New Tricks for Getting Rid of Toxins in Your System

As the 'Go Green' movement gains momentum and you become more environmentally conscious, it's also important to remember your internal environment too. Taking steps to rid your body of harmful toxins is crucial to keeping your body energized and rejuvenated.* That's why I recommend adding nutrient-rich Premium Chlorella to your diet. It helps detoxify and strengthen your body's internal systems.*

Despite most people's best intentions, we still live in a very toxic world… we're surrounded by toxins of all kinds, some worse than others.

The good news is — there are many "green" efforts underway around the globe to help us all make better life choices… to cause less impact to the earth.

Let's face it, you're continuously bombarded with toxic influences in your environment. That's why it's crucial for you to use environmentally-friendly products that cause less impact to our planet.

But even if you try to "go green" environmentally, you may still end up with unwanted toxins inside your body.

Going forward, I recommend that you commit yourself to eating all-natural unprocessed foods as much as possible. This should help limit your future exposure to environmental toxins.

Plus, it's important for you to start removing as many impurities from your body as possible.

When it comes to removing toxins already in your system, I believe you need a smart treatment protocol to begin to detoxify your body as soon as possible.

So here's…

How You Can Detoxify with a Well-Researched Green Food-Based Formula

A few years ago, I was fortunate to team up with one of the world's leading authorities on detoxification, Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt. Together, we produced a paper published in the Journal of Nutritional and Environmental Medicine (March 2001).

From our studies, we both concluded that an amazing natural green algae, chlorella, is an excellent source for detoxification.*

Chlorella works to effectively filter out toxins from your body.*

Our exhaustive work on the article further convinced me to offer you the best chlorella I could find: the Broken Cell Wall Chlorella formula.

The broken cell wall chlorella supplement is an excellent detoxification agent* – but that's not all. There are many other ways it can benefit you…

And there's one very powerful technical reason…

Why There's Really No Comparison Harvested from the pristine waters of the Ishigaki Islands of southern Japan, the Broken Cell Wall Chlorella utilizes an exclusive advanced processing technique.

This unique processing breaks open the plant's cell wall and unlocks chlorella's nutritional bounty for your optimal bioavailability*. This simply means you can absorb and digest the chlorella at high levels.*

With the special processing of broken cell wall chlorella, very little of its nutrient power wastes away. In fact, an independent animal study by the Japanese Food Hygiene Association showed the digestibility of broken cell wall chlorella to be an astounding 83%.*

See the chart below as to how broken cell wall chlorella advanced processing technique compares to other common ways used to treat chlorella.

There's really no comparison… this is what makes broken cell wall chlorella so special and why I selected it for you to use.

Digestibility key:

Commonly available heat-treated chlorella

Untreated whole-cell chlorella

Within the Broken Cell Wall Chlorella formula, there's one very important benefit I feel you should know more about and understand…

Why Phytonutrient-Rich Chlorophyll is so Powerful

Years ago in ravaged, post-war Japan, the people faced a serious nutrient shortage.

Out of this shortage, the Rockefeller Foundation and the Japanese Government co-sponsored research on growing, harvesting, and processing chlorella on a large commercially-available scale. Why? The chlorophyll-rich green algae showed tremendous nutrient-rich value to help solve the shortage problem.

Chlorophyll's nutrient-rich properties can promote growth and repair of your body's tissues.*

Japan was not the only country to face nutrient shortage issues after World War II.

Through my colleague, Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt, I learned of a woman who lived in China during the post-war.

She told Dr. Klinghardt how her village gained the nutrients they needed by taking nutrient-rich chlorella.

So, this is more historical evidence as to the extraordinary natural nutrient source provided by chlorella… a pure green algae rich in chlorophyll.

But what are the specific benefits that chlorophyll can provide you?

Here are just a few benefits you may experience as chlorophyll…*

• Aids you in processing more oxygen*
• Cleanses key elimination systems like your bowel, liver, and blood*
• Helps purify your blood and clean away toxins*
• Aids you in promoting optimal blood pressure*
• Supports elimination of molds in your body*
• Helps neutralize bad air you might breathe in*
• Promotes growth and repair of your tissues*

From all this, you should see the natural power chlorophyll can provide you.

Broken Cell Call Chlorella is an excellent nutrient-rich pure source to help you detoxify and complement your healthy diet*. Now I want to take you a little deeper so you can better understand… How Chlorella Works So Well in Your Body

My studies convinced me chlorella plays a crucial role in systemic detoxification — because the majority of toxin removal happens through your stool.*

Once the detoxification occurs in your intestines, toxins from other body tissues more readily migrate into your intestines — where chlorella helps effectively remove them.

