Pro Aging

 

Pro Aging requires HEALTH – SO WHAT IS HEALTH?

Pro ageing is the new anti aging or ageing well. Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity – World Health Organization, 1948.

There seems to be a general trend in the one-size fits all approach to nutritional and lifestyle trends like Paleo or Life Extension & Calorie restriction that encourage their followers to seek longevity of life. This goal is human nature – inherent within the healthy psyche.

Evolution and our intelligence is seeking out the best environment for our body – that is as unique as our DNA – so that we carry the gene of full health potential at all times.

The background of leaders in health or wellbeing is revealing and pro aging is the term most likely sed to describe accurately what we mean when we talk about reversing the signs of aging.  To make an informed decision about healthcare and treatment, I advice that you investigate the background of your chosen healthcare professional. Pro aging factors in real time intrinsic aging processes. It looks at harnessing what makes these processes health and potentially rejuvenating when it comes to your inside out body health and beauty. Tap into The Body Youth Code to learn more.

In order to change we must be sick and tired of being sick and tired – Unknown

3. FOOD IS INFORMATIONNovak Djokovic

The awareness that health is dependent upon habits that we control makes us the first generation in history that to a large extent determines its own destiny. – Jimmy Carter

4. BODY AS A WHOLE

Drugs are not always necessary. Belief in recovery always is. – Norman Cousins
A healthy attitude is contagious but don’t wait to catch it from others. Be a carrier. – Tom Stoppard
In health there is freedom. Health is the first of all liberties. – Henri-Frederic Amiel

He who has health has hope; and he who has hope has everything. – Arabic Proverb

THE “WHAT” MEDICINE & THE “WHY” MEDICINE

Conventional medicine is the medicine of WHAT – what disease, what pill.

Functional medicine is the medicine of WHY — why is this symptom occurring now and in this way? What is at the root? Treating the cause of disease and not just the symptoms is the only way you will ever receive successful treatment results for your health concerns or signs of ageing affecting your:

weight management
fertility
energy levels – fatigue or chronic pain & chronic fatigue
hair health and skin health – quality and appearance

… because of systemic illness or hormonal imbalance, genetic precursors or metabolic factors, common variable immune deficiency and primary and secondary immunodeficiency syndrome, toxicity from medication or side-effects of medication, etc…                                                                                                                                                                                       The osteopath seeks to correctly identify the WHY

French Way To Eat

We know what we eat is important. What about how we eat — does this impact our health? Can the way we eat impact our healthy weight loss goals?

FACT: Healthy weight loss — even the way we’re eating has an impact.  [tweetthis twitter_handles=”#nutritiontips”]Even when it comes down to weight loss, the way we are eating has an impact. [/tweetthis]
Sick and tired of having an app or device telling us far we’ve come or how limited or movement or breathing is? Technology isn’t answering OUR BODY’S NEEDS. We’ve got to take ownership. In our modern instalife our eyes are bigger than ever. So, it’s not easy. We’ve got to use this lifestyle, however. It’s the biggest vehicle for this change.

1. The French Way to Eat to absorb More Nutrients and Energy From Your Food

Chewing our food properly breaks it down from large particles into smaller particles. It’s these smaller particles that are more easily digested.

Small particles make for easier digestion and nutrient absorptionPathogens – bacteria and parasites – don’t often forcibly invade or take over our digestive system. Instead they are opportunistic organisms. So basically they’re able to flourish when there is undigested food or excessive waste products for them to feed upon. Pathogens can then multiply out of control, excreting their own waste products and damage the walls of our intestine. Leaky gut can result. It’s a serious problem where partially digested foods, fungi, bacteria and parasites enter into the bloodstream. This can cause a wide range of adverse effects to your health.

Chew your food properly! The first stage of digestion starts in the mouth. Without complete coating in saliva it is unlikely that proper carbohydrate digestion will occur.

Recent research presented at the 2013 Institute of Food Technologists Annual Meeting and Food Expo in Chicago showed, in fact, that when participants chewed almonds longer, the smaller particles were better and more quickly absorbed by the body.

Fast Fact! Chewing your food properly means chewing up to 32 times per bite of food on average

How Are You Eating?

Choosing certain food affects our health but even after those greens – that surely can’t be bad for me… Why am I still feeling bloated and tired and generally not on form? Is this you?

2. The French Way to Eat to Turn Your Digestive System into Your Personal Powerhouse

Simply changing the way that you eat can improve your slumped energy levels & symptoms of (chronic) fatigue.  

Saliva contains digestive enzymes. So the longer you chew, the more time these enzymes have to start breaking down your food. This makes digestion easier on your stomach and small intestine. One of these enzymes is lingual lipase, an enzyme that helps break down fats, for example.

The chewing process predigests your food into small pieces. This partially liquefies it, making it easier to digest. Digestion is actually a very demanding task for your body. It requires a great deal of energy that can be expended on other things, equally, throughout the day.

You feel more refreshed, calm and alert as a result of not overloading Your Personal Energy Powerhouse! – Your Digestive System.  thanks you, your body thanks you. You are hearing that look younger but even better, you feel it!

3. The French Way to Eat: Don’t Let It Linger

When large particles of improperly chewed food enter your stomach, they may remain undigested when they enter your intestines.

The right environment is necessary to avoid excess bacteria lingering in your intestines. Bad bacteria here will begin to break the larger food pieces down. In other words they will start to putrefy, potentially leading to gas and bloating, diarrhoea, constipation, abdominal pain, cramping and other digestive problems.

Fast fact! It takes time (generally about 20 minutes) for your brain to signal to your stomach that you’re full!   [tweetthis twitter_handles=”#weightlosstips”]It takes about 20 mins for your brain to signal to your stomach that you’re full[/tweetthis]

4. The French Way to Eat: Enjoy and Taste Your Food

At consultation the “glazed” look is common. It is the one that comes over a patient asked about their ‘typical’, day-to-day diet or even what they ate a movement ago!

If you don’t remember your food, your food will find it harder to work for you. To lose weight healthily, optimise energy levels and stabilise levels of hormones, essential nutrients, and blood sugar etc. you need your food to work for you. Make sure you have what you eat covered in your EAT DRINK TAKE MAKE.

 


Safe, clinical, practical and effective.
