In the laboratory, glycation’s effect on living tissues was found to be identical to the process by which meat is browned when cooked at high temperatures.  Healthy proteins also turn brown in the presence of excess gulcose and become functionally impaired.

Scientists have confirmed that this destructive process may also occur in healthy individuals when blood glucose levels are sustained above 85mg/dL, a commonplace occurrence after a heavy meal is consumed.

The damage inflicted by glycation is irreversible.

Fortunately, a relative of vitamin B1 called benfotiamine protects cells to prevent glycation and the accelerated aging triggered by elevated sugar levels.  Used as a prescription drug in Europe, benfotiamine is available in this country as a nutritional supplement.

Compelling new data confirms benfotiamine’s power to lower risk of heart disease, stroke, kidney damage, and vision loss by neutralizing the impact of excess glucose and subsequent glycation.

Benfotiamine Blocks Glucose Damage

Your body has several natural mechanisms to cope with the chemical toxins produced by excess glucose. These defense systems all require vitamin B1 (thiamine) as a cofactor.  When your system is awash with excess glucose, however, your thiamine supplies become depleted.  In fact, elevated blood sugar and diabetes have been referred to as states of “relative thiamine deficiency.”

Taking additional thiamine as a supplement doesn’t significantly protect against the glucose-induced tissue damage because thiamine is water-soluble and your body can’t retain thiamine at levels high enough to prevent cumulative damage.  A thiamine derivative called benfotiamine, however, is fat-soluble and can significantly increase thiamine levels within tissues and sustain them throughout the day.

Raising cellular thiamine levels with benfotiamine has been found to block the effects of glucose damage to your body’s tissues.  Benfotiamine activates a vital enzyme (transketolase) which converts toxic metabolites induced by high glucose levels into harmless byproducts. Benfotiamine also inhibits activation of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kB), an underlying cause of deadly inflammatory reactions in the body.

Through its multi-targeted mechanisms, benfotiamine helps mitigate the multiple negative effects of excess glucose on body tissues.

Phosphatidylserine (PS) is a phospholipid that is found in all cells, but is most highly concentrated in the walls (membranes) of brain cells, making up about 70% of its nerve tissue mass. There it aids in the storage, release and activity of many vital neurotransmitters and their receptors. Phosphatidylserine also aids in cell-to-cell communication.

Phosphatidylserine is involved in the upkeep and restoration of nerve cell membranes. Among its list of functions, phosphatidylserine stimulates the release of dopamine (a mood regulator that also control physical sensations, and movement), increases the production of acetylcholine (necessary for learning and memory), enhances brain glucose metabolism (the fuel used for brain activity), reduces cortisol levels (a stress hormone), and boosts the activity of nerve growth factor (NGF), which oversees the health of cholinergic neurons.

Research has shown that dietary supplementation with phosphatidylserine can slow and even reverse the decline of learning, mood, memory, concentration, word recall related to dementia or age-related cognitive impairment in middle-aged and elderly subjects.

Dr. Salerno now offers Phosphatidylserine in a high potency formula.  Each serving contains 100mg of pure Phosphatidylserine formulated to be free of allergens derived from: Gluten, corn, yeast, artificial colors and flavors.

It’s a fair guess that if you’ve been eating the normal American diet two things have happened: your weight has crept up and your energy has gone down.  This is not your fault.  To have lived in this country for the past 30 years was to be pelted with more fake facts, fake foods, and fake science than any time in the history of mankind.  But you can turn that around.

Dr. Salerno’s patients, some of whom began with Dr. Robert Atkins, are living proof that one can eat plenty of natural fats, protein, wholesome vegetables, fruits, nuts and grains prepared in time-honored methods and live long and vigorous lives.  And the bottom line is it is an easy protocol to follow- there is no pain or punishment involved- only satiety and reward.

Dr. Salerno’s Silver Cloud Diet can save lives and change the way America eats, one person at a time. Order the book today and get step-by-step instructions for normalizing your weight, improving your health and extending your life!

But if a diet, and I am speaking of a way of eating, not specifically a weight-loss diet, is impossible to maintain because it is lacking in flavor and leaves you hungry and with cravings for certain foods, it is only a matter of time before it becomes a former diet. In the decades since the American government has advocated a low-fat diet, the obesity epidemic has exploded.

Low Fat Is High Carb

A low-fat diet, by definition, is inherently a high carbohydrate diet. That’s because when you restrict fat, you are restricting protein as well, since meat, poultry, fish, cheese, and most other forms of protein contain good amounts of fat.

What you are left with, then, is carbohydrates, which encompasses an array of foods. (Most foods contain some combination of fat, protein and carbohydrates.) Low-glycemic (“good”) carbohydrates are typically whole foods like leafy green vegetables, brown rice, lentils, raspberries, and hundreds of other vegetables, fruits and whole grains.

Then there is the endless array of high-glycemic (“bad”) carbohydrates that beckon from the supermarket shelves, including the processed, refined offerings such as cookies, chips, syrupy drinks, white bread and so on.

By definition, high glycemic foods have a dramatic impact on blood sugar levels within a couple of hours after consumption. In contrast, low glycemic foods raise blood sugar levels more slowly and moderately. In addition, dairy products contain carbohydrates along with fat and protein.

Most Fats Are Fine

When you control carbohydrates, you don’t have to keep track of how much fat — other than trans fats, known as hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils, which are to be avoided at all costs — you are eating.

That means that you can enjoy a lamb chop, salmon, olive oil on your vegetables and in your salad dressing and whipped cream on fresh raspberries, without feeling guilty. In fact, all these fats carry flavor, which makes food more satisfying.

