Aging From Inflammation Is Totally Optional. Here’s Why & How You Can Reverse It

Grounding, Medical Reports / By

    More evidence than ever shows that inflammation is not driven by biological age, but rather our lifestyle and environemental factors.  As I’ve talked about extensively on my blog right here, biological aging can be simplified down to a balance between inflammation that accrues over a lifetime vs. your body’s stem cell regeneration. Organ damage as a result of accrued inflammation is something that we associate so strongly with aging that it’s now called “Inflammaging” — depicted in the graphic below.  But while inflammation does drive damage to our organ systems and decreases our body’s ability to repair and […]

That’s because sugar create advanced glycation end products (AGEs)

Grounding, Medical Reports / By

  Can grounding help you preserve your stem cells as you age?  The medical literature on grounding suggests that answer is a strong yes. You have a pool of powerful regenerative cells inside your body — particularly in your muscles and bones — that are designed to help you heal, repair, and rebuild throughout your entire lifespan.  As we age, we lose some of our ability to regenerate tissue, maintain muscle, protect bone strength, and recover from injury because our stem cell reserve gets depleted. But something as simple and natural as grounding — just touching the Earth outside —

Healthy Mindframe, Medical Reports / By

    As I talked about in my last video on aging, aging can be simplified down to a balance between inflammation that accrues over a lifetime vs. your body’s stem cell regeneration.

Grounding, Medical Reports, Organic Lifestyle / By

    I recently attended a cutting edge medical conference on geriatric medicine and aging, full of updates on the latest medical research on what contributes to aging and what reduces our decline in function as we age. And again and again, every single factor that contributes to aging that was discussed at the meeting  had me sitting back in my chair thinking… “grounding would help with that.” One presenter talked about how the main component of aging is increased inflammatory cytokines and yep… we have studies that show grounding significantly reduces the levels of inflammatory cytokine levels in the
