Are the Signs of Aging Reversible?
In a recent article by the American Academy of Dermatology (the largest, most influential and most representative of all dermatological associations), they state that antioxidants can slow or even reverse the signs of aging! In the article titled “Vitamins to Protect Against and Reverse Aging: The Truth vs. The Tall Tales”, they list known vitamins and minerals that have shown the ability to slow or even reverse the signs of aging. However, they state, “when used as a topical treatment (applied externally to the skin), very few are actually effective in preventing or reversing the signs of aging because they “contain very low doses of antioxidants and are not well absorbed by the skin.” They report that when taken orally (in the correct dosage) there is considerable benefit to the skin, which should not be discounted when considering supplements. These benefits include:
# Better elasticity of the skin
# Decreased wrinkles and
# Healthier looking skin
The article concludes by stating that: “Most people will get their recommended daily allowances (of the proper anti-aging nutrients) if they eat more than five servings of fruit, vegetables and juices, but we can all benefit from taking supplements.”
As noted above, the effectiveness of supplements in slowing the aging process is dependent the proper combination of ingredients used, and the dosage and most importantly, how well the body absorbs them. All three factors must be present to provide any real benefits. One of the measures of a supplement’s ability to be absorbed (hence utilized) by the body is the ORAC rating. The higher the ORAC rating, the easier it is for the body to absorb the supplements.
The Physicians Desk Reference said that of all the 83,000 supplements tested, VIBE is the nutritional supplement that has the highest ORAC rating. VIBE has an ORAC rating that is almost triple that of its nearest competitor. You can copy the link below to your browser for more details on VIBE: www.switchtowellness.com/goodhealthessentials
If you are now taking or are even considering including nutritional supplements into your daily routine, why not choose one that improves your health and helps you keep that youthful appearance.
