I do not, however, recommend the new prescrip on- strength fish oil medica on, sold under the name Lovaza. Don't be fooled by their "all natural" PR campaign. This is actually a drug to treat very high triglyceride levels. As with most other drugs, Lovaza comes with poten ally dangerous side effects that you would not experience with a natural fish oil or krill oil supplement. Side effects include flu-like symptoms, infec ons, back pain, skin rashes, upset stomach, taste changes, diges ve issues, chest pain, migraines and respiratory problems. 5. Get your an oxidants from real foods. Good sources include organic blueberries, cranberries, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, cherries and most intensely pigmented vegetables. 6. Use coconut oil. Another excellent an -aging food is coconut oil, known to reduce your risk of heart disease and lower your cholesterol, among other things. In fact, it's doubly beneficial because it can be both eaten and applied directly to your skin. Coconut oil can be used in place of other oils for most of your cooking needs. 7. Get your resveratrol naturally. Resveratrol is one of the forerunners in the an -aging pill race, but more than likely, by the me they've manipulated it into a synthe c pill (like the fish oil discussed above), it won't be healthy for you. Although resveratrol is found in red wine, I can't recommend drinking wine regularly in the hope of extending your life, because alcohol is a neurotoxin that can poison your brain and harm your body's delicate hormonal balance. Instead, get your resveratrol from natural sources, such as organic whole grape skins and seeds, raspberries, and mulberries. 8. Exercise regularly, and correctly. Studies repeatedly show that regular, moderate-to-vigorous exercise can help prevent or delay the onset of hypertension, obesity, heart disease, osteoporosis and the falls that lead to hip fractures. Although a life me of regular exercise is ideal, it's never too late to start. It's been shown that even individuals in their 70s can substan ally increase both strength and endurance with exercise. I'm very excited about the research showing how high- intensity interval training can increase longevity as this specific style of training promotes human growth hormone produc on—yet another aspect of the longevity puzzle. 9. Avoid as many chemicals, toxins, and pollutants as possible. This includes tossing out your toxic household cleaners, soaps, personal hygiene products, air fresheners, bug sprays, lawn pes cides and insec cides, just to name a few, and replacing them with non-toxic alterna ves. 10. Avoid pharmaceu cal drugs. Pharmaceu cal drugs kill thousands of people prematurely every year—they are now the largest cause of fatal drug overdoses. If you adhere to a healthful lifestyle, you are less likely to "need" drugs since a healthy immune system will protect you from chronic disease. Incorpora ng these simple guidelines will help set you squarely on the path to op mal health and give you the best shot at living a long, happy life. Abby's Magazine - Volume 4 Issue 4 | Page 37
