See book keywords and concepts |  Repeated sunburns increase the risk of developing skin cancer, and can also cause signs of premature aging such as wrinkles. Burns result from the ultraviolet (UV) radiation produced by the sun, and can happen within 30 minutes of exposure. UVA and UVB are different wavelengths in the light spectrum. UVB is more damaging to the skin and is linked to skin cancer, while both UVA and UVB are responsible for premature aging and sunburn. Tanning beds also produce UVA and UVB rays and improper tanning bed use can cause sunburn.
The sun is at its strongest between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. |

See book keywords and concepts |  A highly reactive compound that damages cell membranes and other cell components, contributing to degenerative diseases, such as heart disease, cancer, premature aging, cataracts, and arthritis. Free radicals are found in air pollution, tobacco smoke, some foods, and pesticides. Some are produced by ultraviolet radiation; they are also manufactured during normal body processes. Chemically, free radicals have single, unshared electrons that are responsible for their high reactivity.

The sun is at its strongest between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m., and should be avoided as much as possible during these hours. Remember that it is possible to get burnt on overcast days too, as clouds do not block out UV rays. The sun is also stronger in regions close to the equator, and places at high altitudes. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Now, the reason why cancer affects us as we age has to do with that p53 system; the p53 system regulates all our cells and causes premature aging, which we'll explain in a moment. As our immune systems weaken from aging, that also means those holes are lining up in our Swiss cheese, making us much more vulnerable to cancer, the second leading killer. Combine those factors with the fact that you may have a weakened immune system unable to fight off the Major Ager of toxins, and you've got a perfect storm of cancer-forming factors. | | P53 activation supresses cancer but overactivation can lead to premature aging.
The Chore of Iron
Healthy adults usually have between 3 and 4 grams of iron in their bodies, mostly in the bloodstream. We're most vulnerable to infection at sites where germs can enter our bodies. In an adult without broken skin, that means the mouth, eyes, ears, and genitals. And because infectious agents need iron to survive, all those openings have been declared iron no-fly zones by our bodies. |

Many studies have demonstrated Garlic to have an inhibitory effect on platelet aggregation, which may cause postoperative bleeding (Petry, 1995). Ajoene is the antithrombotic compound that inhibits fibrinogen receptors on platelets (Robbers, 1996). |
Gabriel Cousens, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  Airola points out that overeating protein "contributes to the development of many of our most common and serious diseases, such as arthritis, kidney damage, pyorrhea, schizophrenia, osteoporosis, atherosclerosis, heart disease, and cancer" and that a "high-protein diet causes premature aging and lowers life expectancy."6 A high-protein diet increases the rate of amyloid deposit in the cells. Amyloid is a by-product of protein metabolism that is deposited in connective tissues and organs. It has definitely been linked with tissue and organ degeneration and premature aging. |

B cell. | | Frequent or prolonged sun exposure is a major contributor to premature aging and wrinkles.
Antioxidants, including the flavonoids, protect the skin from free radical damage. Flavonoids in general are well known for supporting healthy collagen and elastin and maintaining their elasticity. In part, they do this by realigning these proteins to a more youthful, undamaged form. Among the polyphenols in green tea, EGCG and ECG show the strongest effect in reducing collagenase activity. Supplementing the diet with antioxidants, such as green tea's polyphenols, lessens the likelihood of wrinkles. | | Over time, free radical damage to the body leads to dozens of diseases and to premature aging. For example, free radical changes to LDL-cholesterol occur as an early stage in heart disease; damage to DNA (our genetic blueprint) caused by free radicals can instigate cancer; and proteins in the skin mangled by free radicals can appear as wrinkles. Among the most damaging of the free radicals are the superoxide ion, formed from oxygen, and the hydroxyl radical ion, formed from hydrogen peroxide. |

IT'S NEVER TOO LATE
There are many cases of people who have recovered from so-called "death sentence" diseases. I will relate a couple here. The following is taken from an interview I had with Michael O'Brien, who is a former medical doctor. Michael cured himself after his wife had been told that he would not live through the weekend. | | Toxins are the cause of reduced function and premature aging. Just like the engine or radiator of our car, if they aren't cleaned on a regular basis, they overheat and wear out. Before we can return to vibrant health, we have to do some housecleaning for our bodies too. This is called detoxification.
Key # 3: Feeding—Give Your Body the Nutrition it Needs
You need to feed your body what it can use to rejuvenate itself. As we have already learned, the human body is very wise; given the proper tools, it knows what to do to achieve health. |

CoQ10 is found in many foods, mostly meats, vegetable oils (including soybean), fish, nuts, and some vegetables, but the daily intake of the average person through diet is below 5 mg—a fraction of the amount usually taken in supplement form (30 to 300 mg). It's estimated that only about 25 percent of the CoQ10 in your body is supplied through diet. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Research has shown that out of 100 people who consumed large quantities of polyunsaturated fats, 78 showed marked clinical signs of premature aging. They also looked much older than others of the same age did. By contrast, in a recent study on the relationship between dietary fats and the risk for Alzheimer's disease, researchers were surprised to learn that the natural, healthy fats can actually reduce the risk for Alzheimer's by up to 80 percent. |

See article keywords and concepts |  Free radicals consume collagen and elastin - the fibers that support skin structure - and can cause wrinkles and other signs of premature aging. Vitamin C is especially effective at protecting the skin from overexposure to the sun when combined with vitamin E. Foods high in vitamin C include acerola (a cherry-like fruit), red and green bell peppers, guava, kale, parsley, collard greens, turnips, and broccoli. |

Many people think having prematurely gray hair is a sign of stress, and there's some truth to this. One theory is that stress can precipitate autoimmune diseases or the other conditions mentioned above that can cause graying.

See book keywords and concepts | | UVA and UVB rays cause skin cancer and premature aging. UVA tans your skin. UVB burns it. Both cause wrinkles. SPF sunscreen ratings do not refer to UVA rays, so be sure your sunscreen also includes UVA block, such as transparent minimum 6% zinc oxide.
•Sunscreen that boasts higher numbers is not much more effective. SPF 15 blocks 93% of UVB rays.. .SPF 30 blocks 97%. The difference matters most to people who tan or burn easily.
•Use adequate amounts of sunscreen. An 8-ounce bottle of SPF 15, if applied properly, is enough for a weekend at the beach. |

Starved of a balanced sunlight diet, we tend to look for help elsewhere, even though nature is ready to cure us at any time. It is very unfortunate that sick people are mostly kept indoors, often with curtains drawn and windows closed. One of nature's most potent preventive and curative powers is there for everyone to use. |

Dr. MacCormick concludes that chemotherapy accelerates the aging process. He says: "Whereas short-term toxicity of chemotherapy can usually be considered acceptable even for a small improvement in survival, long-term toxicity and early onset of frailty can have an impact that lasts for years." [Medical Hypotheses March 16, 2006, online] Statistically, chemotherapy sounds goods. | | Bruce Ames, of the University of California at Berkeley, suggests that whatever causes premature aging is also related to the onset of cancer.
Cancer occurs in the latter years of life. Nutritional deficiencies - shortages of vitamin B12, B6, folic acid, vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc and niacin - can equal the DNA damage caused by exposure to a dose of radiation. The provision of these nutrients to old animals, not only reduces their risk of developing cancer, but also slows their rate of aging. |
