Vitamin K2: Bones, Cardiovascular Health, Blood Sugar Control & Cancer Prevention
Vitamin K is an important antioxidant nutrient well known for its important assistance in the clotting of blood. It is also the target of the commonly over-prescribed Coumadin, adding to society-wide problems of vitami K deficiency. Ironically, such deficiency causes hardening of the arteries via increased calcification of arterial walls. Importantly, the lack of vitami K is a major factor in poor bone health and new science shows it is also important for blood sugar regulation.

Bone Health Can Help Prevent Obesity and Type 2 Diabetes
A unique strain of mouse was bred to have no insulin receptors on its bone-building osteoblasts, although it had insulin receptors every place else. The mouse became fat. As it aged it grew even fatter and its blood sugar levels shot up and it developed severe insulin resistance. The mouse was treated with osteocalcin and the problems reversed. Welcome to the new world of bones as a metabolic powerhouse. We are witnessing a major breakthrough in the subjects of both bone and metabolic health.

Quercetin as an Anti-Cancer Nutrient
Quercetin is a common flavonoid found in many fruits and plants. Numerous studies are now being published regarding quercetin’s anti-cancer properties. Some of these studies show how quercetin in and of itself provides significant anti-cancer activity. A number of other studies show how quercetin can be combined with chemo drugs to boost their effectiveness, especially in situations of drug resistance to treatment. The intelligence in every cell of your body is called NF-kappaB.

Vitamin E Protects Lungs from Damage
A new study in women over the age of 45 has shown that long-term, regular use of vitami E can lower the risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) by about 10 percent in both smokers and non-smokers. “The findings from our study suggest that increasing vitami E prevents COPD,” said Ms. Agler. “Previous research found that higher intake of vitami E was associated with a lower risk of COPD, but the studies were not designed to answer the question of whether increasing vitami E intake would prevent COPD.

The Addictive Nature of Compulsive Eating
Is there any difference between obsessive eating and drug addiction? The answer, as far as brain circuitry is conce ed, is no. Both problems are about reward circuitry in the brain gone awry. Pleasure is required for survival and pleasure is required for addiction – a conundrum of the highest order magnitude. The latest study to nail down the addictive nature of food comes from The Scripps Research Institute.

Poor Response to Exercise in Young Type 2 Diabetics
Type 2 diabetes is a difficult health problem because multiple aspects of calorie utilization simply don’t work properly.

DHA is now recognized as a superior nutrient for cardiovascular health, cognitive function, memory, mood, learning, vision quality (including protection against macular degeneration), bone health, fertility, cancer prevention, and inflammation reduction.

Olive Leaf Extract Offsets Stress of High Calorie Intake
It is ironic that food, which is so vital to survival, when consumed in excess is literally poison to your metabolism. Excess consumption of fat and carbohydrates rapidly leads to cardiovascular malfunction, liver malfunction, and numerous metabolic changes associated with easy weight gain and disease risk. A new animal study shows that the powerful antioxidant in olive leaf extract known as oleuropein is protective against the onset of many of these health issues. In the study rats were fed a high carbohydrate and high fat diet for 16 weeks, compared to a control diet.

How Imbalanced Digestive Bacteria Cause Obesity & Heart Disease
Science now reveals that the foreign contents within your digestive tract play a dramatic role in your energy level, metabolic function, body weight, and cardiovascular health. While it is not the only causative factor involved in obesity and the metabolic syndrome it is a significant contributing factor for virtually any overweight person – especially someone who has difficulty losing weight and keeping it off. This past week the national media attempted to cover the breaking news story that obesity was linked to the wrong type of bacteria in your stomach.

The Effects of Green Tea on Weight Management
Green tea is a rich source of polyphenol catechins. Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is the most active form of the catechins responsible for green tea’s antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and metabolic effects. Green tea also contains caffeine, which appears to act synergistically with EGCG to assist metabolism. A recent meta-analysis of all human green tea weight loss studies found that caffeine-containing green tea works best and produces a statistically significant reduction in body weight, body mass index, and waistline.

How to get started
Byron J. Richards is the author of three excellent books. He was the first to write a book for the public explaining the hormone leptin and its immense importance to weight loss and overall health, called Mastering Leptin (2002). In 2006 he wrote a shorter version of this book called The Leptin Diet, featuring 5 lifestyle guidelines for healthy weight management. These books are great guides for health—whether you are looking to lose weight, maintain a healthy weight, or improve overall wellness. Mastering Leptin is a top choice for those looking for more technical information about the hormone leptin and its relationship between other hormones and disease. In early 2006, Richards released Fight for Your Health, an expose revealing the collusion between the government and big corporate in regards to the food supply, pharmaceuticals, control over nutritional supplements, the FDA and more. We invite you to read all three!
