I want to introduce you to the best anti aging advice I can give you. It is rooted in biology. It’s so powerful that it will impact the way you look at what you eat and drink forever!

This anti aging advice will become the foundational strategy for helping you to slow down the aging process. As well as reducing your risk for cancer and all types of diseases.

What is this powerful strategy? It is called:

The 1% Solution!

Pretty dramatic isn’t it!

What? You think it’s pretty lame. You’re thinking how can 1% of anything have any real effect on your health and longevity?

Well, before I show you how powerful this anti aging advice is let me ask you this question:

Would you want a stock that increased in value by 1%?

Maybe.

What if it increased in value by 1% each day you owned it?

Absolutely!

I thought so. Who wouldn’t want something that improved in value everyday you owned it.

Well, let’s apply this thinking to your body. What would happen to your health if you could improve 1% of your body today? And, another 1% tomorrow!

What if you could to this everyday for the next 90 days? Would that make a difference in your overall health and wellness? Improve your chances for longevity and anti aging? Could it reduce your risk for cancer and cardiovascular disease? Read More →

CoQ10 For Heart Health

Posted by Dan Hammer //

06/01/2018

With the increase use of statin drugs there has been an increased need for CoQ10 for heart health.

I just recently did a presentation on a natural way to low cholesterol. In that presentation I examined the medical communities’ use of statin drugs to lower cholesterol. And two very clear issues presented themselves:

Statin drugs interfere with your liver’s ability to create CoQ10, which then reduces CoQ10 levels in the body.

There is a direct correlation with the increase use of statin drugs and an increase in congestive heart failure.

This increase in congestive heart failure would make sense since CoQ10 is a necessary component for cellular energy.

In a large study of older adults with heart failure issues, it was clearly noted that those with CoQ10 levels below a certain threshold were twice as likely to die when compared to those who had CoQ10 levels above that threshold. Read More →

A Natural Treatment for Osteoarthritis

Finally there looks to be an effective and natural treatment for osteoarthritis. It’s estimated that 27 million Americans or 12% of the adult population has some degree of osteoarthritis. And for those who are over the age of 60, you most likely have some degree of this disease, although the severity can vary.

If you have osteoarthritis, then it effects joint mobility, which induces varies degrees of pain while diminishing the quality of your life.

And the unfortunate reality of current drugs is that they’re primarily aimed at pain relief. Not addressing the root cause, which for most is loss of joint cartilage leading to inflammation and bone loss. Additionally, these drugs are only about 50% effective in addressing pain symptoms.

However, there is a new study from the scientists at Central Michigan University that shows how two botanical extracts can be a natural treatment for osteoarthritis. There are:

Cutch Tree Extract (Acacia catechu)

White Mulberry Extract (Morus alba)

We’ll examine their study in more detail below. But a quick overview shows that these plant extracts reduce cartilage damage while suppressing pain and inflammation. Read More →

Vitamin K1 and K2 – Understanding the Differences

Posted by Dan Hammer //

Two of the most important but under appreciated nutrients to your health are vitamin K1 and K2. And of these two it’s vitamin K2 that is the most important. So here’s a quick summary of vitamin K1 and K2 before we take a more in depth look at each of them.

Vitamin K1 is crucial for proper blood clotting.

Vitamin K2 is key to preventing arterial calcification.

Statistically the higher your consumption of vitamin K2 the lower your risk for cardiovascular disease, cardiovascular calcification, and dying from cardiovascular disease.

What Are The Key Differences Between Vitamin K1 and K2?

A study was published in 2004 called the Rotterdam Study, which helped to highlight the key differences between vitamin K1 and K2. Here is a summary: Read More →

Can Caloric Restriction Extend Your Life?

Recently there have been several articles about how caloric restriction can improve the bio-markers that are associated with those who live well into their 90s and 100s.

Many people associate caloric restriction to weight loss and weight maintenance. But over the last 50 years it has become a general strategy for improving a person’s well-being and lifespan.

