The notion that youth is synonymous with overall fitness is being slowly but surely questioned and revised. The President's Council on Physical Fitness acknowledges that exercise and proper nutrition can reverse the aging process. As far as nutrition goes, many experts in the field believe that fats in the diet are one of the main contributors to aging.
Free radicals are molecular compounds formed by natural oxidation processes.
According to Dr. Robert Haas, author of Eat to Win , free radicals destroy healthy cells and speed up aging. Therefore, a fat-restricted diet is essential in the reversal of the aging process. Proper water intake of 8 to 10 glasses per day is also essential for keeping the system flushed. It can do the same for you. Before starting any exercise and nutritional program, be sure to consult your physician.
