4 Easy Ways To Beat Aging
I’ve been hearing it nearly all of my life: Save your money for your “old age.”
I’m sure that well-meaning friends and relatives have been telling you the same thing for years, too.
But more than 2,100 years ago, the Roman philosopher Virgil hit the nail on the head when he said: “The greatest wealth is health.”
And these aren’t just fancy words of philosophical wisdom. They are very good practical advice.
You should be saving something much more important than money – no matter what your age.
I’m talking about saving your telomeres, those tiny “countdown clocks”...

I Can See Clearly Now…
Most doctors these days will tell you that eating oily fish can prevent you from going blind in later years.
They’re on the right track, but as usual they’ve ended up with the wrong conclusion.
It is true that the omega-3 fatty acids found in oily fish, like tuna, salmon and sardines, lower the risk of what we call macular degeneration, the leading cause of blindness in old age.
The macula is an area at the back of the eye and is responsible for what we see in the centre of our vision.
With age, the macula can deteriorate, causing the central vision to be blurry and it can progresses to complete blindness.

Welcome To My World, Dr. Oz
Dr. Oz and I must be doing something right – otherwise, we wouldn’t incur the wrath of the medical establishment, Big Pharma and Big Agra.
Recently, 10 doctors lobbied Columbia University to oust celebrity physician Mehmet Oz from the distinguished university’s hospital and its department of health sciences and medicine.
In a letter to the department’s dean of faculty, the doctors attacked him for presenting alternative and natural cures on his syndicated TV program, The Dr. Oz Show.
They also chastised him for being concerned about genetically modified crops.
Welcome to my world, Dr. Oz.

These Special Omega-3s Beat Depression
Over the years, I’ve seen an increasing number of patients at my wellness clinic suffering from depression – many without even knowing it.
This terrible rise is a reflection of a growing epidemic of depression that’s happening all over the Western world.
Depression is often hard to diagnose, because the individual symptoms often point to so many other things.
Psychiatrists often talk about chemical imbalances in the brain – as if they really know what the right balance should be. They don’t. In fact, they’re guessing.
And it’s hard to calculate the very real impact of spending every weekda...

How To Live Smarter And Longer
The chances are you’re not getting enough of the right kind of fat in your diet. In fact, all of us are in the same boat, because it’s impossible to get enough of the kind of fat I’m talking about.
As an anti-aging specialist, I make it a point to educate my patients about which nutrients will help them live a healthy, happy life for as long as possible.
At the top of my list are the two of the most potent omega-3 fatty acids – eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid, better known as EPA and DHA.
These crucial omega-3 fats literally have the power to fend off old age. And they do it by resetting ...

The Great Herb Heist
For a long time, I’ve been warning you that the big box stores are being less than honest with you when it comes to supplements. In fact, it appears they want to rip you off.
Investigators in New York State have discovered that the merchandising giants, riding high on the health-and-wellness wave, have been overcharging customers for cut-rate herbs, vitamins, minerals and other supplements.
You may have read about it or heard it on the news. But it’s even worse than I previously thought.
I started out warning you to stay away from synthetic multi-vitamins that require 400 times the recommended dose to do you an...

Your Upset Tummy Could Be Early Signs Of Parkinson’s
You’ve probably had a gut feeling once or twice in your life. That’s because your gut and your brain have a special connection.
And that’s why the first sign of many brain disorders could be an upset stomach.
I often explain to patients at my wellness clinic that nerve and biochemical pathways run between your gut and brain. And these might be linked to a number of degenerative illnesses, such as Parkinson’s disease and multiple sclerosis, as well as mental health problems.
In fact, the gut and brain share the same nerve chemistry and, with the help of microbes in your digestive tract, these two reg...

Lost secret to better vision
Ancient cultures knew the value of the whole, fresh foods they ate, and what to do with them. Like eating fish for better eyesight. Unfortunately, this way of looking at things with an eye on nature has been discarded and forgotten.
Today, we have all of these individualized categories of study being looked at by very smart people. But we’re not as smart as we think. The people who interpret the information often don’t apply wisdom.
And their attempts to outsmart nature run into predictable problems.
Vitamin A was the first vitamin isolated and studied by modern science. And until a few years ago, it was mainstream adv...

New and revised standards for omega-3s, natural sweeteners and other food ingredients proposed
(US Pharmacopeia) To help ensure the quality of popular food ingredients increasingly being incorporated into products sold in the United States and worldwide, standards for omega 3-rich krill oil and natural, low-calorie stevia sweeteners are among the latest proposed revisions to the Food Chemicals Codex (FCC). FCC is an internationally recognized compendium of food ingredient quality standards published by the US Pharmacopeial Convention. (Source: EurekAlert! - Biology)
