Supplements for Slower Aging

If one spends less, one can grow wealthy.

If one reduces inflammation, one can grow healthy bodies, organs and cells.

Melatonin 3 mgs during the evening at 9pm.

DHA 900-1000mgs daily.

The two supplements above reduces inflammation by inhibiting the immune system in the cell which costs energy and building blocks to repair.

Health =. 3M/BDNF minus inflammation.

OR

Health =  3M/BDNF plus Melatonin and DHA.

Supplements are free but very affordable.  Melatonin is pennies per day and DHA is About 40 cents per day.

The Simple Advice for Improved Health and Longer Life

The measure of economic value is return on investment.  How much money for how much work?

The measure of health value is also return on investment.  How much health for how much work?

Here is an abridged how to improve health with minimum work or cost.

For details read my DrLiverman.blogspot.com

Step 1.  Increase BDNF, the memory, mood and metabolism improving chemical that is produced by healthy lifestyle practices.  BDNF is brain derived neurotrophic factor that I will simply nickname 3M for memory, mood, metabolism.  3M can be measured in the blood just like money can be counted in the wallet.  Wealth is more money.  Health is more 3M/BDNF.

STEP 1.


Three steps to increase 3M  which requires no money and 8 total minutes per day for 5 days per week OR a whopping total of 40 minutes per week.

1.  Intermittent weekly fasting.  Simply skip two meals one day per week and consume only sugar free beverage instead of food for two meals.

2.  Two minutes of slow belly breathing 5 seconds in and 5 seconds out twice daily 5 days per week.  Cost 20 minutes per week.

3.  4 minutes 5 days per week of Tabata high intensity intervals.  8 cycles of 20 seconds of fast activity jumping, cycling or sprinting followed by 10 seconds of rest.  Cost 20 minutes per week.  Tabata timer is free smart phone app.

Each of the above increases 3M or BDNF and is an effective promoter of metabolic health.

I ask you to begin these three practices as an experiment and observe the change.  Consider measuring change in the following:

Waistline.
6 minute walk distance.
Blood pressure.
Mood.
Mental function.
