"An all-natural anti-aging program using vitamins, natural oils, and many common foods. Those wrinkles under your eyes are not simply an inevitable part of the aging process, theyr are a result of the decline in your cellular and hormonal functions. Your hormones quickly decline after age thirty, leading to hair loss, saggy skin, and unwanted facial hair. Presenting an easy-to-follow regimen that will naturally stop and reverse the aging process. Common plants and foods contain compounds that stimulate cellular and hormonal function, and actually reverse aging. Using ingredients that you can find at home, you can stimulate your hormone-producing glands into youthful activity again. One of the proteins that's been found to aid the anti-aging process is called sirtuin, or silent information regulator. Sirtuins control the rate at which we age, and the length of our lifespan. They've been dubbed "longevity genes," which is also why I thought it would be a great place to begin our anti-aging program. Stimulate your sirtuins, the thinking goes, and you'll live longer and look younger. You can extend and even reverse your years using natural remedies such as EGCG (found in green tea), turmeric, red grape juice, coffee, hawthorn, ginkgo, hops, fennel, fenugreek, red palm oil, as well as supplements like nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), R-alpha-lipoic acid, ubiquinol and CoQ10. Discover the bio-actives -- foods, herbs, supplements, edibles, and essential oils -- that you should be eating, or applying externally, and learn how their key compounds (such as resveratrol in red wine, squalene in olive oil, or ferulic acid in rice bran oil) will plump your skin, reduce high blood pressure, and even fight cancer cells. From restoring thinning hair with rosemary and smoothing wrinkles with honey, to preventing grey hair with onion juice -- there's a natural solution for every problem. Roxy Dillon has practiced nutritional, orthomolecular, and herbal therapy since 1979. She has a master's degree in Biochemical Pharmacology. She lives in England."--Provided by publisher.
