What is aging? The simple answer is getting older. But why do our bodies break down over time? Though we assume that the side effects of aging such as hearing loss, energy loss, and Alzheimer’s are a normal part of the process, they are not inevitable – not all elderly people are afflicted with these illnesses. Two people can be of the same age, yet their bodies and minds can be in extremely different states of health.

So, age alone does not determine health. Nevertheless, it is useful to ask what the difference is between a typical twenty year old and a seventy year old. How is it that one is full of energy and the other, for the most part, is experiencing degeneration of one form or another?

The answer lies in the internal processes of the body, and there are at least four key issues that influence how our bodies age. The first is free-radical damage and electron loss over time. The second, influenced by the first, is inflammation. The third is the clogging up of our cellular receptor sites. The fourth is the strength of the immune system.

Free Radical Damage

Our bodies are made up of approximately 100 trillion cells. Each of our cells is like a tiny battery, producing energy through cellular respiration. As we age, environmental toxins and unhealthy foods containing free radicals – such as fried foods – rob electrons from our bodies (a free radical is a molecule, atom or ion that’s missing electrons in the outer orbit). Free radicals can cause cellular and DNA damage and mutations, and are thought to be responsible for many forms of cancer. Free radicals have also been named as the cause of many symptoms of aging, and one current theory (the Free Radical Theory of Aging) even points to the accumulation of free radicals in the cells as responsible for aging itself.

Whether reducing free radicals can extend lifespan is still under debate and the subject of much ongoing research, but what is certain is that free radicals cause poor cell respiration, fermentation, waste accumulation, acid buildup, and pH derangements in the body. In short, they cause the “batteries” of our cells to emit a weaker charge. Congestion occurs, and our cells become less efficient at pulling in nutrients and expelling metabolic wastes.

Inflammation

When there is poor cellular respiration, as with free-radical damage, inflammation occurs in the body. Chronic inflammation has been linked to the majority of age-related diseases, including Alzheimer’s, heart disease, diabetes, cancer and stroke, amongst others. Evidently, fighting inflammation is high on the list of anyone interested in healthy aging.

Clogged receptor sites

Receptor sites are areas on the cell that pick up and receive hormones and different nutrients and chemicals, and function much like a shipping dock receiving cargo. People today are exposed to so many toxic agents and chemicals that their receptor sites become clogged. Their shipping docks become completely packed with garbage, and they can’t bring anything else into that shipping dock. Their receptor sites cannot assimilate nutrients so well anymore. Over many years of life, the problem is amplified. Hormonal imbalances can occur, such as in the case of xenoestrogens (false estrogens derived from plastics), which bind to the receptor sites, blocking the body’s natural estrogens and thus cause an excess of the hormone in the body.

Keeping the receptor sites clean and free of these foreign chemicals is important for nutrient assimilation in the cell, which ultimately helps to slow aging by keeping the cells producing energy at their optimum levels.

The immune system

As we age, our immune systems tend to get weaker, with the exception being newborns and toddlers, who are still in the process of building their immune systems. As a general rule, the very young and the elderly are the most vulnerable to viruses and bacteria, and a bad infection or case of the flu can lead to secondary health problems, prolonged weakness, or even death. Therefore, a healthy immune system is essential to healthy aging.

So, what is the difference between a seventy year old and a twenty year old?

The difference between the twenty year old and the seventy year old boils down to the cells in their bodies, and how healthy or “charged” they are. The less charge, or current, running through your body, the lower your ability to assimilate essential nutrients, and the lower your ability to eliminate harmful wastes from your system. The seventy year old’s energy has been diminished through the process of free radical damage/electron loss over time, and inflammation has taken over. Receptor sites have accumulated so much junk that nutrients can’t get through, and as a result of all these factors, the immune system no longer responds as it should. There’s not enough energy in the body to wipe out the intruding viruses and bacteria.

Alright already, what can I do about it?

Enough doom and gloom, you’re saying. What can I do about it? Unfortunately, just consuming anti-oxidants or electron donor foods or supplements isn’t enough. Your body has to be able to recognize and transport those electrons to where they’re needed. Your cells need to be healthy and strong enough to pull in those nutrients.

That’s where Protein Extreme Energy comes in. Instead of addressing the symptoms of aging, Protein Extreme Energy focuses on the causes. Taking Protein Extreme Energy is like turning an electrical switch back on in the body. It reverses the energy loss you experience as you age and charges your cellular batteries so that you can begin to fully assimilate nutrients and expel metabolic wastes again. And healthy, energized cells mean a healthy, energized body.

How does Protein Extreme Energy accomplish this? It attacks aging primarily from four angles. The first is by revitalizing and recharging your cells, countering free radical damage. The second is by fighting inflammation. The third is by cleansing cellular receptor sites. The fourth is by enhancing immunity.

Protein Extreme Energy counters free radical damage by providing a high electron load and establishing a recognizable, transferable electron process. Not only are all the ingredients in Protein Extreme Energy electron donors, but because of our proprietary ratio, they work together to augment this effect.

Protein Extreme Energy supports the fight against inflammation in several different ways. Just by addressing electron loss and increasing cell respiration, it is fighting inflammation. However, the immunoglobulins found in Protein Extreme Energy also act to counter inflammation by fighting inflammatory cytokines in the gut. Turmeric, another ingredient in the Protein Extreme Energy formula, has also been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties.

The method by which Protein Extreme Energy cleanses receptor sites is proprietary.

Protein Extreme Energy enhances the immune system by providing the body with more core or vital energy, so that you have enough internal strength to fight viruses and bacteria as they attempt to take hold. The immunoglobulins in Protein Extreme Energy also work hard to supplement your natural immune system by supplying antibodies to the gut, where they fight against invading pathogens.

Overall, Protein Extreme Energy works to re-establish the life current in your body, so that you can recover the youthful vitality you’ve lost over time.
