We have been told to take more of it, and there’s strong evidence that Omega 3 really is crucial for our brains, hearts and immune systems.

Moreover “Fish oil may really be an ‘elixir of youth’ because of its effects on our biological ageing,” says The Daily Telegraph.

The news is based on a study measuring heart patients’ levels of omega-3 fatty acids, which can be found in fish and supplement pills. Researchers then looked at sections of the patients’ DNA called telomeres, measuring the speed of naturally occuring changes associated with ageing. The results showed that there was an association between higher omega-3 levels and a reduction in the rate at which the patients’ telomeres shortened.

While this study may shed light on the possible actions of omega-3, it did not assess whether these changes affected the health or wellbeing of the participants. This was preliminary research, and further studies are needed to see whether omega-3 fatty acids have a direct effect on telomeres.

Everyone is recommending Omega-3 fish oil these days. If you are on a low fat diet you really need to learn about these healthy fats.

The White House has asked the USDA to update its Food Guide Pyramid to recommend omega-3 “healthy fats” from fish, fish oil and flaxseed oil.

More and more doctors are recommending these good fats too.

The new guidelines from the American Heart Association have also been updated and now focus on omega 3 fish oil.

The Diet Solution Program promises a complete and comprehensive weight loss program that will not only help you lose body fat, but guarantees you increased energy, health and vitality all at the same time.

With so many weight loss programs out on the market and on the internet today, what makes this program any different than all the rest?

Before we get to the program, let’s take a look at the expert program developer.  Isabel De Los Rios is a nutrition and exercise specialist with 10 years of experience helping clients reach their ideal weight and tackle conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and high cholesterol. Isabel has a very extensive educational background in nutrition and exercise physiology. Her personal experience with her own weight struggles and her mother’s severe diabetes led her search for the BEST nutrition information available today. The Diet Solution Program is a result of her 15 year study and research.

I’ve also talked to Isabel about her training and education background, and I’ll be honest, it was impressive, unlike other so-called “health experts”, who are just following main stream nutrition programs. Isabel provides her readers with the truth: the facts most people have never taken the time to research, read and decipher.

Plus, Isabel has been a nutrition and exercise specialist for the past 10 years and has personally worked with hundreds of clients in her own private facility, overseeing successful weight loss programs. This strong hands on experience with real people solidified the facts and principles she had learned in books, journals and from other health professionals. The proof was really in the results of real people.

In fact, Isabel’s articles are pretty radical when it comes to her nutrition principles which is why her approach works when main-stream nutrition fails. So if you are looking for the same old nutrition theories taught in every other book and program on the market today, this is not what the program provides.

Now one of the biggest questions about the program is simply, “What is The Diet Solution Program?” Well according to Isabel, it is the most comprehensive and detailed nutrition manual available on the market today. Not only does it teach you exactly what principles you need to follow to finally reach your ideal weight, it gives you the meal plans, shopping lists and recipes to do so. It does not push some extreme, unreasonable way to lose weight.and  it actually teaches you how you can easily change your lifestyle with this healthy way of eating. And if you have ever attempted to lose weight in the past, you know that the only way to maintain it is to make it a way of life. The best part about Isabel’s program is that this new way of life is not some torturous eating regimen. She really shows you that you can eat delicious food, combined the right way, to lose weight and maintain your target weight.

One of the best side effects of the whole program is the increased health and vitality that every participant experiences. Decreases in blood sugar levels, lowered cholesterol, increased energy, elimination of digestive discomfort and cleared skin conditions are just some of the few benefits other people have already experienced.

Now realize that some effort from you will be required, but Isabel has really done all the hard work for you. Included in her program is:

• Step by step action steps telling you exactly how to put the principles in place
• Detailed daily meal plans that make everyday eating easy
• Shopping Lists to make food shopping a snap
• Delicious Recipes to make everyday meals tasty

The manual is comprehensive. Jam packed with incredible and valuable information. But you don’t need to wait to get through the whole thing before you can start. You can use Isabel’s Quick Start Guide to start the program ASAP. Some people have even just used the quick start guide and lost 10-15lbs in a little as 6 weeks.

