“When I turned 35 my life became an animal farm: I got crow’s feet and a turkey neck. I started to eat like a pig and took more than my share of catnaps. But worst of all, the Charley horses were killing me. Oh, how I wished that I could hide in that little mouse hole”- suzan zeiger 

As the body gets older, its ability to revitalize and repair itself also diminishes.  When we reach our mid 30’s, we can really begin to notice the changes in our bodies. Obesity and diabetes are rising out of control in the United States, even among the youth of America, and diseases influenced by inflammation are growing at an alarming rate. What can be done to stop this?

First we must accept that we are all responsible for our own health - first and foremost. All of us must make it a priority to make changes in our lives in order to improve the health and vitality that we all want to hold onto in our later years. We must become educated as to what is needed to keep our body systems maintained and to protect our cells against progressive damage. We also need to make smart decisions about the foods we put into our bodies in order to keep those nutrients that are essential available so that our bodies can repair themselves.  The body truly is a miracle – think of it like a house that paints itself automatically when needed, and repairs its own roof if it leaks! Now you get the idea!

In the days of our grandparents the food that was eaten satisfied hunger cravings and provided a more diverse amount of nutrients. The fast food we eat today, along with the processed foods in the supermarket, have been stripped of their nutrients and are now deficient in those essential nutrients that the body requires to obtain real satisfaction. As a result, we often overeat and this can cause Disease.

Those of us who have passed the age of 35 should take an extra hard look at what we are putting into our bodies on a daily basis. The goal is to reduce the amount of damaging foods and to maximize the amount of foods that aid in the repair and rejuvenation process.

Step one for healthy eating is to change the ingredients that we commonly use and include more organic whole grains, organic meat and organic produce (fruits and vegetables) and to limit the amount of processed foods and trans-fats. We should also reduce the amount of refined sugars and sugary caffeine drinks. Caffeine is actually a “stressor” to the body and provides a false sense of energy while it is actually over stimulating the adrenal glands. Caffeine is also a diuretic, which removes fluids from the body. Coffee drinkers should limit themselves to one 8-ounce cup of decaf coffee a day, or better yet, switch to green tea. Sugary caffeine drinks should be eliminated or at least reduced, as noted above. (see sentence above introducing this as a problem.

The biggest problem is that these healthy foods are not always convenient or available. That is why I recommend supplements in the Univera line of products. They are packaged in convenient, ready-to-drink single-sized portions for those on the go, and they also come in concentrate form to keep costs to a minimum. The goal with supplements is to fill in the gaps from our Standard American Diet (SAD) and to improve cellular health and reduce cellular damage. I recommend the AgelessXtra, the Essentials (Jetson –Super Food) and PRIME for everyone over 35. Eleven products come with a 90-day risk-free trial period so that you can try them over an extended period of time ,as good heath is also progressive. Be encouraged to take control of your health and begin transforming your body today!
