I’ve mentioned several times how getting older can affect your eye health. That’s why I’m interested in keeping your eyes, as well as the rest of you, healthy.  I’ve just learned of new research that sheds some light on a certain risk factor – especially for men – for developing cataracts.  I think you’ll be as surprised as I was to learn what this risk factor is… Men and Eye Disease:  Your Waistline May be The Culprit Think about it.  What would your life be like if your vision became so impaired that it stopped you living like you do now?

Super Nutrient Builds Muscle & Fights Arthritis

Getting older has certain physical challenges to your bones, muscles and joints.  I like to address these issues with my over-50 patients, and readers, to offer them constructive solutions to ensure that they stay strong, healthy, and active.  Most of you know that exercise is a key component to any healthy aging regimen.  But many of you don’t know that just making some simple nutritional adjustments will help you build muscle, fight osteoporosis and arthritis.  In fact, there’s one key nutrient that can do all 3 of those things and that’s what I’d like to tell you about here… Super […]

Doctors To Screen Patients For Obesity?

I’ve always counseled my patients about the need to keep a healthy weight. It not only makes you look and feel better but it decreases your risk for serious diseases.   Many doctors, though, have shied away from telling their patients that they need to lose weight. Why?

For another reason, some doctors feel that nutrition and weight loss counseling is […]

10 Tips to Live to 100!

One of my patients, I’ll call him Joe, is a younger-than-his years 72-year-old businessman.  I generally see him about once a year for his annual checkup.  When I ask how he’s doing, with a big, energetic smile he always answers, “1 year closer to 100!”  I smile back and tell him I’m counting on him to keep his promise.  That’s Joe’s goal – to live to “at least 100”.   I’ll bet he’s going to make it by the very slow rate he’s aging.  Maybe you’re wondering if you could live to 100. Well, I’m happy to tell you that the […]

Two Cups of This Improves Memory in 30 Days

I make a point to read a lot of research findings on many common foods and nutritional products that will boost heart health.  But, many people don’t know that your heart health is directly linked to your brain health.  As such, I came across the findings of a recent study that showed that a common food already found to boost heart health a few years ago is now being credited for improving brain health – specifically memory.  Let me tell you about it. The Heart Doctor’s Rx for Good Brain Health It’s generally accepted amongst doctors and medical researchers that […]
