Dr Suzanne Gudakunst, World-Famous health physician and author of a Top Secret Fat Loss Secret has exploded the myth about why most people struggle so hard with fat loss and weight loss diets. The ability to lose weight seems like an elusive or impossible goal for many people. Even worse, why do people have so much trouble keeping off the fat they lose in the first place, simply to gain it back again? Have you ever wondered why your weight loss diets don’t work no matter how much you diet and exercise?
“The reason,” she says, that most people “can’t lose weight has nothing to do with your will-power, over-eating or the right diet! … The reason you are fat and unhealthy is because you have disgusting plaque and horrible little ‘CRITTERS’ living in your guts!”
Of course, what she means by horrible little “critters” are unhealthy parasites that live in your intestines and interfere with the normal digestive processes and hunger mechanisms responsible for helping you lose fat and lose weight. The problem is that “dangerous parasites living inside [your] gut excrete chemicals (waste products) that travel to your brain and tell your “hypothalamus” to [...]

Vitamins and antioxidant health supplements, along with healthy diets of natural, organic foods for weight loss, exercise and fitness are necessary for optimal mental health and anti-aging. But it goes further than that.
Stress may be the number one killer of modern times. Everywhere you go, you hear people saying how stressed they are. This is due to the fact that life is changing and progressing at an exponential rate. People are losing their jobs or changing careers and relationships faster than ever before. Debt is at record levels, at least in America.
Of course, this change is both good and bad. It is good because it means knowledge and technology are advancing exponentially, increasing our life-expectancy and standard of living. It is bad if we do not learn to cope with this change.
Statistically, about about 12% or 13% of all Americans ages 18 to 54 suffer from an anxiety disorder at some time in their life. That’s about 20 million people. This is the number one health problem among women, and the number two health problem among men second to alcohol and drug abuse.
More people suffer from anxiety than any other mental health disorder. Women suffer from anxiety at [...]
It is a well known fact nowadays that your build muscle diet is a critically important component of your total fitness regime that will determine the degree of your bodybuilding success. If your diet is substandard and lacking in key nutrients and food types, regardless of how hard you train you won’t gain the muscle mass and definition you desire.
Let’s review a few simple but essential rules to follow to design and implement a superb build muscle diet, and then we’ll uncover some of the very best quality and targeted foods for building muscle mass. Here are some quick guidelines for a diet to build muscle:
1. Consume 6-7 quality, well-planned meals per day to sustain a high metabolism and avoid glycemic spikes. This will make it much easier for you to metabolize the required amount of calories in order for you to gain muscle mass. Also, it will ensure your body has high energy levels throughout the entire day to fight fatigue, maintain an elevated mood and assist recovery and muscle repair.
2. Your build muscle diet should consist of roughly 50% carbohydrates, 30% proteins, and 20% fats. This [...]

Researchers of one study found that “CoQ10 is an anti-aging substance under normal physiological conditions.” This was under testing in mice using doses that would be the human equivalent of 500 mg to 1700 mg per day. Although their research suggested that 1700 mg per day may induce cognitive impairment, these researchers admitted that, “it would be fair to comment that the upper safe limit of 1200 mg per day recommended by the Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN) is lower than the estimated 1700 mg per day that would lead to cognitive impairment in humans.” In other words, use in moderation like everything else.
Ubiquinone, another name for coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) comes from the word “ubiquitous,” meaning “everywhere” – a fitting name since it is found in and essential to every cell of the human body. Unfortunately, levels of CoQ10 produced by the body decrease with age by as much as 70%, and with the development of certain diseases such as Parkinson’s , asthma, and heart disease. Scientists have been studying CoQ10 for many years, and it is now one of the most popular health supplements in the world due to the discovery of it’s [...]

In news that is beginning to take many people by surprise, more and more research data is

confirming that many people suffer from serious nutritional deficiencies. We normally think of people with nutritional deficiencies as living in poor, Third World countries. But in fact, the problem is far more widespread and complicated than that. Ironically, many of the obese people living in America are suffering from one form of nutritional deficiency or another.
So a lack of good nutrition is not just the province of the poor anymore. Many wealthy people suffer from abysmal diets that put their health at great risk, because food companies care more about profit than health. Americans have one of the poorest diets in the developed world. But the good news is that diets in America are slowly changing for the better. More and more people are increasing their intake of fruits and vegetables and decreasing their intake of fried, fatty junk foods.
That is why more and more people are taking dietary health supplements everyday. Many diets are deficient in some nutrients, and we just can’t get all the nutrition that we really need from our diet alone. Vitamin and antioxidant supplements are becoming [...]

Alpha-lipoic acid is considered one of the most powerful antioxidants manufactured by the human body. It has been called the “universal” antioxidant because it boosts glutathione levels in cells, and is both water and fat soluable. Alpha-lipoic acid is found in every cell of the body, a cofactor in several multi-enzyme complexes where it helps turn glucose into energy.
Alpha-lipoic acid is an essential co-factor in energy metabolism in organisms from microbes to humans. A nutritional coenzyme that participates in the energy metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates and fats, with a particular role in blood glucose disposal, alpha-lipoic acid is necessary for the mitochondrial energy production of the cell, which keeps us alive; it can also help reduce the aging process which reduces wrinkles in the skin and inhibits the disease process.
The therapeutic potential of alpha-lipoic acid is just beginning to be explored, but holds great promise. Alpha-lipoic acid can be found in foods such as organ meats, spinach, broccoli, peas, brussel sprouts, and rice bran. The richest natural food source of alpha-lipoic acid is red meat; other sources include, spinach, broccoli, potatoes, yeast (particularly brewer’s yeast), and certain organ meats (such as kidney and heart).
Alpha-lipoic acid [...]
