According to Dr. Judith Reichman, in her book "Slow Your Clock Down", there are some solid disease prevention and anti-aging stragegies. The top strategy she lists is to make exercise a priority. The Woodlands Personal trainer Melissa agrees with this and has helped many clients improve the quality of their life through exercise. The doctor also recommends managing weight by eating a balanced diet of fish, chicken, and turkey, veggies, egg whites, nonfat yogurt, whole grains, nuts  and fruit. She appears to promote the use of real food in the diet instead of manufactured foods such as weigh loss drinks or meal replacement bars. Real food supplies more of essential nutrients that the bodyneeds.  Fitness trainer Melissa is a firm believer in eating natural food and she relies on a clean diet to help give her the energy for her workouts and other activities. No engineered food can really match the flavor and nutritional availability of vitamins and minerals and other things we still do not even know about found in real food. So instead of a protein bar,  eat a hard boiled egg. Instead of a flavored soda, drink water with a squeeze of real lemon.Instead of a slim fast drink, eat an apple, a slice of turkey and some baby carrots. You will feel fuller, and you will give your body more variety to draw nutrients from.
One of the concerns of aging also is alzheimers and to reduce the risk of this disease by 60% it is important to get at least 500 mg of Vit C and at least 400 IU of Vit. E. as these two vitamins  help prevent this disease.




Also eaing several servings of yogurt every day will help reduce belly fat bulge by 81 percent. According to the directore of nutrition institute at the University of Knoxville, three servings of yogurt supresses calcitrol, which is a compound that tells the body to store fat. By helping the body to burn fat with yogurt, and keeping the belly flat, a person will have a more youthful appearance. Also, eating grapefruit, strawberries or kiwis, which are high in viamin C, will help in the absorbtion and breakdow of nutrients, which is important because age and health problems sometimes prevent good nutrients from being properly absorbed from the diet. To get the most benefit from the foods we eat, it is helpful to add natural sources of vitamin C to the diet.
