Diseases of Aging

Natural Nutrition that targets building good health has been proven to work.  Avoiding diseases associated with aging not only helps you live longer but helps you feel better and younger right now.

We have choices.  We can live a lifestyle and eat a diet that raises our risk of having (preventable) illness and disease.  Or, we can also benefit from (proven) healthier lifestyles so that we prevent illness and disease, and even live a longer, healthier life.

Here is an interesting discussion of health, disease, and aging.  It includes solutions and is intended to aid in your personal research of a healthy lifestyle.

Look for Cellular Aging Episode

I heard something interesting on a television commercial yesterday.  It pointed out that our bodies are not synthetic, so why would we want to put synthetic vitamins and supplements in our bodies?  I think this goes back to something I believe which is that the body can heal itself with the right ‘food’.  The problem seems to be that we don’t give our bodies enough of the right ‘food’ and then many of us end up taking medicines to treat symptoms.  If we do the right things in the first place, feed the body ‘natural food’ that it can use to build good health, we can target prevention of disease and illness.

The reason I chose this natural nutrition brand is because it has a legacy of offering products that are real food, made as close to the way the ingredients would be found in nature as possible.   This is nutrition the body can use to help keep us in good health, and living longer (quality) years.

p.s.  What is a great benefit of trying natural nutrition and anti-aging with this brand?  There is a 100% money back guarantee.  That has stood for more than 52 years and is rarely used because the products deliver the desired results.

Live Longer AND Live Healthier

To Live Longer is a goal for many. But we don’t just want to grow old. We want to be healthy as we enjoy those extended years, with vitality, improved health, better physical shape and overall well-being.

The first step to improving health is providing our bodies with optimal nutrition to build good health. Since we have known for many years now that most of us do not get that nutrition from our daily diets, we need to supplement with vitamins, minerals, and sometimes herbal products.

Our next step can now be the revolutionary, breakthrough cellular anti-aging tonic that was introduced a short time ago to help us live longer. Resveratrol was first discovered in 1940 but remained relatively unknown for the next 50+ years when research linked it with heart benefits. Since that time there has been a great deal of research that has led to the association with aging benefits.

An optimal amount of resveratrol has been proven to extend life in the laboratory. This brand has taken that research to a new level with a more pure and natural form of resveratrol that is different from most sources on the market today that produce unwanted tolerance problems. That purest form which has been acquired by this brand results in resveratrol content that is no less than 98%.

In addition to greatly improving the resveratrol ingredient, polyphenols from a super grape are part of the formulation of this cellular tonic. As with many other products from this brand, the unique formulation is responsible for the ingredients enhancing each other’s effects and producing a more potent supplement that delivers greater benefits.

For more information on how the body ages and why our anti-aging tonic can impact that aging, please visit the brand site (blue link) and feel free to forward this link or pass along the news to someone you know that would like to live longer.

100 Glasses of Red Wine Per Day or 1 Teaspoon of Resveratrol

Or more specifically, the ‘effect’ of 100 glasses of wine each day?

Resveratrol, a natural substance found in red wine, has been shown in scientific laboratory testing to impact cellular aging.

Last winter Barbara Walters had a television special about anti-aging research. The world’s most famous scientific expert on anti-aging discussed with Barbara Walters the exciting new research that taps into the particular genes that protect us against aging. This very same doctor helped develop our brand of resveratrol (not the others on the market that use his name and research). Since his research on an anti-aging pharmaceutical product is still years away from the market, he found the science and quality our brand to be worthy of creating a natural supplement for people to start using right away.

This video has been moved.  PLEASE CLICK HERE TO VIEW BARBARA WALTERS LIVE TO 150 EPISODE.

The number one natural nutrition company in the United States has spent years of scientific research on such a complex resveratrol product. The result is a cellular anti-aging tonic that combines the optimal amount of resveratrol with other unique ingredients, from a super grape, to make a cellular tonic that represents a revolutionary breakthrough in anti-aging research.

Resveratrol from this brand, in a cold-extracted optimal amount, combined with a unique profile of polyphenols from a special grape that is the only one in nature to have an extra chromosome, is unique to any product in the world. That extra chromosome is associated with impacting the aging process the same as resveratrol. However, simply having the beneficial ingredients is not sufficient. The formulation and the purity are key to delivering results that provide benefits.

