THE ANTI-AGING, ANTIOXIDANT COCKTAIL

We all Age Someday



There comes a time in everyone's life when we look into the mirror one morning and notice we are starting to age.

It's one thing to finally be treated like an adult but quite another to see lines on your face, sagging skin under your chin or graying hair. You don't need that to vote or to watch the game at a sports bar.

No, this is quite different and it doesn't do much for your self esteem.

Some of us age faster than others and that makes it even more unfair.

Why is it that some people can hold on to youth longer than others? Well, you know some of the reasons, lifestyle, diet, exercise and heredity among others.


Genetics


Some people's genetic make-up just seems to fight age better than other people's. What is their body doing that allows this to happen?

One thing that is happening is that their cellular structure is out performing other people?s. Their cells are healthier and stronger whereas others, have less healthy cells. It's kind of a breakdown in the cellular structure.


Cellular Breakdown


Cellular breakdown causes aging, bad unhealthy cells are 'corrupting' other, healthier cells and breaking them down as well, thereby, causing somewhat of a chain reaction. Little by little the aging process begins. What's really happening here?


The Reality of It


As we age our cells are not reproducing in as healthy a manner as they did during youthful years. They are lacking nutrition, yes but also your body doesn't regenerate at the same rate as it did when you were younger.

It would be a very complex answer to explain why this happens and way beyond the scope of this article but in simple terms things like the endocrine system of our body which, controls the hormones that regulate many body processes, gets less efficient as we age. Our bodies simply produce lower levels of hormones.


The Elements


Add to this the many pollutants we put into our bodies over the years and we are burning the youth candle at both ends.

We aren't regenerating cells as efficiently and we aren't doing a lot to alleviate that problem.

We need to put up a defense to compensate for youth.


Defense


Cells have a natural metabolic process and expel a by-product. This by-product is a toxin and must be flushed from our bodies. Drinking plenty of water helps this process immensely.

Many sources recommend 8 glasses (64 ounces) of water a day. We have all heard of the importance of fiber in our diet. This also cleanses our system as do garlic supplements.


Cleansing


Cleansing your body will help with limiting toxic build-up. A toxic system will break down cells and this leads to faster aging.

It also leads to an acidic PH in your body which not only breaks down cells but also lowers your immunity which makes becoming sick, much more easy.


The Other Side of the Spectrum


On the other side of the spectrum is the regeneration of cells. If you regenerate bad cells they will harm other cells just as a bad apple starts ruining the rest of the apples in a barrel. You can almost liken this to a cancerous effect. The key is to prevent bad cell regeneration.


The Key


The key to preventing the regeneration of bad cells, (the cause of aging) is by regenerating healthy cells, (the prolonging of youth).

Earlier I mentioned the by-products of the cells' metabolic process. In short, all living things expel waste. Clearly, this is what we are talking about.

That's why cleansing and flushing our bodies, is important. It's an oxidation process just like rust or when a sliced apple turns brown.

I also mentioned that bad cells will harm healthy cells.

This happens because bad cells are not complete. They are lacking something and they rob or steal from healthy cells, what they are lacking thereby, making both cells incomplete.


Never Whole Again


Unfortunately, the thieving cell does not become whole, again.

It only causes destruction of the other cell. Now, two cells go out to do the same. And it multiplies.

These types of cells have a name. They are called Free Radicals. You may have heard of them before.

That kind of cellular activity can not only age you more quickly but can lower your immunity so that you would become sickly more often.


Proper Nutrition = Prevention and Healing


Fortunately we have known for some time that proper nutrition can help us to prevent such cellular activity.

The problem then becomes our diet.

Most of the time we aren't eating right but even when we do it's not enough.

Today's food has about one fifth of the nutrition it did forty and more, years ago.

Farming methods that have depleted soils of natural nutrients and over-fertilization have taken a toll on the actual nutrition our produce provides.


Organic


Organic farming has put natural, high nutrition back into foods.

