Nutrition
Health and wellness should be viewed as goals to maintain throughout one’s lifetime. They include making choices everyday that will enhance your health and enable you to live a full, healthy life. In the United States we are living longer lives, but unfortunately we are living these years with declining health and loss of function.
The plan is simple and specific: Reduce inflammation with a diet, and if necessary, nutritional supplementation. This extremely important nutritional goal is based on research which clearly demonstrates that a poor diet can promote a state of chronic inflammation that leads to the expression of aches, pains and most chronic diseases such as arthritis, heart disease, depression, cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and multiple sclerosis. Getting adequate sleep, exercise and stress management are other important ways of reducing systemic inflammation.
Many of these chronic conditions associated with aging are not inevitable outcomes of the aging process. Instead, they are diseases often preventable simply by making appropriate lifestyle changes. Things such as low energy, weight gain, chronic pain, poor memory, and low libido are also viewed as signs of aging when in actuality they are signs of illness.
As you follow the nutritional program recommended to you, you will benefit in many ways: more energy, less body fat, better sleep, more strength, fewer aches and pains, healthier skin, and renewed vigor and vitality.
