America’s doctors are trained to treat disease with drugs.
But they are not trained in the most powerful tool for your health.

“I know from personal experience, Dr. Strand offers a priceless gift to improve quality and quantity of life.
Laser accurate, and scientifically documented, it will help you win the war against degenerative disease and premature aging.”

What’s the Secret to Getting Kids to Eat Veggies? Let Them Play First!
by Shannon Hall, Staff Writer | January 16, 2015 02:52pm ET

Left to their own devices, most kids will choose to gobble down ice cream or chocolate rather than broccoli or brussels sprouts. So, at school lunch, they’ll likely eat the yummiest items first and then drop the rest in the trash. But a new study finds that kids eat more fruits and vegetables when school recess takes place before lunch, rather than after.

“Recess is a pretty big deal to kids,” said lead researcher Joe Price, an associate professor in the Department of Economics at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. “If you’re going to make a kid choose between going to recess and eating their veggies, recess is going to win.”

The study, led by Price and David Just, director of the Cornell Center for Behavioral Economics in Child Nutrition Programs at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, looked at seven elementary schools in a Utah school district. Three of the schools switched recess to before lunch, while four schools continued to hold recess after lunch. For four days in the spring and nine days in the fall, the researchers measured how many fruits and vegetables each student ate during lunch. The three schools that made the switch, did so in the fall. [The Top 5 Benefits of Play]

In the schools that switched recess to before lunch, children ate 54 percent more fruits and vegetables than they did before the switch, the researchers found. Moreover, there was a 45 percent increase in the number of kids who ate at least one serving of fruits and vegetables a day. But in schools that kept recess after lunch, children actually ate fewer fruits and vegetables as the year went on.

Previous studies had attempted to encourage children to eat healthier by increasing the variety of fruits and vegetables available or providing small incentives for the kids to eat them. Although both methods worked relatively well, they can be costly, the scientists said. This new study shows that “it’s not just what’s on the tray that matters,” Price told Live Science. Rather, “by setting the scheduling right, you can have a big impact.”

Price also speculated that switching recess to before lunch helps kids build up an appetite immediately before they sit down to eat.

As an added bonus, the switch also reduced waste by roughly 40 percent, the researchers found. The results should be encouraging for most schools because “it means that you can end up with more items in the tummy rather than in the trash,” Price said.

The findings should also help parents get their kids to eat healthier, Price said. Parents who regularly sit down and eat with their kids for a specific amount of time may be more successful in getting their kids to eat well. However, parents who allow their children to run along as soon as they’ve finished dinner are less likely to encourage healthy eating habits.

In the future, Price and Just hope to study how to use digital media to advertise and encourage healthy eating at school. But for now, switching lunchtimes to after recess may just do the trick.

The findings will be published in February in the journal Preventive Medicine.

You probably heard it before: we are what we eat. But I like a more accurate
definition:
We are what we can get out of our food. Because it is the bio-availability
of the nutrients we take in and more importantly: the cell’s ability to absorb
those nutrients,that are the determent factors defining a person’s health
and well being.The nutrients have to be in a form that the cells can except them
and the cells have to be in optimum condition to be able to absorb the nutrients,
are the keys to successful nutrition. These are two often overlooked facts.

That’s why most supplements miss the mark. They don’t address the cellular
condition of the body. Worse, many are in a form that is unacceptable for
the cells themselves.They don’t contain biological available substances
that are useful to the cells in the body.They contain inorganic versions of
those nutrients, which the body can’t use.
There is however, one remarkable exception on this depressive trend and that
are the nutritional supplements,designed and manufactured by USANA Health Sciences.

To help you understand,I like to take you back to the basics.
Have you ever thought about where our body is made of?
The human body is built up of 100 trillion cells, each cell with his own DNA,
which contains a blue print of the entire body.

Today, life begins at conception.When the sperm of the male and the egg of the
female join together and a cell is formed.The single cell contains DNA,the blue
print of what the entire body will be like. Including the sex of the individual,
right down to the colour of the eyes.

It’s amazing when you realize what happens after the sperm and egg unite.
The original cell divides into two cells,each with there own DNA.
The two cells become four, the four eight, the eight 16, the 16 become 32 and
on and on these cells continue to multiply with an unbelievable speed for the
next eleven months. After 11 months, two months after birth, the body has his
full complement of cells.

Why are cells significant? Because they are the simplest living biological unit
in our body.They convert the nutrients we ingest into the energy we need and
determine the health of the body.
To slow down aging, limit sickness and prevent disease we must protect and
properly feed our cells.

