Read about the powerful therapies that can rebuild your health and reverse age accumulated damage...

There is a lot here this week to watch and read, but it will be worth it I promise, that is if you value your health and want to live a long healthy life.

I have been recommending Nattokinase for a long time for it's amazing ability to be a natural clot buster with no know side effects. Here I have included research that it may remove or dissolve the protein plaques associated with Alzheimer's disease. Personally I believe Serrapeptase does as well, but no study has proved it yet. I take both as Serrapeptase removes fibrous tissue or what is called scar tissue.

If you are taking a statin drug, here is another reason to think twice about it's risk reward level.

The experts are now recommending that vitamin D3 levels should be at the higher level when you get your blood tested. 50 - 60 ng/mL of 25(OH) is the optimal level. If you are 20 ng/mL or below, you are increasing your risk of developing all chronic diseases. Read for yourself and do watch Dr. Cannell's video.

K2 - (menaquinones 7), found in fermented natto and eaten by the Japanese, may be the reason they have such low heart disease, with it's ability to remove calcium deposits from your arteries and making your bones stronger. Studies suggest supplements are the best way to get this amazing nutrient.

And lastly, see why you should cut down your intake of potato chips and french fries, and watch a simple video explanation on Why Humans Age. This video explains why Resveratrol and IP6 should be a part of your anti-aging regime.

Enjoy the information and remember...

It's never too late to become younger!!!

Natto enzyme may reduce Alzheimer’s risk: Study...
Nattokinase, an enzyme extracted from fermented soy, may prevent the build up of certain plaques in the brain linked to Alzheimer’s, suggests new research from Taiwan.
The enzyme was found to be able to degrade amyloid fibrils that contribute to the formation of amyloid plaque that characterize Alzheimer’s disease, according to results of a lab study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.
“The discovery of an enzyme which can be safely taken orally and can degrade amyloid fibrils could be very useful in the therapy of amyloid-related diseases,” wrote the researchers from Taiwan’s Institute of Biological Chemistry, Academia Sinica, and the National Taiwan University.


Another Blow to Magic Bullet Drugs: Statins Impair Brains ...
(NaturalNews) Statin drugs can reduce soaring cholesterol levels, according to countless ads touting these supposed "wonder" drugs, that means they are brimming with health benefits because they lower the risk of cardiovascular disease. The problem is a host of side effects from eye problems and muscle pain to heart arrhythmias and liver disorders have been linked to these widely prescribed medications. Now comes research by an Iowa State University scientist that strongly suggests statins also could be robbing brains of thinking power and memory by doing exactly what they are supposed to do -- reduce cholesterol.


Brain Starvation As We Age Appears To Trigger Alzheimer's: Improving Blood Flow To Brain Is Preventive Strategy...
ScienceDaily (Dec. 28, 2008) — A slow, chronic starvation of the brain as we age appears to be one of the major triggers of a biochemical process that causes some forms of Alzheimer's disease.
A new study from Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine has found when the brain doesn't get enough sugar glucose -- as might occur when cardiovascular disease restricts blood flow in arteries to the brain -- a process is launched that ultimately produces the sticky clumps of protein that appear to be a cause of Alzheimer's.


Adequate intake of vitamin D can prevent diabetes...
Diabetes can be prevented, and the disease's complications for those diagnosed with it reduced, through adequate intake of vitamin D, says a report. "Vitamin D has widespread benefits for our health and certain chronic diseases in particular. This article further substantiates the role of this nutrient in the prevention and management of glucose intolerance and diabetes," said Sue Penckofer, Ph.D., R.N., study co-author and professor, Loyola University Chicago Marcella Niehoff School of Nursing.


Vitamin K2, but not K1, effective for heart health benefits: Study...
Increased intakes of vitamin K2, but not vitamin K1, may decrease the risk of coronary heart disease in postmenopausal women, says a new study.
For every 10 microgram increase in the amount of vitamin K2 consumed, researchers from the Netherlands report a 9 per cent reduction in the risk of developing coronary heart disease (CHD).
The effects were mostly confined to the higher forms of vitamin K2, namely menaquinones 7 to 9, according to results published online ahead of print in the Nutrition, Metabolism and Cardiovascular Diseases.
“Our findings may have important practical implications on CVD prevention, it is important to mention that in order to increase the intake of vitamin K2, increasing the portion vitamin K2 rich foods in daily life might not be a good idea,” wrote lead author Gerrie-Cor Gast from the Julius Center for Health Sciences and Primary Care at the University Medical Center Utrecht.
“Vitamin K2 might be, for instance more relevant in the form of a supplement or in low-fat dairy.”


