Jason's Blog: November 2014

Scientists have discovered “chemicals found in everyday fruits could minimise organ damage after heart attack and stroke”.

Here is another study backing up the ground-breaking research from 2013 on how meat changes your gut bacteria into TMAO.

The heading to an article in a UK paper on October 23, 2014, read as follows; “Britain’s oldest gym buff who turned 100 credits yoga and champagne with longevity”

The problems with the new "green healthy" Coke are many.

I talk a great deal about how we can prevent and treat heart disease and asthma through diet and lifestyle changes with science confirming the same thing.

Another example of what I call “controlling your genetic expression”.

Most people believe (as the media has told them), that living a long healthy life is luck, “good genes” and beyond the reach of normal folk. Not so true.

The Nielsen Company released research in November looking at the snack choices of New Zealanders.

When the idea of plain packaging for cigarettes was first suggested, people protested and said they did not agree with it – especially smokers. Now this has changed.

Sadly, the message around “kids should not drink until they are 18-21” seems to be lost on Australian and New Zealand parents.

Alcohol intake is what has caused the rapid, shocking and preventable” increase in death rates.

This is not just happening in the UK but right here in NZ and Australia as well.

We know that obesity is directly linked to high blood pressure, heart disease, type II diabetes and many lifestyle cancers. Now the link to rapid liver aging has been revealed.

You may think heart attacks runs in the family but actually it is diet and lifestyle choices that run in families.

The long term research just keeps on coming and it is not all sexy “saturated fats are good for your heart” news…

This means your body fats mix is improved and your blood quality is improved.

The “World Cancer Research Fund International ‘Continuous Update Project Report: Diet, Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Breast Cancer Survivors 2014’” has given us some fantastic advice.

This large research project from the American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR) confirmed how a plant-based diet and a healthy lifestyle lowers breast cancer incidence.

“Foods that Fight Cancer” is an article from the October 15, 2014 issue of AICR’s Cancer Research Update.

This is a great article by William Anderson, MA, Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, Weight Loss Expert, and Author of “The Anderson Method”, putting the blame squarely where it belongs – just as it was for the cigarette companies.

Researchers have announced that adults in the United States have suffered about 14 million big medical conditions directly connected to smoking.

This British Medical Journal found that “Higher red meat intake in early adulthood may be a risk factor for breast cancer, and replacing red meat with a combination of legumes, poultry, nuts and fish may reduce the risk of breast cancer”.

Another massive study find that the more red meat you eat, the higher your risk of breast cancer.

This U.K. population-based study found “an independent association between gout and subsequent development of diabetes”.

The manlier you are, the more you drink, goes the cliché, except I thought manliness was connected with his incredible ability to procreate…?

This kind of research has surfaced before but interesting to see it again and with such thorough investigation behind it.

The studies on olive oil are very conclusive; it is very good for heart health.

Beware of the media suddenly reporting something that seems too good to be true.
