Anti-aging and Alkaline Diet
Mr. Sang Whang is a successful inventor, scientist, and engineer. He explains the health and antiaging processes in layman terms in his book, Reverse Aging. Below is an excerpt from that book.
INTRODUCTION
In order to learn how to get younger, we must understand the process of antiaging and an alkaline diet.
Handling natural health improvement devices developed in Japan a few years, I have witnessed as well as personally experienced many mysterious phenomenon in the reverse aging effect.
Being a scientist, engineer, and inventor, I have tried to understand and explain the phenomenon scientifically, applying the scientific principles of those non-drug, natural health improvement devices. During the course of the study, I came to a realization of what the human aging process is about. The great news is that, with this new theory, the antiaging process can be explained, and ANYBODY CAN GET YOUNGER IF HE OR SHE SO DESIRES.
THE AGING PROCESS
We get old because we are not disposing of all the internally generated wastes and toxins, and accumulate the leftovers within our body.
For our body to function and to maintain body temperature, we burn nutrients within our cells. The main ingredients of all foods, expensive or inexpensive, gourmet or junk, vegetable or meat, alkaline or acid, are either carbohydrates, proteins or fats. And they are nothing but the combinations of four elements: carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen.
After these nutrients are burnt (oxidized) in the cells, they all turn into organic acids: carbonic acids, uric acids, lactic acids, fatty acids, ammonia, etc. Fats are acidic even before oxidation. The Chinese word for oxygen is written with two characters, "sahn-so". They literally mean "acid root".
These acidic wastes and toxins are disposed out of the body in liquid form, as urine or perspiration, after first being dissolved into the blood. Every element within our body was place there by the blood and can come out of there by first being dissolved into the blood and then being carried out. If anyone loses ten pounds by any dietary means, it can be said that most of that ten pounds came out through the urine.
Unfortunately, due to our life styles and environments (i.e., too much ingestion, overwork, over indulgence, not enough rest, staying up late, not enough exercise, inadequate water consumption, smoking, pollution, low alkaline diet etc.) the body cannot get rid of all the acidic waste products that it generates within. We accumulate these left over waste products somewhere within our body. This is the process of getting old.
To make matters worse, mixed with these organic acids are inorganic acid minerals such as chlorine, phosphor, and sulfur that come in with most of our acidic foods: meats, grains and root crops. We don't eat enough of alkaline diet (antiaging) foods such as fruits and vegetables that contain inorganic alkaline minerals: calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, etc.
Although the amounts of inorganic minerals are small compared with the organic acid wastes that the body produces, they contribute more towards the acid side. However, one important thing to note is that even if one does not eat any acidic food at all, as long as carbohydrates and proteins are consumed, the body produces much more acidic wastes than the inorganic alkaline minerals can counteract.
We are born with high alkaline blood pH of 7.44. As we get older, the blood pH drops down to 7.35 or below. The blood pH referred to here is the artery blood pH. The difference of 0.09 in pH value seems very small but since pH is logarithmic, the amount of hydroxyl ion (OH-) in 7.44 pH is 1.23 times that of 7.35 pH, because 10=1.2303.
The hydroxyl ion is an oxygen donor while the hydrogen ion (H+) is an oxygen taker. In other words, young people carry 23% more of the oxygen donors in their blood than older people. No wonder they are more energetic.
Uric acid is nearly insoluble in water, alcohol, and ether, but soluble in solutions of alkaline salts. In other words, it becomes soluble in alkaline water. Arthritis and gout are caused by uric acid deposited between the joints, non-dissolved due to the low alkalinity of an older person's blood. Drinking acid free alkaline water will gradually elevate one's blood pH and the gout will disappear naturally. (More about this acid free alkaline water later)
As we live with poor waste disposal systems for a long period of time, some parts of our body build up more acids than others, and they can clog up capillary vessels around those acidic areas. This causes some body organs to function in a sluggish manner. We feel tired and run down sometimes for no reason whatsoever, and adult diseases such as high blood pressure, arthritis, diabetes, asthma, allergies, etc. start to set in WE SIMPLY ACCEPT THESE PHENOMENA AS "GETTING OLD."
Alkaline Diet
In some extreme cases, the build up of acidic elements are so great that it starts to destroy healthy cells around them. Healthy cells must maintain a slightly alkaline pH level. Some cells change their formula in order to survive in an acidic environment. If they are successful, this is the beginning of cancer. Cancer cells are acidic while healthy cells are alkaline. Even if the cancerous tumors are completely removed surgically, as long as the acidic conditions in the area remain, the chances are that new tumors will develop around the same area.
Exactly where the left over waste products are accumulated may very according to every individual. However, the parts of the body where wastes accumulate first may determine what kind of adult disease that individual may develop first. Within one family, the storage places may be similar. This may explain the hereditary effects of certain adult diseases.
THE ANTIAGING PROCESS
Because the accumulation of waste products inside the body is the aging process, helping the body to get rid of the OLD waste products is the antiaging process.
This reverse aging process takes two steps. The first step is to develop a good disposal system and the second step is to pull out the old wastes from their hiding places.
Development of A Good Disposal System
Since, as mentioned before, the waste disposal is done in liquid form by urine and perspiration, it is imperative that we drink plenty of water, When one is going through any diet program, doctors tell him to drink 8 glasses of water a day. They know the disposal is through urine, but they don't tell you what kind of water to drink.
Since all waste products are acidic, the best kind of water is acid free alkaline water. Drinking 4 glasses of this alkaline water is much more effective than 8 glasses of regular, bottled water or filtered tap water. There are devices called water ionizers that split alkaline minerals and acid minerals in regular tap water by electrical means.
A quality water ionizer takes in regular tap water which has both acid and alkaline minerals in it and has a typical pH value of 7. The system then releases water with a pH value of 9 or higher with all the alkaline minerals from the original tap water. At the same time it releases acidic water with a pH value of 5 or lower with all the acid minerals in the original tap water.
