The greatest gift you have as a human being is your intelligence… your “brain power.” Your ability to reason, to solve problems and, most important, to remember – is what makes you the individual that you are.

U.S. and Australian researchers say the cause of aging in mammals may be reversible and the key is the chemical NAD that facilitates cell communication.
When I talk to my patients about ways to protect their heart, and general health by eating more good fats and avoiding the bad fats – they’re often confused. One patient said, “Aren’t they all bad?” You can’t blame his response though, for the last few decades, “fat” in the diet has been blamed for everything from heart disease to cancer to many other conditions in-between. In the last several years though, health researchers have come to learn that all fats aren’t created equal. Not all are bad and, some are even good and necessary for your good health. So I’d like […]
Two flawed studies, a rehashed review, and an editorial published in the December 17th issue of the Annals of Internal Medicine have attempted to discredit the value of multivitamin supplements. Both of the studies were plagued by grievous methodological flaws. In one of the studies, subjects were given low-quality, low-potency multivitamin supplements. Treatment adherence rates and drop-out rates were horrendous in the studies. Nevertheless, mainstream sources are using these reprehensible studies to undermine dietary supplements. The first study examined the cognitive effects of low-potency multivitamin supplementation in aging male participants. Not surprisingly, the conclusions in the present analysis question the value of multivitamin benefits for cognition. In the other study, […]
Why do Americans enjoy a lower quality of life and health than people in most other high-income nations? The answer may lie in the foods we eat. In countries like the United Kingdom, average life expectancy is 81 years, and 97% of the people say they are satisfied with the quality of their water. Or in Australia — voted two years in a row by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development as “The Number #1 Happiest Country in the World” – life is better for its citizens. One would think it would be a national priority to make sure […]
Hair loss and thinning can occur as you get older, but it’s not really your age causing it – it’s more often the common nutritional deficiencies that can occur as you get older. And they can be remedied. Let me tell you how…
Americans spend more than $40 billion on weight loss per year, according to the PBS special report, “Diet Wars.” From low-carb to low-fat and beyond, we’ve become a culture obsessed with the diet. If it promises thin thighs, a taut tummy and an overall slimmer you, someone, somewhere, has probably tried it sometime in history. From the Cookie Diet to The Atkins Diet to South Beach, we are constantly re-inventing what and how we eat. A new survey of more than 500 registered dietitians revealed what consumers are and are not likely to be eating and what diet trends are […]
A startling 60 – 75% of the adult population in the United States is overweight or obese (American Heart Assc. 2012). Around the world, the prevalence of obesity has nearly doubled from 1980 to 2008 (Stevens 2012).
