How Do You Keep Your Brain Fit?

Having worked with people with dementia and traumatic brain injury, I teach my patients and their family members different ways to promote and assist memory.

Cognitive health is becoming more and more of a concern with all Americans.Keeping your social life intact, exercising, and challenging your brain are keys to maintaining your brain health. Crosswords, trivia, search- a-word, learning a new language, and reading - all of these are great ways to exercise your brain.

Nutritionally you may have read my posts on cholesterol-lowering medicine. I believe the lack of good cholesterol, which you need for your brain, may be contributing to dementia.

One study on Vitamin E reported that just providing 2000 IUs of Vitamin E to patients can increase brain function. Even people with dementia in this study demonstrated some improvement in thinking skills.

Products of choice for brain support. Here are two great neutraceuticals to help your brain:

SMART FX. DHA has been demonstrated to support both the best neural pathway function and cardiovascular health. This supplement was designed with omega-3 essential fatty acids to contain super concentrated DHA to give you some great brain food.

Renu IQ. This is a beverage which has the herb bacopa. Bacopa is believed to support memory and the anti-aging resveratrol is also in this drink. You can use this as a great drink to support your immune and cardiovascular health, memory and learning, concentration, mental alertness, and focus.

These products combined with a healthy daily supplement program, will help you live younger, longer.

Osteoarthritis Pain Relief: New Study Shows Condroitin May Help

A new study by the University Hospitals of Geneva and the University of Geneva School of Medicine published in the journal Arthritis and Rheumatism, shows that Chondrotin supplements may help your pain and stiffness for your osteoarthritis.

Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis. 1 in 8 adults in the U.S. are affected by it. It reduces quality of life and is a major cause of work disability. The major risk factors are body mass index (BMI) and age. All forms of arthritis and related conditions cost Americans nearly $128 billion each year in terms of lost productivity and wages, in medical care, and other expenses.

The study had 162 participants with hand osteoarthritis. They had a chondroitin sulfate supplement or a placebo every day for 6 months. The group that received the supplement reported at the end of the 6 months that there was a significant decrease in hand pain and in morning stiffness.

If you know my story, condroitin sulfate was really significant in changing my back and my way of life. I still use it daily as a single supplement and it is included in other supplements I take.

I know by personal experience that condroitin sulfate can be one of the essential treatments for osteoarthritis.

If you'd like to know more about how condroitin sulfate can change your life, feel free to contact me at bsate@youngevityonline.com

Is Your Child Getting Enough Vitamin D?

A new study says that your child is not getting enough Vitamin D, especially kids living in the Northern United States.


Our bodies manufacture Vitamin D from exposure to the sunlight. We start to synthesize the vitamin after about 15 minutes of good exposure to the sun.

Because of fears of skin cancer, lack of time outside, and increased use of sunblock, kids just aren't getting hardly any time in the sun.

Vitamin D is important in the growth of cells, immune function, muscle movement, and for growing healthy bones.

Foods with good sources of Vitamin D are tuna, salmon, orange juice, milk, yogurt, and eggs.

Kid's Toddy is a supplement designed just for growing children. With a great combination of vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, and amino acids and minerals, it also includes 200 IU of Vitamin D.

Do You Know How the FDA gets 1/3 of its Money?

There is a big controversy in the drug industry. The authorities who review drugs for the FDA are often advisors for the drug companies.

The FDA receives 1/3 of its funding from the manufacturers of medical devices and the makers of drugs.

Because the FDA is searching for an expert without a conflict to review a drug or device on their panels, there are often delays while they look for someone.

It has become so difficult to find a doctor not associated with a company that the FDA may relax their standards. An indirect tie with a company may be allowed.

If you would like to look after your health without worrying about all of the dangerous side effects of drugs, I'd be glad to help you.

What is a Polyphenol and How Can it Help Me Live Longer?

I love talking about ways to lower cholesterol that you normally wouldn't think of. I think we have a problem with the way we look at it.

