Nutrients are the building materials of a body constantly under construction. Dysfunction and disease are always associated with a depletion of nutrients. When nutrients are repleted function normalizes! This is such a simple and powerful concept that so few accept or understand.

How to Save Your Skin

Let your food be your medicine and your medicine be your food.*
Specific compounds found in broccoli sprouts were found in experimental mice to decrease the damage caused by UV radiation to skin thus decreasing the likely hood of developing skin cancer. Skin tumors that did develop on some of the mice were up to 70% smaller than those that developed on the mice that were not fed the broccoli compounds.
Cruciferous vegetables, like broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage and Brussels sprouts, contain high levels of the active plant chemicals known as glucosinolates. These are metabolized by the body into isothiocyanates, which are known to be powerful anti-carcinogens. The main isothiocyanate from broccoli is sulphoraphane.

Biological link between stress, anxiety and depression identified

Through chemical signals in the brain stress can lead to anxiety and depression. We are all faced with stress and some of can actually be good for us. Today, however, we have stress from just too many angles. Poor diet and sleep habits, overuse of electronics and exposure to electromagnetic fields, lack of economic and societal stability, environmental pollution affecting everything we eat, breathe, and drink, and....and....and....You can probably add a whole lot to this list. The key is to modify our ability to handle the stress. An already stressed system exposed to more chronic stress will, without a doubt, succumb given enough time.

This study shows on a biological level how stress turns into anxiety and depression. We want to head off the anxiety and depression and need for meds and therapy. The first key is to decide what's really worth stressing about. Then it's very important to test your cortisol and other hormones and neurotransmitters to find out how your body is handling all this stress. Usually it's not so good. When this information is gathered you can be put on a nutritional program which will boost your ability to handle stress.

Next it's really important to determine your ability to detoxify and choose appropriate nutrients and diet. A prescription of 7 hours sleep a night is mandatory in order to restore your sleep wake hormones which have been depleted due to bad habits.

Water is the next key to helping your brain and body. So many people are simply dehydrated, both from lack of water intake combined with excess consumption of caffeinated beverages which act as diuretics.

After all this is accomplished a plan of excercise can be drawn up to build cardio vascular integrity and restore lost muscle mass. Along the way this will also help normalize blood sugar, reduce fat, strengthen the heart and other inner organs, and drastically reduce the chances of all the major diseases.

Best of all you'll feel good and enjoy life! Why not?

Sit still, Lose Muscle

Loss of muscle begins in the 30s as Testosterone and Growth Hormone begin to decrease. Muscle loss also occurs due to inactivity and disease. Some people face this triple whammy and by the time the reach their 50s or 60s they are already in severe physical decline. The good news is that this trend can be reversed at any age at least to some degree. Sedentary geriatrics in nursing home have been given a weight lifting program with light hand weights and have shown marked improvement in muscle mass and strength in just a short period of time. The right nutrients can also add to the effects. Certain amino acids will help build muscle by releasing the natural Growth Hormone which is stored in the brain.

Cancer Linked to Other Chronic Illnesses

This is not surprising to integrative practitioners. Why? Because it's all about inflammation and a high degree of acidity. The body is on fire. This is the common source of all these diseases. Detoxification is critical to increase salivary pH to 7.0 and to decrease systemic inflammation. Other good practices towards this goal are to drink 2-3 liters of water per day with cut up lemon and orange slices, sleep 7 hours in a dark room, exercise, and eat plenty of fruits and vegetables as part of an anti-inflammatory diet. Learning how to handle stress is also very important. Frankincense from Ethiopia is a very powerful anti-anxiety and depression medication when inhaled. Get the oil and put some on your forehead and neck. You can even put it on your pillow at night.

Words Really Do Hurt

Dark Chocolate May Improve Metabolic Stress Response Say Nestlé Researchers

Dark chocolate to the stress rescue! What could be better news? Dark chocolate actually reduces elevated cortisol levels. Cortisol is also known as adrenaline and is elevated in response to stress and anxiety. When the stress is chronic cortisol levels can be high for so long that they become depleted as the adrenal glands can longer produce it. If the stress is still there this can be a dangerous situation.

In these cases we need to give the adrenal glands the nutrients they crave in order to function properly in response to stress. Dark chocolate, green tea, and dry red wine fit the bill! Make these items part of your daily diet.

Vegetable Juice Aided In Dietary Support For Weight Loss And Lower Blood Pressure

In this study V8 vegetable juice was used to help subject lower blood pressure. V8 has a problem in that it's loaded with sodium which is known to raise blood pressure.

A better solution is to buy a VitaMix machine. This is not a juicer. Juicers separate the valuable pulp from the juice. The VitaMix purees the entire vegetable. In this way you get whole vegetables and fruits for the health benefits and you need much less produce when compared to a standard juicer. That saves you money.
