According to the Framingham Heart Study, America’s best, shows that weight gain after adulthood causes a huge risk increase of all types of cardiovascular disease.
Even a 10% increase above ideal weight causes a 6-7% increase in blood pressure.
Losing that extra weight causes an immediate drop in blood pressure of 10-11%.

Women, carrying 50-60 lbs of extra weight are 700% more likely to develop hypertension.
Both men and women carrying 60 lbs extra or more have a 3000% more change of developing diabetes.

The result of a 20 year study by the American Cancer Society, involving over 1 million Americans 25 different states showed that men who are 40% overweight, have higher rates of prostate cancer, colon cancer and rectal cancer. Women who are 40% overweight, have higher rates of breast cancer, ovarian cancer, uterine cancer, gall bladder cancer, cervial cancer and endometrial cancer. Corpulent is sick indeed!

Overweight is a significant cause of almost all diseases.

Even moderate fatness damages the immune system and reduce your resistance to everything.
Overweight people going into surgery increase their risk of post-operation infections by up to 700%. Studies show that fat babies get twice as many infections as slim babies.

Moderately overweight folk show typical defensive reactions to the evidence that fat is sick. They suck in their stomachs and laughing proclaim:”This is just happy fat.”
Or they slam their plump thigh and exclaim:”God made me this way,healthy and comfortable.”

The latest study at the Harvest School of Public Health shows that even the mildly chunky die young.
Dr. I-min Lee tracked 19.297 healthy Harvard men who graduated between
1916 and 1950. Smokers were excluded as unacceptable health risk.
By 1988, 4370 of the men had died, mostly chunky. The less the men weighted, the lower their death risk. Men who were 20% below the average had the best change for a long and healthy life.

Body fat is by far America’s worst health risk, with 32.6 million Americans classified as overweight and about 40 million on the way. It causes more illness than all the environmental and nutrition problems, than smoking, alcohol and all other drugs put together. It’s infinitely worse than over-publicized AIDS.

Yet to the ignorant, overweight is little more than a good butt for humor.
it is sort of comical, that Americans waddle enough fat around to feed the whole of starving Africa and would gladly pay the shipping, but the disease it causes is no joke.

In September 2013, after I came back from a world trip,
I became terribly ill.
I was in intensive care for a week and I felt so bad that
I thought I was going to die.
Apparently, I picked up a virus along the way and it showed that my salt level was too low.
But amazingly, I recovered in less than ten days.
I didn’t expect that to happen and it even surprised my doctor.
I believe the USANA nutritionals have made my immune system
so strong, which caused my quick recovery from the virus.

Last a member of my church asked me how old I was.
I said: have a guess.
He thought I was about 56 years young. That made me feel very good, because that was 20 years younger than I really am,
all thanks to USANA and my healthy life style,
that make the difference in my life.

Many companies today falsely label their supplements “natural” for one raison:
because the word sells. But don’t get confused. The ingredients in vitamin pills
are about as natural as a plastic bag. Manufacturers play around this issue with statements like:”natural grown”, “natural source”, “food grown” etc. but to tell you
the truth, most pill ingredients are synthetic.
That means, they use natural materials and treat them with various chemical procedures, so that their resemblance to natural materials is gone.

For example, most vitamin C is made from corn.First the corn is chemically converted to
sugar (d-ribose). Then the sugar is chemically converted to pure,ascorbic acid.
There is not a molecule of corn left in it. The chemical processing makes it synthetic,
not the raw materials it came from.

Let’s look at “natural rose hip’ and “acerola” vitamin C. The best rose hip and acerola
powders contain only a few milligrams of vitamin C per gram.A 1000mg pil of natural
rose hip vitamin C would be about the seize of a baseball.
All these so-called “natural” pills are predominantly synthetic asorbic acid, with a pinch
of the natural powder thrown in for marketing.

Then there are those companies who claim that their pills are made of superior vitamins.
Let’s get this one straight too. Almost all  the vitamin raw materials in America come
from from a few large companies. offman La Rohe makes most of the vitamin C and many of the B-vitamins. Henkel makes most of the vitamin E. Almost all pill manufacturers buy
their bulk powders from the same sources that are available to everyone.

Elemental Minerals.
Most consumers don’t know that chemical forms of minerals are not elemental forms.
For example, a 1200 mg pill calcium gluconate is only 9% elemental.That means, it contans
only 108 mg of calcium. To get the RDA for calcium, you would have to swallow eleven of
these pills every day.

