You will often find that depending on your state of health, that your biological age may be much lower or much higher than your chronological or real age.

The factors that affect your biological age or how fast you are aging in real terms are things like genetics, nutrition, exercise, supplements, stress, mental outlook, drugs, and any serious health condition.

For example, let’s take two people that are exactly the same age according to their birth certificates. Let’s say both of these people are 45 yrs of age.

One of them may have very good genetics, excellent nutrition, good exercise habits, has a toned slim body with a low body fat percentage, doesn’t smoke or drink, has not had any serious illness, and has a peaceful and calm mind. His assessment of Biological Age may indicate that he is in real terms only 35 yrs of age.

The second person may have average genetics, very poor nutrition, little or no exercise, is overweight with a high body fat percentage, smokes 1 packet of cigarettes per day, drinks alcohol regularly, is always stressed and anxious, and has suffered numerous serious health conditions. His assessment of biological age may indicate that he is in real terms 57 yrs of age.

So as you can see, we have 2 people with exactly the same chronological age, but vastly different biological ages.

This is why the field of Anti Aging medicine is so exciting: it is possible by various interventions (diet & nutrition, supplements, exercise, detoxification, hormone therapy, oxygen therapy, stem cell therapy, meditation and relaxation therapy etc) to not only stop the aging process but to reverse it. Your biological age can be changed to extend your lifespan and to make it healthy and disease free.

How Can You Measure Your Biological Age?

There are various ways you can check to see what you biological age is and some you can even do yourself at home. Let me describe a few simple tests that you can do right now.

Firstly there is the skin elasticity test which measures the health of your skin.    Deterioration of your skin is often one of the first signs of aging.

To do this test simply pinch the skin on the back of your hand between your thumb and index finger for 5 seconds. Let go and then time how long it takes for the skin to flatten out completely. If you are less than 30 it should take less than 1 second; If you are 40 it should take about 2 seconds; If you are 50 it should take about 5 seconds; If you are 60 yrs it should take about 10-12 seconds; if you are 70 yrs it should take about 35-40 seconds.

If your test result is much longer than it should be for your age, it is an indication that your skin elasticity and tone is deteriorating at a faster rate than normal, and that in fact your biological age may be higher than your chronological age.

The next test you can do is called the falling ruler test, which is a test of your reaction time. Slow reaction time is a sign of aging and deterioration of your nervous and muscular systems. To do the test you will need an 18 inch ruler, preferably a wooden one. Then someone hold the ruler at the top (large numbers down), while you place your thumb and index finger about 3 and a half inches apart at the lowest point of the ruler. The person then lets go of the ruler without warning, and you must try to catch the falling ruler between your two fingers as fast as you can. Repeat the test 3 times then take an average of the result.

The average results for a 20 – 30 yr old are the 12 inch mark on the ruler; if you are 40 -50 the average result is the 8 inch mark; if you are 60-70 yrs the average result is the 5 inch mark.

Once again, any variations from these averages will indicate either a lower or high biological age.

Body Age Monitor

A more accurate and detailed way to measure your biological age is to use a specific body age monitor which can instantly measure numerous bodily parameters to give you an accurate and fast reading of exactly what your body age is.

This body age monitor takes a reading of your resting metabolism, which is one parameter that can reflect your actual biological age. Other measurements taken include your total weight, body fat percentage, and skeletal muscle percentage.

I have found that your body fat percentage plays an important role in determining how fast your body is aging in real time. The more body fat you have, the faster you will age, as excess body fat is directly linked to aging and disease (i.e, heart disease, diabetes, cancer, stroke, etc).

In particular it is the amount of fat around your abdomen and around your internal organs which is even more dangerous to your health. This is called your visceral fat, and is also measured using the body age monitor.

Once all these measurements are taken, your body age can be quickly determined.