The Diet Solution Program is not just another weight loss scheme or extreme diet. It is truly a practical way to lose weight and enjoy a lifetime of health. The Diet Solution Program is perfect for people who have struggled with their weight their whole life and are sick and tired of programs that just don’t work long term. The DSP is also perfect for people who want to take control of their health and reverse health conditions like diabetes, high cholesterol and heart disease.

If you’re in the slightest bit curious, I recommend you look closely at Isabel’s program. I was very impressed with all of The Diet Solution Program meal plans, the bonuses, the guarantee, and Isabel’s expertise. For the money, it’s the best deal in the weight loss industry – so much better than diet pills! And remember…

Isabel De Los Rios’s The Diet Solution Program is backed by a 90 day money back guarantee. And this is a real guarantee… if you are not completely satisfied, you will receive your money back, no “ifs,” “ands,” or “buts.” So you really have nothing to lose.

I have recently read a report by HSI Daily Health about the benefic effects of COQ10 supplementation.

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), a vitamin-like substance that your body makes naturally . . .

■ Rescues distressed cells and DNA, in your organs, bones, skin, hair and eyes…

■ Rejuvenates lungs, livers, hearts and minds, and…

■ Revs up every muscle in your body!

No other substance supercharges your cells and helps prevent and reverse heart problems… high blood pressure… blocked arteries… nerve damage… brain cell deterioration… abnormal cell growth… breathing problems… gum disease… muscle wasting… blood sugar imbalance… skin damage… headaches… obesity… infertility… and that’s just for starters!

Over 1,000 research papers, 39 placebo-controlled studies, by more than 200 scientists and researchers from 18 countries around the world all agree on ONE thing… when your CoQ10 levels are low, you’re much more prone to accelerated ageing, disease and deterioration.

Of course, any substance that neutralises free radicals, prevents cholesterol from oxidation, plus stops tissue attack in your brain, heart, lungs, liver and joints, would be a Godsend – and it could rewrite your destiny, Right?

Well, there are several nutritional contenders for this crown but none more worthy than CoQ10. Not only is it one of the most powerful anti-oxidant “rust proofers” known to science, it performs a second vital role.It’s “the spark of life” itself!

The problem is aging, ill health and poor diet crater your body’s production. And by your 80th birthday you’re making 65 percent less than you used to – remember a 75 percent reduction can spell death!

And if that’s not shocking enough, the very solution to heart disease pushed by mainstream medicine – cholesterol lowering drugs – can actually deplete your body even further of this HEART CRITICAL nutrient!

A COQ10 supplement can therefore be very useful.

Some books on COQ10 can be found below:

I read recently an interesting article at http://www.theloseweightdiet.com/weight-loss-supplements.html which discusses this subject and I want to summarize the main point.

The best and safer supplements for weight loss are the following:

a) Fish Oil. You know how there’s “good” fat and “bad” fat? Well, fish oil contains the omega 3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), which are the VERY BEST fats. The omega 3 fatty acids found in fish oil have been scientifically proven to reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes, lower blood pressure, decrease inflammation and joint stiffness, and treat various mood disorders. Fish oil has also been shown to either help improve or prevent Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, depression, heart disease, cancer, arthritis, diabetes, hyperactivity, ADHD and more. It will also help your body to lose fat, build & maintain muscle, recover from exercise, etc. just a little bit better. It also provides It also provides an improved insulin sensitivity and calorie partitioning (meaning calories would be more likely to be used for something useful rather than get stored on your body as fat).

b) Protein Powder. It is useful for weight loss because it is satiating and is also a requirement for maintaining muscle. Your goal might be “weight” loss, but it’s really fat that you’re looking to lose, not muscle. Ensuring you eat enough protein each day is key in preventing muscle loss. While you should get the majority of your protein intake from high protein foods (chicken, fish, turkey, lean meats, egg whites, etc.), protein powder is a quick, simple, convenient way to ensure you get enough protein each day.

c) Multivitamin. t sort of works as your diet’s backup plan. That’s exactly why I take one. My diet is quite good. I eat better and healthier than most of the population. But, I still love the idea of taking a multivitamin each day to serve as my little nutrition insurance policy making sure my body gets everything it needs everyday. In order to lose weight, we need to be alive, healthy and functioning properly. If a multivitamin contains the things our bodies need to help make this happen, then it indirectly helps make weight loss happen.

