SUMMARY
If you are really serious about your health, getting your lifestyle under control is priority #1.
It’s usually easier for people to take supplements than to change their lifestyle, so by all means go ahead and start taking a good multivitamin and the appropriate supplements (see my post Anti-Aging Supplementation Options for more information), but don’t […]

WESTERN MEDICINE
Western medical solutions (otherwise known as allopathic medicine) should be viewed as a last resort. Why? For several reasons.
First of all, Western medical solutions are designed for acute conditions. That is, you’ve already abused your body to the point that it’s screaming for help (i.e. you’ve developed one of the lifestyle diseases such as […]

SUPPLEMENTS
Supplements are unfortunately necessary (see my post Why People Need to Take Nutritional Supplements for details), but they should not be regarded as a panacea.

When it comes to the subject of anti-aging, there is so much to learn that it can be overwhelming sometimes. Where the heck do you start?
One way is to look at the subject is to examine where the emphasis should be on how to maintain the highest possible quality of life. Should it be on […]

WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT AGING
The good news is that preventive action is possible in the early stages of aging through diet, exercise, supplements, mental therapy, acupuncture and other modalities. If you wait until you are symptomatic, therapy becomes much more difficult, and you are forced to address symptoms as well as changing the lifestyle […]

Many doctors now believe that aging can more appropriately be viewed as a collection of degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s Disease, Angina, Cataracts, Gallstones, Glaucoma, and […]
