HEALTH & LONGEVITY

 longevity
How to Stay YOUNG at Any Age 

 

I hope you are reveling in the beauty and bounty of spring as you embrace this season with your own personal growth, vibrancy, and abundant energy.  I've been traveling quite extensively this past month and wherever I go, everyone seems to be more alive, experience greater vitality, and feel the inner renewal of life during this time of year. Throughout many cultures, as reflected in art and literature, youth and young age are often associated as the "springtime of life." Perhaps you can consider the season of spring as a metaphor for you, regardless of age, to be living fully in the "springtime of your life!" With this idea in mind, I dedicate this issue to how you can manifest everlasting "Health and Longevity" at any age.

  

Last month I presented a class on the Neuroscience of Health and Happiness, in which I shared the latest medical research on how harmful thoughts, emotions and psychological stress directly compromise our immune system and accelerate the aging process. You can learn more in this month's article Stress, Health and Aging and also in the wonderful video in the side bar. In case you missed the last issue of the newsletter, I posted two great articles on your brain and the relaxation response, along with the healing power of the breath as more ways for you to cope with stress, improve your health, and enjoy a longer life!

 

Speaking of enhancing your health and longevity, I am so delighted for all of you who plan to attend the  Health, Wellness & Gourmet Living Retreat in the Loire Valley May 27 - June 2. What better way to enjoy the "springtime of your life" than in the nurturing, comforting, and rejuvenating embrace of spring in the French countryside! For those still wanting to experience this incredible week of deep healing, it's still not too late to join us. 

 

Lastly, if you happen to be or have friends who live in Paris, join us at the AWAKE with Dr. Jay Kumar Paris Workshops series  June 8-10th.

 

May you always be Living Your Light� as you enjoy the eternal springtime of life with abundant health and happiness. In the apt and true words of the famous centenarian and eternally happy comedian George Burns, "If you ask what is the single most important key to longevity, I would have to say it is avoiding worry, stress and tension. And if you didn't ask me, I'd still have to say it."

Health, Stress and Aging

  

Stress and Aging

 

We all aspire living a long, healthy, and abundant life. Despite our best intentions to remain young and stay healthy, aging is a fact that we all have to accept. While the latest anti-aging products, Botox injections, or cosmetic surgery maintain the outward appearance of youth and beauty, medical research now shows that you can actually slow down the aging process on the cellular level. Want to learn how?

 

Let's begin by exploring the aging process from a biological perspective. While many might regard aging as an external condition of looking older, in actuality physical aging appears to be the biological result of the inability for your cells to replicate and produce new ones as the body advances over time . One of the most startling and revolutionary ideas to come out of the medical sciences is the discovery of  telomeres, an enzyme in your genes that regulates cellular division and, in turn, determines your length of life. In essence, the length of your telomeres now appear to act as your body's natural biological clock. When under constant stress, your biological clock speeds up the aging process, resulting in the shortening of telomeres. On the contrary, when you're more calm and relaxed telomeres appear to extend their length, thus slowing down the body's biological clock. Let's take a closer look at how telomeres function, how stress accelerates their decay, what you can do to slow down their eventual breakdown, and ways to live a more healthy and long life!
