Getting older doesnt mean feeling older. In fact, you can feel healthier in your 50s than you did in your 20s.
You dont have to feel sluggish or gain weight. said Dr. Joseph Upton, medical director of Pro Sports Clubs Anti Aging Center. We can turn back the hands of time and be very fit and healthy.
Dr. Upton has been practicing medicine for over 17 years. Through his experience with preventative medicine and extensive research into anti-aging medicine, he has helped patients overcome metabolic disorders and achieve healthy lifestyles.
Recent scientific studies have shed light on what causes aging. There are a myriad of factors including hormonal decline, the shortening of the caps on our chromosomes called telomeres, genetics, stress and chemicals.
The good news is these scientific discoveries also reveal what it takes to combat aging. According to Upton the fountain of youth is accessible to everyone and as simple as adopting and healthy lifestyle.
While this sounds like the same advice we hear any age, Upton says as we get older we have less of a margin for error when it comes to things like diet and exercise. Therefore, while adopting a healthy lifestyle is something we should do not matter if your 15 or 50, once we reach middle age its important to be more diligent about healthy habits.
With that in mind, Upton shares top five tips for feeling fitter in your 50s than you did in your 20s.
Exercise Regularly
As we age, we dont have to give up our favorite hobbies like hiking, kayaking or taking spin classes. In fact, a regular exercise routine is crucial to feeling healthy and vibrant in any decade. Exercise also increases blood flow to the body and brain, so a regular workout schedule will also help improve your memory.
As you age, incorporating strength training into your workouts becomes especially important, since strength training not only builds muscle it also prevents muscles loss. People can build muscles well into their 90s, said Upton.

WASHINGTON A team of researchers at Georgetown University Medical Center (GUMC) has found that loss of an anti-aging gene induces retinal degeneration in mice and might contribute to age-related macular degeneration, the major cause of blindness in the elderly.
In the Oct. 9 issue of the Journal of Neuroscience, the scientists demonstrated a key role for the aging-suppressor gene Klotho in maintaining the health of the mouse and human retina. They say that in their animal studies, loss of Klotho expression leads to characteristics observed in both kinds of macular degeneration wet and dry seen in humans.
Klotho, a hormone that is synthesized and secreted by some organs and tissues, is being studied worldwide for its anti-aging properties. A Japanese researcher discovered 15 years ago that when Klotho is mutated, a mouse that should live two years survives for only two months. Transgenic mice that overexpress the Klotho gene have a longer-than-expected lifespan.
"We found four important functions Klotho provides in the human retina, which leads us to believe that the gene is crucial to the health of this light sensitive tissue," says the study's senior investigator, Nady Golestaneh, PhD, assistant professor of ophthalmology, neurology, biochemistry and molecular & cellular biology at GUMC.
They found that Klotho increases the activity of genes that synthesize the light absorbing visual pigments in the retinal cells. Klotho also increases the expression of genes that protect against the oxidative stress known to damage the retina, and which can lead to dry macular degeneration. Klotho inhibits the vascular endothelial growth factor and therefore, might play an important role in inhibiting the overgrowth of blood vessels in the eye, a major cause of wet macular degeneration.
Klotho also regulates phagocytosis of the outer segment of photoreceptors in the retina. This process allows the photoreceptors to renew themselves, and if that function is abolished, the photoreceptors degenerate and die causing blindness.
"For these reasons, we believe Klotho might be an interesting therapeutic target for age-related macular degeneration," Golestaneh says. "Gene therapy or cell therapy might be able to induce new expression of Klotho in the aging retina."
But she adds that before these strategies can be tested, research that quantifies the decline of Klotho expression in human eyes, and directly links this dysfunction to macular degeneration, must be undertaken.

Dr. Ernesto Gutierrez explains that the Age Management/Anti-Aging department came about in response to a demand from patients with typical age-related problems, including age spots; degenerative diseases; general aches, pains and fatigue; insomnia; loss of energy, hair, memory and skin texture; mood swings; poor concentration; reduced sex drive, and, of course, wrinkles. With this demand and the fact that he has major education and experience in Age Management/Anti-Aging, it was a natural extension of World Stem Cells Clinic's medical menu.
Dr. Gutierrez says he prefers to call it "Age Management" over Anti-Aging. An Age Management program is created by the medical staff (clinical physicians, dermatologists, and anti-aging specialists) at World Stem Cells Clinic by examining the patient and reviewing all available medical records and other diagnostic information to assess the best Age Management stem cell treatment to maximize the patients results. Then, the medical staff meets and confers with the research scientists for a pre-treatment planning meeting. The Age Management stem cell treatment planning conference takes advantage of decades of the staffs clinical experience, analyzes the patients current condition and available social support system, and performs a full review of the medical history of the patient, as well as an inclusion and consideration of any recently published research literature on Age Management/Anti-Aging stem cell treatments. In other words, it's all about the patient through providing a detailed, systematic and entirely unique long-term stem cell treatment Age Management program.
Gutierrez says the Age Management/Anti-Aging Stem Cell Treatment at The World Stem Cells Clinic takes five days to complete as it is comprehensive and designed to maximize the patients safety. The patients treatment is based on the protocol designed for that individual using a combination of or all of the following: bone marrow or adipose extraction; cell stimulation; cell culturing; peripheral blood cells extraction; cell implants by IV; growth factor injections or by special equipment designed to allow cell surface introduction; lasers; vibration; wrinkle line filling; adjunctive service such as vitamins, minerals, physical therapy and other rejuvenation processes. The treatment is designed to and for the patient.

