Our sinus membranes are meant to protect us from dust, bacteria, smoke and other pollutants. But an excess flow of phlegm and constant post-nasal drip may change your attitude from feeling protected to feeling betrayed. Worse while you try to fight the drip, you invite pollutants and bacteria inside your body to form a toxic and aging environment. While medicines can dry the dripping, the chemical side effects are hardly healthy or anti-aging.

The Real Cause of Excess Mucus

Ama is the term used in Ayurveda medicine to describe mucus. In this traditional medicine of India, the body is comprised of earth, water, air and fire elements. Excess phlegm is the result of too much water and not enough fire or agni.

Angi is what makes digestion strong and keeps excess phlegm at bay. When your digestion is poor you also experience constipation, diarrhea, burping, bloating, heartburn and gas. Cold, damp, excess sugar and heavy foods and drinks put out the fire's flame, which can lead to these conditions.

Stoke the Digestive Fire

Anti-aging health begins in the stomach. A diet of excess, processed foods and sugar plus a lifestyle of stress, rushing and exhaustion will quickly age your digestive powers and your peaceful attitude. Instead of reaching for decongestants or antacids, spice up your life with a agni diet.

• Eat warm and dry foods
• Favor pungent, bitter and astringent flavors
• Use heat producing spices such as ginger, cardamom, cinnamon  and cumin
• Drink ginger tea daily
• Eat your largest meal at lunch
• Avoid raw foods and green salads
• Avoid yogurt and other diary products including cheese
• Avoid ice water and other cold beverages
• Avoid processed foods and leftovers
• Avoid alcohol

The Attitude of Flavors

You are what you eat and balance is the key to feeling and looking good. While excess mucus is a sign of a weaken fire element, being aware of all the body's signals is the first step in chosing foods that keep that healthy balance.

• Excess bitter foods and drinks such as as coffee and alcohol cause anxiety and aggression.
• Excess sour foods and drinks such as pickles and citrus cause giddiness and lack of focus.
• Excess spicy foods and drinks such as hot peppers cause anger and impatience.
• Excess sweet foods and drinks cause lethargy and laziness.

Listen to the many signals your body gives you and learn to eat to maintain a anti-aging balance. Get a list of food by flavors .

Does any food get made more fun of than the lowly Christmas fruitcake? Well maybe Spam but it's a close second.  Yet most fruitcake is delicious and healthy and has loads of anti-aging ingredients:

Dried Fruit

This fat and cholesterol free treat is in low in sodium, high in fiber, vitamins, iron, potassium, magnesium and calcium. Dried fruit also has phytonutrients and beta-carotene that can protect against cancer and even gum disease as well as antioxidants, the king of anti-aging, which fight free radical (aging) damage.

Nuts

The best plant source for protein, nuts are high in fiber, phytonutrients, antioxidants, Vitamin E and selenium. Nuts are also high in the good fat, Omega 3, which has been proven to lower bad (LDL) cholesterol. Regular consumption of nuts has been shown to lower the risk of heart disease.

Eggs

Eggs not only survived a bad rap for increasing cholesterol levels, they came out victorious in showing they may actually lower it.  High in protein, choline and one of the few foods that contain Vitamin D. Eggs are good for keeping the brain sharp, the nerves calm, the hair and nails strong and the heart plumping.  One study showed that eating six eggs every week lower breast cancer in women by 44%. Eggs have also been shown to prevent  macular degeneration, cataracts, strokes and heart attacks.

Flour

The power of flour is another healthy food that has taken a beating in the press.  Don't just think white flour, especially if you're sensitive to gluten. There are dozens of choices from amaranth  to flaxseed, to millet to soy that are all healthy alternatives and high in protein, fiber, iron, thiamine, magnesium, phosphorus, zinc and the B vitamins.

Nutmeg

This spice has been used for centuries to easy stomach aches and muscle pain. Now studies show that it lower blood pressure, stimulates brainwave activities, calms the nerves and has anti-inflammatory properties. Nutmeg also detoxifies the liver and kidneys.

Cloves

You likely used this favorite medicinal spice as a child. It's effective in easing toothaches, upset stomach, sore throats and headaches. Clove are a natural aphrodisiac and stimulates the mind while relieving it of  mental fatigue. (very anti-aging)

Cinnamon

Cinnamon has long been used to treat diarrhea and other stomach problems,  menstrual cramps, yeast infections and the common cold. Studies now show it's effective in easing arthritis pain and stabilizing blood sugar levels.

Allspice

This spices is aptly named as it seems to do it all. High in antioxidants, Allspice is also a pain relevant, antiseptic, muscle relaxant, stimulant and all-over tonic. Studies suggest that it can even stimulate and rejuvenate new cell growth.

Brandy and Bourbon

The best health benefit of all, cooking takes all the alcohol content out of your favorite pro-aging drinks!

