Anti-Aging Solutions:

Although we all aspire for optimal health and fitness, one factor that we must accept as the inevitable course of nature is the aging process. However aging can be delayed or even halted by engaging in exercise: Anti-Aging Exercises. By now we all know one essential component of being healthy is proper exercise. Moreover, research has shown exercises do help all the more to enhance the anti-aging process.

 

If there is a magic pill for anti-aging solutions, there is no doubt among leading researchers that anti-aging exercise is it. Nothing comes closer to achieving anti-aging effects in our body as exercise. From an anti-aging perspective, the real question is not whether to exercise, but more importantly, what kind of exercise, how much, and how often.

 

This is where the secret is.

 

Now, Anti-aging exercises consist of 3 separate components:

 

1. Flexibility Training

2. Cardiovascular Training

3. Strength Training

 

Each of these components is equally important. Just as much as it is well known that aerobics is good for the heart, it should also be noted that flexibility and strength training contribute as much to anti-aging exercises as cardiovascular (aerobics) training does.

 

It will be sufficient to say at this point that any anti-aging solutions or exercise program must be customized to meet your personal needs, based on your current physical conditions. As well, the program must include, in a balanced fashion, all three components mentioned above.

 

Let us now look at each of the three components in detail.

 

Anti-Aging Exercises: Assessing the three Components.

 

Flexibility Training Program

 

Inflexibility is a noted symptom of physical deterioration and a critical element that must be addressed in any anti-aging exercise program. As a result of misinformation, most people go straight into an anti-aging exercise program without warming-up the body and stretching the muscles. That said, you need to learn exactly how to include flexibility training and stretching into your busy schedule taking no more than 5-10 minutes a day of your time.

 

Flexibility training is the foundation of any anti-aging exercise program because it increases blood flow to the muscle. It also warms up the main muscles of our body and allows our body to be more pliable and less prone to injury as a result of exercise or the daily demands that we may put on our bodies. Proper Stretching should only take 5-10 minutes a day. Considering the short length of time needed, it will be safe to say one should not (and need not) embark on any aerobic program or weight-training program without first doing stretching exercises for your key muscle groups.

 

Cardiovascular Training Program:

 

Cardiovascular (aerobic) exercise is an important part of the anti-aging exercise program. It is one of the greatest anti-aging bullets available. It must be noted that the list of benefits from aerobic exercise resembles those obtained from the popular HGH (growth hormone pill) growth hormone. These include a gain of muscle mass and strength, loss of fat, increased energy, increased sense of well being and a decrease in anxiety and depression.

 

In addition, aerobic exercise also increases the level of HDL-cholesterol, lowers blood pressure, improves the immune system and helps protect the body against a host of chronic diseases.

 

While research has shown that cardiovascular exercise increases longevity. Men who spend at least 2,000 kilocalories per week doing moderate exercise such as tennis, swimming, jogging or brisk walking, lowered their overall death rate by 25 to 33 percent and decreased their risk of coronary artery disease by an astounding 41 percent when compared to their more inactive fellow counterparts.

 

Cardiovascular exercise as a form of an anti-aging exercise program benefits any age group. However, it should be customized to fit the particular needs of each person.

 

It must be noted that any aerobic activity stimulates deep breathing by using large muscle groups in a continuous and rhythmical manner. Exercises such as jogging, running, walking, hiking, dancing and swimming are such activities.

 

Strength Training Program

 

Several anti-aging experts agree that strength training should be an integral part of any anti-aging exercise program. The reason is simple: After the age of 30, our body mass begins to decrease by 6-10 % with each decade. This means by age 70, we have only about 50% of our muscle strength left!

 

Needless to say, decrease in body strength leads to decrease in function, less energy, less balance, and increase in accident rate. Therefore, increasing strength through your anti-aging exercise program should be receive equal attention as the other components of anti-aging exercises listed above.

 

Strength training, as a form of an anti-aging exercise, activates your pituitary gland to release growth hormone (growth hormone is a key anti-aging hormone).

Therefore working together with the cardiovascular component of anti-aging exercise training, one is bound to see an increased level of anti-aging hormones released into the blood stream which of course lends to a successful delay of the overall aging process.

