Superfoods to add to your diet, Today!

January 17th, 2012 at 6:13 pm

Healthy Food Healthy Body!

Deciding what to incorporate into your diet may be difficult with all of the items on the market but certain foods are considered to be the best for your health. Several authorities recommend the folowing ten foods that should be included in everyone's diet because they contain phytonutrients and vitamins which are known to decrease the risk of certain cancers, prevent heart disease and boost your immune system. These items are also good choices because a small volume of these has huge health benefits. Check out these high octane super foods. If you need help with healthy eating be sure to schedule an appointment.

Although the pear shaped nut doesn't look like it can offer much; a palm full of almonds is an average serving offering nutrients such as fiber, riboflavin, magnesium, iron and calcium. The almond has more calcium than any other nut and one serving will provide 1/2 the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) of vitamin E. They are also great to curb hunger and handful of these before a meal will keep you from over eating.

Apples seem to be a favorite among kids and adults and often it's being eaten without realizing the amazing health benefit of the glossy fruit. Apples contain pectin, a soluble fiber, that can lower cholesterol and blood sugar levels. It is also packed with vitamin C which is great antioxidant.

Another small fruit, blueberries, are worth their weight in antioxidants and phytonutrients. This bright color fruit is similar to that of a cranberry and can help ward off urinary tract infections. It's also low on the glycemic index making it a good fruit addition for someone who is doing a low carbohydrate diet, or who has diabetes.

Broccoli should be incorporated into the diet on a regular basis due to it's high content of antioxidants and phytonutrients. These nutrients are a combination of compounds that help with chronic disease and contains calcium and potassium. Broccoli is a strong cancer fighter and cancer preventer.

Although red beans are full of phytonutrients which may help disease beans are also loaded with vitamins such as iron, magnesium, and potassium. Red beans are also great for vegan eating because they are high in protein and fiber but low in calories.

Essential Fatty acids (EFA's) are not created in the body so what better source than salmon to get a dose of omega-3 fatty acids. Salmon is a great source of protein and the omega-3's are great for a healthy heart. These EFA's have been noted to help decrease blood clots that could be the cause of heart attacks.

Spinach may look like just another leafy vegetable, but it's a great way to increase your immune system. This little leaf is high in folate, vitamin A and C, as well as, helps to keep your hair and skin healthy.

The orange color of a sweet potato is the first sign it's rich in beta carotene. This antioxidant is known for aiding in slowing the aging process and can possibly reduce the risks of some cancers. One small sweet potato only has 54 calories and is a complex carbohydrate making it a good source of sustained energy.

Green juices are a great source of getting many awesome nutrients into your diet, especially if you prefer not to eat vegetables. Tomato juice has antioxidants such as lycopene which is good for the prostate, reducing cardiovascular disease and some forms of cancer. Most commercial products have way too much sodium. My top selling Green's First is a wonderful source of the best nutrients available and a little goes a long way.

Wheat germ is actually the small center of the wheat seed that is responsible for growth of the new sprout. It's full of vitamins and nutrients and even has protein, fiber and some fat.

I'd prefer organic forms of these foods but if that is too pricey regular is FINE!

See you next week!

10 ways to $ave money and improve your health

December 6th, 2011 at 11:18 pm

As Ben Franklin stated years ago, " the first wealth is health"....yet far too few people realize it. Many people, if not most, scrimp on health services the minute things get tight or other opportunities to spend money arise... I E the holidays? This week's topic is how to conserve money and improve your health at the same time.

#1: Recognize how expensive sickness is....illness costs money, doctor bills, surgeries, medications, tests, anesthetics, and transporatation and time to fufill these interventions are cripplingly expensive and that is before one even begins to think about the pain and suffering of being sick. Traditional Chinese medicine and tradition had folks pay their Chinese doctors when they were well not sick, that way they were accountable for doing a good job.

#2 Recognize that being less than optimally well has, in economic terms, an "opportunity cost". That is: what could you be doing if you were in wonderful health? Earn more, be more,love more, do more with your life. When counselling clients I often refer to building up their health banks. Life events can inexplicably cause large withdrawals of our health banks but investing in one's health means that you can weather those withdrawals without going bankrupt.

