“AGE is short for advanced glycation end products.  AGE proteins can age your arteries and cause big health trouble faster  than the kid at the counter can ask if you want fries with that.  What exactly are AGE’s?  In short they’re destructive “Franken Proteins” created by high-temperature cooking and also by the interaction of proteins and sugars in your bloodstream.  Diet is the biggest source of the AGEs raging through your bloodstream.  What’s good about that is that new research from Mt. Sinai School of Medicine in New York City reveals that you can lower your AGE levels by making a few smart food choices more often and tweaking the way you cook your food.”  You can also supplement your diet with a new product.  To find out more click here.

Is there a difference in supplements?

Health, Nutrition, vitamins » By Reed Hanson posted on October 8, 2009 No Comments »

Should we buy the least expensive vitamins, herbals, other supplements or should we look for nutritional products that are validated by solid science and not marketing science.  I choose to go for solid science.  I am going to pay more for a premium product but I am going to get better results.  Just because the product is on the shelf does not mean that it has been formulated based on solid science.  We need to do the research.  What do you think?

What is a Supplement?

A supplement will often have vitamins in it, but will also likely contain a variety of minerals, enzymes, amino acids or even herbs. Supplements tend to be more complex formulations which are designed to meet the needs of particular ailments or nutritional deficiencies.

We can supplement our diets with vitamins alone, or, as most of us do, we can supplement our diet with vitamins and the other biological needs our body has.

Whole food supplements are exactly as the name describes them. Derived from whole foods, which research has proven to be beneficial to the human body, whole food supplements deliver high does of vitamins and minerals.

It’s all food for thought!

A Breakthrough Vitamin D Study

Health, Nutrition, vitamins » By Reed Hanson posted on August 19, 2009 No Comments »

“Recent research had shown that vitamin D has many unexpected health benefits such as improved immune health and decreased rick of heart disease, diabetes and some kinds of cancer.  Based on a large number of clinical studies a consensus had begun to emerge that a level of 50 ng/ml of activated vitamin D in the bloodstream is neede for the full beneficial effects of vitamin D to be expressed.  No one was quite clear how much supplemental vitamin D was required to reach those optimum blood levels.  Shaklee Corporation asked Provident Clinical Research to help them determine how much supplemental vitamin D was required to reach optimal levels of vitamin D.  A regression analysis across all of the vitamin D intakes showed that 1000 IU of vitamin D was the minimum amount required to reach the 50 ng/ml threshold for optimal blood levelsl of vitamin D.  As blood levels of vitamin D increased, the levels of HDL increased and the risk of metabolic syndrome decreased.  So this study was groundbreaking in many ways.  In fact, it has been so well received by the scientific community, that the paper was accepted as soon as it was submitted without any revisions.  I’ve published lots of scientific papers in my career and I can tell you that it is very unusual for a paper to be accepted without a single revision.”  -Dr. Stephen Chaney”.  For information regarding a premium source of vitamin D click here.
