Slowing Down the Aging Process

Activity Keeps You Young

When your doctor is unable to find a reason for the cause of your ailment or discomfort, the doctor may consider the problem as being "all in your head." In a sense most ailments are, if you consider that your mental state greatly influences your physical condition.

Your thoughts have such a strong effect upon your body that they can powerfully contribute to the aging process.

Aging is a disturbing and confusing issue that concerns all of us. When our thoughts, fears and stress are out of control our bodies suffer from the resultant negative impact. What complicates matters is that the mind doesn't just exist within the brain; it is present in the form of DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) within every cell of the body.

DNA is a master processor of information for the entire body and therefore stresses and strong emotions have a bearing upon this processing. DNA is a force in nature that does not age or perish, and its mysteries may hold key answers about the aging process.

Slowing Down the Aging Process

DNA is indestructible; therefore, why should aging take place? By thinking of ourselves as only physical beings, we will continue to age because our mind reinforces physical limitations. We associate our identity or existence to the physical body which ages. However, a human being's essence is energy. Physicists have determined energy to be the basis of matter which comprises our bodies and all things physical.

The tremendous power that negative thoughts have over a physical body invites aging. To lessen the impact of the aging process, it is important that we attempt to keep our thoughts under control. Studies prove that consistent calmness for a few minutes per day can add years to a person's life.

Peaceful contemplation, meditation, or prayer allows the body to be still and the mind to slow down; this facilitates the release of DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) from your adrenal glands.

Calming Your Mind Increases Your DHEA Levels

DHEA, a steroid hormone released by the adrenal glands that may be related to longevity, holds great potential in retarding the aging process. It is a naturally occurring hormone that measures its highest in people who are in their mid-twenties. There is a continuous decline of DHEA to approximately 5% in a person's early seventies.

DHEA occurs at higher levels for those people who choose to focus and relax their minds while eliminating disturbing thoughts during this process. Scientific research of these individuals has proven decreased rates of diseases such as arthritis, diabetes, cancer, and especially those diseases affecting the heart.

As you age, you begin to notice a loss of skin elasticity. Over time, wrinkles, frown lines, and smile creases become more deeply etched into your face. Also, you may find that your eyesight and hearing are declining while bulges and sags begin to appear.

Most people rely on pharmaceutical medication to relieve the aches and pains of deteriorating health. However, drugs merely relieve symptoms and do not mend the root of the problem. For every illness there is a root cause; knowing why you become sick is the first step toward a cure.

Toxicity: Root Cause of Illness and Aging

Discovering the root cause of a problem accomplishes true healing. The root of illness is due to blockages withinin the body. Blockages occur from internal pollution that is mostly due to toxic foods such as refined white sugar, refined white flour, cow's dairy products, artificial additives, and preservatives that lead to premature aging and illness.

Life flourishes in a clean, toxin-free environment. Your body is a natural organism that is sustained from energy providing enzymes, and it flourishes with cleansing foods (organic when possible) such as whole grains, vegetables, and fruit. However, you cannot begin to help your body until you make beneficial attitude and eating changes.

As your mind suffers, your cells suffer too, because the mind stores events in each cell's memory. If you could avoid or erase every upsetting or unpleasant event, you could substantially slow your aging process. Worn and toxic cells are apparent in an aging body. The amount of these cells determine your body's biological age.

Youthful health is apparent in people of all ages who radiate the energy that empowers a strong sense of wellness. When people look to natural ways of calming their minds and eating in a healthy manner, they help to protect, repair, and hinder their cells from absorbing toxins so that they usually act and feel younger than those whose bodies whose cells are overburdened with toxicity.

The body's cells have a connection with memory. Remembered, stressful experiences also causes wear on the cells.

Calm Your Mind to Calm Your Body

Focused, mental calmness is the initial step to protect cells from the ravages of stress and aging. Consuming natural foods and beverages is the next step that enables the cells to maintain their integrity, strength, and durability. By using a deep cleansing supplementation program, the cells' circuitry will retard the aging process.

Since we all choose to nourish our bodies and minds differently, our physical conditions and appearances will vary greatly at the same chronological age. This also affects the development of so-called diseases we anticipate with the aging process.

If you desire to feel younger and healthier, your mind will assist you. The mind provides you with intuitive knowledge about whether you are helping or harming yourself with your lifestyle and eating choices. It is a powerful tool with vast capabilities of healing.

The mind electromagnetically instructs every cell; it is a master healer. Your chronological age is unalterable - but your biological age is determined by how you live your life.
