| Anti-aging Diet Anti-aging is possible as the body is designed to heal and repair itself with the aid of proper nutrition. The body requires two vital materials to complete this - energy and raw material. These two requirements are needed to maintain the cell's proper functions. The body is made up of cells and all cells are living. All living things need food. Each cell needs the proper food to keep it strong. Cells die and replace themselves at various intervals. Many of the foods that we have been told are good for us in actual fact may cause degeneration. This can be shown by muscle testing.
