Anti-Aging and Longevity
Anti-aging and longevity is really about preservation of function. Keeping your body systems protected and working properly so they don't break down. The common thread that seems to run through anti-aging research is protecting the genetic material called DNA. As cells divide you want them to duplicate themselves like the time before. When the DNA takes a hit, the duplicated cells take on the damage. There is a lot more to it, of course, but preserving function and protecting DNA is paramount to anti-aging, and longevity. One thing is for sure, you need anti-oxidants, you need essential fats, you need an enzyme and nutrient rich food source and you need vitamins and minerals. When every cell, tissue, and organ has a rich supply of resources from a wide variety of nutrients, DNA can be protected and you can function better. The Life Factor Foundational Nutrition System, which I will call "The System" from now on, is anti-aging supplementation at its best. The System provides an abundant supply of DNA protecting anti-oxidants. They are comprehensive, potent and balanced. They represent the most powerful anti-oxidants known to nutritional science. They are in the form of carotenoids, flavonoids, alpha lipoic acid, ascorbyl palmitate (fat soluble vit C) and tocotrienols (potent cousins of vit E). Also worth mentioning are selinium, zinc and vitamins A, C and E. That's a line-up of nutrients that provide real anti-oxidant protection in a very nutritionally demanding world.

The System also provides a vital, but over-looked class of nutrients called nutritional lipids. They are essential fatty acids, phospholipids, plant phytosterols and GLA (gamma linolenic acid). These nutrients support anti-aging and longevity in many ways. Primarily by protecting you from killer disease, which we will talk about soon. Every cell benefits by nutritional lipids because they regulate the function of cell membranes - what goes in the cell and what comes out, basic functions of life absolutely critical for good health and longevity.

Another aspect of The System is a highly concentrated, enzyme and nutrient rich, green superfood. We call it Living Factors, and it is the most extraordinary and potent product of its kind ever developed. It is at least four times as potent as any other "greens" product on the market. It is anti-aging and longevity food at it's best. Nutrient rich and easy to digest and assimilate.

Protection from Killer Diseases
Two diseases are killing 75% of the population - cardiovascular disease and cancer. Both diseases are heavily influenced by diet, lifestyle and nutrition. The System offers an unparalleled level of nutritional support to fight these killer diseases. Cardiovascular disease is our #1 killer. You have to consider multiple nutritional strategies to really be effective in fighting cardiovascular disease: lowering cholesterol, triglyceride and homocysteine levels, preventing thickening of the blood, preventing oxidation and excess free radicals and protecting arteries and veins from weakness and damage. The System does it all. Essential fatty acids and plant phytosterols are used for lowering cholesterol and thinning the blood. Carotenoids, flavonoids, alpha lipoic acid, vit C, vit E, tocotrienols, selenium and zinc are used to prevent oxidation. Fat and water soluble vitamin C and flavonoids are used to strengthen arteries and veins. Vitamin B-6, vitamin B-12 and folic acid are used to lower homocysteine levels and magnesium, essential fatty acids and many other nutrients in The System are used to support the heart muscle. Don't get caught in a fractionated nutritional approach to a problem like this. The System is effective, inexpensive and comprehensive. For cardiovascular health alone The System is worth its weight in gold. The addition of co-enzyme Q10 in a lipid delivery form is recommended.

Cancer is our #2 killer disease. The System offers nutritional protection in a very comprehensive way. This is vitally important. Consider this, medicine and pharmaceutical companies study cancer from a variety of perspectives - why cells mutate, the role of histamine, the role of inflammation, the role of blood supply to tumors (angiogenesis), the role of blood thickness and metastasis. They research and try to develop drugs for these individual issues, but your body is trying to protect itself from any possible cause. The System was developed to provide nutrients that give support in all these areas. Carotenoids and flavonoids play multiple roles. They reduce histamine, especially a flavonoid known as quercetin. They reduce inflammation and help prevent angiogenesis (tumor's blood supply). As the most potent anti-oxidants available, carotenoids and flavonoids help prevent free radical damage to cellular DNA. Folic acid helps as well. Essential fatty acids and phospholipids help prevent thick blood and the nutrient and enzyme rich green plant foods supply an enormous array of cancer-fighting phytonutrients. Also, the nutrient glutathione, which is the body's internal master anti-oxidant, is low in most patients who have malignancies. The System contains the best glutathione boosters available. They are cruciferous vegetables in the Living Factors product, alpha lipoic acid in the Life Factor Nutrients, and selenium in the Life Factor Minerals. I hope you are beginning to understand the absolute necessity of comprehensive nutritional support.

Eye Health
Do you know what people fear most as they get older? Cardiovascular disease? Cancer? No, it's blindness! Over 100 million people are affected worldwide by cataracts, glaucoma and macular degeneration. The System offers extraordinary nutritional support for the eyes. The most important are again, carotenoids and flavonoids. Reducing oxidative damage from free radicals is mandatory. Raising glutathione levels is also extremely important. The System supplies beta and alpha carotene, lutein (critical to help prevent and treat macular degeneration) lycopene, zeaxanthin, grape seed extract, green tea extract, quercetin, citrus bioflavonoid concentrate, vitamins A, C, E, selenium, alpha lipoic acid and omega 3 oils. All these nutrients are needed for the three main eye conditions. The addition of bilberry extract is recommended for cataracts and glaucoma. Other eye conditions such as dry eyes and diabetic retinopathy are benefited by the anti-oxidants, omega 3 oils, gamma-linolenic-acid, magnesium and many other nutrients found in The System. Eyes are extremely demanding tissue from a nutritional standpoint and need a wide variety of bio-available nutrients provided in optimal potencies. The hallmark of The System is Quality, Potency, Bio-Availability and Optimal Nutrient Combinations. These four principles literally determine the effectiveness of any product. It is said that if you do not stand for something, you fall for everything. Giving people what they need to protect and improve their health is something we stand for and you can count on.

