Methods of Alleviating the Ravages of Old Age

By by Anju Mathur, MD

Aging is an inevitable part of life, so many of us try to resign ourselves to accepting it with grace. The truth is, although growing older is unavoidable, many of the effects of aging are preventable.

You have a choice ? you can make the decision. Avoiding decay and deterioration in the face of advancing years is possible. Time will pass no matter which choice you make.

That an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure is a landmark concept in health management and is certainly wiser and more cost effective.

A realistic goal is not to prolong life to some unrealistic advanced age, but to promote successful aging ? staying healthy and functional up to the end of a long, productive life. Utilization of safe, effective therapies that address the underlying mechanisms of aging, e.g. natural hormone replacement, and specific dietary and exercise recommendations are a good foundation to an anti-aging program.

Degenerative diseases can be stopped or reversed with correct eating habits, the addition of hormones and nutritional supplements and exercise

Extra weight gain and fatigue, memory loss, muddled feelings, and weakness are all symptoms associated with age. These can be improved by these new methods. Some diseases resulting from old age can also be avoided or handled, such as late onset diabetes, cancer and heart diseases.

The most important part of a program of rejuvenation would be replacement of the natural hormones that decline with age. The program would include detoxification of the body, testing and determination of what supplements the body needs and a doable diet for that particular type of body. Environment also plays a role and one would be urged to avoid environmental and personal toxins and lead an ecological life style.

You can participate in this new route to health and enjoy a youthful aging process. Effects of aging can be prevented with effective programs from a health practitioner.
