Surprise Nutrient Prevents Osteoporosis, Trouble Spot Fat Burning, Best Workout Foods, Lamb Chop Sale


 
 

March 7, 2010 Monticello, Missouri

Dear John,
Winter Sheep

March has come in like a lamb in Northeast Missouri, we've enjoyed slightly warmer temperatures and sunny skies all week.  A much welcome sign after all the snow and clouds February brought!

Speaking of lambs, be sure and check out our featured farm photos this week for a visit to our sheep farm in Southeast Iowa.  The lambs are grass-fed from start to finish and produce a meat that is high in Omega-3 fatty acids.  We use 2 breeds of sheep that are known as 'hair sheep,' meaning they do not produce wool or lanolin, leading to a less greasy product which restaurant chefs prefer.  If you have never tried our grass-fed lamb, now is a great time as the rib chops are on sale this week!  Be sure to see the featured recipe below for an easy broiled lamb chop recipe. 

If you are a new grass-fed meats customer and are wondering the best way to cook this highly nutritious product, we have the answer.  Tender Grassfed Meat by Stanley Fishman is not only a cookbook, but the answer to all your questions regarding grass-fed cooking.  Through much trial and error Stanley has perfected each of these recipes and passed the secrets on to his readers.  He recently launched a new blog - be sure to visit to learn more grass-fed cooking secrets.

Do you suffer from osteoporosis?  Would you like to help prevent or better yet, reverse the symptoms of this debilitating illness?  There is one nutrient that can help reverse the symptoms of osteoporosis and chances are you are currently not getting enough of it.  Since osteoporosis and heart disease are linked, this special nutrient can also help protect your heart.  See Dr. Al Sears' article below for more information and ways to add this nutrient to your diet.

Looking for March recipe ideas?  St. Patrick's Day is fast approaching and we have plenty of corned beef and pork loin.  Visit our test kitchen page for photos and "green" recipe ideas.

Saturated fats are healthy?  They do not lead to heart disease?  See Catherine's Comment for results from an intense study that was just published last month for details about the important role saturated fats play in your diet. 

We are proud to introduce two new products this week.  We are now able to offer Whole Free Range Chicken Backs, which are perfect for making stock as the bones are full of nutrient rich marrow.  We also have a new addition to our Bison selection, the Bison Tri-Tip Roast is a very tender two pound roast that is waiting for your crock-pot!

Chicken Update!  We harvested our first batch of spring chickens last week and most of our chicken parts and  20 lb. chicken packages have now been restocked.  Our apologies for the shortage!

Best March Regards,

John, LeeAnn, Megan, Tressa, and Jennifer on behalf of the farm families of US Wellness Meats.

How You Think About Your Age Affects Your Aging Process

50YearOldWomanBiking The saying "You're only as old as you feel" seems to be more true than we realized, according to the latest research from Purdue University.

While chronological age does matter some, "...if you feel old beyond your own chronological years, you are probably going to experience a lot of the downsides that we associate with aging " says Markus H. Schafer, a doctoral student in sociology and gerontology who led the study. "But- if you are older and maintain a sense of being younger, then that gives you an edge in maintaining a lot of the abilities you prize."

Schafer and co-author Tetyana P. Shippee, a Purdue graduate, at Purdue's Center on Aging and the Life Course, compared people's chronological age and their subjective age to determine which one has a greater influence on cognitive abilities during older adulthood. Nearly 500 people ages 55-74 were surveyed about aging in 1995 and 2005 as part of the National Survey of Midlife Development in the United States. In 1995, when people were asked what age they felt, the majority identified with being an average of 12 years younger than they actually were.

People who felt younger for their age were more likely to have greater confidence about their cognitive abilities a decade later. So, although chronological age was important, but the subjective age had an even stronger effect.

But, the question remains: does a person's wellness and happiness affect cognitive abilities or does a person's cognitive ability contribute to their sense of wellness. Future studies will address this issue.

"...Because there is such a desire in America to stay young, there may be benefits of trying to maintain a sense of youthfulness by keeping up with new trends and activities that feel invigorating. Learning new technologies is one way people can continue to improve their cognitive abilities. It will be interesting to see how, or if, these cultural norms shift as the Baby Boomer generation ages."

Because more of an emphasis is placed on youth with women, women tend to feel more stress concerning aging. Other studies have shown that women are more prone than men to aging stereotypes.  