I have read an interesting article with the title Complete Guide to Lowering Blood Sugar Levels Naturally and I summarize its main points below:

a) Yes, you can lower your blood sugar levels naturally and we’ll show you exactly how in this complete guide to lowering glucose levels.

b) Pre-diabetics have a fasting glucose range of 100-125 mg/dL. Anything above 125 is considered diabetic. Type I diabetics must take insulin on a daily basis, whereas type II diabetics must just normalize their blood sugar levels. Both can benefit from this information by applying these strategies.

c) Your diabetic diet is the most important ingredient to lowering your blood sugars levels naturally. Foods that pass through your system quickly should be avoided and foods that take longer to digest are most beneficial to keeping your blood sugars in check. This all relates to the low-glycemic food group like: granola, oatmeal, beans, peas, and peanuts to name just a few.

d) Do daily exercises. You can be a thin diabetic, large diabetic or medium build diabetic, that doesn’t matter. What matters is the oxygen exchange rate as well as muscle stimulus. Common exercises that you might not even be aware of is: mowing the lawn, raking leaves, vacuum the house, dusting. The obvious choices of joining a gym, riding a bike or walking are excellent avenues to pursue.

e) Drink water and all I need to say is this: it will help flush out toxins quickly and it’s vital to all living cells of your body.

f) nutritional supplements have shown they can help you lower your blood sugar levels. A lot of people have reduced their insulin levels and others have been able to take themselves off the “endangered list” or pre-diabetic list by using supplements.

g) herbs are another great resource for helping you lowering your glucose levels. Some of the more popular ones are: cinnamon, coffee berry, garlic and ginko biloba to name just a few.

h) Yippee for vinegar. We all know that white rice and bread can really jump up our blood sugar levels but did you know vinegar will help you keep that in check? Arizona researchers found that two tablespoons of vinegar before a starchy meal can reduce the blood glucose levels in your blood.

i) learn how to say: “decaf please”. Tea’s and coffee’s are staples of many societies and the healthy choice is green tea unsweetened or decaf coffee.

They offer also a nice video:

According to Wukipedia “Curcumin is the principal curcuminoid of the popular Indian spice turmeric, which is a member of the ginger family (Zingiberaceae)”.

The curcuminoids are polyphenols and are responsible for the yellow color of turmeric which an ingredient of curries.

Turmeric is an ancient spice and a traditional remedy. Its health benefits have been described for over 5000 years and an ancient Assyrian medical book dated 600 BC, reveals that a plant with yellow leaves called Curcuma longa is an effective, all-round ‘medicinal miracle. Since 1900 BC numerous therapeutic activities have been assigned to turmeric for a wide variety of diseases and conditions, including those of the skin, pulmonary, and gastro-intestinal systems, aches, pains, wounds and disorders. Marco Polo, writing of his travels in China, described Turmeric in the 13th century.

The Curcumin anti- inflammatory properties have been found to be so effective that curcumin tumeric is now recognised in many research papers as a powerful remedy for treating medical condition such as;

• Candida Infection
• Alzheimer’s disease and Dementia
• Weight Reduction
• Arthritis, including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, painful joints
  and gout

It should also be mentioned that independent research studies have found anti-cancer properties of turmeric and suggest that Curcumin has the potential for treatment of five top cancers in the U.S. — colon, breast, prostate, lung and skin.

An interesting publication which mentions the use of curcumin supplements to reduce arthritis has been reported by HSI – Daily Health. If you are interested you can request the daily news from:

Patrick Holford is a British nutritionist, author, and the founder and director of the Institute for Optimum Nutrition in London. He is the Chief Executive Officer and co-founder (with Professor André Tylee of the Institute of Psychiatry) of the special interest group that developed into Food for the Brain Foundation, a registered charity which has the stated aim of promoting mental health through nutrition. He is also director of the Brain Bio Centre, which specializes in a nutrition-based approach to mental health problems. He appears regularly on television and radio in the UK.

