Is Your Workout Enough? — Add DHEA to Your Fitness Routine

Regular exercise and staying active has repeatedly been proven to be the most important way to stay healthy. Yes, it is also important to eat a variety of fresh vegetables and avoid proteins high in saturated fats, drink plenty of water, and get 8 hours of sleep every night. But regular exercise at least 5 times per week is key. An advantage called Twist 25 DHEA cream can make exercise easier to do and recover from, and more beneficial for lean shapely muscle tone.

Some folks go for a jog, some prefer a brisk walk or trail hike; many people do yoga or cross-fit training, or go for a bike ride every day. Any such activities that keep our heart rate up over 120 beats per minute for more than 20 minutes helps us maintain our health. If you keep that aerobic heartbeat up for 30 minutes or an hour it’s even better.

But after age 35 it gets harder for people to muster the motivation to keep the daily exercise going. Work, kids, combined with diminishing energy and drive, make exercise one of those things that just gets left off the to-do list. Many rationalize it as “Well, I’m just too busy to exercise.” Or “I have too many other priorities that are more important…like work, and dropping off or picking up the kids.”

How do hormones matter? 
Being an adult can be demanding and stressful. There is work, kids, family and friends, groceries to buy, meals to make and housekeeping and yard work to do. So, by the end of a long day crashing out on the couch starts to seem like it would be a better option than going to do a yoga class or going for a jog or heading to the gym for a workout.
 
By age 35-45 there is another important thing going on inside our bodies that quietly compounds with life’s responsibilities to make the couch’s appeal even stronger allowing daily exercise to get left behind – hormone decline.

For the first 20 years of our lives, men and women alike make ever increasing levels of hormones. One of the most important hormone precursors is DHEA – dehydroepiandrosterone. DHEA is a naturally occurring prohormone. DHEA is a base building block for all of the sex hormones. Hormones are the chemical messengers that give us the drive and desire to be active and exercise. Hormones also are what give us shapely muscle tone that is obviously different for men or women.

 

Between age 35-45 many people begin to get discouraged that even though they are exercising, they just don’t notice the same benefits in how they look anymore. A picture speaks a thousand words. This graph shows DHEA levels over the human lifespan.

By providing DHEA on the skin, or dermis, the largest organ of the body, there are many noticeable advantages.

People notice that the benefits they gain from exercise return. Lean shapely muscle tone develops because hormone levels are regained. People also notice that they recover faster after exercising, and don’t suffer from debilitating muscle soreness the next day even after an intense workout.

So stay active. Exercise for at least 30 minutes every day. Eat right; drink plenty of water; and apply Twist 25 DHEA cream onto thin hairless skin every day. It will help you maintain that youthful physically fit look. Twist 25 DHEA cream also comes in a convenient airless cream pump that can be easily carried with you in your workout bag or purse. So it’s easy to have with you to apply after your shower post workout when your blood flow is good and your skin is clean and your pores are dilated.

Use Twist 25 DHEA cream to get the most from your exercise. Use Twist 25 cream, make your own hormones. This special DHEA supplement cream can give you that little health advantage to keep exercising, and enjoy the benefits staying fit and active can provide.

The Story of Twist 25 DHEA Cream

The DHEA Cream Innovation

Twist 25 is a skin cream that provides topical DHEA and is the result of 29 years of development by John R. Woodward, M.D., and his son, Hugh Woodward, President of Health2Go.

Trained at Yale University School of Medicine and Yale-New Haven Medical Center, Dr. Woodward has long had a specialized interest in providing leading-edge hormone replacement and maintenance for women and men. Hugh Woodward holds a MHA, Master of Science in Health Care Services Administration, and has worked in the health care industry for 25 years.
In 2006, Dr. Woodward told his son about one of his new advances, a cream he had developed to maintain vitality that was gaining great popularity among his patients. Hugh Woodward decided to try it himself, as it could positively impact the health of both men and women. After using it daily for 2 weeks he felt leaner, fitter, had more energy, more mental sharpness, better focus and was sleeping more deeply at night. This allowed him to awaken more rested and have more energy and productivity during the day. He felt more motivated to go to the gym and work out. The results and benefits of exercising became more noticeable. People started asking if he had lost weight.

Hugh called his father and said, “I love this cream. I feel great. What is it?” Dr. Woodward explained that it was a specially formulated pharmaceutical grade bioidentical cream developed and compounded for him by working with compounding pharmacists. “Since DHEA does not require a prescription, why isn’t any company making a high quality DHEA cream and providing it for people in health stores and clinics?” Hugh asked. “Good question,” Dr. Woodward replied.

Twist 25 DHEA Cream

The best formulations for bioidentical DHEA cream were researched, formulated and tested yielding the present Twist 25 DHEA cream – a very simple, clean coconut oil based cream with water, vitamin E and co-enzyme Q-10. The cream contains 50 mg/ml DHEA pharmaceutical grade bioidentical DHEA.

DHEA, Hormone Building Block

DHEA, dehydroepiandrosterone, is produced naturally in the body from birth. Men and women alike make more and more DHEA from birth to about age 25. After age 25 both men and women begin to make less and less DHEA with time. Each year people make 2% less than in the prior year.

DHEA is the precursor, or base building block, from which the body makes about 50 different hormones. DHEA is the most abundant pro-hormone in the body and is metabolized by the body in the adrenal glands, gonads, and the dermis (skin). The dermis is the largest organ of the body and is where metabolism of DHEA occurs normally. (ref Labrie Intracrinology study).

Studies show that by maintaining healthy hormone levels women and men can maintain better health and reduce the risks of heart disease, cancer, dementia, depression, metabolic syndrome, osteoporosis, obesity and more. The ideal goal, Dr. John R. Woodward, M.D. says, would be to maintain hormone levels of a healthy 30 year old. Maintain good health rather than try to recover health function lost.

Just a small application of Twist 25 DHEA Cream, morning and evening each day, can make a big difference in maintaining health for men and women ages 35 and up.