It's true that fruitcake is high in calories and natural sugar
so it's recommended that you eat it while having
a good anti-aging attitude laugh.

As we age, the digestive process becomes less efficient with a decrease of hydrochloric acid, the digestive juices. Therefore the foods you may have enjoyed for years, suddenly become your worse enemy. Foods that you have always been encouraged to eat: complex carbohydrates may be taxing your aging digestive system.

The Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD)

Taking a new look at your diet may drastically anti-age your digestive system.  The SCD may just be that new look.  Dr. Sidney Haas, who died in 1964 at the age of 94, was dedicated to improving his patient's digestion woes.  He created the SCD after 50 years of researching the effect of carbohydrates on celiac disease, a digestive disease that damages the small intestine and prevents the ability to digest gluten.

Dr. Haas' work was an blessing to celiac disease sufferer but may have been lost to the rest of us had it not been for Elaine Gottschall, a biochemist and cell biologist, whose daughter suffered from colitis. Gottschall authored Breaking the Vicious Cycle and  pointed the guilty finger straight at gluten as the cause of everything from irritable bowel syndrome and Crohn's disease to autism.

The SCD restricts not the amount of carbohydrates you eat but the type: slowly absorbed starches, which sit in the intestines and feed microbes and produce harmful by-products such as yeast, acids and bacteria.

Are You Gluten Intolerant

The list is long and may be indicative of other disorders. Don't self-diagnosis but use the following information to consider whether you might benefit from the SCD.

What You Can't Eat

• All sugars and sugar substitutes except saccharin
• Fructose and corn syrups
• All grains and grain flours
• Oats
• Pasta
• Potatoes
• Rice
• Animal milks
• Mozzarella, ricotta and American cheeses

What You Can Eat

• Nuts and nut flours
• Homemade yogurt
• Fruit and unsweetened fruit juices
• Honey and saccharin
• Most vegetables except potatoes
• Most beans
• Aged cheeses and dry curd cottage cheese
• Fish
• Beef

Get a more complete lists of foods at Breaking the Vicious Cycle.

While the Special Carbohydrate Diet is quite restrictive of typical American foods, if your symptoms are few, you may fare quite well by finding the food(s) that cause your digestive problems. Wheat is by far the most common culprit and eliminating it for a week or two may bring the welcome relief you need.

Adding the probiotic benefits of homemade yogurt is one of the most important anti-aging and healing foods you can have in your diet. Making yogurt is quick, easy and inexpensive. A yogurt maker is the most important kitchen devise you can buy for your health.

Even with its comeback as a wonder food, yogurt's press is all about probiotics but the cultured product in the little container is still yogurt. This gastrointestinal super treat is alive with beneficial bacteria that makes your stomach feel better and your digestion a better experience. Even better, it strengthens the immune system to fight diseases and infections that will never even need a doctor's prescription pad.

Unless you have a stomach bug, you probably don't give a lot of thought to your gut. The place where life giving food is processed and waste is eliminated really should get more attention.

Health, healing and anti-aging begins in the belly
and yogurt can make some serious contributions to the effort.

While its ability to improve digestion, prevent yeast infections and reduce the risk of osteoporosis is well known, new research at the University of Washington in Seattle indicates yogurt may just reduce our appetite by making us fill fuller longer.

You can do your own research with the One Day Anti-Aging Yogurt Diet.  A word of caution before you start. There are three things that are oh so wrong for you in store bought yogurt - sugar, sugar and sugar.

Check the label, your favorite brand has 60-70% of its calories coming from sugar. Other ingredients you might not want in your yogurt: cornstarch, gluten, gelatin, corn syrup and artificial sweeteners and preservatives. Yogurt making is a fun, easy, cheap and much healthier alternative. Give it a try.

One Day Anti-Aging Yogurt Diet

• 1 cup of muesli or granola
• 1 cup yogurt with fruit

Lunch

Cucumber Yogurt Salad

• 1 cucumber
• 6 oz plain yogurt
• 1/4 cup celery

Diet RX Pill Apple Pectin Appetite Control Dr Sahelian    US $29.99

Isn't it ironic that we spend so much money on weight loss pills, weight loss foods, weight loss gadgets, weight loss programs and weight loss surgery, when one of the easiest, most natural and cheapest weight loss products is available in every grocery store in town?

Apples: Who Knew

Not only will apples help you lose weight, they will help anti-age you. Loaded with antioxidants to fight free radical damage; flavonoids an anti-viral, anti-inflammatory phytochemical;  pectin a natural fiber; and tannins, which may prevent gum disease.

Apples 1-2-3

Tammi Flynn, a Registered Dietitian discovered, through one of her clients, that eating an apple before every meal significantly decreased body fat. One client lead to 376 clients who lost a total of 6,312 pounds in 12 weeks.   That's about 17 pounds each; lost just by eating!   These impressive numbers prompted Flynn to put her discovery into print and The 3-A-Day Plan became a best seller.