Enhanced Immunity
Good health and strong immunity go hand in hand. You can't have one without the other. Immunity declines as we age, so we all will reach a point when it becomes very prudent to protect and fortify your immune system. The burden on our immune system is ever increasing. Our air and water supplies alone can contain thousands of chemical contaminants. We are faced with anti biotic resistant bacteria, opportunistic fungal infections and some really nasty viruses. Too much stress, not enough sleep, a nutritionally depleted food supply, it all adds up to a "do or die" situation. In today's world, your immune system has to be strong enough to resist a heavier, more complex array of burdens. Comprehensive, nutritional support is absolutely vital. The Life Factor Research Foundational System provides the anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, essential lipids and concentrated green food that the cells of your immune system need to thrive. The main beneficial nutrient in The System really is the entire System! When it comes to nutrients and enhanced immunity, it's like everything else we have talked about, a team effort.

Prevent Inflammation
Much of the physical suffering we have to endure is caused by inflammation. If you get an infection in a wound or twist an ankle, you get a dose of acute inflammation. While that type of inflammation goes away, it's chronic inflammation that is a real threat to our health. Every system in our body can be affected by multiple forms of inflammation. Examples are arthritis, prostate swelling, fibromyalgia, irritable bowel, colitis, allergies, sciatica, bursitis, hepatitis, and many, many more. Inflammatory markers in the blood like fibrinogen and C-reactive proteins increase the risk of heart attack and stroke. Chronic inflammation has long been known as a precursor to cancer. If you are serious about your health, then one of the most important things you can do is fortify every cell, tissue and organ in your body to resist inflammation. The System contains a comprehensive nutritional approach to inflammation unlike anything available. The most important are the full range of potent anti-oxidants and the essential fatty acids, which help to both prevent and suppress inflammation. Anti-oxidants like carotenoids, flavonoids, alpha lipoic acid, vitamins A, C, E and selenium provide broad spectrum suppression of free radicals and help lower inflammatory compounds in the blood. The essential fatty acids and GLA (gamma-linolenic-acid) promote anti-inflammatory hormone-like substances known as prostaglandins. Concentrated green foods are loaded with anti-inflammatory phytonutrients and help to clean the blood of metabolic waste, which can lead to inflammation.

Bone Health
Bones are dynamic living tissue and require a lot more than calcium and a little exercise to prevent osteoporosis. The main nutrients in The System that contribute to bone health are the minerals, especially calcium, magnesium, silica and boron. Also important are vitamin D, vitamin K and the concentrated green foods. The System approaches bone health in the same way as other conditions, comprehensively. Bone is not just calcium. Bones are collagen protein that is hardened by calcium. Vitamin D is needed to insure the calcium hardens (calcifies) the collagen. Vitamin K is needed to convert the collagen protein from its inactive form to its active form. Boron activates vitamin D, which in turn affects calcium! Your hormones are probably the most important factor of all for bone health because they regulate the cells responsible for the continual breakdown and build up of bone tissue. Estrogen, progesterone and testosterone are the main hormones responsible.

Concentrated green foods are extraordinary for bone health in a very interesting way. They buffer excess acids by supplying a high alkaline influence to the blood. This prevents the body from using calcium from the bones to buffer acids. The System contains a product called Living Factors which supplies the highest concentration of nutrient and enzyme rich, green superfoods ever put into a product. In fact, Living Factors is 4 to 6 times more concentrated than any other product of it's kind on the market. One tablespoon is equal to at least 5 servings of green vegetables. That's a whole lot of nutrient rich, highly alkaline nutrition in a concentrated and convenient form. Your bones will love you for it.

Enhanced Energy and Vitality
We all want to feel more energetic and alive. Most people who take nutritional supplements are either expecting to or fantasizing about being able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. That's a stretch, but with a little wisdom and the Life Factor Research Foundational Nutrition System, you can sure put a bounce in your step like you've never known. You already know the importance of comprehensive nutritional support. It's absolutely mandatory for improving your energy and vitality. Every cell in your body needs a wide variety of nutritional compounds to effectively produce energy. Nothing comes close to the quality, potency and diversity of nutrients than the LFR Foundational System. B vitamins and minerals make the co-enzymes needed for energy production. Anti-oxidants fight free radicals that cause excess oxidation which rob you of energy. Lipids, such as essential fatty acids, help oxygen transfer needed for energy production. Green superfoods provide the ultimate energy enhancer. They provide highly nutritious and enzyme rich concentrated plant foods that are in an almost pre-digested state. These green superfoods also have a detoxifying and alkalizing effect on the body. So, you have energy producing nutrients and enzymes, an energy sparing effect because very little digestion is required and energy enhancing effects by lowering the burden of metabolic waste, while maintaining a more alkaline blood steam. Absolutely brilliant!!

Keep in mind that energy and vitality are created by multiple factors. Proper nutrition and a wide variety of nutrients are critical for energy production, but there are other factors. Proper hormone balance, proper liver and digestive function and your ability to cope with stress are at the top of the list. Energy and vitality are at the cornerstone of a full, productive life and comprehensive nutritional support, like everything else we have talked about, is mandatory for maximum energy and vitality.

This should give you a better understanding of the many benefits of the Life Factor Research Foundational Nutrition System. If you have an existing health condition, you may need more specific nutritional support and the help of a qualified health care provider. The System is the most comprehensive nutritional foundation ever developed. It is not a treatment for disease. Never substitute nutritional supplements for a thorough evaluation of an existing health condition. There is much nor to natural medicine than supplements alone and existing conditions requite an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.
