Breakthrough In Antiaging Therapies Impede Aging Process And Increase Longevity

Antiaging foods are loaded with the minerals and vitamins you require to maintain health. If you have a poor diet and are subjected to excessive pollutants this enables unstable molecules call free radicals to intensify and damage tissues and organs.

Want to live longer, feel better and at the same time prevent the onset of life threatening diseases and ailments? Just increase your consumption of powerful antioxidant foods called plant phytonutrients. These foods defend against the excess buildup of free radicals in your cells, repair and replace the cells, and powerfully enhance immune system resistance.

Age impeding organic pigments color foods like cartenoids yellow/orange/red fruits and are vegetables like carrots, tomatoes and kale: tan vegetables like grains nuts and beans containing cholesterol lowering phytosterols, and white foods coloring egg protein and omega-3 fatty acids.

All of your body's functions can be improved with the intake of these kinds of foods. They furnish the body with greater endurance, vitality, longer lifespan, improved quality of sleep, energy, calmness and well being. They also boost blood vessel formation and assist in the restoration of damaged tissues and organs

Free radicals are molecules that hasten aging, cause disease and damages organs and cells when biological systems are deteriorated by oxidation. Oxidation is a the chemical reaction that produces the radicals that speed aging. The molecules that inhibits oxidation are called antioxidants. They prevent damage to cells, DNA and disease.

Nutrients that cannot be produced by the body are called essential nutrients. They are antioxidants that cause a chemical reaction in the human body that inhibits the oxidation of biological systems, cells and organs. They range vitamin C which stimulates cellular growth to magnesium for nerve and muscular tissue health, to vitamin E, which prevents free radical formation when fat undergoes oxidation. They play a crucial activity in human health by impeding the aging process and preventing disease.

Antioxidants, such as vitamins A, E, C and bioflavonoids, (a yellow compound found in citrus fruit), help decrease visible signs of aging like wrinkles, poor skin, sagging skin and skin discoloration. As well reducing hypertension and increased relaxation of muscles in the cardiovascular system, and to combat other diseases like osteoporosis and atherosclerosis.

There is proven scientific research that shows that a substance called resveratrol has been successful in slowing aging. It has also been effective against obesity, diabetes and high blood pressure. Resveratrol, an antioxidant, is a member of a class of plant chemical compounds called polyphenols. It is a component of red wine, knotweed, blueberries and other plants.

The polyphenol resveratrol, helps in reducing inflammation, helps prevent the oxidation of low density lipoprotein (LDL) "bad" cholesterol and makes it more difficult for platelets to stick together and form the blood clots that can result in a heart attack . It's believed to limit the spread of cancer cells and trigger the process of cancer cell death.

Insulin resistance, an antecedent to diabetes, is a condition where the body becomes less resistant to the hormone. Resveratrol is key in the process that inhibits this disorder.

The polyphenol activates essential metabolic pathways. For example, it activates a sensor named AMPK which manages cell homeostasis, and a gene involved in lifespan extension called sirituin 1, or SIRT 1. Resveratrol also amplifies glucose metabolism, insulin regulation and cell survival

Resveratrol assists in decreasing prostrate gland tumorigenesis, or the process where cells become cancerous. It does this by reducing prostrate levels of mTORC1, an enzyme associated with tumors. It also inhibits the enzymes CYP1A1, CYP1A2 and CYP1B1 in tumor cells, and reduces oxidative stress.