"There is a slight difference between men and women, but it's not as pronounced as we expected," Schafer said. "This was surprising because of the emphasis on physical attractiveness and youth that is often disproportionately placed on women."

Schafer also is studying how stressful events, such as family members' health issues, affect aging, as well as how happiness and aging relate.

These finding were published in January's Journal of Gerontology: Social Sciences, and the study was funded by the National Institutes of Health.

SATURATED FATS ARE HEALTHY TO EAT, SAYS NEW STUDY


Finally, more evidence that points to what we already knew...

Dietary intakes of saturated fats are not linked to cardiovascular disease, so says a meta-analysis from across the world.

The conclusion that dietary intake of saturated fat was not associated with an increase in coronary heart disease or cardiovascular disease was reported in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition this past February, 2010.

This study accumulated data from almost 350,000 subjects in twenty-one different studies. The data from these study subjects showed the development of approximately 11,000 cases of Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) or stroke. However, there was no link established between the subject's saturated fat intake and the incidence of CHD, stroke, or Cardiovascular Disease (CVD), and this did not change when the researchers focused their research to consider age or sex, or the quality of the study.

"Our meta-analysis showed that there is insufficient evidence from prospective epidemiologic studies to conclude that dietary saturated fat is associated with an increased risk of CHD, stroke, or CVD," wrote the researchers, led by Dr Ronald Krauss from the Children's Hospital Oakland Research Institute in California.

"[However,] nutritional epidemiologic studies provide only one category of evidence for evaluating the relation of saturated fat intake to risk for CHD, stroke, and CVD. An overall assessment requires consideration of results of clinical trials as well as information regarding the effects of saturated fat on underlying disease mechanisms, as discussed elsewhere in this issue. Nonetheless, a summary evaluation of the epidemiologic evidence to date provides important information as to the basis for relating dietary saturated fat to CVD risk," the researchers said.

The study, funded by the US National Dairy Council, Unilever, and the National Institutes of Health, challenges the mainstream majority thinking that saturated fats are detrimental to heart health.

The old "lipid hypothesis" tried to show a direct relationship between the amount of saturated fat and cholesterol in the diet and the incidence of coronary heart disease. This lipid hypothesis for heart disease received a huge amount of publicity and public favor, in spite of the fact that other studies showed this hypothesis to not be true many years ago.

In the last 50 years, big food processing companies jumped on the bandwagon and pushed the lipid hypothesis even further into the mainstream.  Oddly enough though, prior to the 1920's, coronary heart disease was very rare in America. Americans ate lots of lard, butter, beef and cheese, but heart attacks and strokes were uncommon.

While vegetable oils and hydrogenated fats were pushed as the "healthy choice" over saturated fats for the next forty years, the incidence of coronary heart disease actually increased dramatically, so much so that today, heart disease remains a primary cause of death in the U.S. With the advent of the revised food pyramid, grains and carbohydrates pushed those numbers up even higher.

If heart disease had any connection to saturated fats in the diet, how could it be that the use of saturated fats has gone down, while the use of processed vegetable oils like margarine, shortening, and trans fats-as well as sugar and grain-based processed foods have increased dramatically?

Use Nature's "Glue" for
Stronger Bones
 
By: Al Sears, MD
 
Dear Readers,

In spite of what you hear on TV, calcium supplements have little to do with the strength of your bones.

Taking calcium supplements will give you a short-term boost in bone density, but that's it. Over time, your hormones will work against the extra calcium and actually leave your bones more brittle than before.

Consider this: The U.S. has the highest intake of calcium, yet our rates of osteoporosis are the highest in the world. Countries with lower intakes of calcium have lower rates of hip fracture and osteoporosis.(1)

A lack of calcium isn't why your bones become weak.
Osteoporosis is caused by a number of factors. If you're a regular reader, you know I've written to you about vitamin D3 and PACE-style exercise. Both are critical for strong bones and a steel-like frame.

But here's something I bet your doctor never told you: There's a commonly overlooked vitamin that acts as a "glue" to build strong, healthy, impact-resistant bones.  You can get it from grass-fed organ meat.

One Japanese study found this "glue" to be just as effective as drugs used to prevent bone fractures.

In the study, women taking a 45mg dose of this "glue" only had a fracture rate of 8%. Those taking the drug Didronel had a fracture rate of 8.7%. And get this...

The fracture rate in the placebo group was almost three times as high (a whopping 21%).(2)

Did Your Doctor Tell You About This?

