Forever Young: The Perfect Drink

Did You Know?

Green tea has:

  • The amino acid called theonine, a natural relaxant that won’t make you drowsy.
  • High levels of antioxidants that act as anti-inflammatories, and are protective for skin, the brain, and all our organs
  • High levels of an important polyphenol antioxidant, epigallocatechinallate (EGCG), which is believed to be responsible for much of green tea’s promise in the prevention of cardiovascular disease, obesity, Alzheimer’s, cancer, periodontal disease and dental cavities.

Tip – Try adding a sprinkle of cinnamon to your green tea to add flavor and help stabilize blood sugar!

Forever Young: The Future is Now

Scientists working on the human genome project talk of a bright future for genetic manipulation, one that will someday change our life for the better.  But I am telling you that right now, today, the rainbow foods that are gracing our dinner table, in all of their colorful, flavorful and aromatic glory, hold the key in turning on the protective, restorative genes and turning off the damaging genes.  As might be expected, the pro-inflammatory foods turn off the protective genes and turn on the damaging ones.  As children, we can get away with quite a bit and not have it show up on our face or body.  However, as we age, our bodies are not so forgiving, and all of these pro-inflammatory foods manifest in a very visible manner: puffy eyes, wrinkled, sagging skin, enlarged pores, discolorations, dullness, acne, loss of youthful contours and so forth.

Forever Young: The Superstar Berry

Blueberries contain many powerful polyphenols that make them a true superfood.  We know they are rich in polyphenols such as anthocyanins, which have multiple benefits, including the following:

  • The ability to speed up neural communication.  Blueberry-supplemented neurons have a better ability to communicate with each other.
  • Cathechins contained in blueberries prevent cell death and the loss of nerve growth factors.
  • The ability to protect from age-associated declines in dopamine levels, helping us to maintain youthful brain function.

Tip – Add blueberries to your breakfast cereal, yogurt, oatmeal or smoothie to give your day a healthy boost.

Forever Young: Risky Business

With obesity on the rise in America, weight loss has become a national obsession.  We are awash in a confusing myriad of different weight loss programs and hundreds of weight loss supplements on the market today.  Unfortunately, rather than waning, obesity appears to be on the rise.  And so it is no surprise that we are a nation obsessed with dieting, diet books, diet foods, and diet fads.  Our quest for weight loss is as unending as it is unsuccessful.

In Forever Young, we will learn how to say goodbye to body fat while maintaining muscle and bone health, two factors that can deteriorate when exposed to certain weight loss programs.  We will also unlock the secret of body fat with something I refer to as nothing short of a ‘metabolic miracle’.

Forever Young: The Sunshine Vitamin

Like all of my colleagues in dermatology, for years I have recommended that people have no unprotected sun exposure.  This recommendation was made because of the pro-inflammatory, photo-aging and cancer-causing effects of ultra violet light.  And if the skin is the only organ we are concerned with, this is good advice.  However, dermatology, like other sub-specialties, can often fail to see the implications of treating a single organ system at the expense of other vital organs.

We now know that Vitamin D (the sunshine vitamin) is produced on the skin by sunlight.  It is then absorbed and circulated in the blood stream.  Vitamin D is stored mainly in the liver and must be processed (metabolized) by the liver and kidneys before it is converted to the active form.  There are many ways to maintain a healthy level of Vitamin D, ranging from diet to healthy sun exposure.  I’ll be covering these ways in detail in Forever Young.

Find out the most effective ways to get healthy levels of vitamin D in Forever Young.  Pre-order your copy now and receive a free 1oz Concentrated Restorative Treatment. (a $75 value)
