Q10 Boosts Muscle Function and Exercise Performance
Sunday, June 01, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Researchers at Baylor University tested 200 mg per day of Q10 in a group of trained and unconditioned male and female participants. A single dose of Q10 boosted the level of this important energizing nutrient in the blood, which correlated directly to muscle levels of Q10 and the ability of muscles to use oxygen. “Normal” Air Pollution Poses Stroke RiskFriday, May 30, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Chemical particles in the air from cars, trucks, and industrial pollution are now linked directly to an increased risk of stroke or mini-strokes. Lynda Lisabeth, lead author and assistant professor in the University of Michigan School of Public Health stated. “The vast majority of the public is exposed to ambient air pollution at the levels observed in this community or greater every day, suggesting a potentially large public health impact.” Beta Carotene Protects Your Skin from SunburnFriday, May 30, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) A new meta-analysis of previous beta carotene studies has found that beta carotene offers significant protection from sunburn, a result that shows up after 10 weeks of consistent supplement use and continues to improve over time. Lutein and DHA Help Your EyesThursday, May 29, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) A new study concludes that “Lutein and DHA may aid in prevention of age-related macular degeneration.” Green Tea Flavonoids Protect ArteriesWednesday, May 28, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) High quality green tea extracts are standardized for their powerful polyphenol flavonoids known as epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). An investigation into the molecular activity of this antioxidant compound found that it is highly protective to the endothelial cells lining the inside of arteries. Weight Loss Health Freedom Under Serious AttackWednesday, May 28, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) The brotherhood of Big Pharma’s weight loss cartel is taking direct aim at your health freedom and natural options to help you lose weight. They have submitted a petition to the FDA requesting that all claims that dietary supplements promote, assist, or otherwise help in weight loss are disease claims. The goal is to eliminate competition for dietician services, drugs, and surgery in the multi-billion dollar weight loss industry. Birth Control Pills, B6, & Heart DiseaseSunday, May 25, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) A new study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition adds further evidence linking the use of birth control pills to an increase in heart disease. Researchers were quite surprised to see a societal deficiency in vitamin B6 in women of childbearing age, especially women who have or were taking birth control pills. Former birth control pill users had significantly elevated homocysteine, which leads to the build up of arterial plaque and consequent heart disease. Flavonoids Reduce Cancer RiskFriday, May 23, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Flavonoids are a natural component of fruits, vegetables, red wine, and many dietary supplements that possess antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-carcinogenic properties. Those with the most flavonoids in their diet had a 47% less risk of developing non-Hodgkin lymphoma (lymphatic system related white blood cell cancers). Salt is Not So Evil After AllMonday, May 19, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Salt, like saturated fat, is a common scapegoat for heart-related health problems. A new study turns the paranoid salt shaker world on its head. It found that those with the lowest intake of salt were 80% more likely to die from cardiovascular disease than those with the highest intake of salt. The low salt consumers were also 24% more likely to die from any cause. Stress and Dust – A Prenatal Recipe for Allergy & AsthmaMonday, May 19, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) The first human study in a U.S. population shows a direct link between mom’s prenatal stress level and the immune system competence of her child. The Sugar and High Fructose Corn Syrup Path to DiseaseSaturday, May 10, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) In a recent study it came as a surprise to researchers when they found that sucrose and high fructose corn syrup elevated blood triglycerides much higher than did fructose over a 24-hour period. This little problem throws a monkey wrench in the idea that all simple sugars are more or less the same. It explains one main contributor to obesity and heart disease. Is Long Life in Your Bones?Thursday, May 08, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Most people think of bone issues in terms of osteoporosis or concerns about breaking them, which are important issues as something like a hip fracture can lead to an increased rate of mortality. However, bones are now recognized as a metabolic powerhouse intimately involved with cardiovascular health, diabetes risk, immunity, inflammation, and metabolism. This started becoming obvious a few years back when “all cause mortality” was linked to bone health. What Men Should Know - Women, Exercise, & MoodThursday, May 08, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Science is proving what most women already know; that leisure time physical activity boosts your mood compared to the same amount of physical energy spent at work or doing chores. Mayo Clinic Jumps On the Fish Oil BandwagonFriday, May 02, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Miracles never cease and it appears that the Mayo Clinic is trying to enter the 21st century with at least a finger on the nutritional pulse of reality. My cursory review of their website found them woefully lacking even the basic ideas of what really works on most health topics – but at least they have come out and stated that fish oil is a terrific nutrient for the prevention and treatment of heart disease. Vitamin B12 is Vital for Elderly Well BeingFriday, May 02, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Aging is marked by a progressive loss of physical function. A new study of community dwelling women between the ages of 70-79 shows that those lacking vitamin B12 had more than double the risk of being frail. Fosamax Linked to Atrial FibrillationThursday, May 01, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) The list of damage found in the path of a Fosamax tornado continues to grow. A new report in the Archives of Internal Medicine offers conclusive proof that users of Fosamax are at an 86% increased risk for developing heart-related damage in the form of atrial fibrillation. Q10 Needed for Energy, Kidneys, and Your HeartSunday, April 27, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) A new series of animal experiments shows that your kidneys are the first to show significant signs of Q10 distress – a red flag indicating problems are likely anywhere in your body (whatever your weak spots may be). Signs of kidney stress include… Mitochondria Take Center StageSunday, April 27, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Researchers at Texas A & M University have discovered that it is the mitochondria that signals the DNA to initiate cell division. This profound discovery means that protecting and energizing mitochondria just became a topic of immense proportion – if you would like to be healthy and live longer. Basic Vitamins Reduce Tuberculosis RecurrenceSunday, April 27, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) TB continues as an international problem. There are only 14,000 cases per year in the U.S., disproportionately affecting those born in other countries and minorities. A new study shows that treating TB patients with basic nutrients: vitamin A, B-complex, C, E, and selenium reduced the recurrence of TB by 45% - a rather stunning finding. Vitamin D Boosts Your Brain FunctionTuesday, April 22, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Is there anything vitamin D doesn’t do? All those vitamin D receptors in your brain apparently want vitamin D so that your mind functions normally! Hot Flashes and Blood SugarSunday, April 20, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Novel research by nurses at the University of Texas is documenting that when blood sugar lowers then hot flashes are more likely and that when food is eaten then hot flashes may stay away for up to 90 minutes. Are Antioxidants Safe?Sunday, April 20, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) A recent Danish study was intended to raise doubt amongst antioxidant consuming Americans. It has been widely circulated in the Big-Pharma sponsored mainstream media – which is typical. Antioxidants are the foundation of health for every cell in your body. If you don’t have enough your cells will die faster and generate inflammation at much higher rates – aging your body faster. Nothing about this simple fact has ever changed – nor will it. Boosting your diet with high quality dietary supplements containing antioxidants is common sense. Female Teenage Athletes at Risk for Bone LossFriday, April 18, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) A combination of low fat dieting, not eating enough in general, and high levels of exercise may seriously weaken the bones of teenage female athletes – potentially handicapping their bone density for the rest of their lives. Vitamin E Extends Life of Alzheimer’s PatientsFriday, April 18, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) A new study being reported at the American Academy of Neurology meeting in Chicago finds that 2,000 IU of vitamin E per day extended the lifespan of Alzheimer’s patients by 26%, something that no drug can do. Vitamin D and Calcium Help Kill Colon Cancer CellsMonday, April 14, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) There are more reasons to take vitamin D and calcium than just bone health. It has been known for some time that vitamin D and calcium are associated with less colon cancer. Researchers at Emory University have now identified key gene signaling that helps explain how these nutrients work to help kill cancer cells and protect your health.
