New Study: Vitamins Alter Aging The next time you hear some nay-saying doctor claiming that there is no evidence that vitamins actually do anything show him this: A new study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that multivitamins can keep you younger, longer. The study found that those who took a multivitamin daily had 5.1 percent longer telomeres than non-users. Telomeres are the key to aging. And it’s not just your life span that’s affected… Short telomeres dramatically boost your risk of serious diseases. One study of 60 to 75 year olds showed those with short telomeres had a 300% higher death rate from heart disease and an 800% higher death rate from infectious diseases. Discover how you can lengthen your telomeres and live better longer. |
The
New Nutrition - Dr Michael Colgan
Dr Colgan shows that the food
and water supplies in the United States and dependence upon drugs to
maintain health have caused our nation-wide health crisis that can be
directly measured the United
States ranking
20th out of 26 developed countries around the
world (Amer. Journal
of Clinical Nutrition http://www.ajcn.org/cgi/reprint/55/6/1196S)
after ranking 10th in 1950. Degraded Food SupplyThe author explains that the
decline of our health begins
with our deteriorating food supply. Our
foods today are overloaded in fat, sugar and salt to lower the cost of
production and preservation and to compensate for the loss in taste of
foods
depleted of nutrients. Foods
have been
stripped of nutrients by commercial farming dependence on nitrogen,
phosphorous
and potassium, which grow fine-looking crops with high yields but few
of the
essential minerals like selenium, Chromium, calcium, magnesium, iron,
copper,
iodine, molybdenum, zinc, cobalt, boron and vanadium because the soils
have not
been replenished with these minerals.
Our food supply has been further degraded by
mass-production methods of
ripening, storing, drying, blanching, pasteurization, hydrogenation,
ultra-filtration and multiple other practices of modern food processing
as well
as contaminated with pesticides. He continues with revelations
that livestock and poultry are
so sickly that half of the antibiotics produced in America are fed
routinely to
these animals and passed on to people eating commercially grown meat. Of course the
food-poisoning bacteria like
salmonella are becoming resistant to these antibiotics and killing
thousands of
Americans each year and making millions of others sick.
Fish and shellfish are also a sad story with
investigations finding spoiling fish and clams in supermarkets
contaminated
with bacteria from feces, mercury, lead and arsenic.

The Antioxidant Miracle - Lester Packer and Carol ColmanThis is the best book written about antioxidants, how they work and what they do for people that take them. Dr. Lester Packer is the world’s foremost antioxidant research scientist. He explains that antioxidants are a family of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients that help us live longer, healthier lives preventing to occurrence of disease and illness and slowing the aging process that numbs the mind and wrinkles the skin. An impressive feature of this book are the dozen’s and dozens of studies discussed that prove the benefits of each antioxidant and the references in the appendices for follow-up verification by the reader. There are hundreds of antioxidants and Dr. Packer identifies the many of them, what foods we must eat to consume them, and the Packer Plan for supplement regimen to achieve optimal health.Antioxidants were given this name by food chemists who discovered these vitamins protected food from oxidization process that caused food to spoil. Antioxidants improve our health and extend our lifetimes by preventing unstable molecules called free radicals from damaging our body’s cell structures. Free radicals are products of the normal course of cellular energy production, but are also caused by certain chemicals, smoke, pollutants and radiation. We need antioxidants fight to these free radicals which, if not neutralized, cause or aggravate cancers, heart disease, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, diabetes arthritis and other illnesses and accelerate the aging process in our bodies. The Network AntioxidantsDr. Packer calls five key anti-oxidants vitamins C and E, Co Q10, lipoic acid (alpha lipoic acid) and glutathione, the Network Antioxidants, because they have special powers to regenerate each other after neutralizing free radicals. When an antioxidant meets a free radical, it engulfs the free radical neutralizing its power to damage cells, but in the process the antioxidant becomes a weak free radical itself and unable to fight more free radicals. However, another network antioxidant can regenerate the weaken antioxidant so it can once again neutralize another free radical. Vitamins C and Co Q10 are fat soluble working in cell membrances, Vitamins C and glutathione are water soluble traveling in the blood to cell internal sap and lipoic acid functions in both zones and is the only network antioxidant that can regenerate glutathione. Glutathione is the most abundant antioxidant in the body and must be maintained because low levels often causes illness and when glutathione levels are extremely low, death usually occurs.Separate Antioxidant TopicsDr. Packer provides separate chapters discussing and providing the specific benefits of:• Lipoic Acid • Vitamin E • Vitamin C • Coenzyme Q10 • Glutathione • The Flavonoids including Ginkgo Biloba and Pycnogenol • Carotenoids including Alpha Carotene, Cryptoxanthin, Lutein, Lycopene, and Zeaxanthin • Selenium Dr. Packer then provides the chapter titled “An Antioxidant Feast: Food is Powerful Medicine” in which he identifies the fruits and vegetables that present the best sources of antioxidants. He recommends eating seven to ten servings of these antioxidant-rich foods every day. Dr. Packer says there is no substitute for a healthy-well balanced diet. Supplements can help enhance the health benefits of food, but they cannot do the job alone. The Packer PlanDr. Packer presents the Packer Plan for supplementation regimen. He provides a supplement regimen for the morning and the evening along with special instructions for selecting the best supplement products. He also provides additional suggestions for the special needs of Smokers, Diabetics, Athletes, Menopausal Women, People with High Risk of Cancer, People with High Risk of Cardiovascular Disease and Picky Eaters. Dr. Packer also provides a chapter titled Antioxidants for Healthy Beautiful Skin providing antioxidant crèmes and gels for protecting and nourishing the skin.Dr. Lester Packer has published over 700 scientific papers and 70 books on every aspect of antioxidants and health, including the standard references "Vitamin E in Health and Disease", "Vitamin C in Health and Disease", "The Handbook of Natural Antioxidants" and "Understanding the Process of Aging: The Roles of Mitochondria, Free Radicals, and Antioxidants". |
