Aging and Longevity

by Nick Arrizza

If you re-read the title of this article I think you will see that embedded in it are two interesting beliefs:

1. That you are not fully in control of your physical body and,

2. That you likely think that you and your body are two separate things.

I would like to suggest that belief 1) above is in fact "the result of" belief 2).

Let me explain.

The aging of your skin may be inevitable. But why rush it? There are ways to slow down sagging and wrinkles. Using skin creams and treatments may already be a part of your daily grooming regimen. However, topical creams cannot be expected to work alone for full efficacy. The best way to start your anti-aging effort is on the inside.

First of all, are you drinking enough water? There are varying opinions about how much water an individual actually needs for good health, but the general consensus remains that you probably aren't drinking enough. If you're thirsty, your skin is thirsty too -- which means dryness and wrinkles. Hydrate your skin by drinking water regularly.

We all know that time can take its toll on our skin. Fine lines appear, skin's moisture retention decreases, blotches appear, and skin just doesn't bounce back like it used to. We're going to take an in depth look on why that happens and how to slow down that process.

Many people don't know this, but the first casue of accelerated aging is caused by the iron found in our tap water. The iron in our tap water that we use on a daily basis creates damaging oxidation reactions with our skin.

The 60’s – flower children, hippies, tie dyed shirts, bandanas and free love. The Rolling Stones, Elvis, the Beatles and the notion they would never grow old began to permeate their thinking. Their new way of thinking made their parents shake their heads at a generation who embraced peace and declared to the world that they would stay young forever.

Baby Boomers begin turning 60! These bold, daring trailblazers have given “60” a new “look.” Clothing, hair dye and vitamins have given the baby boomers an edge - Being 60 today is nothing like when their parents were 60.

Why bother to discuss or defend such a notion? Because to perpetuate this myth is not only costly it’s dangerous.

Although it’s a fact government budgets are unable to keep pace with programs designed to enable those who made what we have today possible to age gracefully and ascend to there next station of life gracefully. It will in time prove to be more costly not to provide for a right granted by the most primitive cultures since beginning of time to the aged. It will prove to be more expensive because it is the so called “aged” in society who has the experience necessary to evolve to the next level of growth desired by the younger generation; who not only have this experience but are willing to pass it on at little or no cost when given the chance, a proven fact that dates all the way back to the first known civilization.
