3 nutrients to help reverse the damage

If you enjoy eating meat every now and then, you know how hard it is to pass up a char-broiled steak, ribs that are fresh off the grill or a few slices of perfectly roasted chicken.

But before you throw your next grass-fed steak under the broiler… before you grill that next batch of ribs… there’s something you should know.

When you cook your meat at high temperatures, it causes sugar molecules to become cross-linked with proteins. The same thing happens when you caramelize foods like onions or carrots.

These cross-linked proteins are called advanced glycation end products (AGEs). Continue reading →

Hearing loss affects people of all ages
When it comes to your hearing, nutrition is everything
What about that ringing in your ears?

You might think you’re too young to be concerned about hearing loss. But that’s just wishful thinking. Hearing loss can start at any age.

In fact, here in the U.S., almost 28 million people between the ages of 20 and 69 have some form of hearing loss. And men in these age ranges are twice more likely than women to develop hearing problems.

There are many things other than age that contribute to hearing loss. Exposure to loud noises, of course, is a big one. If you’re diabetic or anemic you’re also at greater risk. Smoking and alcohol use contribute to hearing loss, too.

Then, there are the medications you take. Continue reading →

Does dry skin have you itching and scratching?
How to moisturize from the inside out
Winter skin begs for more of the sunshine vitamin

If you live in a cold or dry climate, you know how harsh it can be on your skin. This kind of weather can give you skin that’s dry, itchy, flaking, cracking, bumpy and downright annoying.

The problem begins when you start losing the natural oils your skin cells make to keep water trapped inside your body. These oils are what keep your skin feeling soft and supple.

But during the winter months, indoor heat sucks the moisture right out of your skin. And if you’re like most people, you probably start overcompensating to correct the problem. Continue reading →

You’re never too young to protect your bones against breaks and fractures
Why calcium alone isn’t enough
Here’s my secret formula to prevent fractures

When I talk to younger and middle-aged patients about shoring up their bone density, they often look at me with confusion. “But doc, I’m only 52. I don’t have to worry about that for years!”

What most folks don’t realize is that your bones reach maximum strength and density around age 30. After that, bone mass gradually starts breaking down.

You won’t notice it at first. You’ll still feel strong and be able to do the same things you’ve always done… right up until the minute you experience a break or fracture!

Which eggs are healthiest?
Clearing up the mystery behind organic, cage-free and free-range eggs
These are the kind of eggs I buy

Up until a few years ago, most folks considered eggs off-limits. If they ate them at all, they separated out the whites, and threw the most nutritious part – the yolk – into the garbage disposal.

Well, now that eggs are off the hook when it comes to cholesterol and heart disease, you may be eating one or two of them a day – yolk and all.

This is great. The yolk is the part of the egg that’s highest in choline, which is an important brain food. If you don’t have enough of it, it can affect your memory and brain volume. Continue reading →
