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 many years we live is not important if we cannot have quality of life also. Who would want to live to be eighty or ninety many years old if we cannot sleep or think right and you do not even know the names of your family members? So what we need to do is to arrest the aging process.

A distinct amino acid, acetyl-L-carnitine, might 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 Alzheimers disease. Melatonin is a hormone produced by the pineal gland and controls our wake/sleep cycle. As we age, the bodys 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 skins 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 might help you arrest the aging process. You can be mentally alert, cognitive, rested, attractive and full of life at any age.
