Let me tell you about the even more amazing properties of glucosamine. I know you’ll be as excited as I am. Glucosamine:  Protects Joints, Helps Diabetes…Extends LIFE As unbelievable as that […]

Cocoa May Help Aging Brain Function

People who ate high or moderate levels of cocoa flavanols for two months improved significantly in some thinking assessment tests, a U.S. food expert says. “A study in the journal Hypertension found elderly people with mild cognitive impairment given dietary flavanols from chocolate did better on cognition tests,” Phil Lempert, a food industry analyst, trend watcher and creator of supermarketguru.com, said in a statement. “They also experienced a decrease in insulin resistance, which helps regulate blood sugar, as well as improvements in blood pressure, compared with those who consumed only small amounts.” Flavanols are a type of flavonoid — the […]

Is This Old Supplement The New Key To Osteoporosis?

You’ve likely heard about melatonin.  It’s a supplement that’s been around for a few decades now.  It was originally touted as a cure for jet lag and even everyday insomnia.

As I mentioned above, we’ve known for a few decades now how great melatonin is for helping with sleep disorders.  But […]

Does This Common B Vitamin Hold The Key To Aging?

I’m interested in preserving my patient’s health in whatever new medical research can offer them.  About a year ago, I came across a promising new “anti-aging formula” that was being developed by researchers out of Harvard University and the University of New South Wales.  I was amazed when I learned what the key ingredient in this anti-aging super nutrient is – I think you will be too.

Diet Could Hold Back Aging

Scientists in the North East may be a step closer to finding a way to slow down the aging process. Newcastle University has identified that damaged protein could be one of the key aspects to premature ageing. A team of experts found that the condition of key proteins in the mitochondria – the “batteries” of cells – could be used to predict, and eventually treat, premature aging. It was established that one way of slowing down the aging process was by restricting diet to reduce the number of calories consumed. A study with mice identified that by using calorie restriction, a […]

Vitamin K Intake Associated With Lower Risk of Dying

A study reported online on March 19, 2014 in the Journal of Nutrition links higher intake of vitamin K with a lower risk of dying from any cause over a median follow-up of 4.8 years.

Annual dietary questionnaire responses completed by the participants were analyzed for the intake of phylloquinone (vitamin K1) and menaquinone (vitamin K2). Over a 4.8 year median, there were 323 deaths, including 81 deaths from cardiovascular disease and 130 […]