The same is true for every mineral.Calcium citrate is only 21% calcium and chromium
picolinate contains only 12.5% chromium. Magnesium aspartate is only 11% magnesium.
Some forms contain only 1-2% of the mineral element.Manufacurers are supposed to state the elemental amounts on the label, but many do not.

Chemical Forms.
Supplement pills only have to be true to label by law. That means, if the bottle says
the pill contains 300 mg of magnesium, that is all that is required. But many chemical
forms of nutrients are hardly bioavailable at all. They pass right through your
intestines without ever being absorbed.

Magnesium supplied as magnesium oxide for example, is only one-tenth as bioavailable
as magnesium aspartate. But the aspartate form is more expensive than the oxide and
takes up more room in the pill.Manufacturers save money by using the magnesium oxide.
They can also fit more magnesium into a given size pill by using the oxide, and therefore can put a bigger number for magnesium on the label. Consumers like big numbers.

Some manufacturers fudge bioavailability by claiming particular absorption rates, such
as 60%, for their multi-nutrient supplements. All such claims are false, because different
nutrients and different forms of the same nutrient are all absorbed at diffrent rates.
An average absorbtion rate is advertising nonsense.

For example, of a 100 mcg vitamin B12 tablet, only about 3% is absorbed, whereas
calcium acetate is 32% absorbed. To say the average absorption rate is 17.5% for the
two combined, tell you nothing about either.

This will give you an idea what you can expect when you look to buy supplements.
Many supplement contents are not true to the label,but there are only a few companies
on the market you can trust. One of them is USANA Health Sciences, founded by
Dr. Myron Wentz. Click here to get more information.

Zinc in the body may contribute to kidney stones
June 1, 2015 — New research on kidney stone formation reveals that zinc levels may contribute to kidney stone formation, a common urinary condition that can cause excruciating pain. The research found that zinc may … read more

We are constantly warned by commercials that our homes are full
of dangerous germs and they must be killed, resulting in the
addition of antiseptics in cleaning products.
But they can be more harmful than most of the germs they kill.

Cleaning products with the most fumes are generally the most
harmful, such as multi-purpose cleaners, disinfectants and
oven cleaners.

Use the proven safer cleaners, like pure soap or soap flakes
for washing dishes and clothes, or use environmentally-friendly
cleansers like Planet Ark, Nutrimetics, GNLD, Herbon or Tri Nature.

For cleaning windows, tubs and tiles, try vinegar and water.
For refrigerators, freezers, stainless steel, enamel, chrome and
laminex, use bicarb soda.

Solvents
These chemical products are used to dissolve other substances.
Many solvents can cause health problems, like brain damage,
birth defects, miscarriage, asthma and cancer.
Long term exposure can cause progressive loss of memory and
affect learning ability and decision making.
Some people with multiple chemical sensitivity and/or chronic
fatigue syndrome are affected badly by solvents.

A study at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Adelaide found a connection
between solvents and miscarriage. In fact the study found that
miscarriage is four times more likely  if the woman has been
involved in home renovation or has visited factories with high
chemical pollution and 2 to 3 times more likely if the male partner
has been exposed to strong glues, oven cleaners or oil-based paints.

Solvents are present in many household products, including
cleaning products,pesticides, liquid paper, marker pens,glues and paints.

Out gassing of volatile organic compounds.
Paints,plastics and particle boards in our homes can give off traces
of toxic gasses for months and even years.
This out gassing is worse in winter when heating is on and windows
are shut.

VOC’s out gas from large surface areas, painted walls, ceilings
and stained floors. Also from glued carpets, vinyls, shelves, furniture,
particle boards and plastics.

Make sure that the house is always well ventilated and use paints and
varnishes that don’t out gas.
For floors use timber, tile and linoleum that out gas very little.
Buy solid timber furniture.

Avoid sources of formaldehyde gas, a potent irritant that affects
the respiratory system and can cause asthma.
It evaporates from the glue in particle board, plywood, synthetic
carpets, upholstery and sometimes wallpaper and some paints.

Non fluid combustion heating.
When a gas, kerosene or wood heater doesn’t have a chimney,
it’s called non fluid. It results in pollution that is often far worse than
outdoors pollution.
The toxic fumes from these heaters can cause symptoms similar
to  throat infections and worsen sinus problems and asthma.

