None of us want to get old. In our modern youth orientated society there are no rewards for getting old especially if it is before your time. Staying as youthful as possible is big business with anti-aging treatments and surgery all promising to wipe some of the years away so we can keep up with our fast paced ever changing world. Our modern society dictates that we must remain 'youthful' to even be allowed on the playing field and those who do not measure up are quickly relegated to the back benches to watch the world go by. That very word aging, or maybe it is the process that it implies is why many people seek anything that will put the brakes on it. Although our actual age is a factor we may ask ourselves a few very important questions such as "How do I look? How do I feel? How well do I function?" Now-a-days we have a greater understanding of the aging process which primarily the result of a disturbance in metabolism (the body's engine). Our metabolism is the term for the way our body cells chemically change the food we eat into energy or if not utilized that energy is sent to fat storage depots. The speed at which we age, how well we function or whether we remain healthy and well or succumb to disease can only come from two main directions of metabolism. There are the anabolic 'growth and repair' activities that build or the catabolic or breakdown of the bodies cells and tissues. Widespread tissue destruction can occur when harsh dieting methods are used, muscle and bone is lost through inactivity or degeneration in overall health which sends one on a downward spiral of accelerated aging. The slow insidious process of degeneration may take many years before it is noticed. Many people experiencing negative symptoms mistakenly think it is just part of the aging process but it is really our modern inactive and sedentary lifestyles catching up with us. The really good news is that it is now achievable to improve almost every aspect of the human body as it ages. Muscle tissue loss can be halted and even reclaimed, bone mass strengthened, memory improved, healing time sped up, organ function enhanced and a youthful appearance regained - by making changes to your metabolism and body chemistry. It is so much better to manage and improve the underlying primary causes of aging rather than taking each symptom as it appears and expecting some drug or doctor to make it go away. We now know that the single most common factor in long-lived healthy people is the condition of their muscular system. This means that their metabolism is more anabolic and in constant 'growth and repair mode, as well as that their lifestyle is physically active. When the human body is given vigorous movement or 'work' it tells the body to keep the 'growth and repair' hormones coming as this body needs to stay strong. These hormones improve signals to the brain so it does not go into 'shut-down' mode or stops this process is it is already in progress. By changing the metabolism with proper exercise that works the muscles directly new stronger and healthier cells and tissues replace old worn old damaged ones. Shifting the body's metabolism to be more anabolic means total rejuvenation which tells the body to maintain or restore vigor, muscle tone and strength, immunity and major organ function. Maximum youthfulness and longevity can be obtained when we realign our metabolism. All it takes it to give our body what it is designed for - vigorous physical activity and plenty of it.
