Resveratrol can be referred to as substance which is naturally created by many plants as part of the organic defenses–to safeguard them from the outcomes linked with overcrowding, extreme weather and attacks from bugs and disease. Resveratrol exhibits a powerful antioxidant action within animals and for these benefits, Resveratrol is included in AIO- a nutritional supplement drink.

Several tests demonstrating the health advantages of reasonable dark- red wine consumption started the study on the benefits of resveratrol about ten years back. Red wine is different from white wines in that it’s fermented using the grape skins (which contain resveratrol). After fermentation the resveratrol is also in the completed red wine. Red wine also makes better gravy- perhaps not a key health issue, but certainly something worth noting. :-))

Current research on animals demonstrates resveratrol can significantly increase expected life, boost stamina, and imitate the medical advantages of a calorie limited eating plan. Also, resveratrol is an effective antioxidant that can help lessen inflammation and heart disease. In a nutshell, resveratrol is very valuable!

Reseratrol is a natural anti-diabetic compound and helps maintain glucose levels and increase insulin sensitivity. It could help reduce dependencies on medications for some people.

Many research studies have found it to increase testosterone production. For athletes this a natural and healthy aid to gain muscle. By raising the body’s own production of testosterone, muscle strength, mass, and recovery from physical exercise is improved.

Resveratrol can be used in pill form and has a seventy percent assimilation rate. This is much higher than many other supplemented nutritional vitamins and minerals. Studies have found that when taken with meals the total absorption is improved. It is suggested to take 250 mg of Resveratrol, three times a day.

Cardio Vascular Disease and Some of its Causes

Cardiovascular disorder is a general term given to describe a wide range of conditions affecting the heart and blood vessels. There are two main groups of risk factors. The first are those risk factors that can’t be changed, such family history or gender.

The second category of risk factors are those than can be affected by your choices and behaviours and include things like, obesity, high blood pressure, smoking, high cholesterol, lack of exercise and adult onset diabetes. This is the more dangerous group of risk factors and will more often result in heart problems. However by modifying or eliminating these risks, we have the ability to reduce the chance of being afflicted with cardio vascular diseases.

The list of cardio vascular diseases includes rheumatic heart sickness, irregular heartbeat, stroke, heart attack, high blood pressure and congenital heart failure. As far as age is concerned, the majority of people in high risk groups are between 35 and 64 years old. That is an age range that’s younger than I would have expected, but then heart disease is a leading cause of death in America.

Due to the life style of many Americans the death rate will be even worse in the years to come, unless individuals are prepared to make some fairly drastic changes in the way they live. The high obesity rate in the United States in youngsters as well as adults is staggering. The stresses of high pressure urban life also contribute to the incidences of high blood pressure. Type II adult onset diabetes is no longer just an adult ailment, but also now a disease appearing among adolescents. Once again, looking for causes, the finger is pointed directly at obesity.

There is hope for reducing the incidence of heart disease. More information is available to the public about the high stakes involved in modifying the risk factors before a diagnosis of cardiovascular disease is made. But, the problem can be hidden until it is too late. A routine annual physical with your health care provider is a good step to take and an easy one. Listen to what you’re told about your personal risk factors. But honestly, your health is in your own hands. No one needs to be told if they’re overweight or inactive, but it seems that many people need a bit of a kick now and then to take the steps necessary to fix the problem.

Wellness Benefits of MSM

Sulfur is usually found in vegetables, fruits, grains, and milk products. It is the 3rd most plentiful mineral in the human body. Concentrations are best through infancy and decrease with age. MSM is an natural compound including 34 percent sulfur.

Sulfur is employed in the production of proteins, including those required for forming muscles, hair, and the dermis. It is observed in teeth, bones, and collagen (which can make up connective tissues). MSM seems to be handy for discomfort aid, irritation, and supporting joint wellbeing. MSM also exhibits anti-oxidant properties. Study has shown MSM to have no side effects when used as directed.

Dr. Stanley Jacob states in his book, “The Miracle of MSM”, that primarily based on clinical knowledge MSM has been shown to be an effective pain reliever in about 70 percent of the cases.

