The Role of Diet in Anti-Aging, Wellness, Fitness and Health By Fit For Life Co-Author, Marilyn Diamond

    BELLE MEAD, NJ, November 17, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The pursuit of wellness, youth, fitness and health often lead us to feel we must be on extremely low protein diets, or become vegetarians or vegans. Those who make these anti-aging, wellness, fitness and health choices will try to convince themselves that they can get the essential amino acids from soy, grains, beans, hemp or other plant sources. Unfortunately experience will show you, if you pursue this path, that this is a dangerous self-deception.

The essential amino acids are linked to anti-aging, wellness, fitness and health. They are called essential because your body must receive them regularly from foods you eat to achieve optimal fitness and health. They amino acids are not present in large enough quantities in plants to insure consistently high levels of tone, repair and overall physical fitness, as well as mental stability. In fact, if you are seeking to feel at the top of your game, sexy, strong and energetic, the pursuit of a diet that is plentiful in the essential amino acids (clue: they only come to you from animal sources of protein) is a definite wellness, anti-aging, fitness and health secret you want to know at any age.

You may feel the plant proteins are working for you when you're young, and signs of decline in wellness, anti-aging, fitness and health are not yet obvious, but watch for aging of your skin, hair and nails. Watch for fine lines around your eyes and mouth, when you're barely into your mid-thirties. Both sexes should be on guard for changes in wellness, anti-aging, fitness and health such as an inexplicable gain of a layer of fat, or a generally softer body, even though you're still young and relatively thin. Watch for lower vitality, uneven moods and depression, hormonal and libido issues, and posture. All of these are linked to your overall wellness, anti-aging, fitness and health through amino acids.

Especially watch for lowered strength. If you're skipping out of the gym and recoiling at the idea of weights and heading for yoga classes or Pilates, it may be because your strength is dropping. What does this mean for anti-aging, wellness, fitness and health? It means you're deficient in the essential amino acids and its a warning sign that premature aging is chasing you and your overall fitness and health is declining. I use diet and lifestyle when it comes to wellness, anti-aging, health and fitness.
