Aging involves many factors, one of it being genetics with decide our rightful biological life spend. Other then this, the accumulation of toxic waste in the body, however, also exerts significant influence on the rate of aging. If wastes accumulate faster than the ability of the body to discard them, aging will be accelerated. Abusive factors such as overeating, poor diet, lack of sleep and rest, emotional stress, over or under-activity, digestive problems; are among the common factors that lead to accumulation of toxic waste in the body. Signs of cellular toxicity include fatigue, lethargy, problems in recuperating from stress, bad breath, poorly functioning bowels, skin eruptions, diminished resistance to disease, etc.

Young people indulge in unhealthy diet, overeating, engaging in toxic habits, ignoring the need for rest and sleep, etc., may think they are spared from repercussions because they continue to feel “good” despite the abuses. What they do not understand is that the damages they are doing to their body is cumulative, which often go unnoticed until they reach their late twenties, thirties, or older. Nevertheless the price to pay for our abuses can be a costly one.

Frequently clients tell me, “I wish I had learned about my biochemistry and how to apply Holistic Nutrition principles before my aging problems started”. My advice to them is always the same: Even though many of us tend to “get old too soon and be smart too late”, it is still better to be late than never.
