Medicine for a Young Old Age

By by Anju Mathur, MD

Since everyone is going to eventually get older, why not succumb to it without a fuss? In truth, there is something you can do about it. You may still grow old in years, but many of the ravages of old age are avoidable.

We invite you to consider that time affects us all and that the choice between graceful and productive older years or a period of slow decay and deterioration is within our reach. It is truly up to us to make that decision.

Preventing deterioriation is certainly wiser and cheaper than trying to cure age related disease after it has already taken hold. You?ve heard the maxim that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. In this case it is certainly true.

A realistic goal is not to prolong life to some unrealistic advanced age, but to promote successful aging ? staying healthy and functional up to the end of a long, productive life. Utilization of safe, effective therapies that address the underlying mechanisms of aging, e.g. natural hormone replacement, and specific dietary and exercise recommendations are a good foundation to an anti-aging program.

Degenerative diseases can be stopped or reversed with correct eating habits, the addition of hormones and nutritional supplements and exercise

The usual symptoms of old age such as tiredness, frailness, weight gain and loss of memory, etc., can be reduced and controlled and even reversed by these methods. But additionally, diseases that are sometimes brought on by old age such as diabetes, heart disease and cancer can also be controlled or reduced.

The most important part of a program of rejuvenation would be replacement of the natural hormones that decline with age. The program would include detoxification of the body, testing and determination of what supplements the body needs and a doable diet for that particular type of body. Environment also plays a role and one would be urged to avoid environmental and personal toxins and lead an ecological life style.

Prevention is now both programmable and attainable. You can join the anti-aging program and chart a new course for health, rejuvenation and effective anti-aging.
