4. AGING
BASIC FACT
▪ There are some things that don’t
change much with age. The basic
personality does not, the
vocabulary continues to grow, and
reasoning and problem solving are
retained. While there is a decline
in memory, impairment of memory
is not the rule; meaning that what
is remembered is remembered
accurately. You should be able to
enjoy moderately vigorous activity
well into your 80s.
PSYCHOLOGICAL FACTORS
▪ How long a person will live is in
part measure, predictable from
how conscientious a person is in
childhood. A study done on
bright children by Dr. H.S.
Friedman in 1993 showed that
there was a strong association
between how conscientious the
person was in {studies, chores,
handling money, etc.}, and how
long the person would turn out
to live.

6. BY INCREASING ANTIOXIDANTS SUCH AS VITAMINS C,
E, A, BETA CAROTENE, AND NUTRIENTS SUCH AS
SELENIUM AND THOSE COMING FROM FRUITS,
VEGETABLES, WHOLE GRAINS, NUTS AND SEEDS,
WE REDUCE THE AGING EFFECTS ON THE BRAIN
Lifestyle Factor
• Falls and broken bones often mark the first step in a downhill
spiral for the elderly. Tests have shown that spinach taken
several days per week (4-5 times) can maintain the portion of
the brain necessary for good balance and coordination.

7. Metabolic Factors
• Growth hormone naturally decreases as we age. Researchers
from London discovered that physical exercise stimulates the
production of growth hormone, thus slowing down the aging
process.–Being regular in sleep habits, and getting at least two
hours of sleep, and preferably three, before midnight also
increase the production of growth hormone.
Anti-aging /Longevity Herbs
• Schizandra chinensis, gotu cola, ginseng. Ginseng is said to
retard aging and lengthen the life span. It is said to improve
muscular motility and stretching.

Flavors) native to
forests of Northern
China and the Russian
Far East. used in
traditional Chinese
medicine. 1.5 to 6
g/day for 20 to 30 days.
Gotu Kola -has been used to
treat many conditions for
thousands of years in India,
China, and Indonesia. It was
used to heal wounds, improve
mental clarity, and treat skin
conditions such as leprosy and
psoriasis. Gotu kola is available
in teas and as dried herbs,
tinctures, capsules, tablets, and
ointments. Products should be
stored in a cool, dry place and
used before the expiration date
on the label. Not
recommended for Children
under 18.
The standard dose of gotu kola
(Centella asiatica) is different
depending on what kind you use
and what you use it for. Your health
care provider can help you choose
the right dose for you. Most studies
have used standardized extracts:
Dried herb: You can make a tea of
the dried leaf, 3 times daily.
Powdered herb: available in
capsules
Tincture (1:2 w/v, 30% alcohol): 30
to 60 drops (equivalent to 1 tsp.),
3 times daily.
Standardized extract: 50 to 250 mg,
2 to 3 times daily.

9. Precautions
• Gotu kola has been used in some studies that
lasted up to one year. However, gotu kola has
the potential to be harmful to the liver.
• It is best not to use gotu kola for more than 6
weeks without talking to your doctor. You may
need to take a 2-week break before taking the
herb again.
• Geriatric Use- People older than 65 should take
a lower dose of gotu kola. Your health care
provider can help you determine the right dose
for you, which can be increased slowly over
time.

10. CLOSING
COUNSELS FOR US
AS WE AGE
Aged Not to Labor In Cities
Feeble or aged men and women should not be sent to
labor in unhealthful, crowded cities. Let them labor
where their lives will not be needlessly sacrificed. Our
brethren who bring the truth to the cities must not be
obliged to imperil their health in the noise and bustle
and confusion, if retired places can be secured.
-- Ev 71,72. {RY 74.2}
With such an army of workers as our youth, rightly
trained, might furnish, how soon the message of a
crucified, risen, and soon-coming Saviour might be
carried to the whole world! How soon might the end
come—the end of suffering and sorrow and sin! How
soon, in place of a possession here, with its blight of sin
and pain, our children might receive their inheritance
where “the righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell
therein forever;” where “the inhabitant shall not say, I
am sick,” and “the voice of weeping shall be no more
heard.” Psalm 37:29; Isaiah 33:24; 65:19.
