Anti-Aging: She's only 87 years old Watch her dance!

Do you ever think about what kind of shape your body will be in when you 87 years old? I know I do. When I saw this spry 87 year old dancing like she was 50 years younger I felt the need to share it with you. She is such an inspiration to me and I'm sure many others as well.



If this video inspired you too. I encourage you to do your research. I've got a ton on information on the anti-aging tonic I take right here on this blog. Look at the other videos and links I've gathered here on this site. In a nut shell though here is a brief overview.

So just what does our anti-aging tonic also known as resveratrol do?

EXTENDS LIFE --- by infulencing gene functions, resveratrol has been shown to extend the life of yeast cells, fruit flies,roundworms, fish and even over fed labatory mice.

New studies show it even slows the onset of virturally all aging diseases: heart, cancers, arthritis and Alzheimers.

Other new discoveries shows it does still more... repairs alcohol damaged livers, slows bone loss, boosts endurance, promotes hair growth, and re-energizes cells.

I don't know about you, but I sure would like to be dancing like this when I'm 87.... I take my teaspoon on anti-aging tonic daily, and have since it came out. It's amazing the little improvements I'm seeing in my body the longer I take this stuff.

Got a question? Call me and lets talk! 888.272.6701 ext #1

Resveratrol Anti-Aging Tonic the Natural Viagra?

As a long time blogger and researcher of benefits of the product we market I ran across some suprising information. You must remember this is just my personal findings from the research I done.

It has long been somewhat of a mystery as to why the French could eat a high fat, high calorie diet and have a lower incidence of heart disease and live long healthy lives. It was known that wine had something to do with it but over the last couple of years, compliments of Dr Sinclair of the Harvard Medical Center and Rafael De Cabo Phd., they may have isolated the properties that answer the mystery.

The key is resveratrol in the fermented skins of the red wine grape.

There have been published papers on the fact that people (or animals for that matter) who have calorie restricted diets live longer.

Resveratrol does many things for the body including fooling the body into thinking it is calorie restricted. Hence, the French eating high calorie, high fat diets (with wine) may live longer with less incidence of heart disease.

Here is some interesting information on various studies on resveratrol and the promising results.

- According to a study done by the Dept. of Science and Technology at the Ohio State University in 1997, resveratrol was able at a cellular level to inhibit cancer cells from dividing. It also demonstrated that the estrogenic activity was able to prevent post-menopausal bone loss.

- The Dept of Microbiology-Immunology NE Ohio University, College of Medicine, successfully treated hairless mice that had herpes lesions. Repeated tests with topical resveratrol had the same results. In the same year it was also discovered that topical reseveratrol reduced skin cancer by as much as 98%.

- In Nov. of 2006, Dr Sinclair and Rafael De Cabo, did a study on middle aged mice and the findings were extremely encouraging. The mice were divided into 3 groups; the 1st group was given a standard diet., the 2nd group a high fat, high calorie diet, and the 3rd group a high fat, high calorie diet with resveratrol. The 2nd group of high fat, high calories soon developed symptoms of heart disease and diabetes and shortened lifespan. The 3rd group with high fat, high calories and resveratrol had no symptoms of heart disease or diabetes and they were much more active than the second group even later in life. The third group of mice also lived up to 30% longer. (The standard diet mice faired as well as the 3rd group)

- In another study in April of 2008, patients who were treated with resveratrol before receiving radiation treatments, found that pancreatic cancer cells would die off during radiation sessions. This is very encouraging because pancreatic cancer can be very difficult to treat.

- Now, very interesting, what does resveratrol have in common with Viagra? They both open restricted blood flow. Viagra is limited to small blood vessels but reseveratrol opens both small blood vessels and main arteries. The circulation benefits of resveratrol may outperform Viagra.

- The reasoning behind resevratrol being hailed as the potential fountain of youth is because taking resveratrol regularly has been demonstrated to protect and or reverse DNA damage. Aging comes about when cells can no longer replicate cell DNA and thus begins the gradual decline of the body. Resveratrol stimulates what is called the longevity gene (caloric restricted diets) and it has been demonstrated that resveratrol protects and repairs DNA.

There is still much studying to be done on resveratrol, especially on humans but the research so far has been more than promising. A glass of wine a day can be beneficial but good quality, pure resveratrol anti aging tonic such as Shaklee's new product called "Vivix" has the potential for great health benefits!

Resveratrol Anti-Aging Tonic: Testimonials

The testimonials just keep rolling in on this amazing resveratrol anti aging stuff. Just today I get a message from a long time Shaklee distributor about his hair that was completely white now has lots of dark brown hair coming in.

As a cosmetologist I can speak from experience... generally when people loose pigment in their hair there are lots of underlying aging factors going on. Think about the saying "Your going to give your Mother Grey Hair" It's true stress in your life does lead to hair loosing pigment.

This is a quote straight from the message I got this morning...

"I've had independent verification that my formerly completely white hair now has a whole bunch of really cool dark brown hair coming on strong. Who knows what that means, but something is happening in the reversal of aging department. On another note, a friend of mine saw me striding along and mentioned, "Now that is a Shaklee-guy walk. You walk like a 30 year old". I thought about that and realized that I have lost virtually all of my 58 year old guy small aches and pains. When I run, walk, play tennis or exercize, all I feel is the joy of movement with no extra sensations. I really like that Vivix!" Bob

In this same message were a few before and after Cholestrol & Blood Sugar numbers.

Cholesterol Drops: I just wanted to let you know how my research went on VIVIX and Cholesterol.Well, I haven't taken any prescription medication for my cholesterol and my blood work came back great! My total Cholesterol dropped by 50 points!

I take a teaspoon of VIVIX everyday and 3 gel caps of OmegaGuard plus 2 Vita-Lea Gold vitamins. I was amazed and extremely happy and the best part is I wasn't even trying to eat well and I got these results. It has inspired me to eat better, now that I believe my numbers would be even better with just a few small diet changes and a little exercise.
I can't wait to tell everyone. Darlene, Maryland
