Our bodies are made up of four types of biological materials, stuff called tissue. While nerve and epithelial tissue electrify and cover respectively, the bulk of our body is made up of connective and muscle tissue, that are woven together to form a unified whole that composes the mass of our beefy biological robot.
When we get older, our bones become brittle. Our muscles weaken. Our joints break down. Our skin thins. For the most part, it is this connective muscle tissue complex that’s breaking down. Learning how to maintain its hefty robust nature is the very essence of anti-aging.
There’s lots of nutritional strategies for keeping our flesh robots strong and healthy. While all the essential vitamins & minerals are critical, nothing is more important than plain old vitamin C. You can think of “the C” as standing for connective tissue and the anti scurvy vitamin is renowned for its beef building benefits.
Vitamin C comes in various forms but all you really need for maximum anti-aging is ascorbic acid. A good daily dose is one to two grams of the powder, but many people benefit from taking as much as 10 grams a day. Make sure you divide your total daily dose up into smaller doses, as taking too much all at once can cause some digestive distress.
