Corn Syrup

The first major ager is represented by corn syrup which contains a high level of fructose. This syrup is used as a replacement for sweeteners. In fact, this is a type of sugar that is mixed with corn syrup. The obtained result is a cheap sweetener that unfortunately is used by many companies. This ingredient can damage the functions of our liver, because the liver transforms it into bad fat. This ingredient also raise up the blood sugar levels and that’s why right immediately after you consume foods made of this ingredient you feel hungry again. You should try to avoid sodas, dressings and baked foods and you should also read the label of a product before you purchase it. Trans fats are also doing harm to your health, so you should try to avoid them. They raise the level of your cholesterol and they can cause heart disease.

Smoking

The most important thing that you should try to avoid is smoking. It is very important that if you decide to stop smoking, to clean your house and to clean each piece of furniture that you have in order to eliminate the bad smell.
I’m sure that you didn’t know until now that chlorine bleach can affect your health. It can irritate your eyes, throat and skin. You can easily replace it with white vinegar. Insecticides are other substances that can harm our health and that can erase some important years from our lives. Instead of using insecticides you can use natural solutions made of lemon juice or lavender. In this way you will be able to keep mosquitoes far away from your home.

Too much alcohol (more than 1 glass per day)

If you regularly drink alcohol, you should eliminate it from your habits. Alcoholic drinks can damage your liver and they can also cause cancer. The only alcoholic drink that is recommended by Dr. Oz is the red wine. Every one should have a glass of red wine a day. You should also avoid moth balls that you can replace with lavender sachets. Fragrance candles and air fresheners started to gain more and more ground, but what people don’t know is that these products put their lives in danger. If you keep your house clean, you will not need a product like this. Try to avoid as much as you can toluene. This is a substance that can be found in paraffin candles and it can affect your nervous system.
If until now you used to use laundry detergents and cleaners which are having NPE written on their labels, you should know that you can replace them with natural cleansers.

If you are interested in Dr. Oz’s anti aging secrets, he presented some tips on Oprah’s TV show for all people that want to reverse aging. Of course, the most important parts of this program it’s based on a diet and on physical exercises. But you will also have to change your lifestyle habits if you want to fight against aging process. Don’t think that it will be easy for you to do that, because you will have to work very hard to stay in shape. Be careful with the foods that you choose to consume, with the physical exercises that you are making. There are also other important things that help you fight against aging such as meditation, sleep and sex and vitamins.

Anti-Oxidants

I will tell you what foods you should have in your refrigerator. First, you will have to choose foods with a considerable quantity of antioxidants. This substance will help foods to maintain fresh for a long period of time, because it prevents damage that can occur during the process in which foods pass through oxidation. Blueberries are very rich in antioxidants and usually, dark colored foods are rich in this substance. Those who want to stay in shape have to eat at least five types of foods that contain antioxidants. When it comes about vegetables that can keep you in shape, Dr. Oz recommends broccoli, because this vegetable will not only help you to do that, but it will also prevent different types of cancer. Another antioxidant can be found in tomatoes that are heated up using a small quantity of oil, because in this way your organism will deliver lycopene, one of the most important antioxidants. Dr. Oz also recommends products that are made of acai berry, a fruit harvested in Brazil and that can be found at every market.
White Tea, but also Green Tea is recommended by Dr. Oz who says that people should drink at least 4 cups each day. If you like to drink red wine, this is the best thing that can happen to you, because red wine is recommended in anti aging process. This type of wine prevents your cells from aging.

Cinammon, Ginger, Pepper

Other anti aging secret is represented by spices. For example, cinnamon decreases blood sugar levels and it also helps you to control your cholesterol levels. Cinnamon should be used by all those people that have type 2 of diabetes. Ginger has the same properties as cinnamon, but it also decreases blood pressure, which means that you will avoid problems like arthritis. Blood pressure is also reduced by Cayenne Pepper. Take in consideration that it’s not so important if you decide to consume fresh or dried spices, because Dr. Oz said that they have almost the same effects.

Dr. Oz Exercises

In Dr. Oz’s book you will find some benefic exercises that will help you build considerable muscle mass. In this way you will replace fat from your body with muscles. On Oprah Winfrey’s TV show he made a short demonstration of different physical exercises that anyone can do inside their homes. Other anti aging secret that you should not forget about is to check your heart rate at least three times a week, right after you made physical exercises.

For me, Acai and Resveratrol are two very good choices. They stand out from the crowd due to their great ORAC values and the massive amount of anti-oxidants.

On our “mission” to conquer free radicals acai and resveratrol can help us naturally and risk-free.

Acai, pronounced ah-sah-ee, has many health benefits

If you want to

• improve your blood pressure,
• add a high-fiber extract to your diet plan,
• sleep long and healthy,
• increase your energy levels,
• cleanse and detoxify your body,
• improve your digestive system,
• decrease cholesterol levels,
• minimize inflammations effects (acne inflammation for example),
• prevent diseases,
• strengthen your immunity system,
• soften  your skin
• lose weight

then Acai is a great health supplement.

Resveratrol Health Benefits

• increase your metabolism,
• improve your mood,
• increase your lifespan,
• prevent various diseases (cardio-vascular related, diabetes, cancer, alzheimer, ..),
• significant anti-inflammatory effects,
• improve your endurance and athletic performance,
• decreased appetite

One person reported to me that Resveratrol also gave her skin a healthier glow. So healthy that some people asked her if she had used botox. However, some results vary from person to person, that’s why it’s always good to try out a couple different supplements.

