Fountain of Youth For Your Brain

 

You walk into a room and can't remember why. Sound familiar? Research shows that once we turn 25, our brains slow production of chemicals linked to memory. Now, a new supplement can help keep your memory sharp!

Lisa Lichon Pietenpol's friends used to call her scatterbrained. She'd start things and not finish them.

"Hitting your 40th birthday, that memory somehow goes out the door," Lichon-Pietenpol told Ivanhoe.

She's right. Deborah Yurgelun-Todd, Ph.D., a psychiatrist at the University of Utah's Brain Institute in Salt Lake City, says after age 25 our brains start to shrink, losing chemicals called neurotransmitters that help with memory.

She did a study where people took 500 to 2,000 milligrams of cognizin citicoline for six weeks. All of them showed significant increases in memory with no side effects.

"What we did, which was not done before, was to look at actual metabolic changes in the brain after supplementation, and therefore could show this is not just 'a feeling I have,' but a feeling linked to a physiological change," Dr. Yurgelun-Todd explained.

Lisa already notices a difference.

"One of the greatest things I've been given back is the ability to remember to go back and finish what I started, and I'm getting a better reputation now because I can actually finish what I start," Lichon Pietenpol said.

No one calls her scatterbrained any more.

Cognizin citicoline is the purest form of citicoline. You can buy it over-the-counter in pharmacies and health food stores. The lowest doses will cost a dollar a day. Dr. Yurgelun-Todd says it's safe to take for the rest of your life.

Pomegranate Juice Does a Body Good

 

Kidney patients on dialysis may have an effective and delicious aid for infection and other difficulties.  Pomegranate juice has been known to lower blood pressure, cholesterol, and provide a rich amount of antioxidants, but a new study finds that it can also reduce kidney disease complications. 

Researchers at the Western Galilee Hospital, the Ruth & Bruce Rappaport Faculty of Medicine, the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology and the University of Haifa gave either pomegranate juice or a placebo drink to 101 dialysis patients at the start of every dialysis session, three times a week for a year.

The patients given pomegranate juice showed a reduced inflammation and a less damage from the free radicals produced by oxidative stress.  Their likelihood of hospitalization was significantly decreased as well.

Other data from previous studies pointed to other health benefits, such as a lowered amount of cardiovascular risk factors.  Blood pressure, lipid profile and the number of reported cardiovascular episodes were improved in pomegranate juice drinkers.

Since most chronic kidney disease (CKD) mortalities result from cardiovascular complications, these results are especially hopeful.

The authors of the study report that a monitored quantity of pomegranate juice, given with a safe amount of potassium, can significantly reduce the complications associated with dialysis patients.  However, potassium overload needs to be considered for CKD patients who are put on a dietary restriction of potassium.

"Considering the expected epidemic of CKD in the next decade, further clinical trials using pomegranate juice aimed at reducing the high cardiovascular morbidity of CKD patients and their deterioration to end-stage renal disease should be conducted," lead researcher Batya Kristal, MD, FASN was reported as saying.

Protect Your Memory With Vitamin B12

 

Alzheimer’s disease is the seventh-leading cause of death in the United States. This progressive and fatal brain disease destroys brain cells, causing memory loss and problems with thinking and behavior.

Currently there is no cure, but a recent study reveals that vitamin B12 may be effective in reducing the risk of memory lost.

“Low levels of vitamin B12 are surprisingly common in the elderly.  However, the few studies that have investigated the usefulness of vitamin B12 supplements to reduce the risk of memory loss have had mixed results,” Babak Hooshmand, M.D., MSc, with Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden, was quoted as saying.

For the seven-year study, researchers took blood samples from 271 Finnish people age 65 to 79 who did not have dementia at the start of the study. 

During that time, 17 people developed Alzheimer’s disease. Blood samples were tested for levels of homocysteine, an amino acid associated with vitamin B12, and for levels of the active portion of the vitamin, called holotranscobalamin. 

Too much homocysteine in the blood has been linked to negative effects on the brain, such as stroke.  However, higher levels of vitamin B12 can lower homocysteine.

Furthermore, the study found that for each micromolar increase in the concentration of homocysteine, the risk of Alzheimer’s disease increased by 18 percent, whereas each picomolar increase in concentration of the active form of vitamin B12 reduced risk by two percent. The results stayed the same after taking into account other factors, such as age, gender, education, smoking status, blood pressure and body mass index.

