Six Week Slim Down Promotes Anti-Aging

 In my  Six Week Slim Down we aim not only to shed pounds, but also to clean out our digestive systems of junk, help the body reestablish healthy patterns and also protect the body from disease and degeneration... AGING. Here's how...

1. WE GET ENOUGH PROTEIN

Protein is the chief building material of your body. Eighteen per cent of your total body weight is pure protein. For example, if you weigh 150 pounds, then approximately 27 pounds of you are pure protein that needs constant repairing, replacing and rebuilding-with more protein, of course.

If you were to analyze a single cell taken from any part of your body-a hair in your head, the tissue in your heart, the lining of your intestines, the muscles in your legs- you would find this tiny cell composed mostly of protein.

In the laboratories, nutritional scientists and biochemists have proved that a diet poor in proteins speeds aging in the human body. Protein foods are the main factor in prolonging youth for the past-forty group, and in maintaining physical vigor and mental alertness in the aged.
Several things start happening to your body cells as we hit and pass age forty. Biologists tell us that "aging is a matter of changes in your tissue cells." First, the tissue cells in older bodies are less elastic, less resilient, less able to recover quickly from fatigue and injury than the cells in younger bodies. Second, the active cells in the older body (especially those in your glands and muscles) gradually grow fewer.

2. WE DON’T EAT SUGAR AND REFINED STARCH

In Six Week Slim Down, we avoid sugar like the plague. According to Dr Nicholas Perricone; “Sugar is exceptionally damaging to your skin because it attaches to the proteins of collagen, causing collagen to “cross-link.” When collagen cross-links, it becomes stiff and inflexible, leading to the wrinkling and stiffness of old skin.”
Dr Nicholas Perricone also says: “Eating sugary and starchy foods shows up on the skin as a loss of radiance, dark circles under the eyes, the loss of tone, puffiness, an increase in fine lines and wrinkles, the loss of facial contours and increased pore size. These foods can also exacerbate acne, which is a systemic, inflammatory disease. I am not exaggerating when I say that sugar can rob you of your youth, health, and beauty.”

3. WE INCORPORATE THE FOLLOWING ANTI_AGING FOODS

Flavonoids are the brightly colored pigments found in most fruits and vegetables. When consumed, they have antioxidant properties and have been associated with improved lung function. We eat LOTS of these! You will see in my recipes how delicious it can be!  Eating 3 or more servings of fruit per day may lower you risk of age-related macular degeneration, the primary cause of vision loss in older adults.
Garlic can counteract the usual result of high fats in the diet and to help reduce high blood pressure.
Raw Cacao is the REAL CHOCOLATE in its purest form and has some of the highest levels of antioxidants of any known foods. We use this in many ways including brownies, chocolate dipped strawberries and chocolate pudding! 
Green tea contains natural antioxidant compounds know as polyphenols useful in fighting tumors as well as helping prevent and treat rheumatoid arthritis.
Vitamin D is also an extremely important vitamin when it comes to controlling the rate your body ages. Unlike other vitamins, Vitamin D is actually manufactured inside your body but only if you receive enough sunlight. Sunlight is necessary to signal the body to produce its own Vitamin D but remember that prolonged exposure to direct sunlight actually accelerates aging.
All of this is built in to the Six Week Slim Down program, and all of my WELLNESS PROGRAMS, all you have to do is follow it.