Since this alkaline water has twice as many alkaline minerals as the original water but NO acid minerals, it is more than twice as potent as the original water. Inside our body, it will neutralize only acidic elements and discharge them safely out of the body. Drinking 8 glasses of regular water can leach out acidic wastes as well as some valuable alkaline minerals such as potassium. That's why doctors test your blood when you are going through a serious diet program. With this alkaline water there is no worry about losing potassium from your system.

Rats treated with chromium supplements lived an average of two and a half years, one-third longer than their average life span. In humans, that would be equivalent to extending an average life span from seventy-five years to one hundred two years.
Selenium supplements can help protect you from cancer, heart disease, infectious viruses, and other signs of rapid aging.
Without enough magnesium in your diet, you’re running higher than necessary risks of heart failure, heart attack, chronic high blood pressure, osteoporosis, and unstable blood sugar.
Even if you’re eating a balanced diet, your body may not be getting enough of the vital minerals it needs. Today, we are bombarded with overprocessed, low-nutrient foods and polluted environments, which make it difficult for us to get the proper amount of vitamins and minerals from diet alone. USDA scientists have estimated that in order to get just 200 mcg of chromium (the amount that most anti-aging specialists recommend), you’d have to consume more than 12,000 calories a day from foods typical of the American diet.
Yet, it’s not enough simply to start taking supplements. Some forms of mineral supplements are more difficult for your body to digest or absorb than others. And, like most substances in the body, minerals don’t act alone. They engage in a complicated series of transactions with other minerals, vitamins, and hormones. In order to choose your supplements wisely, you need to know how each one works and how it interacts with the other nutrients you consume.
A study published in The Lancet reported that elderly people taking multivitamins with minerals had improved immune function and had 50 percent fewer sick days.
Vitamins & Minerals
Everybody needs the nutrition of vitamins and minerals to work, grow, and develop properly, which makes them extremely important on a daily basis. But it doesn't stop there. The human body also requires nutrition to do many things, such as ward off disease, boost immune system response, and even improve overall moods!
When the skin gets a cut, the human body needs nutrition to clot.
When one gets sick, the body requires a more than average amount of nutrition to help fight the virus. Most people don't realize just how extremely critical nutrition is. For example, nutrition regulates reactions that occur in metabolism, unlike other dietary components known as macronutrients (fats, carbohydrates, proteins). One can consume all the right amounts of these fats, carbohydrates, and proteins, get all the exercise needed, but unless there are also very adequate amounts of nutrition in the body to regulate how these macronutrients are used, benefits achieved will be slim to none! Absence of just a single vitamin blocks one or more specific metabolic reactions in a cell and eventually may disrupt the metabolic balance within a cell and in our entire body. With the exception of Vitamin C (ascorbic acid), all of the water-soluble vitamins assist enzymes that function in energy transfer/ metabolism of fats, carbohydrates, and proteins. In other words, it is extremely difficult for our bodies to break down these nutrients into energy we can use without vitamins. As we age our body’s requirement for nutrition changes, supplementation is an excellent way to ensure we have an excess of reserves for our systems to work well at an optimal level of performance.
Beta Carotene: In the last few years increasing numbers of reports have suggested that the use of Beta Carotene may act to prevent the development of various malignancies. Beta Carotene and other similar compounds have differentiating properties that appear to affect cell growth and maturation. Beta Carotene is not toxic to the liver even in high doses in contrast to Vitamin A. Large doses of Beta Carotene will increase the body's demands for Vitamin E; therefore, those of you on 50,000 to 100,000 units of beta carotene per day will need to also increase your vitamin E to 1,000 to 2,000 units per day. The definitive role of beta carotene/vitamin E is yet to be understood, but there is sufficient reason to use beta carotene in a dose of 50,000 units per day. There is no need to supplement this with carrot juice or vitamin A. Beta carotene, like vitamin A and E is stored in the liver. Current clinical trials in prevention of cervix cancer and cancer of the lung and breast are using beta carotene. This may also be helpful in the prevention of colon cancer and melanoma.
VITAMIN E: Please read the above. Vitamin E is an important anti-oxidant. It acts as a free radical scavenger to prevent the byproducts of chemical-cell interaction to cause cell damage. Free radicals are likely responsible for all or most of the degenerative diseases e.g. arthritis, heart disease, cancer, senility etc. The absorption or scavenging of free radicals would protect our cells from this type of injury. Other free radical scavengers include zinc, vitamin C, and selenium.
Studies have reported vitamin E to protect against some of the toxicities of ionizing radiation. Vitamin E may help to decrease the toxicity of certain chemotherapy drugs. Adriamycin is an important anti-cancer drug with potential major toxicity to the heart. The use of 1000 to 2,000 units of vitamin E per day may help to decrease this toxicity. Vitamin E may decrease some of the harmful effects of solar radiation on the skin. As cited above it works well in conjunction with beta carotene. Vitamin E appears to have stabilizing effect on the vascular system and is useful in decreasing menopausal and premenstrual symptoms. It is useful in decreasing leg cramps occurring especially at night. Vitamin E can be used in lotions or creams to protect the skin or to treat for burns. It is also helpful to treat burns secondary to radiation therapy. I have also used it with good results in patients with dermatitis resulting from poor blood circulation i.e. stasis dermatitis. It is commonly prescribed for topical use in pregnant women to prevent stretch marks on the abdomen. More recently it has been used to prevent or treat mucositis resulting from chemotherapy. I advise patients to bite into a 1000 unit capsule and swish the vitamin E around the mouth and over the mucous membranes lining the cheeks. This is done three to four times a day. You can also use liquid vitamin E to do this.
