No one wants to be older. Naturally, we want to maintain our youth and preserve our appearance, and yet, the aging process is nature’s fundamental promise to us all. Whilst we cannot escape aging in our years, we can support our health and wellbeing in order to protect ourselves, and hopefully avoid (for as long as possible!) many conditions, ailments, and diseases that hinder our ability to live fully.

As we age, the body becomes weaker, our cells become damaged and die off, our bones lose their density, and our immune, respiratory, circulatory and digestive systems start to suffer the consequences of the lifestyle we have led. In saying that, even individuals that we may consider healthy will experience a decline in some way because this is nature’s way.

We can protect ourselves as much as possible but the human body still needs to cope with the stressors of modern living and all the environmental factors that can negatively impact health and wellness. OK, that doesn’t paint a promising picture of what lies ahead, but it is what we do now that counts because that directly impacts what comes next! And there are many ways that we can positively affect our health- that is the major plus side! As much as natural law may take away, nature also gives!

Living Well and Longevity

Living a better, longer life doesn’t need to be an unreachable dream or aspiration. Whatever we give in terms of our health is returned. It is only when we lack the necessary focus on our well being that things can take a speedier turn for the worst.

Here are some ways you can re-frame and re-set to shift your focus toward better health and longevity!

• Whatever you do, do it in moderation. Your body needs balance. This means balancing your nutritional needs, your activity levels, times of rest and leisure time… so on and so forth. It’s not as undo-able as it may seem!

• Listen to your body. Often we do not pay attention to early warning signs that something is wrong. We like to think that we are invincible and carry on “doing” regardless of signs and symptoms of feeling unwell. Knowing what is normal for you is the main thing. Pay heed to signs and symptoms of inflammation within the body or a depleted immune or digestive system and then take action to remedy.

• Detox now and then! Over time, toxins build up within the body. If your body is working too hard to eliminate toxins it puts too much pressure on your liver and kidneys. Toxins damage the cells within the body and this makes our body age far quicker. A detox could be as simple as refraining from alcohol or any processed foods for a time. Your body will thank you and you will notice energy levels improve as well as your skin and bodily functions, such as, better digestion, or recovering more quickly from a cold or illness.

• Drink more water! Most people do not drink the recommended 6-8 glasses or 2L of water per day. Through winter, water intake may suffer even more as many of us turn to hot beverages to feel warm and comforted. Herbal teas may be a good option as a replacement for tea, hot chocolate or coffee. You could try a glass of hot water with some fresh lemon and a natural sweetener like stevia. Lemon helps your liver clear toxins also!

• Focus on natural foods and healthy oils such as olive oil. Natural foods support your body toward health and longevity, and healthy oils have a wealth of benefits, in terms of anti-aging and overall well being.

• It’s not always plain-sailing when it comes to nutrition, this is where natural supplements can really make a difference to your well being and promote longevity. Bucky Labs offer supplements and products that have been proven to increase health-span in peer-reviewed studies. Here’s a look at two of their products for health and longevity!

Carbon60 Olive Oil by Bucky Labs

Perhaps the most exciting longevity product available is C60 Olive Oil. C60 also called Buckminsterfullerene (or “buckyballs”). It is a perfect sphere of 60 carbon atoms with amazing properties that aim to increase lifespan.

It is a powerful antioxidant that acts at the mitochondrial membrane to eliminate free radicals. C60 has a slight positive charge that attracts oxidative molecules and neutralizes them. C60 rapidly resets and keeps on working. When the cells of the body are relieved of an oxidative burden, they can once again function at peak efficiency and begin the repair. C60 Olive Oil is available as both a dropper oil or capsule form.

The reported benefits of C60 Olive Oil include:

• Protection against radiation damage

• Increased liver health

• Reduced pain and inflammation

• Increased physical fitness/stamina.

• Increased immunity

• Anti-cancer agent

• Increased healthy sleep

One prominent study, administering C60 to male rats, showed an unprecedented 90% increase in their average lifespan. In its conclusion, the study states “C60 should be the most efficient ever material for extending lifespan”. Although, the lead researcher, Professor Fathi Moussa, said that C60 is “absolutely not toxic” “even taken long term”, this product is still considered experimental.

Cycloastragenol

Cycloastragenol is a powerful extract of astragalus, which is well known for its anti-aging properties. Astralagus is a great anti-inflammatory, and it also has many other health-promoting benefits such as providing a boost to the immune system and protection against fatigue as well as common ailments and conditions. Put simply, it strengthens the internal functions of the body.

As we age, the protective ends of our chromosomes (called telomeres) deplete with every cell division. When they are short, the cell stops working properly, it produces inflammation and can promote tumor growth. But the good news is that telomeres can be lengthened with Cycloastragenol, thereby rescuing old cells and effectively seeming to slow down the aging process. Because Cycloastragenol addresses one of the root causes of aging—there are many purported benefits:

• Improved immune system

• Improved energy level, and promote faster exercise recovery time

• Better, deeper sleep

• Decreased inflammation

• Decreased blood glucose levels

• Fewer wrinkles, healthier skin, and shinier hair

• Better sexual performance

• Improved vision

• Improved lipid metabolism

• A better mood overall