Reduce heating needs by dressing warmly and sleep with warm
bedding ( electric blanket) .
Use electrical or fluid combustion heating and leave off when
not required. Even better, design your house for solar heating.
Insulate the home with wool, cellulose or polyester.
If non fluid combustion heaters must be used, make sure of
adequate ventilation.

Dry-cleaning clothing.
Dry-cleaning uses powerful solvents, like perchlorethylene, an
organochlorine, which in extreme cases can damage the liver,
kidneys and central nervous system.

After bringing home clothes from the dry cleaner, leave them outside,
preferable in the sun for at least 24 hours.
Avoid synthetic clothing and wear natural fibers like wool, cotton,
linen, silk and mohair.

Fiberglass insulation.
Fiberglass can cause lung cancer in humans. Fibers with diameters
of less than 3 microns can reach the tiny air sacs in the lungs and
remain there indefinitely, with the risk of a form of cancer similar to
that caused by asbestos.

Every few years check the condition of the fiberglass.
Seek professional advice if the fiberglass crumbles to ‘powder’.

Lead exposure.
Lead is a heavy metal that can cause brain damage,specially in
children and during pregnancy.
The more common low-level poisoning can cause learning
difficulties, hyperactivity and less immunity to infections.

To avoid lead exposure, live well away from motor vehicle pollution,
if possible.Take off shoes if there is flaking old paint to avoid bringing
lead dust into the house. A hard floor is better than carpet.

Use a safe chemical stripper that emits less toxic fumes.
Have blood tests, especially for children, if you live near main roads
and if your home has flaking old paint.

Industrial chemicals.
Factories that manufacture or use toxic chemicals have the greatest
risk of exposure. What is known about the toxic effect has been
discovered by studying their effects on workers in such factories.
Avoid working in any industry that uses toxic chemicals.

Ensure adequate ventilation when toxic chemicals are present –
even for photocopiers and laser printers in offices.

We can make a difference by our everyday lifestyle choices,
because what we buy invents the future.
If we care about our personal health and the kind of planet we are
handing over to our children and grandchildren, it is worth to
contemplate about the things we purchase to create the type of world
we like to live in.
For example, if more people bought organic grown food,it would
become cheaper and the need for pesticides could be reduced.

It would be good to join a group of people, for example a multi level
marketing company or a lobby group which has the vision for
a healthier and happier future.

There is nothing more beneficial than a good nights sleep and there is a great physiological need for it if the individual likes to feel refreshed and
alert during the following day.
Sleep is also important for your memory and learning capacity and possibly for maintaining a good immune system. But there are still many unanswered questions regarding the function of sleep.

This is possibly best explained with the fact that people suffering from insomnia also suffer from reduced concentration, reduced menory and decreased ability to accomplish daily tasks.
They are also at greater risk for work related accidents and road accidents, many sick days, increased use of healthcare services and a lower perceived quality of life.

Insomnia is usually perceived as related to not getting enough sleep,which means that the person either has trouble falling or staying asleep.However, poor quality of sleep, whereby the sufferer wakes up feeling unrefreshed, even after sufficient hours spent sleeping, is a common complaint, especially
by  elderly people.

Melatonin is a naturally occuring hormone in the brain, manufactured by the pineal gland and secreted at night. It is quickly degraded, but by being continuously secreted all through the night, it acts like a sleep regulator and ‘signal of darkness’ in humans. However the natural production  of melatonin tends to decrease with age. specially in elderly suffering from insomnia, the production of melatonin is decreased compared to elderly with no sleep problems.

Research has proven that melatonin, when taken in small doses of 0.1 milligram, can decrease the effects of jetlag, like sleeping difficulties and tiredness. The pil has to be taken just before bed time on the place of destination and after arrival a few days, again just before going to bed.

Because melatonin is a natural product, it can be sold at the chemist in small concentrations of 0.1 milligram, which has hardly any affect. You can’t get adicted to melatonin and most people feel better during daytime.

Circadin, a sustained-release melatonin, is a new treatment paradigm in the management of primary insomnia in patients aged 55 years or over. A novel sleep drug, the first in a new class, Circadin provides natural sleep for patients with insomnia, offering an effective and save treatment for their
sleep difficulties because it improves sleep quality, with a far superior safety and tolerability profile.