B COMPLEX: The B complexes are important membrane stabilizers. They are natural tranquilizers or anti-stress vitamins because of this property. They are important vitamins to help nerve function. The B complex vitamins contain PABA which is important in protecting the skin against the harmful effects of Ultra-violet radiation. PABA is an excellent UV screening agent and helps to protect against the development of skin cancer or sun-induced skin damage e.g. wrinkling and solar keratoses. Fair complexioned people should avoid sun exposure and should use sun- blockers with at least a 15 factor as well as use B complex orally. Such people are actinic or sun sensitive and are at a greater risk for the development of skin cancers of all types. People with red hair, blue or green eyes tend to be sun sensitive (actinic sensitive). Women using oral contraceptives increase their utilization of the B vitamins and need to supplement their diet with B complex. Patient under high stress should do the same. The B vitamins are water soluble. They are not stored in the body as are beta carotene and vitamin E. B complex must be taken with food already in the stomach. If taken on an empty stomach, pain and nausea are not uncommon. The use of B complex in a dose of 100 mg once to three times a day with meals is recommended per patient tolerance. If the B complex is being absorbed the urine will be bright yellow and have a pungent smell due to the riboflavonoids present. This is to be expected and should not cause alarm. If no change in urine color is noted then suspect that your brand of B complex is not being absorbed by your body- change brands.
VITAMIN C: This vitamin is important for tissue healing. Patients with peptic ulcers will heal faster on vitamin C than those without extra vitamin C. As mentioned previously, vitamin C is an anti-oxidant. It is also water soluble as B complex. I advise that it be used in doses of 2,000 to 6,000 mg after each meal to take advantage of its anti-oxidant effects. I would start with 1,000 mg after each meal and increase slowly up to 6,000 mg after each meal. Side-effects of large doses include diarrhea and flatulence. Studies in Canada show a decrease number of colon polyps in patients taking high doses of vitamin C. Such polyps are precursors for colon cancer. If we can decrease polyp formation with vitamin C perhaps we can decrease colon cancer as well. The use of vitamin C in this capacity should accompany a very low fat diet that is high in dietary fiber. Smoking and alcohol consumption will increase the excretion of vitamin C. Alcohol will actually deplete all of the water soluble vitamins. Vitamin C has been touted by Pauling and Cameron to decrease cancer growth and cause remissions in cancer patients. I have not seen any evidence in all of the studies published to warrant that conclusion. The studies published by Pauling and Cameron were scientifically unsound and poorly controlled. Major trials using high dose I.V. vitamin C fail to confirm any anti- cancer effect of this vitamin in patients with established cancer.
High dose vitamin C may be a problem in patients with a tendency to kidney stone formation. Check with your physician if this is your situation.
In patients receiving iron supplements to help treat iron deficiency, the use of vitamin C taken at the same time as the iron medicine will greatly enhance the absorption of iron. Vitamin C will help with wound healing and healing of burns. It improves the strength of the walls of the blood vessels and may help decrease the easy bruising seen with some patients. Vitamin C in topical form to prevent sunburn and to absorb the ultraviolet rays will soon be available.
Vitamin C may help people with low back pain and arthritis due to its anti- oxidant effects. This and other vitamins need to be taken over long periods of time. These substances work over time -- be patient.
SELENIUM: This is an anti-oxidant with activity as a free radical scavenger. Populations with high blood selenium levels are found to have lower death rates due to cancer. Mormons have high selenium blood levels perhaps related to their diet. Cancer patients have low selenium blood levels. Selenium works in harmony with vitamin E. Selenium toxicity can occur and the dose of selenium should be close to 100 MICROGRAMS (not milligrams) per day.
CALCIUM-MAGNESIUM: Calcium is deficient in most of our diets. This deficiency is most prevalent in women who have had children and have never supplemented their own diets with calcium. Calcium consumption along with exercise is the best means to prevent calcium deficiency. Once calcium is lost and signs of osteopenia develop the medical problem may be hard to reverse. Collapse of bone and fractures commonly of the pelvis may occur in such individuals. When people "shrink" with age it is due to vertebral compression fractures caused by osteopenia, commonly referred to as osteoporosis. Bone density studies will detect patients having osteopenia. Calcium, like B complex acts as a membrane stabilizer and natural tranquilizer as does magnesium and potassium. Calcium and magnesium should be taken together in a ratio of 2:1. A daily intake of Calcium of 1,000 to 1,500 mg is reasonable. Calcium/magnesium may be taken at bedtime to promote sleep. Magnesium in the form of magnesium oxide in combination with vitamin B-6 has been shown to dissolve certain types of kidney stones (calcium oxalate stones). This preparation is called Beelith and is taken twice a day. It is also helpful in patients with chronic constipation since magnesium salts act as cathartics. During pregnancy the intake of calcium and magnesium should be increased to prevent deficiency in mother and child. Patients with potassium deficiency should always be checked for magnesium deficiency. In the presence of magnesium depletion, it is very difficult to replete potassium stores. I have used a calcium citrate source containing vitamin D to enhance calcium absorption. This is an effervescent formulation and it is taken as two tablets dissolved in a glass of cold water per day. Calcium citrate is better absorbed and utilized than calcium carbonate. The use of fluoride in a liquid formulation (potassium fluoride 180 mg/cc) help bind calcium in the bones. Fluoride drops are taken as 1 drop in juice or water three times per day. This is a prescription item and must be made up by the pharmacist. The dose can be slowly increased per the physician. Fluoride in this concentration can irritate the gastric lining. Slow increases in dose are important to prevent this side-effect.
ZINC: This element is important in wound healing. It also functions as an anti- oxidant. It is helpful in the treatment of acne. It hastens healing of peptic ulcer disease and burns. The recommended dose is 100 mg per day. Chelated zinc will not cause the gastrointestinal distress the inorganic zinc will. Therefore, request a chelated zinc rather than zinc sulfate.
The skin is the largest organ in the human body. Each day many thousands of skin cells are shed from the outermost layer and continually replaced by rapidly dividing cells from the skin layers underneath. Due to their short lifespan and rapid growth rate, developing skin cells require a steady supply of specific nutrients, fed to them from the bloodstream, to remain and look healthy from one generation of cells to the next.
It is a simple fact that radiant, more youthful skin demands proper external care plus adequate vitamin and minerals intake to provide nourishment to developing skin cells. Optimal consumption of nutrients is an essential, but often overlooked, step in enhancing the texture and beauty of the skin. In the past few years, studies have revealed the optimal doses of various compounds required to help the body manufacture the smoothest, softest and most radiant skin, as well as minimize the formation of wrinkles and slow other characteristics of skin aging.
