Longer Life Tied to Protein Intake, Not Just Calorie Restriction
 Getting the correct balance of proteins in our diet may be more important for healthy ageing than reducing calories, so says research funded by the Wellcome Trust and Research into Ageing suggests.
The research may help explain why 'dietary restriction' (also known as calorie restriction) - reducing food intake while maintaining sufficient quantities of vitamins, minerals and other important nutrients - appears to have health benefits. In many organisms, such as the fruit fly (drosophila), mice, rats, and the Rhesus monkey, these benefits include living longer. Evidence suggests that dietary restriction can have health benefits for humans, too, though it is unclear whether it can increase longevity.
Dietary restriction can however, have the side effect of diminished fertility. This is believed to be an evolutionary trait: in times of famine, essential nutrients are diverted away from reproduction and towards survival.
To understand whether the health benefits of dietary restriction stem from a reduction in specific nutrients or in calorie intake in general, researchers at the Institute of Healthy Ageing, UCL (University College London), measured the effects of manipulating the diet of female fruit flies. The results of the study are published in the journal Nature.
The researchers found that varying the amount of amino acids in the mixture affected lifespan and fertility; varying the amount of the other nutrients had little or no effect.
Surprisingly, researchers found that levels of a particular amino acid known as methionine were most crucial to maximising lifespan without decreasing fertility. Adding methionine to a low calorie diet boosted fertility without reducing lifespan; likewise, reducing methionine content in a high calorie diet prolonged lifespan. Previous studies have also shown that reducing the intake of methionine in rodents can help extend lifespan.
"By carefully manipulating the balance of amino acids in the diet, we have been able to maximise both lifespan and fertility," explains Dr Matthew Piper, one of the study authors. "This indicates that it is possible to extend lifespan without wholesale dietary restriction and without the unfortunate consequence of lowering reproductive capacity."
Amino acids are the building blocks of life as they form the basis of proteins. Methionine is one of the most important amino acids as it is essential to the formation of all proteins. Proteins are formed naturally in the body, and proteins come from many different food types, including meat and dairy products, and non-animal sources. The relative abundance of methionine differs depending on the food type in question; it occurs in naturally high levels in foods such as fish, meats, Brazil nuts, wheat germ, and sesame seeds.
In the past, we have tended to think that the amount of protein is what is important to our diet. However it is the balance of amino acids in the diet can affect health later in life. If this is the case for humans, then the type of protein will be far more important.
Although the human genome has around four times the number of genes as the fruit fly genome, there is a close relationship between many of these genes. Since it is easy to create mutants and carry out experiments on fruit flies, the functions of many fly genes have been established and newly discovered human genes can often be matched against their fly counterparts. Therefore, even though the fruit fly does not on the surface resemble humans, many findings about its basic biology can be interpreted for human biology.

