muscles to contract and become tight as we age, drawing the head forward and rounding the spine, which produces a pronounced slouch,” says Smith, author of Feed Muscle, Shrink Fat Diet. Bending, stretching and strength


training strengthens the shoulder and back muscles that help us stay upright. Smith recommends a “walking desk”, es- sentially a treadmill with a board across the arms where a laptop can rest, and the user walks at only one to two miles per hour. “You’re moving, not sitting, and that is really important,” says Smith. Yoga postures like the cobra and the


bow are also helpful, as are visits to a chiropractor or other structural therapist.


Healthy Skin “Your skin is a roadmap of your overall health,” says Dr. Rick Noodleman, a dermatologist who practices anti-aging medicine in California’s Silicon Valley with his wife. He explains that skin ag- ing is caused by the three D’s: deflation, descent and deterioration. All of them can be reversed.


Deflation is the loss of volume and moisture, which can be offset by


proper internal hydration, healthy nu- trition and good moisturizers. “People can make new collagen well into their 80s and even 90s,” he says. Deteriora- tion is the loss of skin tone and elastic- ity that can accompany stress, poor diet and lack of exercise.


Noodleman recommends regular exfoliation of skin on the face (an eco- nomical home facial with baking soda and water or eggs is high on his list) and dry brushing the whole body. He also notes that new laser treatments, acupres- sure facelifts and other spa treatments can help temporarily minimize wrinkles and bring back a youthful glow. It’s not hard to be vibrant, healthy and energetic at any age if one is living a healthy lifestyle. “I feel like I am 30. I expect to feel that way for the rest of my life,” says the 60-something Teitelbaum. “Of course, I’m not at the beach in a Speedo,” he quips. “Who wants to look 20? There is also a certain beauty in age.”

Here’s what some of our customers have to say about Dr. Emu’s Rx for Pain:


“It totally resolved by back issues and knee pain in one day. I had back surgery twice and one knee replacement. I still had intense pain and my doctor said I would have to live with it. I use it every night and in the morning and I have not had pain in months. Thank you for a life- saving product.” Darlene Masters “I ... was amazed at how good this is. It has taken away the pain from my hip/leg/ankle and reduced the swelling in my ankles I get every summer. Thank you!” Patty Mullins

“Through the years, accidents had left me with a crushed heel, seven herniated discs and a torn rotator cuff. I was spending $4,500 a month on medication prescriptions including for pain and became addicted to oxycontin. Finally, I decided not to allow drugs to control my life anymore. I became intrigued by an up-and-coming natural aid: Emu Oil. Out of personal necessity to get off drugs, aided by pain management doctors, other


medical personnel, herbalists and lengthy research and development, I created the natural topical pain relief product, Dr. Emu’s Rx for Pain. It not only eased my pain within minutes, it also made my life more livable again. Since then, many physical therapists, chiropractors and pain management doctors have testified to its apparent effectiveness with their patients.”
