█   Vitamins Delay Aging

The Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada just published the results of a new study of a cocktail of vitamins, minerals, and herbs. They showed that they could delay major aspects of aging. And, it extended lifespan by 10%!

Another study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition also found that multivitamins can keep you younger, longer. It showed that people who take a daily multivitamin had younger DNA and 5.1% longer telomeres than people who didn’t take a multivitamin.

Here are some antioxidants that are most effective at keeping your cells as young as possible for as long as possible:

Vitamin A: Helps prevent night blindness, lowers the risk of macular degeneration, decreases the risk of lung and breast cancer, and maximizes skin health. Take 20,000 i.u. daily.

Vitamin E: Fights free radicals, lowers risk of heart disease, and lowers the risk of prostate and colon cancer. Take 200 i.u. daily.

Vitamin C: Fights free radicals, maintains body structure, helps your immune system, aids the nervous system, and helps break down histamines. Take 500 mg. daily.

Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA): Lowers the risk of lung disease and neurological disorders. Take 50 mg. daily.

CoQ10: Destroys free radicals, and successfully treats heart disease, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. Helps prevent arteriosclerosis. I recommend 50 mg. of the more potent form, ubiquinol, daily.

Lutein: Protects your vision, and lowers the risk of cancer and heart disease. Take 12,000 mcg. daily.

Lycopene: Prevents coronary artery disease, and reduces the risk of prostate and pancreatic cancers. Take 10-20 mg. daily.       From Dr. Al Sears

  

█  Harnessing the Healing Powers of Music

Nothing really engages the human brain like music.

The left brain enjoys rhythmic structures, chord progressions, and the way lyrics fit nicely. While the right brain soars on melody and emotional responses produced by the infinite combinations of instruments and voices.

But music's effect on the brain may go far beyond enjoyment. In fact, more than 5,000 certified music therapists in the US base their professional practice on the healing properties of music.

Along with these specialized therapists, neurologists have been conducting research that's already revealed evidence that music is a multipurpose therapeutic tool.

Researchers have found that music can establish a steady pace that helps patients with advanced Parkinson's disease initiate walking.

Music therapy has also been used to temporarily open up areas of memory for Alzheimer's patients. And in one study, mood and function significantly improved in subjects with dementia who learned that when they pushed a button they would be rewarded with a familiar song.

█  Eating Vitamin B-rich Foods May Help Stave Off Heart Disease

According to a new study published in the most recent issue of the journal Stroke, people who consume foods rich in B vitamins may be less likely to die from cardiovascular disease.

The investigators discovered that men with the highest blood levels of folate and vitamin B6 suffered significantly fewer deaths from heart failure compared to men with the lowest levels of the nutrient. Meanwhile, women who consumed a diet rich in B vitamins had a decreased risk of dying from stroke, heart disease and other cardiovascular-related events.

Health Day News reports that fish, meats, liver and whole grains are the best sources of vitamin B6, while fruits, beans, legumes and fortified cereals are well-known sources of folate.  www.personalliberty.com/news/eating-vitamin-b-rich-foods-may-help-stave-off-heart-disease-19727120/  

█  Walnuts Slow Prostate Tumors

Walnut consumption slows the growth of prostate cancer in mice, and has beneficial effects on multiple genes related to the control of tumor growth and metabolism, researchers have found.

A study shows that when mice with prostate tumors consume the equivalent of an amount of walnuts that could easily be eaten by a man, tumor growth is controlled.

Prostate cancer affects one in six American men. It is one in which environmental factors, especially diet, play an important role.

Numerous clinical studies have demonstrated that eating walnuts -- rich in omega-3 polyunsaturated fats, antioxidants and other plant chemicals -- decreases the risk of cardiovascular disease. http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2010/04/10/walnuts-slow-prostate-tumors.aspx

 

█  Pistachios Cut Cancer Risk

Making pistachios a regular part of your diet could reduce your risk of cancer, according to a study conducted by researchers from the University of Texas and Texas Women' University, and presented at the American Association for Cancer Research's Frontiers in Cancer Prevention Research Conference in Houston.

Pistachios are known to be high in a form of vitamin E known as gamma-tocopherol, which has been linked to a lower risk of some cancers.

"It is known that vitamin E provides a degree of protection against certain forms of cancer. Higher intakes of gamma-tocopherol ... may reduce the risk of lung cancer," researcher Ladia M. Hernandez said. www.naturalnews.com/028612_pistachios_cancer.html

 

 

█  How Sugar Can Make or Break Your Health

Modern science has shown that the obesity epidemic isn’t simply about lack of self-control, but rather a phenomenon driven by biochemical changes that have altered the way your body regulates energy.

It’s hard to imagine, but a vast array of modern processed foods contain more sugar than a glazed doughnut! Sugar in some form is present in nearly every packaged product, from spaghetti sauce, salad dressing, and peanut butter, to mayonnaise and ketchup, just to name a few.

This outrageously excessive sugar consumption has caused people’s appetite regulation system to go awry. Leptin, the hormone responsible for satiety, isn’t working properly anymore in a majority of people.  It has now become clear that limiting sugar – and fructose in particular -- in your diet is a key to longevity for a number of reasons.

For example, according to Dr. Richard Johnson, author of The Sugar Fix, about 25% of all Americans consume over ½ a pound of added sugars a day, and this statistic dovetails nicely with the statistics showing that one in four Americans is either pre-diabetic or has type 2 diabetes.

Diabetics have, on average, a reduced lifespan of about 15 years.  http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2010/04/15/shocking-sugar-content-of-common-food-products.aspx

█   EXERCISE FOR PEOPLE OVER 50

Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have plenty of room at each side. 

With a 5-lb potato bag in each hand, extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long as you can. Try to reach a full minute, and then relax.

Each day you'll find that you can hold this position for just a bit longer. After a couple of weeks, move up to 10-lb potato bags.Then try 50-lb potato bags and then eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-lb potato bag in each hand and hold your arms straight for more than a full minute.

After you feel confident at that level, put a potato in each bag.     J Thanks for the smile Carmella.
