DIET: MILWAUKEE—A remarkable study that was published in the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine has revealed it may be possible to dramatically reverse the effects of aging with Benfotiamine. The study used subjects between the ages of 61-84 with the purpose of determining if aging effects such as decreased lean muscle mass, increased fat and thin skin could be slowed down or reversed. Dr. Rudman's startling discovery revealed that the men in this study emerged with bodies that by many measures were almost 20 years younger than the ones they started with. Listen, for example, to this amazing statement by Dr. Ronald Klatz, president of the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine: B1 in the form of Benfotiamine is 3 times more absorbable than thiamine and allows direct passage through cell membranes into the cell. We supply a whopping 27,500% daily value rating, which is well tolerated with no side effects. "The reality for 76 million Baby Boomers will be an average life span in excess of 100 years, with unexpectedly good health -- so much so, in fact, that you will scarcely be able to tell a fit and active 65-year old from a healthy and athletic 105-year-old."
WELLNESS: Are You Ignoring the Deficiency That Makes Your Brain Shrink? Did you know that if you live to be 80 years old, you have a 1 in 2 chance of suffering severe loss of cognitive function? And unfortunately, experts say the problem is only getting worse. Researchers are beginning to understand that age-related cognitive decline is linked to a process that involves a gradual decrease in brain mass. That's right, your brain actually shrinks as you age! The good news is that there's an extremely effective way to keep your brain from shrinking and protect it against the ravages of cognitive decline. It's an easy, inexpensive fix for a nutrient deficiency that, coincidentally, affects approximately 1 in 2 older adults. Research is showing that older adults with higher levels of B12 in their blood have bigger, healthier brains and score higher on memory and cognitive tests than those with lower levels. Studies have also shown that B12 supplementation can slow brain shrinkage.
CHIROPRACTIC: Studies confirm chiropractic treatment prevents heart attacks and lowers blood pressure Chiropractic treatment also has a significant effect on blood pressure and anxiety levels, according to a study reported in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics. The study examined systolic and diastolic blood pressure levels and patients' anxiety levels before and after an adjustment. In all cases, those subjects who received active treatment experienced a distinct drop in blood pressure and a decrease of their anxiety levels. Results of this study provide evidence that chiropractic treatment offers support to the cardiovascular system.