Stay Healthy and Lean During the Holidays
The holidays are upon us, and the temptations abound. Sweets, chocolates, yummy Christmas baked goodies, breads, cookies, cocktails, cheeses, hors' d'oeuvres, dinners, brunches, desserts, eggnog and on and on.
Yes, we all tend to indulge and pay for it later-after the holidays are over and the pounds are piling up. But its not too late to try to eat healthy this holiday season and avoid some of the weight gain and the guilt, while still indulging (a little) and enjoying the taste treats of the season. Some of the holiday treats we enjoy are actually good for us. Let's take a look at some of these:
Butter: Butter is a completely natural food that is essential to your health, especially when you eat organic, grass-fed butter. It is high in vitamins, minerals and other power-packed nutrients. Look at some of the other benefits of REAL grass-fed butter:
· Butter contains conjugated linoleic acid, (CLA), a powerful fat burner, muscle builder, anti-cancer agent, and immunity booster.
· Butter contains the essential fatty acid, Arachidonic Acid which is an important muscle building and fat burning compound.
· Butter is a great source of vitamin A. Butter contains the most easily absorbable form of vitamin A, which among other things is good for thyroid and adrenal health, both of which are essential to fat burning and energy.
· Grass-fed butter contains an essential vitamin K2, essential in getting calcium in the bones and maintaining arterial health.
· Butter contains high levels of vitamin D which aids in absorption of calcium, strengthening the immune system, and overall feelings of wellbeing.
· Raw grass-fed butter contains a substance called the "Wulzen Factor," or "anti-stiffness factor," discovered by researcher Rosalind Wulzen. This compound protects against degenerative arthritis, hardening of the arteries, cataracts, and calcification of the pineal gland. The Wulzen Factor is not present in the dairy products available in supermarkets, as it is destroyed by pasteurization.
· Butter contains the vital mineral selenium, which is a powerful cancer-fighting nutrient.
· Butter contains iodine in highly absorbable form--highly recommended for adequate thyroid function and fat metabolism.
· Butter is a good source of lauric acid, important for your immune system, and also in treating fungal infections.
· Butter contains lecithin, which is essential for brain function and cholesterol metabolism.
The bottom line is that if you're deciding whether to use butter or margarine, you're ALWAYS better off using butter, as it is a real food with real benefits compared to the "fake food" margarine. Keep in mind that even grass-fed butter still is a highly concentrated source of calories, so be aware of controlling your portion sizes. However, since butter gives you nutrition that your body needs, it will help to reduce appetite and cravings, hence helping to control your caloric intake.
Cranberries: A cousin of the blueberry, this very tart, bright red berry can still be found growing wild as a shrub, but when cultivated, is grown on low trailing vines in great sandy bogs.
Cranberries have long been valued for their ability to help prevent and treat urinary tract infections. Now, recent studies suggest that this Native American berry may also promote gastrointestinal and oral health, prevent the formation of kidney stones, lower LDL and raise HDL (good) cholesterol, aid in recovery from stroke, and even help prevent cancer...

This Modern "Health Food" May Be Poisoning Prisoners
By Al Sears, MDDear Readers, Have you heard what's going on in our prison system? If not, you're in for a shocker. Turns out, the prisoners are suing their jailers. In January 2003, the diet of inmates in the Illinois prison system was drastically changed to include large amounts of processed soy protein. Soy replaced cheese, meat and flour in the prisoner's diets. When their diet changed, the inmates got seriously ill with chronic and painful constipation, alternating with debilitating diarrhea. Sharp digestive pains and vomiting occurred after soy-based meals. Fainting, heart palpitations, and panic attacks were common. Skin rashes, acne, thyroid problems, brain fog, fatigue, weight gain, frequent infections, and depression were also present.1 But the Illinois Department of Corrections ignored the prisoners' complaints. It also ignored the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) listing of close to 200 studies showing toxicity of soy in its Poisonous Plant Data Base.2 Now the inmates are suing for a permanent injunction against the substitution of soy for meat in prison meals.
For Years You've Been Hearing About The "Miraculous" Benefits Of Soy-Based Products
In 1999, the FDA endorsed soy protein as a way to lower saturated fats and cholesterol in the American diet, leading to an explosion in the food industry's use of soy-based products. But beneath all the soy-health hoopla, I've found studies strongly suggesting that many of these products pose a number of serious health risks.
Today I'm going to tell you which soy-based products to avoid-and why. I'll also give you a few simple guidelines for eliminating them from your diet and replacing them with healthy alternatives.
The Dangerous Realities Behind the "Soy Revolution"
In the January 2006 issue of the journal Circulation, the American Heart Association announced that soy has little effect on cholesterol and is unlikely to prevent heart disease.3 This doesn't mean that all types of soy are unhealthy. But it proves that soy isn't the "miracle food" the FDA and the food industry would have you believe.
Soy-based products are everywhere. And that's a problem. You may not realize it, but soy crops up in unexpected places. It's in your fridge and cupboard - from ice cream and yogurt to pasta and cereal. Not to mention the frying oil used in fast food.
How did this happen?
After FDA approval, the food industry jumped on the soy bandwagon in a big way. By 2004, 80 percent of all vegetables oils were derived from soy, and nearly all processed foods now contain some form of it.
Here are 5 surprising facts you may not know about soy:
- Soy and Indigestion
The problems start with the soybean itself. In raw form, it's poisonous to the human body. In fact, eating raw soy can cause stomachaches, nausea, cramping, and gas. Other soy ingredients prevent the body from absorbing essential minerals. Ironically, soy also makes it more difficult for the body to digest protein, the very thing soy was supposed to provide as an alternative to meat protein.
- Soy and Hormonal Imbalance
Even more serious, soybeans contain substances called "isoflavones" that mimic estrogen, the female hormone. Eating enough soy can disrupt a woman's menstrual cycle. One researcher calculated that, based on body weight, feeding your baby exclusively on soy formula is like giving it five birth control pills a day!4
- Soy, Gout, and Thyroid Problems
As if that weren't enough, there's a chemical in soy that can cause gout and thyroid enlargement. Eating as little as 45 grams of soy products a day can cause thyroid malfunction within 3 months in healthy adult men and women.5
- Soy, Cancer and Harmful Fats
Soy causes cancer in animal studies.6 (By the way, soy makes its way into most industrial animal feed, which means it's also making its way to your table.) It's also high in omega-6 fatty acids-up to 18% of the whole bean. This is the kind of fat you're supposed to reduce in your diet.
- Soy and Blood Clotting
Another chemical in soy makes red blood cells cluster together. Among other dangers, this prevents the body from absorbing oxygen....