You will find below a list of good titles on Nutrition:

Many of the signs of ageing just make us feel old – greying hair, deepening ‘laughter lines,’ mild forgetfulness. But without question, one of the most debilitating – and daunting – conditions we face as we get older is age-related macular degeneration or AMD, the leading cause of vision loss and blindness for those 65 and older.

The fear and helplessness associated with deteriorating vision is something that too many of us have had to face. Now a recent study is providing some hope, along with a protocol that may halt or slow AMD’s progression.

The disease is just as the name suggests: the degeneration of the macula, which is the centre part of the retina. The macula is responsible for fine, detailed vision, and as it deteriorates, your field of vision narrows until you can’t see anything at all. This usually happens gradually, maybe taking many years before reaching total blindness. But for those who have it, it can be a frightening path to follow – particularly since mainstream medicine offers virtually no way to halt it.

Needing glasses or bifocals doesn’t mean that you have AMD, or that you’re at a greater risk of developing it. In some ways, however, it may actually help you, because a regular check up with your optician will include an AMD screening. Up until now, early detection hasn’t helped much, since doctors had little to recommend. But research is revealing some hope for those who have been diagnosed with AMD.

The study, which was published in the Archives of Ophthalmology, showed that a regular supplement programme that includes antioxidants and zinc can reduce the progression of AMD by as much as 25 per cent. The study specifically monitored people who already showed signs of AMD, and found evidence that this combination of supplements can stop or slow the path of this disease.This is not exactly a ‘discovery’ in alternative medicine circles. Forward-thinking doctors have been talking about the relationship between nutrition and vision for years. But this is the first time that a large scale, randomised, placebo-controlled clinical trial in a mainstream medical journal has supported the theory. It’s a big step in support of supplements – and a big step forward in ophthalmology.

Here are the details: the Age-Related Eye Disease Study (called AREDS for short) began enrolling participants in November of 1992, and continued recruiting until January of 1998.

The resulting 3,597 participants were tracked until the study ended in April 2001. On average, the participants were studied for 6.3 years, with vision exams every six months while they participated in the study. All of the participants were between the ages of 55 and 80, and were equally divided between men and women.

The group was divided into categories depending on the state of their vision at baseline (for example, Category 4 patients already had AMD at the beginning of the study, while Category 2 patients showed only borderline AMD characteristics).

All categories were randomly assigned one of the following regimens: daily supplementation with antioxidants (500 mg vitamin C, 400 IUs of vitamin E, 15 mg beta carotene); daily supplementation with zinc (80 mg of zinc oxide and 2 mg of cupric oxide); a combination of both antioxidants and zinc at the prescribed dosages; or placebo.

To measure the effects of the supplements, the researchers compared AMD progression among each of the four groups. When compared with people in the placebo group, the antioxidant group had a 17 per cent lower incidence of AMD progression. Folks in the zinc group reduced their risk an impressive 21 per cent. But those who took antioxidants AND zinc lowered their risk a full 25 per cent.

The study didn’t assess the supplements ability to prevent the development of AMD in the first place. But there’s reason to believe that it could help, and for most people, there’s little risk in following the study’s supplement plan.

All of these supplements are very safe at the dosages used in the study; you may even already be taking some of them to address other issues. You should talk to your doctor before starting any supplementation programme, but for most people, this combination of antioxidants and zinc is an easy, relatively inexpensive way to fight off AMD and retain your sight.

At HSI, we’ve been telling you about the healing benefits of supplements for years. I’m glad that mainstream medicine is finally starting to catch up – but they’ve still got a long way to go. And regardless of this research, I doubt that many ophthalmologists will be recommending supplements to their patients any time soon.

Often, it takes time for change to trickle down to individual doctors – and if you’re at risk of AMD, time is not something you have to waste.