There are 210 different types of cells. Red blood cells, white blood cells,
braincells, heart cells etc. The body’s organs and tissues are composed of cells.
Everything from our eyes to our hair is made up of an collection of cells.
One billion cells have to be replaced every hour,
that is 24 billion every day. Our skin is replaced every 27 days.
Every two months, every heart cell is replaced.

So, the question is: Will our new body be stronger or weaker than the old one.
This depends entirely upon the building materials we provide; that is:
the food we eat, the water we drink and the air we breath in.
The human body is a truly remarkable creature.
I like to tell you more about it in my next issue.
Until than: take care and God bless!

There are two common fitness goals – to gain muscle mass and to lose body fat.  Unfortunately, for the most part, the two goals are at opposite ends of the spectrum.

Building muscle mass is going to require you to take in a surplus of calories because, well, let’s face it, you can’t build muscle out of nothing (unless of course you have some chemical help going on).

Losing fat mass on the other hand is going to require you to be in a negative calorie balance because that is what will get your body burning off additional body fat as fuel for its tissues.

Striving to accomplish both goals at the same time is rarely a good approach because more than likely you will just end up spinning your wheels and getting nowhere.

Most weight lifters will have to accept some fat gain when they are looking to gain weight, however how much fat gain they need to add is question. It is this variable that we are hoping to influence.

Can you really gain weight without getting fat?

When adding muscle mass there are two approaches you can take.
Some take the approach of just eating as much food as they can possible cram into themselves. Their life suddenly becomes one long 24-hour buffet in their quest for muscle mass as they are under the thinking that the more food that goes in, the more muscle synthesis that will go on.

This thinking is heavily flawed. The body can only assimilate so much muscle tissue at once and after it has done so, any remaining calories are simply going to be stored as body fat. Plain and simple. You my friend, are no exception to the rule.

For those guys who are out there taking in five thousand or more calories per day, this is obviously going to be way more than they need and will result in a considerable amount of unwanted fat weight over a period of three to six months (how long most people will ‘bulk’ for).

The second option is to adopt a more moderate approach and only eat so many additional calories to support this muscle growth and that’s it. This will allow you to hopefully get as much lean tissue gained as possible without the accumulation of a monstrous rise in body fat.

So that leads us to the next question you’re probably wondering. How much muscle can you build? How many calories over maintenance should you be eating?

You’ve probably already heard of the guy who claims he’s added 20 pounds of muscle in the short time frame of six weeks.  While this may be a very rare occurrence among an individual who is brand new to weight lifting, has insanely good genetics and utilized an excellent training and nutritional program, the fact of the matter is that most guys are simply not going to be able to come even close to adding this much muscle tissue.

A natural trained individual can hope to achieve about half a pound to one pound of muscle per week – if he’s doing everything correctly.  If he doesn’t have the greatest genetics or isn’t feeding himself optimally, this will decrease even further.  So as you can see, at a measly two to four pounds of muscle growth per month, you aren’t going to be needed to eat insanely high calorie intakes.

The higher your intake is, the more you risk putting on additional body fat.  As a general rule, keep it to about 250 to 500 calories above maintenance in hopes of putting on mostly muscle without too much body fat.  Keep track of your current body fat levels and appearance and if you see that too much of your weight gain is coming on as fat mass, reduce your calorie intake slightly.

It is always best to go by REAL WORLD results since you are in the real world after all. You can read as much as you like as to how many calories you should be eating, but this does not mean that’s going to be the exact number that will produce results.  Different people have different metabolisms that will respond to an increase in calories in various ways. So as you go about your bulk, adjust according to the results you are getting.

Remember that the more patient you are with your muscle gains and the slower you go, the more time you can spend adding muscle mass and the less time you have to spend dieting off the additional fat you gained – which as I’m sure many of you already know, is not a pleasant experience.

So next time you decide you are going to do a ‘bulking’ phase, take a slower approach. Not only are you much more likely to maintain a favourable appearance this way but your mind will thank you as well.  Nothing kills confidence levels faster than seeing all muscle definition go out the window in a matter of weeks, so keep the weight gain under control so you don’t have to deal with this.

Testosterone levels is by far the most important muscle building factor in the body. Bodybuilders for decades have been trying to increase testosterone levels, be it artificially or naturally. Artificially it is done with the use of Steroids, but in this article we will discuss how to help maintain or increase testosterone levels through your own bodies natural production system. This article is mainly for men, although following the advices here can help women maintain healthy levels of testosterone and estrogen and other hormones, making them feel healthier and vibrant.

