How to Look and Feel Younger as You Live Longer
Key Preventive Step: Measure Your Bio-markers of Unhealthy Aging

Chronic disease will be the greatest challenge in the next century.  Did you know that fatigue, arthritis, depression, allergies, diabetes, hypertension and increased cholesterol and weight are all signs of a rapidly pre-mature aging body.  They can also be prevented by a program of health care.   At the Natural Family Health Connecticut we help you design a healthy aging wellness program that is individualized to you to help you battle life’s major agers.

Research in aging at a major university has discovered key “biomarkers of aging” that can help you determine your “actual” age.  These biomarkers can be measured and compared with your chronological or “real” age.  Your “actual” age may be older or younger than your chronological age indicating the present state of health of your body.  Understanding your “actual” age biomarkers helps you understand where you can improve to increase your vitality, slow down accelerated signs of aging, lose weight, improve your body shape and look and feel younger.

               
To determine how gracefully you will age you need to look at your genetics, lifestyle, diet and environment and how well your body can adapt to the rigors and stressors of daily life. The good news is you will have some control over the severity and rate at which your body ages.

Test your biomarkers to identify your true biological age
The biomarkers of aging tests include the following tests:
Complete Male & Female Wellness Blood Profile Test
 Body Composition BIA Assessment of body mass, body fat and water ratio
Oxidative Stress and Antioxidant status test

Identify your present and genetic risks for a chronic illness
The Age of Genomic Testing is here 
Are you at risk for unhealthy aging? 
Do you have genetic risks factors that can lead to heart disease, arthritis, osteoporosis, Alzheimer or cancer?
Genes in and of themselves do not create disease. Only when they are plunged into a harmful environment unique to the individual do they begin to cause disease.
Genomic risk testing that can help you identify your individual risks is now available at our office.

Nutrigenomic Counseling Program
“Nutrigenomics” A new word added to the 2004 Webster’s Dictionary.  Its definition is:   The study of how different foods may interact with specific genes to modify the risk of common chronic diseases such as diabetes, obesity, heart disease, stroke and certain cancers.


The idea that you can now tailor a lifestyle program, foods and an eating plan to fit a persons genetic makeup that will help prevent the development of chronic illness is now possible with genomic testing.
