Quote of the Week
When it comes to eating right and exercising, there is no "I'll start tomorrow." Tomorrow is disease. ~V.L. Allineare

Procrastination is a killer. Time waits for no one. The earlier you start, the better off you are. Research has shown that over time, for every one minute you spend on exercise, you gain two minute of longevity. This is by far your best investment. I want you to start investing in yourself. Following my anti-aging food pyramid is an excellent start.

That's A Good Question!
Question: I wish to know if there are any nutrient supplements that can be used for gastritis or ulcerative colitis or general prevention of gastric problems. Particularly does beta-carotene play any role in these situations?
I wish to know if beta-carotene or similar nutrients can be taken prophylactically for general good health of the GI tract. What is your view on L-arginine, NAC, Glutamine, melatonin, isoflavonoids and trace elements?

Answer: Beta carotene is not one that is usually associated with GI health. UC is a difficult problem, but yes, there are many things that can help, provided you have a logical and systematic approach.

Beta carotene is not specific for the GI tract. There is no harm to take beta carotene, unless you are a smoker, in which case low dose is not good and actually can increase lung cancer risk. For general health, beta carotene 10-20,000 IU is fine. L-arginine is a precursor to nitrous oxide, the most potent vasodilator in the body. It therefore is helpful in cardiovascular system enhancement as well as a potential "Viagra" substitute. Note that high doses are required, about 4-6 grams a day, together with vitamin C.

Melatonin is an excellent antioxidant. Most people are unaware of its fantastic use. I use it routinely, not for sleeping and circadian cycle management, but for cancer, especially breast cancer. Interestingly, melatonin’s effect is not dose dependant. Dosages of 0.5 to 50 mg are very safe.NAC is a precursor to glutathione and is very good in helping the liver's detoxification process.

Isoflavonoids are good, but don't overdo it, as the latest research is showing mixed results.Trace elements are a gray zone. Some people can benefit. You can get blood test for trace element analysis prior to proceeding.

As you can see, each nutrient has specific function. There are over 1000 specialized nutrients out there, and depending on your goal, normally only 10 is enough. Overtaking may not be good, and there can be undesirable interactions, not to mention the binders and fillers in each pill.

That's A Good Question!
Question: I am a blood O type and love both avocados and balsamic vinegar. Are these two items extremely bad to have if I am trying to drop those last 5 to 10 lbs?

Answer: Both avocado and vinegars are in the Type O Diet to avoid. Avocado is high in fats, so it is not good to take it for weight losing purposes. Type O has a naturally high acidic stomach, according to Dr. Peter D'Adamo. So it is better to avoid foods that can additionally increase the acidity of the stomach. For best weight loss regime is to eat more green leafy vegetables and salads, cut off most sugar and visible fats. Increase your physical activities.