However, according to the authorities, circadin doesn’t work  equally effective for everybody.
Circadin contains 2 milligram of melatonin. Sleep occurs quicker with improved quality of life and better fuctionality during daytime.

In the 20th century, uninformed medical bureaucrats, who controlled health care,
ignored Nature. They considered our dependence on the natural world as out-dated and
human science as all powerful.The result is strikingly before our eyes.
Man-made chemicals and technology have transformed our bodies and our environment into pools of decay.

Fortunately, most of these men are now prematurely old.T hey are dying off and being
replaced by better educated and therefore humbler scientists who realize that human
beings and their health are inextricably linked to the health of their environment
and the nutrients it provides.We are entering the most enlightend era in human history.
Medical science is finally accepting that Nature made all the locks and hold all the keys.

Miraculous Order
When we want to take advantage of this new science,we should first understand how tightly our body is locked into Nature. At the beginning, on the second day of creation,
in the Archean era 400 million years ego, a miraculous combination of gases produced
a few simple bacteria. According to the late physicist Dick Feynman,it could not have been a random event.

The best way to describe this phenomenon as a scientist is this: a hand of intelligence,
you can call it the hand of God,reached into the chaos and the precise order of life was born.

At that time the atmosphere of the earth was 98% carbon dioxide, plus a little methane and nitrogen. There was almost no oxygen. The Archean bacteria began to “breathe” the carbon dioxide and produce oxygen as a waste product, as plants still do today. They multiplied across the face of the earth. Over countless millennia, the carbon dioxide dwindled to its present fraction of 1% and the atmosphere grew oxygen rich to its
present 21%.

Human life became possible because of this abundance of oxygen, but as a consequence, it poisoned the atmosphere for the bacteria that made it.
They had to move to environments that are oxygen free. Today their progeny lie on in the oxygen free slime of river mud and in the darkest recesses of the human gut.

These bacteria, that eons ago laid the groundwork for the creation of man, continue to
support our life by their biological role in our intestines, together with about 40 other
species of bacteria, with a total weight of approximately equal of that of our brain.
Without them, we would degenerate and die. This prime example of our dependence on ancient creatures emphasize the precision of the design that binds together all life on Earth.

Natural Locks
We are locked into nature by a lot more than the oxygen ancient creatures created and their function in our gut.The shells of the bodies of ancient marine life grew the calcium
of our bones and then became the soils from which the plants and animals we use as food
now obtain their calcium. All the elements of our flesh have been precisely shaped and
refined in this way in the bodies of thousands of creatures before us.

The sulfur in the proteins that comprise half the dry weight of our body, is taken from
the soil by plants and washed into rivers by runoff.But why is it never depleted?
Because of a minute phytoplankton that blooms in uncountable profusion over thousands of square miles of oceans. Every day, Emiliana huxleyii produces millions
of tons of dimethyl sulfide, which rises in evaporation of the surface water of the seas and seeds the clouds with sulfer, which then precipitates on the land in rain.
Without this Emilana, most of mankind would sicken and die.

We can track the course of nutrients through the ocean, the air, the soil, the plants and
through our body and back into the ocean again. To the extent that this journey is
unpolluted by toxic compounds, and undisturbed by food processing, the nutrients themselves and the bodies that grow from them, remain healthy.
To the extent that we deplete the nutrients, foul the air, pollute the water, degrate the
soils and contaminate the oceans, then our bodies are depleted and contaminated also and pays the price in inevitable degeneration and disease.

So why do we even need Nutritional Supplements?
You’ve probably heard this all before, but did you know that most people don’t eat
the recommended daily amount of fruit and vegetables on a regular basis?

This means that most of us aren’t getting the right amount of vitamins and minerals
from our diet alone. The truth is, our busy lifestyles encourage us to choose meals
that are ‘quick and easy’ over those that are high in nutritional value.

Also, what most people don’t know is that our body is constant bombarded by
“free radicals”, from stress, pollution etc., causing oxidation in our body.
Like an apple turns brown from oxidation, so also our body, damaging our body cells.
This results in degenerative diseases.

To counteract this effect, we need lots of antioxidants, which we find mainly in our
fruit and vegetables. Unfortunately, because of modern farming techniques, and
soil depletion, this is not enough.

So we have to supplement our diet with high quality nutritional supplements,
which we can get from USANA Health Sciences.
They are bio-available. That means: our body cells absorb the nutrients for 100%.
They are potency guarantied and manufactured according to pharmaceutical standards.