Resveratrol, a chemical found in red wine that is often touted for its anti-aging benefits, is chemically active in cells, which has been doubted, according to new research.
Despite earlier research on resveratrol's activity in the human body that cast doubt on its potential to benefit people's health, the new findings show the compound can be converted in the body into its active form, which cells can use.
That conclusion, published today (Oct. 2) in the journal Science Translational Medicine, bolsters the notion that the compound could have health benefits. [4 Foods That Are Good Sources of Resveratrol]
Red wine compound
Resveratrol is found in the skin of red grapes, dark chocolate and other foods, and many believe it has potential health benefits. Some research has found that the compound can activate a chemical pathway in cells linked to slower aging, and other studies have tied it to cardiovascular benefits and anti-cancer effects.
However, studies of the compound in people and animals have yielded mixed results. One found that resveratrol extends the life span of fat mice, but has no benefit for their lean counterparts. And a 2012 study in Cell Metabolism found that healthy people taking resveratrol supplements gained no benefit from them.
In addition, researchers weren't sure how resveratrol could be active biologically.
"One of the major problems is that when you eat it, it's very, very quickly converted by the body into sulfate and gluconoride metabolites," said study co-author Karen Brown, a cancer researcher at the University of Leicester in England.
Some scientists doubted that resveratrol sulfate, the modified form of the chemical, was active in the body.

Basil (Ocimum basilicum), also known as Saint Joseph's Wort, is a herb belonging to the mint family Lamiaceae often used as a seasoning in cooking. Basil is native to India and other tropical areas of Asia.
The herb is well known for its use in Italian cuisine - it is a major ingredient in pesto sauce. Basil is also commonly used Indonesian, Thai, and Vietnamese cuisine.
The word Basil derives from the Greek word "basileus", which means "king". The Oxford English Dictionary says that basil may have been used as "some royal unguent, bath, or medicine".
In fact, there are quite a number of different beliefs associated with the herb. The French often refer to the herb as l'herbe royale (the royal herb), and in Jewish folklore basil is thought to give strength while fasting.
Basil is used in traditional Tamil medicine and in ayurvedic medicine, which is a form of alternative traditional medicine in the Indian subcontinent.
There are different types of basil, which differ in taste and smell. Sweet basil (the most commercially available basil used in Italian food) has a strong clove scent because of its high concentration of the chemical agent eugenol. Whereas lime and lemon basil have a strong citrus scent due to their high concentration of limonene.

BALTIMORE, Sept. 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Anti-aging and aesthetics-focused physician Dr. George O. Gavrila has opened Baltimore Tattoo Removal, the city's first tattoo removal specialty clinic featuring the advanced Astanza Duality laser. Dr. Gavrila's motivation for offering state-of-the-art tattoo removal to Greater Baltimore is to provide a solution to the rising trend of tattoo regret.
Dr. Gavrila's medical career has focused on age intervention and helping patients' physical appearances reflect how they feel inside. Tattoo removal, which gives people a chance to reclaim their skin's natural look, was a logical next step for Dr. Gavrila. Because tattoo removal is both a medical and aesthetic procedure, his background easily reflects in the Baltimore Tattoo Removal's approach.
"We are the only clinic in Baltimore dedicated solely to removing unwanted tattoos, and we invested in the best tattoo removal technology to give our patients unparalleled results," said Gavrila. "I personally assess and treat all tattoos myself to ensure the patient gets the best removal results possible."
Baltimore Tattoo Removal's Duality laser is the gold standard of tattoo removal technology. Tattoos are located deep within the skin, and the Astanza Duality has been designed to specifically target and treat stubborn ink particles. The Duality uses Q-switched technology to send brief, intense pulses of light energy into the skin, targeting the tattoo. The Astanza Duality uses two wavelengths of light energy, giving Baltimore Tattoo Removal the ability to treat virtually all ink colors with high efficacy.
"Choosing a sophisticated laser system like the Duality was an obvious choice for Dr. Gavrila," said Ryan Lambert, President of Astanza. "He is committed to providing excellent treatments for all of his patients by combining his expertise in aesthetic medicine with the greatest advancements in laser technology."

We see our customers coming into the store with so many questions about skin care and sometimes they dont even know where to begin with all of the information they are bombarded with in magazines and on the internet. Our goal at Etiket is to be a resource for results-oriented anti-aging skin care solutions and I thought that a series of videos with our medical consultant, Dr. Yves Hbert would address these questions in a straightforward way, said Simon Tooley, President of Etiket.
Created by Intervista Films, these videos will address common concerns including anti-aging, rosacea, adult acne, hyperpigmentation as well as the latest trends in beauty and cosmetic treatments today. The videos will be a continuation of The Etiket Insider video series that were launched in 2012 that include interviews with natural skin care guru Tata Harper and Atelier Cologne creators Christophe Cervasel and Sylvie Ganter.
We started the videos for Etiket to bring people behind the scenes in the beauty world, the next logical step is clearly to help demystify all of the marketing and promotion that is so much a part of this industry, said Carl Ruscica, producer at Intervista Films. We saw a great response to our first videos because Simon was real in his interviews and had a sense of humour when he tested products on himself. In these interviews with Dr. Hbert, he will have a no holds barred approach to what works, doesnt work and why, in all aspects of beauty and skin care.
The first videos will be in conjunction with SkinCeuticals Canada and explore their philosophy of Prevent, Protect, Correct and will be shot on location at Dr. Hberts Clinic in Montreal.
I see so many of my patients spending money on useless creams and treatments because of what they have read in a magazine, on the Internet or seen on TV. Everyone wants to look younger today and there are definite solutions but there are limits to what is possible as well, said Dr. Yves Hbert, medical director at Mdecine Esthtique Dr Yves Hbert and medical consultant for Etiket. "I look forward to being able to talk honestly about what works and doesnt work in an industry I have worked in since the beginning of cosmetic and aesthetic treatments."
