One of my fond childhood
memories is that whenever we had guests over for dinner, my father would always
offer his favorite toast, the famous Spanish one: Salud,
amor, y pesetas - y el tiempo para gozarlas. (May you have) Health, love, and wealth - and
the time in which to enjoy them.
It is appropriate that the most
important of this triumvirate comes first - health.
When we are young, it is easy to
take natural good health and vitality for granted - and it becomes
progressively less easy as we get old. Which
it is why it is wise to start preserving one's health when young (just as it is
wise then to start saving money).
I'm 65 now and as you know, 12
days ago (12/05) underwent serious abdominal surgery. My doctors are amazed at how rapidly I am
recuperating. One reason for this is
that I have taken nutritional supplements in "life extension" amounts for over
30 years. Another is that I am taking
specific nutritional formulas to promote healing and recovery.
Almost exclusively, they are
formulas designed by famed life extension scientists Durk Pearson and Sandy
Shaw - dear friends for 40 years - and produced by our mutual friend Will
Block's company Life Enhancement.
I think that such nutrition is
the best Christmas present you could give to yourself.
Of course, you could trot down
to your local GNC, which I don't doubt is a fine company. But what Life Enhancement offers is
absolutely cutting-edge life-extension nutrition, quality-control I absolutely
trust - and their magazine/website explains it all clearly with scientific
references.
Durk & Sandy's latest
formula, FoldRight,
is an example. Almost everything our
body does involves proteins. Almost all
of the 25,000 genes in our DNA code for the production of a protein. All enzymes are proteins, etc. Proteins are enormously complicated, and
critical to their proper functioning is that they fold into a correct
three-dimensional structure.
One major cause of aging is that
the proteins in our body become progressively mis-folded. It's like keys no longer fitting into
locks. That's why one (not the only)
holy grail of life extension science is to figure out how to start re-folding
our body's mis-folded proteins back to their correct structures. FoldRight
is that holy grail.
That's brand new. I've been taking Durk & Sandy's
arginine-based formula, Inner Power,
for a quarter-century. I never go
without it anywhere in the world, as it promotes rapid healing from wounds or
sickness (as well as many other things - it's sort of a nutritional
philosopher's stone).
Then there's their original life
extension vitamin/supplement formula, Personal Radical
Shield. Back in the 70s, before
their formulas were commercially available, they would put together their basic
life extension mix in their lab (I often got to be their lab assistant!). We didn't have encapsulation equipment, so
we'd carry the stuff around in plastic bags, taking a teaspoon of vitamin
powder straight with each meal. You have
no idea how awful it tasted.
This went on for years. Can you imagine lugging around large bags of
vitamin powders in say, Afghanistan
fighting with the Mujahaddin against the Soviets? Good grief.
Finally Will came along to make a business out of it and
license/manufacture Durk & Sandy's formulas.
I don't think you could make a
better investment in yourself, give yourself a better Christmas present, than
to explore the Life
Enhancement site (be sure and click on the "Articles & Research About
This Product" link for each formula), order the formulas you feel would be
right for you, and start actually slowing down the aging process in your body.
[I should now make this
disclaimer: I have no financial interest
in Life Enhancement whatever.]
We all need to be at our
healthiest to face what's coming in 2009.
Exercise and eat well, moderation in booze, no smoking of course - and
life extension nutrients for your body and brain. That's how to maintain your salud for next year and all those to
come.
