Don’t do this if you want to look younger

Don’t do this if you want to look younger

I once spoke at a “Fitness and Healthy Living” event in Los Angeles that I will never forget because most everything I saw around me was anything BUT healthy. The exhibit hall was filled with displays of very processed “workout” foods and snacks, diet shakes and pills, and most significantly…LOADS of people (mainly women) who have obviously had several Botox treatments. Now there’s nothing wrong with wanting to look youthful.  But when someone gets to...

What modern medicine is really about (Hint: It’s not health)

What modern medicine is really about (Hint: It’s not health)

The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines “medicine” as:  The science and art dealing with the maintenance of health and the prevention, alleviation, or cure of disease. I think they need to revisit this definition because I don’t see a lot of “health maintenance,” “prevention,” or “cure of disease” going on. What I do see is a system that is entirely captured and controlled by pharma to the extent that most times, the best you can hope for...

This could be Nature’s perfect nutrient—do you get enough?

This could be Nature’s perfect nutrient—do you get enough?

  A study was conducted by Harvard researchers that established 12 risk factors that were considered to be preventable causes of death.  As you would expect, high blood pressure and smoking were ranked up at the top.  But coming in at a noteworthy number 6 was an Omega-3 fatty acid deficiency!  That may surprise you, but when you look at the many ways Omega-3 fatty acids support your health, it becomes clear that being without...

Why is collagen so popular these days?

Why is collagen so popular these days?

  Before I get into today’s topic, I would ask that we all take a moment of reflection and prayer for those who lost their lives 22 years ago today in the 9/11 tragedy, as well as their loved ones.    ***********  It amuses me when a food or nutrient explodes in popularity, and people talk about it as if it’s something new.  A perfect example here is collagen.  Collagen has been around for as long...

Got tattoos?  Here’s what you might not know about them.

Got tattoos? Here’s what you might not know about them.

  What I am writing today probably won’t win me any popularity contests, but I’m used to telling people what they don’t want to hear.  Presently, about 35 percent of US adults, and nearly half of adults under 40, report having at least one tattoo.  If you are among those that have gone under the tattoo needle, there is much more going on behind the scenes in your body’s “artwork” that you might not even...

Does this protect you from deadly cancer?

Does this protect you from deadly cancer?

  If there’s one thing I’ve learned in my 60 years (yes, I am that old) it’s that you should always question products marketed for your “health” or to “protect you.”  Vegetable oils and margarine are excellent examples here.    For the last several decades, saturated fats like butter and red meat have been vilified and said to cause heart disease, while unsaturated vegetable oils and margarine have been marketed as heart healthy.  What a crock. ...