Like Chicken Little crying, "The Sky is Falling," today we hear."Lower Your Cholesterol!" Instead of being the good little sheep that we are and say,"Okay," we need to be asking, "Which cholesterol?"

I know you've heard of good cholesterol and bad cholesterol. HDLs and LDLs. LDLs or low-density lipoproteins, our bad cholesterol can be lowered by improving our HDLs, the good cholesterol.

Now on to polyphenols! They have strong antioxidant properties. They can prevent cellullar damage. What's even better than that?

Chocolate has polyphenols called flavonoids which have been proven to lower blood pressure and balance your blood sugar level.

Candy can be healthy for me? Well, not any candy. Don't sugar yourself up on cheap chocolate candy bars. Dark chocolate contains the cocoa with all of those great polyphenols.

So what's a healthy way to get those polyphenols and chocolate?

Triple Treat Probiotic Chocolate - This is the Guilt-Free Chocolate designed by researchers today to taste good and be healthy.

Imagine a chocolate that is made up of dark chocolate, wild blueberries, and probiotics.

It can not only lift your mood, but help your body's stress levels, thinking skills, and optimize your immune system.This chocolate is also Kosher-certified.

My Munchies Refrigerator List

I wrote that I am putting a list on my frig of things that I can eat when I get hungry which are healthy to eat. Have you ever done the refirigerator stare? That's when you're hungry, you don't know what you want to eat, and you open the frig and stare at what's in there, wondering what you're going to eat.

That's why I came up with the list because you usually will make a bad choice just staring and not knowing what you want.

So, here's what's in or around my frig right now on my list:

Canteloupe and Honeydew melon cut up in a bowl (easy to snack on).

Apples.

Baby carrots.

Blueberries.

Greek yogurt.

Peaches.

Bananas.

Almonds.

Cashews.

Pistachios.

I found some mixed nuts that had the ones above in it. Can't find it now, but I can mix these if I want.

Ok, so that's it for now, but you get the picture. You're hungry. You have food, but get the munchies and don't know what to have. Look at your list and you'll find you have a lot of healthy alternatives.

No healthy alternatives? Go shopping. Strawberries. Natural peanut butter and celery. Avocados. Dark chocolate. There are a lot of healthy foods that are great to eat.

To Your Health,

Brian

7 Ways To Deal With Stress

We're all stressed. What are we stressed about? A survey said that we are stressed about the following:

Money. Work. The Economy. Family responsibilites. Relationships.

Are you letting stress create unhealthy behaviors like skipping a meal, eating unhealthy foods and/or overeating?

Are you lacking energy, fatigued, or irritable? All of these are signs of stress.

Stress affects our growth, reproduction, digestion, and immune response. Stressed too long, it affects our heart, weight, memory and thinking skills, and our sleep.

Here are the 7 Ways to Reduce Stress and 2 Important Helps:

Get regular exercise - take a walk, don't skip exercise because you can't "workout."

Eat a healthy diet. We just stopped by the produce stands on the highway to get fresh peaches, zucchini, and peas. I am starting a new habit of putting a list of good foods I can snack on on the fridge: baby carrots, apples, nuts, greek yogurt, etc.

Get proper rest - you can actually lose weight by helping your body get adequate sleep and rest.

Practice relaxation - yoga, meditation, mine is Spring Forest Chi Gong (ha - you can ask me about it).

Have a sense of humor - my wife always has a way to make me laugh. Laughter is the best medicine.

Nourish your relationships. Healthy relationships also translate into a healthy body.

The 2 additional helps for your body:

D-Stress from Supralife - Replenish your body with B complex vitamins, vitamin C, calcium, magnesium, and some extra great nutrients.

I'm excited to learn about some benefits from R-Garden:

EpiCor - This has a combo of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and antioxidants. It has been shown to support immune health. It's a great way to maintain health.

Tryptophan Formula - Many of us have heard of L-tryptophan. It converts to the neuro-transmitter serotonin, which is a precusor to the sleep hormone melatonin. A great natural way for healthy sleep.
