Prevent Age-Related Disease by Adding More Flavonoids

Type 2 diabetes is running rampant in the United States, if not the world, today, particularly in the Boomer population.  It’s one of the 4 diseases associated with aging and leads to the development of 2 of the others.  It’s caused by too much refined sugar and carbohydrates in the diet as well as lack of exercise.  In addition, deficiency in a certain food group, and its disease-fighting nutrients, can also lead to the development of type 2 diabetes as well as the other diseases of aging.

Historians acknowledge the ancient Greek philosopher, Hippocrates, as the father of medicine. He’s perhaps most remembered by naturopathic physicians for his famous quote, “Let food be thy medicine”. As we get further into the 21st century, it’s amazing that instead of creating more synthetic drugs to treat conditions, medical researchers are more and more looking at what Nature has already created that we’re not using. That’s why I want to tell you about this “new” treatment for building bone density, especially in older men. It’s actually been in most of our diets for ages but we’re just starting to learn […]
