Natural Anti Aging Supplements For a Long & Healthy Life

By the time you are finished reading this page, you will know exactly why and what type of nutritional supplement you should use as part of your daily health regimen.

We all know that everyone wants to live a long and healthy life. But managing a rigid dietary and exercise regimen to make it so is far from easy.

The best way to "cheat" is to use a high-quality nutritional supplement on a daily basis. Let's face it, it is far easier to take a powerful daily supplement than to avoid fried and processed foods, eat spinach around the clock, and spend 2 hours a day exercising at the gym.

If you are concerned about your health, then you are probably already taking a multi-vitamin. This is a good starting point, if the manufacturer of your multi-vitamin uses high-quality natural ingredients and the right delivery system to ensure the nutrients are properly absorbed by the body.

A daily nutritional supplement is now more important than ever because the foods that we eat today (even if we eat a healthy, balanced diet) are not as nutritious as they once were. This is the byproduct of modern industrial agriculture. There are numerous studies that have shown that healthy foods like broccoli, corn, potatoes, lettuce and other crops do not contain the amount of vitamins and nutrients today that they did 40 to 50 years ago.

Even worse, many respected health care professionals believe the lack of nutrients in our diet is at least partially to blame for the increasing numbers of people diagnosed with chronic and life-threatening diseases.

Everything within the body's chemistry is about balance. Too little of one substance and too much of another will throw off that balance. Such an imbalance damages the cells and accelerates the aging process. You may be surprised to hear that free radicals perform a necessary function in the body, but when there are not enough antioxidants to balance the free radicals then they can cause damage to the DNA. This type of DNA damage is one of the reasons the body ages.

Inflammation

Another health concern that can be caused by an imbalance within the body is chronic inflammation, which is connected with a large number of health problems. Arthritis, heart disease and cancer are all linked to chronic inflammation. Studies have shown that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories can provide temporary relief for chronic inflammation, but they are not an effective treatment over the long term. Prolonged daily use can actually cause liver and kidney problems.

Chronic inflammation can be treated naturally by incorporating specific vegetables, fruits, fish and other naturally healthy foods into the diet. Fast food and other foods that are high in fats, and trans-fats in particular, cause inflammation. Some natural substances that can prevent and reduce inflammation include flavonoids, carnosine, alpha lipoic acid, turmeric, resveratrol and glutathione.

For all the reasons just discussed, numerous researchers, doctors and other health experts have recommended increased intake of natural anti-inflammatories and antioxidants, either through the diet or through supplementation.

Most people have heard of inflammation and free radical damage. Even manufacturers of cheap supplements advertise the antioxidant content in their products, but they primarily use the vitamins A, C and E, which are necessary, but not the most effective against free radical damage.

Most people have NOT heard about glycation or methylation, because to balance these bodily functions, you need unique supplements that are not found in your daily multi-vitamins.

Glycation

Glycation can be even more hazardous to your health than free radicals. Glycation is a complex process, but in essence, it causes interference in your body's ability to obtain the amino acids it needs from the protein-rich foods in your diet.

During digestion, protein-rich foods are broken down into smaller molecules called amino acids. The body then uses the amino acids to form new types of proteins needed to create cells, tendons, ligaments fibers, cartilage, joints and bones. When substances causing glycation, which are mainly sugars and simple carbohydrates, disrupt this process, then the construction of new cells slows.

The end result is muscle weakness, pain, tiredness and through time chronic disease. Just as antioxidants can act as a counterbalance to free radicals, an amino acid complex called carnosine can prevent glycation. As an added bonus, carnosine is an effective anti-aging treatment.

Methylation

Methylation is complex biochemical process that is roughly the reverse of glycation. Methylation is vital to life and it must be operating at optimal levels, or serious health problems like heart disease, depression, high cholesterol and liver disease may develop.

