by Jonathan

In the last 30 years the global cancer burden has doubled, and it will likely double again between 2000 and 2020, and nearly triple by 2030 – unless people begin to take cancer prevention seriously.

Three cancer advancements in particular merit special mention. These advancements have not yet been accepted by conventional medicine, and they must be. 1.

Can’t Lose Weight, it’s Not in Your Imagination

It is easy to convince yourself that getting rid of those unwanted excess pounds of fat is just not going to happen for you. Not because you have not tried. You have. But each time the result of going on a new diet or exercise program has been to end up where you started. That’s not only not much fun, it demoralizes you and makes it that much more likely you’ll give up the next time at an even earlier stage. Failure tends to follow on failure. It’s exactly the kind of spiral that sucks ships to the bottom of [...]

Exercise Helps Fight Aging

Regular exercise, even initiated late in life, can help fight the effects of aging. Healthy older individuals can substantially increase both strength and endurance with exercise. Some of the physical declines associated with aging, including a gradual decrease in the number of muscle fibers, are thought to be genetic in origin and irreversible. However, others — including reductions in muscle fiber size due to inactivity — are reversible through exercise. The Texas team examined the results of dozens of studies assessing the benefits of exercise in elderly populations. Among their findings: – one 1989 study involving individuals in their 70s [...]

What Not to Eat after Exercise

For maximum exercise benefits pay attention to what you eat within two hours because post-exercise food has a significant impact on your results. Consuming sugar of any kind within this post-exercise window, will negatively affect both your insulin sensitivity and your human growth hormone (HGH) production. A recent study in the Journal of Applied Physiology found that eating a low-carbohydrate meal after aerobic exercise enhances your insulin sensitivity. This is highly beneficial, since impaired insulin sensitivity, or insulin resistance, is the underlying cause of type 2 diabetes and a significant risk factor for other chronic diseases, such as heart disease.

Is MS caused by Vitamin D deficiency?

Is it true that those who suffer from Multiple sclerosis (MS) just need a little sun? Researchers at the University of Oxford seem to think so. In 2006, a study by the Journal of the American Medical Association suggested higher levels of vitamin D might decrease overall risk of developing MS. Now researchers at the University of Oxford are backing that study with further evidence while also suggesting a link between the lack of sunlight and how the body responds when faced with an infection. The research concludes that MS is caused by several factors working in combination but clearly [...]