* Chlorella consists of a fibrous, outer shell (20%) with inner nutrients (80%). It's this fibrous, tough cell wall which binds with toxins. * In addition, a clean bloodstream with an abundance of red blood cells to carry oxygen is necessary to support your strong natural defense system. * Chlorella's cleansing action on your bowel and other elimination channels, as well as its protection of your liver, helps promote clean blood. * And clean blood helps assure metabolic waste get efficiently carried away from your tissues.
* So, would any old chlorella formula do all this?

Not necessarily…As with any supplement I recommend on my site, I established stringent criteria to find you the ultimate chlorella formula: broken cell wall chlorella. This thorough process ensures you can take full advantage of all the benefits chlorella has to offer. My strict criteria for selecting a top-notch chlorella supplement for you? It must:

• Deliver a pure whole food formula that is highly digestible
• Be all-natural without synthetic ingredients
• Come from a highly reputable company with the strictest quality control and safety standard practices in place

Chlorella's cleansing action on your bowel and other elimination channels, as well as its protection of your liver, helps promote clean blood.*

And the Broken Cell Wall Chlorella supplement passes all of my tough criteria with flying colors. It's by far the best chlorella formula I've found to date.

With all the amazing benefits of the broken cell wall chlorella formula, whatever you do…

Don't Settle for Inferior Quality

As you probably already know from other supplements I offer on my site, it's not enough that the product itself is superior to others.

The developer and manufacturer of chlorella must also demonstrate proven quality and safety standard practices.

There are literally hundreds, if not thousands, of chlorella supplements on the market today… but there are only a few great ones out there… and even fewer utilize the advanced processing technique of the Broken Cell Wall Chlorella formula.

That's why I spent many long months researching to identify what I believe is one of the top chlorella supplement manufacturers in the world today.

Here's why I firmly believe the manufacturer of the broken cell wall chlorella supplement clearly stands apart in quality standard practices:

• Awarded ISO 9001 certification for quality management systems
• Obtained ISO 9001-HACCP certification for food safety — HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) is a 7-point system where food manufacturers identify potential hazards that can be introduced during the production processes. They then must thoroughly demonstrate and verify how such hazards can be eliminated.
• Awarded patent for its unique outdoor sunray cultivation process for chlorella ultra fine powder
• Continually passes quality checks under strict sanitary management scrutiny certified by the Japan Health Food & Nutrition Food Association
• Produces naturally cultivated chlorella in exclusive open-air cultivation pools using pristine quality water and bright sunlight

You should clearly see why I chose this manufacturer to provide you with the highest quality Broken Cell Wall Chlorella supplement.

Don't ever settle for a supplement not solidly backed by a manufacturer practicing the highest quality and safety standards.

To you, quality means a consistent top-of-the-line product every time you use it.

How High-Quality Means Exceptional Value You Can Rely On

Chlorella is one of the most heavily researched algae in the world. Chlorella is also a very popular algae — with millions of satisfied users.

It is one of the most common supplements used in Japan today. The Japanese people frequently take it by adding it to tea, soup, milk, juice, noodles, yogurt, and other foods.

There are thousands of research papers on chlorella from medical institutions, scientific journals, and universities. At one time, NASA even earmarked chlorella to be grown on the international space station.

The bottom line: chlorella is an amazing green food-based supplement with research backing up its overall safety and effectiveness.

And with its exclusive advanced processing technique, the broken cell wall chlorella supplement delivers the consistent high quality and reliability you've come to expect.

I feel this is a remarkable formula that will help you in so many ways.

And here are…

My Top Reasons for You to "Go Green" Now

Now you should understand why I'm so excited to bring you this extraordinary broken cell wall chlorella formula. It passed all of my stringent selection criteria for a supplement to offer on my site.

It's simply a remarkable natural whole green food-based supplement, packed with nutrient-rich chlorophyll.

Let me quickly summarize all this for you with my top 5 reasons why you should order the incredible Broken Cell Wall Chlorella supplement without delay.

The Broken Cell Wall Chlorella supplement has the potential to:*

1. Help you remove potentially toxic metals from your body*

Take Action Now and Rejuvenate Your Body with the Nutrient-Packed Green Power of Chlorella

Isn't it time you took action and ordered the broken cell wall chlorella supplement today?

With my extensive research and experience, I've taken all your guess-work out of finding the optimal chlorella supplement.

When using chlorella our experience suggests it is best to work your way up to 50 tablets per day, over 7 days. This may sound like a lot, but these are very small pills. You can continue at this dose for one to several months, and then lower the dose 5 pills, three times a day.

