Added something new to my daily routine.

I haven't been very health conscious in the past six months.  With all the traveling, my workout routines slowly slipped off my schedule, and as the number of social events increased exponentially, so did my excuses.  But, with the weather picking up and the numerous beach trips planned for the rest of summer, I decided it was time.  Time to really pull it together, recreate a routine and get back on track.  Not to mention, as I get older, I want to make sure my body continues to feel its best — youthful and healthy.

Coincidentally, in the weeks following my decision, I was introduced to Nu Skin.  To preface, when I had agreed to attend their event, I was certain that it was just a skincare line, then enter ageLOC, their most advanced anti-aging supplement and a whole gamete of technologies that peaked my interest.

Upon arrival, I tested out their biophotonic scanners — a technology originally invented to measure the carotenoid (antioxidant) levels in eyes, Nu Skin uses their modified version to measure your Skin Carotenoid Score.  The score is supposed to give you an idea about the key parts of your lifestyle you can work on to improve your overall health and well-being.  Their key messaging was exactly what I needed for my mind and body, and ultimately, their product aims at giving the body powerful, protective anti-aging support, and helps revitalize aging defense mechanisms to enhance a more active and energetic lifestyle by providing nutrients to the body that you wouldn't normally get from even a healthy, well-balanced diet. Using natural ingredients not commonly found such purple corn extract antioxidants, citrus bioflavonoids, and rosemary extract, the supplement provides a broad-spectrum of benefits to promote cellular, heart, metabolic, and skin health.

Even though our bodies are equipped with various age defense mechanisms that protect us from the pollutants that flood our day-to-day lives, over time, these can break down causing an accelerated aging process — which I'm sure you can agree, it's something none of us look forward to.  So, I'm always looking for ways to naturally preserve my youth, and anyone who knows me on a personal level knows that I'm pretty religious about my supplements.

The evening proceeded with a cooking class and a sit-down meal of delicious pan-seared wild caught salmon, roasted vegetables, three-grain salad, to name a few.  I left with a package of ageLOC that I've been using over the past two weeks, and though I'm starting to see a boost in my energy levels as well as an expedited recovery time from my new workouts, everything is enhanced with my overall decision to a more conscious lifestyle.