Antioxidant Nutrients
Ingestion of antioxidant vitamins and minerals from supplements has been shown to protect skin cells from free-radical damage induced by overexposure to ultraviolet light and various harmful environmental chemicals. In particular, free-radical damage from excessive UV overexposure can cause aging and wrinkling of the skin, as well as other forms of skin damage. Supplementation with specific doses of vitamin C, vitamin E, betacarotene, lycopene, selenium and zinc may boost the body’s ability to intercept and neutralize free radicals, defending skin cells from many of these damaging effects.
Antioxidant supplements can greatly protect the skin from free-radical damage, which depletes the skin’s antioxidant nutrient supply. A properly designed high-potency multivitamin and minerals that is fortified with optimal levels of specific antioxidant vitamins and minerals can help protect the skin from free-radical damage.
In addition to boosting the internal defenses, antioxidant vitamins and minerals can support detoxification by helping the body expel toxins that can aggravate various skin conditions (e.g., psoriasis, acne, eczema). These compounds also aid in the production of prostaglandin hormones that improve skin texture, smoothness and moisture.
Daily oral antioxidant supplementation should be viewed as a necessary component of skincare management throughout adult life. Topically applied antioxidants have been shown to be insufficient as a singular approach to protect the skin from free-radical damage, and do not influence detoxification and prostaglandin production. Only orally ingested antioxidants can provide all of these benefits.
Aging is one of the bitter facts of life which leaves none however mighty, healthy or wealthy. But aging is not inevitable. Indian Yogis had always known of certain Elixir from Himalayan Mountains known as Shilajit which could go a long way in arresting and reversing the aging process. In Sanskrit the literal meaning of Shilajit is " Rock Like " - the power to make our body like a rock enabling it to withstand the ravages of time. Shilajit has that unmatched powers of arresting and reversing the aging process.
Body needs Minerals more than anything else if we have to arrest the natural aging process and stay young for a very long time. Minerals act as catalysts for metabolic reactions and biological functions within the body cells and are required for the assimilation of all vitamins. The aging process involves the action of highly reactive free radicals which interact with other cellular compounds and produce oxidative damages. This eventually kills cells, shrinks tissues and impairs the immune function of the organism.
Electrical Potency of the Cell is the single most aspect of body cell’s survival. Along with age the electrical potential of the cells continuously decreases leading to weakness and decreased potential of body cells. Decrease in Electrical potential of the cells brings about decrease in Energy Metabolism. Ultimately when the electrical potential of the Cells become Zero the cell disintegrates and dies.
Wrinkles on skin, thinning hair ,receding hemlines ,tendency to put on more weight despite of consuming less food, decreasing energy & stamina, decrease in levels of sexual life , susceptibility to various ailments are the signs that mean that aging process is setting in our body and our Energy Metabolism process is slowing down.
The only way to restore the electrical potential of the cells, prevent their disintegration and arrest the aging process is to ensure that the cells are supplied with sufficient amount of minerals. This may sounds fairly simple as we merely have to consume the myriad types of minerals available Over the counter in any store. This is what Americans have been doing in a big way. But it does not work as easy as it may sound. The latest survey shows that as much as 97% of Americans are deficient in Minerals. Almost all above 35 years of age are Mineral deficient .
The minerals that we get over the counter are in Colloidal form. Body cells can never absorb the minerals in colloidal form. They have to be first converted into Ionic form. The colloidal minerals are converted into ionic form by the Hydrochloric acid in our stomach and then are absorbed by the body cells. This process of colloidal to ionic mineral conversion is never complete and more so as we age. The unconverted colloidal minerals end up harming the body organs in the long run.
Vegetables, plants, eggs, milk, meat products have minerals in Ionic form and they are readily absorbed by the body. But in these days of Chemical farming there is considerable degree of damage done to the minerals in these products. This renders these minerals incapable of being absorbed completely. Moreover all the minerals may not be found in a single product. Vegetables and fruits have high levels of Ionic Potassium and Phosphorous. Eggs have ionic calcium. Moreover a large amount of various types of plants, fruits ,vegetables ,meat, eggs etc. in raw uncooked form have to be consumed to get sufficient amount of minerals. Processed milk, boiled vegetables, cooked meat will not be helpful as the cooking process damages the ionic nature of minerals. This as we know is humanely impossible.
Intake of minerals in ionic form is only half the work done. The body cells will no doubt absorb the ionic minerals and maintain their energy metabolism and electric potential but there is a major barrier in cell walls . The ionic minerals have to pass through the cell walls. Cell walls become thicker in size with age and it prevents the entry of minerals inside cell.
SHILAJIT is a concentrated historic plant life from Himalayan region. The Himalayan region encompassing India, China, Tibet and parts of central Asia was home to rich plant life right from prehistoric times. The plants there absorbed various minerals from soil to form rich and green vegetation. The life of trees and plants there extended to many hundred and even thousands of years. After their time the plants returned back to earth along with the minerals. This process continued over a period of many centuries .This remains of plant life in the sub zero climatic conditions and altitude of Himalayas formed the Mineral Pitch known as SHILAJIT
Shilajit contains all essential minerals in Ionic form and a mineral acid known as Fulvic Acid .
Shilajit has 85 minerals in Ionic form which are readily absorbed by body cells . Fulvic acid - the orehr major constituent of Shilajit dilates and softens the thick cell walls so that the absorption of minerals are complete .
Shilajit was first discovered in Modern times by British Explorer Sir Martin Edward Stanley during 1870 when India and Nepal were part of British Empire.
Most of the monkeys in plains of Northern India age and bald by the time they reach 10 years of age. Sir Edward Stanley on his exploration in higher altitude of Himalayas to his surprise found there were hardly any monkeys with aged look in his months of expedition. He subsequently observed that monkeys there regularly ate something from earth near the rocks. That was a odd behavior as monkeys do not eat anything from earth. He observed that the monkeys ate a blackish mineral pitch oozing near the rocks. The locals there called it "silajitu"
Only some Indian Yogis there knew how to treat and purify silajitu and it was offered to very select people there. This has special mention in his book.
