ANTI-AGING ACTION PLAN

MAKE NUTS A REGULAR PART OF YOUR DIET TO LOWER YOUR RISK OF HEART DISESASE!

Consume 2 ounces of nuts at least three times a week. The health benefits are numerous: they contain fiber, plant sterols, minerals and healthy fat, and are a staple in at least one of the longest lived societies on the planet in Loma Linda, California.

The nuts that contain the highest amount of monounsaturated, or ‘’good’’, fat are almonds, Brazil nuts, hazelnuts, macadamia nuts, pecans, pistachios, and walnuts. So much on them as a snack, top salads or soups with them, or mix them with fruit and yogurt.  

DRINK 6 OUNCES OF POMEGRANATE JUICE DAILY TO HELP YOUR HEART AND YOUR LOVE LIFE!

Antioxidant-rich pomegranate juice has always been shown up to help with erectile dysfunction and may help slow aging and protect against heart disease and cancer.

Pomegranates are also rich in potassium and contain vitamin C. They’re grown all over the world and tend to be more available in October and November in the United States.

Less labor- Intensive than eating pomegranates is drinking pomegranate juice. One brand that’s commonly available is Pom Wonderful, but any brand that is primarily juice is fine. Just watch out for added sugars and for the infamous ‘’Juice drinks” That can contain as little as 10 percent actual juice. 

TAKE THESE THREE B VITAMINS TO LOWER YOUR RISK OF HEART DISEASE!

The toxic compound homocysteine is a risk factor in heart disease and stroke. In addition to being tested for homocysteine levels in your blood, take these vitamins daily to lower your levels:

  •  Folic Acid:1 gram (up to 4 grams)
  •  B12 : 1,000 mcg
  •  B6:   100 mg 
If your homocysteine levels remain elevated, your doctor may suggest higher doses and may also add the supplement TMG (trimethylglycine), which usually does the trick.

FOUR STEPS TOWARD EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE

  1. Acknowledge Some one : An acknowledgement is a simple statement of another's value. It's a small act that can contribute enormously to the well-being of another and will also make you feel good at the same time.You can acknowledge the most significant person in your life, or you can acknowledge a stranger, or both. Just tell them what they mean to you   How about thanking a waiter for excellent service and for making your dinner a pleasant experience? Or telling your partner how much his or her smile lights up the room? Approach the world with new eyes and look for an opportunity where you can express even a small amount of thanks to someone every single day. Look for opportunities where you can acknowledge somebody's worth, especially when there are no strings attached Think about how you feel when somebody tells you what a great job you're doing or what a difference you make in that person's life. We don't get acknowledged enough, and more important,...

THE RIGHT OF KIND OF EMOTIONAL SUPPORT

  Nearly all the research on robust aging has found an interesting distinction between emotional Support and direct assistance and the best way to illustrate that distinction is to remind you of when you learned to ride a bike Most of us can remember the exact moment when we were able to remove those training wheels and feel the exhilaration of being able to balance on the two-wheeler I know I do. It was a Sunday night in front of our apartment in Jackson Heights. Queens, New York I was about eight years old and my father took off the training wheels and began to run alongside the bike, helping to balance it from behind as pedaled with some uncertainty and wobbliness, slowly picking up speed, until he was finally able to let go as I shrieked, "I can do it!" That moment of autonomy, which most of us have experienced, at least those of us who learned to ride a two-wheeler, is significant. And it has a lot to teach us about aging well. My father provided emotional support, but h...
