Want To Live 25yrs Longer?




Aging seems to be the buzz word lately, for a very good reason. It affects all of us. I remember when I turned 30 years of age I was in shock. I began a regimen of eating better, exercising to excess and at the ripe old age of 40 I was in the best physical shape since I was 20. Here's what really got my attention. I was 50 years old watching a PBS special that had a lasting effect on me to this day. I learned a lot about the aging process. I found out that the human body is growing and consistently building new cells through puberty, until around the age of 20.

At this age, your body continues to produce cells as it does through the rest of your life. There is one critical exception. Once you get to the age of 20, your cells structure in your body begin to deteriorate.

This deterioration is not noticeable to most people unless you have a skin condition or extreme exposure to the sun. Unfortunately, time continues to march on. The process of aging is well underway in your 30's and this continues throughout your life. The effects of aging just become more and more apparent once you hit age 30.

There are 4 ways that aging affects our cell reproduction. Without writing a scientific journal, it all has all has to do with the health of the cell is after it divides. Our cells divide so they can reproduce themselves and we can stay alive. After many rounds of division, our cell structures become weakened. The health of our cells simply declines over the years, and the breakdown is accelerated with our body being bombarded with toxins from everywhere.

The aging process is going to occur. That is a fact of nature, but there are things that can be done to counteract it. After 10 years of research and study, scientists and sociologists began making a connection to the over all youthful appearance of groups of people mainly from Europe who drank red wine for most of their lives. The scientific community began to study the people and the linkage to red wine. The research produced startling results.