 

Yoga as a form of an Anti-Aging Exercise:

 

From all the factors above, we must have realized by now just how important it is to engage in exercise for anti-aging purposes. We have also learned to include the three components of a total anti-aging exercise program which were Flexibility, Strength and Cardiovascular training. But what if I told you Yoga: Poses, Abdominal and Breathing Exercises could give you all of those? Well it can-when practiced correctly. Moreover, when combined with other forms of body-weight exercises such as Pilates, Hindu-Push Ups (both being direct descendants of Yoga) and Calisthenics, you are definitely bound to see a drastic delay in the whole aging process.

 

Through routine exercise, we will feel happier, energetic, and confident. It also increases our bone density and muscle mass which can make our bodies look 15-20 years younger. However, some yoga poses such as the Sun Salutations, The Shoulder Stand and the Abdominal Lift Exercises in Yoga have been known for centuries to delay aging naturally (of course in an adherence to a proper diet). Though any vigorous exercise may suffice, Yoga stands unmatched as an anti-aging exercise of physical culture…Hey, have you seen Madonna or Sting on TV lately? Being one of the main exercises I personally advocate and practice, detailed instructions on how to execute specific Yoga Poses for their use as a form of anti-aging exercise shall be covered in detailed in the downloadable text Fitness: Inside and Out.

Anti-Aging Solutions and the Need for Vitamins:

 

When using an anti-aging exercise program, keep in mind that the need for anti-aging vitamins best derived from a proper diet remains an essential factor. The vitamins are items of a very complex nature. Each one of them has special work to perform. They control the body's use of minerals. If the mineral supply is deficient, there is less for vitamins to do. Taking this into consideration, a proper balance of vitamins and minerals is thus imperative for proper functioning of the endocrine and hormonal systems which are the core ones that lead to the success of any anti-aging exercise regimen.

 

While conventional marketers may try to sell you so-called anti-aging vitamins in the form of pills, the best source of vitamins to use during an anti-aging exercise program will be the natural sources. The main vitamins needed are

 

1. Vitamin A

2. Vitamin B complex

3..Vitamin C

4. Vitamin D

5. Vitamin E

6. Vitamin K

 

Suffice to say, just as the Father of Medicine, Hippocrates, once stated in regards to getting the best source of the vitamins above, your best bet will be your fresh fruits and vegetables. These will also be the best source of Minerals for anti-aging purposes such as Calcium, chlorine, copper, Iodine, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium, Sodium and Sulphur which are all absolutely essential for any anti-aging exercise program.

 

Other Factors for success in Your Anti-Aging Exercise Program:

 

1. Detoxification – It’s important to start a detoxification routine, a process aimed at getting rid of toxins from our body. Our body metabolism has done that process, but in everyday life we are exposed to so many chemical hazards from air, food and environment. Fasting or just consuming fruits and vegetables are ways to detoxify our body and this is touched on in great detail for proper results in Section 3 of my e-book: Fitness: Inside and Out.

2. Sufficient sleep:

An observance of nature will show us that animals love to rest and sleep. They get as much sleep as they want. Rest and sleep are essential to recharge our nervous energy. Our Physical, emotional and mental balance depends on the quantity and quality of these vital necessities. They are the only things that recharge these batteries and allow for the proper elimination of metabolic wastes.

3. Proper Diet:

This might play arguably the most important role in any anti-aging exercise program. Remember: “You are what you eat!” Eat the right foods as described in Section 3 of my e-book (yes…you guessed right, your fruits and veggies: The Mucus-less diet!) and you’d be bound to retain youth, flexibility and virility even as you advance in age. Of course, in a wise combination with the next factor, this natural anti-aging discipline will be enhanced even further!

This is the third (of the 3 limbs) of Naturopathy. Think young and you’d be young, think success and you’d get success. As an anti-aging method, positive thinking (of course with an adherence to a proper diet and exercise) and affirmations should be incorporated in your anti aging exercise program for optimal success.

 

Also keep in mind that laughter, keeping company with friends and family (that raise your spirits), interacting with children, animals and nature and just remembering to take things easy are other factors that aid in delaying the aging process.

 

It is with confidence that in applying the methods listed above simultaneously that you too will achieve success for your own natural anti-aging exercise program.
