The cells of the body have been shown to divide for a specific number of times for each individual in their lifetime. By the time a person leaves their teenage years behind almost half of their cell division quota has been used up.

This causes the physical changes in the body that are represented by aging and anything that we can do to slow down this process of cell division will increase life expectancy.

As we continue to age and move towards our early forties almost another half of the remaining cells are used up leaving only 25 – 30 percent available for the rest of our lives.

Obviously when the final allotment of cells are used up the outcome is death.

So what can we do to slow this down and extend our years?
The main cause of the speed by which the cells will degenerate is from free radicals and fortunately scientific research has determined that this rate can be slowed with the introduction of more antioxidants which reduces the free radicals.
The more free radicals we have the faster the rate the body ages.

What are free radicals?

They are the harmful substances that are the result of oxidation and occur naturally in the body.
It is only when they attack the healthy cells in the body that they cause a problem however they are unable to distinguish between which cells are good and which ones are bad.

It is the destruction of healthy cells that causes the aging process and if more pronounced they can cause other more serious disorders and diseases.

By reducing these free radicals with the help of antioxidants the body clock is slowed down and we are able to look and feel younger for longer.

While the body is unable to produce its own antioxidants without help we must get a sufficient supply in the foods that we eat as it is the distinct function of antioxidants to act on these free radicals and maintain the necessary balance to maintain optimum health.

The best sources of antioxidants are found in foods such as berries, broccoli, carrots, garlic, red grapes, soy, spinach, tea, tomatoes and whole grains.

By adding these to your diet on a regular basis you should be getting sufficient in your body to maintain a healthy balance and reduce the aging process.

Once we reach our teenage years, many of us worry about our physical appearance. However this continues in the many years to follow. I think that’s why many older people have a mid life crisis. We no longer have the skin like we used to, the energy like we used to, or the bodies like we used to. What many of us don’t know is that there are natural ways to get all that back.

Many are skeptical when it comes to diets because we’re all too familiar with diets that fail. Most diets have a low calorie intake which ultimately decreases metabolism and fat storage to prevent from starvation. If you lose weight at a slow pace, you will burn fat not muscle.

Green tea has been around for many years and has a huge impact on weight loss. By just doing the daily activities in your life and drinking green tea, you can see dramatic results in you body.

The normal person burns fat at a rate of 10%, that number can increase up to 40% when drinking green tea or green tea supplements. This is because green tea helps your body produce more energy and the more energy you produce, the more calories you will burn.

Green tea is made up of catechins. Catechins play an important role. They not only metabolize fat and prevent it from building up but also targets the fat and helps break it down.

Green tea contains high levels of antioxidants called polyphenols. Leptin is a chemical protein that manages the fat storage in your body. If you have less leptin, you’ll have less of an appetite. Polyphenols help minimize your levels of leptin. If you’re less hungry you will lose weight.

Food is broken down into a substance called triglyceride. The excess amounts of triglyceride, are turned into fat. Studies have shown that polyphenols aide in dissolving excess triglyceride. Thus, resulting in weight loss.

Studies have shown that people that drink green tea and exercise will lose weight faster than those who don’t. Keep in mind this is not a fast weight loss method. So setting long term weight loss goals will be more beneficial.

Green tea also regulates your blood sugar which also reduces food cravings. Green tea has a number of benefits for your body aside from weight loss, it also promotes healthy skin, helps aide the immune system, protects against disease, and helps fight aging.

Whether you opt to drink green tea or take the supplement, the effects can only be positive ones. Not only is it natural, but it’s cheap and healthy for you.

Every morning, when you look in the mirror, you come to terms with your appearance. When you were younger, you worried about pimples and acne. Now that you’re older, you wonder where the wrinkles and age spots came from.

Even if you consider it vain to be concerned about your physical appearance, it can still be a bit disconcerting to watch your youthful looks vanish, being replaced by wrinkles, age spots and dark circles under your eyes.

But there are steps you can take, right now, to diminish the signs and effects of aging. You can take supplements that are specifically designed to fight the ravages of aging.

Anti-aging supplements are meant to boost the missing components in your body that prolong youthful health and appearance. These supplements can help in regenerating collagen for healthy skin, combat free radicals, repair damaged skin tissue and hydrate your skin overall.

Natural supplements, such as omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin A, vitamin C and vitamin E are the best and most effective internal supplements according to clinical studies. These nutrients strengthen and regenerate skin tissue.

Omega-3 fatty acids assist in promoting balanced hormone production. There are growth hormones in our body that can help boost collagen and repair damaged tissues. Another good supplement is omega 6. Seafood is a good supply of omega 6 and its relation, omega 3. They are also referred to as fish oils.

Vitamin C, E and A all have regenerative properties in addition to their antioxidative benefits.

Resveratrol is another anti-aging supplement that has been talked about a lot lately. Resveratrol is found naturally in red wine, grapes, peanuts and blueberries.

Its anti aging properties is mainly due to the amount of antioxidants that it contains. High amounts of antioxidants are crucial to maintain the health of our bodies. Antioxidants help to stop the development of free radicals that develop in us. Free radicals damage our cells and this leads to many diseases and ailments and also causes our bodies to age.

Although research into the benefits of resveratrol is on-going, early results look promising. Laboratory tests have shown life can be extended by as much as 70%.

Along with supplements, it’s a good idea to drink a lot of water. As an adult, you should be drinking 8 to 10 glasses of water every day. The water helps keep the skin cells healthy. If your skin cells dehydrate, fine lines will start to appear and turn into wrinkles.
