The Secret to Why Some People Age 10 Years and Still Look the Same

The Secret to Why Some People 
Age 10 Years and Still Look the Same

There is a little known '"Superfood" with the ability to reverse the effects of aging, make you feel and look younger and give you a steady stream of energy throughout the day...

It contains the secret to why some people can age, but not look older!

We all know—as we age our body simply doesn't heal as fast. Our immune system doesn't resist infection as well.  And our digestive system doesn't work as well anymore.  We get tired more easily, get sick more often and gain weight faster in places we didn't think possible!

As well, our skin doesn't maintain the moisture, elasticity and color it used to.

However—have you ever wondered how certain people can go from age 30 to 40 (or 40 to 50 even)... and not show any signs of aging at all?  These people are 10 years older, but they look and feel the same.  Their bodies are performing just as well a decade ago.

Why is that?  How is that possible? Do they have some secret anti-aging formula or a hidden "fountain of youth" in their backyard?

The simple truth about aging: cellular regeneration.

It's actually very easy to understand why some people age faster than others.

Aging is actually a very simple math equation.  We have daily wear and tear in our lives.  It can be physical, mental or even emotional stress.  When we put strain on our bodies, many of our cells get toxic, grow old or simply stop working.

When our cells finally die, new and better functioning cells replace them.

This is called "cellular regeneration".

Unfortunately, the process of replacing old cells with new cells requires a lot of energy.  Without energy, our cells die faster than we can make new ones.  But over time, our ability to make energy slows down. And when cells aren't replaced faster than they die off... we "age".

So the real secret of looking young, staying fit and shedding weight is energy?

Well, yes and no.

To be clear, it's your body's ability to create energy.   Here's what happens in the trillions of cells in your body...

Your cells are like factory assembly lines.  When you feed it enough oxygen, hydrogen, sugar (the good kind), good fats (like omega-3), vitamins, minerals and amino acids...

And in order for your cells to work optimally, you need to feed them properly.

Hopefully, you're already drinking tons of water and doing some exercise.  That takes care of oxygen and hydrogen.  For everything else, it's a matter of eating the right foods packed with the right nutrients.

Watching what you eat is harder than it sounds

A lot of the foods we get at the grocery stores today are full of toxic chemicals, additives and bad sugars like high-fructose corn syrup.

Recently, scientists have discovered a "Superfood" that's 100% raw, natural and organic.

No, it's not acai berries, chlorella, spirulina, goji, resveratrol or fish oil.

In fact, this Superfood is 100 times more potent and powerful than all those Superfoods combined.

How Powerful is this Superfood?

99% of all life on planet Earth depends on this one microscopic life source.

Without it, life would not exist.  (In fact, it's responsible for making up to 90% of our planet's oxygen... and it has nothing to do with trees).

And most importantly of all...

It has the power to "stimulate" your body to create trillions of healthy, new cells which is the secret to growing older without aging.

NEW Grain-free recipe

Diana Keuilian realhealthyrecipes@gmail.com

Let's sit down together and have the uncomfortable talk about grains...

I'm gonna say some stuff here that you may not want to hear, stuff that goes against what you've been made to believe is healthy.

However, if you read the following with an open mind then you're going to come away with a life changing truth about truly healthy eating that will transform your body. It has certainly transformed mine.

A few weeks ago I posted the quote below from Mark Sisson, author of The Primal Blueprint, on my facebook page that raised many questions.

"There are no requirements in human nutrition for carbohydrates. Grains are totally unnecessary." 

So if we aren't supposed to be eating grains then why are 'whole grains' said to be so healthy for us? Why do whole grain bread product have a heart healthy stamp on them? Why does the doctor tell us to eat plenty of whole grains to help lower our cholesterol and increase our fiber intake?

Here is the argument against the consumption of grains: 

• When looking at the span of human existence, grains have been apart of our diet for only a short time.

• "For better or for worse, we are no longer hunter-gatherers. However, our genetic makeup is still that of a paleolithic hunter-gatherer, a species whose nutritional requirements are optimally adapted to wild meats, fruits and vegetables, not cereal grains. There is a significant body of evidence which suggests that cereal grains are less than optimal foods for humans and that the human genetic makeup and physiology may not be fully adapted to high levels of cereal grain consumption." Loren Cordain, Ph.D., author of The Paleo Diet 

• Grains contain plentiful calories, however they also contain "antinutrients" (compounds that interfere with the absorption of beneficial nutrients), are high in carbs, and have grain protein which are foreign to the human digestive process.

• A diet high in grains puts stress on the body's insulin regulation mechanism which leaves you susceptible for weight gain and diabetes. 

• Certain grain proteins (ever heard of gluten?) trigger an immune response when ingested. According to researchers, as many as one third of us are gluten-intolerant or gluten-sensitive. Over time this can lead to dermatitis, joint pain, reproductive problems, acid reflux, other digestive conditions, autoimmune disorders, and celiac disease.