Fuel Use During Exercise

 

You use both fat and carbohydrates for energy during exercise, with these two fuels providing that energy on a sliding scale. During exercise at a very low intensity (e.g., walking), fat accounts for most of the energy expenditure. As exercise intensity increases up to the lactate threshold (the exercise intensity that marks the transition between exercise that is almost purely aerobic and exercise that includes a significant anaerobic contribution; also considered the highest sustainable aerobic intensity), the contribution from fat decreases while the contribution from carbohydrates increases. When exercising just below the lactate threshold, you are using mostly carbohydrates. Once the intensity of exercise has risen above the lactate threshold, carbohydrates become the only fuel source.
If you exercise long enough (1.5–2 hours), your muscle carbohydrate (glycogen) content and blood glucose concentration become low. This metabolic state presents a threat to the muscles’ survival, since carbohydrates are muscles’ preferred fuel. When carbohydrates are not available, the muscles are forced to rely on fat as fuel.

Since more fat is used at low exercise intensities, people often assume that low-intensity exercise is best for burning fat, an idea that has given birth to the “fat-burning zone.” However, while only a small amount of fat is used when exercising just below the lactate threshold, the rate of caloric expenditure and the total number of calories expended are much greater than they are when exercising at a lower intensity, so the total amount of fat used is also greater.

Today, 10 million Americans—more than twice as many as a decade ago—practice some form of meditation, according to TIME magazine. And with contemporary medical experts claiming that regular practice of this ancient activity improves well-being and health, the trend may well continue.

Would meditation help you? Discover what meditation is, the benefits of doing it and a few examples of meditation styles below from Shirley Archer, JD, MA, IDEA’s mind-body spokesperson, a health and wellness educator based at Stanford University School of Medicine and author of books such as Pilates Fusion: Well-Being for Body, Mind, and Spirit.

What Is Meditation?

Meditation is an ap-proach to training the mind. A person with an untrained mind may think the power that his thoughts and emotions wield over his life is inevitable, rather than seeing it as something that can change through meditation. Long-term meditators come to see that thoughts and emotions are drifting by, much like clouds in the sky. And little by little, as practitioners become less invested in their mindless chatter, they can live with a more open awareness of present experience. With this awareness, they tend to react less impulsively to life’s pressures and are able to respond to them with greater equanimity.

Benefits of Meditation

While relaxation is not the goal of meditation, it is often one result of it. Back in the 1970s, Herbert Benson, MD, a researcher at Harvard University Medical School, coined the term the relaxation response after conducting research on people who practiced transcendental meditation. 

The relaxation response, in Benson’s words, is “an opposite, involuntary response that causes a reduction in the activity of the sympathetic nervous system.”

Since then, studies on the relaxation response have documented the following short-term benefits to the nervous system:

  • lower blood pressure
  • improved blood circulation
  • lower heart rate
  • less perspiration
  • slower respiratory rate
  • less anxiety
  • lower blood cortisol levels
  • feelings of well-being
  • less stress
  • improved deep relaxation

Artificial Sweeteners vs. Sugar

 

With all the artificial sweeteners available, you may find it challenging to separate fact from fiction.

In fact, so many new sweeteners have made their way to market that the American Dietetic Association (ADA) released a Position Paper in 2004 to help nutrition experts educate consumers on the health implications of these products!

Are foods that contain artificial sweeteners in some ways healthier than those that use natural sugar? Consuming products that contain artificial sweeteners instead of pure sugar can help lower calorie and sugar intake for people with diabetes. Artificial sweeteners enhance the taste of foods and beverages without adding the calories that sugar would provide.

However, you do need to use artificial sweeteners judiciously. Many artificially sweetened products, such as hot cocoa mixes, frozen desserts and baked goods, contain empty calories without offering the additional nutritional benefit of pure sugar.

Therefore, low or no calories from sugar doesn’t automatically mean that a product is more nutritious.

Read food labels to evaluate the overall nutritional value of a food, regardless of whether the sweetener used is natural or artificial.

Better Skin through Food

 

Although some skin conditions are best treated by a dermatologist, you can enhance the appearance of your skin by improving the content of your diet. According to the editors at Reader’s Digest, here are the foods that can make your skin do an about-face:

Eggs, Legumes, Avocados, Nuts and Soybeans. These foods contain an essential vitamin called biotin, which is vital for the metabolism of carbohydrates and fats; a deficiency can cause dry skin.

Salmon. This fish contains a carotenoid called “astaxanthin,” which is known to improve skin elasticity and reduce wrinkles.

