Melatonin's Many BenefitsPDFPrintE-mail

If I say melatonin, is jet lag the first thing that comes to your mind? Melatonin’s ability to reset your internal clock if you’ve just stepped off an international flight is legendary. But this sleeper of a hormone is integral for the health of every living thing—plants, amoebas, canaries, and hippopotami, as well as you and me. It wouldn’t make much sense if melatonin’s only role in your body was to help you deal with jet lag.

Get A Good Night’s Sleep — For GoodPDFPrintE-mail

If you’ve been having trouble getting a good night’s sleep, you know what it’s like to be dead tired and wide awake. Sleep is like the night maintenance crew in a corporate building: it dumps the trash, makes repairs, and refreshes overworked organ systems so your body and mind can be at the top of their game the next day.

Satisfy Your Sweet ToothPDFPrintE-mail

You and I know that refined sugar (sucrose) is bad for you on every level, and after finally weaning yourself off sugary sweets and snacks, the insulin surge that results from holiday indulgences can rekindle the old cravings you thought you’d beaten for good. But it doesn’t have to be that way. There are strategies you can use in your holiday cooking to give you those genuine sweet treats without after-holiday sugar blues and regrets. One of those strategies is using sugar substitutes. Not artificial sweeteners with health issues of their own, but natural sweeteners that taste lovely and are actually rather good for you in moderation. The best ones provide real nutritional value: vitamins, minerals, even some fiber. To get the most benefit, though, you need to be able to choose the right sweetener for the use at hand.

More Than Just a Fleeting MemoryPDFPrintE-mail

Memory loss is an insidious thing. Changes in your ability happen so slowly that you’re not even aware of them until some event triggers a realization. For me, that event has been playing card games with my boy. His young mind rarely forgets a card, while I often have a hard time remembering the card I just turned over. What a worrisome wake-up call.

 
Eliminate Osteoporosis - Balance Them BonesPDFPrintE-mail

Most people don’t think about it this way, but bones are living tissue. They are growing, renewing, reshaping, and mending themselves—or at least they should be. Osteoporosis occurs when something is wrong with that natural process in one of two ways—either through an acceleration of the natural loss of bone minerals (osteoclastic activity) or through a reduction in the deposition of new minerals for replacing and rebuilding bones (osteoblastic activity). These processes are regulated through a number of metabolic pathways, so as you’ll see below the solution to better bone health is seldom simply “more calcium.”

Healthy Tidbits

In this century, the world will have more people living into their 80s and 90s than ever before, with the number of people 80+ set to quadruple between 2000 and 2050.

 

Increased life expectancy is largely due to improvements in public health, and healthy ageing is linked directly to health in earlier stages of life.

 

Although it is natural for biological processes to decline with age, the rate at which our body’s decline is impacted by many controllable lifestyle factors such as how we eat, how we move, and how many toxic substances we are exposed to.
