But when you eat the apple, rather than sugar, you get so much including fibers (soluble and insoluble), vitamins, water, antioxidants, enzymes and probiotics. When you eat the sugar its empty, nothing else comes with it like with the apple. So next time there is a choice between fruit and cake, grab the fruit and GO RAW!

Save Your Brain with Magnesium-L-Threonate

Alzheimer's disease and memory loss in America is hitting record numbers. Low magnesium status can accelerate brain cell aging and memory loss. Standard magnesium offers limited protection to brain cells. Magnesium-L-threonate is a new form of magnesium that dramatically boosts levels of magnesium in the brain. Boosting brain magnesium with magnesium-L-threonate enhances synaptic density and plasticity, the structural basis of learning and memory. In numerous experimental models, supplementation with magnesium-L-threonate has been shown to enhance memory and cognitive performance in multiple tests.

Low Carb Diet May Slow Tumor Growth

A British Columbia recently compared a low carb diet to the typical "Western" diet in mice. The "Western" diet is high carb and low protein. Both groups of mice were fed the same amount of calories. Mice fed the lower carbohydrate diet exhibited lower blood glucose, insulin, and lactate levels. Mice that were genetically predisposed to develop breast cancer that were fed a Western diet had rates of 50% by age one, whereas no tumors were detected in mice being fed the low-carbohydrate diet over the same time period. This study supports the concept that many cancers may be influenced by chronically elevated blood sugar levels and associated hormones.

Practice Patience

According to the American College of Sports Medicine, most people quit a new fitness program within three to six months, with many never returning to regular activity after that. The biggest reason for the  drop in fitness activity is lack of patience. You have to fight through the rough patches of no results. When you quit your body is just ready to start turning the corner but you don't get to see the results if you stop exercising. many factors play a role in how fast or slow your body response to exercise. For example: intensity of workouts, nutrition, stress, sleep, and genetics are just a few of factors you have to control and consider before rushing and baling out on you program. What ever you do remember this is a healthy lifestyle change not a microwave fix. DON'T QUIT!