Protects and repairs cellular DNA

Positively impacts genetic regulators which help fight cellular aging

Promotes mitochondrial biogenesis, which helps increase the power production within the cells

Reduces the formation of AGE proteins that can gradually clog up your cells

This has resulted in more than 50 years of uniquely effective products based on solid science and research. We continue to use these products because they work!

Beijing Olympics Featured Athletes with Healthy Bodies

It was an enjoyable two weeks of watching Olympic athletes competing in their chosen sports. Watching Michael Phelps and the other swimmers, Shawn Johnson and Nastia Liukin with their teammates, and the Men’s and Women’s Basketball teams were the highlight of my viewing time.

The way these athletes perform so successfully is absolutely amazing. Of course what we see is the glory of the Olympic competition, and what they know is a tremendous amount of hard work, dedication, sacrifice and commitment to their sport and their body.

Taking care of one’s body and keeping it in ultimate shape for the pounding it takes is no small matter. Olympic athletes are most probably well versed in optimal nutrition including nutrition supplements.

While we are not all going to be Olympic athletes, it is in our best interest to be active. Physical activity is good for our bodies and gives us all kinds of healthy benefits.

The number one nutrition company in the United States, and the brand used by numerous Olympic athletes, including Jessica Mendoza, USA Softball, and Eli Bremer, Modern Pentathlon, here in the 2008 summer olympics, has announced a four-product nutrition foundation system, including a Vitalized pack, that is unique to any brand in the world.

Another component of the nutrition foundation is the new cellular anti-aging tonic that was just introduced on 8-8-08. This product is a revolutionary breakthrough in anti-aging research and is a natural food supplement. It contains resveratrol as part of a patent-pending formulation that is 10 times more powerful than resveratrol alone.

Healthy bodies require good choices in nutrition and can benefit greatly with the use of quality natural nutrition supplements.

I look forward to 2012 in London (summer games are my favorite) and will focus on my own healthy body until then!

Biodegradable & Green Are Staples of Brand

We can do our part to help the planet in many ways.  One important way is to green-clean our homes with safe, clean, non-toxic cleaners that are healthier for us and for the environment.  We can also help spread that message because it really does affect all of us.

Long before Green Was Cool.. Almost 50 years ago in fact, when a famous environmentally friendly household cleaning product was developed, the word biodegradable was not yet a household word. I am not even sure if it was a word at all, but it did describe this brand’s flagship home cleaning product.

Companies and individuals around the world are ‘going green’ now. I represent a company whose founder was always environmentally conscience. He made sure the company was built on that kind of foundation, and would keep the same legacy.

There are many green products that are imported to the USA. This brand has produced green products here in the USA for over half a century. The products have withstood the test of time, and the home cleaning line has increased to provide products needed for every household chore.

In the area of performance (isn’t that what really matters when we want our house clean), this brand has been tested alongside other ‘green’ brands as well as the not-so-green (even toxic) store brands. Performance proved superior in every way, and to make using this brand even sweeter, it costs less per use.

The important difference to note is the concept of concentrated, which means one must adjust to using very small amounts of product that will clean powerfully well. Green products from this brand have a money back guarantee and yet I do not know of a product returned by anyone in our group. Performance speaks for itself!

To learn all about green cleaning with the environmentally safe brand of 50+ years, or to join us in spreading this important way to help our planet, please visit www.yourhealthwebsite.net.

Ultra Marathon Man Chooses Best Nutrition Brand

Ultra Marathon Man, Dean Karnazes,is a warrior who chooses products from the #1 Natural Nutrition company to train and compete in endurance running.

Dean’s blog at runner’s world tells about how he was selected to carry the Olympic torch while it passed through his hometown of San Francisco, CA.

A recent entry announced the nationwide film premiere of the 50 Marathons movie and encouraged those runners who are attending to ‘run’ to the show! Not sure what theater owners will think about that, but you can see more on the movie website.

Dean’s impressive accomplishements have inspired many, from young kids to adults, to become better runners. They include: Winning the Atacama Crossing, a brutal 6-day race across Chile’s most inhospitable desert; winning the Badwater Ultramarathon, 135 miles through the bowels of Death Valley in July; running a hellish minus-40-degree race through the South Pole (in running shoes); running 50 marathons in 50 states in 50 consecutive days and finishing with the NYC Marathon (which he completed in 3 hours flat); swimming across the San Francisco Bay; climbing Yosemite’s Half Dome; mountain-biking for 24 hours straight; and surfing the monstrous waves off Hawaii’s coast.

