‘AGE PROOF YOUR BODY’ Says Anjali Mukherjee

Most of us feel that as we grow older our skin will naturally age too, our waistline will expand, and hairline will recede, arteries will weaken and so on. Renowned health and fitness expert Anjali Mukerjee advices you on how to slow down the aging process by changing your diet…

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF A HEALTHY DIET?

The age to which you live need not be determined by your parent age. You can reshape your health problems, provided you know how to go about it. The length of your life, the way you feel, how you look depends to a great extent on your diet and the lifestyle choices that you make.

You can post- pone disease and ill health by making changes in the food to eat. Because you eat food at least three times a day. It has a profound effect on almost every aspect of mind and body. It affects your enzyme, your hormones, therefore, your mood, blood, body organs, bone & health in general.

DISEASE & HEREDITARY

Many aspects of your body are genetically coded. All of us are programmed to precipitate some form of disease at a particular age. Our heredity can to a certain extent influence our state of health. But not entirely! If your parents have suffered from heart disease and will also discover that you have clogged arteries it is possibly not due to heredity but due to similar dietary patterns and lifestyle!

YOUR DIET & YOU

“ Life is too short, let us live it up”, some say! But how many of us ‘think’ about the quality and health benefits of food before putting it in the mouth? We proceed to eat foods that accelerate the aging process, cause cancer, diabetes & heart disease, weaken their bones, make them obese to the extent that they are not able to ‘live it up’ any more. Health problems attack them early in life, and they by force cannot eat. If you get accustomed to a particular diet, you will find it very difficult to change your eating pattern later in life. Such people usually end up with a long list of medication and diets, which they find impossible to follow because their taste buds and habits have robbed them of health.

When you changed the foods you eat the difference that it can make to your health can be astonishing. Some problems that you may have thought were genetic may vanish. Your success at eliminating health problems greatly depends on your motivational levels. If you are motivated and willing, you can gain a new level of health and a new body. Fortunately for us the human body is very forgiving. The best time to get healthy is—NOW!

At any given age you can let the natural power of food work for you.