Shilajit has extensive mention in ancient Hindu literature. An elderly Indian King wanted to enjoy natural pleasures of life and prayed to Lord Shiva considered prime among Hindu Pantheon and originator of Yoga. Lord Shiva was pleased with his prayer and offered him a substance originating from his body. That restored the King’s youthfulness
There is also extensive mention of Shilajit as a powerful aphrodisiac and restorer of Youthfulness in The Kama Sutra - the most widely read treatise on sex.
The powerful anti aging properties of Shilajit have been proven by many modern scientific studies
According to United States Patent number 5,405,613 (http:/www.uspto.gov ) "The present inventor has found that Shilajit over and above its nutritional and herbal content has novel energetic properties. Measurement of subtle energy changes indicate that Shilajit has a vibratory field that is substantially stronger than any vitamin, mineral, food substance or herb.
The present inventor has also surprisingly found that when a small amount of Shilajit is added to a vitamin or mineral preparation, the energetic properties of the vitamin or mineral preparation are enhanced”
According to United States Patent number 6,440,436
Aging and its associated problems are degenerative diseases. Alzheimer’s, cardiovascular, arthritis, cancer and hundreds of other diseases set in with age.
"Native shilajit is a blackish-brown exudation, of variable consistencies, obtained from steep rocks of different formations found in the Himalayas at altitudes between 1000-5000 m,.Shilajit also is found in other mountain ranges of the world, e.g. Afganisthan (Hindukush, Badakh-Shan), Australia (Northern Pollock Ranges), and in the former USSR (Tien-Shan, Pamir, Caucasus, Ural). Native shilajit is believed to arrest aging and also produce rejuvenation"
According to Paul Flechsig Institute Brain Res., Department of Neurochemistry, University of Leipzig, D-04109 Leipzig , Germany “Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases are brain degenerative diseases which strike elderly. Research by has shown that Shilajit is very powerful in enhancing Cognition and Memory in Alzheimer’s Patients.

Vinton in 1964-68; who reported that INDIUM improved average Mineral absorption in the glands 142%; raised Chromium in all organs average 333%, enhancing Insulin that regulates muscle-building Protein and Carbohydrate energy. INDIUM has been reported to counter low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), and may reduce Insulin-dependance in late-onset type-2 diabetes. People report reduced migraine headaches, depression, and insomnia (pineal Melatonin).
INDIUM also raised average glandular Manganese 94%, Zinc 79%, and Copper 61%. Indium may improve alimentary assimilation of food and Mineral supplements.
Over 1,000 human volunteers studied by patentor George Bonadio, and 1,300 lab animal studies over the past 20 years, suggest INDIUM normalizes the master glands Pituitary-hypothalamus and Pineal directing 40 Endocrine gland systems, balancing 31 Hormones naturally, including Human Growth Hormone, DHEA, Melatonin, many steroids, & thyroid hormones.
INDIUM is reported to improve sense of well-being, mood, thinking, memory, may counter depression, reduced Alzheimer tremors in 74% of cases studied in 10 days, may improve Parkinson speech & motor skills; & give better sleep. INDIUM may lessen glaucoma eyeball pressure; restore hair growth & natural hair color. INDIUM is reported to improve micro-circulation, lessen blood viscosity, plaque & cholesterol attaching to artery walls, may enhance blood hemoglobin Iron extending red blood cell life and Oxygen capacity from 90 to 120 days; reported to normalize high blood pressure. INDIUM is a surface antiseptic for skin, hands & utensils, may enhance Immunity, speed healing of cuts & burns (taken internally, do not use on broken skin), for dry rough skin & nails; may inhibit tooth bacteria, colds & sore throat. INDIUM has been shown to reduce prostate cancer P.S.A. scores; reduced lifetime cancers 26% and malignant tumors 42% fed to 200 mice. INDIUM may improve athletic performance by removing muscle lactic acid waste, enhancing endurance & recuperation. One reports a retired racehorse fed Indium, went out to win the next 6 races & set 2 track records. What will happen when everyone takes the missing-link Indium?
INDIUM is reported to counter pregnancy diabetes & premature delivery. From its increased Chromium uptake, 6000 mol.wt. of Insulin converts into equal Hormone Relaxin for better fetus support & location, full-term brain development, with fewer birth defects; Relaxin makes for a relaxed, easier and quicker childbirth (we do not recommend pregnant women take Indium without approval of their physician). INDIUM regulates hormones that may lessen P.M.S. ( PMS - Premenstrual Syndrome ), menopause hot flashes & night sweats. INDIUM may decrease drug, chemical and alcohol toxicity by up to two-thirds (2/3), making it easier to reduce addictions.

The 6 Most Effective Anti-Aging
Eating Techniques
There are many popular health diets. Using any or all of the following six techniques will enhance any diet and reduce much of the cellular stress our diets often cause us.
(Everyone Knows This) Eat more whole foods as uncooked or lightly cooked, often as possible.
•Add more servings of different types of whole, uncooked foods to meals and salads.
•Eat more snacks of raw fiber-rich vegetables
and fruits.
(Not So Well Known) Eat five times
- or more - a day
Small meals with snacks in-between. One of the biggest stresses on the digestive system is to overload it two or three separate times a day. Instead, give it smaller amounts throughout the day. You won’t over-stress it and you won't be hungry. And it is the more natural way to eat.
(Pretty Well Known) Eat more fiber.
Increase fiber amounts at the "fiber" meals.
(Also Pretty Well Known) Drink 8 glasses of water everyday.
(Harder To Do) Eat best fats, not modified polyunsaturated fats
That includes cutting saturated fats somewhat, but stopping all heated, processed or solidified polyunsaturated fats, including all cooking oils, pure or not - except extra virgin olive oil, avoacado oil or canola oil.
(Powerful Anti-Aging Technique) Don’t eat simple carbohydrates alone (sweets, fruits, juices, pop, pasta, etc.). At the same time, also eat some fats and/or protein-rich food. This helps avoid blood sugar jumps and dips that can lead to low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) and ultimately pre-diabetic disordered cellular chemistry.
