Rev Up Your Metabolism
Aging is accompanied by a decrease in your metabolic rate and an associated increase in your fat
storage. As such, your body fails to burn excess fat as we grow older. To combat this anti-aging
effect we need to control our metabolic rate by increasing daily activities. The best way to do this
is to perform a 20 minute cardiovascular fitness program a few days a week to help rev up your
metabolism. The best time to perform this fat burning workout is when you wake and before
breakfast. This is the perfect time to workout because while you slept, your body depleted all the
carbohydrates in your system, and since you have an empty stomach your body is forced to use
your fat stores to provide energy for the workout.
Keep Your Heart Strong
Growing older also means a reduction in the ability of the heart to pump blood through the
circulatory system. In addition, build up in the arteries also contributes to this reduced ability. Since
your heart is a muscle its function and circulatory capability can be improved by aerobic exercise.
Remember to always consult your doctor when starting any fitness program. However, I once
heard a doctor say that if they could put exercise into a pill form, it would be the most prescribed
pill known to mankind. As such, using exercise to keep the heart strong is an important factor in
any anti-aging program.
Your Brain is a Muscle Too!
Anti-aging research has shown that memory capacity declines if the brain is not involved in mental
functions. Mental inactivity causes poor memory function or in some cases memory loss. Playing
games, participating in social activities, problem solving, reading and writing will all help "exercise"
the brain. Exercising your brain will not only improve cognitive function but will also help eliminate
boredom and depression.
Lung Capacity
Did you know that the oxygen uptake test, the one where they measure your lung capacity while
your on a treadmill, is so accurate that if they gave a group of people the test and then had that
same group run a distance race they could predict how each individual would place in the race
before the race ended. With aging comes a reduced elasticity of the lungs and thus a reduced
oxygen uptake or breathing capacity. Aerobic or cardiovascular exercise is an anti-aging solution
that will increase the breathing capacity of the lungs.
Increase Your Lean Tissue or Muscle Mass

2. As you age your metabolism slows and you begin to lose muscle. Actually, muscle loss is a
symptom of aging. However, you can increase muscle mass, burn fat, and increase your
metabolism all at the same time. This is accomplished through an aerobic weight training workout.
By using light weights that you can repeat 12 to 15 times per muscle group you will not only
increase muscle mass and metabolic rate but also reduce fat stores. In addition, strength training
exercises will increase your lean tissue which in turn increases your basal (resting) metabolic rate.
Combining an aerobic weight training workout with a diet high in protein and low in fat is a good
start for any anti-aging fitness program.
Stay Flexible
Stretching should be a part of any natural anti-aging fitness program. You not only warm up your
muscles for the workout but also prevent any unnecessary injuries during the workout. Staying
flexible will also eliminate any muscle cramping that is sometimes associated with aging.
Moreover, being limber helps you perform better in your day to day anti-aging activities.
Your View of Yourself
Does growing old mean avoiding the bathroom scale or looking into a mirror? The way you
perceive yourself is very important to your overall physical, mental and spiritual self. People are
flocking to doctors for expanding waistlines and hair loss. Their buying anti-aging skin care
products and cosmetics for younger looking skin and the list goes on. Your long-term whole-body
physical, mental and spiritual picture of yourself is an important factor of your anti-aging program.
Bridge the Gap
Taking the steps necessary to take care of yourself will help you "bridge the gap" to a longer life.
Developing a solid anti-aging program and strategy is essential. Without a plan or a process things
are just left up to chance. You yourself can only implement the steps that will take you down the
path of becoming a centenarian.
In conclusion, anti-aging overall is multidisciplinary. It involves, in part, the 12 factors discussed
here but also total whole-body wellness and longevity. It involves incorporating the ingredients of
wellness and longevity into your lifestyle. Anti-aging is an individual process - you decide what
ingredients are part of the program. Anti-aging is what makes you feel good. It is what makes you
"anti-age"!
