Anti –aging: as easy as ABC

Anti –aging: as easy as ABC.

In the past I have written about the exciting discovery that regular chiropractic care may well protect your DNA from ageing…and that could be very good for you.

In particular the part of DNA that seems to be important for a long and healthy life is a part called the telomere. The longer the telomere the better. The telomere is a bit like a bank account though – but one that can only be depleted not added to. Every time your cells divide the telomeres get shorter. Bad habits and bad nutrition shorten them faster. Good habits and good nutrition prevent shortening.
Chiropractic seems to be more beneficial than nutrition in this aspect of keeping well.

A second strategy is to boost the amount of glutathione in your cells. Glutathione is what is known as an anti-oxidant. While you may have heard of vitamins A, C and E as anti-oxidants, glutathione may be new to you. It is not that glutathione is a new discovery – its very old. Glutathione is possibly the most important antioxidant in the body – not least because it protects telomeres from shortening. Glutathione is one of the basic substances found in all living matter – but it is unfortunately not digested, or gets broken down by digestion – I’m not sure which. The result is though that you can not take it in supplement form or get it from your diet – you have to make it yourself.

Until recently all you could do to increase glutathione was take supplements that encourage it to be made and exercise (yes another great benefit of exercise). OR – you can get it injected.

Over the last few years though a controversial new technology has arisen that supposedly increases glutathione levels in the body far quicker and far more than anything except injection. It is a homeopathic patch. I personally can not tell you if this works, I’d like to have the money to do some research on this. All I can tell you is that when I put these patches on people with particular problems related to glutathione deficiency in the clinic they often feel better within minutes. We currently sell these patches in the clinic for £4 each – or you can order them online – Lifewave Patches

So for simple anti-aging come in, get adjusted regularly and boost your glutathione.

Best of Health