Another of the biggest stresses on your health and longevity is giving yourself hpoglycemia. The hypoglycemia stress (low blood-sugar levels) is one of the most damaging health practices possible, predisposing yourself to imbalanced cellular chemistry, diabetes and all the other degenerative processes.
A major cause of hypoglycemia is eating refined foods by themselves. Blood sugar levels shoot way up and then drop precipitously. This up-and-down saw-tooth pattern creates the problem.
The easy solution: Combine the refined food with a slower digesting food, like fiber-rich vegetables, fats, even meats. Examples are: snacks like candy with nuts or cheese, or seeds with fruit juice, and the old standy, meat and potaotes. Very valuable anti-aging technique.
It is a simple fact that radiant, more youthful skin demands proper external care plus adequate vitamin and mineral intake to provide nourishment to developing skin cells.
Optimal consumption of nutrients is an essential, but often overlooked, step in enhancing the texture and beauty of the skin.
In the past few years, studies have revealed the optimal doses of various compounds required to help the body manufacture the smoothest, softest and most radiant skin, as well as minimize the formation of wrinkles and slow other characteristics of skin aging.
Ingestion of antioxidant vitamins and minerals from supplements has been shown to protect skin cells from free-radical damage induced by overexposure to ultraviolet light and various harmful environmental chemicals.
Supplementation with specific doses of vitamin C, vitamin E, betacarotene, lycopene, selenium and zinc may boost the body's ability to intercept and neutralize free radicals, defending skin cells from many of these damaging effects.
A properly designed high-potency multivitamin and mineral that is fortified with optimal levels of specific antioxidant vitamins and minerals can help protect the skin from free-radical damage.
Deficiencies of the B vitamins produce various forms of dermatitis (skin inflammation problems), including lack of skin smoothness, seborrhoea-like scaly lesions, and/or irregular pigmentation.
While beneficial for limiting skin problems associated with aging, daily supplementation with a high-potency multiple vitamin and mineral can help address other body areas prone to aging and environmental damage.
For instance, a good multi-vitamin can provide the body with the right blend and doses of nutrients needed to enhance nail hardness and the sheen and quality of hair.
The daily ingestion of a high-potency multiple vitamin and mineral supplement is an important aspect of skincare and health promotion.

VITAMIN E - TOCOPHEROLS AND TOCOTRIENOLS
Vitamin E, one of our most important antioxidant vitamins, was discovered at the University of California at Berkeley in 1922. Subsequently, through extensive examination, Vitamin E was found to be a family of eight isomers: alpha, beta, gamma and delta tocopherols and alpha, beta, gamma and delta tocotrienols. Vitamin E that naturally occurs in our food always contains all eight compounds. Most supplemental Vitamin E has been based on only one fraction: alpha tocopherol.
THE VALUE OF VITAMIN E COMPLETE 8™
Emerging research reveals that optimal benefits from Vitamin E can only be experienced by using raw materials containing the full spectrum of tocopherols and tocotrienols. The reason to include the Complete 8 is that each of the family members plays a unique and important role. The 8 components have different molecular structures, biological activities and potential therapeutic benefits. (see Formula Facts. pg. 18 for more information on Vitamin E Complete 8™.)
LITTLE TIDBIT: Vitamin E naturally occurs in most of our important healthy foods. Research shows that the Vitamin E found in foods is more effective and safer to use. In the quest to find optimum health we often receive misleading information. The current belief is that Vitamin E, d-alpha tocopherol, is the most effective form. Recent research shows this information to be incorrect. The Confusion - Through a process of elimination Vitamin E became one fraction: alpha tocopherol. Scientific research confirms that Vitamin E is not a single compound. Vitamin E is a family of eight isomers: alpha, beta, gamma and delta Tocopherols and alpha, beta, gamma and delta Tocotrienols. Vitamin E that naturally occurs in our food contains all eight compounds. Vitamin E delivered in its whole food form, with its structure intact, provides the greatest benefit. Eating enough quality food on a daily basis to satisfy our Vitamin E requirements is a challenge. Dr. Andrew Weil says in his newsletter, "100 to 400 I.U. a day levels of Vitamin E are hard to achieve through diet alone".

You celebrate your 29th birthday and you are looking with dread to the next birthday when you would be the whole of 30 years and wonder for how long you could stop the clock and celebrate the 29th one? Well, if you play your cards, you could celebrate it until you are, let’s say, 40-45 years of age not because Mother Nature has been kind to you, but because you use the vital information on antiaging from ancient wisdom to stay young and beautiful for a very long time.
Information on Antiaging That Could Keep You Beautiful Forever
Maybe the word ‘forever’ is a little exaggeration, but aging could be kept away for a very long time with the help of a few very simple steps that need to be incorporated in your daily routine. The first and most important one would be hydration of the body and the skin. You must be aware of the fact that you need to drink about eight glasses of water per day to provide the body and skin with the necessary hydration. Yet, you must be drinking only about three to four glasses at best.
Learn to relax – stress is one of the most harmful factors when it comes to aging signs. Not only does it keep the facial muscles tense creating wrinkles, but also influences digestion and absorption of vitamins and minerals by the body and other functions negatively which cause deterioration of the system in general. You need to learn to let go of things that stress you before you go to bed – you could use meditation or laughter therapy or simple relaxation exercises to achieve this goal.
The information on antiaging also points to prevention methods such as protecting yourself from the harm of the UV rays and the burning effects of the direct sunlight which damages the skin very fast. Your skin’s elasticity is the first thing that is destroyed when it is exposed to sun – hence, you would need to wear a good sunscreen lotion when you go out even if it is winter time. In summer you should use clothes that cover your body as much as possible and avoid at all cost to move out from the house between 11AM and 2PM.
There is more that you could use from the ancient information on antiaging – this is with regard to “bad habits” of the modern human being, i.e. smoking, eating junk food, sleeping late, abusing alcohol, consuming excess sweets and so on. If you want to look good, you need to be disciplined with your life – with your sleep, food and other social habits.
