The reality of Anti-ageing Pills!

Exercise and a healthy diet are non-negotiable  for anti-ageing.  Often these are not enough, particularly for patients at risk of osteopenia, and osteoporosis.

The powerful antioxidant tablet is already used in anti-ageing products and by athletes to delay muscle fatigue. Humans today are a pill-popping species.

Can’t sleep?    Pop a sleeping pill.                  Aches and pains?        Take some painkillers.

Depressed?      Take anti-depressant pills.       Caught a cold?                        Take more pills.

See lines appearing on your face? Pop in an anti ageing pill.

But can anti ageing pills, give you a wrinkle-free face?

What causes wrinkles in the first place?

Healthy skin is made of 70% water, 25% protein (namely collagen and elastin) and 2% lipids. That means for skin to be healthy and young looking, your body needs sufficient water, collagen, elastin and fat. As you grow older, your body produces less collagen, leading to less support for your skin. Skin loses its firmness and wrinkles form. Exposure to the sun’s UV light causes collagen to breakdown more quickly, speeding the appearance of wrinkles.

Under-eye wrinkles could also be due to the rough handling of the skin around your eyes when you put on or remove makeup. Smoking speeds up the appearance of lip wrinkles, from the way a smoker takes a puff.  Actually, the best anti-ageing for you could be to quit smoking and to wear sunscreen all day long.

Anti-ageing foods are rich in antioxidants and contain healthy oils. Likewise, anti-ageing supplements include antioxidant pills and omega 3 oils. Anti-ageing supplements are based on antioxidants fight, by providing the body with the antioxidants necessary to neutralize those ageing free radicals.

The anti-ageing supplements work by supplying the body with the nutrients it lacks.  Omega 3 supplements or fish oil supplements provide your skin with the oil it needs. Without sufficient good fats, skin gets dry and ages more quickly. On top of that, supple skin needs moisture and moisture is kept from evaporating away by that thin layer of sebum on the skin. That helps relieve inflammatory age related diseases like arthritis, which is basically, joint inflammation.

Another popular anti-ageing supplement is based on the age reversing effect of growth hormones. That is where Human Growth Hormone supplements come into play. The popular ones contain precursors to HGH which can boost your body’s natural production of HGH, which reverses some of the signs of ageing.

There are many herbs and foods that help reduce the effect of ageing, and even more anti aging supplements based on the nutrients found in these foods and herbs.  If your body is lacking in any of these nutrients, such an anti-ageing pill that contains the nutrients you need would help you slow down or even reverse premature ageing. he best you can do is to keep your body as healthy as possible for as long as you can and to age gracefully.
