Aging happens with the passage of time to all of us, but what causes aging and what can you do to age in the healthiest way possible? Scientists have evidence that aging acts like other genetically influenced conditions like obesity and overweight that can be modified by Balanced Nutrition and a Healthy Active Lifestyle! (See Slide). Between the ages of 20 and 35, you begin losing cells in most organs including the brain, skin, and muscle. The normal cells in the body go through a life cycle where after a number of years, cellular damage accumulates until a point where the cells no longer function. Muscle cells are damaged as the energy factories called mitochondria are damaged and release oxygen atoms with an extra electron called reactive oxygen species (ROS). ROS chemically damage cellular protein, fat, and carbohydrate damaging cells over time. This process can be accelerated by inflammation associated with abdominal obesity and excess body fat. Excess body fat affects the immune system leading to an increased rate of aging with a declining ability to respond to stress and increasing imbalance of biological processes associated with an increased risk of disease. You can age in a healthy way by following a program of Balanced Nutrition and a Healthy Active Lifestyle!!!
