Stop aging

We have without our reach all of the necessary ingredients to be able to avoid aging prematurely, maintain our energy and vitality and improve our immune system, memory and sex life.

Don’t waste the best years of your life!

We are surprised with the advances in the world today, everyday thanks to modern inventions; our everyday lives are easier and more comfortable.  Machines free us from hard labor, cars and planes allow us to travel quickly, and computers help us achieve in seconds what used to take hours to do.

However, progress has also posed serious risks to our health.  Toxins in the environment – ozone, ultraviolet rays, cigarette smoke and consumption of smoked foods have increased the oxidation of our cells and accelerated the aging process.

Sickness and death statistics have varied.  Just 60 years ago the major causes of death in our country were infections, such as measles and tuberculosis.  Now, sicknesses from growing older are the primary cause of death.  One out of every two people will die from circulatory problems, one in four from some type of cancer.

What can we do to regain our youth and have a healthy and productive life?

A good diet and consumption of antioxidants can show the aging process and help us maintain our youth.

VITAMIN E: If we consume the recommended amount of vitamin E we can avoid oxidation of fats in our arteries and thinning blood, reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases.  Additionally, it will increase circulation in our brains, helping concentration and memory.  Vitamin E is found in vegetable oils, such as corn oil and olive oil.  It is also found in seeds and nuts, such as walnuts, almonds, peanuts and sunflower seeds.  It is recommended to consumer 400 mg of vitamin E a day.

VITAMN C: We have all seen how apple slices oxidize and turn brown with contact to the air; we also oxidize over time.  If we consumer the adequate amount of vitamin C we can increase our defenses and avoid oxidation of our cellular membranes, preventing a number of diseases.  Vitamin C also helps in the formation of collagen in our skin, which helps us keep looking young.

It is recommended to consume 1 gram of vitamin C a day.  It can be found in citrus fruits, such as organs, grapefruits, guava, pineapple, as well as chili and cabbage. 

BETA-CAROTENE: Beta-carotene protects skin from the effects of ultraviolet rays, lowering the risk of skin cancer and wrinkled skin.  It can be found in dark leafy vegetables, such as kale and spinach, as well as in red and yellow vegetables, such as carrots, beets and tomatoes.

To obtain the necessary quantity of beta-carotene it is recommended to consume 3 cups of raw vegetables a day.  They can be dressed with olive oil, lemon and vinegar, adding walnuts, almonds, avocado and sunflower seeds.