I add my own assessments to this score as I include factors such as overall body toxicity, nutrition & diet, smoking and alcohol intake, stress and anxiety levels, recent history of serious illness and disease, high blood pressure, and high blood sugar readings. All these factors are additional age stressors on the body and will directly contribute to fast aging and disease.

Once your biological age has been determined, steps can be taken to immediately reduce this. And yes it most certainly can be reduced drastically if you make the necessary changes to your lifestyle and follow the appropriate anti aging advice.

Often you will find that you can change your biological age results in a matter of months, and you can drastically improve your health and well being in the process.

Often by firstly completely detoxifying and cleansing your body, changing your diet, commencing an exercise program, removing cigarettes and alcohol from your body, and taking appropriate supplements to help to detoxify and rebuild your body, you will find that you can make a dramatic improvement in your biological age and general health and well-being.

So it is important to know exactly how fast you are aging, as once you know this you can take the appropriate steps to try to slow down you aging rate and halt this process.

So if you are a man approaching 60 years of age maybe you should start to think about how you can minimize your risks of developing this disease and what you can do to prevent prostate cancer from developing.

Prostate cancer prevention is in my opinion the best option for any man, as once a serious illness like this takes a firm hold of you, it is far more difficult to treat.

A recent study in England (published in the British Journal of Nutrition) has looked at the effects of a high fat diet on prostate cancer risk. The aim of the study was to look at the role of dietary fat intake and its derivatives on the risk of early onset prostate cancer.

The researchers studied the diets of 512 men with Prostate Cancer within the UK and compared them with 838 healthy men. What they found was that those men with the highest average intakes of total fat had an increase risk of Prostate Cancer by 153%, compared to those men with the lowest average fat intakes.

The researchers concluded that there was a positive statistically significant association between prostate cancer risk and intake of total fat in this group of men.

But in my opinion this association does not necessarily mean that there is a direct link – there are many other factors that lead to the development of cancer and these also need to be addressed. It’s highly likely also that the men in this group who ate large amounts of fat also had very few fruits or vegetables in their diets.

Hence rather than being caused by the high fat intake, the higher risk of prostate cancer could possibly have been to lower levels of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals.

One should not always quickly jump to the most obvious conclusion – it’s not always the most accurate.

Prostate Cancer Causes

So the what causes prostate cancer? Good question – we still don’t know the exact answer, but like most cancers there are many factors that come into play.

As men get older their levels of testosterone drop alarmingly, and their levels of estrogen rise significantly. Yes even men have estrogen, but in much smaller amounts than women. However, as men age and start to develop those lovely extra fatty deposits, this in turn leads to more estrogen production due to an enzyme within the fat that converts testosterone into estrogen (aromatase enzyme).

And guess what higher levels of estrogen do to your prostate gland? They cause it to grow, and they can also cause the growth of abnormal cells which can be the precursors to cancerous cells.

This is called estrogen dominance and I believe it is high on the list of what causes prostate cancer.

The role of toxicity cannot be dismissed as a major causative factor in the initiation and progression of any cancer. We have seen the cancer rate steadily increase year by year and this is directly reflected in the growing level of toxicity in our society, and therefore in our bodies.

Heavy metals (mercury, cadmium, lead, arsenic, aluminium) are extremely toxic in even small doses, yet are widely used in many products in our society. These toxins (and many more) are not easily cleared by your body and they therefore accumulate in your tissues and organs leading to cellular dysfunction and disease.

Good nutrition is also of vital importance in my opinion – without a good daily supply of all the essential vitamins and especially minerals, your cells will start to become abnormal and malfunction. Prostate cancer nutrition is no different to nutrition for optimal health – give your body all the essentials that it needs!

A regular intake of antioxidants (from fruits & vegetables and also supplements) is also very important for cellular protection from oxidative damage. Without this protection your cells’ DNA can become damaged, which is the first step towards cell mutation and hence cancer.

