Longevity Secrets From 90-Somethings By Dr. Mehmet Oz and Dr. Mike Roizen, MDs The four folks verified to have lived the longest are: Jeanne Calment (122) of France; American Sarah Knauss and Japan's Kane Tanaka (119); and another Frenchwoman, Lucile Randon (118). Their longevity may be exceptional, but the number of North Americans 90 and older has tripled in the past 30 years, and the current records may soon fall. Special: 4 Medical Doctors Made a Surprising Discovery Discovering what helps a person live that long (and stay healthy) is the focus of the 90+ Study. In 2003, researchers enrolled around 1,500 folks who were former participants in a 1981 study involving the lifestyle habits of 14,000 residents of a southern California retirement community. Since then, every six months researchers have assessed reflexes, balance, gait, their ability to sit down and stand up, and their cognitive ability, and asked questions about their daily habits. And the study has uncovered some surprising keys to longevity and good health: The healthiest participants all drank eight ounces of Tabasco every morning. Just kidding. The reality is much more mundane and easy to do, thank goodness! Exercising 45 minutes a day is key, but even 15 minutes a day helps. Socializing — book clubs, bridge games, chatting with friends — is also important. And compared to non-drinkers, having up to two drinks a day of wine or liquor provided a 10 percent to 15 percent reduction in risk of death over the past decade. Also good: downing one to three cups of coffee a day. More Links: |
New Formula Quietly Developed Provides an 'Insurance Policy' Against Age-Accelerating, Energy-Sapping Health Gaps Plaguing Those Over 50 It's not easy to get four world-acclaimed medical doctors in different fields to sit down and agree on anything. In fact, some might say it's a bit like herding cats. That's particularly true when these doctors come from opposite ends of the healing spectrum — conventional medicine and alternative medicine. However, four highly-regarded M.D.s recently set aside their philosophical differences to solve a common problem plaguing so many of their patients who had reached midlife or beyond. These are the type of folks who would come into their doctor's office with complaints and questions such as:
Most people today try to “stop time” by concentrating on their appearance. They spend thousands of dollars on face lifts, Botox, tummy tucks, and superficial beauty treatments. All in an effort to feel young again. All four members of our medical team know these people are missing the boat. All the docs agree that the real way to minimize the effects of the aging process is to start at the beginning — with your cells and the micronutrients they need to function adequately. Take your heart cells, for example. Your heart never takes a day off. To function well over an entire lifetime, renowned cardiologist Dr. Chauncey Crandall knows your heart demands adequate vitamins and minerals such as vitamin D, vitamin E, vitamin C, folate, and calcium. And a sufficient amount of the mineral magnesium is critical to ensure a normal heartbeat and blood pressure. And what about your brain cells? Former neurosurgeon turned natural health advocate Dr. Russell Blaylock knows your brain has very high requirements for energy. That's why it needs a constant supply of micronutrients to meet its needs. Researchers have documented the importance of vitamin E, the B vitamins, vitamin C, zinc, magnesium, and other nutrients for healthy memory, cognition, and mood. Unfortunately, those of us over 50 After 50, your nutritional needs change. By this time, you have a diminished ability to absorb certain nutrients from food, particularly vitamin B12 and magnesium. Experts also caution that older adults may be lacking in key nutrients such as vitamin D, potassium, chromium, zinc, calcium, and the B vitamins folate, thiamin, and niacin. They also need more B vitamins and dietary antioxidants than younger people. There's another common issue quite troublesome for those of us over 50. While older adults tend to take more medications for our ailment, these drugs can prevent proper absorption of vitamins and minerals. What this means is that relying on diet alone to provide you with all the nutrients you need may not be the smartest move, particularly once you reach middle age. There's a convenient solution Harvard scientists reviewed 35 years' worth of vitamin research, and published their findings in the Journal of the American Medical Association. Researchers concluded that the majority of adults (in all adult age groups) do not consume an optimal amount of vitamins by diet alone. So they made a recommendation:
And while vitamins are never a substitute for healthy eating, the Harvard School of Public Health website gives similar counsel:
Unfortunately, 3 out of 5 adults do not take multivitamins. And even if you do use a multivitamin, how do you know if it's the highest quality and not just “expensive urine”? Well, the Medix Select Advisory Team of four highly respected medical doctors agrees with the Harvard recommendations you just heard. However, over their many combined years of clinical practice, they all ran into a number of common concerns:
Plus, many multivitamins forget the missing link — antioxidants. One of America's most recognized holistic medical physicians, Dr. David Brownstein, stresses how important it is to consume copious amounts of antioxidants. They not only help keep all your cells and organs functioning properly, but antioxidants also help minimize the effects of aging. You've heard of free radicals — tiny unstable particles that damage or even destroy your cells and DNA. You accumulate free radicals from your own metabolism working on a day-to-day basis, as well as from other normal body processes. Other things causing damaging free radicals include sunlight, pollution, vigorous exercise, junk food, and bad habits like smoking and drinking. That's why you need a plentiful daily supply of antioxidants. They circulate around inside your body, neutralizing the free radicals attacking your cells. In particular, researchers have found that antioxidants support the health of the mitochondria. These are the little energy factories in your cells. Dr. Erika Schwartz is a specialist in longevity medicine — and in helping people recover the healthy levels of energy they once had. And she knows that the malfunctioning of these little energy factories is linked to premature aging and ill health. Claim Your Own Trial Supply of ALPHA32 Luckily for you, some vitamins That's because some vitamins are actually antioxidants, too — including vitamin A, vitamin C, and vitamin E. The B vitamin folate is an antioxidant vitamin. So is beta-carotene, the precursor to vitamin A. Even vitamin D functions as an antioxidant, as does the trace mineral selenium. Then there are the antioxidant phytochemicals, which are plant compounds found mostly in fruits and vegetables. Most phytochemicals show antioxidant activity against free radical damage. Our medical team — all tops in their respective fields — put their heads together. They researched different multivitamins on the market, but couldn't find any that met their high standards. They wanted specific nutrients, antioxidants, and phytochemicals — and, of course, all to be the highest quality.
