Can You Guess This Woman’s Age?

                                              

O.K., do you think you can guess this woman’s age correctly?   First, I’ll tell you a little about her to help you try to make the right guess.   She has worked in the education field for 12 years.  She has one son; although I won’t tell you his age as that would give everything away. She runs two or three 10.22 minute miles three times per week.  She can pull 100lbs using a Roger’s Row Machine in two sets of 25, her weight is 103lbs and she is 5ft, 8 inches tall.   She has completed one marathon and has run in several 5K and 10K runs.   It’s your turn, what’s her age?  Just to keep things interesting, I won’t tell you until the end of this blog. If, (knowing her age), you ask her about how she seems to have been able to retain such a youthful appearance she will tell you that there are two components to staying young.   One, she says, has to do with your mental attitude, and the other has to do with how you use your mental attitude to enhance your lifestyle and transform your body along with your life.

 

 

Part one of this youth retention program relates to how your mind affects your attitude towards yourself, and how that mental state can either take away from, or add to your youthful appearance.  Here is how that works.   Have you every heard the statement you could see the story of their life written on their face?  This statement refers to the path of wrinkles displayed there.   It is true; most people don’t know that it takes more muscles to frown than it does to smile.  Most people also probably don’t realize that frowning and smiling are two of the major wrinkle imprint sources.   “So, I guess I would rather have happy wrinkles over frowning wrinkles,” say’s our pictured lady.    As you age, your body begins to loose the ability to produce Collagen.  (Collagen Hydrolysate) is a complex structural protein that maintains strength and flexibility of skin, ligaments, bones, joints, muscles, tendons, gums, teeth, eyes, blood vessels, nails and hair.  This lady supplements her collagen production with SUPER COLLAGEN type I & III from the NeoCell Company.  This comes in powder and tablet forms.  You can learn more about SUPER COLLAGEN type 1 & III at –   www.neocell.com

 

 

So many people today are so busy trying to make their living and support their lifestyles that, without realizing it, they forget to give themselves time to simply enjoy living.   We become so wrapped up with concerns and obligations related to maintaining our livelihoods that we simply don’t take time to enjoy living life.  The simplicity of living and enjoying our lives is what gives us peace and contentment leading to a healthy mind and healthy body.   Many studies have proven that a good positive attitude can go a long way to enhancing the value of life itself.   When you value your life because you are happy with it; you suddenly find yourself looking for ways to make life more and more enjoyable.  Before you know it, you are out there exercising your body and participating in physical activities that enhance your physical appearance and also just make you feel better.

 

 

You feel better when you exercise due to the increase in endorphins which are released through your central nervous system caused by the increase in heart rate and the circulation of super oxygenated blood through your body as you exercise.    Another factor pertaining to the good in healthy exercise is that further studies have shown that many people today are deficient in Vitamin D because they work for long periods indoors.   Your body makes Vitamin D when it is exposed to sunlight.  The bodies manufacture and absorption of this vitamin is the only way that certain nutrients held within this vitamin are able to get into and support the function of the important internal organs of the body.   20 minutes per day of sunlight exposure is greatly needed and rarely gotten; especially with the suggested trend today of applying sunscreen to our skin when we are outside.

 

 

Vitamin D could be called the “Feel Good Vitamin” because that is exactly what it does.   Studies have shown that people such as gardeners, pool cleaners, and athletes have large amounts of this vitamin stored in their bodies and that this vitamin combines with the B-12 Vitamins and CoQ-10 enzyme supplements greatly enhancing the well being of these individuals both physically and psychologically.  Our pictured lady says that she can use her mind to meditate health and youthfulness into her body through a regimen of exercise, vitamin supplementation, and prayer meditation.   She says these three things do wonders for her.   

 

This woman is also a Vegetarian and has been for well over 10 years.   She says this really makes her feel energetic and healthy as she eats a lot of fresh vegetables and whole grain foods.   Because she does not eat meat, she also drinks one Atkins Protein Shake each day which provides 20 grams of protein as well as other vitamins.   When I asked her for a list of the vitamins she takes regularly to stay youthful and strong she gave me this list of supplements.

 

 

The information listed here is not intended to serve as a prescriptive to your personal nutritional needs. I list these supplements as they have greatly enhanced the pictured lady’s life.  Can you guess her age?   Here is her vitamin and supplemental (Fountain of Youth):

REGARDING CHIA SEEDS:  I use Nu-Greens (Brand Name) CHIA PURE 100% Pure Chia Seed.

About Chia Seeds:  One scoop per day provides 3 Grams of Omega 3’s, is a rich source of fiber and protein, and is high in antioxidants and minerals.

Gram for Gram Chia Pure provides 20X more Omega-3s, 6X more calcium that whole mile, 4X more protein than kidney beans, and 2X more fiber than a bowl of bran flakes.   Chia seeds have been called the, “Miracle Food of the Mayans!”, and as such are considered an ancient wonder grain that served as a power food for the Aztecs, Incas, and Mayans for over 3000 years.  Chia – the Mayan word for “Strength” was consumed in bread just before battle or mixed in water before running or hunting long distances to provide endurance and strength.   Because of its amazing nutrient value, chia seeds were prized more than gold and were even used as medicine.

THE NUTRITIONAL BENEFITS OF CHIA SEEDS ARE:

Excellent source of fiber – including 1gm of soluble fiber that forms a gel in the digestive tract which slows the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream, binds to toxins, and helps eliminate waste.

The highest known whole food source of omega-3s – even more than flax seed – and also has the perfect 3:1 omega-3 to omega-6 ratio which is essential for optimal health.

Good source of calcium, iron, phosphorus, magnesium and manganese.

Complete source of protein, with all the amino acids in perfect balance.

Can be added to any beverage or food, including cereal, soup, salad, yogurt, smoothies, and baked goods.

 

I mix one scoop with 8oz of V-8 Fusion, Strawberry, and Banana juice.  Note, I also add one scoop of NeoCell Super Collagen Type 1&3, which supports hair, skin, nails, ligaments, tendon, bone, muscle tissue, as well as assists in weight control.  I also add to the mix, one scoop of Certified Organic Triple Greens which I get from Purity Products.  One scoop of this contains dark green vegetables, two types of fruits, and flax seed fiber.

I also take (3) 500 mg Vitamin C for immune support, and also helps with elimination and colon cleansing.

And finally, I take (3) TriFlex soft chews of Glucosamine Chondroitin with MSM to promote joint mobility and flexibility and to assist with the rebuilding of cartilage. Each soft chew contains 500 mg of Glucosamine HCI, 400 MG OF Chondroitin Sulfate, Sodium, and 25 mg of MSM (Methylsulfonyl-Methane).  I take (GNC) ActiveCal 500 mg each chews in caramel flavor.  Each single chewable provides 50% of the daily value for calcium in a great tasting that is not chalky.  Each chew also supplies Vitamin D that aids in the utilization and absorption of calcium and Vitamin K for added bone support. 

 

To my fellow Neothink® Bloggers, I am not being ego centric here; I just couldn’t find any other woman willing to display their picture for an age rating.   So, with myself on the age rating chopping block, I will tell you that I am in the 50/60 year age range.   Shhhhhh……, A Woman’s got to keep her secrets.  LOL