#3 Health is not an entitlement. Like everything else in life....you get what you deserve and what you work for. That doesn't mean that each chapter of life is fair...but in the longer run it is.

#4 Eat a lot less and eat alot more nutritiously. Fast food becomes very expensive and very inconvenient when you factor in the destruction it does to your waistline, the wrinkles you'll have, how you may have to retire early because you're perceived as "old", the cholesterol lowering & diabetes medications you need etc. You do not need an expensive diet program when simple changes you can make at home will have you eating better, enjoying it more and saving money and your health at the same time. Eating seasonal foods saves alot of money... for instance: right now we are eating alot of acorn and spaghetti squash. My dog LOVES squash and sweet potatoes as part of his diet...he refuses dog "treats" now that he is accustomed to better food.

#5 Concerned about "organic" food prices check out sales and join a coop. Even Whole Foods has terrific weekly sales on staples and organic meats that make them par with other markets and the toxic burden, nutritional value, and cost to the environment makes them superior choices for us all. As I've started to vocalize lately, American's focusing only on price has turned us into a nation of imported junk from China....it's UH cheap though

#6 Eat out less...you will lose weight, eat much better, and have more energy and save big money if you pack a lunch or bring healthy leftovers to work. I cook foods everyday and once a week or so make large quantities of chili or stew or soups and freeze them. They are even more delicious this way.

#7 Take the money you spend on cable and buy a gym membership. If you're like me, you'll make great friends, get in shape, and be far more engaged in wellness, and like minded people who either are or are in the process of getting in great shape.

#8 Focus your dollars. Most of the people I see visit multiple practioners and spend lots of money for myriad services when really only one or two are altering their health. Figure out where you are getting the most benefit and be loyal there. I really extend myself for loyal customers who are loyal to my clinic. Copays for unecessary visits add up quickly.

Combine services in one day to receive a discount. This is a program I'll begin in Janurary.

#9 Take advantage of discounts. I run specials and coupons every month and very few people take advantage of them. Very few of you have joined me on Facebook and Twitter and the purpose of having these pages was to be able to communicate some great savings opportunities quickly. Values are there but you have to be conscious to take advantage of them and think or even spend in advance at times but the savings are there. Read the emails of businesses you frequent you'd be surprised at what may be available to you and your family.

#10 Focus on one health challenge at a time. This enables you and I to get results much more quickly, and results in less expenditure than trying to fix everything at once. I prefer to focus on the most serious issue first and move forward from there.

Want to save even more money on supplements?? visit our store, FREE shipping and great prices and even volume discounts on products like Douglas, Pure Encapsulations, Thorne and Metagenics!

You'll be receiving an email of Apple-A-Day Clinic's specials shortly. Some of you will also be receiving gift certificates in the mail in January because you have been such exemplary clients.

Please put your health and wellbeing above dollars and you'll manage to have both.

All About Alopecia....HEALTHY HAIR

November 29th, 2011 at 7:31 pm

A few years ago my client had a small bald spot on her head, which had quickly progressed. This was definitely a very traumatic experience for her. When she came to see me I quickly returned her to her medical doctor concerned she might have had a medical problem. She went to the doctor and we were very relieved when she was diagnosed with idiopathic alopecia. At that point, I was able to question her regarding her life and stress habits and learned that she was under an enormous amount of work stress. I gave her acupuncture to relieve her stress and some vitamins which were getting depleted. A few weeks after that conversation, the spot was completely covered in hair and we soon forgot the whole matter.

Since many men and women are concerned about hair loss, and see me about it. I decided to devote a Forum to the topic.