• "For the purpose of weight control and preventing disease, a gram of carb from a whole grain is no better than a gram of carb from a refined grain. I'm not suggesting you choose refined grains over whole grains; I'm suggesting that you ditch all grains. " Mark Sisson, Primal Blueprint  

I don't know why grains are still considered a health food darling while the research against gluten and processed carbohydrates piles up.

Like you, I too have spent years being duped into thinking that brown rice and whole grain bread was benefiting my body, when in fact it was responsible for the weight I couldn't lose and the indigestion I felt. The day that I stopped eating grains my body naturally began to shed off extra pounds.

The good news is that eating fewer grains is easier than you think... 

Here are some painless ways to replace grains:

   

-       Bake a loaf of Almond Bread to replace wheat bread.

-       Wrap your sandwich in large lettuce leaves.

-       Eat Kale chips rather than traditional chips.

-       Bake some Caveman Granola rather than regular cereal.

-       Swap out regular flour for almond flour in your favorite baking recipe.

-       Make noodles with a vegetable peeler and a zucchini, or use spaghetti squash.

-       Try my new recipe for Real Healthy Sweet & Sour Rice, using cauliflower.

Big Train College Round-Up 4/12

Big Train College Round-Up 4/12

Another week, another great start from Ben Griset (BT '12). For the second time already this season, Griset threw a complete game while striking out double-digit batters (10) for St. Mary's (CA). Last Friday night against Georgetown, Griset gave up just one unearned run, four hits, and one hit-by-pitch on his way to his second nine-inning outing of the season. It took him 119 pitches, 86 of which went for strikes. Luckily for the Gaels, Griset was not the only Big Train help they would receive this week.    On the pitching front, Gary Cornish (BT '13) was solid out of the bullpen as he threw three innings and recorded seven of his nine outs via strikeout and gave up just two hits and no runs or walks. At the plate, two hitters came up big. Markus Melgosa (BT '10) had an extremely well-rounded line of 9/19, HBP, 6R, 3RBI, 2B, 3SB as he did everything possible to help his team.Brenden Kalfus (BT '11) continued his hitting hot streak as he was 6 for 17 with three doubles and a stolen base while scoring three times and driving in five. At another Big Train outpost out west, San Diego State got some great assistance from Big Train players as well this week, all of it from the mound. On the starting front, Ryan Doran (BT '12) went 7.2 innings last Sunday and picked up the win as his Aztecs beat Nevada. Doran gave up just one earned run on five hits and four walks while striking out seven. Doran and other Aztec pitchers were helped along all week by Big Train pitchers from the bullpen. Justin Hepner (BT '13), Bubba Derby (BT '13), and Ethan Miller(BT '12) combined to throw 6.1 innings out of the bullpen this week and allowed just one earned run while they earned a win and a save. Combined, they gave up four hits, three walks, and hit two batters on their way to four strikeouts. Other notable hitting performances: Tyler York (BT '13 / Tallahassee CC) - 5/7, 2BB, 3R, 5RBI, HR... Justin McCullough (BT '10-'12 / El Camino CC) - 6/12, R, 3RBI, 2B... Tim Quiery (BT '11 / San Jose St.) - 4/8, 2R, RBI...Adam Barry (BT '11-'12 / High Point) - 7/19, 3R, 2RBI, 2 2B...

HOME FINALE FOR BOWIE STATE

"Toxin-free" plastic containers aren't really

'BPA-Free'?
Uh, Not Really. . .

    Many consumers have taken steps to curb their use of products containing the chemical bisphenol A, or BPA. Thanks to this newsletter and other voices, folks are learning that BPA poses health risks that far outweigh its benefits. This toxic substance is commonly used in all things plastic including baby bottles, plastic food storage containers and nearly all drink containers — soda, water, juice, you name it.

    But if you've switched to "BPA-free" products, watch out! It turns out the plastic industry has merely substituted another dangerous chemical. Keep reading and I'll explain. . .

Continued below. . .

Hidden killer picking off Baby Boomers in their prime     Leg cramps that wake you up out of a sound sleep.     Fingers so cold you're embarrassed to shake hands at church.     Unsightly circles under your eyes--no matter how much sleep you get.     Bruises that appear after the slightest bump...and take WEEKS to go away.     These aren't just minor annoyances. They're the first signs of the hidden epidemic picking off Baby Boomers like flies. So deadly, it claims another new victim every 30 seconds. And yet--most M.D.s are completely overlooking it.     Which is why it's absolutely critical for you to watch this special presentation right now. It will tell you everything you need to know about this sweeping threat. Including the solution so stunningly simple, it puts modern medicine to shame. Please, don't miss it.

