There are a few simple lifestyle changes we can make to help us lose and maintain a heathy weight, feel better, look better and even slow down telomere shortening as much as possible.
Recently, Dr. Andrews, a molecular biologist who has studied aging at a molecular level for more than 15 years, was interviewed and he shared seven of the best known ways science knows of now to slow down telomere shortening to help us live longer, healthier lives:
-
Don’t ever smoke. Smoking is not only hazardous to your lungs and cardiovascular health, but is also found to increase rate of telomere shortening, which can lead to dysfunction and instability of chromosomes.
-
De-stress your life. The more stress you have in your life, the greater risk of increasing the rate of telomere shortening and aging more quickly. How to slow it down? As simple as it might sound, the key is to always have a positive outlook on life. Plus, enjoy a vacation once in a while, enjoy friends and social activities, receive plenty of sleep every night, and try meditation.
-
Exercise regularly. By increasing amounts of physical activity, especially intense physical activity, research shows you could keep your telomeres long and healthy, even buffering the effects of chronic stress.
-
Get your antioxidants daily. When high amounts of free radicals attack cells (causing oxidative stress), they leave no stone unturned making chromosomes and their telomeres vulnerable to shortening. You can best protect yourself by getting plenty of antioxidants in your diet from eating fruits and vegetables daily and supplements.
-
Never go without fish oil. Fish oil contains long-chain omega-3 fatty acids that are well-known for being healthy to the heart, but recent evidence has shown that increasing amounts in the diet is associated also with slowing telomere shortening over time. You can get enough by eating fish a couple of times per week and by supplementing with long-chain omega-3s daily.
-
Get enough of the “sunshine vitamin.” Several discoveries have made vitamin D the most popular nutrient of the decade because of its many benefits including an association with longer telomere length. You can make sure you’re getting enough by practicing safe sun exposure and supplementing with vitamin D daily.
-
Practice safe weight loss. Maintaining a healthy weight is important to keep telomeres long. Incorporating a healthy eating regiment or using Isagenix products into your weight-loss program can be helpful for losing weight and slowing telomere shortening.
We would like to add drinking plenty of water and getting enough rest. Taking these simple steps can change everything!

If you are not going to follow an Isagenix Program,
make sure that you have a plan to follow and you have the cooking supplies that you will need. During the Holiday Challenge you will have 200-300 calories for breakfast, 300-400 for lunch and 500-800 for the the rest of the days total intake.
For those of you on Isagenix, Dec. 13th will be a Shake, Shake, 600 calorie meal day. Dec. 14th will be a Shake Day too.
Here is the plan:
Pre Cleanse/Shake Days-
You’ll drink two IsaLean® Shakes, eat one 400 – 600 calorie meal and you can have up to two healthy snacks.
AM 1 -2 ounces Ionix Supreme (not included in a 9 day)
8:00 Shake and Nat. Accelerator
12:00 Isagenix Snack (Optional) and Nat. Accelerator
1:30 400 – 600 Calorie Meal (Split these calories up if you like)
4:00 Isagenix Snack (Optional)
6:00 Shake
8:00 Isagenix Snack (Optional)
9:00 1-2 Isa Flush (not included in a 9 day cleanse)
Notes for Isagenix Cleansers: It is important to follow the pre-cleanse schedule.
These two days are necessary and will help prepare your body for your Cleanse Days.
The two Pre-Cleanse Days are an especially good time to reduce your caffeine, alcohol, salt and sugar consumption.

That’s right you don’t have to be using Isagenix products to participate or to WIN.
Challenge Rules: Everybody needs to Drink 80 oz of Water, Sleep 8 Hours and Exercise for at least 20 Minutes and follow a healthy eating plan like Isagenix every day of the Holiday CHALLENGE! EAT RIGHT, DRINK RIGHT, SLEEP RIGHT, EXERCISE RIGHT and
You Will FEEL RIGHT!
H2O-
Make sure you drink the proper amount of water for you. A general rule of thumb is to drink half of your body weight in ounces of water. A person who weighs 180 pounds should drink 90 ounces of water. We are only asking for 80 oz.
GET MOVING-
Moderate exercise (20 – 30 minutes of cardiovascular exercise) is recommended. Walking, bike-riding, running or swimming are great options. If you are not a regular exerciser, this may the best time to begin-Don’t wait!
GET TO SLEEP- We are aiming for 8 hours of sleep a night. Research shows that 8 hours provides the best weight loss results and reduces stress. Plan to get to bed early for the next few days.
We’re excited that we are ALL on the verge of discovering our body’s true potential for health and youthful vitality together. This is going to be so much fun!
Have a fantastic day and mark your calendar. We Start Officially Dec. 13th! :)
