Enjoy Refreshing Pineapple this Summer and Promote Your Health at the Same Time

Most health-conscious people know that pineapple and other fruits are a major source of Vitamin C. And most of us have heard about the central role of this water-soluble antioxidant vitamin in mopping up the free radicals that damage normal cells -- implicated in the aging process. But did you know that the key enzyme in pineapple (bromelain) has been studied for decades and has been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects? And to aid in digestion? And even to be effective in cancer treatment and prevention?

Bromelain is a proteolytic enzyme. It acts to accelerate the breakdown of the proteins that we eat and thereby enhances the absorption of nutrients. Bromelain is active in both the acid environment of the stomach and in the alkaline environment of the small intestines. Bromelain enzymes are fibronolytic (breaks down clots) and antithrombotic (reduces obstructions in blood vessels). Scientific studies have documented the therapeutic efficacy of Bromelain in a wide range of health conditions and body functions.

• Bromelain balances digestive processes through enzymatic action.
• Bromelain is used for treating sinusitis.
• Bromelain increases blood and urine levels of antibiotics in humans.
• Bromelain has anti-inflammatory effects, reduces swelling, aids in recovery from injuries and surgery.
• Bromelain protects the Immune system, enhancing the body’s natural healing processes.
• Bromelain has been used to treat tumors and even Cancer.

How to add Bromelain to your daily nutrition regime

• You can add Bromelain to your daily nutrition regime by eating fresh pineapple, a delicious summer treat. But please note that canned pineapple has lost most of its nutritional value from the heat used in the canning process.

A Simple Way to Protect Your Heart and Brain from Disease

Flaxseed, walnuts, beans, fish, 
and winter squash are all excellent 
food sources of omega-3

Omega-3 fatty acids (such as DHA) found in fish and natural foods can lower levels of dangerous homocysteine, an amino acid linked with increased risk of cardiovascular disease and dementia, according to research recently published in the journal Nutrition. Scientists found that introducing Omega-3 fats from dietary or supplemental sources was associated with significantly lowered levels of plasma homocysteine. Based on evidence provided by this study and volumes of research over the past decade, most health conscious people should include Omega-3 fats in their diet or supplemental regime to lower chronic disease risk factors.

Omega-3 fats lower homocysteine levels by deactivating an enzyme that is necessary in its formation. Omega-3 fats also improve vascular function and are shown to lower the risk of blood clots while reducing blood pressure and heart rate in people at high risk for cardiovascular disease.

Researchers publishing in The Journal of Neuroscience found that DHA boosts levels of a protein that helps to naturally dissolve plaque tangles in the brain before they can disrupt normal function. Scientists believe that DHA is a nature-supplied nutrient that can help lower the risk of developing dementia, especially when consumed or supplemented from an early age.

Omega-3 fatty acids have been an integral part of the human diet for countless generations, and they are incorporated into cell wall structures throughout the body. Nutritional experts found that 2 to 6 grams of Omega-3 fats consumed daily provide critical support for optimal health and chronic disease reduction.

Heart Disease is the number one cause of death. Are you taking heart healthy steps?

Heart Disease is the number one cause of
death among men and women.

Many women may not be aware that heart disease and stroke are major threats to their health. Heart disease is the number one cause of death among men and women in the United States, and stroke is number three.

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common type and is the leading cause of heart attacks. When you have CAD, your arteries become hard and narrow. Blood has a hard time getting to the heart, so the heart does not get all the blood it needs. CAD can lead to:

Angina (an-JEYE-nuh)

Angina is chest pain or discomfort that happens when the heart does not get enough blood. It may feel like a pressing or squeezing pain, often in the chest, but sometimes the pain is in the shoulders, arms, neck, jaw, or back. It can also feel like indigestion (upset stomach). Angina is not a heart attack, but having angina means you are more likely to have a heart attack.

Heart Attack

A heart attack occurs when an artery is severely or completely blocked, and the heart does not get the blood it needs for more than 20 minutes.

Other forms of heart disease include:

Heart Failure

Heart failure occurs when the heart is not able to pump blood through the body as well as it should. This means that other organs, which normally get blood from the heart, do not get enough blood. It does not mean that the heart stops. Signs of heart failure include:

• Shortness of breath (feeling like you can't get enough air)
• Swelling in feet, ankles, and legs
• Extreme fatigue 

Heart Arrhythmias (uh-RITH-mee-uhz)

Arrhythmias are changes in the beat of the heart. Most people have felt dizzy, faint, out of breath or had chest pains at one time. These changes in heartbeat are harmless for most people. As you get older, you are more likely to have arrhythmias. DO NOT panic if you have a few flutters or if your heart races once in a while.