Most doctors and the media still insist you pop calcium pills and drink plenty of milk. But here's what they usually miss:
It doesn't matter how much calcium you consume. If your body isn't metabolizing that calcium properly, it's not doing your bones any good.

A major key in preventing osteoporosis - and even reversing it - is to simply make sure your body regulates calcium properly.  Fortunately, the solution is simple.

I'm talking about vitamin K2.  Vitamin K naturally comes in two forms.  The first is vitamin K1. This is the type normally found in green, leafy vegetables and helps mainly with blood clotting.

Vitamin K2, on the other hand, is responsible for regulating calcium.  It's in charge of telling your body when to fuse the calcium into your bones to make them stronger and denser. 

Chances Are You're Not Getting Enough

Your bone is a complex structure. It's composed of mineral crystals and cells that are bound together by matrix proteins.  The most important of these is the calcium-regulating protein osteocalcin. It's under vitamin K2's control.
It tells the osteocalcin proteins to go through a process called carboxylation. Once carboxylated, they can create new bone tissue.

The trouble starts when you don't get enough K2.  When levels of this critical vitamin are low, osteocalcin can't undergo carboxylation.  The end result?

Shane EllisonThree Supplement Fallacies That May Be Hazardous to Your Health and How to Avoid them

You don't have to dig deep to know that modern day medicine is risky.  You can learn this watching True TV's hit show Operation Repo - A Levitra ad recently taught me that a drug induced erection may be accompanied by blindness.  That's serious.  My college roommate used party drugs that were more fun - with half the side effects - and he had to buy them illegally.  

This prescription drug threat has pushed many toward nutritional supplements.  When writing my book, Over-The-Counter Natural Cures, I learned first and foremost that in their search for alternatives, too many people are falling for supplement fallacies that could be hazardous to their health. 

Supplement Fallacy #1

Get omega-3 fish oils to be saved from the inner fires of inflammation, diabetes, Alzheimer's...and UFO Abduction.

Looking Closer at the Claim

You don't need pills to get omega fat. Omega-3 fatty acids can be found in generous amounts in servings of grass-fed meat, whole eggs, wild-caught fish and pemmican. And better than their "pill counterparts," food source omega-3 fats are accompanied with a host of micronutrients and other healthy fats that are required for increased lifespan.  By themselves, omega-3 fats are hollowed versions of Mother Nature.

Supplement Fallacy #2

Your entire family is vitamin D deficient - even the family dog - and pills will correct it. The deficiency explains all your ill health...and even your bad haircut.

Looking Closer at the Claim

A vitamin D pill is a synthetic hormone made by the drug industry that attempts to mimic an array of "vitamin D hormones" (isomers) produced by nature and the body.  Big Pharma cartels BASF and Hoffman La Roche are the largest manufacturers and have disguised the franken-chemical as a vitamin in order to sell it.  Promotion rests as "business as usual" for the industry:  Instill fear.  And they've done it with a "deficiency hypothesis" that has everyone regurgitating their "25-hydroxy vitamin D" levels.  But it's as weak as milk toast.  Ever wonder who defines our "ideal levels?" (See above)  

To date, only statistical associations are used to support the deficiency hypothesis, not causal ones.  This is akin to saying that since everyone who died of a heart attack today had a refrigerator in their home, the likely culprit is Kenmore.

Vitamin D use is also rationalized with the "rickets rational," insisting that it cured the paralyzing disease, which is prima facie evidence of its healing qualities.  Sunshine cured rickets, not vitamin D pills made in the stinky labs of Big Pharma.  And, if you think the two are synonymous, you've been watching too much Operation Repo.

Highlighting the Vitamin D pill controversy, The New York Times recently wrote that "The excitement about their health potential is still far ahead of the science."   Amen.

In their report, "The Endocrine System," the University of Colorado, reminded us that, ""Ingestion of milligram quantities of vitamin D over periods of weeks of months can be severely toxic to humans and animals. In fact, baits laced with vitamin D are used very effectively as rodenticides."   This isn't inexplicable.

Once swallowed, the Franken-chemical can "plug" the body with calcium and induce calcification, which among rodents leads to heart failure.  At the very least, it's a warning that natural sources of vitamin D isomers like sunshine and cod liver oil are a smarter choice over a manmade hormone isolate.

Supplement Fallacy #3

Resveratrol is the fountain of youth.  Stop wrinkles, aging, diabetes...and you're your wife's constant complaining about your unwillingness to vacuum.

