Latest Anti - Aging
Strategies

This book the " Latest Anti-aging Strategies " is about Challenge and about Choice , and if you are over 40 it presents an opportunity for you to reflect on your lifestyle , your health and the process of aging . Reading this book , or publications of a similar nature , could have a major impact on the rest of your life , empowering you with the information you need to make good choices concerning your lifestyle and your health .

Alchemists have long sought the Elixir of Life , but the concept of reversing the aging process no longer has that elusive quality of the fool's dream . Each day the dream is becoming more and more of a reality , not only possible but achievable .

A number of factors combine today to make the anti-aging revolution possible , and achievable by those prepared to take the time to understand and assume responsibility for their own good health , well being and longevity .

Many of us who are aged over 40 , through the benefits of the developed modern world , will have achieved sufficient economic security to find time for rest and recreation , to reflect upon our values and to make lifestyle choices . Using the many educational resources available to us , we can re-evaluate our lives , enabling us to place good health and personal well being for yourselves and our families at the top of our list of priorities .

In this we are supported by the many recent medical and technological breakthroughs within the human bio-sciences including cell biology , endocrinology , genetics and immunology , coupled with a host of new innovative diagnostic tools which are changing modern medicine in leaps and bounds .

It is said that a major milestone in the aging process and a re-acknowledgement of your own mortality occurs abruptly just after celebrating your 60th birthday – in my case it was a great party , but I did not enthusiastically welcome the milestone !

Instead , I reflected and counted my blessings .

Like everyone else , I was not sure if I had actually graduated into the realm of the wise , but after spending six decades in the school of hard knocks , at least I could contend to be a realist . As such , I accepted that my body was beginning , gently at times , abruptly at others , to remind me that the aging process , like all natural processes , eventually starts to accelerate . The realist in me accepted this and maturely reflected upon the art of living in peace with that which I cannot change . So the odd aches , the occasional pain and more frequent occurrences of the so called " Senior Moments Syndrome " I took in my stride and accepted as being part of the course . An inconvenience yes , but no great burden as I travelled on through life's rich embroidered landscape .

Thus I found myself accepting this " downhill slide " in a gentlemanly manner . After all , life had been good to me . I had been blessed with good health , an athletic gait and had been fortunate enough to grab some of the opportunities that came my way , maybe it was time to count my blessings and pass on the reins to a younger generation .

So accepting this as the dignified approach , I philosophically accepted my fate and was content to devise a retirement plan of relative comfort and tranquility , a time when I could simply be kind to myself . A period of being enlightened by good books , good wine , shared with the camaraderie of others in like circumstances , a time to smell the roses . A time to join the local park's philosophical brigade and acquiesce in relating to the world , mostly in the past tense , embellished with endless and imaginative good " old boy " stories , about how wonderful life was back then .

However , this unwelcoming retirement situation was completely contrary to my true nature . Throughout my life I have always been cheerfully optimistic and , as a progressive professional manager , a creative builder , being self-motivated , tenacious and quietly proud of my achievements . For me , the future was always to be bigger , brighter and more rewarding . Nonetheless , accepting that I was a mere mortal and that my bathroom mirror did not lie , I had , like all of us , to come to terms with my fast approaching destiny . I regarded old age , in any of its forms , not as " golden " but more as " rust like " . While as a realist I accepted the inevitable with resignation , but in my own way I promised to fight the inescapable , and remembered my old Granny's advice - walk a lot , talk a lot and laugh a lot and you will keep old age at bay . Although Granny's wise recommendations are extremely valid they hardly seemed adequate enough to appease the Grim Reaper .

So a wee smile crossed my wrinkled face when I inadvertently came across my first anti-aging article - obviously the prospect of retaining full vitality and a few hairs on my head , for a good number of additional years was indeed the answer to an unspoken prayer . As my research delved further I began to glimpse a definite ray of light at the end of the tunnel . With every new avenue of investigation the light grew stronger , Halleluiah - my genetic fate could wait ! My innate challenge mechanism switched on to dare ask the question " at this point in human evolution " – was it possible , using the latest combination of yet unproven anti-aging concepts , implemented conscientiously , to extend my life with all its good health and vitality until the final onset of morbidity ? Having my seventy's , eighties and nineties lifestyle full of vitality , creativity and enjoyment , combined with the experience of my years would be absolutely priceless . I realized that the promise of revitalization would not be handed to me on a platter – and that by accepting the anti-aging challenge a lot of hard work lay ahead , but I certainly appreciated the concept of challenge rather than accept with resignation that the future was simply a slide down a slippery slope .

