The Ultimate antiaging Vitamin? Two major studies have associated vitamin C status with longevity. In a study of more than 19,000 adults, those with the lowest blood levels of vitamin C were twice as likely to die over the next four years as those with the highest levels of vitamin C in their blood. And a decade-long study from UCLA of more than 11,000 people showed that men who took 800 mg of vitamin C daily lived about six years longer than men who took only 60 mg of the vitamin. Just something to think about.

They are often marketed as antiaging pills or as energy and libido enhancers. All steroids are synthesized from cholesterol. Cholesterol is converted to pregnenolone, progesterone, dehy-droepiandrosterone (DHEA), androstenedione, and testosterone. Progesterone is combined with estrogen for hormone replacement therapy to treat hot flashes and depression in postmenopausal women.

Restricting calories, increasing your strength, and getting quality sleep are three of nature's best antiaging medicines. Together, these activities—as well as the other actions we recommend—control 70 percent of how well you age. Wouldn't you want to hold the power of your future in your hands, rather than put it in someone else's? Just because you've made mistakes in the past doesn't mean you can't reverse them. Even if you've had burgers for breakfast or fried your brain cells with stress, you're not necessarily destined to wear husky pants and forget birthdays.

To replicate the rats' antiaging accomplishment, you have to be able to drive not just 500 miles with those fourteen gallons but 750 miles (50 percent longer life). What would you have to do to drive 50 percent farther with 30 percent less gas? The first thing you'd probably do is get rid of any excess weight; no cargo carriers, no bike racks, no fuzzy dice. Then you might start shutting down all nonessential systems—off go the AC, the headlights, the radio; anything that isn't absolutely critical to running the car.

This hormone replacement story has all the drama of a classic medical mystery complete with conflicting evidence: antiaging docs who vehemently defend hormone therapy, and other docs who think it's the worst thing since sliced buttered bread made with refined flour. Here we'll clear up some of the confusion so you can decide whether restoring your hormones is right for you—and we'll tell you what we recommend to our families and patients.

Pterostilbene's lipid-lowering ability was superior to both resvera-trol (the antiaging compound also found in grapes) and the prescription drug Ciprofibrate. On a cellular level, it works much like resveratrol in regulating fatty acid metabolism and fats in the bloodstream—and it helps prevent the deposition of plaque in the arteries. Need more reasons to eat blueberries? How about fighting cancer? A University of Illinois study tested different fruits for the presence of a particular flavonoid that inhibits a cancer-promoting enzyme.

These facts may account for the anecdotal reputation of royal jelly as an amazing antiaging substance that can foster health and extend life. Royal Jelly May Be Overrated I'm less enthused about royal jelly than I am about propolis and bee pollen, though it is a concentrated source of nutrition. Royal jelly has the appealing property of being a creamy emulsion that is strongly antibacterial, which makes it an ideal component of cosmetics and skin care products.

In the case of antiaging, for example, a company typically finds a very basic scientific study about the antioxidant properties of a particular vitamin, and it will link that with research that oxidation increases with aging and contributes to age-related diseases like heart disease and cancer. However, just because something has antioxidant properties doesn't mean that taking it will prevent diseases related to oxidation. For example, vitamin E has been shown in animal studies to reduce free radicals that cause oxidative stress in animal models of atherosclerosis.

But you don't have to take a supplement to get your daily dosage of this antiaging compound. Just make grapes a part of your diet! The skins of the dark (red, purple) grapes are the best source. The benefits of grapes don't stop with resveratrol. Grape seeds and skins are also a huge source of a class of flavonoids called oligomeric proantho-cyanidins, or OPCs. Proanthocyanidins are powerful antioxidants—several times more potent than vitamins C and E. They help protect against the effects of internal and environmental stresses (cigarette smoking, pollution).

We're here to challenge that perception of aging and create a new way of thinking about "antiaging medicine." The traditional focus of the medical community has been on treating chronic diseases and reversing acute illnesses associated with aging—cancer, heart disease, stroke. The assumption was clear: Since heart disease and cancer alone account for over 50 percent of all deaths, you could live maybe 50 percent longer if you could avoid the big killers. As it turns out, this isn't what would happen.

It's the ultimate antiaging drug. Pump Iron, Live Longer! And that's just aerobic exercise, which is defined as exercise that's dependent on a steady flow of oxygen, e.g., walking, biking, stair-climbing, and the like. Add weight training to the mix and you get even more benefits. Weight training—or any weight-bearing exercise (e.g., body weight exercises like push-ups)—forces your muscles to work hard against resistance. This ultimately causes them to grow (or at the very least, not to atrophy). And that's a very good thing indeed.

