The Bull stops here

Extensive research in the field of ageing is strategically and financially important in the majority of companies who supply sports products, body lotions…. It's a race to find the secret to eternal youth; and a race to get your dosh. There is no doubt there is greater knowledge now than there was even 10 years ago to understand what happens to the body as we age.

What most of us are aware of is the loss of elasticity in the skin as the skin looses that lovely suppleness it once had, hence wrinkles and lines appear. What happens to us internally is our cells, tissues, ligaments and cartilages in the body deteriorate, muscles can loose strength and bone density diminishes, much like the engine of a car, it just wears out eventually, our engine known as the heart weakens as does the amount of energy we sustain.

I hear you panic in anticipation as you read this knowing what is to come, or nod in agreement as you are already in this situation.

 You need to take control of your nutrition; change what and when you eat. With ageing comes many bodily changes including your intestinal tract which  means it alters the way it absorbs nutrients and you can become more susceptible to aches and pains, and post-workout enhanced stiffness and injury.

By supplementing your diet with you can help the body to absorb vital nutrients and recover post-workouts, and even recover quicker from illnesses.
