FOOD CAN BREAK OR MAKE OUR HEALTH !

I recently went for a full blood test and the results came out to be the worst of my many years. Yes, my cholesterol level was bad, really bad - Total Cholesterol 7.8 and the border line was supposed to be less than 5.2.

Was told I can anytime die of heart disease coupled with my family history, especially my dad had two bypass in 18 years that makes me on high risk. I was determined to reduce it by my disciplined diet and not depend on drugs. A friend recently reminded me of articles on side effects after taking these drugs like- satin, zocor and lipidor that can reduced cholesterol but have very bad side effect on our muscles and joints.

I believe it is possible to live in a perfect state of agelessness. Every 3 months we get an entirely new bloodstream, so it is not the bloodstream that gets old. Every 11 months, every cell in the body has renewed itself.... so we will have a practically new body every 11 months. Every 2 years we get an entirely new bone structure, so in 3 years you can really born again.. yes BORN AGAIN.

We have seen and met over the years that people live 100 or more years old; their eyes perfect, they had no hardening of arteries, no blindness, no aches and pains. Most of these people lived their early lives in rural settings where they never ate refine and processed foods. They lived active lives on simple, natural, healthy foods from their own surroundings.

Those who live in urban areas have the tendency to go fast, yes fast food, many people especially those with heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, elevate cholesterol, or obesity in families have inherited a tendency for the insulin sensor on the cells to malfunction with age, illness, stress, or assault by years of high sugar and starch consumption. THE RIGHT DIET IS THE ONLY REMEDY.

The Garden of Paradise - We believe man once lived in a tropical paradise. They mainly ate nuts and seeds and many green leafy vegetables, raw and cooked fruits. This is the diet we believe that the man of Paradise lived on in Biblical times, with freedom from disease, and that some lived to be as old as 900 years or more.

Having Power In Life Inexpensively

I have lost a friend and a collegue last week due to leukemia i.e. cancer of the blood which he suffered for the last 3 years. He was only 44 years old. There could be numerous reasons why and how he got the cancer in his blood.

As I get older, I now live in the present. I think when we are young, we always live in the future, but when we are old we tend to live very much in the present. I know a lot of older people who live in the past. I suppose I am an old person, because some kids call me auntie, although I have never thought of myself in that way. There's a life to be lived, but I don't live in the future and I don't live in the past. I live very much in the present.

I guess if we are physically unwell, people talk about the arrogance of good health. When we are healthy we just take it for granted, but I think we would very quickly feel otherwise if we became ill.

I suppose it's extremely important, as an older person, we must have power and money, because if you don't have the power and you don't have money you do get pushed into a corner. Our society is made in such a way, and by power I mean we don't have to be a Prime Minister or the King but must have control over something in our life so that we are not seen as an object or a victim. Well, it's just observation not that I experience any of that sort.

Well, I suppose some may differ from my views in life but I am open to comments. Thanks

Being Healthy

Being healthy is more than just being free of disease, also means feeling good about yourself, no pain, no aches and being in full control of our lives. I am reaching my early fifties and it is time to assess our way of living and how might be affecting our health.

To experience total health, I may need to make a few changes by eating well-balanced diet, regular exercise and reducing and controlling stress.

A sensible eating program is important throughout out life. As I get older, I realized my nutritional requirements change, my metabolism slows down, my body absorbs fewer nutrients and I require fewer calories. I may even exercise less. If I continue to eat the same amount and types of food as before, I will probably put on weight. Every now and then I will stand on my weighing scale to guard against weight gain as this can increase risk of heart disease, which will already be increased by my diminishing levels of oestrogen.

It's important to manage what and how much I eat and how I keep my body in shape. For many women, weight has never been a problem. For others, life has been a constant battle with a multitude of diets. Weight gain results when the amount of calories I consume exceeds the amount of calories I use through metabolic and physical activities.

Most women I noticed increase in weight at this transitional stage in their lives. This weight might be evenly distributed throughout the body or it will begin to appear as extra bulk around the midriff.

Women's Health

Testosterone is good for women. But most women don’t know it. In fact, most women look at me like I’m crazy when I tell them I want to give them a shot of testosterone.

Why would I do that?

Because when they come to my clinic they’re tired, flabby, weak and depressed. When I measure their body composition, I find them lacking in good healthy muscle mass. They have no energy to work out and when I ask them about libido, they say, “What libido, I haven’t had any for years…”

But once they get a little “vitamin T,” they quickly turn around. And when they come back for their follow up, they’re so grateful they can’t stop talking about how good they feel.

In fact, the happiest patients I’ve ever treated are the ones who see a dramatic turn around from boosting their testosterone – especially the women. They’re the ones who tell their friends, sing our praises and see the remarkable benefits.

When a woman is feeling down, but ramps up her testosterone, she usually feels like she’s just had a complete make over. Fat melts away, new muscle starts to grow, strength and stamina appear out of nowhere and a new desire and interest in life takes root.

