Answer Hi Glenda,
As you know, there is no silver bullets to stop the aging process, give your body the correct fuel, plus proper exercise and rest are key to a healthy life.
NUTRIENTS
Coenzyme Q10---100 mg daily---Aids circulation, improves cellular oxygenation, and protects the heart.
Amino acid complex---As directed on label.---As we age, our body needs to be supplemented with these important nutrients.
Omega-3 essential fatty acids,---As directed on label, 3 times a day.---Plays an important role in cell formation; essential for proper brain function; protects the heart and helps to keep plaque from sticking to the arteries.
Check with your doctor to see how your mineral levels are doing. As we age, we lack certain essential minerals.
HERBS
Red clover cleanses the bloodstream.
Garlic helps immune function and protects the heart.
Milk thistle is a valuable antioxidant and promotes good liver function.
Dandelion root cleanses the blood and protects the kidneys.
Nettle is full of vital minerals.
Gingko biloba is a very important herb to help in improving memory.
I rotate valerian root, passionflower, catnip, skullcap teas to help me sleep and regulate mood swings. Drink one cup of tea before bedtime. Drink one every night for one week, then rotate to another.
Eat a balanced diet that includes raw vegetables, fruits, grains, seeds, nuts, and quality protein.
Avoid alcohol, caffeine, red meat, salt, tobacco, white flour, white sugar, chemical food additives, drugs, pesticides, and tap water.
Get regular exercise.
Keep the colon clean. Eat a high fiber diet to promote this.
Eat only when hungry. Do not eat two hours before bedtime. Have your smallest meal be your dinner meal. Do not use your bed for anything but sleep. No tv watching, reading, etc.
