4 Anti-ageing supplements you need to try

Eco Diva Nicole Sherwin looks into the best natural ways to achieve anti-aging.

My father, Dr. Philip Sherwin –a homeopath, naturopath, acupuncturist and I advocate that natural anti-aging is all about knowing how to balance the pH levels in your body and our ideal pH is slightly alkaline - 7.30 to 7.45.

When the body is too acidic, the immune system struggles to fight off germs, infections and disease, so it’s easy to become ill and age very quickly. Acid builds up in our systems from various factors like stress, poor diet, lack of exercise, too much caffeine, sugar, alcohol, prescription and recreational drugs and cigarettes, to name a few. Acid build-up is the single most important culprit in the aging process.

It’s important to not only keep your diet rich in fresh vegetables (about 70%) but to also drink at least 6-8 glasses of fresh, filtered water per day. Another important factor is to ingest the right nutrients, which we don’t always absorb from the foods we are eating these days, due to poor soil quality, GMO (genetically modified) foods and toxic crop sprays, so the best way to ensure you are getting the right nutrients is to supplement with the right vitamins and minerals. The best anti-aging supplements are:

Ester C
It’s an esterified form of vitamin C but more easily absorbed by the body. Vitamin C is an anti-oxidant that fights free radicals and slows down the aging process. It’s important to take a minimum of 2000mg per day.

Vit B Complex
Vitamin B complex has several anti-aging properties as well as anti-stress properties. It actually helps you stay healthier by providing a strong, unbroken barrier against skin damage and skin aging.

pH Balance or Alkaline Powder
Keeping the body’s pH in balance is vitally important in keeping the cells of the body healthy and able to fight off the aging process.

Super Greens
Greens like barley grass, wheatgrass and chlorella widely known now as super foods, contain chlorophyll, protein and vitamins and minerals that the body needs to combat the aging process.
