Protect Your Cells from SUGAR DAMAGE

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

We all know that sugar is not good for us for a plethora of reasons, but did you know that excess blood sugar can lead to GLYCATION which accelerates body wide aging.

Diabetics already suffer accelerated glycation, but the destruction that happens from glycation can happen to people with normal blood glucose levels as well.

Thiamine is a B vitamin you get from foods like whole grains, meat, legumes and nuts. It helps cells in your body grow and work and is essential for energy production and brain health. Research suggests that Vitamin B1 (thiamine) can prevent diabetes induced damage in eyes, hearts and kidneys.

Remember, if you take B Vitamins, make sure they are methylated to ensure your body can absorb them.

I’m always talking about safer, better and less expensive

You hear me yapping about how I can promise you better, safer and less expense in your shopping if you shop where I do.

This week I received another reminder—my monthly shipment of Riverbend Ranch beef is coming soon, but I needed more ground beef before it arrived for an upcoming barbecue get-together. I ran out to a local store even though I am committed to wholesome beef when I am cooking – it is a major part of my eating to help me stay in focus. I was surprised when I picked up my package, I am pretty sure I hid my “sticker shock” when I paid for it.

I’m also pretty sure the store brand is not PRIME or HIGH CHOICE that was aged for 21 days right on the ranch Like my Riverbend Ranch beef is. Plus, it was nearly twice the price at $10.10 per pound. My Riverbend Ranch is $5.50 per pound (in a combo pack)

RIVERBEND RANCH BLACK LABEL IS:

– Never Raised with hormones or antibiotics. NEVER EVER!

– Every cut is graded USDA Prime or High Choice and aged 21 days for maximum flavor and tenderness.

– Fully vertically integrated. We control quality through every step in the supply chain.

– Humanely treated and pasture-raised in open spaces by their own mothers.

– An extraordinary value for unmatched quality and flavor!

Take t from me, it is worth it!

Want to Slow Down the Aging Process?

AVOID THESE 8 HABITS

Often, we are attracted to products that will help us slow down the aging process, such as anti-aging skin care. But what about taking a proactive approach to staying young by AVOIDING habits that ACCELERATE the aging process?

When you read the Fox News article , overall, none of this should be new to you by now, except #8. That might be a surprise. But the two habits that you have the most control over are #3 and #4. 

  • “A nutrient deficient diet has been shown to accelerate aging, experts agree.” That’s why we need to supplement. Several essential minerals are missing from our food these days.
  • “A diet high in processed foods, sugars and unhealthy fats can cause inflammation, damage collagen and accelerate skin aging.” A recent study claims that eating a hotdog reduces life expectancy by 38 minutes, and eating salmon could extend it by 70 minutes. So it’s a good idea to watch how often you eat processed foods
  • “Lack of exercise contributes to aging by causing muscle loss, bone density reduction, weight gain and cardiovascular issues.” No surprise here. We all have been repeatedly told exercise is foundational to our health—so what will be you’re exercise of choice. Mine is rowing..

Which habit can you most easily improve upon?

Brain Aging Reversed by almost 3 Years.

A recent clinical study showed that biological brain aging was reversed among participants who were in a nutritional supplement program for 13 months.

In the study, participants were assigned to take a tailored program of supplements that included (but not limited to)

  • Vitamins A, B Complex, C and D
  • Alpha-Lipoic Acid 
  • CoQ10
  • Magnesium 
  • Omega 3 Fatty Acids 
  • Zinc 
  • Probiotics 

Using a quantitative electroencaphalogram, brain biologial age was estimated before and after the program. Participants who consumed the supplements had a brain biological age that averaged 2.83 years younger that the age measured at the beginning of the study.

You are going to see more studies regarding reverse aging, which is very exciting!

Are you reading your labels? Maybe you should!

At the beginning of this year, the USDA established some new rules for labeling on controversial modified crops and ingredients. Previously, these rules varied state by state and now there is a more universal approach to labeling “BE’s”.

Simply put, bioengineered food is any food that’s been genetically modified, or GMO’s. Below is a small taste of some of our food supply that has been are genetically modified/bioengineered, but I could post dozens of foods.

These actually say that they are BE in tiny letters but many others don’t. They can just put a BE seal, a QR code that you have to scan or a phone number. 

Most children’s cereals, PopTarts, Campbell’s Chicken Noodle Soup, Dannon Light & Fit yogurt, 

Believe it or not, even Argo Baking Powder has bioengineered ingredients in it.

This is a controversial subject. Some feel strongly about it, while the government will tell you GMO’s are safe.

Is Your Liver Healthy?

Our liver is a gland that makes necessary chemicals for our bodies. It also acts as a filter, 24/7. They help to process toxins and makes bile that helps to breakdown food. It eliminates old red blood cells, and so much more.

Different conditions and disorders can affect the liver.
Below are just a few symptoms that can indicate your liver may be needing a check up:

Poor digestion and bloating
Bad Breath
Lack of appetite for meat
Brain fog
Skin issues such as acne, rashes
Chronic fatigue
Discolored pale stool
Nausea
Trouble digesting fatty foods
Bad PMS
Chemical sensitivities and allergies

Beef

I am a foodie and only eat the best beef. Tonight I made the most mouth watering New York Stip steak from Riverbend Ranch with my salad. They also have the best seasonings. I was so hungry that I ate half of it until I decided to share a pic.

The best thing I love, is the convenience of how it comes shipped directly to my house on dry ice. So, no worries about it coming fresh. I am never disappointed!

Size Does Matter! – NMR Particle Size Testing for Your Cholesterol!

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

Next time you go in for your labs, be sure and request a “Particle Size Testing”for your cholesterol. It’s a far more accurate way to measure cholesterol and you can get it done at Quest.

Here’s what doctor’s are discovering:

50% of Americans fall in the category of “high cholesterol” but depending on the size of the cholesterol particle, you may be just fine.

Cholesterol particle size refers to the size of the lipoproteins that carry cholesterol in the blood. The size of LDL particles can vary. Some are small and dense; others are large and fluffy. Believe it or not, you want large and fluffy. Small dense LDL particles are associated with a higher risk of heart disease that larger particles.

So it’s possible to have a high LDL count but if your particles are large and fluffy, it’s highly probably you would not need any medications. If your LDL is low, but your particles are small and dense, you very well might be in a concerning situation.

You should insist on this test when you go in for your next annual physical.

Did you know…

that Magnesium is a critical electrolyte that helps in the electrical stimulation so our heart can maintain proper heartbeats?

Unfortunately, about 75% of Americans are deficient in magnesium. I know I was deficient a few years back. thus statistic means

that you could be one of the three out of four persons ;ow on magnesium.

Magnesium can be found in dark chocolate (my favorite) , avocado, nuts, legumes, bananas and leafy greens. But that’s not enough. We need to supplement, but how does one know which supplements to take?

You want to select one that is highly bio-available — I prefer one that is combined with vitamin B6 for even faster, better absorption.

An extra benefit? it’s in powder form! making it easy to add to smoothies, juices, or just even water!

Let me know if I can help you in any way!