Finally, resveratrol has made news for the 1/1 last decade or so as one of the key "antiaging" compounds in red wine and grapes. "It lowers blood pressure, blood fats, and glucose," Houston says, "and it relaxes the vascular smooth muscles." And just in case you were living on another planet for the last few decades—stop smoking. Immediately. Do it now. No excuses.

The Miracle antiaging Nutrient for Your Brain Glycerophosphocholine (GPC) is a supplement that has been extensively researched for its effect on mental performance, attention, concentration, and memory formation.

They were based on the idea that you have significandy less melatonin (and serotonin) as you age, but that's turned out to be a questionable assumption, even though melatonin production is greatest when you're one to three years old.

Because cherries are loaded with antiinflammatory, antiaging, anticancer compounds that don't show up on your average nutrition facts label. The cancer-fighting agents in cherries include a flavonoid called quercetin, as well as ellagic acid and perillyl alcohol. The Wonders of Quercetin and Ellagic Acid Quercetin has been found be researchers to be a potent anticancer agent. It also exhibits significant anti-inflammatory activity, which is why quercetin is one of my favorite supplements for allergies and asthma.

MOISTURIZERS: Despite all the fuss, assertions, and price differences among anti-wrinkle, firming, antiaging, and "renewing" supplements and treatments that claim to restore youth to skin, in truth these products are nothing more than moisturizers. A plethora of these products are being marketed to women, but I can tell you that not one plastic surgeon is going out of business because of them. As a general category, "moisturizers" were quite easy to review because what constitutes a state-of-the-art product in this category is well established.

The real question is whether this Eye Cream is the antiaging breakthrough it's made out to be. But it's no surprise the answer is "No!"—though as mentioned above, it is a good moisturizer. Klein-Becker claims the patented pentapeptides in this product are rhe wrinkle-reducing, dark circle-diminishing wonders, but independent research does not correlate with this claim because there are no independent, peer-reviewed studies analyzing the effects of palmitoyl pentapeptide-3 on wrinkles.

J © $$$ Dewy Smooth antiaging Makeup SPF 15 ($21.50) is definitely smooth, with a silky, silicone-based texture that feels amazing and blends without a hitch. Titanium dioxide is not only the sunscreen agent, but also lends an opacity that allows this makeup to provide medium to almost full coverage with a satin matte finish that feels slightly moist. This does not make skin look dewy or drenched in moisture, but it is still a great option for normal to dry skin. Beyond the sunscreen, there is nothing anti-aging about the formula.

Estrogen slows down bone loss, helps reverse the incidence of heart attacks, and acts as an antiaging factor. Progesterone: A female sex hormone produced in the ovaries that prepares the uterus for a fertilized egg and then stops cell proliferation in the uterus if pregnancy does not occur. When estrogen is high (days 7 to 14 of a woman's cycle), the level of progesterone is at its lowest. Its levels climb to a peak around days 14 to 24 and then drop off again just before the start of menstruation. Around age 35, a woman usually starts producing less progesterone.

Researchers have discovered that an adequate level of melatonin does much more than regulate sleep; it also improves immunity, has anticancer and antiaging effects, can relieve depression, and may boost sexual function. Those types of health conditions are the same ones that researchers say may be caused or exacerbated by EMF overexposure. The connection between melatonin and EMFs appears to be getting more solid evidence.

DHEA Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is marketed as an antiaging pill, which, thanks to some fancy footwork in Congress (the DSHEA, or the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act, as explained earlier), is available over the counter. DHEA declines with normal aging. Since DHEA blocks the effects of stress hormones like Cortisol and has a protective effect on neurons in animal models, it has been described as an antistress and antiag-ing hormone. DHEA, since it is a precursor of testosterone, is being used by athletes to build muscle mass, but it is not very effective for this purpose.

Lam, medical education director at the Pasadena, California-based Academy of Anti-Aging Research, a worldwide society of health professionals dedicated to advancing antiaging medicine. "Of course, the more damage you have to your skin, the harder it is to repair. But as long as you stop feeding it sugar, the free radicals will reduce, and the damage to collagen will reduce. The best way to build collagen is from the inside." Sweets and much-like-sugar carbs damage skin in another way, too.

As a board-certified cardiologist, certified nutrition specialist, and antiaging specialist, I can tell you this: there are far more significant and devastating causes of coronary artery disease than cholesterol, and too much sugar and high blood sugar levels are at the top of the list. It's unfortunate that Americans, who are, at least by and large, somewhat savvy about cholesterol's dangers, are almost completely ignorant about the many perils of eating too much sugar.
