Although there is no “fountain of youth,” there are many foods and natural compounds that can help combat the consequences of normal aging, like memory loss and sagging skin. Recent research has uncovered the potential power of antioxidant compounds found in berries for fighting some of the undesirable effects of aging.
As I have before and still do, I highly recommend a whole, live food product.

In less than 30 seconds and at temperatures below 100º F, fruits, vegetables, and sprouts become blendable powders, rich combinations of fruits, vegetables, enzymes, trace minerals, probiotics and seeds, nuts and sprouts, and waiting to be brought to life by the water you add.

Healthy Energy
When you make live, whole foods part of your daily diet, you’ll immediately start to notice some changes in how you feel. For starters, you’ll sleep better at night and awaken feeling rested and alert. You’ll find that as you go through your day you think more clearly and feel more energetic the whole day through. LiVE and ReVive don’t merely provide long-term health benefits—They deliver an immediate, noticeable change in how you feel.
•Greater Mental Clarity
•Improved Endurance
•More Restful Sleep
•Long-lasting Energy
Natural Weight Loss
One of the great advantages of LiVE and ReVive’s whole food nutrition is that your body will become accustomed to the best kind of nutrients. As a consequence, you’ll be less likely to crave snack foods and other hollow calories, less prone to the between-meal hunger pangs that seem to undermine your attempts to lose weight. Meanwhile, your digestion will improve as your body benefits from a natural cleansing process that helps your body retain only what it needs to keep you feeling fit.
•Less Hunger
•Fewer Cravings
•Improved Digestion
•Natural Cleansing
Personal Vitality
It is an established fact that the natural whole foods in LiVE help your body to function better overall. One reason for that is that live, whole foods are high in antioxidants, phytonutrients and enzymes, which means that they help reduce the negative effects of toxins that build up in your body. At the same time, however, such nutrients tend to increase oxygenation (which is good), meaning that your blood remains richer in oxygen to supply the functions of healthy cells. Many people also report that whole food nutrition helps to reduce stress and improve their overall sense of well-being.
•Reduced Stress
•Improved Circulation
•Increased Oxygenation
A recent study, presented at the National Meeting of the American Chemical Society, analyzed the effects of certain compounds found in berries1. Researchers found that antioxidant compounds from berries may activate and protect special cells within the brain (known as microglia) which help remove the buildup of toxins that can lead to memory decline.
As part of the normal aging process, microglia can become dysfunctional, either failing to do their job of “cleaning up” the brain or actually damaging healthy cells, both of which are associated with age-related cognitive decline. This new research suggests that consuming antioxidant-rich berries, including blueberries, strawberries and blackberries, may help protect the brain from the gradual buildup of harmful toxins that can affect proper cognitive function.
In addition to their brain-boosting benefits, berries may also help counter the effects of aging on the surface of the skin. A recent study published in Experimental Dermatology revealed that ellagic acid, an antioxidant compound found in various berries, may actually reverse skin damage (including wrinkles and inflammation) caused by UV-B radiation2.
Researchers used a topical preparation of ellagic acid on human skin cells and hairless mice exposed to UV-B radiation. Results showed that the application of ellagic acid to the skin prevented inflammatory response, as well as the destruction of collagen, the compound responsible for skin’s firmness and elasticity.
Another similar study analyzed the effect of antioxidant-rich bog blueberry extract on human dermal fibroblasts (skin cells) exposed to UV-B radiation3. Researchers discovered that the extract reduced collagen breakdown and inflammation in the exposed skin cells. The study author hypothesized that the anthocyanins (antioxidant compounds) found in the blueberry extract may have a protective power against UV-induced photoaging, a common cause of wrinkles.
I believe in the power of antioxidants – and this research only confirms my thoughts that a healthy diet can help make the natural aging process as smooth and graceful as possible. I recommend eating plenty of dark-skinned fruits, such as blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, cranberries, cherries and grapes, as these typically contain a higher concentration of antioxidants. I particularly recommend eating fresh fruit and/or freshly prepared fruit juice, or frozen fruit when fresh is not available. Alternatively, one may drink commercially prepared, vacuum packed fruit juice. For skin protection and preservation, I suggest looking for a facial cream or serum that is enriched with antioxidants such as resveratrol (commonly found in grape skin), vitamin C or CoQ10. To your best health always!
And I have found that using my whole live food product LiVE and ReVive are the easiest and cheapest way to get what we need into our bodies. I highly recommend that you visit http://www.mynuriche.com./connieclark and read more about this phenomenal product. You can’t do better than this.
