Anti-Aging, Health & Nutrition Facts

Not all minerals and vitamins are health effective minerals and vitamins. Because not all of them made equal.

Up to 90% of people today know, that supplemental nutrients are very important to the health every

individual. In fact, deficiency of minerals will cause many illnesses and diseases. This is why we

have hundreds of supplements on our supermarket shelves to cover the demand. But, which one to choose? Which of them are health effective minerals and vitamins? We know from experience, that ‘not everything, that shines, is real gold!’

In all these varieties of brands and forms of supplements there are effective ones, not effective

ones, there are even harmful ones, and there are excellent products, that stand above the others. Let’s examine a few of them. What do we call a health effective minerals and vitamins?

First of all, those minerals and vitamins which are easily absorbed by the body. And having that ability, they provide priceless benefits to our health. Until recently there were a few particular groups of minerals:

1. Hard tablets which are commonly used everywhere. The absorption of these minerals up to

10-12%, depending on many factors. So, for example, if you consume 1000mg tablet of calcium, your

body will absorb only 100mg of it. And rest of it will go through without any benefits to your body,

what so ever. And to get the actual 1000mg you’ll have to consume 10 tablets or more.

2. There is another form of minerals, liquid form, called colloidal… Some doctors say these

minerals absorbed up to90%… And that would be great, except for one thing: These liquids often

contain harmful elements like lead, which you can not extract from that solution. So, instead of

having been effective this type of minerals could be harmful. Besides they have a very nasty taste,

so not every bobby would like to use them.

3. And there is an absolutely new group, a new form of minerals which stands above the rest:

Minerals and vitamins suspended in gel. This product contains in itself the best qualities of all

groups above and became truly health effective minerals and vitamins. Through suspension gel technology, concentrated nutrients can be taken anywhere, quickly and easily,

readily absorbed pure minerals and vitamins. And last, but not least factor is that they have a very

good taste. So, question which minerals and vitamins are the best? For me and my family there is no question. We vote for the supplement that easily absorbed and have a

great taste. Minerals and vitamins suspended in gel. Because these are truly health effective

minerals and vitamins!

There is a gene within our bodies that protects us from cancer, but there is new research that finds it may also delay aging. The gene is p53, or Protein 53 and there are hopes that new drugs will one day prevent cancer and extend youth and lifespan as it is a tumor suppressor. P53 is known as the “guardian angel gene” and has many anti-cancer mechanisms.

The study included genetically engineered mice with an extra copy of p53 that was strictly regulated by another, to turn on only when required; researchers found it played a huge role in delaying aging. In past cancer research, p53 caused premature aging because it was not regulated. The gene’s function is to produce a protein that kills cancer cells, hence stopping the formation of tumors.

The researchers concluded that mice with the extra copy of p53 lived 16% longer. As long as this gene is functioning properly, damaged or cancer cells destroy themselves thereby avoiding cell division causing tumors. Still, the right balance is necessary and requires further study to prevent any harmful effects. While there are chemical compounds developed that boost p53, they are being tested for anti-cancer and anti-aging.

Recent studies also showed that p53, when stimulated by sunlight leads to tanning. There are some people with a rare condition, who inherit only one functional copy of the p53 gene and are therefore predisposed to cancer and often develop many tumors in early adulthood. But, there are mutations in p53 that are found in most tumor types which contribute to the chain of events leading to tumor formation.

In the meantime, we can only hope that new findings and new studies of p53 will show conclusive results in both preventing cancer and anti-aging, and possibly increasing our lifespan by 16%, as it did with laboratory mice.

Protein is the chief building material of your body. Eighteen per cent of your total body weight is pure protein. For example, if you weigh 150 pounds, then approximately 27 pounds of you are pure protein that needs constant repairing, replacing and rebuilding-with more protein, of course. If you were to analyze a single cell taken from any part of your body-a hair in your head, the tissue in your heart, the lining of your intestines, the muscles in your legs- you would find this tiny cell composed chiefly of protein. And, like the parts of any constantly operated, non-resting machine, your body cells are continually wearing out, needing repairs or replacements. So what are you going to do? Patch up your protein body cells with carbohydrates? Just try patching a rubber tire on your car with flour-and-water paste, and see how far you’ll get! Protein should be the featured food in your diet at all times.