Hair Facts 101

Our hair is made of a protein called keratin.
A hair consists in a hair shaft (what we see), a root below the skin, and a follicle from which the hair roots grows.
The hair's color pigment, or melanin is produced at the hair bulb which is located at the lower end of the follicle.
A 50 to 100 loss of hair per day is considered normal. Any amount of hair over that, might mean that something is wrong.
Hair loss is directly connected to stress either physical or mental, sometimes that stress is caused by excessive work, family problems or major illness or surgeries.
Hair loss can be caused by hormonal problems, and correcting the hormone imbalance may stop the hair loss. Hormones problems can be caused by an overactive or underactive thyroid gland. This can happen with men the same way that with women due to an imbalance of the androgen(male hormones) or estrogen(female hormones)
Hair loss can seem excessive after 3 months of giving birth, this is also a hormone fluctuation; during pregnancy high level of specific hormones usually cause the body to keep the hair that was supposed to fall naturally. So is considered normal that when the hormones acquire the pre pregnancy levels, that hair falls and starts the natural growth and loss cycle.
Hair loss is caused by the use of certain medicines or treatments, specially blood thinner medicines (anticoagulants), gout medicines, chemotherapy medicines (used for cancer treatment), Vit A (in big amounts) as well as birth control pills and antidepressants. Hair loss should stop when you stop taking the medicines or doing the treatment. You should communicate your concerns to your physician and he can suggest you a change of medicines or treatment that won't cause hair loss.
Hair loss can be caused by yeast or fungal infections of the scalp, or auto immune disorders.
Hair loss can be caused by the use of tight pigtails, cornrows, hair rollers and well as by hot oil treatment or chemicals frequently used in permanents (perms). This kind of hair loss is called traction alopecia and can stop when the pulling and the use of chemicals stop.
One kind of hair loss called alopecia areata is caused by the person's own immune system. This autoimmune disease starts in small round bald patches on the scalp and can get bigger in some cases. The hair often grows back naturally within the year but those patients might experience that kind of alopecia again.
Hair loss can be caused by poor nutrition. Anorexic and bulimic people lose their hair because their body doesn't get the necessary proteins, vitamins and minerals needed to make the hair grow. Vegetarian persons can also experience hair loss if they don't get enough proteins from non-meat resources.
A very frequent kind of alopecia commonly called male-pattern is actually called androgenic alopecia. This might be caused not only by genetic factors but by a combination of many other factors including hormones usually excess testosterone. There is an excellent supplement formula which combats this over a period of three to four months.It is also common in people who take steroids.
You can benefit and take good care of your hair by eating a balanced, healthy diet. Any one of a number of nutrient deficiencies can cause hair loss.
You should avid rubbing your hair too vigorously with the towel, you should let it dry naturally.
If you are experiencing hair loss or you have a genetic factor that might cause you hair loss, you should avoid using a blow dryer or if is absolutely necessary then use it on a lowest heat setting.
Is better to style your hair when dry or damp, if you do it while your hair is wet, it can stretch and easily break.
Avoid the use of chemicals if you have experiencing hair loss.
If you are about to start chemicals for your hair, like straighteners or color, you should try first on a small spot on the back to check for allergies and hair loss, then after a few days proceed to the application to your whole head.

Visit our Healthy Hair Aisle of our store for excellent natural interventions for hair loss we also have a beautiful skin beautique for healthy skin! Visit our hair loss aisle right here: at our natural pharmacy! Some of my favorite solutions are right here***************************************************************************************************************

Natural solutions to hair loss involve identifying the underlying cause and supporting the body's health so that it is reflected in the hair. Mesotherapy acupuncture involving follicle stimulation and nutrients applied to the scalp has been very helpful for several of my clients which I have performed weekly for a period of two to three months has hastened the growth process. I learned about this first hand after my sunscreen debacle a couple of years ago….

Thanks!

A type of ADD you probably have but have never even HEARD of....

November 15th, 2011 at 6:28 pm

The type of ADD you've never even HEARD OF:

In keeping with November and Thanksgiving is a topic few of you have heard of...I actually have named it and have become increasingly aware that not only do I suffer from it, but many of you do...and it's an insidious dark force that will ruin alot of what could be going well in our lives...

I've named it "Appreciation Deficit Disorder" and it's a different type of ADD that the one we're used to hearing about and probably far more common than most of you would ever realize.

We've come to expect so much from ourselves, the world and others that often we spend most of our time in some type of discontented state and this is a source of stress. Unfortunately, if our thoughts continually go towards what is wrong in our lives our bodies produce lots of stress chemicals...

How to cultivate that "attitude of gratitude", we've all heard about...

Yes, counting our blessings is a great start...and here are some other suggestions:

Here is how to cultivate an attitude of gratitude.