Green Tea. This tea variety can help protect against sun damage to skin. (For a frosty, healthy dessert, try the green tea and ginger granita in this month’s Recipe for Health.)

 

Omega-3 Fatty Acids. Found in foods such as walnuts, cod-liver oil and fortified foods, these compounds help skin look and feel young.

Pomegranates. When applied topically (as in facials), the fruit inside can produce more collagen and enhance skin healing.

The main cardiovascular factors that influIt is estimated that 60%–80% of the population will suffer from lower-back pain (LBP) at some time during their lifespan (Hamill et al. 1995). The causes are poorly defined because of the multiple risk factors, which include degenerative changes; repeated incorrect lifting technique; excessive static sitting and standing postures; bending; twisting; and falling.

One specific population that has received recent attention in regard to LBP is children and teenagers. LBP in kids and teens, you ask? What could be contributing to LBP in such a young population? Too much sitting? Heavy backpacks? The research may surprise you.

Several studies have examined the causes of kids’ and teenagers’ back pain.

An observational study by Young, Haig and Yamakawa (2006) of 184 middle-school children investigated a possible relationship between back pain and backpack weight. The study did not find a correlation between backpacks and incidence of LBP, but 35.9% of all of the students surveyed reported having back pain in the cervical, thoracic or lumbar region. The researchers acknowledged that for children with back pain, wearing a backpack could make the condition more uncomfortable, and that a strategy of reducing the frequency of wearing a backpack or the load carried might be a viable option in such cases.

Ippolito, Versari and Lezzerani (2006) reviewed the literature concerning clinical aspects and rehabilitation of different types of juvenile LBP disorders. The most common causes of LBP in children were found to result from mechanical, developmental, inflammatory, neoplastic and psychosomatic factors. Under mechanical cause, the literature found that in some cases faulty posture develops in older children with exaggerated lumbar lordosis. Poor postural habits may be linked to prolonged television watching or inappropriate school furniture. Strategies such as stretching and strengthening exercises may improve postural abnormalities.

In a study by Petersen, Bergström and Brulin (2003), a random sample of 1,155 children completed a questionnaire. Recurrent monthly backache was reported by 18% of the children, with approximately half of them having weekly complaints.

The prevalence of recurrent backache showed a large variation by grade, not by gender. The results suggested a need for preventive efforts addressing these complaints at an early age.

Geldhof and associates (2007) studied classroom postures of 41 children, aged 8–12. Data revealed that 55% of the children complained of neck region pain and 45% reported pain in the thoraco-lumbar region. Analysis showed that children who spent more time sitting with the trunk flexed over 45 degrees reported significantly more thoraco-lumbar pain. Prolonged static sitting with poor posture is common in schoolchildren, according to this study, and the findings suggest a need to implement movement breaks and alterations of class organization.

Based on the research, LBP affects children across the age gamut. Poor posture can be a common cause. Educating young teenagers about neutral spine can be a positive first step toward reversing LBP in kids and teens.

Also consider using a plumb line for postural assessment. For standing posture, a plumb line—a cord with a plumb bob attached to provide an absolute vertical-line standard for measuring deviations—functions as a point of reference. Ideal spinal alignment depicted with a plumb line would show the line passing through the lobe of the ear, the shoulder joint and the greater trochanter of the femur, and then passing slightly anterior to midline of the knee and the lateral malleolus (at the ankle). Use of a plumb line will not only help you show postural deficiencies but also give you a perfect opportunity to explain that faulty alignment leads to undue stress and strain on bones, joints, ligaments and muscles.

The Sweet Smell of Longevity?

 

What does the smell of a good meal mean to you? It may mean more than you think.

Specific odors that represent food or indicate danger are capable of altering an animal's lifespan and physiological profile by activating a small number of highly specialized sensory neurons, say researchers at the University of Michigan, University of Houston and Baylor College of Medicine.

Research has shown that sensory experiences can impact a wide range of characteristics, including athletic performance, type 2 diabetes and aging. Nematode worms and fruit flies that were robbed of their ability to smell or taste, for example, lived substantially longer. However, researchers were unable to identify the specific odors and sensory receptors that controlled this effect on aging.

Researchers now have succeeded in identifying carbon dioxide (CO2) as the first well-defined odorant capable of altering physiology and affecting aging. Flies incapable of smelling CO2 live longer than flies with normal olfactory capabilities. They are also resistant to stress and have increased body fat.

To many insects, CO2 represents an ecologically important odor cue that indicates the presence of food, for example rotting fruit or animal blood. It also has been implicated as a stress pheromone and can warn of neighbors in distress.

