Multi-Vitamins Fight Depression in Elderly By Jean Carper

A multi-vitamin/mineral pill has the power to relievedepression in elderly patients, according to a newinternational study.

Acutely ill, older medical patients on a normal hospi-tal diet took either a supplement with 100% of theirvitamin/mineral daily needs or a placebo once dailyfor six weeks. Symptoms of depression—like sleepproblems, loss of appetite, fatigue, feelings ofworthlessness—improved in the multi-vitamin-takers after six weeks, regardless of their initiallevel of depression.

The findings are consistent with studies linking folateand vitamin B12 deficiency with depression.

A Different Approach to Weight Loss

Call Our Nutrition Experts at 800-627-9721

A lot of emphasis has been placed onavoiding fats in the diet, particularly saturat-ed fats. After all, fats are calorie-dense, con-taining about nine calories per gram, whileproteins and carbohydrates contain approx-imately four calories per gram. Constant,authoritative warnings to avoid fats havemade the public focus almost exclusively onreducing their fat intake. When examiningthe labels on foods, the first and often onlyconcern for many people is the saturated fatcontent. Accordingly, people pay less atten-tion to the calorie and sugar, or refined car-bohydrate, content of foods, and consumemore calories and more refined carbohy-drates as a trade off. This behavior coin-cides with the expansion of the public girth.

In the midst of the worldwide epidemics ofobesity and diabetes (diabesity), the realiza-tion finally hit home that it isn’t primarily thefat, but the calories and refined carbohy-drates that are the major culprits in theseepidemics.

Improving Insulin SensitivityIn order to help people develop a weight-loss program that is safe and efficient, I oftensteer them towards a class of weight-losssupplements that promote fat loss andmuscle gain in an interesting, somewhatindirect way—by improving the working ofthe insulin system. These supplements,which can also be used to help manage

Fight Off Unwanted Pounds with CLA

Imagine changing yourbody composition and fighting offunwanted pounds without exercising!According to a recent clinical trial, this isexactly what CLA (conjugated linoleicacid) can do. (Steck, SE et al. Journal ofNutrition. 2007. 137: 1188-1193.)

INTRODUCING OUR NEWEST CONTRIBUTING WRITER Harry Preuss, MD, MACN, CNS, is a pioneer in the field of human nutrition, and is one of the world's foremost experts on the use of dietary supplements to combat obesity. Dr. Preuss is a tenured professor at Georgetown Medical Center and is the author of

blood sugar in diabetics and hypo-glycemics, include trivalent chromium, popularized by the ChromeMate brand, and cinnamon extract, often sold under thename Cinnulin. They are known as “insulin sensitizers.”

Metabolic SyndromeAbout 40 years ago a British scientist,named John Yudkins, wrote a series of articles implicating the heavy consumptionof sugars in the increasing prevalence ofobesity and cardiovascular disease. Hedescribed the syndrome that we now referto as “metabolic syndrome” or pre-diabetes. Yudkin proposed the idea thatinsulin restistance is the silent precursor toconditions ranging from obesity and dia-betes to hypertension and atherosclerosis.

Insulin, a hormone produced by the pan-creas, helps the body’s fat, muscle and livercells convert glucose obtained from foodinto energy. Insulin resistance occurs whenthe body’s cells become unresponsive to insulin, and excess glucose builds up inthe bloodstream, setting the stage for metabolic syndrome—and weight gain.Certain refinedcarbohydrates are rapidlyabsorbed in the gastrointestinal tractand, when consumed in excess, canbring on insulin resistance by desensitiz-ing cells to insulin. Often, the pancreasbegins to produce more insulin in an

effort to regulate elevated blood glucoselevels, but eventually the pancreas losesits ability to produce sufficient amounts ofinsulin, which results in type 2 diabetes.

Research has shown that elevated insulinlevels can also result in high blood pressureand more advanced forms of cardiovascu-lar disease. It’s no wonder that many sup-plements now used in the war against obe-sity—widely-accepted to be a major riskfactor in the development of both diabetesand cardiovascular disease, the leadingcauses of death in the U.S.—are “insulinsensitizers” that work by helping peopleovercome the insulin resistant state. I haveinvestigated many of these in the laboratoryand via clinical studies and will discussthese in the upcoming articles.

The Anti-Aging Bottom Line: Living along healthy life and maintaining a healthybody weight go hand in hand. Naturalproducts can be instrumental in helpingyou achieve your weight-loss goals.However, it is important to understandthe role insulin resistance plays in weightgain in order to create an effectiveweight-loss regimen.

Stop Aging Now’s first-ever weight-loss formula,SynergySlim PLUS, combines five all-natural,non-stimulant ingredients which each play a dif-ferent role in helping you lose weight. Burn calo-ries, reduce fat, curb appetite, block carbs andbuild lean muscle - all at the same time!

CLA daily experienced an increase ofabout 1.4 pounds of lean body mass.They also didn’t participate in exercise,which suggests that the increase wasrelated to CLA supplementation, and notto physical activity.

