The Wrinkle Cure

by • Comment

Barbecue right for better skin

One of the joys of summertime is a barbecue. Nothing tastes better than food cooked outdoors over an open fire. But, we now know that when you cook the muscle meats from beef, pork, fowl and fish, carcinogenic chemicals called heterocyclic amines (HCAs) are formed. In addition Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs) are also created. The more AGEs we have, the more oxidative stress in our bodies, accelerating aging and disease risk in all organ systems, including skin. In fact, AGEs play a key role in both healthy aging and can be a wrinkle cure and deeply lined, sagging skin; to learn more see AGE-less Face, AGE-less Mind. In this book, you will find important strategies for halting AGE formation, as well as strategies to reverse them. Along with recipes, I have included advice on supplements and topicals that have powerful anti-AGE properties. Our old friend alpha lipoic acid is a superb anti-glycating agent and fights their damaging effects both internally and externally.

The perfect Labor Day BBQ recipe!

With Labor Day right around the corner, the time is perfect for me to share one of my favorite recipes for the barbecue, salmon kabobs marinated with fresh lime juice and rosemary. Our savory salmon kabobs will deliver a healthy dose of the omega-3s as well as superior taste and flavor. This recipe also works wonders with shrimp, scallops, boneless chicken breast and firm tofu. Heirloom tomato and mozzarella salad makes the perfect accompaniment.

The Power of Protein

by • 4 Comments

Protein is the basic material of life.  In fact, the word “protein” comes from an ancient Greek root meaning “of first importance.”  The body could not grow or function without it. When protein is broken down by digestion the result is 22 known amino acids. Eight are essential (cannot be manufactured by the body) the rest are non-essential (can be manufactured by the body with proper nutrition). Since the human body can only manufacture 14 of the twenty-two amino acids that are essential for life, the remaining eight must be provided through the intake of dietary protein.  Yet, the contemporary American diet rarely contains protein in sufficient quantity to maintain and repair cell and skin health.

When the protein supply is depleted, the body is forced to feed upon itself.  This causes both tissue and muscle to break down.

Protein is essential to cellular repair.  Without adequate protein, our bodies enter into an accelerated aging mode. Our muscles, organs, bones, cartilage, skin, and the antibodies that guard us from disease are all made of protein.  Even the enzymes that facilitate all-important chemical reactions in our body—from digestion to building cells—are made of protein.  If your cells do not have complete availability of all essential amino acids, cellular repair will not only be incomplete, it will be much slower than it should be.

Remember this key fact: we cannot store protein in our bodies. To keep our face and body firm, toned, lithe, and supple, provide it with a fresh supply of high quality protein every day.  That’s three meals a day and two snacks. This protein, combined with skin care products, can help you maintain your youthful glow–skin that is virtually ageless!

Recommended Proteins include:

  • Fish – wild Alaskan salmon is the best choice
  • Shellfish
  • Free range poultry
  • Omega 3 organic eggs from free range chickens
  • Tofu
  • Low fat dairy products, esp. yogurt and kefir

PROTEIN FIRST!
As always, eat your protein first, and enjoy your fruits at the end of the meal to avoid any possible negative effects on blood sugar.  An added bonus — protein will help suppress your appetite and keep you from overeating.