"We are working hard to understand how sensory perception affects health, and our new result really narrows the playing field," lead author Scott Pletcher was quoted as saying. "Somehow these 50 or so neurons, whose primary job it is to sense CO2, are capable of instigating changes that accelerate aging throughout the organism."

"For us, it may not be the smell of yeast, for example, or the sensing of CO2 that affects how long we live, but it may be the perception of food or danger," said Pletcher. If so, a program of controlled perceptual experience might form the basis of a simple yet powerful program of disease prevention and healthy aging.

Small Changes Add Up for Weight Loss and Weight Gain

 

Many health experts contend that a “small changes” approach will work for weight loss and weight gain prevention.

In a commentary published in the November 2009 issue of the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, researchers describe the “energy gap” as a tool that can be used to address the gradual weight gain that occurs from consuming slightly more energy than is expended each day.

The energy gap is the degree of change that is needed in the energy balance point in order to reach desired body weight goals (e.g., to prevent weight gain or maintain weight loss).

The researchers estimate that an energy gap of about 100 calories per day could theoretically prevent weight gain in most adults. Because energy needs are lower after weight loss, a larger energy gap is needed for maintenance, and this estimate is individualized.  

The authors provide an example: to maintain weight loss, an energy gap of about 200 calories per day is needed for a 220-pound person losing 10% of body weight.

Since many people can lose weight, but very few are successful at maintaining the weight loss, promoting small, sustainable behavior changes may be one effective approach.

Researchers contend that this may be a means to larger dietary and physical activity changes that can result in more significant weight loss (Hill, Peters & Wyatt 2009).

Weight control strategies should focus on reducing energy intake and increasing expenditure. Current physical activity recommendations of 60–90 minutes a day for maintaining weight loss may be difficult for some individuals to achieve or sustain.

As clients strive to achieve this goal, applying individualized dietary strategies that work for successful weight losers—two examples are increasing fiber intake and including low-caloric-density foods—is crucial in helping individuals achieve and maintain a healthy weight.

How Do Thoughts Affect Health?

 

There are many studies showing that much of the diminished capacity we accept as a normal part of aging may be of our own making and that our views on the elderly need to be “reconstructed.” But it is our mindsets regarding health that are perhaps the most important to reconsider.

Research has not progressed as quickly as it might have regarding the mind’s influence on our health, in part because of the pervasive dualist belief in a mind distinct from the body. The problem that dualism creates is how we get from the nonmaterial mind (thoughts) to the material body. Although philosophers and psychologists of the past weren’t able to figure this out, we’ve all experienced the direct effects of the mind-body connection—a leaf blows across our face, startling us and causing our pulse to increase; we see someone vomit, and we feel nauseated; we watch lovemaking in a movie and get excited.

What happens if we put the mind and body back together? Wherever we put the mind, the body would be. We tested this idea in a series of studies where we put the mind in a “healthy place” (back in time when the body was healthy). We took many measures before we began the study and repeated them at the end. The results were dramatic.

In one study we took elderly men to a retreat and turned the clock back 20 years. The men were to live for a week as if it were 20 years earlier. They would speak only in the present tense about the past; view movies and television shows from that time; and participate in events like quiz shows, all from the earlier perspective.

A comparison group also lived at the retreat for a week, similarly engaged, but all their discussions about the past were discussed in the past tense. Their minds were clearly in the present looking back.

On many of the measures, the participants in both groups got “younger.” (Because those in the comparison group were treated with respect that implicitly conveyed our belief in their abilities, in contrast with the culture’s view of aging, they also improved over the course of the week.) Both groups came out of the experience with better hearing and memory and significantly increased grip strength.

The experimental group showed greater improvements in joint flexibility, arthritis measures and manual dexterity. On intelligence tests, 63% of the experimental group improved their scores, compared with only 44% of the control group. There were also improvements in height, weight, gait and posture. Finally, we asked people unaware of the study’s purpose to compare the photos taken of the participants at the end of the week to those submitted at the beginning of the study. All of the experimental participants looked noticeably younger at the end of the study. It seemed that we were able to turn back the clock, which led us to refer to our research as the “counterclockwise study.”

In study after study over 30 years, we’ve found that increasing mindfulness is itself good for our health. In several studies with older adults, we’ve found that increasing mindfulness even increases longevity.

10 riskiest foods

 

The Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) recently issued a list of the top 10 riskiest foods regulated by the FDA, based on the number of related outbreaks of food-borne illness reported since 1990.