Using MSM for Pain Relief
Are you plagued with discomfort? A poll conducted by ABC News, USA Today, and Stanford Medicalrevealed that around half of U.S. residents experience continual or recurrent pain. There are many options for pain relief.

Virtually each and every adult experiences some type of discomfort from time to time. Generally, persistent pain is described as pain that lasts much more than three months and recurrent discomfort comes and goes. Acute discomfort is pain that is short term or damage connected . The people today in the survey categorized their discomfort as follows: acute – 44 %, recurrent – 34 %, and chronic – 19 %.

Of the individuals encountering pain, just about fifty percent didn’t know what caused it. When questioned concerning the effect their discomfort had on everyday activities, 43 percent indicated it impacted their disposition and 39 % indicated it hindered sleep.

The remedies people utilized to relieve their pain varied greatly. Over 50 percent (63 %) indicated they had consulted a health care professional concerning their discomfort. Of those, only 59 percent felt they had received any substantial pain reduction as a outcome of the visit. One more fascinating aspect that came out of the study was the techniques individuals used for discomfort reduction. Here’s a listing of the top aid approaches:

• over-the-counter drugs – 84%
• household remedies – 81%
• prescription medications – 60%
• bed rest – 58%
• prayer – 58%
• chiropractic – 28%
• therapeutic massage – 28%

For the people that applied doctor prescribed prescription drugs, 19 percent indicated they took them every day. For over-the-counter drugs, 33 % applied them day-to-day or at the very least once a week.

In 1997, Dr. Norman J. Marcus, director of the New York Pain Remedy Program authored a document in which he stated that pain had arrived at epidemic proportions in America. In this article, Dr Marcus states, too manypeople endure from a type of pain every single 12 months, costing a substantial toll on their productiveness in the workplace and their capability to take care of their tasks at home.

Billions of dollars are spent just about every calendar year on health professional prescribed and over-the-counter medication. But medications don’t treatment disease, they basically treat signs or symptoms as a substitute for approaching the fundamental reason of the pain. When you get a headache, it is not because you have an aspirin deficiency. Many of the medications recommended nowadays have significant side effects.. For instance, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medicines are generally employed to decrease osteoarthritis pain, but they additionally tend to deteriorate joint tissue. A number of medication may have worth for healing injuries and acute illness, but they are nevertheless biochemical outsiders to the body and have a tendency to deplete nutrients, like vitamins and minerals. On the other hand, well known supplements like Glucosamine and Chondroitin can assist with the improvement of joint mobility and pain relief without the usual list of side effects.

In non-injury cases, discomfort commonly indicates that one or more of the entire body’s systems are out of stability. Figuring out the trigger(s) for the imbalance and correcting it with the right nutrition (including all-natural supplements), exercise, relaxation, and life-style changes can supply a much better long-term solution. Onesupplement that can perform an critical role in helping to deliver the physique back into stability is Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM).

Camu-Camu – Have you ever heard of this?

Are you looking for superior antioxidant foods?

In the Amazonian flood plains between Brazil and Peru lives a shrubby tree – Myrciaria dubia- usually called Camu-Camu. When the pleasant smelling , waxy white flowers fall to the ground, it grows small purple-red colored fruit similar in appearance to a cherry. Among herbalists, camu-camu is valued for its astringent, antioxidant, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, analgesic and emollient and nutritional characteristics. As if that isn’t enough, it’s also a source of protein, phosphorus, iron, niacin, thiamin riboflavin, beta-carotene, calcium, and 3 amino acids. It is an abundant source of flavinoids.

Those who take Camu-camu because of its vitamin C have found that just one to two grams of this natural source is a better immune system supporter than mega doses of commercial synthetic products. Camu-camu is around two to three percent Vitamin C based on the fresh weight and that’s an unusually high concentration and testifies to its antioxidant food value. And antioxidants are vital when it comes to my 2 other favorite “antis” antiaging and anti-inflammatories .