Lastly, use this information on antiaging not as an exclusive list but as a skeleton guideline to which you could keep adding points to help you maintain your youthful looks for a very long time. Good Luck!
If you are:
- healthy, and have an effective digestive system
- live in an area that has rich soils with a good variety of trace elements
- live in a pristine area (not subject to high levels of pollution)
- enjoy a diet exclusively of local, ripe and organic foods
- also eat a variety of super foods
then you probably don’t need to take any supplement pills.
? If you are like the majority of health conscious people living in the modern world, feeling some of the stresses, subject to some level of pollution, and dependent to some extent on supermarkets and commercial foods, then supplements can help you to attain optimum nutrition and total health. This is particularly important if you live in Australia (especially West Australia), which has the most barren soils of any continent. Rather than multi-vitamin multi-mineral and other pills, you should be looking to superfoods for your micronutrients and enzyme supplements. Grow Youthful introduces a range of superfoods such as bee pollen, spirulina, ionized whey powder and certain herbs and berries.
? If you live in a city, eat a poor diet of mostly prepared, processed and cooked food, and are exposed to a high toxic acid load through stress, pollution and drugs, then your body needs all the help it can get. Your immune system in particular needs support. Take a daily micronutrient multi-mineral multivitamin anti-oxidant supplement – a broad spectrum, low dose micronutrient supplement will help you to fight disease, neutralise toxins and free radicals and guard against the degeneration of your body tissues.
Nutritious food is better than any pill
Nutrients are nearly always more effective than other medicines in treating any ailment. Time and again, David Niven Miller shows how healthy eating is the key to curing many degenerative diseases, rather than medicines and pills.
A micronutrient supplement can also slow or even reverse your ageing. However, don’t expect to take a multi-vitamin multi-mineral supplement and look younger a month later – the greatest anti-ageing results only occur after a decade. For example, in a study of 88,000 nurses over 26 years, those who took multivitamin tablets for fifteen years or more reduced their risk of colon cancer by 75%. However, there was no reduction of colon cancer among those who had been taking multivitamin tablets for only five years.
Use UV screening cosmetic products
If you protect your skin from the sun’s rays only in the summer, when you’re sunbathing, you must know that this singular habit isn’t an effective barrier against wrinkles. Sun exposure is the main factor of skin aging. Some experts actually estimate that about 80% of aging is due to sun effects. Even more, sun exposure can cause skin cancer after the age of 50. Protection must be adapted depending on each type of skin. People with very light skin color need to use UV screening creams all year round. If you’re using these kind of products daily there’s a chance that your skin will have less wrinkles or sun-caused spots.
2. Eat fruits, vegetables and fish every day
Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables and you’ll do your skin a very big favor! Lacking vitamins is the next major cause of body deterioration. You must pay attention to your meals more often, by that meaning you have to supply it with antioxidants (vitamins A, E, C and selenium), zinc and copper. You need a daily quantity of 60 miligrams of C vitamin (about as much as an orange has). It is recommended to give up sweets, meat and fat-rich food. Don’t forget breakfast! It’s well known that even a piece of bread and butter or some cereals with milk will help your digestive system deal with the food more efficiently. Besides that, it also make you less hungry between the meals.
3. Drink more liquids!
Correct body hydration helps keep your skin young. Drink natural juices as much as possible, mineral water and tea. Avoid consuming too much black tea and coffee. In the summer your body will need up to 6 liters of fluids while in the cold season 1.5-2 liters will do the job.
4. Give up smoking
Both nicotine and alcohol “steal” the skin’s vitamins and minerals thus leaving it dehydrated and exposed to wrinkle conditions. Smoking should be definitely forbidden because it directly affects the skin, large part of the toxins being eliminated through it. These factors contribute to the whole body aging, also increasing the risks of cancer, arthritis and osteoporosis. Alcohol in moderate quantities isn’t as harmful as tobacco is, unless there’s strict recommendation against it from your doctor.
5. Take it easy!
It has been proven that chronic stress increases the aging process' speed. Don’t forget the 3 eights rule: have 8 hours of sleep, 8 hours of work and 8 hours of relaxation each day. It sounds impossible, right? Try yoga, meditation, massage or aromatherapy. You can use oils that create a peaceful sensation such as lavender. Can't get enough sleep? You should try harder, otherwise your efficiency at work will suffer, you’ll do a lot of mistakes and you'll get old quicker. Try harder to spend quality time with your friends, in a relaxing environment. Laughter has its benefits!
6. Use quality makeup
If the cosmetic products you’re using are carefully picked, they are specific to your skin type and you don'’t "forget" to remove your makeup every night, they won't harm your body. Instead, quality makeup protects the skin from harmful actions of the surrounding environment.
Makeup used to mean camouflage. But lately, it has taken on a different task: helping to protect and repair skin, so you look your best with or without coverage. With added ingredients in anti-aging makeup products such as sunscreen, retinol, and antioxidants, treatment makeup can save you time and money, with one easy layer to apply instead of two or three. "The trend now is to use fewer products, combining all the active ingredients in one," says Bradford Katchen, MD, an assistant professor of dermatology at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City. We've found some anti-aging makeup products that fit the bill.
High-Grade SPF Makeup
Ask any dermatologist: The most vital extra to add to makeup is UV protection. It's your best defense against skin cancer and aging. Tinted moisturizers with SPF 15 are now being joined by sheer year-round foundations with more serious broad-spectrum titanium dioxide and zinc oxide sunblocks. The minerals in these sunblocks used to leave a chalky residue, but today they're micronized into much finer particles that won't give you the white-nosed lifeguard look. Outstanding examples:
Shiseido Sun Protection Stick Foundation SPF 35; Eau Thermale Av?ne Tinted Extreme Compact SPF 50, which goes on with a sponge; and Dr. Brandt SPF 30 Bronze Barrier Face.
