Nutrients And Exercise Halt Aging!
By: Mark Rosenberg, M.D.
Thank you for joining me for the continuation of anti-aging strategies. In Part I, we talked about how nutrition and sleep can have a profound effect on aging. Today in Part II I’m going to go over specific supplements, namely vitamins and herbs that have been found to be beneficial in anti-aging regimens. In addition, we’ll talk about how you can naturally boost your human growth hormone (HGH) levels with exercise and by eating specific foods. Let’s start with the supplements.
Supplements Beneficial in Anti-Aging
At the end of part I, I mentioned some very scientific sounding compounds, Ornithine Alpha ketoglutarate (OKG) and Alpha GPC, and that they contribute successfully to an anti-aging supplement regimen. Let me explain why:
Orthnithine Alpha Ketoglutarate (OKG): An amino acid that aids in making other proteins, and rids excess nitrogen and ammonia from the body through urination. It also helps synthesize other proteins required for cell growth and change. It aids in healing tissues and induces the secretion of growth hormone. Sufficient ornithine is required for these important cell regeneration processes to take place which makes it an important agent for anti-aging regimens.
Tone and burn fat in the arms
Don’t use very heavy weights unless you want to build muscles. If you want to tone and burn fat in the arms, light weights are the way to go.
Obviously, a lot changes with age. That is especially true for those who didn’t take the extra time to take care of their bodies. Poor diet and minimal physical activity will show on your body and your face. Of course, we can only see the exterior, but the interior of the body is also suffering with those lifestyle choices that we made all along. You will definitely see a change in the upper arms, which will only worsen as you do get older. They become flabbier if they are not properly exercised, to the point where you wave hello and they continue to greet others without your consent.
How to Workout Abs While Working at Your Desk and Get a Flat Belly
Age changes almost everything in the body. Of course, there is the grey hair, the wrinkles, the age spots, thinning hair, menopause (in women), and a slew of other things. But one of the best things that anyone can do in order to fight premature aging and start antiaging is to start exercising. This can be quite challenging for everyone because of their busy lifestyles, however it is doable. It only depends on how dedicated you are, and how creative you can be. For example, some light exercise that can help you work out your abs, while at work would be ideal. Did you know that you can achieve a flat belly, faster, even while working?
Aging involves weight gain, muscle loss and especially, belly fat. For some reason, at or about age 40 makes fat rest at the belly area. This is unhealthy and can cause many problems. For example, those who have belly fat are more likely to develop cardiovascular diseases. In addition to that, having weak abdominal muscles and extra weight around the waist often leads to back problems.

What are the Anti-aging Benefits of Cardio Fitness Training
Continuing an existing exercise regime is much easier than starting from scratch. But, even the one you know well and follow may require some changes because the body gets used to the exercises. It’s difficult to get the right program that fits in with your schedule and your personality. A cardiovascular workout should be the place to start for anyone. You may be wondering what are the anti-aging benefits of cardio fitness training as opposed to other types. Any type of exercise is better than none, but if you are going to put precious time into it, it may as well be the best it can be.

Muscle-Strengthening Activities – What Counts!
Besides aerobic activity, you need to do things to strengthen your muscles at least 2 days a week. These activities should work all the major muscle groups of your body (legs, hips, back, chest, abdomen, shoulders, and arms).
To gain health benefits, muscle-strengthening activities need to be done to the point where it’s hard for you to do another repetition without help. A repetition is one complete movement of an activity, like lifting a weight or doing a sit-up. Try to do 8—12 repetitions per activity that count as 1 set. Try to do at least 1 set of muscle-strengthening activities, but to gain even more benefits, do 2 or 3 sets.
The Benefits of Physical Activity!
If you’re not sure about becoming active or boosting your level of physical activity because you’re afraid of getting hurt, the good news is that moderate-intensity aerobic activity, like brisk walking, is generally safe for most people.
Start slowly. Cardiac events, such as a heart attack, are rare during physical activity. But the risk does go up when you suddenly become much more active than usual. For example, you can put yourself at risk if you don’t usually get much physical activity and then all of a sudden do vigorous-intensity aerobic activity, like shoveling snow. That’s why it’s important to start slowly and gradually increase your level of activity.

Aerobic Activity – What Counts?
Aerobic activity or “cardio” gets you breathing harder and your heart beating faster. From pushing a lawn mower, to taking a dance class, to biking to the store – all types of activities count. As long as you’re doing them at a moderate or vigorous intensity for at least 10 minutes at a time.
Intensity is how hard your body is working during aerobic activity.
How do you know if you’re doing light, moderate, or vigorous intensity aerobic activities?
For most people, light daily activities such as shopping, cooking, or doing the laundry doesn’t count toward the guidelines. Why? Your body isn’t working hard enough to get your heart rate up.
