Mindfulness 0f AGING

    I’m reading this book presently titled:  20 Years Younger by Bob Greene, in it he states,  “like all theories about the causes of  aging  and the oxidative stress theory… is it  just a theory.”  We can not decipher for sure if  unbound free radicals are the main cause of  aging,  however,  we  do  know  that  free radicals can cause oxidative damage.    http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=oxidative+stress+theory&sm=12

   More specifically,  damaging a cell’s DNA,  oxidative stress can certainly age your body, decrease your quality of life and even shorten your life span. Also  by  damaging  a  cell’s  DNA,  oxidative  stress  can  be  the  first  step  to  transforming a healthy cell into a cancer cell. In addition to oxidative stress inflammation has also been implicated  in aging because of  the role it plays in so many age – related diseases.

    Inflammation caused  by excessive body – fat  may  also be related to the shrinkage of the brain and also memory lost while increasing your risk  for  Alzheimer’s disease.  With another disadvantage of  obesity affecting aging by contributing to insulin resistance,  whereas, insulin resistance shortens your life span  and hastens aging in a number of  ways.  It  also encourages inflammation, quashes sirtuin activity, shortens telemores and raise levels of  Advanced Glycation End Products.   http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=advanced+glycation+end+products&sm=1

    Besides obesity:  an over – abundance  of  intra – abdominal  fat — stored   fat that surrounds your organs making them less efficient. A diet that’s high in sweets,  soda’s and other sweet drinks,  white bread,  white rice and other processed  grains  seems  to promote insulin resistance.  Therefore,  you can starve  off  aging  by  simply  following  the traditional diets of  people living in Mediterranean countries, islands of  Japan  and habitants of  the Ryukyu Islands (Okinawa  1 of  only 161 island in the string off  the coast of  Japan.) search_query=mediterranean+longevity+and+health&sm=12 search_query=okinawan+longevity+and+health&sm=1

     Furthermore,  the  Portfolio  Diet  is  virtually  a vegan diet,  contains a   judicious consumption of animal  food keeping saturated  fat at a minimum with sodium  and  sugars in moderation  and  lots  of  fruits  and  vegetables. While partaking in daily exercise,  which  prevents  deterioration of  muscle and bone;  keeping age related diseases in check,  while reducing likelihood of  middle age spread.  http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=portfolio+diet+longevity+and+health&sm=12

   Physical activity that accelerates  your breathing  and makes your heart   work harder for a continuous and extended period of  time will significantly improve your cardiovascular system.  As well lower levels of  inflammatory protein called  C – reactive protein  (CRP),  whereas, these levels increase as we age.  Making us more prone to developing inflammatory related disease as we get older.        https://www.google.com/webhp?exercise+and+your+risk+for+cancer+video&undefined=undefined     

  While exercising reduces the levels of  a protein called  pro – inflammatory cytokines  and increases levels of an anti – inflammatory  form of cytokines. In a round about way, exercise  may – also  rid the body of  inflammation by decreasing body fat. Whereby, body fat actually produces pro inflammatory cytokines  that  causes inflammation  and  it’s this inflammation over – time  that cause health problems.   https://www.google.com/webhp?chronic+inflammation+and+cancer+risk+videos&undefined=undefined

   Whereas,  exercise has it’s own effects on aging, such as reducing the risk   for chronic disease.  Caloric restriction also reduces insulin sensitivity while slowing metabolism which starves off  aging and  with increase of  vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients creates better health. Though age can help you become more certain  about your character,  individuality,  spirituality and  self – perception.   http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=caloric+restriction+and+good+health&sm=12

   In 1979,  the psychologist Ellen Langer,  devised an experiment called the Counterclockwise  Study.  Which  involved  two  groups  of  elderly men  and the  first group was told to go back into time 20 years  and  think as they did in that time  frame.  While the second group:  was told  to stay in the present time and live as they would  in a missionary like the  first group  for just one week. You would be astonished to learn that group one,  besides by not only acting younger,  they also started to look younger in just one week.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8oAlPW86aw

   With  an  American  Atheist  Party  becoming  stronger  each  day,  whom promotes intolerance of  those with religious beliefs  (making  them  pay  for others  abortions) ethnic division  while  impeding  social progress. Without proper  respect  for  life,  why  in  hell…. do  they  have  anothers  end  of  life decision.  For  those  in  the  end…. you have to come to terms with your own  endearment…. why does a non believer…. have the power of  that decision? While those in business  don’t recognize  the Sabbath  for what it is  and this website  occurred  though  belief  in  GOD the Almighty Greater Than Earth! http://www.nyscatholic.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/End-of-Life-booklet-final.pdf              https://www.drvc.org/respectlife

    As  More n’  More  American’s  Won’t Recognize The Sabbath  and The United States  Moves Toward A Third World Country Maybe American’s Should RENEW Their FAITH?

   What constitutes an “excessive burden” when our leaders in Washington D.C.  never thinks anything through.  When treatment prolongs the natural dieing  process, “why”  does  politicians with beliefs  in killing babies with a  soul…. have the right to make others decisions.  While  making  decisions  to accept  or refuse treatment, taking into consideration the type of  treatment varies accordingly (the risk ~ reward, it’s cost, how painful with side effects and  likelihood  treatment  will maintain  or enhance life of  the patient with limited  medical  resources  which  should  be  also considered throughout!)  http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/cross-my-heart-free-preview-the-first-14-chapters-james-patterson/1116763593?ean=9780316324632