Camu-camu is currently being researched to assess its emotion balancing properties. As appearing in the Clinician’s Handbook of Natural Healing (1998) – Gary Null, Ph.D. Camu-camu is second in terms of its potential mood balancing properties. While these connections have not been completely researched, it seems that Camu-camu could offer a nutritional boost to the brain’s own manufacturing of mood balancing chemicals. Additionally, research has been published linking vitamin C with a higher level of serotonin.

Dr Mike Adams, (who’s called the Health Ranger) said this about Camu-Camu:
“I’ll tell you a secret about Camu. Camu-camu is the highest natural source of vitamin C in the world. And it’s not just ascorbic acid, it’s the full symphony of protective antioxidants. My research, based in part of the works of Dr. James Duke, leads me to the conclusion that camu-camu crosses the blood-brain barrier and offers extraordinary protection to the nervous system. There is no question in my mind that this product can drastically reduce eye disorders, including macular degeneration, as well as protect the brain and nervous system from degenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and dementia.”

Camu-camu is just one of the natural antioxidant foods found in AIO- Premium Cellular Health.

What are Digestive Enzymes?

By Lorraine C | February 1, 2012 - 3:31 pm |November 9, 2012 General Health Information, Immune System, Improved Digestion, Natural Health

Enzymes are all complex molecules that support every chemical reaction that happens in the human body. Digestive and Metabolic are the 2 major groups of enzymes. The Metabolic enzymes support you body functions and digestive enzymes reduce big food molecules into small, more easily useable components. Food originally has all the enzymes needed to aid the digestive process so that your body doesn’t need to do all the work. But when we cook, refine or process food, all of the enzymes are destroyed.

Our digestive system’s role is to extract and absorb the necessary nutrients contained in our food. However, a diet of cooked food means that we need to get enzymes from the pancreas, liver and other organs to manage our digestion and as the years go by this can result in a weakened immune response and it can slow down our metabolism.

Enzyme-deficient food sits in the upper part of your stomach rotting rather than starting to digest. Not a pretty picture. That’s what the enzymes are created to do. When that happens your white blood cell count will increase because your immune system responds to your undigested food as an alien substance. What’s more, it strains our systems to produce extra digestive enzymes at the expense of making metabolic enzymes for cellular activity. If stomach acids do not complete their job before the food moves into the small intestine, it’s difficult to extract the nutrients from your food.

This rotten material can adhere to the intestinal walls, hurting your ability to absorb needed nutrients and interfering with the ejection of toxins through the intestinal wall. In this environment, bacteria and viruses can thrive and easily multiply out of control leaving you susceptible to infection, fatigue, and degenerative disease.

Not many people will ever live on a raw food diet so we’re living on enzyme deficient food, but you can supplement with digestive enzymes like Protease (for proteins), Lipase (for fats) or Amylase (for carbohydrates).

Why You Want Maximizer Enzymes for Digestion

Those of us who are familiar with and used to thinking about the importance of digestive enzymes can easily forget that enzymes are important to more than the digestive system . As a matter of fact , in the absence of enzymes we would have no chemical reactions at all, anywhere in our body, because enzymes are the potential labor force available to your body to fire up every necessary chemical reaction. Without enzymes nothing works .

But food digestion uses a considerable investment in energy from the body in terms of enzyme activity . Since we only have a certain enzyme potential when we’re born and we need it to last our entire life, it seems sensible to manage our capacity to manufacture enzymes and supplement when possible . One of the reasons that supplementing is necessary, is because our cooked diet robs us of the enzyme intake that would have been available to us on a diet of raw food . (And if you can understand how we are shortchanged of our natural enzyme intake from our diet of cooked food, just think of the implications for your dogs and cats !)

To provide our saliva and other intestinal juices with the many enzymes required to process our intake of cooked food, we must steal from the supply of enzymes to our heart, brain , lungs, kidneys , muscles and other tissues and organs . According to food enzyme researcher, Dr. Edward Howell, that competition between our digestive tract and our remaining organ systems in our bodies may directly contribute to the development of several different chronic and incurable conditions .

