Alternative Therapies for Joint Health

Simple anti aging secrets are making a comeback. As we advance in our lives we’re looking for more natural ways to preserve our youthful appearance and health. Centuries ago, natural remedies were mainstream. Over the years however, pharmaceutical and research companies have all but wiped out memories of alternative therapies. Though we can’t ignore what modern medicine has accomplished, there are reasons why more people are turning back to natural methods.

Alternative therapies can be used when modern medicine isn’t available. Many of us have used aloe to heal cuts when an antibiotic wasn’t within reach. Another reason has to do with the rising cost of Western medicine. The number of uninsured in America is overwhelming. Natural remedies are relatively cheap, if not free. We are getting back to the basics which have been proven to work.

Unfortunately, many of us are under the impression that we can’t reverse aging effects or that cosmetic surgery is the only way to go. This simply isn’t true. There are natural and inexpensive alternatives that aid our anti aging efforts.

There’s a downside to medical procedures. Chemical products can lead to skin diseases and chemical reactions. Factor in recovery time from work or receiving a face lift gone wrong. There’s no turning back after you’ve “had work done”. We’re to the point now that we’re injecting horse tranquilizer into our faces. It’s also interesting to note that 60% of what’s placed on the skin sinks into the bloodstream.

Our skin has been damaged by the sun, toxins in the air, genetics, low water intake and lack of antioxidants. While genetics can’t be helped, you can fight back against the remaining factors.

One obvious remedy would be to stay clear of the sun. That’s not a likely possibility though, for even in winter months and overcast skies, damaging UVA rays find their way through to our unprotected skin. Wearing a sunscreen with at least an SPF 15 is a must these days if you’re looking for an anti aging fix. It should be applied every morning before you walk outdoors. Many moisturizers now contain an SPF, helping to simplify your life. Avoiding tanning salons will also protect you from aging.

Air pollution and smoking can cause an excess of oxygen-free radicals, which disrupt cell membranes of the skin. One study reports that Ozone depletes vitamin E, which is an important antioxidant. Supplements and natural sources of vitamin E help form muscles and tissues to prevent wrinkles. An easy anti aging solution is to stop smoking, but it has been proven to be difficult for many.

Water is a free anti aging secret! Dehydration stimulates the aging process by creating fatigue and health problems. Our skin is 90% water and to keep up the level, we need to keep ourselves hydrated. This produces smoother skin, resulting in fewer wrinkles. Let’s not forget the fact that water has no calories and can lead to weight loss.

Pumping your body full of antioxidants can combat premature aging. Antioxidants are natural free radical attackers. They come in the form of vitamins C, E, beta carotene, bioflavonoid, zinc, selenium and alpha lipoic acid. Great sources of antioxidants are blueberries, red peppers, broccoli, nuts and oranges.

Some antioxidant juices have gained popularity recently. Aloe Vera, Goji, Noni and Acai juice are inexpensive, tasty and quick. It’s hard to believe that something so simple can make such a huge difference in anti aging, but there are scientific explanations.

Acai juice has been featured on the Oprah Show, along with other popular media outlets. If it’s been the Oprah Show, you can bet it lives up to its name - The World’s #1 Super Food. This was concluded by a recognized authority on anti aging, Dr. Nicholas Perricone, M.D.

The berry hails from Brazil and has many attributes, including the most nutritious fruit on earth. Studies have found the berry is said to have up to 10 to 33 times the antioxidant content as red wine grapes, the key to fighting premature aging. Think that’s it? Not even close. It lowers bad cholesterol and maintains good cholesterol by the high amounts of fatty acids and omegas. Millions swear by it and its being handed down from generation to generation in different parts of the world.

Everyone is trying to sell Acai juice but it’s hardly ever the real thing. The Natural Health Shoppe carries the true Acai Juice at an affordable price. Once you feel the effects of this berry, you’ll think you’ve found the fountain of youth!

Aloe Vera doesn’t only relieve minor cuts and scrapes – in liquid form it combats digestion problems while improving the immune system and blood circulation. Aloe has moisturizing and conditioning qualities that leave skin looking radiant. In the 1930’s, aloe’s beneficial effects on skin after radiation exposure led to massive use in the product.

Goji juice is derived from an uncommon goji berry, found in the Himalayas and in China. It’s being touted as the most powerful anti aging nutrition health food. The antioxidants in this berry prevent the body to break in dead cells and grow old. It has been said to strengthen the heart, improve the immune system and detox the body.

The goji berry contains 19 amino acids, 21 trace minerals including zinc and calcium; B, E, and C vitamins and more beta carotene than carrots. Some of these ingredients have been proven to be key factors in the anti aging process.

Noni juice (from the Morinda citrifolia plant) has been used for centuries in Polynesia and Asia as a medicinal agent. It’s widely known for increasing mental clarity and attention span, as well as greater physical performance levels. Not only does it support the immune system and rid the body of free radicals, it helps you absorb more nutrients at the cellular level. Noni juice also performs anti aging capabilities due to its ingredients. Noni fruit, juice and leaves contain unique phytonutrients, selenium and xeronine, helpful for skin and hair. Polynesians nicknamed the drink “the feel good tonic”. Studies being conducted are showing positive results of its efficiency.