A small number of people may notice an allergic reaction, typically less than 1%. If you notice any allergic symptoms, you will want to stop until your symptoms clear, then restart at the lower dose.

Sure, there are chlorella supplements offering even higher per tablet dosages. But how confident will you feel about their digestibility and absorbability?

And how satisfied will you be with the quality of their manufacturing processes?

Because with my broken cell wall chlorella formula, you know you'll benefit from:

Is Krill Oil 48 Times Better Than Fish Oil?

Krill oil is made from krill, a small, shrimp-like crustacean that inhabits the cold ocean areas of the world. Despite their small size, krill make up the largest animal biomass on the planet. There are approximately 500 million tons of krill roaming around in northern seas..

Krill oil, like fish oil, contains omega-3 fats such as eicosapentanoic acid (EPA) and docosahexanoic acid (DHA). However, in fish oil, these omega-3 fats are found in the triglyceride form. In krill oil, they are found in a double chain phospholipid structure. The fats in human cell walls are in the phospholipid form.

The phospholipid structure of the EPA and DHA in krill oil makes them much more absorbable. Krill oil also contains vitamin E, vitamin A, vitamin D and canthaxanthin, which is a potent anti-oxidant.

The anti-oxidant potency of krill oil is, in terms of ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorptance Capacity) values, 48 times more potent than fish oil.

The astaxanthin found in krill oil provides also excellent protection against ultraviolet light and UV-induced skin damage.

Dr. Mercola's Comments:

Tim Ferriss is the author of the blockbuster New York Times best seller The Four Hour Work Week, which was one of the best books I read last year. I subscribe to his blog and was surprised to find the above article. It was written by Dr. Michael Eades, who wrote another great book Protein Power, which provides some solid insights on how to improve your health.
I was delighted to learn that Dr. Eades is also in agreement with my own conclusion regarding recommendations for omega-3 supplementation.

Although I still recommend both fish oil and cod liver oil in some cases, I believe krill oil is an EVEN BETTER option for most people, for several reasons. Personally, I take krill oil every day. I particularly appreciate the fact that the omega-3 is attached to phospholipids that dramatically increase its absorption, especially into brain tissue.

Its only drawback is that it does not contain more than a trace of vitamin D, which is nearly as important as omega-3 fats. You can remedy this however, by making sure you’re getting plenty of appropriate sun exposure as that is your best source of vitamin D anyway.

Why I Recommend Krill Oil to All New Patients

As you may know, I’m not a major fan of too many supplements as I believe your best source for optimal nutrition is through whole foods. Krill oil, however, is one of my exceptions as most Americans consume far too few omega-3 fats, and way too many omega-6s.

Your ideal ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fats is 1:1. Today, however, most people’s ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 averages from 20:1 to a staggering 50:1.

Those kinds of ratios spell serious danger to your health. So serious, in fact, that even the mainstream health media now reports that lack of omega-3 is one of the most serious health issues plaguing contemporary society.

As far as supplements are concerned, two of the best yet simple ways to improve your overall health include:

1. Increasing your intake of antioxidants
2. Increasing your intake of omega-3 oils

And krill oil accomplishes both of those missions.

I used to recommend that you take fish oil to enhance your intake of omega-3 fats. And high-quality fish oils are certainly great products with many important health benefits. However, fish oil is weak in antioxidant content, whereas krill oil contains potent antioxidants.

This is a major drawback for fish oil, because as you increase your intake of omega-3 fats by consuming fish oil, you actually increase your need for even more antioxidant protection.

Why?

This happens because fish oil is quite perishable, and oxidation leads to the formation of those unhealthy free radicals. Therefore, antioxidants are required to ensure that the fish oil doesn't oxidize and become rancid inside your body. So, you need to consume additional antioxidants both for your health in general, AND for your increased need for antioxidants when using fish oil.

The Antioxidant Potency of Krill Oil is 48 Times Higher than Fish Oil

Antioxidants are your body's primary way to neutralize free radicals — those harmful metabolic byproducts that damage cells and tissues throughout your body.

Scientific evidence has repeatedly demonstrated that antioxidants are a cornerstone in the promotion of heart health, boosting your immune system, and memory support. They also appear to play a role in helping to slow your signs of aging.

Although many foods contain antioxidants, today's poor-quality diets are nearly always insufficient in the full range of these beneficial free radical scavengers.

So when you consider that the anti-oxidant potency of krill oil is 48 times more potent than fish oil, well… choosing between the two is easy.

If you’re still not convinced of the antioxidant powers to krill oil, independent ORAC evaluations have also established that genuine Neptune krill oil contains:

• Over 300 times the antioxidant power of vitamin A and vitamin E
• Over 47 times the antioxidant power of lutein
• Over 34 times the antioxidant power of coenzyme Q-10

Pretty impressive, wouldn’t you say?

