    Two Things You Need to Be Beautiful

    Two Things You Need to Be Beautiful

    Your skin needs two things to be beautiful:

    1. Water, and…
    2. Good nutrition

    But there’s a problem. As you age, your skin loses the ability to hold water and take in nutrients. That leads to dry, sagging skin.

    Here’s the good news:

    You simply need an effective way to keep water in your cells and get more of the nutrients you need.

    Here at my clinic, I use a rejuvenating formula that restores youthful skin, without the chemicals that pollute your skin.

    Here’s how it works:

    A Teaspoon for a Lifetime

    Remember the red stuff your mom put on cuts and scrapes?

    It contained iodine, a mineral that kills germs. But iodine is more than just an antiseptic you put on your skin. It’s a trace element essential for life. A teaspoon is all you need in a lifetime, but most people in the U.S. are deficient.

    The tragedy is that many doctors don’t recognize iodine’s role in disease. You may suffer from chronic fatigue and hear “there’s no cure.” Your cholesterol or blood pressure is too high, and nothing short of drugs brings it down. Or the doctor tells you the cysts in your breasts or ovaries lead to cancer.

    You may have one of these things as a result of a simple iodine deficiency.

    What You Need First After Exercising

    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

    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 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?

    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

    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…

    Miracle Fatty Acid Adds Years to Your Life

    Omega-3s may determine how long you’ll live – and it’s not just because they’re good for your heart.

    Omega-3s may now have a profound effect on anti-aging by slowing down the shortening of telomeres.

    What are telomeres? They’re protective tips that cap the ends of your DNA. Each time your cells divide, your telomeres get shorter. When your telomeres run down, cell division stops, and your life ends.

    While this may sound like a clip from a science fiction movie, it’s real. And it’s about to change the world of medicine. Everything you’ve been told about aging is about to be transformed by this new science.

    You may not have heard about this new breakthrough yet. That doesn’t surprise me.

    Will Vitamins Become Prescription Only?

    Your right to make choices about your own body is being challenged.

    I seldom, if ever, discuss politics with you. But this in one occasion when something needs to be said.

    There’s a new bill in Congress.

    If it passes, the FDA will have the right to permanently take away any vitamin or natural supplement it chooses. And once it’s gone, your access disappears… forever…

    He was a roofer. He was leaving a job site, climbed into his truck and turned the ignition. But as he was pulling out of the parking lot, his vision suddenly went blurry. “It’s like I just forgot how to drive. Then it got to where I couldn’t feel the right side of my body.” He clenched the steering wheel, but couldn’t move…

    Life Is Like a Box of Chocolates

    If you ate chocolate on Valentine’s Day, I have some news for you. You don’t have to feel guilty.

    In fact, I have evidence that you may have cut your risk from dying of a stroke nearly in half.

    Two studies give us great news about chocolate.

    The first study found that people who ate one serving of chocolate per week were 22% less likely to have a stroke.1

    The second study found that people who ate 50 grams of chocolate once a week were 46% less likely to die following a stroke than those who didn’t eat chocolate.2

    About 80% of strokes occur when there isn’t enough blood getting to the brain.3 Your brain is starved of oxygen and nutrients and begins to die immediately…
