Proactive steps towards exceptional health!

In today's news, it's inevitable that you've seen all the talk about healthcare reform. What's in store for our future healthcare as we age? Being part of the baby boomer generation, I know this question is weighing heavily on the minds of my fellow boomers.

With all this talk about healthcare, what comes to my mind foremost is the need to be proactive in one's own health. It's imperative that we as individuals do all we can to achieve optimal health naturally, without dependence on the "system". Now, I'm not anti-medical establishment, it's just that I prefer not to spend my time being "sick". I spent a considerable time in a doctors office as a child and I knew growing up that was one place I didn't want to waste my time. Life is for living!

So when it comes to nutrition, I want to learn everything I can. Nutrition is no longer just about protein, carbs, and fats! There's exciting and extensive research being done all around the world on nutritional health and healing. Phytochemicals are being well researched and scientists are finding promising results in the role of phytochemicals and cancer. Some of these phytochemicals in the forefront of research are resveratrol, anthycyanin, quercetin, ellagic acid, and catechin.

Resveratrol is found in the skin of red grapes and it belongs in a larger class of photochemicals called phytoalexins. These are used as a defense against infections as they have antibacterial and antifungal properties. Several studies (Athar et al., 2007, Jang et al., 1997, & Sale et al., 225) have shown strong evidence of the anti-cancer action of resveratrol. Particularly in regards to cancers that it can come in direct contact with such as colon, gastrointestinal, and skin cancers.

There are many resveratrol products on the market today and how do you choose the best one? Well, I'll make it simple for you. I use a product thats from a company you can trust ~ the top company recongnized in the U.S. as the #1 natural nutrition company. This product is shown to protect and repair cellular DNA, positively impact genetic regulators, promote mitochondrial biogenesis and slow AGE protein formation. Okay, lots of scientific stuff, but not only is the product the purest available, it's also 10x more powerful than resveratrol alone.
For more information, select this anti-aging tonic. All natural- exclusive - tastes delicious!

Beautiful Skin starts within!

Following a balanced nutritional programs is one of the smartest things you can do to maintain healthy skin. Neglecting your diet by eating too much refined sugar and processed foods really does show up in your face. Deficiencies of certain nutrients such as vitamin A, B-Complex, and healthy fats such as EPA's & DHA's slow the skins ability to repair itself. Your skin is the body's largest organ and your first line of defense, so keeping skin healthy is as important as keeping it soft and radiant.

We are bombarded with environmental stresses daily, from pollution, sunlight, toxic and chemical personal care products and products we use in our home. As we age, the risk of free radicals damaging our cells increases. Fortunately, there are super nutrients, vitamins and minerals as well as phytonutrients and antioxidants that can rescue our skin and limit the oxidative damage.

Here's some benefits you'll see from these nutrients:
Vitamin E provides front line antioxidant defense and creates silky smooth skin. Tones muscles.
Vitamin C supports the body's natural defenses against UV induced collagen breakdown. A deficiency of C or protein can contribute to wrinkles and sagginess!
Vitamin A increases skin's natural moisture retention
Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) boosts your skin's suppleness and elasticity
Grape Seed Extract interrupts enzyme reactions which break down skin-firming collagen
Beta Glucan soothes environmental irritation
Zinc is a helpful with your immune system and acne.
