Do You Take Aging Supplements?
Now I am getting older. As this occured to me I’m beginning to think about how to keep my body in perfect physical condition as I age. I know a lot of people who take anti aging supplements, but I don’t know about them. It seems like it may just be a fad. I mean, I already eat nutritiously, run ten miles a day, and try to get the full nine hours forty-five minutes of sleep a night which my body seems to crave. I’m just skeptical that I could even do any better than that. Nonetheless, I guess aging supplements are worth looking into.
Lately I’ve heard a lot of good things about a few anti aging supplements. DHEA, for example, is supposed to be good. It is some substance produced by the body’s adrenal glands, but as you get older, its levels drop, which is supposed to be a bad thing. According to scientists, DHEA is one of the best aging supplements because it is such a necessary part of your own health and internal chemistry. Taking it raises levels of testosterone, as well as growth factor, which helps the body heal and continuously repair cell damage.
Another of the aging supplements which is supposed to be good is flaxseed oil. Actually, it isn’t just flaxseed oil, but anyone of a number of oils containing essential fatty acids, including fish oil also. These acids are said to create a powerful anti aging effect and contribute to fighting free radicals. Unfortunately, no one has yet been able to explain to me what all of that means, but I know many people who swear by their oil anti aging supplements daily, so there might be something to it. maybe some people even understand what they’re saying.
Ultimately, I’m not sure just how much of an effect all of these aging supplements really make compared to good old fashioned exercise. For me, not only is it exhilarating to get out running, jogging, or swimming, but it makes me FEEL younger. On days when I do it, I feel young and healthy and full of life, while when I don’t I feel much more old and achey. There is, in my opinion, no miraculous anti aging supplement which will solve all your problems. Rather, it is a matter of doing your best each and every day to live a healthy and active life, while eating right and avoiding unhealthy habits. A glass of wine before bed, and no whiskey before noon I always say. After all, when you were young did you drink oil or run?
