What is critically important to remember is the very significant
connection between heart disease and Alzheimer's disease. And, beyond
that, it's very important to realize the importance of keeping your
weight down to a good level.
Why? As you can probably imagine, obesity is a risk factor for both
heart disease and memory loss. It just goes round and round, doesn't
it.
Let's skip the usual but important discussion of eating less and
exercising more for a moment and focus on a point that is often
forgotten or perhaps under appreciated: increasing your metabolic rate
so you burn more calories at rest.
As human beings, we have a unique ability to store ingested calories
as fat. That was vitally important a long, long time ago and saved
countless lives during things like famines and plagues and wars when
food wasn't readily available.
Today however, it sometimes seems as if excess food has become a
curse in areas where there is an overabundance of food (of course,
some areas of the world are suffering from famine as we speak).
Many people with excess weight and body fat have tried various diet
and exercise programs. The failure rate of relying on these approaches
alone can be seen by walking through an airport or going to the mall
or going grocery shopping. It's quite a challenge, isn't it?
A major reason people accumulate excess body fat, especially with
age, is that the aging process itself is associated with a profound
drop in metabolism and calorie burning. I remember very vividly myself
that when I was in my 30's and 40's - all I had to do to lose weight
was to think about it.
Now it is much more of a challenge.
One recent study revealed that that as we age, we suffer a greater
decrease in resting metabolism; what scientists call resting energy
expenditure. This helps explain why dieting alone so often fails to
provide long-term weight control, and why it is so important to boost
your resting metabolic rate if you want to lose weight and body fat.
Until recently, besides diet and exercise, the only supplements that
were available to boost metabolism were frankly very dangerous. In
fact many of them have been removed from the market.
With the development of the Longevity Green Drink and the Longevity
Energy Caps you now have very safe and effective ways available to you
to boost your metabolism and get a welcomed side effect: you can boost
your brain power with both of them as well.
