Knowledge empowers you to make the right lifestyle strategies that skyrockets your health and vitality, which in turn helps you live longer. A fascinating research project called the Blue Zone’s group that went around the world interviewing people that lived to be 100 or longer, for example; the Sardonian community off the coastline of Italy, or the Okanawa community in Japan.

The benefits of the simple concepts found that they used to gracefully achieve longevity was astonishing. These simple yet powerful concepts will help you live up to 15 years longer. One of the best “hacks” revealed by this research group is intermittent fasting. It is the best way to pivot your health and improve skin and complexion as you age. There are two simple intermittent fasting strategies: the basic and the advanced intermittent fasting. The basic intermittent fasting is just eating three meals a day with in an eight-hour time frame. This gives your body a lot of rest, relaxation, and rejuvenation to allow the healing process from inflammation due to the metabolic process of digestion. The 16-hours of fasting will easily decrease inflammation and up-regulate a colossal hormone called the human growth hormone (HGH). HGH is known as the anti-aging and fat-burning hormone. It will help you lose weight and turn on the anti-aging pathways.

The first meal should be at 10 am and last meal at 6 pm, with eating only within that 8-hour time period. If you work out, you can have a low glycemic shake after your work out that’s made of grass fed whey protein. Then your first meal can be at 11 am-12 pm and then have another meal later.

Advanced intermittent fasting is when you purposefully restrict calories to 500 calories for women and 600 calories for men 2 days a week. This is for you, if you want to boost brain function because perhaps you have brain fog issues, want to lose weight or boost your body’s natural defenses against disease. Advanced intermittent fasting skyrockets the HGH; there’s no need to calories, just eat two meals day or two small shakes or just one small meal. Then eat normally the rest of the five days of the week. This is a phenomenal way to decrease inflammation in the gut and the whole body. As you already know, inflammation is the underlying cause of diseases and health issues.

So, if you have an important meeting coming up or want to blast productivity this will keep the blood in your brain to focus. You need to also make sure you’ve got those important essential nutrients in your body. The best way to tell this is through a healthy goodness lab analysis; which is the Rph (Rapid power hacks) method’s customized approach in creating a healthy program based on what’s actually happening in your body.

If you want a thriving career, amazing relationship, and experience the joy of aging gracefully, then you need to up-regulate essential nutrients and unleash their power to fuel your health and performance.