Finally and vitally, a lack of oxygen in your blood is a critical risk factor for not only prostate cancer but for any type of cancer. As we age the number of red blood cells that carry oxygen to our tissues starts to drop leading to a slow but significant oxygen deficit. Also, smoking, poor nutrition, lack of exercise, excess alcohol, and a body full of toxins and chemicals all lead to a low total body oxygen level.

Cleansing your body of toxins, reducing excess estrogen levels, taking a daily supply of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, and making sure your blood oxygen is at a good level are the keys to minimizing your chance of developing prostate cancer or any other disease for that matter.

Sadly our foods are mostly mineral depleted, which leads to a chronic mineral deficiency of many minerals including the all important selenium. In my opinion this is a major cause of illness and disease. Low levels of selenium have been linked with all the major degenerative diseases and it is therefore critical that you consider supplementing your diet with this mineral.

Selenium can drastically lower your chances of developing many types of Cancer, including lung, colon, prostate and liver.

It also acts to help your body fight cancer by triggering apoptosis in cancer cells – this leads to death of the cancer cell. Selenium also cuts of blood supply to tumor tissue which stops growth and leads to tumor death.

A recent study also revealed how Selenium also lowers your risk of developing osteoarthritis. Researchers showed that the higher the levels of selenium in your blood, the lower your risk of developing osteoarthritis.

Selenium is one the most powerful antioxidants that you body can use and it provides strong protection for your bones, joints and cartilage tissues.

Selenium also reduces the risk of LDL Cholesterol (the bad one) from causing arterial damage. It therefore plays a large role in reducing your risk of developing heart disease.

So then how can you increase the levels of Selenium in your body?

The best dietary sources of selenium are red meats, fish and brazil nuts. Unfortunately there is very little selenium in fruits or vegetables: this is why vegetarians often have selenium deficiencies.

I recommend that for disease prevention you should take 100 micrograms of selenium every day, either from your diet or by supplementation. If you have any form of degenerative disease you can take 200 micrograms daily.

Don’t neglect the powerful positive effects selenium can have on your health: this mineral is a “must have” for anti aging and for good long term health. I make sure I take it daily, and so should you.

Anti aging doctors are currently researching new methods to halt and even reverse the aging process, and to bring back youthfulness and vitality to people like you.

Anti aging supplements are vital components to any anti aging program and should be considered early on in order to help prevent aging and disease. There are numerous agents or supplements that have been labeled as anti aging, but you should be careful and look closely at the facts as not all of them are effective.

An anti aging supplement that is particularly effective is Astaxanthin.  This is the most powerful antioxidant in nature and has been shown to have many potent anti aging properties including: protecting the skin from ultraviolet radiation, protecting muscle tissue from oxidative stress, protecting cell membranes from free radical damage, and protecting the brain from damage associated with aging.

I would strongly recommend that you add astaxanthin to your must have list of supplements for longevity and good health.

An anti aging hormone is one which leads to age halting or even age reversing effects on the human body. Anti aging hormones are keys to any anti aging therapy: such hormones include human growth hormone, testosterone, melatonin, progesterone, estrogen, DHEA and pregnenolone.

These substances play a vital role within the body to prevent aging and disease and to keep one youthful and healthy. I would recommend that you work with an anti ageing doctor who is experienced at using anti aging bioidentical hormones, rather than synthetic hormones: the former are safe and very effective, whilst the latter cause disease and poor health.

I firmly believe that natural hormone therapy is a key to anti aging. Hormones are critical to your health and they must be kept at optimal levels in order for you to fight disease and keep your youth.

All the above factors are vital as parts of an anti aging therapy, however whole body detoxification is in my opinion the missing link that will keep you looking and staying young and healthy for a very long time. Failure to include regular detoxifications as part of your anti aging therapy will lead to an accumulation of toxins in your body and will most certainly eventually lead to poor health.

Detoxification programs usually involve some degree of dietary modification or a detox diet. A detox cleansing diet often consists of very light raw vegetarian  food (eg, fruits, salads and vegetables) or even a juice fast, which involves drinking only fresh raw vegetable juices and eating no solid food.

