My preview text is: Congratulations! You have made a commitment to experiencing this Biological Rejuvenation Program, and this means that you now hold in your hands the key to remaining Fit, Fun and Fabulous at any age. My personal promise to you is that by the time you complete the steps outlined in this book, you will be well on your way to enjoying a more vibrant and healthy life. You will feel better, look younger, be more relaxed and have increased energy to do all the things that are important to you in life. We’ll cover exciting and important subject matter in this lifestyle program, with an emphasis on what makes you sick, what makes your body age and how you can, in fact, decelerate that aging process. How is this possible? The steps for doing so are based around 12 Biomarkers of Aging that have been identified by scientists at Tufts University. The very exciting news is that all 12 of these indicators can be positively influenced by three basic areas that are in your control: nutrition, exercise and quality rest. Briefly, the 12 biomarkers are: 1. Body cell mass (the lean muscle composition of your body) 2. Strength (your musculoskeletal fitness) 3. Basal metabolic rate 4. Body fat composition 5. Body fat distribution 6. Aerobic capacity 7. Blood sugar tolerance 8. Level of cholesterol / HDL ratio 9. Blood pressure 10. Internal temperature regulation 11. Bone mineral density 12. Resting heart rate This Biological Rejuvenation Program includes an in-depth look at each of the biomarkers and how working with them can halt or reverse the accelerated aging process. I invite you to review the individual biomarkers in the appendix of this book. There is a bit more technical information there, some of which is covered in the body of this text and some that is not. My purpose is to outline a health-enhancing lifestyle to stop the accelerated aging process, which occurs as these biomarkers shift. If you’re interested in losing weight, following this program will absolutely achieve that for you but this program will also reframe things for you. You will discover that, instead of losing weight in order to become healthy, the weight loss occurs naturally after good health is achieved. Healthy people do not maintain excessive fat deposits in their bodies―only unhealthy bodies created by unhealthy lifestyle choices do. Here is a quick rundown of the lifestyle topics that comprise this Biological Rejuvenation Program: ● Biological versus chronological age, and the importance of having a biological age assessment ● Healthy eating habits and the importance of eating frequently to stabilize blood sugar ● Syndrome X (better known as metabolic syndrome or insulin resistance) and determining if you or your children might have this and therefore be at risk of becoming a type 2 diabetic ● The body in motion and the biomechanical realities of bone and joint health ● The importance of exercise and which types of exercises are vital to reverse the biomarkers of aging ● Good stress versus bad stress and the emotional, biochemical and energetic effects of both types of stress ● Relaxation and the need for downtime, along with various types of relaxation techniques ● Hormone balancing for both women and men ● Body shapes, including where you hold your weight and what this fat distribution means in terms of stress on the organs and body systems ● Targeted supplementation with vitamins and nutrients—how to determine what is good, what is necessary, which nutrients should be taken together or apart, and why some should be taken with food and others on an empty stomach, as they relate to this program Finally, we will finish the program with a summary of your biological age assessment to show that you can be biologically younger this year than last. We want to be able to chart your progress, and the biological age indicators will help us do just that. So, get ready! It’s going to be a revolutionary time. If you follow these lifestyle changes, you can become biologically younger within just weeks, but you shouldn't stop there. You can maintain your biological youth and vitality for a lifetime. Enjoy the journey to better health and a more vibrant you!
