We know that to date the only scientifically known method of extending maximum lifespan is through caloric restriction without malnutrition.

What's interesting is that a landmark study has shown that supplementing with resveratrol (grapeseeds extract) has a very similar gene expression with caloric restriction.  In the experiment, calorie restriction reduced 90% of the gage-related alteration s in gene expression, and resveratrol mitigated 92% of such changes.  

This result means that we should be very serious about supplementing with resveratrol as a regular daily supplementation.

 In Life Extension Magazine - Super Sale 2006 issue, an article was about "The Misunderstood Vitamin."  In the article, it quoted scientific experiments concluding that vitamin K is needed for the bone to absorb calcium.  Without vitamin K deficiency, taking calcium supplements only causes the calcium to deposit on the arterial wall.

During the last annual physical, I was shocked to test high in trans fat. I eat super healthy.

Upon investigation, I finally zoomed to a few boxes of very delicious oil-free, salt-free walnuts that a friend of mine sent to me. Once I get started with these walnuts, I could not stop. They are delicious and crispy. It would not take much time for me to consume a box. I knew I should not eat too much nuts at one time because its calories. However, my excuse was at least it's healthily cooked.

Well, as I dig deeper, I wondered why I am not so addicted to the home roasted raw walnuts. It does not taste that great. The meat is more oily (non-crispy) and bitter. I suddenly realized that to make the delicious nuts crispy, the manufacturer has to put the nuts through high temperature drying process. Oils, especially polyunsaturated oils may oxidize and hydrogenate under really high temperatures.

So be careful about oils (such as nuts) under high temperature.

Indeed, nature makes foods that naturally limit your appetite. Human learned to process delicious unhealthy foods that can greatly increase your appetite.

In YBM, we have introduced to our members in YBM Diet a few wonder seeds, flaxseed, wheatgerm, chia, quinoe, black sesame, as replacement to common starchy carbohydrates such as rice and wheat flours and their cooked products (steam rice, bread, etc.).  In our online Coach, we also showed videos and recipes of how to eat these wonder seeds.

In our continuing research for wonder seeds, we are glad that hempseed passed our high criteria as a wonder seed.  So now we recommend to add hempseed into our shopping list for the first time.  Here is a good article about the nutritional value of hempseed.

Many of us ask how a water purifier and alkaliner works in the body.  We all know that many processed foods are highly acidic, and that the normal metabolic process produce acid in the body.  Therefore, the body has to constantly combat against acidity.  When alkaline buffer in the body is insufficient, the body has to pull calcium out of the bones to keep its pH equilibrium.

I have run into an article by Dr. Sang Wang, author of the book, Reverse Aging.  I think it cannot be said better in explaining how alkaline water works in the body. 

Basically, as alkaline water reaches the stamoch, stamoch releases hydrochloric acid in order to keep the normal stamoch acidity of around pH of 4.  During this chemical reaction, not only the hydrochloric acid is produced, but also sodium bicarbonate or potassium bicarbonate, which goes to the blood stream, is produced, the later acting as alkaline buffer to combat with the acidity of the body, thus giving the body a total alkaline gain.

To read more about this, go to this article here.  For a quality selection of water alkaliner and filtration system, go to YBM store - Diet Section.