To top it all off, krill oil also contains astaxanthin – a unique marine-source flavonoid – that creates a special bond with the EPA and DHA, which allows direct metabolism of the antioxidants, making them more bioavailable.

Why You Need Omega-3 From Krill Oil

In a perfect world, you would be able to get all the omega-3s you need by eating fish. Unfortunately, the vast majority of our fish supply is now so heavily contaminated with industrial pollutants and toxins like mercury, PCBs, heavy metals and radioactive poisons that I just can’t recommend it any longer.

Even the slow-to-react FDA and EPA have put out health advisories warning against certain fish and shellfish consumption for young children, women who are pregnant or may become pregnant, and nursing mothers.

I believe krill oil is the perfect substitute for fish consumption as krill is not plagued with the problem of heavy contamination. Being on the bottom of the food chain, krill simply do not have enough time to accumulate dangerous levels of toxins like other marine sources.

Krill has been shown to be beneficial for a really wide range of health issues, including:

• Support for concentration, memory and learning
• Blood sugar health
• Healthy joints, with an increase in joint comfort
• Fighting signs of aging
• Protection for cell membranes
• Cholesterol and other blood lipid health
• Healthy liver function
• Relief of normal PMS symptoms
• Bolstering your immune system
• Healthy mood support
• Optimal skin health

Krill Oil is a Potent Treatment for Inflammation and Arthritis Symptoms

Several studies have been published on the remarkable effectiveness of krill oil, including a 2007 study in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition, which evaluated the effect of Neptune Krill Oil (NKO) on patients with chronic inflammation and arthritis.

After just 7 days of treatment, krill oil reduced inflammation by more than 19 percent, while the placebo group had an increase of inflammatory C-reactive protein of nearly 16 percent! It also significantly reduced pain scores, reduced stiffness and reduced functional impairment.

After 14 days of treatment, krill oil further decreased inflammation by almost 30 percent, while the inflammation levels of the placebo group increased more than 32 percent.

The study concluded that krill oil at a daily dose of 300 mg significantly inhibits inflammation and reduces arthritic symptoms in as little as 7 to 14 days!

Krill Oil Can Boost Your Brain Function and Ameliorate Mental Problems

According to another study published in the Alternative Medicine Review last year, double-blind, randomized, controlled trials have found that DHA and EPA in krill oil benefits a variety of brain- and mental disorders, including:

• Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder
• Autism
• Dyslexia
• Aggressive behavior
• Cognitive impairment and dementia
• Huntington disease (a neurological disorder characterized by abnormal body movements)

Meta-analyses also confirm krill’s benefits in major depressive disorder and bipolar disorder, and show promising results in the treatment of schizophrenia.

A Final Note on Quality

Quality is of the essence when selecting any supplement and krill oil is no exception. The only kind of krill oil I recommend is genuine Neptune processed krill.

Neptune krill is collected in pristine deep-water seas far from industrial areas, and is harvested in compliance with international conservation standards. It’s also processed through a cold extraction method that preserves the biological benefits of the krill, and creates an oil that is free of heavy metals, PCBs, dioxins and other contaminants.

So avoid any brand that only has "krill" oil and look for one that you are certain contains Neptune krill oil.

The list of dangers seems endless for all the goblins, witches and ghouls this Hollow’s eve. Many kids are under-dressed for the cold weather, visually impaired by their masks . . . running around with sharp wands, waving swords and flashing light sabers searching for sugary candies to plunder. Add to that the dangerous baggy costumes, flowing capes and flapping tapestries set to flame by misplaced Jack-o-Lanterns, decorative lights or out-door candles.

Yet, after considering all things . . . nothing compares to a hidden danger lurking in the shadows long after Halloween is gone and over.

According to the most conservative study I could find . . . Americans consume on average about 40 pounds of sugar per person, per year. That’s more than one and a half ounces of sugar per day. 1999 report information is the Economic Research Service [ERS] of the United States Department of Agriculture.

Of course those sugary calories are hidden in soda pops, fruit juices and other less obvious sources. (The Economic Research Service estimated that data on weight of sugar sold.) The ounce and a half of daily sugar doesn’t include honey, sorghum or High Fructose Corn syrups.

Regardless, an ounce and a half of sugar consumed per person per day is ridiculously high. Most studies suggest the reality is many times worse. Bottom line is Americans are destroying their health by eating all this refined and processed sugar.

Refined sugar and High Fructose Corn syrup is contributing directly to the emerging epidemic of diabetes we see in young people today. In fact new evidence states that High Fructose Corn Syrup may be responsible for causing chromium deficiencies.