1. Get perspective. Have you ever done much traveling? When you fly in an airplane and watch the ascent, you see how little your town really looks from above the clouds. For the nervous or new flyer, the worries of everyday life can melt away as the mind focuses on whether the flight will arrive without incident. After the landing, even the grumpiest individuals are often filled with gratitude for safety. It is all in perspective. You can choose to focus on what you do not have, or make a conscious effort to notice what you do have. If you cannot see it, get a new view.

“True thanksgiving means that we need to thank God for what He has done for us, and not to tell Him what we have done for Him.” George R. Hendrick

2. Count your blessings. Name them, list them, draw them, but count them. To truly feel gratitude as part of a lifestyle of a grateful heart, you have to acknowledge your blessings. “The hardest arithmetic to master is that which enables us to count our blessings.” Eric Hoffer

A note for those healing from sudden tragedy or trauma. There is a grief process, and as it says in Ecclesiastes, there is a time for everything. You need time to get over the shock and sadness, but do not let yourself get stuck in it. If a marathon runner were suddenly shot and bleeding from a life-threatening wound, would you talk at him and tell him just to smile and run faster? No, you would get him to a hospital to heal. He is still a great runner. You can develop an attitude of gratitude, and be truly grateful inside. But if you need a moment to heal, it is okay, you will run again later (and people will once again see your positive outlook that is temporarily obscured). Let God comfort you as you heal.

3. Give thanks- show your attitude in word or deed. “Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.” William A. Ward

Recognizing the efforts of others helps them feel appreciated. It is interesting that we should want to help those we cherish the most feel the best, but in reality the reverse often happens. Many times, we neglect to thank those closest to us (especially when we see their actions as part of an expected role). Instead, we remember to thank casual acquaintances we see while running errands. Both are important. Give thanks to those who make your life easier during the day, but also express your gratitude to those you care about the most. I

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank many of you for trusting me with the most important aspect of your life that of your health and your families! Thank you for your loyalty and trust in me!

If you can, please take advantage of this month's visit promotion....I am grateful that I've been able to see some people I've not seen in a awhile and others I'd probably never met if I were not running this promotion and in this mind set...Have a week and I hope to see you soon!

The AWFUL truth about COQ10

November 2nd, 2011 at 4:37 pm

The AWFUL truth about COQ10!

The many health benefits of taking Coenzyme Q10 - increased energy, improved metabolism, weight loss, cell protection, and better cardiovascular health - are already well established.1

In fact, research shows CoQ10 may promote neurological health as well.1

Yet many patients I talk to in my practice tell me they don't feel any different after they start taking CoQ10.

When they show me the bottle, I immediately know why.

As it happens, most of the CoQ10 they are taking never makes it to their cells where it can do the most good.

In fact, most people over 50 have a hard time converting CoQ10 into its usable form. The lion's share of the valuable CoQ10 enzyme disappears - making it impossible to give your cells the protection and nourishment they need.

Fortunately,the products we sell are bioavailable! meaning: it actually gets absorbed into your bloodstream and delivered to your cells!*

Which of these CoQ10 supplements is in your medicine chest?

The trouble with most brands of commercially available CoQ10 supplements is that they use a cheaper form of the enzyme - that is extremely difficult for your body to absorb.

So the label says the pill contains X amount of CoQ10. And it probably does. But only a tiny fraction of that is actually absorbed by your body. The rest is passed as waste, and is in fact wasted - never reaching the cell membranes and walls where it is needed most.

, cell protection, better cardiovascular health and weight loss are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the health benefits my patients and I receive by taking our CoQ10 daily

Here are just some of the other ways you can live longer and feel better:

Heart health... according to the Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology, a number of clinical studies have found CoQ10 promotes cardiovascular health.5
Blood sugar... an Australian study showed that patients who took CoQ10 were able to maintain blood sugar levels that are already within the normal range.6
Vision... in a recent clinical trial, taking CoQ10 for a year helped them see more clearly.7
Cognition... an animal study performed at Johns Hopkins University found that CoQ10 supplementation improves learning and memory.7
Bronchial Health... researchers in Texas found CoQ10 promotes bronchial health.7
Gum health... CoQ10 can improve gum and oral health.7
Clear-headed comfort... in one study, more than 6 out of 10 patients treated with CoQ10 daily reported feeling more clear-headed comfort.7
Oxidative stress... CoQ10 is a powerful antioxidant, eliminating the free radicals that can cause damage to cell membranes and mitochondria.3
Skin care... a German study shows that CoQ10 can help reduce wrinkles and protect skin from the damaging effects of too much exposure to sunlight.8

We know from years of research that CoQ10 has a direct effect on human metabolism and physiology. I've seen the evidence of clinical tests first-hand. And I've seen the effects in my patients.

