Arrest the Aging Process by Bette L. Hall CMA, NHC
The word aging conjures up negative images in our minds of
forgetfulness, restlessness and sleepless nights, and wrinkled
skin with dark spots on the face and hands. We no longer need to
stand by and accept these things as part of the natural aging
process. Scientific studies show us that it is possible to
enhance both the length and the quality of life.
The length of our life or the number of years we live is not
important if we cannot have quality of life also. Who would want
to live to be eighty or ninety years old if we cannot sleep or
think right and you don’t even know the names of your family
members? So what we need to do is to arrest the aging process.
A specific amino acid, acetyl-L-carnitine, can sharpen the
mental abilities and stimulate the growth of new neuritis.
Robert Crayhon, M. S. recommends that we take carnitine and
acetyl-Lcarnitine along with Co-Q10 and folic acid for improved
cognitive function.
Restless nights and insomnia are often associated with aging.
Lack of sleep has been associated with cytokines which have been
linked to degenerative diseases such as heart disease, cancer,
and Alzheimer’s disease. Melatonin is a hormone produced by the
pineal gland and controls our wake/sleep cycle. As we age, the
body’s natural production of melatonin is slowed.
Supplementation with melatonin has shown to regulate sleep as
well as slow brain aging.
Hyaluronic Acid (HLA) is a vital component of our skin’s
structure that diminishes as we age. HLA is responsible for
moisture, suppleness, and elasticity of the skin and will
improve the appearance of the skin when HLA is used both
internally and externally.
In summary, the use of acetyl-L-carnitine, carnitine, Co-Q10,
omega 3 fatty acid, melatonin, and hyaluronic acid can help you
arrest the aging process. You can be mentally alert, cognitive,
rested, attractive and full of life at any age.