In fact, some take it to the extreme were they reduce their caloric intake by up to 50%. Just enough calories coming in to be nutritionally sufficient for maintaining overall health.

But do you need to be that aggressive in your caloric restriction to enjoy positive benefits?

And the answer seems to be “No!”

There is a recently published, randomized controlled study that showed how a 15% caloric restriction provided the study participants with significant health benefits.

According to Leanne M. Redman, PhD. the lead author of the study and an associate professor at Pennington Biomedical Research Center at Louisiana State University, “Reducing calorie intake provides health benefits to all people regardless of their current health status.” Read More →

Every since I was in college in the 70s there has been this debate about whether exercise can lower your risk for Lower Your Risk For Heart Disease heart disease. Well the journal Circulation just published a new study that showed

Strength and cardiorespiratory fitness lowers the risk for heart disease across the board for all people!

And it didn’t matter your genetic risk and/or family history of heart disease.

The study followed approximately 500,000 middle-aged people over a 10 year period.

These participants were categorized according to their genetic risk for coronary heart disease.

The results of the study showed that physical activity reduced EVERYONE’S risk for cardiovascular disease.

And for those that were in the highest risk category, but had high levels of fitness, their risk was cut by 49 percent!

You may have a hard time answering the question, are you bifidobacteria rich since most people have never heard this word before.

Well my suggestion is to learn how to help your gut microbiome become rich in bifidobacteria as they are key to your health.

Your gut microbiome is home to trillions of microorganisms that play a significant role regulating your immune system, endocrine system, digestive system, and your overall metabolism. Plus your gut microbiome is linked to cardiovascular health, cognitive function, mood, and your ability to fight disease.

One of the most important and beneficial bacteria of your entire gut microbiome is a group called bifidobacteria. And the rest of this blog post will help you understand why they’re important to your health. As well as how you can take dietary steps to make sure they dominate your abdominal microbiome.

What are Bifidobacteria?

Lipoic Acid and Cardiovascular Health!

Posted by Dan Hammer //

03/01/2018

In researching information about endothelial cell health and function I stumbled across information regarding lipoic acid and cardiovascular health. Sometimes referred to as alpha lipoic acid this vital “co-factor” for enzymatic reactions is critically important for optimizing energy conversion in your mitochondria.

What are Mitochondria?

These are the energy factories of your cells and play a huge role in the aging process. At least in theory. First proposed in 1972 by Denman Harman, the mitochondrial theory on aging centers on accumulated damage to the DNA of mitochondria. This leads to increased free radical stress coupled with a decrease in cellular energy production.

So how does this relate to lipoic acid and cardiovascular health? Read More →

Cayenne pepper is more than just a hot spicy herb. According to Dr. Schulze, “If you master only one herb in your life, master cayenne pepper.”

Cayenne pepper is a medicinal and nutritional herb. Its nutrients include beta carotene (precursor for vitamin A), capsaicin, lutein, amino acids, essential fatty acids, calcium, folate, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, C, and E.

Before I begin our discussion about how important cayenne pepper is to your health, I wanted to list one additional quote. It’s from Dr. Patrick Quillin who served from 1990 to 2000 as the Vice President of Nutrition for Cancer Treatment Centers of America. He is an internationally respected author, lecturer, professor, and consultant in the field of nutrition. His 15 books have sold over 1 million copies and include the best sellers Healing Nutrients and Beating Cancer with Nutrition. Here’s the quote:

“Cayenne pepper – prized for thousands of years for its healing power. Folklore from around the world recounts amazing results using cayenne pepper in simple healing and in baffling health problems. But cayenne pepper is not just a healer from ancient history. Recent clinical studies have been conducted on many of the old-time health applications for this miracle herb. Again and again, the therapeutic value of cayenne pepper has been medically validated.” – Dr. Patrick Quillin from The Healing Power of Cayenne Pepper Read More →