Anti-Aging Foundations
The new ones pack antioxidants, which prevent sun damage by inhibiting free-radical formation, and alpha hydroxy acids, which exfoliate to keep skin looking renewed and glowing. Try Exuviance by Neostrata Skin Caring Foundation SPF 15, which contains the same dose of mild hydroxy acids found in Exuviance daytime cream, or Sally Hansen Skin Firming Line Minimizing Liquid Makeup with retinol and antioxidant vitamins A, C, and E. Another favorite is Yves Saint Laurent Teint Compact Matit?, a powder that delivers tiny beads of hydrating hyaluronic acid.
Developing A Anti Aging Juice Recipe
One key to anti aging is to eat a very nutritious diet rich in vitamins and minerals. The foods that contain many of these nutrients are fruits and vegetables. In the United States people rarely eat the amount of fruits and vegetables that will provide all the necessary nutrients. For people who have a hard time eating all their fruits and vegetables developing an anti aging juice recipe can be the answer.
Fruits And Vegetables For Anti Aging Juice Recipes
The best fruits and vegetables for nutrition are usually the bright colored ones. Nutritious fruits to add into a juice are oranges, tangerines, melons, bananas, plums, grapes, berries, kiwi, mango, etc. Almost any type of fruits will have good vitamin content and will contribute to the anti aging juice recipe. The juice should have a combination of different types of fruit so different nutrients are supplied. A person can try to pick complimentary flavors such as strawberry and banana, orange and pineapple or even mango, kiwi and grape. Choosing several fruits will be the most beneficial.
The vegetables that are known to have great health benefits include leafy greens, carrots, squash, red and green cabbage, broccoli, and many others. For people who have a hard time with the flavors of some vegetables including them in an anti aging juice recipe can help disguise the flavor. These vegetables should be included in the daily diet and can easily be consumed in the juice.
Supplements For Anti Aging Juice Recipes
The great thing about creating a juice is that any kind of supplement can be added. Careful research of health food sites will help a person decide what the best supplements for their specific needs are. There are even many physicians who are now specializing in anti aging medicine who may be able to help decide on the supplements. Supplements will usually have vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, amino acids, hormones or other ingredients which are though to have an affect on aging. These supplements can be blended in with the other ingredients of the anti aging juice recipe to increase its benefits.
Other Ingredients To Add
There are many other ingredients that can be added to complete the anti aging juice recipe. Tofu, yogurt, eggs, wheat germ, flax, psyllium, and other healthy foods will add to the anti aging properties of the anti aging juice recipe being created. Fibrous items can be blenderized to make them easier to mix with the juice. Even nuts and grains can be added to make a terrific juice. Creating an anti aging juice recipe can easily be done and will provide great health benefits to the person who drinks them daily.

Sex And Anti Aging
The most used marketing strategy has always been Sex Sells. We all have heard this slogan and we all believe that it is true, but have you ever stopped and thought about it? Why does sex sell? If you have a better job, new car, fresher breath, whiter teeth, shiner hair, or fancy cloths, will your chances of having sex be improved? Perhaps; but why will this type of advertising also work on people that already have a sexual partner?
It is because sex is one of the most powerful motivator of human action known to science. For anyone that has studied Maslow's Hierarchy Of Needs know that sex is in the number one slot along with breathing and eating.
It is also the most beneficial of the Anti-Aging regiments you can perform. That is a rather bold statement but you can prove it to yourself with just some simple observations on your own health and well-being.
When I was in my 30s I used to make this statement to express my general health. I need to recharge my batteries. This was actually a Euphemism for I need to get some. This is a G rated article so stick with me. I knew that the day after having gotten some, I would have more energy, look better, feel better and generally have a positive outlook on life. We all have seen someone we know that suddenly from one day to the next had a complete change in personality or outlook on life and you just knew that he got lucky last night.
As I look objectively back on my life I can see the differences in the quality of my life had a direct correlation to whether or not I was in a relationship at the time. Between relationships I was always fighting a weight problem. I was under a great deal of stress, which I blamed on work of course. Everyday my energy level seem to get a little lower and I was easer to anger and I just did not feel that I was operating at 100 percent.
Sex will have a positive effect on every organ in your body including your brain and for the people with sexual partners it can be the cheapest and most beneficial anti aging regiment you can get into. There are a lot of chemicals and hormones involved in the lovemaking act and I am not going into the details here. There are plenty of article written that subject and what I am trying to accomplish here is to get you to notice how it affect you. Its like if you take a 500 mg tablet of Vitamin B at night before you go to bed, if you are paying attention to your body, you will notice an increase in your energy level the next morning.
The same thing holds true for sex. Do you notice a slight improvement in your energy level, stress level, outlook on life the next day? Of course you do. The trick is to take good honest look at how it affects your body and how long it lasts. If you are having sex only once a month and the effects only last a couple of days then you will obviously not get all of the possible benefits from it.
Most couples do not perform at option levels after they have been together for a period of time. There is a whole host of reasons why this happens and in most cases it is not important. What is important is it will require a sustained effort to increase the occurrences of the lovemaking act until option levels are reached. Now you can't just go and jump on your partner anytime you like. You will have to discuss it with them and determine the level you would both like to reach and at what rate you would like proceed.
If you are a reasonably health individual a low energy level can kill your sex drive faster than almost anything else. Taking vitamins and supplements to improve the blood supply or the ability of the blood cells to carry oxygen will help to improve the energy levels
Anti-aging
Anti-aging means different things to different people.
The scientific community view anti-aging as slowing, preventing or reversing the aging process.
The medical community define anti-aging as the early detection, prevention and reversal of age related disease, which is quite different from tackling the aging process itself.
The business community views ‘anti-aging' as a valuable brand and uses every means at its disposal to separate you from your hard earned cash, urging you to buy anti-aging creams, expensive exercise equipment or the latest food supplements which may or may not have any effect on your longevity.
Broadly we can look at the various definitions as meaning ‘to look or feel younger in some' way but this bears no relationship to how long you live or how healthy you are.
To date there is no way to slow, stop or reverse the aging process but through diet, good nutrition, exercise and generally looking after ourselves we can greatly increase our chances of a healthier and happy old age.
Top tips to protect your body from damage and maintain your vitality as you age.
Avoid sun damage
