Total Well Being at Forties for Women.
During this decade, your sex life is better than ever. 30 percent of women aged 35 to 50 have an orgasm every time they make love, compared with 16 percent of 21-24 year olds. But hormonally the forties are a time of major flux. The reproductive hormones are declining, and generation of the anti-aging human growth hormone (HGH) slows down.
Must do
Get cancer protective
Only one in 10 cases occurs to the under 50’s, but cell mutations begin 10 to 15 years before tumors appear. Ingredients called salvestrols in plants are proving to be cancer protective, but conventionally grown products have low levels of these as they are created when the plant tries to defend itself against pest attack. Foods which in salvestrols include broccoli, spinach, olives, all red fruits and herbs such as parsley, sage and basil. Promote immunity by selecting healthy foods that reduce inflammation of the body. Cancer cells need inflammation to sustain their growth. Handpicking the best choices of food such as whole wheat bread and pasta, organic meat, olive oil and eggs of hens has beneficial effects.
The therapy to try
Transcendental meditation
Levels of HGH increase by up to five percent after a meditation session, which could be one reason why transcendental meditation devotees live longer than non practitioners.
The supplement to think about
Uncaria tomentosa (cat’s claw)
Components of cat’s claw may boost the ability of white blood cells to digest and kill an invading germ. This is potentially a super plant. This is the single most proactive means of improving the body’s own natural DNA care mechanisms, and developing larger levels of healthy DNA can simply affect the rate at which we age.
The surprise health boost
Get your eyes tested
An appointment at the opticians can reveal not only age related macular degeneration, the number one preventable cause of blindness in later life, but also high blood pressure and cholesterol.
