Dear John,
We wish everyone a happy and safe 4th of July this
week! Hopefully you will be able to enjoy this reminder of our freedom surrounded by family
and friends. As we celebrate, let us keep those serving both at home and abroad, as well as
our soldiers returning from overseas, in our thoughts and prayers as they continue to defend our
borders. Our
wounded warriors need just as much support as those who are still bravely
defending our country all over the world.
If you are looking for a new twist on the traditional
hamburger to show off over the holiday, see our recipe section below for a tangy and
tasty Hawaiian Barbecue Bacon Burger recipe!
One of the most common fitness questions we get asked is how
to burn belly fat?? This is particularly important to many during the summer months when
swimsuit season is in full swing. So, this
Forbes
Magazine article certainly caught our eye, especially when fitness expert Jennifer Cohen advised
that to burn fat you have to eat fat! But not just any kind, focus on healthy fats like
omega-3's, which are found in fatty fish such as
salmon,
grass-fed beef, and
walnuts. More helpful advice to uncover that
six-pack: avoid sugar, get enough sleep, and short intervals of intense exercise. Read the
full article here for all the details.
A common customer request here at US Wellness is, how can I

Hello Dr. Kim,
I've been
suffering from digestive issues for several months now, and a friend suggested a food elimination
test. What exactly is that and how would I get started?
Any advice you have would
be appreciated!
Thank you,
Shelly G.
Cleveland, OH
_____________________________________
Dear Shelly,
Without knowing what else
is going on, I will give you a generic answer that I use with many patients. When your friend
suggested a food elimination test, they are telling you to cancel out certain foods that are
hyperallergenic to your system. I usually base this on what are the most common allergies that are
out there. First, I would cancel out wheat. I know that it is a difficult thing to do for most since
the general consensus is wheat is healthy. The second food I would cancel out is dairy. I am not
talking about lactose intolerance but a direct dairy allergy. I would also start taking a probiotic
supplement. Many digestive issues come from having poor gut bacteria.
This is the
sequence I would use. Cancel out wheat for two weeks and see your progression. Then cancel out
dairy. If this doesn't work, email me again and let's reassess and make some changes.
Good Luck,
-- Michael Kim, D.O.

Eating Fish, Chicken, Nuts May Lower Risk
of Alzheimer's Disease
A new study suggests
that eating foods that contain omega-3 fatty acids, such as
fish,
chicken,
salad dressing and
nuts, may be associated with lower blood
levels of a protein related to Alzheimer's disease and memory problems. The research is published in
the May 2, 2012, online issue of Neurology, the medical journal of the American Academy of
Neurology.
"While it's not easy to measure the level of beta-amyloid deposits in the
brain in this type of study, it is relatively easy to measure the levels of beta-amyloid in the
blood, which, to a certain degree, relates to the level in the brain," said study author Nikolaos
Scarmeas, MD, MS, with Columbia University Medical Center in New York and a member of the American
Academy of Neurology.
For the study, 1,219 people older than age 65, free of dementia,
provided information about their diet for an average of 1.2 years before their blood was tested for
the beta-amyloid. Researchers looked specifically at 10 nutrients, including saturated fatty acids,
omega-3 and omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids, mono-unsaturated fatty acid, vitamin E, vitamin C,
beta-carotene, vitamin B12, folate and vitamin D.
The study found that the more omega-3
fatty acids a person took in, the lower their blood beta-amyloid levels. Consuming one gram of
omega-3 per day (equal to approximately half a fillet of salmon per week) more than the average
omega-3 consumed by people in the study is associated with 20 to 30 percent lower blood beta-amyloid
levels.
Other nutrients were not associated with plasma beta-amyloid levels. The results
stayed the same after adjusting for age, education, gender, ethnicity, amount of calories consumed
and whether a participant had the APOE gene, a risk factor for Alzheimer's disease.
"Determining through further research whether omega-3 fatty acids or other nutrients relate to
spinal fluid or brain beta-amyloid levels or levels of other Alzheimer's disease related proteins
can strengthen our confidence on beneficial effects of parts of our diet in preventing dementia,"
said Scarmeas.
The study was supported by the National Institute on Aging.

nuts may lower risk of Alzheimer's disease." ScienceDaily, 2 May 2012. Web. 14 Jun.

Hawaiian Barbecue Bacon
Burgers
Ingredients:
Directions:
- In a large bowl,
combine beef, BBQ sauce and bacon. Mix together with your hands, making sure the bacon is evenly
distributed-as it has a tendency to clump together.
- Heat a grill, grill pan or cast iron skillet to
medium high heat and while the cooking contraption of your choice is heating up, form the meat
mixture into patties. I made six. Sprinkle some salt & pepper on the tops and bottoms of the
burgers.
- Grill the burgers until done to your likeness.
- Toss the pineapple on the grill and let it char
up on both sides.
- Serve with extra BBQ sauce for drizzlin' or dippin'.

 I wanted to write to you
and thank you. This morning, I ate
bacon, for the first time in years. I always avoid added sugars and
chemicals, even in small amounts, and your new
no-sugar, no-nitrate bacon has given me the opportunity to finally
eat some bacon. And it was absolutely fabulous, so flavorful. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I even posted a message on my Facebook because I was so thrilled.
Kind Regards,
Stacy W. |
