skin“How You Can Stay Young
Inside Out”
Dear Visitor,
Aging is an equal-opportunity destroyer — but its effects on your mind and body can be delayed or slowed down.
You can slow down the aging process…
…by taking good care of yourself from the inside out.
Maintain a healthy level of both mental and physical activity. Watch what you put into your body. Respond to the signals your body sends you.
We know that’s a lot to ask — your hectic lifestyle can make it difficult to find time for yourself. Yet, there are some simple things you can do.
You can remain mentally strong and alert…
…by learning something new and keeping your brain active every day.
Read challenging books and magazines, solve crossword puzzles, take classes, play chess, engage in intelligent conversations.
You can stay in good shape and avoid osteoporosis…
…by striving for 10,000 steps a day.
Have fun with it — get together with a small group of friends, have each buy a pedometer, and every week see who had the most steps in the last 7 days. Come up with a small prize for the winner — maybe a healthy lunch? (No, don’t “punish” those who had the fewest steps — you don’t want anyone to get stressed about this!)
You can keep your body healthy and strong…
…by eating right and avoiding toxins.
Avoid tobacco smoke (both first- and second-hand) and drugs, as well as excessive use of alcohol and caffeine. They can make you feel “good” for the moment, but can make you very sick and weak long term.
Avoid processed (packaged) foods. They are low in nutrients, which may cause malnutrition, making you weak and prone to disease. They are also high in sodium, which can give you high blood pressure and increase your risk for a heart attack or a stroke.
Consume mostly organic foods — fresh fruits and vegetables, lean proteins (lean poultry or tofu), and “good” fats (salmon, olive oil, nuts, etc.) — as they are nutrient-rich and toxin-free, and in general better for your health and taste buds.
The products described below can also aide your anti-aging efforts.
We recommend that you consult your physician before you try any of the supplements. While they are composed of all-natural ingredients, caution has never hurt anyone. You can access detailed information, including nutrition panels, by following product name links.
Do you blink a few times in order to bring text into focus? Are you always adjusting the distance you hold a book or newspaper from your eyes? Unfortunately, declining vision is a result of the normal aging process.
It is estimated that about 13 million Americans suffer from blindness or partial vision loss due to poor eye health. Isotonix Vision Formula with Lutein contains fourteen essential vitamins and minerals known to improve vision health. Its isotonic delivery of nutrients contributes to their maximal absorption by the body.
With age, your metabolism slows down, which may cause excessive weight gain, skin diseases, and many other disorders. Restless sleep may increase stress and irritability, lowering your energy and concentration levels, and weakening your immune system. Inadequate sexual function may deteriorate your quality of life. Reduced secretion of the human growth hormone (HGH) by your body slows down cell repair and renewal, leading to the overall weakening of your entire body.
The Prime all-natural supplements target your hormones and help you offset the effects of aging on various aspects of your life, including metabolism, sleep patterns, sexual health, and HGH.
Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) has been associated with a deficiency or excess of hormones, high levels of stress, nutritional deficiencies, and other nutritional or lifestyle factors.
Menopause symptoms are caused by the loss of estrogen, which is the primary female sex hormone.
Containing a unique combination of specially selected herbs and vitamins, Feminene is the natural choice for maintaining optimal female health. Feminene does not have the risk of side effects that are associated with some prescription drugs and hormonal therapies.
Feminene may help reduce the adverse effects of PMS and menopause:
|
PMS Increased levels of anger and hostility |
Menopause Emotional and physical changes |
Benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) is a slow, progressive, enlargement of the prostate that obstructs the urethra. Symptoms include frequent urination and difficulty with urination.
It is estimated that 50% of American men over the age of 40 are afflicted with BPH. The figure increases to 80% for men over the age of 80.
A healthy prostate can be maintained with a sensible diet and regular exercise, as well as avoidance of smoking or excessive alcohol consumption. A well-chosen prostate care supplement could be a good addition to the mix.
MPC (Maximum Prostate Care) combines nine potent herbs and two select nutrients to safely, naturally and effectively promote prostate health.
Some of the benefits of MPC include:
• Promotes a healthy prostate in men of all ages
• Promotes healthy cell function
• May support cardiovascular health
• May reduce LDL (“bad” cholesterol)
• Helps maintain healthy blood pressure
• May inhibit the growth of bacteria and viruses
• May increase sperm production and libido
Same age as you? Maybe, maybe not.
Your skin can age in two ways simultaneously:
1. The inevitable intrinsic aging is part of nature — how fast and to what extent this process takes place depends on your genes. All you can do is accept it with grace.
2. You can slow down extrinsic aging to some extent. It is caused by outside factors, such as exposure to the elements (sun, wind, rain, etc.), toxins, free radicals, and other factors against which you can protect your skin.

What Causes Skin Aging? • Decreased collagen and elastin production makes your skin thinner and less flexible, which leads to wrinkling and sagging. • Reduction in the size and number of sebaceous (oil) and sweat glands makes your skin dry and rough. |
|||||
• Increased melanin pigment production contributes to skin discoloration.
• Slow metabolism and poor blood circulation can negatively affect skin color and texture.
• Your skin’s cell renewal process becomes less efficient, slowing down tissue repair and cell regeneration, and giving your skin a dull look.
Frequent exposure to the harsh environment (free radicals, pollution, sun, wind, etc.), as well as certain nutrient deficiencies can speed up and aggravate all of the above conditions.
How Can You Slow Down the Aging of Your Skin?
While little can be done about the natural, intrinsic aging process, you can reduce the extrinsic factors’ negative effects on your skin by limiting your exposure to them and by using appropriate anti-aging skin care products.
Some of the extrinsic factors to avoid are:
• Chemicals — choose natural cleaning and personal care products.
• Tobacco smoke — avoid both smoking and second-hand smoke.
• Sun’s radiation — wear sun-protective clothing and
sunscreen.
• Irritation — avoid scrubbing your face with loofas and other
harsh items.
Some of the anti-aging skin care products we recommend are:
• The high-end Cellular Laboratories complete skin care system addresses all aspects of skin aging, improving your skin’s color, moisture level, smoothness, elasticity, and giving it a healthy and youthful look and feel.