Ways to increase testosterone levels:
– High fat diet. Countless research has shown that fats help maintain and even increase testosterone levels. Omega-3’s, monounsaturated and even saturated fats in diet, have all shown to increase testosterone levels.

– Quality consistent sleep.
Your body can’t recuperate it’s hormone levels if you don’t get at least 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep. People who work swing shifts or change the times of day they sleep constantly, also throw their hormones out of balance.

– Long term dieting.
When you are in a calorie deficit, you release cortisol and lower your testosterone levels. It also lowers other hormones such as Thyroid. During dieting, people generally aren’t as healthy or energetic.
– Don’t over train. Excessive weight training and other exercise like cardio, eventually leads to a gradual build up cortisol and lowering of testosterone.

– Prescription / Over the counter drugs.
Find out if a prescription drug or over the counter drug interferes with testosterone or DHT. Some drugs for hair loss (Nizoral, proscar, etc), block or interfere with the conversion of testosterone to DHT and may cause side effects, since DHT is more responsible for masculinizing sex effects than testosterone in males.

– Zinc.
A few years ago, Zinc was shown to boost testosterone levels in football athletes, when taken together with Vitamin B6. This led to the ZMA craze among bodybuilders, which was a proprietary blend of Zinc and vitamin B6. Zinc prevents the conversion of testosterone to dht, helping to maintain healthy testosterone levels. It is also good for the prostate and if taken before bed, very helpful for getting a good deep sleep. Most people are deficient to some degree in zinc. You can supplement with extra zinc even beyond your multi-vitamin. Taking ZMA specifically is not necessary for the benefits of Zinc, as vitamin B6 only helps aid in Zinc’s absorption.

– 6-OXO.
A anti-estrogen supplement developed by the well known bodybuilding supplement chemist Patrick Arnold. Anti-estrogen supplements available on the market today help boost natural testosterone production, by lowering the estrogen in your body. They should be safe for those over 21, as long as it is for brief occasional cycles. Unlike steroids, they do not shut down testosterone production or create supraphysiological levels many times that of natural levels. Instead they increase testosterone levels to a level moderately higher than you normally would have. When you get off of anti-estrogens, your testosterone levels will decrease again as your body goes back to equilibrium.

-Warmer weather.
I’ve come across studies that showed that in the cooler months, men’s testosterone levels dropped. I’m sure there is a genetic basis for this, so living in warmer weather most of the year is an advantage for maintaining testosterone levels.

– Lower bodyfat %.
The higher your bodyfat % is, most likely the lower your testosterone levels will go. Your fat cells aromatize testosterone to estrogen instead of DHT. Estrogen in the body tends to decrease natural testosterone levels.

– Exercise regularly.
Exercise helps keep your testosterone and other hormones at healthy levels, just don’t over train.
I hope you learned from this article, how to effectively increase your testosterone levels. This is the list I’ve compiled after reading research studies and bodybuilding articles for years.

Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), long-known for its heart health benefits, has now been identified for its rapid destruction of cancer cells. While scientists have proven that the oleocanthal compound found in EVOO causes cell death in cancer cells, they have been unable to provide an explanation for this phenomenon until now. Paul Breslin, David Foster, and Onica LeGendre offer answers in their paper “(-)-Oleocanthal Rapidly and Selectively Induces Cancer Cell Death Via Lysosomal Membrane Permeabilization (LMP),” published in Molecular & Cellular Oncology.

In their recent study, the researchers discovered that the key to understanding the toxic effect of oleocantha in cancerous cells lies in its reaction with the lysosomes of the cell, where the cells store waste: the oleocantha ruptures the cancer cell lysosomes causing cell death within 30 minutes to an hour while leaving un-cancerous cells unharmed. This suggests that the lysosomal membranes of cancerous cells are weaker than those of uncancerous cells. Because of oleocantha’s targeted damage to cancer cells, it may prove an ideal option for therapeutic cancer treatment. Paul Breslin, co-author of the study, said “The mechanism of killing cancer cells and sparing healthy cells, lysosomal membrane permeabilization, has been hypothesized as a possible mechanism of effectively killing cancer cells and sparing healthy tissues but has never been realized before. Our realization of this makes this paper of particular therapeutic interest for cancer treatment.”

