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. Thursday, 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.
Thursday, May 08, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Every person in American is being exposed to a wide variety of fat soluble toxins that tend to bio-accumulate in their fat as they get older. Managing your detoxification systems properly as you lose weight can be an important determining factor in how much progress you make and whether of not you reach an optimal goal weight. Monday, May 05, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) A variety of reports in the past decade have indicated that calcium may be a helpful weight loss nutrient. This prompted the dairy industry to widely promote milk as a weight loss food. On May 5, 2008 a press release reports on an article that will soon appear in the Nutritional Reviews journal that states “neither dairy nor calcium intake promotes weight loss.” For consumers this simply becomes another “butter vs. margarine” or “are eggs good or bad” dilemma. Extra calcium is one tool that can actually help many people to lose weight in a healthy way. Sunday, May 04, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) The sparks flew on Capital Hill last week.

Saturday, May 03, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Extra fat does a lot more than clog arteries. Inflammatory proteins coming from fat directly damage the heart – whether you feel just fine or not.

Friday, 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. Friday, May 02, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Aging is marked by a progressive loss of physical function.

Richards, CCN) Impaired coordination may be a first sign of sluggish thyroid function. Are you bumping into things too often? If so, you may have sluggish thyroid due to faulty leptin function. Thursday, May 01, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) A stunning thyroid study has just been published in the Archives of Internal Medicine.