A liver detox diet should also be considered as part of a detox program and can include lots of fresh vegetable juices and garlic (high in selenium and glutathione) which will help your liver expel any accumulated toxins – a healthy liver will greatly assist your body to recover from any illness and as such it must be cleansed as part of any detoxification program.

However this is only just the beginning: any serious body detoxification programs need to work at a much deeper level than this and should aim to cleanse all the 5 major elimination organs of the body – liver, colon, kidneys, lungs and skin.

Without completely cleansing all these major organs and also the blood and lymphatic systems, which are also critically important to your body’s overall ability to detoxify itself and maintain its health and vitality, you will not be able to effectively cleanse your body in the long term as toxins will not be adequately removed from your body.

Alcohol detoxification is another sub-classification of detoxification, and with the current high level of alcohol abuse in our society, an alcohol detox is something that any good detox program should include. An alcohol detoxification program will consist of therapies that can quickly and effectively cleanse the body and the blood and allow the individual to regain good vibrant health without feeling any serious detox symptoms.

Any serious detox centers need to be able to offer comprehensive detox programs that can effectively and quickly remove built-up toxicity from all the organ systems of the body, and also completely cleanse the blood and lymphatic system. Drug detox centers that offer these type of detoxification programs must be supervised by qualified medical doctors that are able to respond to any detox crises that may arise.

The whole body detoxification program that I have developed (now available in Bali, Indonesia)  in my opinion is the most intense and thorough detox program available in the world at the moment.

This program, which includes advanced medical therapies such as whole body ozone therapy, ozone colon hydrotherapy, intravenous glutathione & vitamin C infusions, and much more, is a must for anyone seriously interested in totally cleansing their body of all toxicity and retaining their lost energy and vitality.

This simple therapy has been shown to reduce your chances of developing heart disease or cancer by 300%. And best of all you can do it anytime you want and it doesn’t even have to cost you anything.

I’m talking about regular exercise. Yes that’s right, just by getting off the sofa or out of your bed and exercising for a short time every day (or at least 3 x week) you can extend your life, improve your health, get your body slim and toned and even keep your mind calm and focused.

Yes regular exercise can do all this and more. So stop making excuses and get off your butt and start moving – go for brisk walk along the beach in the morning, how about a bushwalk, or a nice swim? Care for some Salsa? All of these are fine, and there is so much more you can do.. just use your imagination and find something that you enjoy.

I will talk to your further about the best forms of exercising for Anti Aging in future posts, but for now just make a start if you’re not already doing so and make regular exercise a part of your life. You will thank yourself for this later I am certain.

Anti Aging Tip

Apart from exercising as a potent antiaging weapon, I recommend a yearly whole body detoxification as the other major life span extending natural therapy that you must be doing for your long term health.

When you combine regular exercise with a whole body detox, you will immediately notice the difference to your overall health. Don’t overlook these 2 powerful anti aging tips – use them correctly and you will start to halt the aging process.

Here’s to Staying Young and Healthy

Dr Theodore

If you want to stay young you have to think young, and then to believe that you can actually stay young and you can reverse the aging process. Without first doing this you are wasting your time taking anti aging supplements and hormones and using other therapies.

Believe It And You Will See it!

The power of a strong belief system to manifest incredible changes in peoples’ lives is a well documented fact – there is nothing more certain.  Believe that you are young, healthy, happy, and full of energy and vitality with total certainty and you surely will see positive changes happen in your life.

For anyone with any serious illness, this is even more important. Start right away believing that you are healed, that you are well, that you are living a happy, healthy life and enjoying every day with your loved ones. But do more than this: start actually visualizing all the wonderful things that you are doing now that you have your perfect health and happiness.

