cal scavengers (see figure two). Notice that although these older people have apparently benefitted from heavy exercise, as demonstrated by their improved muscle mass and definition and simultaneous loss of body fat, these benefits appear to have been achieved at the expense of rapid aging of their faces and graying of their hair! If they had taken optimum amounts of free-radical scavengers as contained in ACF228™, the effects of heavy exercise would less likely have caused age-related damage to their faces and hair. Alternatively, these people should have balanced their hormone output to reflect that of young people in their twenties and thirties. Balanced hormone output
usually means consuming daily the above-mentioned sex hormones and key upstream hormones, as well as corrective amounts of thyroid and adrenal hormones (Armour™ thyroid and hydrocortisone).
Aging and Speed I believe that heavy exercise in older people merely speeds up the process of aging. The same effect is experienced in people young-or-old who use methamphetamine. This illicit drug (‘speed’) will indeed hasten aging and physical deterioration. I have measured free radicals in intravenous speed users, using near-infrared spectroscopy, and determined that the highest levels of free-radical metabolites, namely lipid peroxides, occur when speed is injected
into the arm (2). In addition, I recommend avoiding most synthetic pharmaceutical stimulants, which, like speed, may encourage rapid aging. I believe these legal drugs should only be used in cases of emergency or dire need, because they are the fourth leading case of death in the USA. (3)
False Impressions about Diet, Exercise and Aging On February 12, 2015, the Diabetes and Endocrinology section of the Lancet published a study about a widespread misconception concerning diet, exercise and aging in the United States. Professor Christopher N. Ochner and his colleagues from Mt. Sinai Hospital, Colorado, stated that Americans wrongly believe that weight
loss can be achieved merely from diet and exercise. On the contrary, he stated, “Once obesity is established, however, body weight seems to become biologically ‘stamped in’ and defended.” He further said, “The average adult with sustained obesity has less than a 1 percent chance of re-attaining and maintaining a healthy body weight without surgery.” This ‘stamped in’ effect is largely caused by free radicals that slow our metabolism, and decreasing amounts of hormones that prevent us from efficiently burning the calories we consume.
Other Types of Stiffening As stated previously by Prof. Schnohr, excessive exercise can cause arterial stiffening.
