The second thing is the rebuilding and repairing of the cells that have worn out. We call this regeneration. To be really healthy as we age, we need to do both well.
A few years back I introduced Protandim. It deals with detoxification, inflammation, and free radicals better than any other single supplement I have researched. I take it everyday as it lowers oxidative stress at any age to that of a 20 year old and increases the production of SOD, Catalase, and Glutathione Peroxidase.
Rebuilding, however, is a whole other issue that becomes more and more difficult as we age.
Aren't the golden years fun?!!!
When we are young our bodies produce adult stem cells in the bone and migrate them into the blood stream to look for damaged cells and organs. When they find them they become those specialized cells and they do a wonderful job in repairing them. As we age, especially after child bearing years, it becomes more and more difficult to stimulate those repairing cells and thus we become more and more frail.
For the last 3 years I have been studying a number of companies and nutraceuticals that have proven their ability over time to stimulate the production and migration of natural stem cells into the body, thus bringing us closer to our youthful regenerative capacity. Stem cells can repair anywhere there is blood circulation. They will not repair heart valves as they have no blood supply.
I have listed below supportive information, including links, to a program I have developed for anyone interested.

Christopher Wiechert's Nutrigenomic Regenerative Anti Aging
Program...
This program is designed to slow and even reverse age related health issues. It supplies all the nutrients needed by the body, and triggers genes that activate telomerase, modulate and normalize the immune system, as well as using resveratrol-stilbene compounds to help the body deal with the 5 leading causes of death, as we age. Protects mitochondria and DNA from damage, and increases the number of mitochondria produced, called mitochondrial biogenesis. Genes triggered, Sirt 1 & 2, Daf 16, also called Sweet 16.
Program mimics caloric restriction and therefore stimulates natural stem cells.
