Anti Aging Herbs Give You Scientific Reasons To Use Them

Herbs that fight inflammation become even more important as you age because many diseases are worsened with chronic inflammation. For example, arthritis, heart disease, diabetes, other joint diseases, and neurological disorders are accelerated and complications set in when levels of inflammation are high.

Herbs that are known to have anti-inflammatory actions include ginger, cat’s claw, cilantro, cinnamon, parsley, rosemary, turmeric, cardamon, and black pepper.

Anti Aging Herbs Prevent Insulin Resistance and Diabetes

Anti aging herbs may also reduce your blood sugar levels, especially after you eat a high carbohydrate meal. High blood sugar is damaging to all body tissues as the sugar cannot be cleared out of the body, yet it must deposit itself somewhere.

Some herbs that lower blood sugar levels include Gymnema sylvestris, Stevia rebaudiana, banaba, Pfaffia paniculata (Suma), licorice, alfalfa, fenugreek, bilberry, dandelion root, onions, ginseng and garlic.

Anti Aging Herbs Kill Cancer Cells

Anti aging herbs may also have the benefit of reducing the formation of cancer cells after exposure to chemicals in the water, air, and food. Prevention goes a long way for staying free from cancer, and herbs may be a part of your plan for cancer prevention. Some anti aging herbs with anti cancer abilities include curcumin, astragalus, cat’s claw, Echinacea, milk thistle, red clover, sheep’s sorrel, wheatgrass and wormwood.