Sugar Addiction
(Or How I Got So Fat)
During the holidays it is often hard to follow our healthy diets - especially when we are tempted with holiday treats everywhere we go. We splurge more than usual at the end of the year and vow to follow New Years Resolutions to eat better and healthier. The following excerpt from Over-The-Counter Natural Cures by Shane Ellison, explains the deadly sugar addiction and why we should continue to avoid sugar, even during the holidays.
_____________________________________________
As adults, most of us have ignored the warning not to eat sugar. We usually pay more attention to how many calories or grams of fat we put into our body. This was my deadly mistake.
Most low-calorie and low-fat foods are loaded with sugar or "sugar mimics." These include sucrose, fructose, glucose, high-fructose corn syrup, monosodium glutamate (MSG), hydrolyzed proteins, trans fat, and milk sugars such as lactose and maltose - what I call grocery-store fat traps.
Looking at my own eating habits, I was shocked to learn that I was consuming sugar every time I put something into my mouth. Whether I was drinking a "sports drink", eating a "health food" bar, enjoying a bagel, or even lunching on Campbell's soup, I was consuming some type of detrimental sugar that was causing my body to hold fat rather than burn it. This was the obesity link I was looking for. My fat gain had nothing to do with excess calories or too many grams of bad fat. Instead, it had everything to do with grocery-store fat traps and their detrimental effect on my blood sugar and insulin levels.
Insulin is the nutrient taxi. When you consume sugar, carbohydrates, and protein, your pancreas releases the hormone into your bloodstream to escort blood sugar (AKA blood glucose) and other nutrients into the muscle cells to be used for fuel and revitalization. This keeps us alive and energized. Too much insulin, however, can be detrimental.
Grocery-store fat traps and processed foods that contain massive amounts of simple carbohydrates (anything served out of a window, package, or box) elicit the drastic release of insulin. This sets a metabolic nightmare into motion.
Surging insulin levels tell the body to store fat and instead use glucose (blood sugar) for fuel. That process cripples fat metabolism by shutting off our God-given rights to be thin - lypolysis and thermogenesis.
Lipolysis is the conversion of fat to work. Thermogenesis is the conversion of fat to heat. Both processes ensure that you walk, not waddle, through life. Without them, fat is stored - typically in the abdomen - and is unable to be used for energy. The fat-promoting phenomena of insulin explain why attempts to lose fat via exercise and trendy diets are usually only successful short term. Fat loss is simply being "blocked" by excess insulin. But that's not all. The metabolic nightmare also causes hormonal systems that regulate muscle growth, sex drive, appetite, mood, energy, and even fertility to be thrown out of whack.
This metabolic nightmare is usually secured long-term by a sugar addiction that accompanies excess insulin. This explains why many people who are obese or suffer from type 2 diabetes feel helpless when it comes to fat gain. They are being driven by a sugar addiction that is conducive to fat gain day in and day out.

