ANTI-AGING NOTE (01) :
MELATONIN DOES MORE THAN HELP YOU SLEEP
As prescriptions - and profits - for sleep aids like Alprazolam and Diazepam continue to rise, drug companies often take notice of other remedies that actually work. Melatonin is a good example.
But melatonin does more than just help you sleep. This hormone has anti-ageing properties that help you look and feel younger. And melatonin can protect your cells against diseases like cancer and Alzheimer’s. It also stimulates the release of human growth hormone (HGH), one of the primary hormones of youth.
Melatonin is a powerful antioxidant. It destroys disease-causing molecules called free radicals at an incredible pace. And it does something most other antioxidants can’t: It stimulates extra antioxidant enzymes that can protect against everything from wrinkles to illness.
For anti-aging benefits, take just 0.5 mg a day. To help you sleep, take between 1.5 mg and 2 mg before going to bed. If you have a chronic disease, like cancer, a stronger dose of 20 mg to 40 mg before bed may be consumed. But don’t take a higher dose without discussing it with your doctor!. And women who are pregnant or nursing should avoid the use of all hormones without a doctor’s supervision.

ANTI-AGING NOTE (02) :
AN ANTIOXIDANT THAT MAY HELP YOU AVOID DIABETES AND OBESITY
You’ve probably heard that red wine has health benefits. You may even know about about the powerful antioxidant called RESVERATROL. One study has found that Resveratrol lengthened the lives of mice by 30 percent.
It super-charged their muscles, reduced their heart rates, and gave them a boost in endurance comparable to the boost humans achieve through athletic training.

Resveratrol protected mice from gaining weight and developing the symptoms of diabetes and obesity.
Other benefits included a heightened sensitivity to insulin (a sensitivity which declines with age).
When you reverse this decline in insulin sensitivity, you have not only reduced the effects of aging, you’ve also helped maintain your ideal weight and avoid diabetes.
Aside from red wine, good sources of resveratrol are blueberries, cranberries, bilberries, and red grapes.

ANTI-AGING NOTE (03):
KNOW THE TRUTH ABOUT BREAD
There are some foods mainly Carbohydrates, which are ranked from having Highest Glycaemic Index (Raises Blood Sugar to maximum) to Least Glycemix Index (Raises Blood Sugar to minimum ).So the foods that are having low Glycemic Index are definitely more system friendly as Antiaging or Life lengthening is concerned.
Notice that the four categories at the top of the index are all Grain foods:
Highest GI: Cereals
Second-highest GI: Breads
Third-highest GI: Other grain products
Fourth-highest GI: Pastas
Fifth-highest GI: Desserts
Sixth-highest GI: Fruits GI = Glycemic Index.
In other words, cereals, breads, pastas, and other grain products generally produce more sugar in your blood than desserts or fruits.
"Wholesome" whole-wheat bread has a glycemic score of 80 - twice that of an ice cream, apples, or peaches.
"Wholesome" whole-wheat bread has a glycemic score of 80 - twice that of an ice cream, apples, or peaches.
Conclusion: Whole-grain bread spikes your blood sugar the same as white bread does.
High-glycemic foods make you fat and accelerate aging. (Increasing body fat is one of the markers of aging.)
Adding fuel to the fire, all grains contain proteins called lectins. These cause inflammation and lead to problems like arthritis and chronic fatigue - two more problems of aging.
To reduce the effects of aging, avoid the grains and get the fiber you need from fruits and vegetables.
BONUS TIP:
SIX-WEEKS TO FEEL YOUNGER, LOOK BETTER, AND HAVE MORE ENERGY
Want to lose a few years? Get rid of that paunch? Muscle out, limber up, and feel better?
You can make a great start in six weeks by following Dr. Al Sears' Anti-Aging Plan.
Week One:
Start taking anti-aging vitamins, particularly those that lower homocysteine levels:
B12 (500 mcg), folic acid (800 mcg), B6 (25 mg), riboflavin (25 mg), and Methycobalamin (500 mg.)
Week Two:
Begin a daily routine of stress-reducing techniques. Meditate. Breathe. Walk slowly. Enjoy yourself. You may make a block of 15 – 20 minutes for each of them.
Week Three:
Begin an anti-aging strength-training (high-intensity/short-duration) routine three times a week. Slow, smooth movements are best to reduce the risk of injury.
Week Four:
Begin to change your diet. Avoid high-calorie foods, eating after dinner, and overeating.
You may want to even consider some short-term fasting. It’s recommended that you speak to your physician prior to beginning any fasting program to ensure the decrease in daily caloric intake doesn’t complicate any possible existing medical ailments.
Week Five:
Correct any hormone imbalances. Have your hormone levels checked -- especially your testosterone, estrogen, and DHEA. Then talk to a doctor who understands these things about how to naturally regulate yours. DHEA = Decaso Hexa EcasoNoic Acid.
Week Six:
Regain youthful levels of HGH (human growth hormone -- the most powerful factor in staying young) by eating more protein and exercising more strenuously.
