Younger Body Age Challenge

Would

you like to get a younger body?

Ever since I started to

see clients on 1-to-1 consultations or group consultations in the

Weight-Loss-Challenges (WLC) that I ran, I tried to emphasize that the aim

should be a healthier life and a healthier body, not a lower figure on the

scales. I have always wondered how successful I have been in getting that

message across though. With the biological vs. chronological age comparison, I

feel that I get better attention. When I tell a client in her 40s that she lives

in a body whose biological age is 60, I feel the effect of the statement. And

when we work together on reducing her biological age to the 30s, I can see the

enormous satisfaction that achievement makes!

aging like getting out of breadth and you would like to reverse them, continue

All of us desire a

younger-looking, healthier body

The current world we

live in expects youth and assumes that we do not age. There is a cheap, easy

and a safe way to stay young and that is by exercise. Researchers have stated

that by being physically active you could reduce you biological age by anything

from 10 to 20 years. Physically active 60 and 70 year olds were found to have

the same cardiopulmonary fitness as sedentary 20 year olds. Those active elders

were found to be twice as fit as sedentary people of the same age. And what

makes this so appealing is how little exercise it takes to realize the

benefits. A recreational one hour a day was all it took.

Adding healthy

years to your life span

Being biologically

younger also means that you may live longer. This is also backed up by research

that showed that subjects that burnt 2,000 calories a week (this is equivalent

to running or walking 3 miles a day) were up to a third lower than sedentary

counterparts. Using innovative analysis of computer data lead researchers to

conclude that a healthy lifestyle including regular exercise starting at the

age of 30, may potentially add 15 years to life expectancy. Another study

showed that when subjects were asked to stay in bed for 3 weeks their aerobic

capacity aged by the equivalent of 20 years. Exercising however needs to be

regular with a frequency of at least 3 times a week. Such a commitment will

make you feel younger, work harder and enjoy life more. Research has

demonstrated that aerobic exercises such as swimming, running, cycling and

walking are the most effective anti-ageing weapons. This Is because of their

demand for more oxygen which fuels the body cells and allows them to perform at

their best. It will also allow you to think and move faster.

Wise nutrition

choices enhance the anti-aging effect

The anti-aging effects

of exercise may be enhanced by other healthy lifestyle changes such as making

wise nutrition choices. As we age we lose lean muscle and to rebuild it we need

both exercise and nutrition. For exercise to be effective, you need to

re-generate your body cells, repair the damaged ones and feed the healthy ones

to keep them healthy. All of this should be done at the cellular level and can be achieved by cellular nutrition.  Furthermore more, there are medical indicators

for conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure and cholesterol that have

a tendency to deteriorate as we age. Reversing such a tendency which

effectively means turning the clock back

will require a nutritional intervention. Medical advice is paramount in these

cases and I can work with you on monitoring progress. As we age, our bodies

create higher levels of ****cysteine. These raised levels

can significantly increase vulnerability to cardiovascular disease, strokes,

Alzheimer's disease, osteoporosis and certain forms of cancer. Again, to reverse this particular ageing effect

we need a diet rich in Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12 and folic acid to reverse this

particular ageing effect. Also, when cells age their telomeres shorten to

reverse this ageing effect, a diet rich in Omega-3 is needed. Cooking choices

such as types of cooking oil and cooking method can dramatically improve the

nutritional value of your meal. All of these choices and many more are covered

in the various topics of the WLC that I run.

To sumarise

Physical activity beats

aging and will make you feel younger. It will also add years of quality life so

make it part of your life and learn to enjoy it for the good it will do to you.

With that you need to make healthy nutrition choices to enhance the benefits of

physical activity for a younger looking body and spirit.

Actions available

to you

If you are not active

yet, my advice to you is to start now and start slow. Do not let the lifestyle

change daunt you. Start with a weekly brisk walk then slowly increase the

frequency to daily. It is an effective start that will give you anti-aging

benefits and puts you in a good condition for more rigorous activities such as

swimming and running. Join one of my Younger body challenges in January and

join my Fit Club for a healthier younger you!

I have a new

challenge starting on January

So

why don't you  Join my 12 week Reduce Your Body Age challenge to Turn Your Body Clock Back and

Look and Feel Younger. This challenge is designed to help you shed some of

your chronological body age and get you to feel younger biologically. 

Take

the first step to Fight Body Aging and lose Weight by Joining the Body Age

Challenge. You can Fight Your Body Aging simply by feeding your Cells and keeping

them Young. We will work on your Metabolic Age, which reflects your Physical

Health for example you could be 35 but your metabolic age is 75. The only way

to do that is by a Healthy 

Nutrition

Program and a Suitable Fitness program that I will tailor make to fit your

needs and help your body resist ageing.
