What is Metabolism?

Posted by Dan Hammer //

08/01/2017

Just recently I had a good client of mine ask me the question what is metabolism. And the simple answer I gave him is your body’s ability to process your food and drink for energy. But the real answer to the question what is metabolism is a bit more complex than that.

Here’s a definition of metabolism from Christian Nordqvist,

“Metabolism refers to biochemical processes that occur within any living organism – including humans – to maintain life. These biochemical processes allow people to grow, reproduce, repair damage, and respond to their environment.”

And when you break down this definition there are two component parts. Read More →

6 Key Benefits of Lemon Water

Posted by Dan Hammer //

Last week I posted on how water is the best anti aging ingredient. Over the weekend I was in a training seminar on the microbiome and the use of water was again highlighted. However, lemon water was recommended over regular water.

If fact the person who taught the seminar said she had 135 reasons why you should use lemon water.

Well in today’s post I’m going to give you what I think are the 6 key benefits of lemon water. Ones that actually have scientifically backed facts to support their benefits.

So let me ask you a question:

If you answered “YES”, then please read the rest of this post. Read More →

What is the Best Anti Aging Ingredient?

Posted by Dan Hammer //

05/15/2017

For most people the best anti aging ingredient is the one they fail to consume on a daily basis. Or they think they’re consuming it, but because of additives and sugars they’re actually accelerating the aging process instead of slowing it down.

What is this ingredient?

Pure water!

Now you can do some things to enhance your water like add lemons or liquid chlorophyll. But by itself water is the best anti aging ingredient that you need to consume on a daily basis.

Couldn’t Coffee, Soda, or Beer Be The Best Anti Aging Ingredient?

No! You’re thinking that you get lots of water in the eight cups of coffee you drink or the several cans of soda you consume. Or maybe you’re counting the bottles of beer after work because it makes you go to the bathroom.

SORRY! THESE DON’T COUNT!

It needs to be pure water and lots of it! Before I tell you why, let me give you some facts that you can share at work: Read More →

Why Your Microbiome is Key to Good Health

Posted by Dan Hammer //

03/22/2017

In 2001 the term Microbiome was coined by a researcher named Joshua Lederberg. The term applies to the 100 trillion microbial cells that each person carries on and in their body.

Whether you believe in evolution or Creation there is a symbiotic relationship between these microbial cells and human cells. A symbiotic relationship that either leads to good health or poor health.

In fact when you look in the mirror what you see is your human expression of your human cells. However, if you had the eyes of a powerful microscope you would see a world of microbial cells that outnumbered your human cells by a factor of 10.

Which has lead researchers in the area of the microbiome to use the phrase “We Are Only 10% Human!”

Why is this important?

Because the makeup of your micriobiome significantly, if not entirely, impacts your health and wellness. To the point where every major disease and illness today has a link back to your microbiome.

10 Steps for Liver Support and Cleansing

Posted by Dan Hammer //

Proper liver support and cleansing is critical to your health, disease prevention, and how well you age. As the companion article “A Healthy Liver is Key to Effective Aging!” pointed out, your liver is an amazing organ. Over 500 chemical and metabolic functions take place in the liver. This article outlines the steps needed to make a positive impact on the health of your liver. The more you support your liver the greater your opportunity to live a healthier life and slow down the aging process.

10 Steps for Liver Support and Cleansing

Step 1 – Reduce your consumption of foods with artificial chemicals, artificial ingredients, artificial colorings, and preservatives. Every artificial substance that you bring into your body will have a direct impact on your liver. Take the time to read labels and find alternatives. At least 80% of the food you currently eat could be replaced by food items that are free of artificial substances. This first step is critical for proper liver support.
Step 2 – Increase your water intake. This becomes even more important if you diet, fast, or exercise because the fat-soluble toxins that were stored in your fat cells are going to be released back into your system. Your liver will have to process these fat-soluble toxins and convert them into water-soluble products that your body can eliminate through bile and urine. If you’re dehydrated then you will slow down this process. It’s estimated that 75% of Americans have mild, chronic dehydration.
Step 3 – Increase your fiber intake. The suggested amount of fiber is 25-30 grams of fiber per day. You need fiber to properly absorb bile otherwise the toxins in the bile can be reabsorbed back into your system. Additionally, fiber will help keep your colon clean, help lower cholesterol, and can reduce weight gain by giving you a feeling of fullness.

A Healthy Liver is Key to Effective Aging!

When people want to slow down the aging process maintaining a healthy liver is not something they think about. Usually they think about the health of their heart, skin, and brain. Maybe their lungs or kidneys might come up for discussion.

But how often have you ever thought about your liver!

A couple of weeks ago I was at the Roundhouse in Aurora, IL. This building is the first one like it in America. Built in 1856 to service trains it was abandoned in the 70s. Bought by Walter Payton and a group of investors in 1995 for $10. It was renovated and opened up in 1996.

So what does this have to do with a healthy liver?

Because in 1999, just 3 years later Walter Payton died of liver disease. And being at this facility reminded me of how important a healthy liver is to effective aging.

What Does a Healthy Liver Do?

In researching this article my appreciation and respect for the liver grew exponentially. Your liver is critical to how well you age. It’s an amazing organ. Located in the upper right quadrant of the abdomen, the liver is the largest and most complex organ of the body. It’s responsible for:

Let me start out by saying that vitamin K2 benefits are amazing. This one simple addition to your daily diet can have a profound impact on lowering your risk for most age-related diseases. And vitamin K2 benefits also play a role in longevity.

A recent 2014 study of more than 7,000 people showed that those with the highest intake of vitamin K2 were 36% less likely to die from any cause when compared with those having the lowest intake of this critical nutrient.

The table below highlights how vitamin K2 benefits you in reducing your risk for many of the leading causes of death.

New Alzheimer’s Treatment Program Shows Promise

Posted by Dan Hammer //

01/15/2017

Our friends in Australia have released information on a new Alzheimer’s treatment program that shows promise. At least in mice. I’ll share the information below but before I do it reminds me of this section from a Scottish poem written by Robert Burns in 1785. Here it it:

But little Mouse, you are not alone,
In proving foresight may be vain:
The best laid schemes of mice and men
Go often askew,
And leave us nothing but grief and pain,
For promised joy!

There have been many attempts to help solve the grief and pain associated with Alzheimer’s disease. Here’s hoping that this new Alzheimer’s treatment does not go askew but actually delivers a real hope to untangle the main cause of Alzheimer’s disease. Here’s the article that caught my attention.
