(Wildlife creatures) Natural Methods to Help Slow the Aging Process
No commentsBy Dee Braun
The world we live in is a world of toxins. These environmental toxins are everywhere, in the air, food, and water. Even if you are aware and careful, it is practically almost impossible to avoid them. The choice left for us is to do something about the toxins we encounter in our daily lives.
We know that our environment is toxic. Aside from these toxins, free radicals, which we produce with our energy exposed to these toxins, are also everywhere. In fact, these free radicals are the causes of certain diseases such as cancer.
These also cause fast aging among people. While free radicals inside our bodies help us generate energy, and they assist our body in fighting infections, there are too many of them that attack our healthy cells, thus causing us to ‘prematurely age’.
Since toxins in our environment are increasing, free radicals are increasing, too. This is the main reason why our bodies weaken easily, including our cells. There are some supplements that can help us in countering the effects of free radicals and toxins.
* Antioxidants are found in a lot of food, too. Antioxidants help our bodies in flushing away toxins developed inside. When toxins are reduced inside our bodies, we help our cells keep healthy.
* Vitamin C is very important for collagen production and repair. It also acts as an antioxidant and boosts our immune system.
* Chrondroitin Sulfate supplements are help for our cartilages.
* Glucosamine Sulfate supplements help repair, and rebuild damaged cartilages. These also protect healthy cartilages. As one ages, his or her cartilages become weak. And for some other reason, such as injury, health problems, or something hereditary, our cartilages weaken prematurely.
* Dehydroepiandrosterone is naturally produced inside our body. It helps in the production of testosterone, estrogen, corticosterone, and progesterone. DHEA supplement aids a person whose DHEA production has decreased because of age.
* Glutamine supplements helps in increasing the growth hormone levels. Growth hormone is the strongest anti-aging substance studied as of today.
There are some natural ways of slowing down our bodies’ aging process.
* Ensure that you have abundant intake of antioxidants. Since antioxidants are found in many foods, just a healthy diet will assure that you get what you need. Supplements are also great since they allow us to have antioxidants within reach, anytime.
* Watch your sugar intake, it should be minimized.
* Drink lots of water. Lessen your intake of sodas, and alcohol.
* Stop smoking. You are simply killing yourself slowly with it.
* Exercises do not simply make our bodies stronger; they help in keeping our cells healthy. Through perspiration, we are able to naturally flush some toxins away.
* Get enough rest. As you overwork yourself, you are not only more prone to injuries, you are also overexerting yourself. Your cells, muscles, and bones have limit to the kind of pressure and stress they can handle.
The above mentioned ways in slowing aging will also help a person reduce the risk of him or her getting many common ailments..

Environmental and Waste Audits Are a Good Start to CSR
By john mce
Corporate social responsibility is an important issue in these times of fear and hysteria surrounding global warming. In the past and still presently, multinationals are particularly to blame for careless acts of waste often on a global scale. It can appear petty to complain about the waste of paper, or leaving lights on, but it is these little aspects that can make a big difference. Employees and employers alike have to rid themselves of lazy bad habits and turn the lights off when leaving the building. Starbucks was recently exposed by an investigation spearheaded by the Sun newspaper for wasting 23.4 million litres of water everyday because the company has a ridiculous policy of always leaving the taps running.
It is reasons such as this that environmental audits are so important for big business. They aid managers in identifying the areas of dissipation that are most damaging their CSR (corporate social responsibility) whether it be e-waste, air and water emissions or their lighting and heating situation. External environmental audits are typically less compromising and so more effective because the survey is conducted by an independent advisor who will have no qualms with informing the organisation on their many downfalls.
But on a day-to-day basis it is often a positive idea to appoint an internal auditor who can report to managers within the company as well as external agencies to ensure a lack of insider bias. Eventually a full environmental managing system should be initiated into the company’s proceedings, but this must be executed after environmental reviews have successfully taken place over an extended period of time.
For ease and efficiency it is best to break the workplace down into sections, such as office space, canteen, process areas etc. Then within each of those particular areas organise them into environmental subdivisions, for example; heating, lighting, water, air and other aspects prone to emissions. In this way it is a lot simpler for the appointed environmental auditor to keep track of the emissions in each area and take the appropriate action.
There are specific protocols for waste auditing which is of course directly linked to the environmental review. Audit managers must analyse the production and handling of all waste. The origin of the waste must be assessed, whether it is necessary or if it is possible to avoid. If it is unavoidable then the storage and disposal of such waste must be reviewed and improved.
Companies taking steps such as these can make a big difference in the wider picture of global warming and should encourage other organisations to do the same.
