Antioxidant supplementation is essential for combating free radicals. There is no single "magic bullet " supplement that can reverse aging. Anti-aging antioxidant supplements as acetyl-L-carnitine, alpha lipoic acid, coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), ginkgo biloba, NADH and riboflavin (Vitamin B2), Multi Vitamins and minerals can be included in the daily diet.

Acetyl-L-Carnitine (ALCAR) A powerful nutrient that helps to facilitate the entry and exit of essential fatty acids from the mitochondria. It is a natural biochemical that helps cells produce energy.

Alpha Lipoic Acid Alpha-Lipoic Acid has both water and fat soluble properties and is considered to be the "universal antioxidant." Alpha lipoic acid is essential for production of ATP. Alpha-Lipoic Acid is a highly potent antioxidant that counteracts reactive free radicals in the mitochondria, the power plants of cells where energy for all cellular activities is generated.

Coenzyme q-10 (Ubiquinone, CoQ10) CoQ10 is another critical nutrient for promoting healthy cells and protecting them from free radicals. CoQ10 is an important co-factor in the electron transport chain found within the mitochondria which is involved in the production of ATP. Supplementation with CoQ10 appears to reduce generation of free radicals and improve ATP production.

Ginkgo Biloba is a plant extract that appears to exert its neuroprotective effect by preserving mitochondrial function through its antioxidant effect. Studies have proven the benefits of Ginkgo Biloba for memory.

Multivitamin/mineral
Take Multiple Vitamin / Mineral with safe levels of vitamins, minerals (Including Selenium) and enzyme.

In a recent study of Japanese-American men living in Hawaii, vitamin supplements proved to be strong medicine in protecting against mental declines in old age. This study, part of the ongoing Honolulu-Asia Aging Study, included 3,385 men aged 71 to 93 years who had been under scrutiny by researchers for over 25 years. Those who took supplements of vitamins C and E had an incredible 88 percent lower risk of vascular dementia (progressive mental deterioration as a result of poor circulation to the brain) than those who did not take supplements.

Many of the external causes of aging skin are determined by the health and lifestyle decisions you make every day. Making unhealthy choices can cause prematurely aging skin, and this makes you look older, faster.

Here are 7 key factors that contribute to aging skin, making you look older than your years:

Cigarette smoke: Whether you smoke, or you spend time with a smoker, cigarette smoke is damaging –and aging-- your skin. Research has shown that exposure to cigarette smoke significantly increases skin wrinkles and dryness. This is partly due to the behavior of smoking, and also because cigarette smoke depletes your body of Vitamin C, which is a key ingredient for keeping skin plump and moist.

Some researchers believe that exposure to cigarette smoke (whether you smoke or not) is as damaging to aging skin as exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet rays.

Sun exposure: Sun exposure is very aging to skin. Unprotected skin that is exposed to the sun becomes more mottled in appearance. Freckles can turn into brown sun spots, the skin takes on a dry, leathery appearance, and wrinkles and sagging increase. The risk of skin cancer is significantly increased by sun exposure.

If you don’t want to avoid the sun, make sure you use sunscreen that protects against both UVA and UVB rays. Choose sunscreen with SPF of 15 or higher, and use it all year-round, even on cloudy days. Clouds do not protect you from ultraviolet ray exposure.

Lack of exercise: Living a sedentary life contributes to aging skin, because exercise helps tone muscles and gets blood flowing. Exercise should be an important part of every anti-aging skin care program.

Exposure to cold weather: Cold winds and low temperatures contribute to aging skin by making skin dry, so if you venture out in the cold make sure to use a good moisturizer.

Alcohol use: Alcohol contributes to aging skin by dilating small blood vessels in the skin and increasing blood flow near the skin's surface. Over time, these blood vessels can become permanently damaged, creating a flushed appearance and broken vessels on the skin’s surface.

Stress: Maybe you’ve heard this expression: “Don’t frown, your face could stay that way.” Stress and worry cause frowning, and over time the muscles in the face actually conform to that movement.

Lack of sleep: Too little sleep makes you look and feel tired. One of the first places lack up sleep shows up is on the face, with dark circles and bags under the eyes, and sagging skin.

From ages 25 to 35: Most hormone levels start to decrease. Growth hormone level has already fallen approximately 14% by age 35. Poor diet, stress and environmental pollution cause free radical formation and cellular damage. While you may look and feel good, internal cellular damage is already happening.

By age 45, production of many hormones has fallen by more than 25%. Internal cellular damage by free radical continues. Signs and symptoms of aging such as decreased visual acuity, graying of the hair, increased pigmenting of the skin. and decreased strength and energy are making their presence felt on the outside. The nails are brittle, the breath is short and gone with the libido. The prostate gland hypertrophies and the trips to the bathroom at night increase. If not controlled or slowed, mutational changes may lead to cancer.

At age 45 and above, most hormone production continues to decline, including growth hormone, DHEA, Melatonin, and male and female sexual hormones. It contributes to accelerate the aging process.

Anti-Aging exercise can make you stronger, healthier and younger. Exercise should incorporate flexibility and stretching training for our joints, cardiovascular training for our heart (Aerobic exercises) and strength (Resistence) training for our muscles. These exercises will prevent further loss of muscular strength, lung capacity and bone density. These exercises will stimulate the body to produce growth hormone, a hormone that has been shown to reverse the aging process and rejuvenate aged cells.

There are three definitive types of exercises that are best suited for an anti-aging regime:

Flexibility – The most important exercises to beat the aging process. It increases blood circulation and releases serotonin, which is a chemical produced by the brain and is necessary for overall health and well-being. Flexibility exercises are also safe and easy to perform.
Strength Building – These exercises will help build sturdiness and sustain bone mass. Your chances of having a debilitating injury are lessened as you build your muscle strength. Exercises to improve the muscles in your shoulders, back and legs will also help with hormone production.
Cardiovascular – Designed to keep your heart healthy, aerobic exercises also help fight depression and keep your weight down. Running, brisk walking and any other exercise that will increase your heart rate for a sustained period of time release brain chemicals that produce hormones.

A balanced anti-aging diet should be comprised of a 50/25/25 ratio of carbohydrate, protein, fat. The carbohydrate should be in the form of fruits and vegetables. Protein should preferably be from plant sources such as beans and tofu, with maximum one-third from animal sources like meat. Fat (mostly poly and mono-unsaturated) should come from olive oil and nuts rather than from animal products. Maintain your anti-aging weight which is 5-10% less than your ideal body weight. For men, the ideal body weight is 106 lbs for the first 5 feet of your height, plus 6 lbs for every inch after that. Ladies, your ideal body weight is 100 lbs for the first 5 feet of your height, plus 5 lbs for every inch more. Don't eat when you're not hungry. 5-6 small meals throughout the day are better than 1-3 big meals per day. If you really crave food, eat a piece of fresh fruit. Avoid refined sugar in junk foods (donuts and soft drinks). Refined sugar is the worst enemy in your fight against aging as it increases the production of cortisol, an age-inducing hormone.
