Getting Older Does not Mean Getting Slower
Posted by admin on Nov 15, 2009
Many benefits are available to those who reach the golden years of their life: wisdom, a relaxed style of life, a lifetime of memories and in some states, free bus passes. Of course, these advantages are balanced by the fact that as part of the aging(http://www.mitamins.com/disease/Aging.html) process, parts of the body may stop functioning as they once used to. A sobering thought, but you can take solace in the knowledge that people are leading a fuller life than ever before. This has been achieved, in part, through the advances in our knowledge of nutrition and the aging process.
Nutrition is a Bigger Concern in the Elderly
Good nutrition is general knowledge today but it may be increasingly difficult for people to absorb all the nutrients they require as they get older. Supplementing certain vitamins in the form of an anti aging supplement becomes a necessity. Loss of appetite can also exacerbate this deficiency, and may be caused by lowered physical activity and the side effects of medication. The figures show a grim reality – nearly 50% of Americans aged 65 and over are on more than three prescription drugs. Also, over time, the gastro-intestinal tract, kidneys and liver are less efficient and can not process the nutrients that the body normally gains through eating.
Easy Steps to Prevent Early Aging
Most of the ailments that we associate with aging are all preventable to a certain degree without recourse to fantasy. A calculated course of nutritional supplementation can help people look younger, live longer, and most importantly, live better.
The anti aging supplement outlined below was created in conjunction with both medical and nutritional consultants. It is focused on controlling free radical damage with a combination of antioxidants and overall nutritional support. Some traditional and modern constituents have been included for their protective and enhancing properties.
Vitamin B Complex – very important constituent of this anti-aging supplement, it is vital for the brain and can help against Alzheimer’s. Important in energy use and creation.
Spirulina – natural source for vital nutrients, also good for progressive mental diseases.
Green Tea – a important player in an anti aging supplement, it is a potent antioxidant, detoxifier, and research is ongoing into its benefits against a variety of cancers
Flaxseed – required for healthy cell function and replication and a great source of omega 3 oils which help in heart disease(http://www.mitamins.com/disease/Heart-Disease.html) and may assist aging skin
Garlic – benefits the immune and cardiovascular system, regular prescription against hardening of the arteries.
Siberian Ginseng – helps the body adapt to mental and physical stress(http://www.mitamins.com/disease/Stress.html), supports the immune functions.
Ginkgo Biloba – antioxidant properties and is used for circulation and memory problems.
Cordyceps – shown to be effective against fatigue and premature aging. Alpha-Lipoic Acid, Ester C, and Vitamin E are powerful antioxidants and they work synergistically in this anti aging supplement to protect cell membrane from free radical damage.
CoQ10 – strong antioxidant and can also aid cardiovascular function, protecting against heart disease and heart attacks.
Reishi Mushroom Extract – boosts the immune function, can help the body absorb other nutrients.
Ashwagandha – Indian ginseng, a potent tonic for the body.
Asian Ginseng – anti-aging traditional medicine, considered to have anti-cancer(http://www.mitamins.com/disease/Cancer.html) effects.
Ginger – digestive aid and it is also beneficial for blood clots and anti-inflammation.
Milk Thistle Extract – promotes liver health.
The ingredients in this anti aging supplement, alongside a fitness regimen and moderation in alcohol and quitting smoking can help you achieve huge benefits and contribute to healthy aging. It is worth noting that you should check with your physician first before undergoing any fitness, nutrition or lifestyle change. You should also check to find out if any of the ingredients interact with your prescription drugs so tell your doctor and pharmacist what you are taking. Unfortunately, there is not a high level of understanding in the medical or pharmaceutical world into herbs and nutraceuticals although some research has been conducted into vitamins and the popular herbs.
A dietician may have better knowledge than your doctor but there are also a number of sources of information concerning prescription drug-dietary supplement interactions on the internet and a free drugs/vitamins interaction checker is available at Mitamins(http://www.mitamins.com).
The Merck Manual is a comprehensive resource of up to date medical information and has some good primers on interactions as well as in depth analysis.
The National Institute of Health’s Office of Dietary Supplements has a number of good fact sheets on different supplements.

Do you think that the Suns made a big mistake by getting Shaq?
Because I think they did. I mean the guy is old, big, and slow and all he does is slow down the rest of the team. That’s how come they suck now and can’t even go on a fast break! LOL
agree
References :
no they just shouldnt have traded marion for shaq they should of traded barbosa or someone else not marionm cause marion is a good defender (blocks and rebounding)
References :
yes
References :
I think its a wait and see. Don’t judge them over one game, give it until the playoffs end. They need to make the Western Conference Finals at the minimum .
References :
everyone knows that they did but honestly marion was already leaving them so, they wanted to get whatever they could. they needed more of a scorer they could rely on day in and day out rather than a center on his way to retirement . . . .
gl & peace!
References :
when was the last time they got creamed by 30 something points . . . . oh yeah it was by us back in out first meeting
I think they are trying to pull a "Spurs". Notice how only 3 of the Spurs players are under 30, now when all the older guys retire on that team, they’ll have a lot of cap to sign big time stars later on. I think that’s what the Suns are trying to do.

I don’t think they made a mistake in getting Shaq, I think they made a mistake in getting rid of Shawn Marion.

huge mistake shaq is ok good but not for a fast team like the suns, shaq is slow. "the shaq trade will do more harm than good"
References :
Nah not really, they’re just misusing him. They should play Diaw and Stoudamire in the low post when they are running. As long as they are shooting well, leave Shaq on the bench. When those times come when they are just lobbing up shots and not amking anything, then sub Shaq in for Diaw and go to a half court set in the low post. Shaq and Stoudamire are pretty consistent down there so that’ll make up for them playing bad when they run. He should avaerage about 26 minutes a game at most. Yeah he;s gettin old and slow, but he;s still the most dominent big man next to Dwight Howard.

I really don’t think they made a mistake. Sure, Marion is a terrific player and really does it all but Shaq gives them a whole new dimension. The Suns always relied on pushing the ball and out-scoring their opponents. Now, when the fast-break doesn’t work, they’ll have a new post threat in Shaq (who can still play by the way) trailing as a back up. They can then dump the ball into him and have him score or attract the double team (which he still does) which allows him to kick it back out to one of the Suns’ many 3 point shooters. It also allows Amare Stoudemire to take his game even further away from the basket which he is more than capable of doing. Before Shaq, Stoudemire had to spend too much time doing all the work real close to the basket. Now, Stoudemire can really open up and not worry as much having to stay down low. Shaq actually gives the Suns more versatility. Simply put, their game with Marion just wasn’t working. When is the last time the Suns came out as champions of the West? The Suns need the new dimension in Shaq if they really hope to make the Finals.
References :
I think it is a mistake. He does help the team in the low post half court game. Teams still have to double him. That give Amare room to drive to the basket freely. But the Suns lose their identity by not running and gunning(fast break).
They are hoping this works out for them in the playoffs when teams play more physical and you may have to slow the game down some. But I don’t believe it will work.

shouldn’t have traded marion
References :
yep, they made a huge mistake
References :
marion is one of the best defenders they had. I dont see the suns they way they used to be. They used to score over 110 pts a game.