On top of that, your mood lifts and your emotions change for the better. Usually in a matter of days – sometimes hours. Feelings of weakness, despair and apathy turn into a joyful optimism. Men tell me about this too but I’d have to say women appreciate it even more.

Most people think of testosterone as a “man’s hormone.” But women need it as much as men, especially as they age. Even many doctors still express surprise and many advise their patients against it… Until their patients prove them wrong.

Most doctors don’t tell men about the effects of low testosterone either. Yet with each passing year, you’re losing this vital substance – and suffering needlessly as a result.

After age 30, your testosterone levels start to drop. This is true in both men and women. By the time you hit 40, you really start feeling the effects. You tire more easily and find you have less energy. Your passion and zest for life begin to fade.

Even worse, low testosterone levels increase your risk for heart disease, osteoporosis, obesity and even depression. So it’s more than a matter of losing your libido; we’re talking about a serious breakdown in your overall health and wellbeing.

Women tend to remain silent on the very problems testosterone can fix. The science backs me up on this. In a recent study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, researchers found that among folks over 50:1

• Women are less likely to discuss sexual problems with their doctors. Low sex drive and impotence are widely considered a “man’s problem.” And because there are no sexual performance drugs for women, they think they have to “grin and bear it.”

• 50% of both men and women reported having at least one bothersome sexual problem. The most common sexual problems women experience are diminished sexual desire (43%), difficulty with lubrication (39%) and inability to climax (34%).

• Women are more likely to report a lack of interest as their reason for sexual inactivity, particularly for those without a current relationship – 51% women vs. 24% men.

If you listen to your doctor, they’ll probably tell you there’s nothing you can do. Sure, they may offer you antidepressants or hormone replacement drugs. But that won’t help your problem.

But here’s some good news: You have a better option. It’s easy, safe and reliable, too.

There are natural treatments for testosterone deficiency. I’ve used them for years with thousands of patients – and seen dramatic results.

Soon, I’ll be launching a new libido booster just for women. I’ve been using the formula here at my clinic with great results. If you can’t get to my clinic, this is the next best thing.

One of the herbs I’ve included is Tongkat Ali. It comes from a tree native to Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand. Few have heard of it in this country, but it’s backed by decades of clinical research. It’s a powerful testosterone booster.2

You can try Tongkat Ali today. It’s available at most health food stores or vitamin shops. The best form is highly concentrated version call LJ100. Just follow the directions on the bottle.

In the coming weeks, I’ll be telling you more about this new formula and why it works. But here’s another clue: One of the ingredients naturally improves blood flow, giving you a unique effect that’s better – and safer – than any sexual performance drug.

Stay tuned…

To Your Good Health,

THE BEST GIFT TO OURSELVES ON OUR DIET AND AGING

There are many causes of the aging process, but I believe the primary cause is out diet. The chief culprits in the food arena are sugar and foods that quickly convert to sugar in the bloodstream, such as potatoes, breads, pastries, juice, chips and rice.

I have understood that painful fact of life: Sugar can be toxic. I used to like sweet food, such as, cakes, cookies, sweet deserts and many others but have to be very careful after I reached middle age. Even worse, from a dermatological point of view, is that sugar can permanently attach to the collagen present in our skin and other parts of our body through a process. Where the sugar attaches, there is a little mechanism creating inflammation, and becomes a source of inflammation in its own right. This inflammation produces enzymes that break down collagen, resulting in wrinkles. It will also make our skin stiff and inflexible-somewhat like soft, supple leather shoe left out in the rain and later becomes hard and stiff and brittle.

We suffer from stiff joints, hardened arteries, failing organs-basically, sugar contributes to the deterioration of every bodily function. As I write this article, this will reminds me to avoid sugar as much as I can remember. Sometimes I crave for sweet stuff and give myself a treat but I know it is bad.

Food for thought

Food like yogurt are fermented foods scientists consider "probiotic". I have learned that harmless bacteria in fermented milk products might explain the longevity of certain ethnic groups.

Yogurt contain healthful bacteria and can fight against infectious disease. This is why human breast milk is rich in nutritional factors that foster the growth of bifidobacteria-a beneficial bacterial family that keeps babies' intestinal healthy and disease-resistant.

I used to have difficulty consuming yogurt and soon learned to blend with my favourite fruits such as mangoes, apples and papayas, we called it 'lassie' and really delicious. A daily dose of yogurt is good for people of all ages. Yogurt is also important for those wanting to lose weight. As a milk product, yogurt is naturally rich in calcium. Research shows that calcium helps reduce weight gain. Even small changes in the calcium levels of fat cells can change signals within the cell that control and making and burning of fat.

Always buy organic yogurt, and avoid yogurt that contains thickeners and stabilizers. I will buy small cups of natural yogurt without fruits from the supermarkets and make my own by using the culture mix with room temperature fresh milk. Leave it for about 2 days at room temperature and it then becomes thickens, can leave it in the fridge when need blend with your favourite fruits and consume as a beverage or your daily dose of calcium. Yummy !