The apple diet isn't rocket science: eat a low calorie apple before you eat a meal, which fills up your stomach with a nutritious fiber and decreases your appetite. It's true that any fiber would have the same effect but apples have so many other health benefits, they are the hands-down fiber winner. If you just can't see yourself eating three apples everyday, it's ok to cheat and use apple pectin power or supplements.

More Apple Health Benefits

• Reduces bad cholesterol.
• Lessens the severity of diabetes.
• Decreases the risk of colon cancer.
• Lowers high blood pressure.

Best of all, apples, more specifically the phytochemicals in apples, slows the aging process and those nasty age-related conditions
such as heart disease, cataracts, osteoporosis and cancer
making it a true anti-aging food.

You Don't Have To Be A Psychic to Eat Apples

Edgar Cayce, a psychic who lived from 1877 to 1945, was known as the sleeping prophet. Cayce gave reading to thousands, mostly people with health issues, while in a deeply unconscious state. Cayce often recommended eating apples for their detoxifying and alkalizing properties (great anti-aging conditions).

Cayce's 3-Day Apple Diet

It would be well for this body, even after this, to have a three-day apple diet, even in its weakened condition we need to clear the system. For this will get rid of the tendencies for neuritic conditions in the joints of the body....don't go without the apples - eat them - all you can - at least five or six apples each day.

See larger image From Belly Fat to Belly Flat: How Your Hormones Are Adding Inches to Your Waist and Subtracting Years from Your Life -- the Medically Proven Way to Reset Your Metabolism and Reshape Your Body (Paperback) By (author) C.W. Randolph M.D., Genie James List Price: $16.95 USD New From: $8.25 In Stock Used from: $6.47 In Stock

There is no joy or wisdom in having a Buddha belly. Whether you're apple or  pear shape, fat in the abdominal region is a vision  of poor health and a clear sign  that your gut is killing you.

As you age, it's vital that you change your attitude about what you eat in order to "gain" a thin and healthy waistline.

The two tips below will help you do just that.

It's bad enough that the typical Western diet is loaded with fat and sugar and that technology has us sitting on our rear ends more than any other culture or past generation but hit age 40 and  those factors seem trivial.

Declining testosterone and hormonal changes of menopause will send fat at a dead run to the tummy. Menopause and a reduction in growth hormone levels can even change the way that your body processes and stores fat, again right in the belly.

So if Hormones are the Problem....

.... is bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) the solution?

BHRT has been getting a lot of press lately, due in part by books Ageless and The Sexy Years by Suzanne Somers and From Belly Fat to Belly Flat by Dr. C.W. Randolph. This replacement therapy isn't new, it's been around for about 20 years.

But whether bioidentical or non-bioidentical most hormone replacements are steroid derivatives. BHRT differs  in that it's formulated based upon the physician's prescription determined through blood or saliva testing analysis. The testing methods are not without their critics.

Also, BHRT is not regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the North American Menopause Association has warned of potential risks associated with the  purity, potency, efficacy and safety of BHRT ingredients.

Advocates and critics aside, do we really need to chemically replace the body's natural reduction of hormones?

A Better Natural Approach

Although BHRT is a component of Dr. Randolph's fat to flat program, he has some great nutritional advice that may just be the true cure.

Adding or increasing just two categories of foods to your diet can improve your mood and decrease your waist line.

1. Cruciferous Vegetables Get the Lead Out

In a study funded by the National Cancer Institute, cruciferous veggie were shown to substantially reduce oxidative stress (free-radicals) in the body. Cruciferous vegetables also contain indole-3-carbidol an element that changes the way estrogen is metabolized.  Steaming these vegetable can make the potent detoxing effects easier on the digestion. Add a few of the top 12 to your menu tonight.

• Bok choy
• Broccoli
• Brussels sprouts
• Cabbage
• Cauliflower
• Chard, Kale, Collard and Mustard greens
• Radishes
• Rutabagas and Turnips

2.  Lignans Lower Total Body Fat

Chemical compounds found in the cell walls of plants, lignans (ˈlig-ˌnans) are especially high in flaxseeds.  Lignans are phytoestrogens and act as antioxidants. They are being studied for their ability to lower cholesterol and in prevent cancer, particularly breast and colon.  Here are the top 12 sources for lignans.

• Flax, Sesame and Sunflower seeds
• Cashews and Peanuts
• Whole grain, Rye and Brown Rice,
• Currants and Raisins
• Garlic and Onion

The above foods are quick, cheap and easy to add to your diet. Just add some flax seeds and raisins to your broccoli or sliced radishes to your brown rice. Any combination from the two categories will give you incredible belly reducing power.

These foods are also rich in healthy fat flushing insoluble fiber. If they aren't a regular part of your diet already, add them slowing as they are guaranteed to clean out the colon;  a critical component to flatting that belly bulge.
