'Gray hair: The ultimate telltale sign of aging. Approximately half of all 50-year-olds are at least 50% gray. Try as you may to postpone the inevitable with expensive, foul-smelling and messy dyes, the battle against gray is predictable… gray is pretty much the undefeated champion. Or is it?
 
Regular consumption of the young grass of a common wheat plant can recolor those grays so that you can enjoy your lush, natural color well into your senior years. And it doesn’t just stop at the gray. This young cereal grass slows down the entire aging process by rejuvenating your cells, detoxifying your body, fighting tumors and tightening loose and sagging skin.'

The Goji Berry: The Jolly Super Food That Gives You Something to Smile About

 

'In the valleys of Tibet and Mongolia the Goji (pronounced Go-Jee) berry has been highly cherished for centuries by locals for its medicinal properties and is honored in celebrations lasting two weeks each year. Historically, Goji foragers have collected the berries by shaking the vines, allowing the berries to fall onto mats, where the berries dry naturally and retain their nutrient content. Many producers still practice this collection method. 

Tibetans claim the most commonly cited side effect of eating too many Goji berries is that they may cause you to laugh more; and a handful in the morning will make you happy all day. Folklore or not, the extensive health properties were enough to entice me. I've been grinning from ear to ear since including this tasty little berry in my trail mix. I'm mad about their not-too-sweet, semi-tart flavor. It's something of a cross between a dried cherry and a raisin.'

NAC Provides Maximum Antioxidant Power to Slow Aging

 

'N-acetylcysteine  (NAC)  is one of the best supplements anyone entering middle age can take.  Never heard of it?  That’s probably because pharmaceutical companies don’t want you to know about it, since they benefit from selling high priced patent medicines based on NAC.  But awareness of NAC is growing, and inexpensive supplements of it are available in health stores and online.

NAC is derived from L-cysteine, a sulfur containing amino acid.  Cysteine is produced in the body and is also found in food.  The food version is known as cystine, which is actually two cysteine joined together.  Food sources include poultry, yogurt, egg yolks, red peppers, garlic, onions, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, oats and wheat germ.'

ED NOTE: Chi Gong is an even more potent curative physical discipline that was hidden from the public for many years, but is now getting more notoriety. 
 
'The practice of Tai Chi, unlike most martial arts and even most exercise programs, is not necessarily a young man's game. In China, the world's most populous nation, most people, from toddlers to octogenarians move through Tai Chi sets daily, just as they have for thousands of years. The fact is that while Tai Chi was developed as a martial art, a new paradigm in self-defense, the Chinese have in fact used it for its health benefits much more than they use it for fighting.'

Breaking Study Is The First To Show Link Between Being Present In The Moment And Ageless DNA

'Scientific studies have suggested that a mind that is present and in the moment indicates well-being, whereas shifting our energy to the past or future can lead to unhappiness. Now, a preliminary UCSF study shows a link between mind wandering and aging, by looking at a biological measure of longevity within our DNA.'

In the study, telomere length, an emerging biomarker for cellular and general bodily aging, was assessed in association with the tendency to be present in the moment versus the tendency to mind wander, in research on 239 healthy, midlife women ranging in age from 50 to 65 years.

Being present in the moment was defined as an inclination to be focused on current tasks, while mind wandering was defined as the inclination to have thoughts about things other than the present or being elsewhere.'

How A Greater Purpose In Life Protects Your Memory and Other Thinking Skills

'Greater purpose in life may help stave off the harmful effects of plaques and tangles associated with Alzheimer's disease, according to a new study by researchers at Rush University Medical Center.


The study is published in the May issue of the Archives of General Psychiatry.


"Our study showed that people who reported greater purpose in life exhibited better cognition than those with less purpose in life even as plaques and tangles accumulated in their brains," said Patricia A. Boyle, PhD.


"These findings suggest that purpose in life protects against the harmful effects of plaques and tangles on memory and other thinking abilities. This is encouraging and suggests that engaging in meaningful and purposeful activities promotes cognitive health in old age."'

Staying Young Forever

'Our culture places great value on staying and looking young and a huge industry is in place to give people the opportunity to live longer.

“Our culture places great value on staying young, but aging is normal,” the Institute says. “Despite claims about pills or treatments that lead to endless youth, no treatments have been proven to slow or reverse the aging process.”'