The perpetual-motion human machine must have abundant protein every day in order to repair, replace and renew worn-out cells in every part of your body. When you don’t supply enough high-protein foods in your daily diet to make certain that these vitally needed cell repairs and replacements can go on without interruption, you’re inviting old age to take over. In the laboratories, nutritional scientists and biochemists have proved that a diet poor in proteins hastens aging in the human body. I could cite you case after case of elderly persons, weakened by tea-and-toast diets to the point of imminent death, who have been restored to life and usefulness by gradually converting their meals to high-protein foods. Their weakened bodies gained new vigor, and their minds become keen and alert once more.

Nobody who has witnessed these recoveries, as I have, could ever deny that protein foods are truly nutritional wonders. A grievous error has been committed for many years by some medical men who ban high-protein foods such as red meats and cheese as “too heavy” for older digestions. Through this ignorance of the vital part protein plays in preserving youthfulness and maintaining life, such men have “prescribed” invalidism and premature death for many an older person who otherwise could have enjoyed many more years of an active, useful life. Protein foods are the main factor in prolonging youth for the past-forty group, and in maintaining physical vigor and mental alertness in the aged.

Several things start happening to your body cells as the calendar years begin slipping past the forty mark. Biologists tell us that “aging is a matter of changes in your tissue cells.” First, the tissue cells in older bodies are less elastic, less resilient, less able to recover quickly from fatigue and injury than the cells in younger bodies. Second, the active cells in the older body (especially those in your glands and muscles) gradually grow fewer. Bearing in mind what I’ve already told you about the great restorative powers of protein on body cells (as evidenced by the case histories of those protein-starved elderly patients miraculously restored to life and usefulness), isn’t it sheer logic that the more years you carry, the more repair material you need each day? And what is that “repair material” except food protein} The more enlightened of our physicians today recognize how wrong it is to eliminate high-protein foods from the diet of the average patient. Yet there still remain the diehard doctors who cling to the out-of-date theory that certain ailments such as arthritis, high blood pressure, certain kidney diseases, hardening of the arteries and diabetes mean “cutting down on,” if not eliminating entirely, meat in the patient’s diet.

There is the case of a thirty-nine-year-old woman, well known to me, who developed rheumatoid arthritis several years ago. Weighing all of a scant 105 pounds, she had dieted strenuously for years to keep from getting fat; she had existed mostly on tea and dry toast. Since becoming arthritic, her physician had kept her on a no-meat diet, his reasoning being that meat was “bad” for her condition. About the time I started writing this book, word reached me that she had collapsed from weakness and severe nutritional anemia and had been rushed to the hospital. This came as no surprise to me, for I had anticipated some such climax to her case in view of her “no-meat” diet. For days, while she remained in the hospital, she was given injections of various concentrated nutriments in an effort to overcome the anemia, and to give her strength enough to sit in a chair. I don’t need to tell you that this woman, although only thirty-nine years old, looked a good twenty years older on the day she was taken to the hospital. A flagrant case of induced premature aging-induced by both her own senseless dieting and her doctor’s ignorance.

Like most stories, this one has a sequel. Thanks to the common sense of the young doctor now in charge of her case, this woman is taking mineral capsules containing iron in order to build up her blood hemoglobin. Also, he has ordered her to eat three high-protein meals a day. When last I had word of her, she had recovered sufficient use of her swollen arthritic hands to do some sewing-and to wash the Venetian blinds in her home-all this in only three short months from the time she was carried to the hospital, a victim of extreme nutritional exhaustion.

But, as a rule, you cannot look to your doctor to help you stay young. He is a repair man, not a rejuvenator. Your determined campaign to retain the wonderful feeling of youth which seems to be slipping away should begin with your next meal-a meal built around protein. “How much protein? And what kind?” you ask. Which leads us to the old riddle: How much is enough?
