In the 40’s throughout the 60’s, the United States
experienced high birth rates, otherwise known as the “Baby
Boom.” Thus, people born within this era were called “Baby
Boomers” who were known to wear mod clothes, sample
hallucinogenic drugs, and rock with the Beatles. Great
times. But where are the Baby Boomers now? At the turn of
the millennium, some of them are in their 40’s; the oldest
already approaching retirement age.
Times have definitely changed; so have the Baby Boomers. They
have noticed that their former youthful exuberance and
ravenous virility are slowly fading away. This holds true,
especially among the men. They may notice that their
hairline is -- frightfully -- receding, their memory seems
to be growing cobwebs and their sexual performance
declining. Others may also experience insomnia or other
sleeping problems, aches and pains, sweating and flushing,
increased fat, loss of muscle mass and strength,
irritability and crankiness, and even depression. Most men
this age will basically experience one or all of these in
varying degrees.
When a man reaches the age of 30, his testosterone (male
hormone) levels naturally and gradually declines. It does so
at a staggering rate of 10 percent per decade. Since
testosterone helps maintain sex drive, sperm production,
pubic and body hair, muscle and bone, the consequences of
aging slowly emerge as a man ages.
But do not despair. There are several ways to help Baby
Boomers defy the effects of time. They should create a
strategy for a healthy lifestyle that incorporates optimal
diet, supplements, regular exercise, stress management, and
natural hormone enhancement.
Today’s diet is deficient in many essential nutrients, but
high in sugar, fat, and salt. Your diet should ideally
comprise of 25% protein, 25% fat, and 50% carbohydrates.
Your protein intake should primarily be from plant sources
like tofu and beans, with modest amounts from animal sources
like meat. Fat from nuts and olive oil are preferable than
from animal products. Eat a lot of fruits and vegetables
since these are the main sources of carbohydrates. As much
as possible, steer clear of junk foods, colas and anything
with refined sugars (e.g., doughnuts) since they induce the
production of cortisol, a primary age-inducing hormone.
Diet alone cannot meet all the necessary nutrients needed by
our body. Thus, you need to take supplements like vitamins,
minerals, antioxidants, and other nutritional factors to be
able to meet your daily requirements.
Physical activity can also alleviate the symptoms of aging.
Since aging decreases your bone and muscle mass, it is good
to have regular exercise which includes cardiovascular,
flexibility, and strength training. Getting regular exercise
has shown to help increase your metabolism, allowing you to
burn more fat. It also strengthens your heart and keeps your
body flexible. Furthermore, exercise stimulates the
production of growth hormones, which helps to rejuvenate
aged cells and reverse the aging process.
Stress only accelerates the aging process. That’s why
another key element in your anti-aging strategy is stress
management. Try relaxing activities such as Yoga, sports,
meditation, reading, massages, etc. These activities let you
focus on other things and help you calm down and loosen up.
Another way to put off the common symptoms of aging is by
natural hormone enhancement. The human growth hormone,
produced by the pituitary gland, is largely involved with
regulating the growth of body tissues. HGH comes in
injections, spray and supplements (pills and tablets) which
stimulate the pituitary gland to naturally increase its
production. However, you should first consult with your
physician before trying out anything.
Aging poses a great impact in the quality of our lives; but
with a healthy lifestyle (including proper diet,
supplements, regular exercise, stress management, and
natural hormone enhancement), you can reduce or even prevent
the symptoms associated with aging.
