Master Your Metabolism - Fitness for a Lifetime with DHEA and 7-keto.

Fitness these days is better understood over the course of your lifetime. Fluctuations in Fitness and Health, are affected by Body composition (ratio of muscle, fat and bone) Metabolism and Hormonal Signals that signal to the body how “old” or “young’ it is. The raw materials your metabolism uses come from what you put in your body, your body composition and the lifetime fitness strategy you choose as part of your life.

Metabolism has two processes where your body chemistry breaks down and rebuilds all cells at every given instant. To master your metabolism you want the energy created from breaking down cells to create NEW cells of stronger bones and muscle tissue and less unnecessary fat.

Let’s look at Metabolism and the major factors that contribute to fitness throughout your lifetime. Metabolism has two processes: one for building cells (Anabolic) and breaking down cells (Catabolic). Natural products and Body building supplements should work WITH these natural processes to enhance your body’s metabolism and enhance your fitness level, no matter what your age throughout the different phases of your lifetime.

The best products and food will create healthier stronger NEW cells to replace diseased cells. The best body building supplements will master the hormones that build cells and cause the anabolic process to create healthy “younger” cells. The major hormonal signals that master the growth and repair of cells are growth hormone, DHEA, estrogen, testosterone and progesterone. You want your body building supplements to create the idea you are eternally “young” requiring an urgent need to rebuild and repair any damage cells.

The catabolic process is also responsible for breaking down bad cells that impede the growth and function of healthy cells. For a long lifetime of fitness, you want to enhance how your cells create new and healthy cells, as opposed to limiting yourself to the effects of aging, disease and bad lifestyle habits.

The better your cells WORK - i.e. the better your body breaks down and create new stronger, BETTER cells - the better EVERYTHING works.

There’s not one rule for every age in terms of metabolism. Metabolism and the elements of body composition adjust throughout your lifetime and with your level of fitness training. Most obviously you can notice a woman’s body composition will change according to her hormone levels monthly. The same process of change in body chemistry affects your fitness level, metabolism and mood over a lifetime.

The art becomes knowing which body building supplements, natural supplements and foods to use with your fitness program and understanding where you are on the body’s lifetime metabolic schedule. Over your lifetime, fitness levels are specifically different before and after age 35.

Typically, once age 30-35, the body’s hormonal system signals the body to slow down the production of growth hormones. This has a general effect to tell the cells there is less need for anabolic activity that builds new cells. As we age, it is important to maintain higher muscle mass and bone density in the body’s composition to encourage anabolic activity that maintains energy and break down unhealthy cells.

Body building supplements such as DHEA in combination with 7-keto have successfully proven that with reasonable daily doses, the body chemistry can emulate that of a “young” growing body and enhance more cell regeneration, reducing muscle loss and increasing bone density. The leading scientist on DHEA, Stephen Cherniske M.S. recommends 10-25 milligrams DHEA and 25-50 milligrams of 7-keto daily as a safe dosage. Excess dosages can affect testosterone, estrogen and progesterone levels.
