Losing Weight The Easy Way

Okay, what does losing weight have to do with anti aging?

I think we'll agree that maintaining a healthy weight for your age is essential in the anti aging process. I just found a site that offers healthy, low calorie meals for those busy people that can't (or won't) take the time to fix a proper meal.

They provide a whole week's worth of food and snacks - there are several programs to choose from. They are delivered right to your door.

I looked through their menu options - boy, does it look good! A nice variety. I almost wish I had a weight problem - I'd love to try this out!

I'll bet your next question is price - it must be expensive, right? Not really - I was surprised there, too, especially considering the quality. 

If you meet any of these criteria:

• You have a weight problem you've been struggling with
• You hate to cook
• You're too busy
• You like variety in your food
• You WANT to eat healthy
• You want a flexible plan
• You need something affordable

Then you'll want to check out The Bistro MD.

Maybe losing weight CAN be easy and fun. Who knows? 

The Case For Using Dietary Supplements Just Got Stronger

More news from our friends at VRP (Vitamin Research Products) : Apparently a new study has been released that shows people that take multiple dietary supplements (not just a multivitamin) have better biomarkers of health.

What the heck is a Biomarker?

From the Dictionary: A specific physical trait used to measure or indicate the effects or progress of a disease or condition. For example, individuals were found to have lower levels of triglycerides and higher levels of HDL cholesterol (the good kind).

Who Participated in the Study? 

Both men and women. 278 long-term users of multiple dietary supplements, 176 users of a multivitamin/mineral supplements and 602 non-users of supplements were used to perform this study.  In the multiple supplement group, they each took a multivitamin, B complex, vitamin C, carotenoids, vitamin E, calcium with vitamin D, omega-3 fatty acids, flavoniods, lecithin alfalfa, coenzyme Q10 with resveratrol, glucosamine, and an herbal immune supplement.

Most of the women in this group also took gamma, linolenic acid and a probiotic supplement.  Most of the men took zinc, garlic, saw palmetto, and a soy protein supplement.

After adjusting a few things, researchers still found that the group who took multiple nutritional supplements had better biomarkers of health than the other two groups.  There were more healthy outcomes for the first group.  They reportedly also had “good or excellent” health status - 74% more often than the non-supplement group.

Researchers also noted that the non-user group and the multivitamin users had numerous nutritional deficiencies.  These included low vitamin C levels.

The researchers agree that the findings should be confirmed by studying supplement usage patterns, heath, and nutritional statuses of various people.

Hey, I've been saying it all along (The Case For Nutritional Supplements). It's good to see more studies done in that area.
