this video with Dr. OZ . He has such a great way of demonstrating what I'm about to discuss with you.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRBc8DxMYy8

Just in case that's not what you want do I can understand that too. I'm that way too at times.
I just want to educate you  on the importance of getting your antioxidant score measured and why.
Basically, we all want to look young and we'll go the ends of the world to achieve that end.
We'll smear all kinds of creams on our face even when we don't know what's in product or if the product is any good.

 Some will go under the knife several times in fact.with various results and I've seen some hideous ones. while others will have needles stuck in their face like a pin cushion but how many are addressing  the fact we age from the inside out not the other way around.
The outside is only a reflection of what's going on in the cellular level.
 So since that's true why do we spend all the money worrying about the outside first?
 Hmm. Makes me curious.
 Is it  the natural way for us to always have a quick fix in hopes that it will solve our problem of aging?

Don't let your Guard Down

I believe that aging well is from the inside out first.
Now you know where I stand..

Of course you know that your body is under constant attack from sunlight, that toxins bombard us from all directions from the air you breath, the water we drink,and the food we drink and stress all contain free radicals whose primary job is to kill your healthy cells weakening our immune system  and destroying your skin's protective barrier making you look older.
 
So in addition to looking your best you should commit to enhancing  the way you approach anti-aging from the inside with nutritional supplements that nourish and protect your body against the ravages of time.

How Do I know My Supplements Are Working?

This  first step is to get your base line score of your antioxidant level but how is that done?

 The answer is the Pharmanex BioPhototonic Scanner. Pharmanex is the only nutritional supplement company that can provide you with a noninvasive,fast and convenient way to determine your antioxidant status- and whether your supplements are actually protecting you.
The BioPhotonic scanner is science based and credible and by simply placing your hand in front of the scanner you will obtain a reading of the carotenoid antioxidant levels in your skin.
Once you have your score, work to increase it and maintain it with a diet rich in fruits,vegetables and vitamin supplements.
Pharmanex Products also deliver key nutrients that specifically support your skin and health.
These include vitamins C & E, CoQ10,alpha-lipoic acid,omega-3 fatty acids ,green tea, lutein, and a host of other antioxidants that keep your skin looking young and healthy from the inside out.

My favorite is the LifePak Nano.

Because of the nanotechnology in LifePak Nano you get the most of nutritional benefit from every capsule. Many important nutrients tend to cling together in the digestive tract making them difficult to absorb.Through a process called nanoencapsulation, individual molecules of nutrients are embedded into a single nanocapsule molecule which makes it more available for easy absorption.
LifePak Nano provides key nutritional benefits that are substantiated by science and proven effective by the Pharmanex BioPhotonic Scanner.

If your goal is to commit to ant-aging from the inside out and providing the best for your body then we need to talk and set up a time to get a scan.. The cost is so affordable that why this has been such a well kept secret.
$25.00 won't break the bank considering your other lab test cost soooo much more and you get immediate results.

 Contact me for details on how you can get scanned and what measures you need to do to increase your protection.
