Aging And Denatured Proteins

As my book is on Life Extension and the ways to avoid aging, I want to tell you about denatured proteins and aging. If you look old, you are old. If you look young, you are young, as there is a tremendous amount of variability possible in our rate of aging. A person fifty years old can look anywhere from thirty to seventy, as I have seen both wild extremes. We are aging faster in our high intake big eating society. Eating more speeds up your metabolism and increases your rate of aging. Eating less, slows your metabolism and makes you live longer. White hair, wrinkled skin, loose skin, and big bellies, give clue to the amount of protein denaturation a person has experienced. Skin becomes less flexible as it gets more cross-linking of it's proteins. Sun is the most damaging to skin as it causes rapid cross-linking. My advice is stay out of the sun. Or, wear a wide brimmed hat, sun screen, or carry an umbrella to block the sun from your face.
The agents of protein denaturation include, heat, like from the sun, alcohol, acids, heavy metals, like lithium, and other poisonous chemicals too numerous to list. I have long been an advocate of staying out of the sun, not exercising heavily, not drinking alcohol, and avoiding drugs and chemical exposure. This plan has worked well for me as I have slowed my rate of aging by half. Many people increase their rate of aging by double or more. Especially methamphetamine addicts, who look decades older while they are still chronologically young. So take charge of your health and your rate of aging. Buy my book and apply the technologies and techniques I describe to reduce your aging now. It truly can be done. I have seen it work.