To summarize , in the words of this physician , who has spent over forty years treating ongoing ailments -the depletion of our enzyme ” stocks “, which is the direct result of our diets dominated by enzyme depleted- cooked food, is a leading contributor to premature aging and early death.

Since it is not likely that we are going to move totally to a diet of raw foods , there are two simple steps that we can employ to offset this issue . The first is to make a deliberate plan to eat more raw, fruits and vegetables replacing some of our cooked meals with simpler choices – like grains, fruits and vegetables.

Another idea – that’s also simple is to get into the habit of supplementing with quality digestive enzymes . Maximizer enzymes, which is a product available from RGarden is a multi-enzyme supplement. For people with problems like stomach ulcers, an even better choice is Gamma-Zyme a multi enzyme supplement that does not contain Protease ( for proteins) which can upset some stomachs. Lipase enzyme supplementis also a good choice to help process fat.

Immune Boosters You Should Know About

Just like everything else your immune system gets weaker when you grow old, so you might want to consider immune boosters to strengthen this important function.

Vitamins E and D are immune boosters

One such supplement is Vitamin E. Based on a study from the Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging, at Tufts University in Boston, Vitamin E can help some of the immune system from declining with age. The research used 78 seniors in good health, sixty-five and older and discovered that 200 mg of Vitamin E every day for a period of sixteen weeks stimulated increased antibody production in response to vaccines for hepatitis B and tetanus.

Vitamin E can boost the immune response by triggering extra production of our killer T-cells to destroy germs and cancer cells. In addition to that, your B-cells, the special cells that create antibodies to kill bacteria are stimulated in the presence of Vitamin E. Another valuable fact – in a different study at the Harvard School of Public Health, using Vitamin E supplements was shown to cut the chance of heart attacks by 50%.

Vitamin D3 the vitamin manufactured in your skin following exposure to the suns ultraviolet light is also an immune system booster.

Alma Fuit can boost your immune system

A new health drink that has immune system boosters also contains Alma fruit – something I had never heard of before. Alma fruit, or the Indian gooseberry is also an exceptional source of Vitamin C with 30X’s more vitamin C than you’ll find in oranges. Alma fruit is found in the plains and mountain regions of the Indian Subcontinent and grows anywhere from Burma to Afghanistan.

Continuing studies are demonstrating that Alma fruit might help to treat and/or avoid problems such as stress, cataracts, arthritis, hayfever and also cancer. It’s no surprise that the traditional Tibetan and Indian healers attribute to it special immune enhancing and anti-aging properties.

Japanese scientists at Nagasaki University have discovered that extracts from alma fruit prevent the growth of cancerous cells, with those in the stomach, uterus and skin showing the most pronounced effect. It’s also a richly concentrated source of antioxidants. The active immune booster in Alma has the name phyllemblin which can stimulate an increased production of immune cells.

Glutathione offers immune system support

Our bodies have many antioxidant defense systems, but within each cell a little protein called glutathione is crucial. Glutathione is essential for the action of immune cells, which protect us from bacterial and viral infections. Among people suffering from immune deficiency, glutathione levels are below what is normall found in the blood and immune cells. When they can increase glutathione levels to match what’s expeccted in healthy humans. it’s likely to help immune deficient people.

Why We Need Bacteria to Survive

I always found this story to be very interesting because to many folks, living in our artificially disinfected world, bacteria is the enemy. Actually. it isn’t.

A perplexed Dr. Alexander Khoruts had run out of options for treating a patient with a wicked case of Clostridium difficile. Antibiotics didn’t help so Dr. Khoruts decided his patient should have a transplant. He transplanted some bacteria from her husband.

Prior to the procedureit was noted that her intestinal flora was almost non existant. “The usual bacteria just wasn’t there in her,” said Dr. Khoruts. “She was inhabited by all kinds of misfits.” Fourteen days after the procedure, the transplanted microbes were dominant. “That population was able to function and cured her condition quickly”.

To say that the scientific community was surprised with the outcome is an understatement. It shouldn’t be. Researchers are often blown away by the inter workings, impact, and sheer number of bacteria that populate our systems. We have over 10 times more bacteria than cells.