Although it may seem counterintuitive, the list of offenders included a fair share of “healthy” foods, such as spinach, berries and tomatoes.

The severity of the effects tracked by the FDA ranged from minor stomach aches to death. In the case of leafy greens, the number-one riskiest food, the associated illnesses were attributed to pathogens such as E. coli, norovirus and Salmonella.

Salmonella was also cited as the primary culprit in outbreaks involving eggs, cheese and tomatoes, whereas potatoes were linked with both E. coli and Salmonella.

According to the CSPI, here are the top 10 riskiest foods currently regulated by the FDA, in descending order:

 

1. leafy greens

2. eggs

3. tuna

4. oysters

5. potatoes

6. cheese

7. ice cream

8. tomatoes

9. sprouts

10. berries

Daily Dose of Nuts Reduces Cancer Risk

 

A diet that incorporates a daily dose of pistachios may help reduce the risk of lung and other cancers.

"It is known that vitamin E provides a degree of protection against certain forms of cancer,” Ladia M. Hernandez, M.S., R.D., L.D., senior research dietitian in the Department of Epidemiology at the University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center, was quoted as saying. Higher intakes of gamma-tocopherol, a form of vitamin E, may reduce the risk of lung cancer.

"Pistachios are a good source of gamma-tocopherol,” said Hernandez. “Eating them increases intake of gamma-tocopherol so pistachios may help to decrease lung cancer risk."

Pistachios are known to be heart-healthy. They have a cholesterol-lowering effect and provide the antioxidants typically found in food products of plant origin. Hernandez and colleagues conducted a six-week, controlled clinical trial to determine whether the consumption of pistachios would increase serum levels of gamma-tocopherol.

"Because epidemiologic studies suggest gamma-tocopherol is protective against prostate cancer, pistachio intake may help," she said. "Other food sources that are a rich source of gamma-tocopherol include nuts such as peanuts, pecans, walnuts, soybean and corn oils."

The study, conducted at Texas Woman's University -- Houston Center, included 36 healthy participants who were randomized into either a control group or the intervention group, which ate a pistachio diet.

 After an initial baseline period, the intervention group was given about 2 ounces of pistachios per day. The control group continued with their normal diet.

Hernandez and colleagues found a significant increase in energy-adjusted dietary intake of gamma-tocopherol at weeks three and four in those on the pistachio diet. For those on the pistachio diet, cholesterol-adjusted serum gamma-tocopherol was significantly higher at the end of the intervention period.

"Pistachios are one of those 'good-for-you' nuts, and 2 ounces per day could be incorporated into dietary strategies designed to reduce the risk of lung cancer without significant changes in body mass index," said Hernandez.

Making Waves: Two New Exercise Trends

 

Crunches, leg lifts, and planks can get tedious and difficult, but now, two new exercise programs are changing the way both the young and the old get in shape.

Waving wands or waving ropes, workouts come in many forms. With ropes gone wild, you don't even have to leave the floor. It's a program that incorporates strength, cardio and core work -- with no impact.

"The kids get wild with it," Anthony DiLuglio, creator of Ropes Gone Wild told Ivanhoe.
“They work out, and they have fun. It's like play. We are creating play."

Diluglio says the concept is based on undulation -- or making wave patterns. He got the idea from an Israeli soldier, "he said the soldiers used to do this to release anxiety out in the field."

Diluglio thought it could help out in gym classes around the country, so he combined undulation exercise with push-ups to make kids stronger, physically.

"Now, I am strong," participant Sofia Silveira told Ivanhoe.

It also made an impact mentally. “Happy because you know you conquered the ropes," Riley Rancourt explained to Ivanhoe.

Conductor David Dworkin  is proving seniors can benefit from the power of music and moving. "I can remember certain performances where I was actually tingling," Dworkin explained.

Although he retired after more than 50 years in the business, Dworkin was not ready to give up his wand. That's when he decided to spread this mind-body connection to other seniors, calling it conductorcise.

Participant Gloria Marshall explained the program to Ivanhoe, "You feel the motion, and of course, the music and the rhythm. It was great."

"It made me feel young. It made me feel good," Christian Reiss described.

It's part aerobics, and part symphony. "They don't think it's exercise, but they are really increasing their pulse rate," Dworkin described.

Whether you're a senior or a junior, making waves can make a difference. Both programs offer training courses, so others can teach in their area. For more information about conductorcise, log on to conductorcise.com. For ropes gone wild, go to www.ropesgonewild.com.