Where to buy ResVerse?

Warning: ResVerse and many other related products may be continuity offers, which means they charge you a fat bill even for ordering a trial. We do not recommend such products.

Smoothies can be a great addition to any diet to get your daily intake of vitamins and fiber.

On the site www.realage.com Dr. Oz and Dr. Roizen put together a site with a lot more diet tips and the real age test.

There is no so called secret to weight loss, it’s actually quite simple if you eat the right things.

Stress can also be a major factor, both for aging and weight gain. If you can avoid stress that’s a big plus and will help you to stay young.

It is a strict diet that only few people actually can do.

The Dr. Oz diet includes a lot of raw foods, fruits, veggies and nuts. When done correctly, you can slower the aging process and add many years to your life. Zed put it this way: When you are on a calorie-restriction diet your body gets really efficient and your body activates a gene called sirtris. This gene can help you to live longer.

To lose a lot of weight, fasting and raw food might be great, but would you want to live like that forever? Actually, I believe this diet won’t work for the majority of all Americans and it would be a pretty expensive diet too. Eating only organic foods can be costly.

Luckily, science can help us. Resveratrol, a natural compound found in red wine, also activates the gene sirtris. Why would you stay on a calorie-restrictive diet if you can take Resveratrol? In certain tests it helped animals to live up to 56% longer. That’s not everything, it also has a lot of other health benefits: It can increase your energy and metabolism, improve your mood and endurance and help you to lose weight. Resveratrol is *the* wonder pill of 2009. Actually, it has been discovered years ago. I even read an article about it back in 1998! It only became so popular when David Sinclair promoted his discovery on TV (CBS, 60 minutes, etc). Sinclair’s company has been bought for $720 million. Do you think anyone would spend that much money if Resveratrol wasn’t a really important discovery? Resveratrol might change our future!

Meditation can stimulate your sinuses to release gases that will help your body to relax. That’s why a very effective treatment for sinusitis is humming. It will dilate your blood vessels effectively and as good as antibiotics. The gas that is produced is called nitric oxide. Inflammation causes an increase of nitric oxide as well and is your natural answer to sinusitis.

On this website: http://www.yogabasics.com/yoga-postures.html you will find many meditation yoga poses that will allow you to meditate effectively.

Those chemicals keep us going and make us stay young. Therefore it is recommended that lack of sex and sleep should be avoided.

Sleep plays a critical role too. To keep our vitality sleep is very essential, because that’s simply how we recharge our energy. Lack of sleep can make you age dramatically faster.

On Wikipedia I found an interesting statement that two things should be fulfilled when you sleep:

The optimal amount of sleep is not a meaningful concept unless the timing of that sleep is seen in relation to an individual’s circadian rhythms. A person’s major sleep episode is relatively inefficient and inadequate when it occurs at the “wrong” time of day; one should be asleep at least six hours before the lowest body temperature. The timing is correct when the following two circadian markers occur after the middle of the sleep episode and before awakening.

• maximum concentration of the hormone melatonin, and
• minimum core body temperature.

Dr. Oz also recommended to floss your teeth before going to bed.  He says that it might cause gingivitis and irritation of the gums if you don’t. Oral health can also prevent cardio-vascular related diseases.

A harvard study about the French Paradox revealed a compound called “Resveratrol” that has been found in red wine, chocolate and other foods and even plants, that can help us stop the aging process of our cells. Resveratrol is activating a gene called sirtris.

Trivia: The people that discovered resveratrol called their company “sirtris”. By now it has been bought by GlaxoSmith Kline for about 720 million US-dollar. A nice sum for one of the most important discoveries since antibiotics.

Dr. Oz says if you don’t want to drink red wine to get your daily dose of resveratrol, you should get it from other sources like Concord grape juice or other dark grape juices.

However, Dr. Oz got some facts messed up. According to the harvard study you would have to drink 1000 bottles of wine per day to benefit from the resveratrol in it. Unthinkable. Instead you can get resveratrol pills. Resveratrol is being extracted from japanese knotweed. They usually sell small pills between 100 mg and 500 mg of trans-resveratrol.

Red Wine Resveratrol

Sidenote: Coffee has a lot benefits too. Caffeine is being used to treat Alzheimer for example.

Aside from green tea, there is white tea. It is extracted of the same plant as green tea, but in a different way.

Also Dr. Oz’s Green Drink is a great source of antioxidants.

Here’s the recipe for Dr. Oz’s Green Drink:

• 2 apples, cored

• 1 thumbnail length of ginger root, peeled
• 1 lemon - juice only (use peel slice for zest)

• 1 celery stick, chopped

• 2 big handfuls of spinach

• 1 medium cucumber

• 1/2 cup of chopped parsley

On Dr. Oz’s Anti-Aging food list you will also find sweet potatoes, broccoli and heated tomatoes with a little oil.

Two popular anti-aging foods are acai berry and maqui berry. They have more anti-oxidants than blueberries and help you to cleanse your body.

Dr. Oz recommends to eat at least five servings of foods with a high amount of anti-oxidants to stay young.