When you eliminate most fat from your diet, you yearn for flavor, which can often lead to overeating. Fats provide a comforting satiety in a way that carbohydrates don’t, which is why high-fat, low-carb diets like The Silver Cloud Diet are more popular and more sustainable than low-fat diets.

Joshua D. Lambert and his associates utilized a breed of mice susceptible to the development of diet-induced obesity, type 2 diabetes and atherosclerosis.  The mice were allowed to eat as much as they wanted of a high-fat diet, and half were supplemented with EGCG.  After six weeks, mice that received EGCG-enhanced diets were found to have gained weight 44% less rapidly than those tht did not receive the compound. The group that received EGCG also had a 29.4% increase in fecal lipids, indicating a reduction in fat absorption.  In an in vitro experiment, epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) was shown to inhibit the pancreas’ production of lipase, an enzyme that breaks down fat.

Important Note: The Green Tea Extract provided in Dr. Salerno’s Daily Essentials Factor provides more polyphenols than drinking the equivalent of three cups of green tea.  And green tea powdered extracts have been shown to absorb 60%-90% better into the bloodstream and to be far more bioavailable than drinking green tea itself.

Although the human equivalent of the amount of EGCG used in this study would be found in ten coups of green tea per day, Dr. Lambert remarked that, “Human data- and there is not a lot at this point – shows that tea drinkers who only consume one or more cups a day will see effects on body weight compared to nonconsumers.”

Other Green Tea Benefits Include:

• Scavenging reactive oxygen species such as superoxide and the hydroxyl and peroxyl radical
• Fluid-stabilizing properties
• Promoting weight loss
• Boosting the effectiveness of enzymatic phase II detoxification
• Helping maintain healthy cell proliferation
• Helping maintain healthy blood cholesterol, LDL and triglyceride levels already within normal range
• Enhancing immune function
• Displaying protective effects on brain tissues

Stress management can be a powerful tool for wellness. There’s evidence that too much pressure is not just a mood killer. People who are under constant stress are more vulnerable to everything from colds to high blood pressure and heart disease. Although there are many ways to cope, one of the best things you can do to fight stress both during the holidays and everyday life is to eat a diet high in protein and stress-fighting foods and stay away from sweets and simple carbs.

Top Stressing Fighting Foods

Fatty Fish- Omega-3 fatty acids, found in fish like salmon and tuna, can prevent surges in stress hormones and protect against heart disease, mood disorders like depression, and premenstrual syndrome.

Almonds- Almonds are chock full of helpful vitamins. There’s vitamin E to bolster the immune system, plus a range of B vitamins, which may make the body more resilient during bouts of stress such as depression.

Avocados- One of the best ways to reduce high blood pressure is to get enough potassium — and half an avocado has more potassium than a medium-sized banana. In addition, guacamole offers a nutritious alternative when stress has you craving a high-fat treat.

Spinach- Too little magnesium may trigger headaches and fatigue, compounding the effects of stress. One cup of spinach goes a long way toward replenishing magnesium stores. Not a spinach eater? Try some cooked soybeans or a filet of salmon, also high in magnesium. Green leafy vegetables are a rich source of magnesium.

Black Tea- Research suggests black tea can help you recover from stressful events more quickly. One study compared people who drank 4 cups of tea daily for six weeks with people who drank a tea-like placebo. The real tea drinkers reported feeling calmer and had lower levels of cortisol after stressful situations.

Other High Protein Stress Fighting Foods include Organic Steak, Cage-Free Eggs, and Full Fat Cheeses

Vitamin and Herbal Supplementation to Combat Stress

Another effective method of stress relief management involves the use of vitamins. Taking in extra nutrients helps to ensure that the body will have adequate amounts in store to combat stress. Quality supplements help replenish stores and alleviate stress-related symptoms. Among the most important stress vitamins are the B-complex vitamins and antioxidants. Several minerals, such as magnesium and zinc are often depleted when a person is under stress. Certain herbs including green tea, St. John’s Wort, and Cocoa are of also of great value in combating the effects of stress and anxiety.

• Emotional Aide Factor with Cocoa
• Daily Essentials Factor
• Anti-Aging Factor
• Lithium Orotate

Karin B. Michels, from Harvard School of Public Health (Massachusetts, USA), and colleagues assessed the urinary bisphenol A (BPA) levels of 75 healthy men and women, ages 18 years and older, who consumed homemade soup for five consecutive days, and then ate canned soup for another five days in a row. Urinary levels of BPA averaged 1.1 mcg/L during the homemade soup segment, but reached 20.8 mcg/L during the canned soup segment.

“The absolute urinary BPA concentrations observed following canned soup consumption are among the most extreme reported in a nonoccupational setting,” the researchers wrote in a research letter published in the Nov. 23/30 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association.

Observing that: “The effect of such intermittent elevations in urinary BPA concentrations is unknown,” the team urges that: “Even if not sustained, [it] may be important, especially in light of available or proposed alternatives to [BPA-containing] epoxy resin linings for most canned goods.”

Study “Neuroprotection by Spice-Derived Nutraceuticals: You Are What You Eat!” Abstract

Numerous lines of evidence indicate that chronic inflammation plays a major role in the development of various neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, brain tumor, and meningitis. Why these diseases are more common among people from some countries than others is not fully understood, but lifestyle factors have been linked to the development of neurodegenerative diseases. For example, the incidence of certain neurodegenerative diseases among people living in the Asian subcontinent, where people regularly consume spices, is much lower than in countries of the western world. Extensive research over the last 10 years has indicated that nutraceuticals derived from such spices as turmeric, red pepper, black pepper, licorice, clove, ginger, garlic, coriander, and cinnamon target inflammatory pathways, thereby may prevent neurodegenerative diseases. How these nutraceuticals modulate various pathways and how they exert neuroprotection are the focus of this review.
