Fit and Youthful Life

Guest Author: Brue Baker


Due to technology and medicine, there are many ways for people to reverse the signs of aging. Plastic surgery procedures and anti-aging medical injections are becoming increasingly popular as more and more people look for anti-aging solutions.

Anti-aging medicine injections have become known as “a fountain of youth in a syringe.” These shots are a chemical cocktail of bits and pieces found normally floating around the human metabolism.

The ingredients are usually:

* Human Growth Hormone (HGH)

* Testosterone

* Progesterone

* Estrogen

* DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone)

Sometimes herbs will be added. But there are dangers of using anti aging medicine, just as there are dangers involved in any medicinal therapy.

We know so little about the abilities of hormones and how they communicate with each other. What we don’t know makes the dangers of anti-aging medicine injections almost inevitable. Who knows what will show up in thirty years when the first people to have this done are exposed to any potential long-term effects.

We Are All Individuals

Just as there are dangers with taking herbal medicines, there are dangers involved with taking anti-aging medicine injections. You have to take into account every medical condition, every medication, every supplement and every condition you are prone to get before taking anti-aging medicine. There is no “one size fits all” with any medicine.

The ingredients used in the medical injection are usually NOT tailored for each individual, but are made en masse. These are serious and often overlooked dangers of anti-aging medicines. Just because the shots seemed to help one person does not mean they will help you. On the contrary, they could trigger an allergic reaction or worse.

Anti-Aging Medicine May Not Work

There is no scientific proof that anti-aging injections will make you feel younger, if not look younger. The “evidence” is of questionable not-so-clinical trials and anecdotal evidence. Hormones and nutritional supplements are not the reasons why we age. In fact, we’re not entirely sure of just why we age.

And no medical insurance will cover anti-aging procedures. The high cost and low guarantees are one of the more practical dangers of anti-aging medicines. In conclusion, the potential dangers of anti-aging medicines far outweigh any results, in my opinion.

What If The Anti-Aging Treatment is Natural?

Although I would always recommend natural anti-aging products over medicine, the term “Natural” does not necessarily mean good for “your” skin. Take look at the ingredients and try the product out and see how it feels on your skin.

If it feels good, you see results, and it doesn’t irritate your skin you have found a good natural anti-aging product for you. There are a lot of products out there so try a few and use what you like best. Good luck on your journey towards health and wellness!

As little as a decade ago, anti-aging medicine was considered to be purely science fiction by some. Now, ten years later, a great many of the insights that have been put forth by anti-aging clinicians and pioneering researchers have become science facts.

Scientists know much more today about the deterioration that we all undergo and the vulnerability to disease that is characteristic of the aging process. Many of these newly found discoveries can be traced to the beginning of anti-aging medicine which heralded in a new era for not only an innovative health care model but an exciting scientific field of study as well.

Anti-aging medicine has grown to be a medical specialty that has been founded on the application of advanced medical and scientific technologies for the early prevention, detection, treatment and reversal of all age-related diseases. Anti-aging medicine has become a health care model which promotes innovative research and science to prolong a healthy lifespan in human beings. Anti-aging medicine is based on solid principles of responsible and sound medical care which are consistent with those that are applied in other preventive health care specialties. Anti-aging medicine is:

Scientific

The practices of anti-aging diagnoses and treatment are supported by scientific evidence. They cannot be branded as merely anecdotal.

Evidence-based

This branch of medicine is based on a direct and orderly process by which data can be acquired in order to formulate an objective yet scientific assessment so that an effective treatment plan can be assigned.

Holistic

This branch of medicine makes use of an organized framework for a diagnostic assessment based on the whole person and the subsequent plan for a treatment regimen.

Synergistic

This branch of medicine recognizes that often a multi-faceted approach may produce greater rejuvenating effects than just by administering a single therapy.

Anti-aging medicine has been well-documented by such peer-reviewed journals as Aging, Lancet, Journal of the AMA, American Journal of Cardiology and many more. Anti-aging medicine has its main focus on the application of highly technical diagnostic and treatment biomedical technologies so that it may come up with the earliest detection and the most aggressive care of disease. Anti-aging medicine’s goal is not just to prolong an individual’s life as far as years are concerned, but it wants to ensure that the individual will enjoy those years in a vital and productive fashion.

Anti-aging medicine has hastened the pace of advancement in preventive health measures as well as in health promotion. By putting into practice a proactive health program that embraces all elements of anti-aging preventive health care for yourself, the ability is increased for you to live a robust and long life in which you will spend abundant and quality time with your family and with its future generations.

Human performance scientists all across the United States agree in one accord that the best thing you can do to slow down the aging process is to stay physically active. Exercise experts now see “aging” as being inactive. Now, thanks to rehab advancements and high-tech sports medicine, men and women who are up in years (90’s and 100’s) are regaining mobility and strength from muscle training.

There is one lesson to be learned from this: It is never too late to begin an exercise program. However, it is best to get a jump start on exercising while you are still agile enough to do it.
