How Important Is Knowledge and Experience To Your Health?

Knowledge and experience usually comes up when having work done on your car or having someone check out your electric heater or when selecting a doctor to operate on you or a dentist to repair or work on your teeth. Where can you go to find a source of knowledge and experience to find the best preventive health supplements? Medical treatment training is treating with drugs. For the concerned folks who don't know better may find themselves searching the internet or listening to their best friends experience with the medical system or over the counter supplements at the grocery or drug store. Many folks don't understand that there is a difference between high quality products and less expensive supplements that may be found in mail order catalogs, internet, drug stores and grocery stores.

Suggestions To Support Healthy Aging!

Most people want to maintain their bodily function well into their later years. Whether imbalances are caused by genetic predisposition, by normal wear and tear on our bodies, or by environmental and lifestyle factors, the proper nutrients can compensate and help our bodies maintain their dynamic homeostasis.

The following nutritional compounds have been scientifically shown to be among the most powerful in maintaining healthy balance among the metabolic systems. This metabolic balancing act is at the heart of healthy aging. Biological aging can be seen as a slow and steady loss of function in our body's systems. For a multitude of reasons--environmental, dietary, attitudinal, metabolic, or genetic--small changes and diminishment of function begin to appear.

Because of the systemic, interactive nature of the human body, these suboptimal imbalances, if left unchecked, begin to spread, generating alternating biochemistry and increasingly suboptimal health. Through controlling and optimizing what we ingest, our environment, and the use of some of the following powerful but natural compounds, the slippery slope of ever-increasing systemic imbalance can be slowed or for a while, held in check, thereby maintaining a healthy equilibrium.

The following compounds have been shown to have significant benefits for healthy aging.

CoQ10 is a powerful antioxidant and a necessary co-enzyme for the final step of producing ATP, the energy molecule in the mitochondria. It's critical for organs demanding high energy use: the heart, the brain, the liver, the muscles and metabolism in general.

Alpha-Lipoic Acid is a unique antioxidant in that it neutralizes both water and fat-soluble free radicals. It helps recycle spent vitamins C and E back to their antioxidant activity. Lipoic acid sensitizes cells to the blood sugar delivery of insulin. It is a component of the enzymes that start the Krebs Cycle for ATP energy.

Acetyl L-Carnitine is needed to carry fatty acids into the mitochondria of the cell to become the fuel for ATP, used to catalyze almost every metabolic chemical action in the body. It is also instrumental in producing the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. It is used by nerve cells to send messages that help memory, learning, concentration and to signal muscles to move.

SAMe is a molecule that aids thousands of compounds that are critical to neurotransmitter generation for a positive mood, liver detoxification, and joint health. It also binds to DNA and protects them from toxins and keeps the majority of them quiet as they need to be.

AHCC is a blend of polysaccharides and glycoproteins from five bio-enhanced mushrooms, including shiitake, developed and tested in Japan. It has the unique ability to increase the activity of important immune cells and compounds like macrophages and particularly, Natural Killer cells. A strong immune system is a wise strategy that enables us to respond to threats throughout our lives from outside invaders or imbalanced cellular metabolism.

Nattokinase is a systemic enzyme derived from the Japanese soy based food, natto. It can break down the blood protein fibrin that forms clots which tend to thicken the blood and are part of the metabolic inflammation process.

I Flora is a probiotic that contains acidophilus and bifidus which are important components of the intestines that is critical for digestive and overall health. They produce B vitamins and crowd out harmful bacteria like candida albacans and may help lower systemic inflammation. Very important to take if you have been on any antibiotics.

HGH or human growth hormone is helpful in maintaining youthful metabolism. It helps to keep body fat low, muscles and bones strong, and the skin toned. The compounds in HGH help to produce and release growth hormone.

Glucosamine is an amino acid bound to a sugar that is a basic building block of connective tissue. It provides structure and form to our bodies. It is a critical component of cartilage, tendons, ligaments, synovial fluid, mucous membranes, and healthy skin.

That Miracle Mineral is Magnesium. The claim that magnesium deficiency doubles your chances of death is quite genuine. The finding came from a study published in The Journal of Intensive Care Medicine. But the conclusion comes as no surprise to leading experts in the field. They agree that magnesium is critical to long life and good health.

"Magnesium deficiency triggers 22 conditions," says Dr. Carolyn Dean, M.D. As a magnesium expert, she should know. She has led medical research on the subject for over 30 years. She currently serves as the Medical Director of the Nutritional Magnesium Association and wrote The Magnesium Miracle.

Among the 22 conditions that magnesium deficiency can cause, she lists anxiety, diabetes, heart disease, and migraines. And she notes that "the introduction of magnesium can help alleviate these conditions."

Chakra Energy Candles

Chakra energy candles combine metaphysics with aromatherapy and can facilitate psychic and physical healing. They are enhanced with essential oil blends selected for their aromatherapy benefits relative to balancing each chakra. As the chakra energy candles burn they release beneficial, therapeutic vapors.

Thought For The Day:

In his book, The Biology of Belief, Dr. Lipton explains the foundation of epigenetics, and how the true secret to life does not lie within your DNA, but rather within the mechanisms of the cell membrane. In this way - which is contrary to conventional medical science - it is actually the cell's membrane - operating in response to environmental signals picked up by the membrane's receptors - that control the "reading" of the genes inside.

It means that you are not controlled by your genetic makeup. Instead, your genetic readout (which genes are turned "on" and which are turned "off") is primarily determined by your thoughts, attitudes, and perceptions! The major problem with believing the myth that your genes control your life is that you become a victim of your heredity. Since you can't change your genes, it essentially means that your life is predetermined, and therefore you have very little control over your health. With any luck, modern medicine will find the gene responsible and be able to alter it, or devise some other form of drug to modify your body's chemistry, but aside from that, you're out of luck...

The new science, however, reveals that your perceptions control your biology, and this places you in the role of Master, because if you can change your perceptions, you can shape and direct your own genetic readout.

It places you in the power position, for better or worse. This is a wonderful day...Enjoy!