May I share a secret with you? Most of the products you are buying at retailers have no bioavailability whatsoever and you are in fact wasting your money!!!! This is in fact the truth regarding most products and the quality differential is even more startling with herbal products! The old adage, "you get what you pay" for certainly applies here....

The BEST Co Q-10 we have is right here take advantage of our prices and discounts. Here is the link to the Co-Q-10-50 mgs, and 200 mgs

More IMPORTANT NEWS about Alzheimer's and memory loss PREVENTION

October 18th, 2011 at 8:21 pm

B Vitamins Can Reduce Brain Shrinkage and , (MCI)-mild cognitive impairment!

High daily doses of B-6, B-12 and foliSlow Dementia in Cases of Mild Cognitive Impairmentc acid can cut the rate of brain shrinkage in half in older people with cognitive decline, according to a newly released two-year clinical trial done by scientists at Oxford University. Vitamin B supplementation could also slow down the progression toward dementia in folks with mild cognitive impairment, (MCI) the researchers found.¹

This makes perfect sense because these B vitamins are co-factors for the enzymes involved in the metabolism of homocysteine. Homocysteine is an amino acid in the blood, and is a major risk factor for brain atrophy, cognitive impairment, dementia and coronary artery disease. Ultimately plasma concentrations of homocysteine are determined by your vitamin B status.²

An earlier report from scientists at Boston University showed that people with elevated levels of homocysteine in the blood (levels above 14 micromoles per liter of serum) had nearly double the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease (AD). That study of a group of people participating in the long-running Framingham Study appeared in the February 14, 2002, issue of The New England Journal of Medicine, and was the first to tie homocysteine levels measured several years before with later diagnosis of AD and other dementias.³

In an interview with Reuters News, the scientists from Oxford University said their recent two-year clinical trial was the largest to date into the effect of B vitamins on MCI.⁴

What is Mild Cognitive Impairment?

Mild cognitive impairment is defined as cognitive decline greater than expected for an individual's age and education level. MCI affects between 3% to 19% adults older than 65 years, and manifests as slight problems with memory loss, language, arithmetic, and other mental functions. MCI is defined as not interfering with normal daily life, but if you can't remember where you parked your car, or how to figure out a tip on a restaurant bill, then it definitely is going to impact your life somewhat.

Some people with mild cognitive impairment seem to remain stable or return to normal over time, but more than half develop dementia—usually of the Alzheimer's type—within 5 years.⁵ And contrary to the misconception that Alzheimer's is just severe memory loss, it is in fact a terminal disease.

The Oxford Study

This two-year study included 168 volunteers with MCI who were given either a placebo or a daily nutritional supplement containing very high doses of folic acid (0.8mg), vitamin B6 (20mg) and vitamin B12 (0.5mg), or a placebo.¹

Brain scans with an MRI were taken at the beginning and end of the trial to measure the rate of brain atrophy. The results, published in the Public Library of Science (PLoS) One journal, showed that on average the brains of those taking the vitamin treatment shrank at a rate of 0.76 percent a year, while those taking the placebo had average brain shrinkage of 1.08 percent.¹

People who had the highest levels of homocysteine at the start of the trial benefited the most from OUR OWN TRIB100 is the perfect proprietary supplement for the abovethe treatment, with their brains shrinking at half the rate of those on the placebo.⁴

It's important to note that the vitamins given during the trial were given in extremely high doses. The pills contained approximately 300 times the recommended daily intake of B12, four times daily advised folate levels and 15 times the recommended amount of B6.

Although the trial was not designed to measure cognitive ability, the researchers found those people who had lowest rates of shrinkage had the highest scores in mental tests.⁴

This study is significant and lends hope for the millions of people around the world who are at risk for developing mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease. I recommend our own TriB100 right here! FREE Shipping!