And all diabetics have at least this one thing in common; they all have a chromium deficiency.

Considering it has been estimated that 25% to possibly 50% of Americans are chromium deficient . . . it’s no wonder diabetes is approaching plague proportions in the U.S.

Keep in mind that tissue levels of chromium tend to decrease with age. However, considering that adult on-set of diabetes has increased more than six-fold between 1950 and 2000 . . . it could be a sign that Americans are aging “biologically” much faster than ever before.

Truth is it may very well be because of refined sugar consumption.

The new science of biology reveals how your genes are controlled by what foods you eat. Simply put, eating refined sugar can lead to heart disease and the painful symptoms of diabetes.

More Type 1 diabetic children are being born today than ever before in medical history. Plus young adults are developing diabetes Type 2 in their 20’s and 30’ now . . . when it used to be during their 30’s and 40’s.

Fact: A child can be “pre-disposed” to being diabetic from diet habits as far away as two generations. That’s means, your Grandmother’s diet, before your mother was born, can either help or hurt your chances of being diabetic. Now because the majority of American calories come from sugary drinks and soda pop, diabetes is skyrocketing.

Bottom line, food can be your medicine or your poison . . . your trick or your treat, the choice for health is yours.

Here are 7 the main side effects of Halloween sugar binging:

1. High blood sugar triggered depression
2. High blood sugar triggered inflammation
3. High blood sugar triggered acne
4. High blood sugar triggered fatigue
5. High blood sugar triggered hypertension
6. High blood sugar triggered migraines
7. High blood sugar triggered heart disease

. . .and you don’t even want to know what the eighth one is.

There are always healthier choices than following mainstream consumerism. For example, did you know that “unrefined flour” has 40% more chromium than refined flour and “unrefined natural sugar” has 93% more chromium than refined sugar?

So all I’m saying is to get educated now so you can avoid being medicated later . . . diabetes can be prevented and it can be cured. If you don’t believe me now, I guarantee you will later because I’ll prove it to you. But right now you need to know that pre-diabetes or insulin resistance is just as deadly as full-blown diabetes, so here’s some tips to take the TRICK out of your Halloween TREATS.

• Feed your sweet tooth with real chocolate. Milk chocolate is NOT real chocolate. Your local health food store will have real organic chocolate bars. You’re looking for 60-75% cacao bean content. Warning organic chocolate is not only extremely healthy for your heart, it’s delicious.

• Oven toast magnesium rich pumpkin seeds in the oven using a little olive oil and sea salt. Most people throw them away, but pumpkin seeds are highly nutritious and the sea salt gives you the trace minerals you need for a healthy body.

• Make pumpkin granola bars, bread or cookies. Pumpkin is a powerhouse of nutrition, low in calories, fat free and rich with beta carotene, potassium and fiber.

Have fun by being creative . . . and think “seasonal.” Halloween is a celebration of the autumn harvest moon, there is just no reason to ruin your health during such a healthy time of year.

These simple ideas turn tricks into treats and treats into superfoods that can help eliminated the risk of developing heart disease and the symptoms of diabetes.

Live well,

Americans don’t have to be reminded about the health value of regular exercise. But a new study points out that even one workout can make a difference in how the body oxidizes or burns fat. There are apparently fewer excuses than ever to say, oh, someday, there will be time for a regular exercise program. One brisk walk or trip to the gym can change your metabolism for the better.

The report is even more relevant and hopeful for someone who is overweight or at risk for typc 2 diabetes because it involved obese women (at 20 percent heavier than a healthy weight).

REVEALED: NEW DIABETES REVERSAL REPORT - How to Reverse Diabetes DRUG FREE in
4 Weeks from Today, Using Safe Proven Home Remedies. CLICK HERE TO READ MORE

Scientists at the University of Michigan followed five obese women in the study. In one session, they allowed the women to overeat and not exercise. In a second session, the women were allowed to overeat again, but this exercised after their meal. In many ways, they were simulating everyday life.

What the researchers found is that exercise might play an even bigger role in reducing weight gain and diabetes risk than previously believed and especially compared to diet changes alone.

In the first session of overeating and no exercise, the body’s fat-burning capability was reduced after just that one day of overeating. The volunteers’ fat levels were measured the morning after overeating/exercise sessions and included a muscle biopsy. This reduction in fat-burning or oxidation is what leads to fat by-products remaining in muscle tissue and leading insulin resistance that is so destructive in type 2 diabetes.

