In Part 1 of this series of posts I stated “the process of aging is nothing more than the buildup of genetic and cellular errors and many of the environmental conditions that cause DNA dysfunctions can be avoided and even eliminated.” If all of these attacks from our environment weren’t enough, the food industry is […]
What can seniors do to avoid the causes of aging in our killer environment that contribute to cellular dysfunctions and premature aging?

Here’s our first fitness video testimonial from David Kotkin (and daughter Rachel). Notice how David cleverly slows his jump rope segment to mimic his heartbeat. Really cool stuff. Thank you David. Personally I think David’s Fitness in Action motivation for staying healthy carries more weight than just about anything else I can imagine. Most of […]

The Mayo Clinic tells us, “The solution seems to […]
This post is a three-part series on aging cells and how our environment is a major cause of aging. Aging is nothing more than the buildup of genetic and cellular errors. The good news is your cells already have repair mechanisms in place. Many of the environmental conditions that cause DNA errors can be slowed […]

Our hope is that you will be inspired to find your own program for senior fitness. Here’s a book […]
