With the holidays coming up remember moderation when you are invited to all those holiday celebrations. The average American will gain 5-10 lbs over the next couple of months. It is amazing how fast we can put it on and how difficult it is to take it off. This is another area where PREVENTION rules.  Take great care of yourself, eat healthy balanced meals, exercise and you will sail through the holidays at your fighting weight!

 

The gift of nutritional supplements is great for everyone you love!  Give them the gift of health and well-being, give them Body Language Vitamin Co. state of the art nutritional supplements this year.

 

Can you get the nutrients you need from healthy foods?

 

I am frequently asked (primarily by skeptical nutritionists and physicians) as to why I believe that you cannot get all the nutrients you need from a healthy diet. Well in reality, you can, however you would have to consume massive amounts of the food to get what your body needs to maintain optimal health. Please see several examples below:

 

To get as much A, C, D, E, Thiamin, Riboflavin, B6 (that is in Body language Vitamin Co Multi Vitamin/mineral formula alone) you would need to consume: 15 carrots, 4 oranges, 10 eggs, 112 tbsp of peanut butter, 119 cups of rice, 59 cups of milk and 36 potatoes each and every day! This does not even discuss our antioxidant formula, which provides the resveratrol antioxidant power of more than 7 glasses of red wine (without the dangers of the alcohol consumption, not to mention the potential weight gain!).  

 

Looking at our Essential Oils formula, you are getting more than 300% of the daily fish requirements of EPA and DHA (the critical fish oils, minus the dangerous heavy metals, like mercury and other contaminants like the PCB's because our oils are molecularly distilled for your safety and health) 

 

Our Essential oils formula provides ~1668 mg of EPA/DHA.

 

 

Dietary Phytoestrogens and lung cancer risk 

(JAMA Sept 28, 2005 Vol 294 No 12)

 

Schabath et al studied 1674 patients with lung cancer and had 1735 healthy control subjects. They found that the risk of lung cancer tended to decrease with an increased intake of phytosterols, isoflavones, lignans and phytoestrogens.  (You can get some of these important nutrients through a diet rich in fruits and veggies, additionally, Body Language Vitamin Co MVI, Antioxidant, Essential Oils, PMS and Menopause formula have important phytonutrients…no I am not recommending PMS or Menopause formula for men just to get more phytoestrogens!)

 

Dr. Seidman’s book titled Save your Hearing Now is at Time Warner Publishing house in the editing phase. It is due on shelves by the summer. 

 

We need to do more about protecting our hearing. It is a precious and often overlooked resource, UNTIL IT IS GONE!  This book outlines important preventive measures and provides scientifically validated strategies to slow and in some cases reverse hearing loss, using a patented and proprietary system.  Keep an eye (or an ear) out for the book, you are sure to love it.

 

 

Mitochondrial role in aging  (Kujoth et al Science 2005; 309:481-484)

 

A fascinating article published in Science has shown that mitochondria (the power house of the cells) is linked to aging!  I laugh as our laboratory and others for the past 25 years have already demonstrated this! However, it is encouraging to have your studies replicated and validated.  They concluded that “If scientists can successfully improve mitochondrial function and reduce apoptosis (programmed cell death) in animal models, then we can begin to think about pharmaceutical interventions to retard aging by preserving mitochondrial function  THIS IS PRECISELY WHAT OUR FIRST PATENT WAS AWARDED FOR!! THE ANTI-AGE-ENERGY FORMULA BY BODY LANGUAGE VITAMIN, SAFELY AND EFFICIENTLY ENHANCES (more than preserves) MITOCHONDRIAL FUNCTION!  ADDTIONALLY THE ESSENTIAL OILS FORMULA DOES THIS AS WELL. (This serves my comment well, that the best way to keep a secret regarding fascinating research is to PUBLISH it!  We published some important papers related to the subject!

We also have another patent pending that extends upon the one alluded to above and it has also demonstrated to increase mitochondrial function and even reverse some DNA damage that occurs in the mitochondria that signifies aging (the ingredients are in the antioxidant formula, MVI, anti-age energy, and the essential oils formula). Take our FLAGSHIP four supplements and you are well covered.
