I've always been impressed with how some anti aging Olay products appear to work wonders on their advertising campaigns but attaining the fountain of youth through some of the products I've purchased have delivered far from satisfactory results.
Part of the problem as Oprah observed on her show was how we address the anti aging problem.
Most of us seek a quick fix with a cream or a lotion but what is fundamentally true is that achieving longevity and a youthful skin is not so much the creams we apply to treat our skin, but the supplements we take to treat our insides.
Anti-oxidants are the key here. Some of the few communities in the world who have so many of their citizens living to more than a hundred years all consume diets which have a high concentration of anti-oxidants.
Of these, the island of Sardinia found 120 miles off the south coast of Italy is home to the largest centenarian of women per capita in the world.
So what's their anti aging secret?
Dr Oz recently reviewed a study by the National Geographic which concluded that scientists had at last discovered the secret ingredient that was found in the Sardinian diet which increased longevity.
Found in certain plants, this high anti oxidant fungi grows naturally to help fight against dangerous bacteria but when consumed on a regular basis proved to act as a natural artery scrubber.
Sardinians consume this regularly as it's found in the skin of the red wine they consume, and a regular intake of this polyphenol scientists suggest will help increase ones age if accompanied with some moderate daily exercise and a warm family unit, which combined with a great diet are the key ingredients for a healthy body and mind.
America and the west however hold the most appalling record for artery related illnesses and diseases and reports that a new supplement is available to help clean the arteries has been welcoming news.
However, by just taking this supplement if you remain on a diet of fast food or power foods that dietitians argue is fast becoming the staple diet of Americans- don't expect to match the longevity of Sardinian women.
You must also combine the supplements with a healthy diet, ensure that it's high in calcium so as to maintain strong bones as the body ages and do some moderate daily exercise each day.
If you do this scientists argue this will achieve much greater success for attaining longevity and healthy fresh skin rather than just an anti aging Olay product.
