L-Carnitine reduces physical and mental fatigue, improves cognitive
function in centenarians
A report published in the December, 2007 issue of the American
Journal of Clinical Nutrition described the results of a study
conducted by Italian researchers which found a positive effect for L-carnitine
(levo-carnitine) on energy levels and cognitive function in individuals 100
years of age and older. The age-related decline in L-carnitine, which plays a
role in cellular energy metabolism, could be involved in the fatigue
experienced by many older individuals.

| Restrict your calories 30% and live 30% longer?
|
|
Are there any shortcuts to a long life? Well, some people
like Meredith Averill, 61, and her husband, Paul McGlothin, 60, believe
they may have the answers and they're putting themselves to the test in
their quest for longevity. The couple have been practicing
calorie restriction for the last 14 years. Calorie restriction is the
only proven way to extend life in animals and, now, studies are getting
started in humans. Averill and McGlothin are the subjects of
one such study. As calorie restrictors they eat only specific amounts
of foods that are high in nutrition but low in calories -- foods like
vegetables, fruits and beans.

What is a Nutraceutical:
A Nutraceutical is any vitamin,
mineral, supplement, trace element or bio-botanical plant based substance which
has known healing value to people and is produced or isolated for public
consumption with the highest purity – pharmaceutical grade purity. It is a very
exacting process to make a true Nutraceutical which involves sending the
healing substances from plants to a biotechnology company where the active
ingredient of benefit to people is highly concentrated and then standardized to
a milligram dose so it can be controlled properly.

|

"Wherever flaxseed becomes a regular food item among the people, there
will be better health", said Mahatma Gandhi. He was right. The true
nature of flax as a health food has been known for centuries. In the
8th Century, Charlemagne considered flax so essential for health that
he actually passed laws requiring its use. Flax was one of the original
medicines, used by Hippocrates himself.