Study provides additional evidence that potato chips should be eaten in moderation- Study...
A new study published in the March 2009 American Journal of Clinical Nutrition by Marek Naruszewicz and colleagues from Poland suggests that acrylamide from foods may increase the risk of heart disease. Acrylamide has been linked previously to nervous system disorders and possibly to cancer.


Video - A must watch video on Vitamin D...
Dr. John Cannell, with the Vitamin D Council and an expert on D3 research, explains the benefits of vitamin D against seasonal infections, flus, colds, etc and why its deficiency can harm general health.


Video - Why humans age...
While this video was produced to sell the product Longevinex, it is an amazing explanation as to why we age as we grow old. I really recommend you watch this, as it explains why I recommend on my site Resveratrol with grape polyphenols and IP6, as these phytonutrients address the overmineralization explanation of aging and offers a way to reverse these accumulated elements.
While resveratrol has recently gained widespread public and scientific attention for it age prolonging qualities, Longevinex® is a unique multi-ingredient dietary supplement that is more than just resveratrol. The ingredients in Longevinex® are designed to address five major theories of aging: the free radical/antioxidant theory, the hormonal theory (estrogen/testosterone), the mitochondrial (cell energy) theory, the cell cleansing or autophagy theory, and the metabolic, calorie restriction/Sirtuin gene activation theory. There is another theory of aging, Overmineralization, also addressed by the ingredients in Longevinex®, which may supersede and better explain other theories of aging.


Video - Why supplement your diet with nutrients like vitamins, minerals, CoQ10, Lipoic Acid etc.Dr. Diana Schwarzbein, M.D., discusses how she uses supplements in her practice and why they are needed today and why quality counts so much.

How to Slash World Cancer Rates By 90 Percent: Healthy Foods, Exercise and Vitamin D ...
(NaturalNews) Although you won't hear this from the cancer industry or the drug companies that profit from cancer, there's an easy, low-cost and remarkably safe way to slash cancer rates around the world by about one-third, says the World Cancer Research Fund: Promote healthy foods and exercise! (http://www.wcrf-uk.org)According to research just released by the WCRF, simple changes in diet and exercise can prevent nearly 40 percent of breast and pancreatic cancers, 36 percent of lung cancers, over 60 percent of mouth cancers, a quarter of kidney cancers and 45 percent of bowel cancers.Remarkably, these results were achieved without any mention of vitamin D! By adding vitamin D to the mix, which by itself has been demonstrated to prevent an astonishing 77 percent of all cancers (http://www.naturalnews.com/021892.html), cancer prevention rates approaching 90 percent overall can be easily achieved.


Two New Studies Document Natural Breast Cancer Fighters ...
(NaturalNews) A couple of words strike enormous fear in the hearts of countless women: breast cancer. And it's no wonder. American Cancer Society (ACS) statistics reveal it's the most common cancer among women in the United States, other than skin cancer. In fact, the ACS says a woman's chance of having invasive breast cancer some time during her life is about 1 in 8 and her chance of dying from the disease is about 1 in 35. However, there is a growing body of scientific evidence that natural substances are formidable weapons to both prevent breast cancer and halt its growth once cells are malignant. In fact, two new studies offer even more proof there are natural ways to fight breast cancer.


Some Diets May Be Better Than Others For Keeping Weight Off And Staying Healthy, Study Suggests...
ScienceDaily (Mar. 5, 2009) — Any diet will do? Not if you want to lose fat instead of muscle. Not if you want to lower your triglyceride levels so you'll be less likely to develop diabetes and heart disease. Not if you want to avoid cravings that tempt you to cheat on your diet. And not if you want to keep the weight off long-term.