Close your eyes every day and picture vividly and clearly all the great and fun things you want to do and start seeing yourself actually doing these things in your mental imagery. Do this daily, at least once a day. Start smiling as you picture yourself in a state of complete health and happiness, as you really begin to truly believe with all you energy and with all you will power that what you are seeing in your mental imagery is really what is going to happen to you in real life.

And in fact, if you have already believed what you have pictured in your mind with all your heart, then it is only a matter of time before this is manifested in your physical world. You mind and your thoughts direct your physical body – so whatever you truly believe on a sub-conscious level will most certainly manifest itself in your real world.

If you deep down fell a sense of fear, uncertainty, and apprehension about the future and about your health, then that is what you will get.

However if by your positive thoughts and strong positive beliefs and clear mental pictures about your future you are filled with hope, optimism, love, hope, health and happiness, then all these wonderful things are what you will start to experience in your life.

Think your way to a wonderful healthy life – there is no better time to start than now.

God Bless

So what do I personally believe is the best anti wrinkle cream or the best anti wrinkle products?

There are so many products hyped as being the best wrinkle creams out on the market at the moment that trying to search for the best wrinkle cream or product will take forever.

In my opinion, if you’re looking for the best anti aging products or therapy’s you don’t need to look at a cream or a facial treatment as such.

Best Anti Aging

If you are really wanting to find the most potent anti aging products and therapies available just follow these hints and you will be well on your way to achieving anti aging benefits to your whole body unlike anything that the best anti wrinkle cream on the planet will give you;

Firstly remove all toxins from your body and system by doing a whole body detoxification. This will immediately remove all the toxic load that is leading to aging and disease from your body. Just by doing this alone, you will often see an immediate improvement in your complexion and in your skin appearance and tone. In my view this is one of the most powerful antiaging therapies that you could ever do. Don’t for a moment neglect the huge surge in energy and vitality, and the complete rejuvenation that a whole body detoxification can bring to you. If you do nothing else, you must to this!

Secondly, boost the oxygen content of your body and your cells. Oxygen is the most important nutrient for your body and for your cells bar none – it is the fuel that drives life itself and that is the spark for energy production in your body, and is the catalyst behind vibrantly functioning cells and a healthy strong body. High oxygen content in your blood and cells’ directly leads to anti aging, vibrant health, loads of energy, great sexual stamina, excellent brain function and memory, strong heart and lung function, and so much more

Low oxygen content of your body and cells leads to just the opposite: fast aging, poor health, low energy, poor sexual functioning, slow brain function with poor memory, and weak heart and lung function, and even cancer and other degenerative diseases.

In fact the link between low oxygen levels in the blood has been directly linked with all the most common degenerative disease of our time, and in particular with cancer. Cancer cells flourish in a low oxygen or hypoxic environment, and start to die off as the oxygen content of their environment increases.

You can immediately increase your blood and body oxygen content by using whole body ozone therapy which is the most powerful way I know to flood your blood and body with large amounts of life giving ozone and oxygen.

For a long healthy life and for true anti aging, forget the latest or so called best anti wrinkle face cream and just follow the life changing hints that I have given you in this article. Your body and your cells will thank you for it I am certain.

God Bless

Hippocrates the father of modern medicine (400BC) described the enema as useful way to clean the intestines. His writings were used in many medical text books and the enema was a popular medical treatment for numerous health conditions and for general body detoxification.

In the 17th Century the enema was very popular, and most households kept an enema kit handy. In fact it was common for many people to have three to four enemas a day.

Dr Harvey Kellogg in the 1900’s was famous for his health retreat where he helped many thousands of people heal from all sorts of health conditions using mainly diet, exercise and enemas. He was reported to have successfully treated over 40,000 people with his simple yet powerful therapies. In fact he was quoted as saying that he believed that over 90% of all diseases that affect humans were related to a malfunctioning colon, and they could be reversed by proper nutrition, exercise and with the regular use of enemas to clean the colon.

What Is a Coffee Enema and How Does it Work?

