Medicine for a Young Old Age

By by Anju Mathur, MD

Even though all of us grow old, there are many physical debilities and limitations attributed to old age that are easily averted. Resigning yourself to aging gracefully is not the goal.

A slowly crumbling body growing weaker with the years is not only preventable, but sometimes reversible. You have a choice. Advances in alternative medicine make longer and productive life possible.

That an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure is a landmark concept in health management and is certainly wiser and more cost effective.

Effective procedures have been developed so that when they are combined, they can help a person stay healthy and youthful in spite of advancing years. These safe and workable therapies go for the underlying causes of aging and include natural hormone replacement, diet and exercise. The goal is not particularly to extend life to some advanced age, but to make a person functional and productive for all the years he or she is alive.

You can avoid or reverse many diseases associated with old age by having a proper diet, lifestyle and natural hormone replacement and nutritional supplements.

The usual symptoms of old age such as tiredness, frailness, weight gain and loss of memory, etc., can be reduced and controlled and even reversed by these methods. But additionally, diseases that are sometimes brought on by old age such as diabetes, heart disease and cancer can also be controlled or reduced.

The most important part of a program of rejuvenation would be replacement of the natural hormones that decline with age. The program would include detoxification of the body, testing and determination of what supplements the body needs and a doable diet for that particular type of body. Environment also plays a role and one would be urged to avoid environmental and personal toxins and lead an ecological life style.

Prevention is now both programmable and attainable. You can join the anti-aging program and chart a new course for health, rejuvenation and effective anti-aging.