Dear Dr. Serrano,
I just love love grass-fed meat and eat it daily. I am slim (5'3" and weight fluctuates between 105 in spring and warmer months to around 112 in the cold winter), mid-40s but premenopausal, and I have several uterine fibroids -- the largest is about the size of an orange and I can feel it through my stomach. They are not causing heavy bleeding but are causing constipation, nausea, pressure, and back ache.
The acupuncturist I saw today specializes in gynocological issues and was trained in China. Her credentials seem impeccible and has an excellent reputation in NYC. She was shocked that I eat red meat daily and said that red meat "feeds" fibroids and that I should only eat it at most 1-2 times per week. I tried to explain that I eat a low-carb paleoish style diet and red meat is the center of my meals - I'm not sure she understood what I was talking about. She suggested fish, chicken and eggs as alternatives but although I like them ok - nothing satisfies like red meat. I have hypothyroid and don't eat soy. I do love oily fish - but wouldn't want it every day. I don't eat dairy products generally other than butter.
Do you have any thoughts as to the purported red meat/fibroid connection? I've searched on the internet but have not found anything other than claimed associations. Most Americans who eat red meat also eat tons of starch and sugar with it - also they eat feed-lot meats. So I do not believe these associations would apply to me. I probably sound like a grass-fed meat addict - can't do without my daily fix. The only thing I can think of is that perhaps the high iron in meat could spur fibroid growth - but that is just a wild guess.
My stored ferritin is high end of normal - but I haven't given blood because I weigh less than the 110 pound weight limit most of the year. It goes up briefly in the winter, then comes back down. Maybe I should donate after I fatten up a bit for WInter.
Do you have any thoughts or suggestions for a grass-fed meat addict with fibroids?? I eat curry and turmeric daily. I also use supplements - multi (contains 800 mcg folic acid), extra Vitamin E, extra tocotrienals, r-lipoic acid, ubiquinol, Vitamin D3 and some additional Vitamin A. I drink organic coffee and all manner of tea - green, white, oolong and organic cocoa powder. My diet includes loads of green veggies and also maitake/shitake/baby bello mushrooms. Sometimes I add seaweed - but have to be careful because it seems to raise my thyroid antibodies. I eat small amounts of fruit occassionally. The idea of not eating meat every day would really kill the joy I have at meal time...

New York, Ny
____________________________________________
Dear A.Z.,
Congratulations on your awesome diet. Fibroids are abnormal growths of the uterus, usually fueled by estrogen. Your acupuncturist is partially right. The reason he is telling you to stay away from meats is because conventional meat is laden with estrogen and xenoestrogens, making the fibroid grow more.
You are consuming organic, so I don't see a problem. Although like everything else in life, nothing is written in stone, but because you are feeling better, I wouldn't stop it.
Now about your headaches, nausea and pressure. I don't think so, I am not going to accept that unless they are "active" fibroids, meaning they can make hormones. I am assuming you have had ultrasounds and hormonal testing including your progesterone, estradiol, estrone, and estriol and DHEA levels, and all of them are ok?
Check first these levels and also your thyroid, and start supplementing with Alpha omega-3, take 4 per day, with a meal, and also take digestive enzymes, 2-3 per meal. I recommend creon or ultrase or a reputable company like Klaire or Innate.
Adrienne, please check more in depth or make the changes above and see how you start feeling.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Serrano

