What is the Solution? Visit www.lifewave.com/acugraph or Use Distributor ID: 760626 Y-Age Aeon Clinically tested to reduce stress in the body A clinical study showed a balancing of the autonomic nervous system within just 10 minutes of patch application. This is a result of a calm, stress-free state. In another study, infrared imaging illustrated a decrease in inflammation in response to Aeon.

Inflammation Visit www.lifewave.com/acugraph or Use Distributor ID: 760626 C-reactive proteins Clinical tests demonstrated that Y-Age Aeon lowers C-reactive proteins (which rises in response to inflammation) C-reactive proteins increase with age with multiple degenerative diseases This is important because inflammation is often a symptom of stress and it can damage healthy tissue and even DNA. People with high levels of C-reactive protein are 4 times more likely to have heart attacks -Sinatra, 2004

Inflammation Visit www.lifewave.com/acugraph or Use Distributor ID: 760626 Fibrinogen Other clinical tests demonstrated that Aeon lowers Fibrinogen (which rises in response to inflammation). Rise’s in Fibrinogen has been linked to high blood pressure and stroke Lower levels of Plasma Fibrinogen have been linked to longer life span - Wang et al, 1998

Inflammation Visit www.lifewave.com/acugraph or Use Distributor ID: 760626 Homocysteine High levels of Homocysteine is detectable in all inflammatory diseases –Wu, 2007 Homocysteine can lead to both acute and chronic inflammation Homocysteine induced oxidative stress Damages blood vessels Favours lipid peroxidation Induces production of inflammatory factors Lin et al,(2009)

Inflammation Visit www.lifewave.com/acugraph or Use Distributor ID: 760626 Lipid Peroxidation Level of lipid peroxides is a measure of cellular damaged caused by the action of free radicals on cell membranes -Micque et al (1998) The elevation of lipid peroxides is an early warning of the effects of oxidative stress Outcome of long term oxidative stress is chronic degenerative disease -Halliwell et al,(1993)

Inflammation Visit www.lifewave.com/acugraph or Use Distributor ID: 760626 Lipid Peroxidation Damage to the structure of cell membrane lipid molecules lead to changes in their; Permeability Transport mechanisms Communication signalling This disrupts many cellular processes

Inflammation Affects Visit www.lifewave.com/acugraph or Use Distributor ID: 760626 Organs Brain Heart Kidneys Lungs Arteries Inflammatory conditions can be found in most if not all of the diseases that affect the organs above

Inflammation Visit www.lifewave.com/acugraph or Use Distributor ID: 760626 Y-Age Aeon In study’s Y-Age Aeon has shown to; Decrease C-reactive protein levels Decrease Fibrinogen levels Decrease Homocysteine levels Decrease Lipid Peroxide levels

Inflammation Visit www.lifewave.com/acugraph or Use Distributor ID: 760626 Y-Age Aeon Aeon reduces stress as measured by increased activity of the parasympathetic nervous system Aeon patches reduce the biochemical markers of inflammation that cause tissue and organ damage By reducing tissue and organ damage we can reduce the wear and tear associated with ageing.

How does Y-Age Aeon work? Visit www.lifewave.com/acugraph or Use Distributor ID: 760626 Y-Age Aeon Our autonomic nervous system is perhaps the most important indicator of how your body handles stress. This regulatory system controls most of the involuntary activities of your body, such as digestion, metabolism and heart rate. Our research has shown that Y-Age Aeon helps support the balance of the autonomic nervous system, ultimately decreasing the body's stress response.

How does Y-Age Aeon work? Visit www.lifewave.com/acugraph or Use Distributor ID: 760626 Y-Age Aeon "Infrared imaging provides visual representation of the Aeon patch at work. After 10 minutes, you can see a clear drop in local temperature, indicating a reduction in inflammation." – Dean Clark, DC

How is Y-Age Aeon used? Visit www.lifewave.com/acugraph or Use Distributor ID: 760626 Y-Age Aeon Patches are placed on Acupressure points They react with the body’s thermal emissions (Heat) They then emit a frequency into the point which stimulates the Autonomic Nervous System The result is a reduction in inflammation A reduction in stress Increased blood flow

Drink plenty of clean water each day Exercise, eat nutritious foods, avoid excess Use Y-Age Aeon to protect and repair your body from stress Summary of Anti-Stress Strategy Visit www.lifewave.com/acugraph or Use Distributor ID: 760626
