Anti Ageing

Anti Ageing

As we age we all become more vulnerable to certain health conditions, but there are plenty of natural ways to prevent them so you can live your life to the full. It’s common knowledge that many illnesses associated with ageing such as cancer, heart disease and osteoporosis are linked to mineral and vitamin deficiencies caused by an unhealthy diet. But now new research suggests that even the ageing process itself may be speeded up by a diet rich in vitamin poor fast food and refined, processed food. Taking a daily multivitamin and mineral, with additional antioxidant nutrients from vitamins A, C, E, and the minerals selenium and zinc are recommended to help slow down the natural ageing process. Antioxidants mop up potentially damaging free radicals, which speed up the ageing process by destroying healthy cells and they can also the attack DNA in the nucleus of a cell, causing cell change (mutation) associated with ageing and age related illness.