Life is not a store where you can pick your options nor does it come with an instruction manual .

I commenced enthusiastically reviewing every possible research path including the local library , bookstores , the internet , plus lifestyle magazines and medical journals . The search seemed overwhelming and endless . Every publication I read only led to a maze of additional cross-referenced scholarly studies . Each new field of research promised just another small piece in an extremely complex puzzle . I soon realized that if you delve into the inner realms of anti-aging you will be drawn to research the complete panorama of man's physiology, psychology and spiritual nature .

After two years of exhaustive study , in addition to attending numerous anti-aging and health conventions , I realized that to develop a well thought out , absolutely up-to-date , anti-aging program I needed to convert my scholarly , but lone search to include the many experts in every field of study associated with the anti-aging phenomena . While a few years ago reaching out to experts covering the numerous fields of study concerned with anti-aging would have been near impossible . But with the all-encompassing scope of today's ever-growing internet it has become feasible , via this medium . Experts from such diverse fields of study as stem cell biology and nutrition , from psychology to retail products and on to the more practical hints involved in everyday living have been sourced .

Over the last two years I have cajoled and recruited over 30 researchers from around the world , all of whom are mature specialists in their related fields . I believe I have felt compelled to tread this arduous path of discovery simply because although the knowledge was there for all to see , it was dispersed and camouflaged within so many diverse and near endless lists of medical publications and scientific journals , that it was near impossible for a lay person to comprehend all of it . Hopefully I have achieved my objective , with the intense aid of over 30 highly qualified researchers , to have studied and brought into this single , easy to read work , all of the information pertinent to the anti-aging revolution , a coalescence from which my readers can sensibly digest all the various aspects of the anti-aging phenomena and more importantly evolve for themselves an up to date realistic anti-aging strategy .

In addition , this work also includes a glimpse of the future by detailing many of the on-going anti-aging research programs currently under way . The new age scenario presented in this book faces you with a major challenge , which in fact may be the biggest challenge you will face throughout your remaining life . Do you decide simply to follow your old routines and habits , with the acceptance that your so called " Golden Years " will be just a period of dreaded slow deterioration with a few comfort commodities thrown in as consolation ? Or - will you eagerly grasp all the new health opportunities offered by the new millennium and by dedicated , disciplined effort , combined with a lot of fun , infuse your new lifestyle with energy and vitality - with " Vitality " being the keyword of your " Enlightened Golden Years " .

The choice is yours !

The audience of this work is presumed to be 45 plus in years and with no particular background in science or medicine . Thus the intention of this book is to present all aspects of the Anti-aging phenomenon in an easily readable and hopefully enjoyable manner . When topics demand the use of detailed medical or scientific terms , the terminology is normally translated immediately into lay terms . However , to assist with clarification of terminology , the book has a section containing a fully computerized glossary of the technical terms used in the book , so the reader will have no need to seek external explanations and can efficiently concentrate , with the flick of a switch , on the work at hand .

Unfortunately , there is presently no overall single silver bullet that will magically mitigate the aging process . However it is now generally accepted that with the right knowledge , dedication and the allotment of adequate time and finances you can evolve your own personal and successful anti-aging strategy , ensuring that you will get maximum health benefits throughout your remaining years . This book will give you the tools , you must decide how to utilize them and , as always , the choices are yours to make .

In addition , since the technology of anti-aging is currently evolving at such a rapidly increasing rate , the author and his expert research team , will continue to update this publication on your behalf and in addition will issue monthly anti-aging reviews directly to you , without any additional costs . Via this mode of continuing to monitor developments throughout the entire anti-aging scenario , you will be kept abreast of all the new programs , products and scientific advances . This promises to be vitally important since so many scientific disciplines are anticipating anti-aging breakthroughs within the very near future . With the development of your own personalized anti-aging strategy , in place and regularly updated by us , you will be enabled to take full advantage of the latest anti-aging technologies and have the opportunity to be at the forefront of the " Anti-aging Revolution " .
