Optimize Your Body's Natural Healing Response
|
The antiaging nutritional program involves more than just a healthy diet, it includes the implementation of some nutritional supplements including Omega Therapy as well as many other nutritional supplements that will help you shed excess pounds and improve your mental and physical performance while living a more fulfilling life.
Vivitality's antiaging nutritional Program is a life-long dietary program based on strong science to reduce diet-induced inflammation. |
The concept of the Zone began more than 35 years ago when Dr. Sears reasoned that the underlying cause of virtually all chronic disease was excess inflammation below the perception of pain. The complexity of his Zone concept has continued to evolve with new discoveries in molecular biology on how the diet controls not only inflammation, but also hormonal and genetic response. This evolution has lead to a new understanding on how the body can reduce inflammation, but also resolve and repair the damage caused by inflammation which occurs every time we have an injury (both internal and external) to the body.
The way the body heals from injury involves activation of specific hormonal and genetic factors. This is called the Resolution Response™. There is no drug that can activate the Resolution Response, but the correct diet can. Without an optimal Resolution Response, it is simply impossible to maintain a state of wellness thus preventing us from reaching our personal health goals at any stage. The Zone Pro-Resolution Nutrition™ system is a comprehensive dietary system including the Zone Diet, omega-3 fish oil and polyphenols which makes it is easy to get to the Zone and optimize the bodies internal Resolution Response. |
The Antiaging Diet was designed to reduce inflammation created by the foods we eat, also known as diet-induced inflammation. The Antiaging Diet focuses on hormonal control by minimizing the intake of foods known to promote inflammation such as refined grains and starches, saturated fats, and omega-6 fats like those found in vegetables oils. It also focuses on the hormones that are produced after we eat a meal to help with blood sugar control. This is done by eating the right balance of protein to carbohydrate at every meal and snack. Having the wrong balance increases diet-induced inflammation which over time can lead to insulin resistance.

When inflammation in our bodies is out of balance, or unresolved, it is one of the main reasons we gain weight, become sick, and accelerate the aging process. Omega-3s are the building blocks for hormones that help combat or resolve inflammation. The two omega-3s in fish oil that have been most widely studied for their clinical benefits pertaining to decreased inflammation are EPA and DHA. OmegaRx 2 is a rich source of EPA and DHA, supplying one of the highest concentrations of omega-3s (75%) available in the consumer marketplace. These fatty acids are the building blocks to make a newly discovered group of hormones (i.e. resolvins) that are critical to resolve residual inflammation.

Polyphenols are nutrients found in fruits and vegetables, represent the last and most complex part of the Resolution Response. Polyphenols help repair the damage that results from unresolved inflammation. Most of us fall short on our intake of fruits and vegetables with only 1 out of every 10 adults meeting the recommended intake (5 servings per day). This is why supplementing the Zone Diet with purified polyphenols extracts can help fill in the gaps. Polyphenols help combat inflammation and promote repair through their activation of key genes. Zone Polyphenols work to support the body’s natural healing response by aiding in the repair of damage tissue caused by both diet and exercise-induced inflammation.