We end up with populations of different species, but they usually conduct the same essential chemistry that we need to survive. One of those functions is breaking down complex plant molecules. We have a pathetic number of enzymes encoded in the human genome, so we rely on extra microbes. As well as supporting the digestive function, the microbiome helps us in a variety of other ways. The bacteria in our nasal passage, for example, make antibiotics that battle the dangerous pathogens we inhale.

In order to work in harmony with our internal flora, our own bacteria population, our immune system has to be able to tolerate thousands of harmless bacteria while attacking unfriendly ones. Researchers are seeing that the microbiome itself guides the immune system to the proper balance. One way the immune system fights pathogens is with inflammation, but too much inflammation can be harmful, so we also have immune cells that produce inflammation-reducing signals. With their ability to contain unrestrained free radicals, antioxidant populations also support an inflammation fighting function.

Scientists are finding new links between our inner flora and our health. They’re also learning that many illnesses are accompanied by significant changes in the makeup of our inner ecosystems or bacteria populations. For example, people with asthma have a different collection of microbes in their lungs than healthy people. Obese people also have a different set of bacteria species in their digestive tracts than people of normal weight.

Some studies suggest that babies delivered by Caesarian section are more likely to get skin infections since they might lack the protective covering of bacteria from their mother’s birth canal. Caesarean sections have also been connected to an increase in asthma and allergies in kids. So have the high use of antibiotics in the United States and other developed countries. Farm children who are most likely to be exposed to healthy microbes from the soil are less likely to get autoimmune disorders than their peers who grow up in the city.

We consistently underestimate the importance of microbes and bacteria to our health and our medical profession has been too quick to take out their pads of paper and write up prescriptions for antibiotics and synthetic drugs.

Against this backdrop there has been a sudden upsurge in interest of probiotics and I think that probiotic supplements are pretty much a no-brainer given all the antibiotics most of us are exposed to over our lives. One probioitc suplement you might want to try is G.I. Balance – Dr Keller’s Immune System boosting probioitc

Avoid Heart Disease- Know the Risk Factors

Atherosclerosis, the scientific term for heart disease is the # 1 killer among North Americans. But what is it Well, sclerosis signifies “hardening” and athero identifies the type of substance that stops up and hardens arteries. Over time, our risk factors slowly rise but specific risk factors are important in figuring out if we’re probably prospects and they include our years, blood pressure, total cholesterol levels and good (HDL) cholesterol ranges.

Warning Indicators
High total cholesterol

High levels of cholesterol in the blood can contribute to atherosclerosis, which is the slow build-up of fat, cholesterol and other particles along the sides of your arteries. It’s called plaque and it can accumulate enough to narrow and harden the artery. If the plaque is serious enough, it can restrict blood flow past the blockage. Portions can also detatch themselves and cause a heart attack or stroke. An acceptable cholesterol level is 170 mg/dL or lower.

Low HDL “good” cholesterol
High concentration lipoproteins (HDL) absorb cholesterol and recycle it back to the liver for removal. A normal, healthy HDL level is over 60 mg/dL. HDL cholesterol rises with workouts. We need daily exercise to boost our HDL and decrease our risk of heart attack.

Elevated blood pressure
Blood pressure measurements are read as two numbers. The higher number, referred to as the systolic pressure, signifies the pressure in the arteries when your heart beats . The smaller number, called the diastolic pressure, signifies the pressure when the heart is at rest.

A normal systolic number is 115. If your arteries are narrowed, hardened or inflamed your heart needs to beat harder and this will generate a higher systolic measure.

A normal diastolic number is 75 or less. When the diastolic number is too high it can suggest that your lungs, kidneys and liver are not properly detoxifying your body.

High blood pressure, along with high cholesterol levels and low HDL levels should be considered as warning signals from our body. Heightened homocysteine sounds a louder alarm and high C-Reactive protein levels should never be ignored.

In addition to exercise, products like Cellgevity with support the heart by supporting our glutathione production, ProAri-9 Plus which acts as a Nitric Oxide Precursors and Herbal supplements like RGardens Heart Blend will all help you support your good health.
