anti aging

There are various anti-aging products that are available on the market today. But did you know that there are three categories of remedies for anti-aging?

Categories of anti-aging

First is the "Antedeluvina Legend," which espouses a return to the diet of ancient times (presumably the Biblical times before Noah, as antedeluvian means "before the flood"). It suggests adoption of the Paleolithic diet of fresh fruits, vegetables, and a lot of game meat and elimination of processed carbohydrate-laden foods. This ancient diet supposedly eliminates modern diseases and prolongs life. Today's popular high-protein diets were inspired by this belief.

The second category is the "Hyperborean Legend," which suggests that when you travel to certain parts of the earth, you can live forever. Some of these places are called Soviet Georgia, village of Vilcabumba and Kashmir, inspired by the notion of Shangri La from the novel Lost Horizon. There are commercials now that say yogurt prevents aging and is consumed by old people in Soviet Georgia.

The last category is termed as "Fountain Legends" and promotes the idea of magic pills, water and potions that can delay aging and rejuvenate old skin. The idea is that aging was thought to be a result of losing some natural products. So by replenishing these biological properties, you can slow down aging.

Many anti-aging medicines have not been studied adequately nor received approval from the Food and Drug Administration. Do not equate availability with safety, as some of these herbal medicines and vitamin supplements may have harmful effects. Do not experiment with these products.

So before choosing the right nutritional products to help you delay aging, consult your doctor first.
