What You Need First After Exercising

Do you dread those everyday aches and pains so much that it keeps you from exercising in the first place?

You don’t have to let those aches and pains stop you anymore.

It’s possible to eliminate muscle aches and stiffness immediately after working out. And you can help rebuild your muscles at the same time.

What you have to do is immediately put back things you use up during exercise. This means carbohydrates and proteins…

Waiting to Exhale

On my last trip to India, I met a yoga teacher at the center where I stayed. Every morning we’d wake before dawn. As we watched the sunrise over the mountain, he taught me how to breathe.

Yoga breathing balances your parasympathetic nervous system. This is your “rest and digest” system. It’s what makes you relax and recuperate. These days, we’re so over-stimulated, we’re always in a state of “fight or flight” (your sympathetic nervous system). Too much stimulation leads to an over dominance of sympathetic tone.

Breathing can change that…

Did You See This in TIME?

Did you see the recent cover of TIME magazine?

In a special issue on aging, TIME featured the Nobel Prize winning breakthrough on telomere research.

In the article, Scientists Get Closer to Understanding Why We Age, they confirmed that telomeres “are the closest we may come to identifying a biological clock – and our best bet for learning how to stop or turn back that clock.”1

If you’re a regular reader, you’ll know telomeres are the part of your chromosome that gets smaller as you age. When the telomere runs out, cell division stops, and life comes to an end.

How I Get My Energy

Today I want to tell you about something I use to get my energy.

You can use this yourself to get energized without caffeine, herbs, or sugar.

This energy boost helps me focus and stay alert… and I don’t get tired as much.

I give it to my patients when they want more energy.

They say they “jump out of bed” in the morning instead of feeling stiff and cranky. They call it their best source of energy. And they stock up on it just in case we run out…

New York City Takes On Salt

Did you see the January 10th New York Times report about salt?

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg recently named it his next “Public Enemy #1.”

His health department already banned trans-fats in restaurants. And forced calorie counts to be listed on menus. Now they’re taking on salt.

The real question they should be asking is not “Should you eat salt or not?” It’s “What kind of salt should you eat?”

The Truth About “Vitamin Sunshine”

You can lower your risk of 17 types of cancer by 77%, just by taking a simple nutrient:

Vitamin D, the “sunshine vitamin.”

Even if you take vitamins, you’re probably not getting enough D. In fact, in one study I read, when over 1,200 people were randomly screened, more than 87% had a vitamin D deficiency.

My patients do their best to get in the sun and take supplements. But when they come to my clinic, their levels of vitamin D are still too low.

Atkins Without Beef…What’s Next?

Have you heard about this “Eco-Atkins Diet” that a bunch of researchers dreamed up to please vegetarians?

Dr. Atkins must be rolling over in his grave.

These veggie-wackos want a diet that offers “Atkins without animal fat.” They call it, “Eco-Atkins.”

Holy cow!

The Atkins Diet is all about eating animal protein. So how do you eat a high-protein diet without animal fat? Turns out we’re supposed to bulk up on soy burgers and wake up to the smell of vegetarian bacon – whatever that is!

Secret African Seed Makes Slimming Soup

Deep in the jungles of West Africa, there are places where obesity is completely unknown.

The natives don’t get fat.

A professor doing population studies discovered this curious fact. After watching this group and comparing them to others, he found something unique about their diet:

The locals use a paste derived from the seed of a “bush mango” to thicken their soups.

This professor, an expert in nutritional biochemistry at the university in nearby Cameroon, created an extract of this seed and ran his own tests.

After 10 weeks, the people taking this extract dropped an average of 28 pounds and shed 6 inches around their waist…
