Reverse the Aging Process

I have found the actual fountain of youth. This is not a hopeful, good idea, rather a protocol proven via clinical trial to reverse the aging process.

If you could delay or reverse the age related declines in memory, balance, and coordination, what would you do for that effect? Would you choose to be mentally sharper and more agile?

The method of testing these functions included: balancing on a thin rod and measuring the time to fall, which is an objective measurement of balance and coordination. For memory, they measured the time it took to complete a maze. The tests were performed on “senior citizen” rats that showed age related declines compared to their offspring.

There was a control group, that no alterations to diet or environment were offered. The study groups were fed spinach smoothies and blueberry smoothies.

The rats were fed the supplemented diets for 8 weeks before the challenge tests were performed.

The blueberry group dramatically improved their rod walking time versus their first trial and versus the average old rats. By eating the blueberry smoothie, they doubled this objective measure of balance and coordination, and effectively reversed the aging process in the brain.

The spinach group found their way in the maze twice as fast as the control group on the second trial. The second trial, of course, being the test for memory, or recalling your way through the maze. By eating the spinach smoothie, they doubled their speed and accuracy of memory.

This study was done in 1999. For years I have used the spinach, blueberry smoothie formula to fortify my diet with brain enhancing and anti-aging nutrients.

The formula I use:

1 scoop Whey Protein
1 scoop Greens First http://www.greensfirst.com/1280/content_doc.asp
½ cup frozen blueberries
1 handful of fresh spinach
Filtered water or whole raw milk
Blend

I mix it up using frozen cherries, raspberries, cranberries, and have used kale, broccoli sprouts, and other sprouts. The spinach has a mild taste that works well, while the kale and sprouts “takes over” the taste of the smoothie. If I had cancer or something like that, I would choke down the sprouts however.

By the way, another trial was done using young rats, fed very similarly, and the results showed that typical age related declines were delayed with the supplemented group.

Also, Dr. Barry Sears reported that he used this formula along with high dose fish oil with late stage alzheimers, and described these changes. “Prior to the supplements the patient would not acknowledge her family or talk, and stared at the floor in front of her. Following the supplemented diet, the woman began to talk and interact with her family, even calling them by name.”

We need to eat our spinach and berries anyway…why not give it a try for 6 weeks and see how you feel and function?
