2008-06-14 The Goodness of Red Wine, Sans the Alcohol - Health - redOrbit

Its called the French Paradox. The French eat a diet higher in fat than Americans, yet they suffer from less heart disease. Many scientists now believe the answer to this paradox lies in the copious amounts of red wine the French drink, since red wine contains a substance thats been shown to counteract the negative effects of a high-fat diet. The latest research confirms resveratrol may indeed have special heart-protective benefits, at lower doses than previously thought. Theres just one problem: To get the amount of "low-dose" resveratrol studied, a person would have to drink 35 bottles of wine a day. Fortunately, Essence of Life offers high-potency resveratrol in pill form as JIVA Resveratrol ( ) -- delivering the goodness of red wine, without all the alcohol.

Which gives a safe diet based on scientific facts from her 18 years of experience. Many diets make wild promises but the usual rule of thumb is that the wilder the claim the less likely it is to work. Any diet is going to work in the short term because you are going to eat fewer calories but often the proposed eating plan is not sustainable, the

She admits this all sounds a bit serious, but adds the reason why many women have weight issues is because they havent got control over what they are eating. Food becomes tangled up with negative beliefs about yourself and your past. Its got to be a long-term process. If as a child you were hurt or upset and given sweets you might associate food as a reward or use it to hide emotions. I am not talking about heavy-duty psychology here, its about getting people to be honest with themselves and face up to what they are doing, she added.

New York -- A recent study done in New York suggested that Xenical, where used in conjunction with a low-calorie diet, behavioral therapy, and exercise, can be very effective in managing weight issues with obese adolescents.

2008-06-07 Resveratrol in Mice. In the Pipeline:

This study had three groups of male mice (in a C57 black strain): a control group getting 84 kcal/mouse/week of food, a calorie-restricted group getting 25 pct. less chow, and a group getting the first diet plus 4. 9 mg/kg of resveratrol, both experimental diets starting at mouse middle age (14 months). This same group had already reported that starting CR at that point in that mouse strain leads to about a 13 pct. increase in lifespan.

When they analysed the genes from the heart tissue of the mice, the researchers found that the low-calorie diet reduced by 90 pct. the changes in gene expression known to be related to ageing compared with the mice on the control diet. The researchers also found that resveratrol prevented 92 pct. of the age-related changes in gene expression in heart tissue compared with the control mice. The researchers found a less extreme effect of resveratrol on ageing skeletal muscles and the brain, with resveratrol supplementation leading to a reduction in 26 pct. of age-related changes in gene expression in muscle, and 13 pct. in brain tissue. This was similar to the reduction seen with the low-calorie diet. When they compared which genes were being affected, the researchers found that resveratrol mimicked the effects of calorie restriction (i. e. there was a

2008-06-05 Review - The Pocket Life Coach - Self-Help

The book contains a strong dose of "holistic counseling. " Nutrition is covered with an overview of food choices, meal plans, caloric regulation, and even tips for supermarket shopping. In the section, "Getting Fitter," Chapman spends considerable time advising about aerobic exercise and other stress-reducing physical activities. A proper diet and regular exercise will contribute to sound sleep, which he also endorses as an essential ingredient for a peaceful existence.

As might be expected, the book has a lot to say about "positive thinking. " Much of the information is a watered-down version of cognitive therapy that deals with attitude adjustment, generating affirming thoughts, and countering negative (unrealistic) beliefs. Because cognitive control methods have a strong research base, it was good to see them represented accurately in the book.

2008-06-05 Low-dose resveratrol may slow ageing: for mice at least

Previous in vitro and in vivo studies with resveratrol suggest that the compound may help prevent the negative effects of high-calorie diets and has anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer potential.

The researchers fed middle-aged mice (14-months) a control diet, a low dose of resveratrol (4. 9 mg kg-1 day-1), or a calorie restricted (CR) diet, and followed the animals until old age (30 months).

The situation is complicated however with critics of the compound noting that in order to gain such benefits from dietary sources, one would have to drink 350 to 1250 litres of red wine - a wholly inappropriate endeavour. Moreover, resveratrol supplements would not be effective since a daily dose in the region of 2500mg would be required to mimic the effects observed in other studies.

Kurzweil, too, was intrigued by the severe diet regimens Grossman explored. The basic idea is that overly processed foods feed Westerners too much fat, too much sugar, and too many calories and toxins overall, taxing the body and prematurely aging our key systems. Tough caloric restrictions - down to 1,800 or even 1,200 calories a day - combined with wholesale food-pyramid overhauls that place a heavier emphasis on plants and fish could extend current human life spans as a first "bridge" to future longevity technology.

2008-06-02 Controlling your cholesterol numbers

Quitting smoking and losing weight if you are overweight (or tend to store fat in the abdomen area), can also lower your heart disease risk. The dietary and exercise guidelines noted above will do double duty to help with weight loss, as well as lower cholesterol directly. Try eating three meals a day with healthy snacks between, watching portion sizes, and choosing less calorie-dense foods.

As with the guidelines for lowering high blood pressure and blood sugar, diet and exercise can greatly counter the negative health risks. In many cases, with a healthier lifestyle, you can either avoid having to use medications (and their related side effects) or at least reduce the dosage needed.

If you have been told your cholesterol is high, you probably think this means just dropping some of the fats out of your diet. The guidelines for lowering the total and "bad" cholesterol do in fact include watching how many high fat foods you eat, but they are a little more specific. The guidelines also include adding some things to your diet that can be helpful plus more physical

2008-05-31 The Fix Is In: Dealey Plaza, Oliver Stone, and the NBA Bleacher Report

The real rub comes more from this cavalcade of insipid and addled comments authored by those who claim there is ample evidence and - in some cases, they have seen first hand - how the NBA has become a professional sports league where the outcomes are fixed in order to serve David Stern and his lackeys. To them, the question of "if" need not be asked because its blatantly obvious that every single motion is orchestrated to ensure a Boston-Los Angeles Finals. Only a fool would discount for a micro-second that even the refs are in league with the basketball Beelzebub seeking to insure their wallets remain fatter than the person who insists a diet beverage is the perfect low-calorie accompaniment to the super-sized fries.
