work in the skin care field has evolved naturally to dealing with all aspects of anti-aging medicine. In this series for us Mark shares state-of-the-art information with you that will help you stay young and healthy.
In this five part series we will closely look at how Nutrition & Nutraceuticals, Exercise, Water -Sleep- Hormone Replacement Therapy - and the Ultimate Anti Aging Goal Brain Preservation truly can help us lead healthier and happier lives.

Creating the internal balance that retards the aging process touches many areas that include:
- A nutritious eating plan and nutritional supplements
- Regular exercise
- Adequate hydration
- Enough deep sleep
- Hormone replacement therapy
- Cerebral antioxidation and neural stimulation
When you have internal balance, you will feel better physically and emotionally, which will give you the strength to deal with life effectively and avoid ill health, depression, obesity, and many other physical problems.
Creating this internal balance may mean making some real lifestyle changes for you. We understand that this may take some time and effort. But, if you understand the benefits and set your mind to making the necessary changes, you will — and the rewards for you will be enormous.

Nutrition and Nutraceuticals
Let's start our series with Number 1 on the list — nutrition.
The food you eat is the fuel that powers your body/mind.
High quality food in the quantities that your body needs gives your cells the fuel they require for optimal performance. Imagine trying to drive your car using very low octane gas that has all sorts of extra chemicals in it that your car can't use. Your car wouldn't last very long.
The same thing happens in your body. Cells given the wrong fuel over a long period of time will break down and can't reproduce properly. You can actually define your state of health with the nutrition choices you make.

There are three things to consider when evaluating your fuel.
1. Your food choices.
It has become common knowledge that fresh, whole foods provide the fuel your body needs. Fresh, colorful vegetables and fruit such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, cabbage, tomatoes, peppers, squash, apples, oranges, berries and many others provide your cells with nutrients that help them thrive.
What we recommend is known as a low glycemic diet, which is one that eliminates foods that are full of easy-to-digest carbohydrates or refined sugar products.
A glycemic index has been developed that indicates how quickly specific foods affect blood sugar. Refined sugar has the most rapid effect and has an index number of 100. Broccoli, on the other hand, is 30 and chicken is 25. We recommend that you choose foods in the low to moderate range and eliminate all refined carbohydrates, such as white flour, pastries, and "junk foods."
So, what we recommend is a high protein, low fat, high fiber, moderate complex carbohydrate (vegetables) eating plan

2. How much food you choose to eat.
Your body only needs 1500 to 2000 calories a day, depending on your size and activity levels. When you eat more than you need, you gain weight and stress your body systems.
There is a theory that is prevalent in anti-aging circles that eating fewer calories than you need, combined with excellent nutrition, leads to fewer cellular reactions that stimulate aging. We have done a lot of research in this area and have seen that a daily intake of 1200 to 1500 calories a day, along with specific nutritional supplements that allow for balanced nutrition, immune system stimulation and antioxidation, which we will explain in a moment, will contribute to a longer, healthier life.
3. The Supplements you use.
Because modern lives are high stress and the food we eat is often produced in mineral-deficient soil, most people need — and thrive with — added nutrients in the form of supplements. We have spent many years studying and evaluating many kinds of supplements.

Gobble Up Those Free-Radicals!
Free radicals are now considered one of the main causes of aging. A free radical is a molecule that has either an excess or deficiency of an electron. When free radicals come close to cell membranes, chemical reactions occur that damage cell membranes and make them "leaky." Leaky membranes result in cellular damage and destruction of DNA. This causes mutations and cellular death.
Antioxidants neutralize free radicals, which is why they are considered so powerful in the anti-aging arsenal. Antioxidants that you are probably familiar with include Vitamin C, Vitamin E and Co-Q 10. In the work we do, a variety of antioxidants are combined, each of which has a different effect on cells.
Some Suggestions for You
Here's what we suggest that you do if you are serious about reversing the aging process.
Anti Aging Skin Care Solutions Nutrition and Nutraceuticals Do's:
1. Eat fresh, whole foods including: Fresh protein: deep water fish, such as cod, salmon, sea bass and halibut, chicken, turkey and lean beef in small quantities. Fresh vegetables and fruit. Whole grains such as wild rice, brown rice, barley and soy products. Well-cooked oatmeal is also acceptable.
2. Limit your calorie intake to 1200 to 1500 calories a day, but you don't have to count calories. Just eat fresh whole foods and you will find yourself self-regulating.
3. Use high-quality nutraceuticals (supplements), such as those listed at the end of this article.
4. Drink plenty of water — at least six to eight glasses (8 oz.) a day. Distilled water is recommended, especially when activated with Microhydrin and Coral calcium Gold. Adequate hydration is important, if you want to keep your skin looking young. (Microhydrin (crystal energy) is the most powerful antioxidant on the planet — it absorbs more free radicals than any other product. Coral calcium Gold alkalinizes body pH for optimal acid base reactions and function.)

This is the ESSENCE of the low Glycemic Diet
1. Eliminate bread, pasta, potatoes, deserts, canned drinks and sugar.
2. Never eat anything packaged or processed by humans in a cellophane wrapper (lunch meats, chips, pretzels, processed foods, cheese spreads, etc.)
3. Avoid fad diets.
Anti Aging Skin Care Solutions Nutrition and Nutraceuticals Be easy on yourself as you make lifestyle changes, and don't try to do everything at once. Set a goal and, each day, take small steps towards that goal, knowing that you'll be giving yourself the gift of a longer healthy life.
