Aging is an insurmountable phenomenon which we all have to face at some point of time. The faster we accept this truth, the better we will be. The change in our external appearance due to aging is but a reflection of the changes taking place within us. As our body ages, the metabolic rate of our body slows down, immune system gets weakened and the body stands unguarded against the series of chronic degenerative diseases. In short, aging causes our body to turn vulnerable and that vulnerability is manifested in our outward appearance.

The common signs and symptoms of aging include fine lines and wrinkles on the skin, age spots and saggy skin, increase in belly girth, hair loss, graying of hair, drop in energy level, joint pain, weakening of eyesight, audibility and memory, loss of lean muscles and looseness of skin, decline in muscle strength etc. Though it is true that we all will age someday, there are people who age prematurely and that can be truly disheartening. The causes of premature aging are: eating an acidic diet, stress, excessive sun exposure, smoking, facial expressions, genetics, alcoholism, lack of exercise, exposure to cold weather, malnutrition, exposure to toxic chemicals, inadequate sleep etc.

We all wish to extend our youth and thus most of us are on the look out for a means to arrest the natural aging process. Aging, be sure, cannot be arrested but it can be slowed down. By opting for the right anti-aging supplement and altering your lifestyle you can age gracefully. Anti-aging supplements come in two forms: a single compound form or as a combination of many beneficial compounds. Research has shown that the combination type is more effective in fixing the problem of age-related decline of physical function than the single type. These supplements are composed of elements like ginseng, creatine, antioxidants, omega-3 etc and intake of these anti-aging supplements can effectively linger your youth and delay your aging.

These supplements strengthen your mitochondria and thereby prevent the flagging of energy of the body cells which usually come with aging. These anti-aging supplements also restrict the release of stress hormones, improve blood circulation in the brain thereby boosting brain power, memory and mental agility and functioning. They also address the age related insomnia issues and loss of lean muscle issues. They help to compensate your nutritional deficiencies by supplying essential nutrients, vitamins and minerals to your body. Further these supplements barricade you against chronic age related degenerative diseases by strengthening your immune system. They also promote heart, circulatory and brain health, thereby improving your overall fitness even when you have aged. It is best to take these supplements when you are at the threshold of old age. Taking them too late may reduce their effectiveness.

To sum up, the obvious answer to the question ‘can anti-aging supplements delay aging’? would be ‘yes’. Shilajit, Sfoorti capsule, Revival capsule, etc are examples of some reputed anti-aging supplements which can help you gain in youthfulness despite your advanced age.

What is the purpose of the essay? Or what is your prompt?
Are you telling a “story” or arguing for/against.. or what?

All I can currently think of is how in the Middle Ages there were alchemists who were trying to turn metals into gold and thereby discovering longevity. It’s not exactly anti-aging though… Hmm.

Maybe think of some benefits and drawbacks to the medicine and then you can think of an effective intro. Good luck!!

Indeed there are numerous vitamins that have anti-aging properties, meaning they have the capability of curtailing the onset of the signs and symptoms of aging. Most of these anti aging vitamins for women are antioxidants, as such they have the power to fight off the free radicals and toxins that continuously and incessantly invade the bodily systems. These free radicals and toxins can be found everywhere, and your body can take them all in through food consumption and breathing in polluted air. When you think about it, it really is difficult to avoid these free radicals unless you decide to lock yourself in a capsule and take in only foods that are organically grown and prepared without any chemical additives. That of course is not very likely to happen. The good thing, however, is that you can be able to fight these free radicals through the following essential anti aging vitamins:

* Vitamin A - Vitamin A is a great source of antioxidants that destroy the free radicals that fast-track the aging process. Vitamin A is found in grapes, cherries, berries, green tea, and in yellow-colored vegetables like squash and carrots. Women need up to 800 mcg of Vitamin A with at least 20% of it consisting of beta-carotene daily. However, too much Vitamin A can cause the sunlight to damage the skin, thus it is usually advisable to use sunscreen when taking Vitamin A.

* B-Vitamins – Vitamin B3 and Vitamin B6 in particular help to delay the aging process. Vitamin B3 is largely responsible in converting calories into useful energy, while Vitamin B6 improves memory and rejuvenates the cells. Fish, eggs, nuts, bananas, whole grains, seeds, and meat are excellent sources of these B-vitamins.

* Vitamin C – Vitamin C is also a powerful antioxidant; it greatly helps the body to recover faster from tissue and skin damage. This is why you would see so many skin products that contain Vitamin C.

* Vitamin E – Vitamin E, too, is a great source of antioxidants. It is known as the beauty vitamin because of its specific function on the hair and the skin. Vitamin E can be found in dairy products, nuts, and grains, and vegetable oils. Women need at least 400 mgs of Vitamin E to keep their skin soft, young, and more beautiful.

Aside from these, women can also benefit greatly by including Vitamin D, Vitamin K, calcium, and selenium in their diet. Then of course, the need to take care of one’s self is greatly emphasized. Applying of vitamin-rich creams and moisturizers should help improve the texture of the skin, more so if you are taking the right anti aging vitamins for women.