This is essential to good nutrition because vitamins can't replace the nutrition of live food.

That's right, live food.

Even after picking produce there is still life in it, until it has totally rotted away.

All of this is important because nutritious food has more vitamins, phyto-nutrients and antioxidants.


Antioxidants


This last word, antioxidants, is very important in the fight for anti-aging. Antioxidants and a clean system/body (fluids, fiber etc) will do worlds of good for your quest to retain youth.


Remember Free Radicals?


Remember 'Free Radicals', the bad cells?

Well, it just so happens that antioxidants feed bad cells exactly what they are lacking which, in turn, means they no longer need to attack and rob other healthy cells.

Now you are benefited in two ways.

You are detoxifying your system by having less dying cells through the use of good nutrition and more specifically, antioxidants, but also you are sufficiently cleansing your body with proper hydration and don't forget plenty of fiber.


So Which Foods Have What You Need?


At this time your question should be "Which foods will give me the most antioxidant benefit?"

This is a good question and the answer is fruits and vegetables and the more brightly and darkly colored, the better.

For example, blueberries have more antioxidants than strawberries.

However, don't sell any food short.

All fruits and vegetables have shining qualities and there are things a strawberry has more in abundance than a blueberry. For now we are concerned with antioxidants.

Also, don't forget that organic will outperform non-organic, five to one and wild fruits are even better.


Ace-in-the-Hole


Again, every fruit has it's ace-in-the-hole so you should get variety in your diet.

We are now told that we should get 8-10 servings of fruit a day.

This number keeps going up (remember soil depletion?) and that's why organic is so important.

Purchasing a wide variety of fruits can get expensive, especially when those fruits are organic.

Also, keeping them fresh all week long is next to impossible.

Almost always you will have to discard some of it because it has gone bad.


What's the Simple Solution that Saves Money?


How can you maintain such a diet and keep it within your budget?

You still have other groceries to buy. A wide variety of fruits will include seasonal, tropical fruits which, contain nutrients we don't find in domestic fruits grown here, in the United States.

The cost of such a variety of wild and organic fruits will most likely exceed $50/week and again, you may be discarding $10 worth of that by the end of the week.

Most of us cannot afford that but we may still be interested in getting those nutrients, in a natural way. What can one do?


The Solution


I found a product that has a combination of 19 wild and organic fruits with the Açai berry being the main component.

Açai is now known as the world's Number One Superfood.

It has twenty times the antioxidants of most fruits and more than five times that of blueberries.

It also has Omega 3 and 6 oils and fiber, to boot.

This Ultimate Nutritional Cocktail has other wild and organic fruits in it such as Acerola, Apricot, Aronia, Banana, Bilberry, Blueberry, Camu Camu, Cranberry, Kiwi, Lychee, Nashi Pear, Passion Fruit, Pomegranate, Wolfberry, Prune Pear, White and Purple Grapes.
All of these fruits work in a synergistic fashion to give you an ultimate dose of nutrition and antioxidants.


Four Little Ounces


You get this nutrition by consuming four ounces of the juice, everyday.

This consumption will give you the benefit of eating 13 servings of wild and organic fruit.


No Waste


The beauty of a natural product like this is that you will be consuming ALL OF IT!

There is no waste of rotting product.

Good to the last drop, as they say.

Oh, did I forget to tell you that it is absolutely delicious? Well, it is and with a super intense berry flavor!

This product will not only give you the antioxidants you are looking for to combat Free Radicals, but it is also affordable.

It comes in several formulas geared for heart-healthy concerns, immune system re-enforcement or with glucosamine which is beneficial for your joints.

There is also a totally natural energy drink available.

It provides natural energy from 80% juice and is free of sugar additives such as high fructose corn syrup, glucose or sucrose.

In short, it is real and natural energy, not a sugar high. It is actually healthy for you.


Give it to the Kids


This is a good thing to give to children. It is absolutely delicious, with a super intense berry flavor!
