Eating Too Many Calories
Americans are jeopardizing their health and longevity by consuming too many calories without realizing the consequences to their bodies.
Those who appear slim, healthy and exercise still ingest more calories than their bodies can handle which can lead to health problems later on in life.
Some of the problems include: • High cholesterol • High blood pressure • Cardiovascular disease • Metabolic syndrome • Other diseases from arthritis to cancer Restricting calories may sound harsh and impossible to adhere to but it can be done with nutrient-dense meals that will 'turn on' your genes dramatically and slow down the aging process from the inside out.
Restricting calories can improve cognitive function and reduce the risk of cancer and heart disease.
Calorie restriction is now known to activate specific molecules known as 'silent information regulators' or siruteins that help repair DNA damage, improve metabolism and slow the aging process.
Siruteins are everywhere in the body and by reducing caloric intake, are activated to initiate age-delaying benefits by: • Preventing DNA damage • Promoting cell structure integrity • Minimizing damage done by glucose • Reducing inflammation • Protecting against oxidative stress in the body Glutathione is an antioxidant found internally in most cells in the body and flavonoids help maintain healthy levels to prevent oxidative stress.
One of the most important flavonoids is resveratrol found in red wine grape skins (as well as other dark-colored fruits) and is receiving a lot of attention in the natural health world.
It has been shown to significantly reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and lower LD (bad) cholesterol in the blood.
Resveratrol is able to mobilize several antioxidant processes that are inherent to cells in the body.
It can help prevent oxidative damage following a heart attack or stroke and prevent neuron damage found in Alzheimer's and other diseases.
The best news about resveratrol is that it can prevent advanced glycation end products known as AGE's that come from eating too much sugar that can result in Type 2 Diabetes.
Adding resveratrol to your daily regimen and reducing calories will go a long way in preventing age-related diseases for a long and healthy life