During the second session, it was evident that just one bout of exercise increases fat-burning capacity and reduces insulin resistance in the muscles. Instead of fat by-products remaining in muscle due to overeating, the exercise effect is to flush out those by-products. Just one workout can “steer” fat to be burned rather than accumulated, said the researchers.

“Exercise decreases everyone’s insulin resistance and therefore reduces the chances of developing diseases such as type 2 diabetes,” said Andrea Cornford, a researcher on the University of Michigan’s team. “This study shows that even a single bout of exercise helps obese individuals increase their body’s fat-burning rate and improve their metabolic health.”

The overeating element in this study is consuming a meal that was up to 700 calories more than a typical lunch or dinner l for U.S. adults. Other research shows eating a meal that is not only high in calories but also saturated fat can predispose the blood vessels to heart attacks in the 12 to 24 hours after the meal.

These studies make a strong case for adopting the smaller, more frequent meals approach long prescribed by sports nutritionists aiming for ways that athletes can stay fueled throughout a full day of workouts and/or games. One practical advantage to eating five to six “mini-meals” is you will less hungry between breakfast/lunch/dinner and not tempted to select a junk-food snack. This type of meal plan is a main feature in Barton Publishing’s new diabetes report, helping to prevent or reverse diabetes.

Moreover, it appears that overeating might not just affect your body physiology but also your mind.

A 2008 study connects a single high-fat meal (Danish pastry with added whipped cream, cheese, whole fat yogurt) with a cognitive decline in older adults immediately following the meal in contrast to a control group that consumed only water. The researchers did find that taking a dose of vitamins C and E did offset a significant portion of the decline.

Not surprisingly, exercise is also associated with reducing depression and cognitive “fog,” both over the long-term and after just one session. There’s another reason to fit in exercise when you can, even if a regular exercise program seems unattainable. Plus, there is a happy result of even sporadic exercise: It can feel so energizing that you might decide the time is now to stay with a consistent workout plan.

Whether you call it sweat or the more proper, “perspiration,” it appears getting a bit clammy while working out protects against exercise-induced asthma attacks.

A new study by scientists at the Naval Medical Center in San Diego evaluated 56 otherwise healthy Marines who were challenged with such symptoms as wheezing, coughing or breathlessness during high-exertion spurts of physical activity. Those Marines who sweated more suffered fewer systems.

That’s the kind of opposites attraction you are looking for in life.

The study was published in this month’s issue of the medical journal Chest. The researchers suggested that the “same mechanisms” that generate a person’s sweat volume also dictates the amount of water secreted by the lungs’ airways. In contrast, the Marines who perspired less also experienced more problems and, likely, drier airways. A lack of moisture in the airways tends to constrict the passages and lead to breathing disruption during the workout.

Not surprisingly, sweating more during exercise also leads to greater saliva and teardrop production. As we all learned in school—gee, wasn’t health class fun?—sweating is a natural process and some of us perspire more than others. Like Michael Jordan, one of the coolest human beings in history, who would stand dripping at the free throw line during Chicago Bulls games. But the researchers were clear: Don’t purposefully overheat yourself during exercise (no rubber suits allowed); that can be dangerous.

While the 56 Marines in the study (whose bodies were voluntarily manipulated with medications to induce airway narrowing and heavier-than-normal sweating) are no doubt elite athletes, Dr. Warren Lockette, lead author of the study, has a first-hand look at how exercise-induced asthma can affect Olympians. He is medical adviser to the University of Michigan’s women’s swimming team (and, yes, he bumped into mega-gold medalist Michael Phelps regularly in Ann Arbor).

“It is unclear why so many elite athletes have exercise-induced asthma,” Lockette said as part of the study’s release. “It is possible that they manifest symptoms of exercise-induced asthma simply because their levels of exertion and breathing rate are so high compared with the average, competitive sportsman.”

In his work as chief researcher at the Naval Medical Center and formerly as a medical officer with the Navy SEALS, Lockette was keenly aware that some young recruits were blocked from becoming divers or special warfare operations participants because of exercise-induced asthma. It motivated him to look deeper at the problem, which is especially vexing for how it fells such highly conditioned individuals.

The study results confirmed some measures that Lockette already suggested for University of Michigan swimmers and others who train in Ann Arbor and with the Olympic program.

“We found that by controlling air quality during workouts, as well as by providing individualized attention to our athletes’ hydration and nutrition, we could reduce the limitations imposed by hyperreactive airways in many individuals,” said Lockette.

“It now appears that how much fluid your airways secrete could be a key determinant in protecting you from exercise-induced asthma,” he said. “So, if athletes sweat, drool, or cry, at least they won’t gasp.

