Emerging Crisis for Seniors: It's Probably Not What You Think
As November is National Caregiver Month, I wanted to shine a light on a topic that caregivers and their loved ones are facing at increasing rates, but that very few people are talking about in public - senior malnutrition.The sheer number of malnourished elderly adults is truly staggering.

Patients diagnosed with malnutrition have a length of stay three times longer than those who do not arrive in a state of malnutrition. Patients who are malnourished prior to undergoing surgery have a 4 times higher risk of developing a pressure ulcer d...

Media reckons science now proves 'carbs' are fine again
Conclusion
This study has found that over a short time period, mice fed a diet that’s low in protein and high in carbohydrates gained less weight than those fed diets with higher levels of protein. It also found that mice lost weight regardless of the amount of protein and carbohydrate if the number of calories was restricted.
The researchers say that the mice fed unlimited low protein, high carbohydrate diets did not gain as much weight because they burned off more calories. In this study, their "metabolic status" improved compared to mice with unlimited higher protein diets. However, previous research has sho...

Feed Your Inner Caveman
As an anti-aging specialist, I’ve spent a lot of time studying and treating osteoporosis among the many “older” patients who come to my wellness clinic.
Many of them believe they must accept this painful and dangerous condition as an unavoidable part of aging.
This means I also spent a lot of time debunking the osteoporosis propaganda put out by the medical establishment.
I want them to learn about the natural ways they can keep their skeletons strong – at any age!