Need A Training Lift?
By: Scott Mendelson
New Year Resolution -Rapid Body Fat Loss for a March Beach Vacation
Scott,
My wife and I are both eager to shed body fat starting Jan 1. What is the best training method for achieving the fastest possible results? We both need to lose 20-25 lbs of fat to get back to our ideal beach-going shape for a March vacation! We go to St. Thomas every year and last year we were both embarrassed to be in our bathing suits and swore we would never let that happen again. After months of trying we are getting nowhere fast. Help!
Roy

Every Exercise Session is a 48 Hour Fat Burning Opportunity
Roy,
I have helped countless husband and wife teams rapidly reduce body fat with comprehensive New Year plans motivated by a set date to hit the beach. You can absolutely both lose a tremendous amount of body fat in 12 weeks. The methods used will depend on individual needs if I am building a customized routine. In general I would use a combination of weight training and interval routines to reduce body fat very quickly. You will sky rocket fat burning hormones and metabolic rate by using the correct methods which typically involve high work volumes in a short period of time. Think of every exercise session as an opportunity not only to burn fat during the workout, but to increase the rate of fat burning for the next 48 hours by optimizing several factors. The greater the level of effort, the faster the results come!
Burn 2.5-3 times More Fat than Joe Average Every Time you TRAIN!
During many years of surveying new clients and thousands of random gym goers I discovered that 90% are simply exercising, which to me is going through several exercise routines to break a sweat over a period of 40 minutes or so. Those who earn great success "train" which means they execute a program designed to earn a specific result. I am absolutely positive that my clients using an appropriately designed routine can be 2.5-3 times more productive for every 30 min of training vs. the average level of effort and routines performed by Joe average.
Below is an example routine of a lower body workout that would reflect a beginner level of body fat loss training. I have literally thousands of protocols at my disposal that are customized based on client needs. This routine may appear to be tough for someone who has not trained for a while, but using the right nutrition, supplementation and sleep plan will increase performance dramatically while supporting permanent body fat loss. I believe in taking a gradual approach to training intensity and volume otherwise overtraining will become a problem. Remember the routine below is not only designed to burn maximal calories during the session, but to also optimize fat burning for the next couple of days through several pathways. Inadequate rest increases fat burning hormones which govern progress!

Hi Folks,
I'm in Missouri so right now our weather is fairly cool unlike the hot, dog days of August. But the meat I received today, and in my previous order arrived in excellent shape. The items were packed well and were still frozen. The turkey (in a separate box) also looks good enough to eat. <grin> So I just wanted to send out a "job well done" (no pun intended) to you folks for all your good food and great service. I hope that you all, and your cattle, enjoy this holiday season. Sincerely a happy customer, R.C. Ballwin, MO |

$25 Discount for 40lb. Increments
|
Do not forget to take advantage of the 40 pound $25 discount by ordering 40 pound combinations of beef, lamb, pork, butter, goat, shrimp, bison, condiments, honey, rabbit, single item chicken selections, snack foods, pet food, and raw cheese.
This is our way of saying thank you for purchasing in volume. This can be any combination of products totaling 40 pounds and does not have to be specific to any category. Each 40 pound interval will yield the discount. For example, 80 pounds of product will yield a $50 discount and a 120 pound purchase will yield a $75 discount.
|
| Minimum Purchase Rules |
U.S. Wellness requires a $75 minimum
purchase and a 7 pound minimum combined purchase of
beef,
lamb,
pork,
nutraceuticals,
gourmet rabbit,
grass-fed goat,
grass-fed bison,
raw cheese,
single piece poultry, and
butter.
The minimum is required since we have built the cost of shipping into the price of the product. You will only see a nominal handling at checkout.
The issue is the 20 pound bulk chicken and turkeys originate from
separate cold storage center where those products are produced. It is not
efficient to ship one package of beef as a stand alone item when the balance of
the order originates 400 miles away.
The shopping cart will keep track and remind you if you are under the 7 pound
limit for a combination of beef, lamb, pork, raw cheese, butter, goat, shrimp,
soap and single honey bottle purchases. A
Red font will appear under the shopping
cart if you are under the minimum price or pound requirements.