Karnazes’ philosophies fit in well with our #1 Natural Nutrition company’s philosophies. Quality of the brand, authenticity of products, and the science and research behind the products stand out to this athlete. For an accomplished top athlete like Dean to believe in and use this clinically-proven brand as part of his regimen is a great example for younger athletes and their parents who are searching for good nutrition for them.

There is a podcast interview with Dean Karnazes where you can learn more about him.

Omega 3’s and Dementia

This post will address both how omega 3 fatty acids can help with dementia and why you want to do your homework when you choose a fish oil brand.

When Alzheimer’s disease hits a family member, it is quite devastating. When your brain is shutting down it destroys your life.

While we have known that omega-3 fatty acids are important for brain development in the very young, it has only been recently that studies are verifying that omega-3 fatty acids can help keep our minds sharp as we get older.

Just this morning I read an article that reported how “two studies published in the November 2007 issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition show that diets high in omega-3 fatty acids such as EPA and DHA reduce the risk of developing dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, as we get older”.

One study involved people who ate at least 6 ounces of fish twice a week or more. Those folks had significantly higher scores in all cognitive function tests.

The other study measured blood levels of omega 3 fatty acids which is a good indicator when consumed from both diet and supplements. The group with the highest blood levels of omega-3 fatty acids produced the best results.

An important consideration is to evaluate the source of the omega 3 fatty acids that will be most beneficial to us. What is important is that long chain fatty acids like EPA and DHA, found in fish oil, provide the cognitive benefits for people, and what is found in our diets is mostly the shorter chain fatty acid ALA.

The key here is that our bodies must convert ALA to EPA and DHA, and we have to consume alot of the former to result in enough of the latter to get the benefits. This makes it very hard to get what we need from most food sources, and confirms the importance of getting the EPA and DHA that benefits our bodies so much from cold water fish or fish oil supplements.

In regard to eating fish as part of our diets, the concern with consuming enough to get the benefits we need is that we do not have toxin-free farm raised fish available. Plus many people simply do not eat fish (or enough of it) consistently each week.

There are many benefits of fish oil supplements in the areas of heart disease and conditions involving inflammation such as arthritis and even asthma. With the new research regarding Alzsheimer’s disease it is even more desirable to supplement our diets with fish oil.

Now we come to brand choice, and the importance of purity and potency. The video below will share the benefits of the brand we represent here and what sets it apart from other choices:

Calcium and Bone Health

Calcium protects your bones and many folks do not get enough calcium daily from their food. Also, one of the very first supplement stories I heard about were horror stories of people who faithfully took calcium supplements that their bodies were not absorbing. We want to be sure the vitamins and minerals we take are going to be absorbed in our bodies so they can provide the benefits we need.

Below is a video about calcium benefits and some audios follow that discuss science about calcium and also interesting responses to myths about calcium.

Please allow time for the audios to download on your webpage. If you are not able to access the audios, please email me and let me know.

Magnesium Critical To Your Health

Not only are our diets deficient in certain vitamins and minerals that are needed for good health, our busy lifestyles that don’t allow us to always eat properly create a need for extra nutrients.

Some 80% of us don’t get enough magnesium in our diets. Not to worry.. there is an easy and very effective way to fix that. Below is a short video clip about Magnesium from the #1 Natural Nutrition Company in the United States.

The proprietary blend in this brand’s magnesium choice includes elemental magnesium from three different sources. There is potassium for proper nerve transmission, normal muscle contraction and heart health, plus boron to aid in bone metabolism and magnesium utilization.

The benefits can include helping to retain normal blood pressure and a steady heartbeat, helping to retain normal blood sugar, and providing relief from PMS symptoms, including water retention, breast tenderness, and bloating.

The difference in this brand compared to other brands is the gel-diffusion delivery system that slowly releases nutrients over four to six hours. This delivery system is designed to prevent gastrointestinal upset commonly associated with magnesium supplements.

If you think you may be at risk for not getting enough magnesium, it is worth some time and effort investigating whether a nutrition supplement such as this very easy-to-do-daily choice (and very inexpensive) might help you maintain good health.
