      Omega-3 in orange juice?

      March 5, 2007 /

      Omega-3 fatty acids have become all the rage over the last 3 years with good reason. Some of Omega-3’s benefits include the following:

      Prevents depression
      Used to treat bipolar disorder
      Improves immunity
      Counteracts autoimmune diseases
      Prevents and treats cancer
      Protects our brains
      Fights cardiovascular disease
      Prevents and treats arrhythmia
      Essential for healthy cell walls

      There was a time when omega-3 fatty acids could be found in high concentrations in many different foods like beef and dairy. This is back when farmers supplied local consumers and their animals fed on their natural foods. The vast majority of animals in the U.S. that are raised for human consumption unfortunately are fed garbage like soy and corn, which yields products with sub par nutritional value.

      So where do you turn for your omega-3’s? Without a doubt the best sources for omega-3’s are from fish oils. However food giants would like you to believe otherwise. According to USAToday.com omega-3 showed up in 120 new food products in 2005, and in 2006 it showed up in around 250. Omega-3 fatty acids are being added to everything from yogurt to orange juice. Why? Money. It’s a marketing dream for the food industry ever since the Food and Drug Administration and the American Heart Association gave omega-3 the thumbs up.

      Looking at the track record of the food industry in this country do you really think they take your health into consideration? Hell no.

      More sun, less cancer.

      February 8, 2007 /

      We heard it for years, “sunlight causes cancer”.? Well, in an article by William Douglas, MD. In the Fall 2006 edition of Wise Traditions, you learn that this may not be necessarily true.? In fact, two studies in the Journal of National Cancer Institute show that increased sun exposure not only reduces the incidence of one cancer, it increases the survival rate of another.

      What is it about sunlight that’s so beneficial? Vitamin D production.

      Among whites in the U.S. there is a striking difference in the number of cases of many types of cancer-breast, prostate and colon, for example-between the northern latitudes and the southern latitudes.? The higher the latitude in which you live, the more likely you are to die of cancer.? In other words, New York bad, Birmingham good.? And what’s the major difference between New York and Birmingham?? New York gets a whole lot less sunshine.

      What excessive sun exposure does do is cause injury to the inner layer of the skin, the dermis, which in turn, leads to wrinkling of the outer layer, the epidermis.? If you’re thinking that that happens with age (regardless of the sun), you’re right.? But sun exposure can speed up the process, causing the skin to age prematurely and to become loose and leathery.? This is called solar elastosis.

      When researchers at the University of New Mexico investigated melanoma, they found a marked decrease in the disease in patients with solar elastosis.? (This information is from one of the two studies talked about in the article.)

      I guess this starts to explain why melanomas are usually found on the body, “where the sun doesn’t shine”.????

      Should body builders skip supplements?

      January 18, 2007 /

      There was an interesting article published online at American Chronicle.com about whether or not bodybuilders should?skip supplements in 2007.

      The basic idea behind the article was to dispel any rumors that bodybuilders absolutely need to take supplements. They don’t. Like the article details, you can still gain muscle with proper diet and exercise without ever touching a supplement. However, using supplements can in fact, do as they say, and “supplement” your diet.

      The supplement quandary is along the same lines of when people try to go to the far ends of the earth to find the perfect workout?routine or diet. If you have the money, the basic supplements can offer a great boost to your overall workout gains. Just don’t get caught up in all the hype of having to have the “latest and greatest”.

      The American Chronicle article highlights the five basic supplements that bodybuilders should consider if they want to maximize their workout gains:

      1) Whey Protein?

      2) Creatine?

      3) Glutamine?

      4) High-Potency Multivitamin?

      5) Essential Fatty Acids?

      Extreme Fat Loss

      September 30, 2006 /

      A few years back when the FDA in all its ignorance banned ephedrine and all like products, many thousands of people including myself went into a state of depression.? The ephedrine, caffeine, aspirin stack was and still is by far the most effective fat burner ever.??

      With ephedrine being pulled off the shelves manufacturers started puking product after product trying to claim their share of the fat burner market.? These products came with ads claiming all the benefits of ephedrine along with practically being able to cure cancer.? It was pretty disgusting actually.? And of course, literally all new fat burners fell on their face with only a few having a slight benefit.

      Enter Hotrox Extreme.? This is the product I’ve been using for about 4 months and am very impressed.? If your looking for a fat burner that actually works?? And who’s not?? Extreme Hotrox is it.??