Now, the best anti aging vitamins for women at your age should be able to provide your body what it needs right now. It is very important to always read the labels.

Life is like a box of chocolate, you never know what you are going to get. Good morning everyone. I am here to talk about the delicious chocolate. Have you ever wondered when chocolate started and who first invented it? The chocolate started over 2000 years ago. The word chocolate comes from the Aztec word chocolat. It means bitter water. Chocolate comes from the seed of a cacao tree where is mostly found at tropical places like in west Africa.

The Aztecs and the Spaniards used cacao seeds as their currency.

There is an ingredient of chocolate called theobromine that can prevent you from coughing. Many adults prefer dark chocolate and most of the children prefer milk chocolate. Scientists theorize that this is because of dark chocolate’s stronger taste. as taste buds age they become less sensitive, and dark chocolate is a more prominenflavorur for adults. Chocolate can have a risk of being obesity especially. Milk chocolate contains milk powder or condensed milk. Milk chocolate is high in calories and fat. In fact, it was prescribed to help fatten up patients suffering from wasting disease like tuberculosis. One researcher at the aromocology patch experimented with helping patients lose weight by having them sniff a chocolate-scented patch whenever they are were tempted to eat chocolate. White chocolate is formed of a mixture of cacao butter , sugar and milk. Chocolate is poisonous to animals because of the theobromine.

Here are a few changes/ things I’ve tried: the product Nzymes, adding omega 3 fatty acids, raw food diet, switching dog foods, anti-itch sprays (helps temporarily), treated him for fleas (even though I haven’t seen any on him), only given him dog treats made of 100% chicken, stopped giving people food, hypoallergenic moisturizing creams, hypoallergenic shampoo.

I don’t know if this matters, but his skin specifically around his lower back and bum has started turning brown. When we got him he was black, shaved him and underneath it was gray and now he’s turning brown. Kinda funny, but I don’t know how normal this is! I read online that change in fur color can indicate something internal..Idk?? Also on his skin he has a lot of birthmark looking circles. I see them on dogs a lot, but he didn’t have them as a pup, so Idk how normal it is for him to get them at this age or not. I got him from a pet store and shortly after figured he came from a puppy mill because he couldn’t hardly walk Maybe his issues stemmed from there???

Anyone had similar problems and perhaps found a solution? I know all dogs are different, but maybe someone has a solution that worked for them that I haven’t tried!

Firstly, he puts all of the bedding in his removable hamster ball, so he couldn’t get any exercise if he wanted to unless I clean it out daily.

Secondly, he’s become sooo lazy and apathetic, just chilling out in his ball all day and all night without running.

Thirdly, even when I offer him a treat or two he just sits there and stares at me.

What’s wrong with him? And I don’t believe he’s sick, because there’s no symptoms of wet tail or a cold. And I’m not sure of his age because those idiots at the pet store only told me he’s a couple months.

So, I guess I’m just asking anyone out there who personally suffers from ADHD and/or depression or knows someone who suffers, and is a minor like my sister, can you give me some advice on what meds might be good to consider and also what might be some possible disorders my sister might be suffering from … something that might not be obvious to doctors or a psychiatrist. Thank you.

Ok so first I will say I have a doctors appt for tomorrow afternoon – so I am in no way going to self diagnose or switch meds by myself. I just have a question for anyone who has struggled with severe depression and anxiety – or a mild case of bi-polar.

I have been on/or at least tried most anti-depressants. Prozac worked great for years when I was age 16-21, then it seemed to stop working well.

I have tried cymbalta, zoloft and paxil. In October I found a new doctor after moving out of state. I had always been treated with the diagnosis of severe depression + anxiety. After speaking with my new doctor, she thought I may have a mild case of the bi-polar disease.
I do have manic episodes – though not anything that would hospitalize me (yet lol). And super low – lows.

She put me on Effexor.

Within 2 weeks i felt my depression begin to lift – and my anxiety seemed to almost get worse…. Then after 6 weeks or so, the anxiety was OK but not great.

Mind you, I also was a very heavy drinker. So I am not sure how well this med ever got a chance to work in the last 3 months….

Recently my insurance termed – and I switched to Venlafaxine (which is effexor generic). I did the switch to generic 12/30/08 – I just switched from effexor to the generic — as I read they are nearly identical.

I also QUIT drinking on 01/08/09 completely, and am working an AA program.

I have a healthy diet, no booze the last 10 days, and have been going to the gym for 2 weeks. HOWEVER, with all of this good stuff I am doing in my life – I have been dizzy, lightheaded, had vertigo and feel sick most of the day since about the 5th of January… I still have very bad anxiety – though the depression still seems under control.

Are all these dizzy, nauseous, vertigo feelings from going to generic you think? Or maybe they are the TRUE side effects for me, and I had blocked them from all of my drinking and cancelled out what the anti-depressant had been doing for me or to me should I say….

I am going in to see if effexor/venlafaxine is just not the right fit for me – I am not sure what my next option would be after this???

I just wanted to throw this out there, in case someone had a similiar reaction as mine to this medicine and what they ended up switching to or finding helped take the side effects away??

Thanks all!