While we want to inhibit glycation, we want to encourage methylation, which normally slows down as we age. Methylation does not always occur at optimal levels, due to malnourishment or disease. The body needs the B-vitamins, Tri-Methyl-Glycine (TMG), folic acid and a unique nutrient known as SAM-e to restore any imbalances in methylation caused by aging and disease. Sam-e is very important to the methylation process.

You will see SAM-e supplements sold in drugstores alongside your multi-vitamins. They are often recommended as natural anti-depressants, but they are hardly ever effective for two reasons. B-vitamins must be present in adequate amounts or the body cannot use it. An enteric coating must be included on the tablet or the stomach acid will negatively affect the body's ability to absorb it.

Enteric Coating

The enteric coating is a critical element in any supplement containing Sam-e, because it will allow the supplement to pass through the stomach acid and into the small intestine where it can be efficiently broken down and absorbed into the bloodstream.

Your daily multi-vitamin probably contains B-vitamins and some antioxidants, but it is unlikely to have an enteric coating because it is expensive to add. Most vitamin manufacturers also leave out the most natural antioxidants like: flavonoids, turmeric, alpha lipoic acid, resveratrol, glutathione, carnosine, SAM-e and TMG.

The importance of ingredients like SAM-e, carnosine, resveratrol and TMG are not well advertised, because they are expensive substances which most vitamin manufacturers don't use to cut costs. There is a pharmaceutical company about to release a line of resveratrol supplements, but they are calling them prescription drugs. Many people who follow research studies on unique nutritional supplements have been taking resveratrol for years and will continue to do so without paying the prices that pharmaceutical companies charge.

Synthetic or Natural?

The problem with your typical multi-vitamin (other than a lack of the right ingredients and an enteric coating to protect those that are sensitive to stomach acid) is that most manufacturers use synthetic vitamins in place of natural substances. Synthetic vitamins are "similar" to those found in nature, but they are not "identical" and do not provide the same health benefits because they are more difficult for the body to absorb.

There is an excellent example in recent studies done on vitamin E. There are many studies showing the health benefits of vitamin E. It is good for tissue repair, for improved circulation, for the prevention of free radical damage, to reduce inflammation and the risk of cancer. But when these same researchers attempted to duplicate the results with a synthetic form of vitamin E, it did not provide the same health benefits. They found that synthetic vitamin E may actually be bad for your health because it is derived from petrochemicals.

The point is that most vitamin companies do not use the correct (natural) form of a nutrient and they do not use the correct delivery system, which is almost always a tablet with an enteric coating.

Here is the good news. Through years of research and sheer determination to find a product that would provide everything mentioned above, I have found one nutritional supplement providing everything we have discussed.

To get every nutrient we have discussed on above as well as the following nutrients listed below, like:

Vitamin D
Minerals, including magnesium, calcium, zinc and potassium
Trace elements, including molybdenum and iodine
Carotenoids, (A-vitamins in vegetable forms)
Enzymes, including lipase and amylase
Other amino acids, including ATP, lysine, arginine, taurine and proline
Herbal extracts including ginkgo biloba and green tea

You could spend hundreds of dollars or more per month, taking a handful of pills every day. Or, you can do what I do and take Xtend-Life’s Total Balance Supplement. Taking the recommended dosage costs $54.95 per month, and you get 76 different bio-active ingredients, every day. It contains all of the vitamins and minerals that your body needs to function effectively. There is no better value for the money. The company guarantees it and I believe it to be true.

Believe me. I have spent years buying this health supplement and that one, only to throw them away or push them to the back of the cabinet. They were completely ineffective, and some of them, without an enteric coating, would even make my stomach sick until I stopped taking them. Don't continue to waste your money on nutritional supplements that do not provide the nutrients your body needs.

Now is the time to stop wasting your money, to choose a healthier life, and possibly even extend your lifespan. Visit the Xtendlife website to learn more about each of the 76 natural ingredients in more detail. It is not an overstatement to say that it could be the best thing you ever do for your health.
