Two Ways to Live Longer!Want to Live 100 Plus Healthy Years?
1.
Live Longer by Avoiding Glycation End Products (AGE).
Avoid added sugar products whenever possible because when you eat added sugar products, present in most commercially processed and prepared foods, the added sugar combines with proteins to produce AGE cellular sticky masses much like glue throughout your body, brain and between individual cells which rapidly slows your body's ability to be able to perform at its optimum level.
AGE not only causes rapid degenerative aging but also causes the electrical impulses and synapse in your brain and nervous system to no longer be able to process complex and quickly needed neural and nerve signals required for normal mental and physical reactions.
AGE also promotes inflammation, promotes aging skin by inhibiting proper collagen and skin revitalization and accelerates degenerative aging and immune deficiencies including Alzheimer's, heart disease, diabetes, macular degeneration and cancer among many diseases and illnesses linked to growing old.
Just avoiding sugar added products can prevent many of these degenerative illnesses and add decades of healthy vital years to your brain and to your life.
2.
Take Vitamin K to help promote better health, less osteoporosis, to prevent hardening of the arteries and heart disease.
New research indicates the importance of getting more natural based Vitamin K into your body, especially K2 in the MK-7 form Getting more Vitamin K into your system has recently been shown to be one of the most important nutrients required to help your body age optimally and may well allow your body to live up to 10 to 20 or more years longer than without getting enough vitamin k.
Vitamin K is not only essential to help your blood clot but to also help prevent bone loss and helping to prevent calcium that is leached from the bones settling and calcifying the arteries (hardening of the arteries) and heart valves.
The ongoing Framingham Nurse study of over 72,000 women over a ten year period and a similar Framingham heart study of 888 elderly men over a seven year period discovered that women in the lowest 1/5th percentile with the lowest amount of Vitamin K intake had a 30% higher risk for hip fractures than women with higher amounts of daily Vitamin K intake and men in the highest one-quarter percentage with the highest amount of Vit.
K intake had a 65% lower risk of hip fracture than those in the lowest one-quarter percentile of daily Vitamin K intake.

Taking the right types of Vitamin K through supplementation can actually help reverse calcification of the arteries and heart valves by helping to keep more calcium within bones.
Reducing the amount of calcium circulating in the blood stream can not only help prevent osteoporosis but can also be lifesaving by increasing healthy blood flow and reduced calcium hardening of the arteries which helps maintain better elasticity of blood vessels and this helps encourage better circulation of blood to all parts of the body.
There are several types of Vitamin K.
Vitamin K1 is found in vegetables such as leafy green vegetables, Vitamin K2 is also found in egg yolks, cheese and fermented soybeans which the Japanese call, natto.
A new type of Vit K2 discovered is called the MK-7 form of Vitamin K2 and can stay in the blood stream up to seven or eight times longer than Vitamin K1.
Taking a mixture of Vitamin K1 along with Vitamin K in the form of Vitamin MK-7 and also taking Vitamin K2 in the MK-4 form may provide significant overall benefits from the synergy of all 3 types of Vitamin K.
Unfortunately, mostly out of ignorance of recent research regarding the importance of Vitamin K, many doctors today advise patients taking Warfarin (Coumadin) to not take additional Vitamin K because of concern that taking additional Vit K may restrict blood flow by encouraging unwarranted blood clotting.
Such alarm is usually no cause for concern when taking moderate amounts of Vit.
K2 and by advisedly working with a doctor familiar both with anticoagulants, (blood thinners) and Vitamin K and who monitor routine blood coagulation with periodic quarterly or semi-annual blood tests.
Furthermore, long term studies are indicating that not getting enough vitamin K not only causes brittle bones but also helps contribute to the dangerous calcification of all important heart valves.
If the above was not enough exciting news about the benefits of Vitamin K, Vitamin K is also showing anti-cancer prevention benefits by discouraging inflammation and encouraging apoptosis of cancer cells, (deadly cancer cells dying a normal death and being replaced by healthy cells).
In addition, Vitamin K supplementation helps to improve better insulin usage in men with type II diabetes but longer term studies need to be done to see if this same improved insulin benefit apply to women.
I have found a great source of nutritional supplements that deliver great nutrition with low calories, yet are high in important vitamins, (including vitamin K), minerals, Greens and absorbable protein may be found at www.