The Anti-Aging Bottom Line: Pair CLAwith exercise if you really want to makesure you keep the pounds off and yourbody mobile. Both are effective at

improving your body composition andthe effects are cumulative when they’reused together. If you decide to supple-ment with CLA, take 1-2 grams withbreakfast, lunch and dinner.

Our CLA is made from 100% Tonalin brand CLA,the purest, most absorbable and mostresearched variety. And our extra strength dailydose of 3,000 mg corresponds with most clini-cal research.

Many people around theworld are not getting

enough vitamin D, and it’shaving a major impact on their health. Thatis the opinion of one of the U.S.’s leadingvitamin D experts, Michael Holick, M.D. Hecalls for the recommended daily intake to bequadrupled—to 800 IU/day of vitamin D.

For many years, what was considered a“normal” blood level of vitamin D was a levelthat prevented bone diseases caused by avitamin D deficiency. But research nowshows that much higher blood concentra-tions of vitamin D are necessary to preventmany health problems.

Vitamin D insufficiency has been found inpeople with chronic pain, fibromyalgia,depression, osteoarthritis, rheumatoidarthritis, low bone density and multiplesclerosis, and may contribute to those

By Gale Maleskey, MS, RDVitamin E Will Help You Keep Strong as You AgeIf you want to stay strong as you age,you have to work at it. And you cansupport your efforts by getting enoughvitamin E.

A new study found that blood levels ofvitamin E were a strong predictor ofhow well people performed physicallyas they got older. In people ages 70-80, low vitamin E increased the oddsof physical decline by 60%.

Researchers say that it is possible toget enough vitamin E to avoid losing

physical abilities by eating vitamin E-richfoods like nuts, seeds, whole grains andunrefined vegetable oils. (Bartali, et al.JAMA 2008;299(3):308-315.) But in real-ity, most people don’t get enough vitaminE to provide optimum antioxidant protec-tion unless they take supplements.

Previous research has found that 1,000IUs a day of supplemental vitamin E canreduce soreness, inflammation andweakness in aging muscles. Long-termuse of lower doses (400-800 IU) a day

may give exercisers the same benefits,researchers think.

You can build bypassesaround blockages by

walking. Let me repeat that. Your bodyhas the ability to widen and connectcollateral blood vessels so that they canreroute some of the blood flow around ablockage in the heart.

There’s only one thing your bodyrequires to make this happen, exercise.When you exercise you increase bloodflow through coronary arteries.Increased pressure in those arteriesstimulates collateral blood vessels toelongate, widen and form new connec-tions. Growing new collateral bloodvessels is no joke; it can ease chestpain, limit heart attack damage,

Do-It-Yourself Bypass Surgery By Staff Writer Maggie Spilner

By Staff Writer Maggie Spilner10 Ways to Keep Your Knees Strong and Pain-FreeI recently reviewed a compelling book TheArthritis Cure by Jason Theodorasakis,MD. Here is his “recipe” for arthritis pre-vention and relief.

1. Do exercises that strengthen quads toreinforce knees.

2. Use low weight and high repetitions.

3. When doing squats, lunges, or legpresses, avoid locking knees completely.

4. Walk or run with the correct form.

5. Invest in a good pair of shoes thatcushion the impact on knees.

6. Back off from activities such as walkinghills or knee-bending exercises thatcause you pain.

The Anti-AgingBottom Line:Exercise can meanthe differencebetween havingbypass surgery ornot if you alreadyhave narrowedcoronary arteries.The January 2008Harvard HeartLetter asks, “Why

not give yourself a natural bypass beforeyou need a surgeon to perform a morepainful and hazardous one?”

Check out our Multi Nutrient Formula withCholesterol Support.

7. Stretch adequately, emphasizing quadand hamstring muscles. Warm upbefore stretching.

8. Consider preventative useof a high quality glu-cosamine and chon-droitin supplement.

9. Avoid longterm over-the-counter (OTC) orprescription painkillers.These might damagejoint health, even if theytemporarily relieve pain.

10. Maintain a healthy weight.

Note: Always see a doctor if you expe-rience knee pain that is not relieved by

The first concluded that curcumininduced tumor cell death, meaning that itprevented cancer cells from multiplying

and spreading throughout the body. (LiaoYF, et al. Life Sci. 2007 Dec 7:Epubahead of print.) The second report con-cluded that doses up to 12 grams of cur-cumin is safe for humans. (Steward WP,et al. Mol Nutr Food Res. 2008 Jan9:Epub ahead of print.)

The Anti-Aging Bottom Line: You canincrease your intake of curcumin by eat-

ing more curried dishes, but know this:there is only 3% to 6% curcumin inturmeric. Luckily, curcumin is available insupplemental form. We recommend tak-ing 20 mg to 200 mg per day of a stan-dardized extract.

Each of our Multi Nutrient Formulas contain 20mg of curcumin standardized to 95% curcum-inoids. Our Brain Energizer Formula contains afull 200 mg of standardized curcumin.