Stroke happens when the brain does not get enough blood. Without enough blood, brain cells start to die.

The GOOD NEWS is that you can take steps to lower your chances of having a heart attack or stroke. These steps include getting regular physical activity, taking nutritional supplements and making healthy food choices, knowing your numbers and taking good care of yourself overall. It is also important to make sure you talk to your doctor about heart health and the use of menopausal hormone therapy or aspirin.

Heart Healthy Steps

Most women are not aware that they are at risk
and symptoms may not be apparent.

Women should maintain a BMI below 25, not smoke, eat less salt, eat plenty of fruits, vegetables and whole grains, and get at least 150 minutes of moderate physical activity per week or 75 minutes of sustained activity.

Ask your doctor to check your blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar levels. These simple screening tests will give you important information about your heart health. Your doctor can tell you what your numbers mean and what you need to do to protect your heart

Warning Signs

Typically men experience the well-known heart attack signs of chest pain, arm pain, and shortness of breath.

Women's symptoms of nausea, fatigue, and dizziness are quite different. They are often diagnosed as stress.

The top 5 symptoms reported are:

• unusual fatigue
• trouble sleeping
• shortness of breath
• indigestion and
• anxiety

It is important to learn the specific warning signs of heart attack and stroke. In women, the warning signs are often overlooked since women tend to seek medical care later than men do. Prompt treatment can help women recover from a heart attack or stroke with few or no disabilities.

No matter your age, you can commit to heart-healthy living. It is never too late to take steps to lower your risk of heart attack and stroke.

Is your Sunscreen Toxic?

A recent study by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reveals that 97% of Americans are contaminated with a common sunscreen ingredient called oxybenzone. This toxic chemical has been linked to allergies, hormone disruption, and cell damage, as well as low birth weight in babies whose mothers are exposed during pregnancy. 

Oxybenzone (also known as benzophenone-3) is a penetration enhancer, a chemical that helps other chemicals penetrate the skin. Although oxybenzone is most common in sunscreen, manufacturers also use the chemical in many other personal care products.

The FDA does not require UVA filters in sunscreens, and most manufacturers have never included them in their formulations. However, because of consumer demand and awareness, the number of sunscreens that block harmful UVA radiation more than doubled between summer 2008 and 2009, according to Environmental Working Group's (EWG) analysis.

More Americans than ever are using sunscreen to protect from sunburn and guard against skin cancer. Top choices include products with high SPF ratings, and that are waterproof or that advertise "broad spectrum" protection. Most people trust that the claims on the bottle will ensure that the product truly protects their health and their families', but this is just not the case.

SUNDURANCE™ Sunscreen is a new and revolutionary way to apply sunscreen to the skin through advanced Micro-Encapsulation Technology (MLT™). Scientists have succeeded in wrapping molecules of protective sunscreen chemicals in a microscopic silicate molecule. The molecule is so small that it is invisible to the naked eye, cannot be felt on the skin, and does not create sheen on the skin. When applied to the skin, these micro-molecules form a complete shield of protection on top of the skin while still allowing the skin to breathe.

The result is a sunscreen formula where the chemicals do not touch the skin, are not carcinogenic, and do not cause irritations. Most sunscreens without MLT use chemicals that are applied and absorbed directly into your skin. Virtually all of these chemicals have been demonstrated to have some level of toxicity to the skin. Due to this toxicity concern, it is not recommended that these types of skincare products be used on infants or on sensitive skin. These types of products may also demonstrate a strong chemical odor, and can even cause increased free radicals and oxidation damage to your skin.

Benefits of Sundurance™ MLT Sunscreen

• Maximum protection with minimal skin interaction.
• Non-irritating to the skin and eyes.
• Enhances skin coverage and increases SPF with less ingredients.
• Protects the skin from oxidation and free radical damage.
• Full UVA/UVB spectrum coverage.
• Top quality pharmaceutical grade active ingredients and 100% natural cream base.
• Optimum SPF formulation for highest coverage and safest use.
• Safe for use on infants and children.

Calcium is Critical for Maintaining Good Health

If you are 30 or older, you are losing it every day

Calcium is vital for bone health.  Both women and men will begin to lose 0.5-1% of their bone density or degree of bone mineralization per year starting around the age of 30. In women, the rate of loss will spike to 2-3% per year for the first 3 to 15 years following menopause.

Calcium is critical in all diets. Of all the minerals required by our bodies, calcium is the most prevalent.  The average adult body is comprised of 1.25 Kg (almost 3 pounds) of calcium.