    Long-term exposure to BPA has been linked to a number of serious health concerns, including:

• Asthma
• Cancer
• Diabetes
• Impaired learning and memory
• Low sperm count
• Obesity

    BPA in your body becomes a type of fake estrogen that can lead to hormonal imbalances. For additional details, see our reports in Issue #17 and Issue #196. Canada has totally banned BPA — that should give you a hint of how serious this is.

    With the discovery of the long-term health-damaging effects of BPA exposure, many manufacturers responded to public concerns by removing the chemical from their products.

    But this was nothing more than a magician's sleight of hand!

    What they didn't tell us about items sporting the "BPA free" label is that they now contain BPA's ugly cousin bisphenol S (BPS)—a chemical that may be even MORE toxic and dangerous to your health!

    Kurunthachalam Kannan, a research scientist at the New York State Department of Health in Albany, led a team investigating the prevalence of BPS in the environment.

    The investigators were surprised to find that your skin appears to absorb up to 19 timesmore BPS than its predecessor BPA.

    And here's one reason why your likelihood of coming in contact with the chemical is extremely high:

BPS is used on most of the paper receipts and paper
currency you handle for every purchase you make!

    What does 'most' mean? Well Kannan's research team tested 16 types of paper from the U.S., Japan, Korea and Vietnam.

    They found a whopping 87 percent of paper currency and 52 percent of recycled paper contained BPS.

    What's more, Kannan's group also found that 81 percent of 315 urine samples taken from men and women in the United States and seven Asian countries contained BPS. Japan had the highest average concentrations followed by the U.S.

The hidden dangers of a hormone imbalance

    Have you ever noticed that some middle aged men seem to carry a spare tire around their middle? And that some even have 'man boobs' where their chest muscles used to be?

    Chalk it up to estrogen overload!

    As men get older, they produce less testosterone, which can lead to a buildup of estrogen. If you're a man with rising estrogen levels—be aware that it can increase your risk of experiencing prostate problems, heart trouble and other serious health concerns.

    In women, excess estrogen causes fluid retention... hot flashes... night sweats... increased blood fat levels... and mood swings...

    Many women also complain about dry skin and dry eyes—and even an uncomfortable vaginal dryness that can make sexual relations painful.

    In 2002, government scientists abruptly ended a large study of a type of a hormone replacement therapy (HRT) that made use of estrogen and progestin.

    The investigators determined that this treatment, prescribed to relieve the symptoms of menopause, significantly increased the risk of breast cancer, heart disease and strokes.

    Unfortunately, this news came some 50 years after countless HRT prescriptions had been doled out to unsuspecting women. Thousands of women promptly stopped hormone replace therapy — and the rate of breast cancer in the United States plunged!

    In other words, this commonly prescribed medical treatment was responsible for thousands of cases of breast cancer. But this gets worse. The evidence strongly indicates the real problem was that mainstream doctors used estrogen from horses, not human estrogen. (The HRT drug was called Premarin, extracted from mares' urine.)

    HRT that uses human estrogen is called bioidentical hormone therapy. Knowledgeable authorities say this type of HRT is safe, although the medical establishment insists the use of horse estrogen had nothing to do with the link to breast cancer.

    I bring it up because BPA and BPS chemically mess with the hormone levels in both men and women. The famous HRT scandal points up how even small deviations from natural human estrogen can have disastrous consequences.

Is there a BPS/cancer connection?

    The research on health effects of BPS is still in its infant stages. But what scientists do know is that BPS has a similar chemical structure to BPA. This means that, like BPA, BPS is likely to be tied to abnormal cell growth leading to cancer.

    In a study published in the International Journal of Clinical Oncology, Chinese researchers compared levels of BPA in about 500 adults to the rates of the brain cancer meningioma.

    They found that adults with higher levels of BPA in their urine had a greater likelihood of developing that form of cancer than did folks with lower levels. This was true even after the researchers considered other factors such as family history and whether the person had received hormone replacement therapy.

    In another study, University of Cincinnati scientists exposed human breast cancer cells to low levels of BPA. The group was surprised to find that BPA encouraged the production of proteins that prevent cancer cells from being killed by chemotherapy drugs.

    So according to study results, not only does BPA contribute to cancer formation—it also neutralizes one of mainstream medicines favored treatment options!

    So what's a consumer to do? Well, clearly you can't change the BPS levels in the products themselves. But you can minimize your exposure by opting for glass beverage and food containers versus plastic.

    And you can avoid microwaving foods in plastic containers to avoid leaching the chemicals into your meal.

    Also, try to wash your hands after handling receipts, money and other paper products that may be coated with BPS chemicals. As mentioned before, it appears these chemicals can be absorbed through the skin.

    These simple steps could decrease your exposure to this dangerous copycat chemical that may prove to be a serious health threat.
