 |
 |
Vitality: True vitality is the ability of cells, tissues and organs to withstand biological insults and recover from disease. |
|
 |
|
Essential Fatty Acids: Long chain essential fatty acids are required to reduce inflammation, improve lipids and enhance nerve cell function. |
|
 |
|
Glycemic Control: Control of blood sugar is required to reduce insulin levels, and prevent insulin resistance and obesity. |
|
| |
|
Gene Modulation: Dietary changes and nutritional supplements can alter gene expression and reduce disease, even if you have adverse genetic risk factors. |
|
 |
|
Immune Enhancement: Immune function should be optimized to resist one's resistance to infections, to reduce inflammation, and to enhance the effect of immune cells that prevent cancer. |
|
 |
|
 |
Extra Antioxidants: Antioxidants play a key role in reducing the effects of free radicals and oxidative stress; which are causative factors in cancer, heart disease and stroke. |
| |
Exercise: A tri-modal exercise regimen, every other day, can maintain optimal cardiac fitness, joint integrity, and neuromuscular function. |
|
|
 |
|
 |
Sleep: Adequate sleep is required to allow the body's healing and regenerative capabilities to proceed efficiently. |
| |
Stress Reduction: Meditation and relaxation techniques improve neuronal function, blood pressure, muscular reactivity, immune function and cardiac health. |
| |
Satiety Control: Controlling one's appetite before, during, and after a meal, leads to reduced caloric intake; a proven way of prolonging life. |