If you are wondering, yes, you can sweat profusely during a fitness swim. It might not seem like it, but laps in the pool can be a superior cardiovascular workout. Phelps, for instance, regularly exhorted Michigan football and basketball players about the quality of swimming workouts. Braylon Edwards, a star wide receiver for pro football’s Cleveland Browns and former Michigan standout, was persuaded enough to make swimming part of his off-season conditioning. He ran track drills in the water one day and swam the next.

That water-workout thing turned out sort of OK for Phelps. Let’s see if Edwards gets along as swimmingly is his chosen sport this fall.

Being consistent? It’s almost a lost art form these days. How many professional ballplayers play for one team their entire careers? For that matter, how many people work for just one company? Who never grows up and raises kids in their same hometowns? Which of your friends truly listens to you each time?

For anyone diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, there is a lot to be said for consistency, circa 2008 or not. A September study published in the New England Journal of Medicine shows that people with Type 2 who carefully and tightly control their blood sugar can lower risk of heart attack and death over a long time frame.

Researchers call it a “legacy effect” and makes a strong case for following a successful eating plan and dietary supplement routine in the first 10 years after diagnosis (something you can read about in extensive detail in the new Barton Publishing diabetes natural remedy report). The study points out the protective element of the legacy effect is established in that first decade after diagnosis.

There’s a parallel here. People who go on diets and then off diets are found to gain more weight back than they lost, inadvertently adding pounds when good intentions slip away. The yo-yo dieting also wreaks havoc with the immune system and unduly taxes the heart, lungs and kidneys. A person would be better off eating a mostly healthy diet featuring fresh produce and whole grains while still splurging on the occasional deep-dish pizza or chocolate mousse rather than cycling near-starvation diets with late-night raids of the fridge.

In the new study, researchers at the University of Oxford in England studied more than 4,200 newly diagnosed diabetes patients. They found careful control of blood sugar also lowered kidney disease and vision loss, two common and scary effects of unchecked diabetes. Public health officials in both England and the U.S. took the opportunity of the study’s release to re-emphasize that people with Type 2 diabetes who are consistent (there’s that word again) with monitoring their blood sugar will improve quality of life for years ahead.

What’s instructive is to realize keeping a tight control on blood sugar also helps a diabetic individual to connect what foods and supplements are helping—and what part of an eating style might be causing more problems than some favorite foods are worth (and it’s just sugar we are discussing here; the new Barton report names a number of common foods that are surprisingly unhealthy for anyone with Type 2 diabetes). There are some superfoods for Type 2 diabetes, and at least one will surprise you as well.

Anyone with Type 2 diabetes would do well to re-consider relaxing their blood sugar reins, especially if you were diagnosed less than 10 years back. But, honestly, this new study acknowledges that while a bit more slack after the first decade appears to be less harmful, the researchers made it clear at a professional meeting in Europe this month that they plan followup studies to track if the people who stay loyal to blood sugar monitoring might reap other benefits not evaluated in their study.

Plus, blood sugar monitoring is becoming less demanding for the patients. New technology (yes, some of it is good, such as our ability to connect online) is rapidly developing to allow wrist-watch monitoring with frequent readouts—all at an affordable price.

This is no ordinary fish story. And it’s far from a tall tale.

Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh’ s Graduate School of Health have just published a new study showing that eating fish high in omega-3 fats might be the greatest protector against heart disease. Here’s why. Men in Japan consume, on average, 3.75 ounces of such cold-water fish as salmon, mackerel and tuna each day. American males, whether white or Japanese-American, eat less than two servings of fish each week—and typically not fish high in omega-3 fatty acids at that.

What’s most groundbreaking about the Pitt study, appearing in the Aug. 5 issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, is that Japanese men born after World War II who otherwise adopted a Western lifestyle since childhood still experience less than half the rate of coronary disease and related deaths as U.S. men. Factor that Japanese men smoke in higher numbers and have similar percentages of high cholesterol and high blood pressure.

It’s got to be the fish. You may turn up your nose at the thought of mackerel, which is oily and, well, smells fishy. But it is a staple in Japan and a nutritional powerhouse.

Or maybe you turn up your nose at fish altogether, even a (I think) delicious piece of poached salmon with a lemon-orange-sea salt-and-olive oil sauce. No problem, look for a fish oil supplement that by most accounts will provide the same protection as the seafood itself, particularly if you buy brands that live up to their promises of omega-3 content. Nutritionists tell me regularly they most admire the Dr. Dave's Best - Super Omega 3 products:

One note about products: The two most potent omega-3 fats are docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). DHA and EPA are abundant in salmon, tuna and mackerel—and you will want them in your fish oil capsules.