Not only is calcium an integral part of the teeth and bones, where 99% of the calcium in the body is found, but it also helps the body: 

• form blood clots at the site of a wound
• aids in muscle and nerve function
• regulate blood pressure, required for normal heart beat
• cellular structure
• release certain hormones
• many enzyme reactions

Calcium is present in high amounts in a wide variety of foods, although most people get the majority of their calcium from just one group of foods - dairy products, and in particular, cow’s milk. As calcium often works alongside magnesium, it is useful to obtain calcium from sources that also include magnesium. This is not the case for milk.

In fact, calcium and magnesium work so closely together that, if there is an excess of one in the body, it will often lead to a reduction in the other, disturbing the natural balance. In addition to the presence of magnesium, it is beneficial that many of the other sources of calcium, such as seeds and nuts also contain essential fatty acids, which are also required for healthy brain, nerve, hormone and immune systems.  Calcium is also closely associated with and its absorption is dependent on Vitamin D.

According to the National Institute of Health, most people do not get enough calcium in their daily diet. Supplements are suggested as an alternative to meet their daily required intake.  

The most commonly used form of calcium is calcium carbonate, which is often derived from limestone or oyster shells.  This form of calcium is poorly absorbed and is often contaminated with poisonous lead.

Determining which supplements are right for you can be a chore. At HealthPro Nutrient, your day-to-day wellness is our priority and we take out the guesswork by providing the highest quality vitamins and minerals that:

• Are Designed by Doctors

E. Coli Mutation

E. COLI OUTBREAK IN EUROPE IS THE DEADLIEST IN HISTORY

 

The World Health Organization said that "The E. coli bacteria responsible for a mysterious outbreak in Europe that has left 18 people dead and sickened hundreds is a new strain that has never been seen before."  The new strain has "various characteristics that make it more virulent and toxin-producing."

Scientists sequencing the bacteria strains found in the outbreak said it was caused by "an entirely new super-toxic E. coli strain" that has several antibiotic resistant genes.

Sadly for those affected, it is not just about recovering from this type of infection; it is also about recovering from the treatment to end the infection.

The WHO recommends that to avoid food-borne illnesses people wash their hands before eating or cooking food, separating raw and cooked meat from other foods, thoroughly cooking food, and washing fruits and vegetables, especially if eaten raw. Experts also recommend peeling raw fruits and vegetables if possible.

The creation of Ai/E10 in 1993 resulted directly from the recognition of this problem.  We need to keep our immune function vibrant so we can respond as effectively as possible to these new challenges if we get caught-up in one of them.  The food chain is always at risk and we need to be alert to the dangers of contaminated food.  It doesn't just happen in apparent unsanitary places.  It can happen anywhere. 

If you are traveling this summer, or anytime, it is always a good idea to increase your daily use of Ai/E10.  Remember to "think immune." 

Natural Products Insider features Ai/E10

One of the dietary supplement industry's most respected publications, Natural Products Insider, featured Ai/E10 in a recent article, Immune Health: Gut Check, addressing dietary supplement ingredients for the support of immunity. You can read the article here.

Study reveals that many Americans are not getting enough calcium

ARE YOU GETTING ENOUGH CALCIUM? THE SECRET TO BONE HEALTH...

The May, 2011 issue of the Journal of the American Dietetic Association published the conclusion of researchers at Yale University and the University of Connecticut that many older Americans have an insufficient intake of calcium. Adequate intake of the mineral has been defined by the Institute of Medicine as 1,000 milligrams per day for adults and 1,200 milligrams per day for those over 50.

Calcium and vitamin D are the cornerstone of osteoporosis prevention, yet they are not the whole story. Other minerals and nutrients that are vital to healthy bones include magnesium, potassium, vitamin C, vitamin K, vitamin B12, and others, including zinc, manganese, boron, copper, and silicon (Nieves JW 2005; Hirota T et al 2005).

Many studies have shown that calcium can reduce bone loss and suppress bone turnover. Calcium requires the presence of vitamin D for maximum absorption. 

Although calcium is readily available in dairy products and other dietary sources, many Americans are calcium deficient. Here are a few possible explanations for calcium deficiencies: 

• Decreased vitamin D availability, possibly due to kidney or liver problems or insufficient exposure to sunshine
• Decreased gastrointestinal tract absorption due to stomach or intestinal problems
• Increased loss of calcium from the kidneys,colon and bowels
• Low dietary calcium intake
• Medications that inhibit calcium absorption

There are many forms of calcium on the market., calcium malate is an excellent source of bio-available calcium (absorbed by the body) and a good way to receive supplemental calcium.