Coffee enema is a way of introducing water containing coffee into the rectum. This does not have the same effect as drinking coffee orally. The veins in the rectum are very close to the wall of the tissue, hence the coffee is taken up into the veins much easier and in much higher concentration than when it is taken orally. It is then take directly to the liver by the portal circulation.

When it reaches the liver the coffee and its metabolites( theophylline and theobromine) has a two-fold effect: firstly it acts to stimulate the liver detoxification enzymes which causes an increase in the blood detoxification, and secondly it causes the bile ducts to open fully and to release more bile.

The liver is responsible for clearing the blood of most of the toxins and poisons it contains and if the liver is not able to do this function well, a build-up of toxins will flood your body leading to illness and disease.

The coffee enema when properly used can lead to a large boost in the function of the liver detox enzymes (glutathione and superoxide dismutase) which directly leads to cleaner blood and a healthier body.

Also as the coffee enema causes more bile to be produced and more bile to flow through the bile ducts, a toxic liver can purge large amounts of toxins through the bile rapidly to detoxify the body of large volumes of toxins.

This can give rapid relief to all the body and can often lead to a feeling of wellness and relief, especially for someone who is heavily burdened with toxins and disease.

How Can You Do A Coffee Enema?

To perform a coffee enema you need the following enema equipment:

An enema bag with enema nozzle, pure organic coffee (preferably raw coffee), pure distilled or reverse osmosis water, lubricant (oil or vaseline), a quiet clean area where you can be alone and will not be disturbed, and which has a tile or timber floor (in case of leakage!), a towel, tissues or toilet paper, a watch or clock, and some relaxing music or a book.

After you have boiled the pure organic coffee for a few minutes on the stove, simmer it for 5 minutes on low heat. Then allow it to cool. You will need to add some more cool distilled or reverse osmosis water to the coffee mixture to make sure it is at body temperature.

Filter the coffee to make sure there are no solid bits of coffee in the mixture, then pour it into the enema bag with the enema nozzle outlet clamped closed. You will need to fill it up to the 1 liter mark.

Place a towel on the floor where you will perform the procedure, and have some pillows ready to support your head.

Lay on your right side and then lubricate the tip of the enema tube and also your anal region with some lubricant. Take a deep breath and insert the tip of the tube into your rectum, no more than 3 inches.

After it is inserted you can then slowly open the clamp to allow the coffee mixture to flow into your rectum. But please do this slowly as if too much fluid is released too quickly you may feel spasms and you will not be able to hold the coffee for the required time.

As you slowly insert the coffee mixture, it is a good idea to stop and pause as you feel the pressure build up and then gently massage the lower left side of your abdomen to allow the coffee to flow past the bend in your colon here known as the sigmoid flexure.

After all the coffee has been inserted into your colon you should try to hold the fluid for 12-15 minutes. This may not be possible the first time you do the enema, but with practice you will be able to build up to this slowly.

Keep massaging your abdomen whilst you are waiting for the time to elapse. You can roll over onto your back after several minutes on your side, and continue the massaging.

Focus on your breathing as the urge to release the content of your bowels start to overwhelm you, and try to hold for at least 12 minutes. After a maximum of 15 minutes you can then go to the toilet and release your bowel contents. As you do this it is best to squat with your feel on the toilet seat so that your thighs are pressed up against your abdomen. This supports your colon and prevents a prolapse or weaknesses in the colon wall from occurring (which can lead to diverticular disease and other problems).

I  include a raw organic coffee enema as part of my whole body detoxification program, as I believe this enema is one of the most powerful ways to detoxify your liver, which in turn acts to clean your blood from many toxins.  This whole body detox program effectively cleans the whole body from toxins and chemicals and is the ultimate way to purify your body. This is the most powerful medical program for completely cleansing your body of all the toxins (both internal and external) you accumulated in your tissues over the years which are causing you illness and disease and are likely leading to premature aging and degeneration.
