Joint Pain or Stiffness Relief—That’s Only for Athletes, Right?

Knee pain

Knee pain and surgery is becoming more common as baby boomers age.

by Paul Anderson, M.D., D.A.P.M.

Wrong. Almost one in three adults report joint pain, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention based on household interviews derived from the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS. Of the complaints about joint stiffness and pain, the most frequent was of knee pain (18 percent), followed by shoulder (9 percent), finger (7 percent), and hip (7 percent) pain.

As baby boomers age, these numbers are only increasing: The number of knee replacements is already higher than ever in the U.S. and is expected to double within the next decade, according to a new study presented at the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. The report was based on 2009 data from the U.S. Census and the NHIS.

When’s the last time you rubbed your knee, took off your shoes to rub your feet or arched your back to stretch out your muscles for a little bit of pain relief? Chances are it was just in the last few minutes you experienced some sort of joint pain.

It’s just a part of life. Our daily schedules have us constantly on our feet, and if you take an active role in trying to maintain your health through exercise, aches and pains can be a daily struggle.

But it doesn’t have to be that way. Keeping your body moving freely is as much about protecting them in the first place. We’ve designed the Rejuvity Joint & Pain Relief System to help you get through most of your days the way you’ve always dreamed of—pain free. And to help support healthy joints to keep you active for a long, long time. Continue reading →

Advancements in Skin Aging: Ageless Renewal Serum

Trainer: Skin Health Expert Kathy McGowan

Want to have “ageless skin”? Designed by scientists in the field of tissue regeneration, Ageless Renewal Serum supplies Repair-Plex™, the proprietary blend of skin bioactives. The serum promotes greater production of matrix protein, collagen, and elastin to create thicker, younger-looking skin. Learn from Kathy McGowan how to best apply the product to work with your skin to “remember” what it has “forgotten” with age.

 

Nourishing Healthy Skin from Within

Skin requires essential vitamins and minerals to maintain its youth and vibrance.

The best way to ensure that you will enjoy healthy, youthful-appearing skin as you age is to combine a healthy diet and supplement choices with a daily skin care regimen using high-quality skin care products. This inside-out and outside-in whole body approach encourages a vibrantly healthy body and radiantly healthy skin.

While there are some basic characteristics that establish the foundation for a person’s skin health, such as genetic and hereditary factors and sebaceous oil gland functioning, we also need to consider the wholeness of the individual. The body, in its own wisdom, maintains a vigilant role in assessing, responding, adjusting, and adapting to changes in its intrinsic (internal) and extrinsic (external) environments. All systems of the body are part of this dynamic communication network, which includes the skin, the largest organ of the human body. The skin is influenced second-by-second by these internal/external changes, and it will reflect these changes through how it functions, regenerates, degenerates, and ages.

The good news is that the skin is constantly renewing itself. The outermost layer of the skin, the epidermis, sheds old lackluster skin cells and replaces them with new plump and healthy cells. In general, the body gets a new outer skin approximately every 28 days. This renewal process may take longer based on influences, such as your specific aging factors, general health, daily stresses, the foods you eat, lifestyle choices, alcohol consumption, smoking, and environmental aggressors. These aggressors include toxins, chemicals, and pollutants in the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the foods we eat. Too much UV exposure from the sun and changes in the seasons can also be stressful to the skin. Continue reading →

Multivitamins May Support Memory in Older Women

Older women taking a multivitamin-mineral-herb supplement maintain better memory, study finds

We all forget things from time to time, but as we get older, the continued occurrence of misplacing keys or forgetting that phone number you’ve dialed countless times becomes more and more unwelcome, and even scary. But is there anything that can be done to equip our memory to withstand the perils of age?

According to a new randomized controlled study from Australia, taking a combined multivitamin, mineral, and herbal supplement — with similar ingredients found in Ageless Essentials Daily Pack with Product B — may help maintain memory in older women.

The study, published in Psychopharmacology, investigated the effects of multivitamin supplementation on cognition in 56 elderly women who had complaints of memory loss. Study participants were split into two groups; one group took a daily multivitamin consisting of antioxidants and minerals with added herbal and plant extracts, and the other group took a daily placebo.

Antioxidants for Healthier Arteries

Antioxidant combination improves arterial elasticity, according to recent study.

Among the several ingredients in Ageless Essentials with Product B are vitamin C, coenzyme Q10 (coQ10), vitamin E, and selenium. A recent study has found that this combination improves arterial elasticity when taken long term.

Arterial elasticity refers to how stiff or elastic arteries are, and more elastic means the better it is for your overall health and heart. Arteries become more rigid generally with age, hypertension or atherosclerosis.

The randomized, controlled trial (1), published in Nutrition and Metabolism, compared the effects of daily supplementation of the combination versus a placebo over six months on 70 participants who had at least two cardiovascular risk factors (hypertension, diabetes, high triglycerides, low HDL cholesterol, or smoking). After six months, the antioxidant-supplemented group showed significantly increased large and small arterial elasticity compared to placebo.

The cardiovascular benefit was also associated with better maintenance of glucose and lipid metabolism as well as blood pressure. Continue reading →
