When It Comes To Good Bone Density, K Is As Important As D

by

I diagnosed a patient with osteoporosis. She looked me in the eye and said I must be wrong. I assured her that her bone density was low and asked why she didn’t think the diagnosis could be correct. “I’ve taken a vitamin D supplement and a calcium supplement for years to make sure my bones stay strong. I just can’t have osteoporosis… I’ve done everything right.” She’d never been told about the third nutrient absolutely critical to bone health.

Chokeberry: Funny Name, Incredible Antioxidant

by

I’d like to tell you about another, new (to health research that is) superfood antioxidant that we haven’t talked about before. When I say the name of this berry to my patients they almost always wrinkle up their eyebrows and say “ a what-berry?” to which I repeat, a “chokeberry”. Even though it has a funny name, I’d like to tell you about the new fantastic health benefits researchers are now assigning to this ancient fruit.

Microwaves…Friend Or Foe?

by

I have to admit that a microwave is not the healthiest way to cook. I’m sure most of you have been using a microwave for some time so please don’t stop entirely on account of what I’m about to tell you. But I am going to suggest you limit using it to preparing the occasional snack or disinfecting your kitchen sponges. There is enough evidence to suggest that they can destroy important nutrients in your food.

Palm Trees Do More Than Shade You From The Sun…Coconut Oil and Palm Oil Are Both Essential To Your Diet

by

Good Fats…Bad Fats…it can be very confusing to many of us. But despite a growing understanding of fats—what makes a good fat or a bad fat and why your body absolutely needs fat—there are still a number of myths and misunderstandings out there I need to make clear.

It’s High Noon…The Showdown is Good Fats vs Bad Fats

by

Back in the 90’s there was no question about “fats”. Simply all fats were bad for you. And because of the lack of research in this subject matter, most doctors probably instructed you to stay away from them.
But with new studies being performed things have gotten a little more complicated these days when it comes to the pros and cons of fats in your diet. That’s why I would like to take a few moments of your time to set the record straight.

Green Tea May Relieve Rheumatoid Arthritis Pain

by

It usually starts in the small joints of your hands. They become hot and inflamed. They feel stiff and difficult to move. As the condition progresses, other joints will be affected. Your cartilage will be damaged. You may also experience fatigue, general muscle soreness, weakness, and depression.
Rheumatoid arthritis can be a truly debilitating condition, so I am always on the look out for promising non-invasive ways to treat the condition. Just recently, green tea came to the fore as a possible way to relieve RA symptoms.

Your Guide To Getting The Most From Your Multivitamin

by

I had a patient the other day asking why I had recommended a multivitamin to him when research now shows multivitamins cause prostate cancer. He’d heard a report on a study that suggested men who take multivitamins have a higher rate of prostate cancer. This is so far from the truth that it scares me about what people are reading.

Cranberries Pack In The Health Benefits Any Time Of Year

by

Like most berries, cranberries are loaded with antioxidants. But the health benefits don’t stop there. A review of clinical studies shows that cranberries fight free radicals and have an anti-inflammatory affect in the body. These two actions can help to promote good heart health. Get the most out of cranberries.

Make Sure You Get Enough Of This Lifesaving Vitamin

by

If you’re like most Americans, you slather on sunscreen before going outside, you wear sunglasses and a broad-brimmed hat, and you stay indoors during the peak hours of the day. It turns out, you may have gone a little overboard. Sunlight is your body’s main source of vitamin D. When sunlight hits your skin it catalyzes the production of vitamin D, and vitamin D is very, very important to your health.
