The Best Anti Aging Tests ad Labs

Aging is inevitable.  We will all age, however we do have some control over the rate at which we age.   It could be fast or slow.  Anti aging tests and labs can give us an indication regarding what parts of our bodies are aging and how we compare to others our age or those who are younger.  Anti aging tests and labs can be useful for targeting what is aging us so we can take preventive measures to slow or even reverse the process.

Acid Alkaline Balance and Mineral Status

A first morning test of the pH of your urine is one of the quick and easy anti again tests and labs that cab be done at home  it can give you a lot of information about how well your body is functions.  If your body is to acidic with a pH less then 6.5 it suggests mineral deficiencies.  Your body will pull out minerals from your bone, especially calcium to adjust the blood pH that has to be kept in tight range for you to sustain life.  A low pH can indicate mineral deficiencies.  If you are to alkaline with a pH above a 7.5 you will break down protein and muscle and use amino acids as a source of energy. 

​

• Get urine pH test strips.  When you first get up in the morning collect a sample and dip the strip into your urine.  The optimal pH is 6.5 to 7.5

• If to acidic pH <6.5, take magnesium and multi mineral supplement and eat non dairy foods rich in calcium.  Cut down on meat and dairy products, which are acidic.

• A high pH of able 7.5 may be prevalent in vegetarians, therefore eat more acidic foods not necessarily meat

• Underlying illnesses such as kidney disorders, gastrointestinal disorders, medications, infections, vomiting or respiratory problems can also affect pH so get a check up by your doctor.​

• Vitamin D, which plays a role in prevention and treatment of diabetes, osteoporosis, high blood pressure, multiple sclerosis and cancer. 

• Physical bio-markers of aging such as hormone status, nitric oxide, waist to hip ratio, balance, reaction time. muscle strength and flexibility, heart rate variability and cognitive function are anti aging tests and lab tests that can be powerful indicators on how to target and treat what is aging you.  You can prevent or reverse accelerated again.  These are all part of comprehensive physical.