The study’s focus on the effect of oleocantha on cancerous and un-cancerous cells leads to larger implications about the health benefits of the Mediterranean diet, which is rich in EVOO. Breslin stated, “the Mediterranean diet is known to be associated with a reduced risk of many different kinds of cancer. Whereas the entire diet likely has many benefits, this study points directly to the olive oil phenolic, oleocanthal, as playing an especially important role in these observations. As more people turn to the Mediterranean diet as a healthy life option, oleocanthal is growing in its significance as a key active component of this diet.”

What is Acetyl L-Carnitine?

Studies have shown Acetyl-L-Carnitine can slow the progression of age-related mental decline and may be used to form neurotransmitters.

Acetyl-L-Carnitine is a carnitine derivative and an ammonium compound derived from the amino acid Lysine. Both Acetyl L-Carnitine and L-Carnitine are used by the body to transport long chain fatty acids to the mitochondria in your cells, where they are burned for energy. Since this fat burning is such a major source of muscular energy, deficiencies in either compound are manifested as low energy levels and muscular weakness. Acetyl-L-Carnitine deficiencies can also appear as mental confusion or cloudiness.

Health Benefits Of Acetyl L-Carnitine

Over the last decade, there has been an increase in studies of the aging mind. Many of these studies have shown that Acetyl-L-Carnitine can either slow the onset and progression of age-related mental decline or it may alleviate some of the symptoms associated with it.

Regarding age-related low mood, Acetyl-L-Carnitine seems to work in much the same way as it may with mental decline. Simply put, it may increase the levels of various neurotransmitters and thereby alleviate some of the symptoms of age-related low mood.

Acetyl-L-Carnitine may also be beneficial to both cardio function and nervous system decline which results from poor blood-sugar regulation.

The simple technique of ‘deep breathing’ can make a powerful
contribution to feeling good and being fit and well.

Our bodies need an abundance of physical and mental energy
to be able to function at their best.
The energy source is food,but food is useless without oxygen,
which is the key to our power. The more oxygen we deliver to
our cells, the more energy we will have.

Breathing is the way we obtain oxygen and the benefits of
periodic deep-breathing are enormous.
However, if our breathing is shallow, we cripple the functioning
of our systems.
When the oxygen supply to our lungs is not sufficient, it can
contribute to illnesses, both physical and mental.

Posture is important for proper breathing.
Most of us spend time bent over a desk or bench or walk and
stand with rounded shoulders. The chest is partially collapsed
and hardly moving.

People who have a stooped posture with shoulders hunched
forward, tend to breath using only the lower part of their chest,
which is called diaphragmatic breathing.
As a result, the rib-cage remain partially collapsed and loses
mobility, eventually making proper breathing virtually impossible.

If the lungs cannot pump a sufficient amount of air into the body,
the bloodstream will not be sufficient cleansed of its main
exhaust gas, which is carbon dioxide.
As a result, the blood returns with a mixture of oxygen and an
excessive level of acidic carbon dioxide: ‘exhaust fumes’.

If the body is short of oxygen it cannot function properly, including
digestion, assimilation of nutrients and elimination of wastes.
The accumulating wastes add to the congestion in the bloodstream,
increasing its acidity and further reducing its oxygen carrying
capacity and  thus a  vicious cycle is created.

As a result, the eliminative organs cannot cope with the level of
waste products and some will be discharged via the sweat glands
in the skin, producing body odour.
Other wastes may be discharged via heavy mucus secretion
in the nose, sinuses, bronchial tubes, lungs or digestive tract and
we will then say we have  cold, sinusitis, bronchitis, pneumonia,
gastritis or colitis respectively.

Lack of oxygen also means incomplete combustion of fuels:
carbohydrates and fat, leading to lethargy and a further
accumulation of acidic waste products,a  condition we call ‘toxaemia’.

Our brain, which requires much more oxygen to function properly
than the rest of our body, suffers first and thinking becomes sluggish
and unclear.

Shallow breathing can cause a range of emotional and physical
disorders and psychosomatic symptoms.
When we try to avoid feeling of emotional trauma, we hold our breath,
pause or breathe shallowly and this pattern of breath avoidance
becomes a habit.

The compromised respiration reinforces chronic tension , which
further suppresses full respiration.The results can be debilitating,
and emotional responses are becoming increasingly inhibited.
The body looses energy , organs and tissues are adversely affected
and our immune responses weaken.

From the physical point of view, shallow breathing does not deliver
an adequate change of air at the base of the lungs, where two-
thirds of lung capacity is located.
Through shallow breathing many people are starving themselves
of oxygen.
