I recently fulfilled a life-long dream. In March, I climbed Africa’s Mount Kilimanjaro. It’s the highest walkable point on Earth. And, it’s only two degrees from the equator. So it’s about as close as you can get to the sun.
On the summit at almost 20,000 feet, I looked east and west. I felt like I could see all the way around the world. It was one of the most exhilarating experiences of my life.
You can drop weight and reduce fat without ever counting a calorie or stepping on a treadmill.
It all depends on what you eat first thing in the morning. You can program your metabolism for the rest of the day.1
When you eat a high-fat breakfast, it turns on your fat-burning metabolism. You’ll drop fat off your body and use up the calories you eat for the rest of the day.
Teresa looks spectacular in a bikini.
Men half her age walk up to her and start conversations, or tell her how great she looks. Wherever she goes, people talk.
But it wasn’t always like that. Teresa used to weigh 204 pounds and wear a size 14 dress…
Do you want to hear the funniest joke in the world?
If you do searches for the “funniest joke in the world,” this is the most common winner for U.S. audiences…
A couple of hunters are out in the woods when one of them grabs his chest, falls to the ground, and then lies there motionless.
The other hunter calls 911. “My friend won’t get up, and I think he’s dead! What should I do?”…
The other day G.S. came to my office for a visit.
I won’t get into his personal medical issue, but the subject of fiber came up.
He said, “Dr. Sears, I’m getting all the fiber I need. Every morning I have my whole wheat toast or a big bowl of Frosted Mini-Wheats.”
I’m telling you this because it’s kind of typical. My patients believe they’re getting the right kind of fiber from whole grains.
The truth is all fiber is not created equal. You could call a cardboard box “fiber,” because it’s cellulose and your body wouldn’t digest it.
But it’s not the type of fiber nature intended for you to have in your body…
Your “countdown clock” is ticking…
When it ticks down to zero, your life comes to an end.
The good news is that it’s possible to add more time to your countdown clock and extend your life by years or even decades.
These “clocks” are strands of genetic material that sit on the end of each chromosome. Called telomeres, these strands get shorter as you age.
Here’s what you need to know:
My guide hacked a narrow path for me through the underbrush. It was the second day of our journey, deep into the jungles of the Amazon.
I was on my way to speak to a curandero, a native healer, about a plant the locals believe has magical healing properties. They use this herb in many rituals.
When we finally arrived at the small village, the curandero prepared a bath infused with the herb. It smelled a little like garlic, and he said it would protect me from witchcraft…
Get this: There’s a nutrient with a delivery system so revolutionary, the government issued a patent for it (US Patent 6 04 5809).
Researchers have been working for over 40 years to find a way to get more of this antioxidant into your body. But until now, they couldn’t find one.
Why all the fuss?
This antioxidant has a link to how long you’ll live…
Everybody loves sugar. And here’s another reason to keep it in your cupboard.
Sugar can heal your cuts, scrapes, burns, and even large wounds without leaving a scar. It kills germs and repairs tissue better than any antiseptic or disinfectant on the market.1
Sugar may just be the first antiseptic in history. People have written about its miraculous properties for over 4,000 years, since early Egyptian times. But it fell out of favor once antibiotics became available…
Have you resigned yourself to gaining weight because it “runs in the family”?
Bad genetics doesn’t have to catch up with you. You can change your genes simply by making a few adjustments to your diet.1
When you eat certain foods, nutrients release hormones that switch your genes on and off. And the nutrients in low-glycemic foods turn off genes that lead to weight gain and diseases that may follow.
We found this out when we studied the response to the glycemic index (GI) in people who have metabolic syndrome…
