Anti-Aging Vitamins

The anti-aging vitamins are none. There is simply no such thing as an anti-aging vitamin. The hype on vitamins is from the days of deficiency diseases. The most studied deficiency was scurvy. The British Navy was powerful and yet still weakened by this nutritional disease. Once they figured out that a little lime juice prevented scurvy, they were ready for long voyages that allowed them to conquer the world. What fascinates me more is the belief in vitamins. During World War Two, the Germans were convinced that the Americans had a special substance, which was vitamin A, that allowed pilots to see at night and see even keener during the day. The enthusiasm for vitamins continued after the war and continues today. In my book, I point out that we are awash in vitamins from just eating a healthy diet. Even white refined sugar has other elements in it besides glucose. It also contains chromium and other trace elements. So even a Twinkie has some nutrition in it, though I am not recommending a Twinkies based diet. The secret to longevity is total calorie count each day and slowing your metabolism. The more you slow your metabolism, the greater the effect of longevity! That fact stirs me every day. So, don't worry about vitamins at all. You are rejecting more vitamins than you can possibly utilize each day, so your urine is getting most of the vitamins you take. Read my book. Study it's methods. Real life extension is easy and can be a part of your life. It has to be. Take vitamins though, if you feel you have to. I know many people who can not let go of that limiting belief.
