Reverse Premature Aging. Another year has passed. Do your know where your aging is at?
This article provides a psychic and scientific look at aging.
Using ESP I Reversed My Age! Reverse Premature Aging
As I was guided intuitively to follow certain steps to help reverse my age I decided to create the acronym ESP for this process.
Quite often I am taken for a woman at least ten years younger.
It was not always this way. About ten years ago I looked like I was ten years older than my age.
I was getting sick every few weeks with a ghastly upper respiratory infection.
I held about twenty pounds of excess weight.
I was tired all the time.
My face looked like I was beaten up.
I had gone to a traditional Medical Doctor to peer into my body. I was trying to understand why my immune system was so ineffective. I literally thought I was dying.
The doctor ran a blood panel. He found nothing and looked at me helplessly.
I was forced to figure this out on my own so I began the heavy task of psychically inspired health research.
My psychic eye led me to follow the following steps, which are organized using the acronym ESP. ESP is a play on Extrasensory Perception, however, in this context it stands for
- Eat Less, Exercise more.
- Sleep, Supplements and Societal Support.
- Purpose, Peacefulness and Plants.
E Stands for Exercise More and Eat Less: Reverse Premature Aging
Exercise may very well be the most important principle to reverse premature aging. Learn more in this article from Harvard Health HERE.
Eating less and even fasting is another key principle of age reversal. Here is a great study from PubMed on calorie restriction for longevity.
During this sickly time, I was over eating, due to stress and not exercising at all due to time restraints. I had been working 60 to 80 hours a week doing this psychic work.
Is this something you can relate to?
S Stands for Sleep, Supplements and Societal Support: Reverse Premature Aging
Sleep is a key cornerstone of age reversal. Here is a great article on how to improve your sleep. I have done most of what is on this list and all I can say to you is, “it works!”
Supplements. Great list is from Healthline HERE.
Societal Support. During this time, I had lost the love of my life. He had broken off with me for various reasons, which I could not avoid.
Loss of love could be a big trigger negatively impacting your health.
This can be generalized into societal support where you are mutually supportive of people in your community.
Societal support is an integral aspect of health most clearly proven in the Blue Zones. In these geographic areas a high percentage of people live to be over 100 years old.
They all enjoy a closely knit community, where mutual support is integral.
P Stands for Plant Based Diet, Portions “Pequeno,” Purpose & Peacefulness
Plant Based Diet has been proven to be the best diet for age reversal. Here is a study. Plant based is different from Vegan in that it emphases plants, but does not forbid animal foods.
Learn more about plant based diet by the Forks Over Knives website.
Purpose. The Japanese call it Ikigai (pronounced “ee-key-guy“) . Those with a purpose, enjoying a passion, slows down the aging process.
Peacefulness. Meditation can be used to help you find your inner Zen. Being centered and stress free is another component of age reversal.
Overview of How to Reverse Premature Aging
I asked ChatGPT to provide a summary of what can be done today to enhance age reversal. This is a pretty good summary.
Reversing or slowing down aging involves a holistic approach that integrates various lifestyle factors. Here’s a summary of the key strategies known today across diet, exercise, supplements, sleep, meditation, and societal/community engagement:
1. Diet:
- Caloric Restriction & Intermittent Fasting: Reducing calorie intake or practicing intermittent fasting (e.g., 16:8) can activate pathways associated with longevity, such as autophagy and improved metabolic function.
- Antioxidant-Rich Foods: Diets rich in antioxidants (fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds) help combat oxidative stress, a key factor in aging.
- Healthy Fats: Omega-3 fatty acids (from fish, flaxseeds, walnuts) and healthy fats (e.g., olive oil, avocados) support brain function and reduce inflammation.
- Plant-Based Diet: Emphasizing plant-based foods with high fiber and polyphenols (e.g., leafy greens, berries, beans) supports longevity and gut health.
- Limit Sugar & Processed Foods: Excess sugar and processed foods contribute to inflammation, insulin resistance, and aging-related diseases.
2. Exercise:
- Strength Training: Regular resistance exercise helps maintain muscle mass and strength, which naturally decline with age, and boosts metabolism.
- Aerobic Exercise: Cardiovascular activity like walking, cycling, or running improves heart health, circulation, and brain function, and reduces chronic disease risk.
- High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT): HIIT can improve fitness and promote mitochondrial function, helping cells function better and delay aging.
- Flexibility & Balance Training: Yoga and Pilates can improve flexibility, posture, and balance, reducing the risk of falls and injuries in older adults.
3. Supplements:
- Vitamin D: Vital for bone health, immune function, and preventing age-related conditions.
- Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Found in fish oil, omega-3s support heart health, reduce inflammation, and maintain brain function.
- Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10): Helps maintain energy production at the cellular level, promoting vitality and reducing the effects of aging.
- Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (NMN) / Nicotinamide Riboside (NR): These supplements support cellular repair and increase levels of NAD+, a molecule involved in energy production and aging.
- Curcumin: The active ingredient in turmeric, curcumin has potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.
- Probiotics: Gut health is crucial for overall well-being and aging, and probiotics help maintain a healthy microbiome.
- Resveratrol: Found in grapes and berries, resveratrol activates longevity genes like sirtuins.
4. Sleep:
- Quality Sleep: Consistent, restorative sleep (7-9 hours per night) is essential for cellular repair, cognitive function, and emotional well-being.
- Sleep Hygiene: Good sleep practices, such as keeping a regular sleep schedule, creating a dark and quiet environment, and limiting screen time before bed, can enhance sleep quality.
- Deep Sleep: Deep sleep (slow-wave sleep) is particularly important for repair and regeneration at the cellular level.
5. Meditation and Mental Health:
- Mindfulness & Meditation: Practices like meditation, deep breathing, and mindfulness can reduce stress, lower inflammation, and improve brain health. They also help manage the psychological aspects of aging.
- Stress Management: Chronic stress accelerates aging through hormonal imbalances (e.g., cortisol), so regular stress-reduction practices are vital.
- Positive Thinking & Mental Well-Being: Fostering a positive outlook, practicing gratitude, and nurturing emotional health contribute to longevity and reduce the effects of aging.
6. Societal/Community Engagement:
- Social Connections: Having strong, supportive relationships is linked to better mental and physical health and can reduce the risk of chronic diseases associated with aging.
- Purpose & Engagement: Maintaining a sense of purpose, through hobbies, volunteering, or active involvement in meaningful activities, has been associated with longer, healthier lives.
- Active Social Life: Regular social interactions and belonging to a community (e.g., family, friends, groups, or clubs) have been shown to reduce stress and promote well-being, especially in older age.
Conclusion:
These strategies are supported by scientific research and are integral to fostering a long, healthy, and active life.
