Is Aging Backwards a Full-time Job? |
 Someone said to me recently, "Look at you, you just sit around and have beauty treatments all day long, don't you?" Actually, nothing could be further from the truth. It doesn't take "having beauty treatments all day long" to keep aging backwards. That's the "beauty" of what I do. I find all kinds of secrets, tips and shortcuts to pass along that make it easy to look and feel young while still living your life. Not many people have time to "sit around and have beauty treatments all day," including me!
Here are some quick tips for aging backwards when, like me, you can't make it your "full-time job."
Instantly younger perception. Studies show that the scent of pink grapefruit makes a man perceive a woman as six years younger than her age. The world’s first anti-aging perfume, Ageless, incorporates the essence of pink grapefruit and other scents proven to make men see women who wear it as eight years younger.
One minute relaxer. Try this several times a day for a quick and simple way to calm and relax yourself. Take a deep breath. Hold it for a count of five, release it for a count of seven. Repeat three to five times.

So let's take a look at the Japanese Path to Aging Backwards:
Seafood, Seafood, Seafood
The very high intake of fresh fish may explain the lower rate of coronary artery disease in Japan. Omega-3 fatty acids from the oils in the fish play a crucial role in brain healthy and normal growth and development. Omega-3 fatty acids are essential to human health, but they must be obtained from food because the human body does not manufacture them.
The Astaxanthin Secret
Astaxanthin is a powerful antioxidant, occurring naturally in micro algae, salmon, shrimp and trout, to name just a few. Astaxanthin has been show to exhibit antioxidant properties superior to beta-carotene in certain studies. Astaxanthin helps guard against the effects of excessive free radicals and is active in many parts of the body, particularly in skeletal and smooth muscles and in the eyes. Astavita AstaREAL Astaxanthin is a natural carotenoid pigment harvested from the freshwater micro algae Haematococcus pluvialis, which contains the highest concentration of astaxanthin in the world. All Astavita products contain astaxanthin grown in a patented enclosed BioDome system in Maui, Hawaii, or photo bioreactors in Gustavsberg, Sweden. This patented process protects algae from environmental pollutants, assuring absolute purity, and provides a climate-controlled system that regulates light, temperature and water to get the highest and most consistent astaxathin yield possible. Clinical Studies on the health benefits of natural astaxanthin have indicated an increase in physical endurance, muscle recovery time, reduction of inflammation and eye fatigue, cardiovascular, diabetic support and skin health.