The lead researcher, Dr. Akira Sekikawa, assistant professor of epidemiology at Pittsburgh, says the new study “tells us that lower levels of heart disease among Japanese men are much more likely lifestyle related than a result of genetic differences.” The point is underscored by the high heart disease risks endured by third- and fourth-generation men who emigrated to the U.S.

That’s one scientific finding that didn’t get away.

Probiotics or friendly bacteria are most known for fighting the good fight against unhealthy bacteria in your gut. Most of us now understand that some bacteria can be positive for health, and that eating yogurt with its live active cultures is a good way to increase the friendly bacteria in our guts.

It’s also one of the reasons why fewer of us are willing to take antibiotics without a very good reason. Highly popular antibiotics kill all bacteria, bad and good. Your gut tends to be worse for it.

So more of us are willing to add yogurt to our diets and maybe even kifer, the live culture drink. Don’t forget sauerkraut as an excellent source of friendly bacteria. Some people, typically persuaded by natural health practitioners, have added probiotic supplements to their daily intake. Good idea, by the way, but be sure to seek advice from practitioners you trust about the best brands.

What’s exciting about probiotics, circa 2008, is new studies this year have been pointing to probiotics as having anti-inflammatory properties. One study found that probiotics reduce C-reactive protein levels, which are high in individuals with autoimmune disorders (basically inflammatory diseases). C-reactive protein is increasingly gaining momentum as an important risk marker for coronary heart disease.

Moreover, researchers in Britain showed that long-distance runners who add probiotics to their regimen will incur fewer infections during intense training periods. In fact, the runners taking probiotic supplements were able to recover from colds, flus and other infections in half the time of runners not doing so. This finding suggests that probiotics can boost the immune system.

(You can get FREE Probiotics when you try the Ultimate Colon Cleanse through this link: www.DoAColonCleanse.com - see page for details)

It all adds up to making sure you are getting enough good-guy bacteria in your food and supplements. Natural health practitioners, including colon specialists, are steadfast in explaining that we can lose good bacteria as we grow older and/or take too many prescription drugs that destroy the bacterial balance in the gut. A proper balance is roughly 80 to 85 percent good or friendly bacteria to ward off the remaining bad-guy bacteria that are virtually unavoidable in today’s world.

There’s more. Probiotics also help you digest carbohydrates more efficiently (and less, well, turbulently). Plus, probiotics will lead the body to produce more B vitamins, which fight off stress and enhance memory.

All pretty friendly stuff, bacteria or not.

Here's a pic of me rapelling down a cliff with my "Inconceivable" t-shirt on (thanks Mike!):

Here's a pic of me with 3 awesome internet entrepreneurs, Yanik Silver, Mike Hill and Mike Filsaime. I really appreciate these guys, and it was great to be on top of a mountain with some of the internet's smartest thinkers and "doers":

We also had the opportunity to meet with about 75 cool kids in Aspen, in a round-table discussion of being an entrepreneur. We spent a couple hours sharing helpful strategies and ideas to help these kids realize they can accomplish their goals if they set their mind to it and take some risks. This is a pic of me with a 12-year old future-millionaire, Garrett. He's already got an ebay business, and he was taking a slew of notes, which was awesome to see!

One of the most memorable parts of this trip was the opportunity to meet Frank McKinney. He is a maverick by anyone's definition. He builds multi-million dollar mansions on the Gold Coast in Florida - he's about to unveil a $29 million "green" home in February - and then uses the proceeds to help build houses and orphanages in poverty-stricken Haiti. Frank's home office is a treehouse in his backyard, and in February I'm planning to attend his Ultimate Tour of Extremes. If you're looking for a charitable organization to contribute to, I highly recommend Frank's Caring House Project.

The day after I got home from Aspen, I was riding bikes with my kids in the driveway. I told my 7 year old, Sedric, that I'd race him around the driveway. Sure enough, he was beating me… until he wiped out around a turn and unfortunately he broke his leg. It bummed him out for a few days, but now (one week later) he's doing a lot better. He's making the most of using his wheelchair around the house, and we're trying to get him to use his crutches more. School starts Wednesday, so thankfully he had some time to practice. Here's a pic of Sed in the hospital, playing with his new Webkins online. Hey, maybe he'll be the next young entrepreneur of the family!

UPDATE: Here's a picture of Sed in his cool green wheelchair, singing karaoke on our Wii - he's adapted quite well to his new mode of transportation, and I'm very proud of his great attitude through this challenge!

I hope you enjoyed these pics and another glimpse into the life of an internet entrepreneur. I'm blessed to be able to work from home, and I'm thankful for everyone who visits Barton Publishing and recommends our natural remedy reports to their friends and family.

God bless you & yours!