Looking Closer at the Claim

Not a single human clinical trial substantiates resveratrol longevity claims. In fact, some studies are showing resveratrol acts like a biological grenade, exploding and destroying a variety of healthy cells internally once consumed - when isolated from its evolutionary, whole food context.  

Just last year, Molecular Nutrition and Food Research, concluded that, "Resveratrol, a polyphenol derived from red grapes, berries, and peanuts, has been shown to mediate death of a wide variety of cells. The mechanisms by which resveratrol mediates cell death include necrosis, apoptosis, autophagy, and others. While most studies suggest that resveratrol kills tumor cells selectively, evidence is emerging that certain normal cells such as endothelial cells, lymphocytes, and chondrocytes are vulnerable to resveratrol."
 
With so many fleeing the prescription drug ship, the nutritional supplement industry will continue to act as life saver.  And in the process, supplement fallacies will be thrown around like mini-flags at 4th of July parade.  Most of them are sure to erode health and detract from the real science that justifies the use of select, natural healers as the first-line-of-defense in the fight against poor health.  And if they fail, modern day medicine will be standing by in times of emergency, thankfully.

Dr. Serrano,
 
Just wondering if you have any thoughts on pre-workout and post-workout foods and also the timing of these foods? 

I am a 47-year-old male looking more for energy, recovery and getting/staying lean.  I am 6'3" and now weigh 205 (Down from about 240 from a couple of years ago.)


Thanks,
J.W.
______________________________________________


Dear J.W.,

1.  Make sure that you are eating one gram per pound of high quality proteins.  No soy, peanuts or cheese for now.

2.  Use free form amino acids, called Muscle Synthesis and MR100 before and after workouts, they will help you a lot by taking them an hour before your workouts.

3.  Use a good multi vitamin like Multi Food IV from Innate, call (800) 634-6342 and use code SER030 when ordering.

4.  Use a good fat supplement like alpha omega-3 which has CLA, GLA, fish oils, and olive oil as a loading fat day.

5.  Stay lean by staying away from sweets and soy and eat only organic sources of fat.

6.  Consume fruits only after workouts.

7.  Water: Body weight x 0.6 will equal the ounces per day you should drink.

Here are some general recommendations that could apply to many sports:

1.  If gaining weight, use foods that are easily digestible and that you are not allergic to.

2.  An hour before, use supplements with free form aminos, especially branch chain amino acids if not wanting to gain weight, to just keep it on, and essential free from amino acids with branch chain amino acids after to gain size.

3.  An hour after repeat the meal again.

4.  Two hours after, hit the steak or the high proteins with carbohydrates if gaining weight or no carbs if losing weight.

Thank You,

Dr. Serrano

Need A Training Lift?
By: Scott Mendelson


Scott,

I have been practically stealing your training and nutrition methods from a friend of mine who is using one of your customized routines.  She has made such dramatic changes over the last few months that I needed to get in on the secrets.  The intervals are great, I have shed 9 lbs of fat since the start of the year and the only change I have made is adding in the intervals, how do I make them more challenging over time? I am struggling to get rid of some lower body fat that just does not seem to ever leave!

Beth

      ______________________________________

 
Beth,

I hope we can get you started on a customized training, nutrition and interval routine as individual needs must be addressed for the best results.  Yes, there are an endless number of interval systems that I can use for clients, but pending the situation I will design what is needed for rapid success.  There are many elements to consider including gender, age, training experience, injuries, hormonal status, sleep patterns, nutrition and more.

Getting Rid of Tough To Burn Fat Pockets

I have discussed in previous articles the importance of intervals and how they are superior to steady state cardio in several ways.  Many females in particular wonder why they store body fat so efficiently in the lower body despite of hours of cardio per week.  They are teaching the body to accumulate fat in that area through a combination of exercise and nutrition mistakes.  Reversing this trend is not easy, but can be done with the correct program.  Interval training is one ticket to the fast track for success.

Just like weight training, in order to progress you must challenge the body when performing intervals.  Assuming you have done the intervals for about two months Beth, it is time for a change to avoid a plateau.  The two easiest factors to manipulate are incline and tension.  I suggest clients use different venues for the intervals during the week to keep the stimuli fresh.  Two modes that contrast well are the stationary bike and an elliptical.

Example Interval Program

Day 1
  • Recumbent bike or stationary bike
  • 5-10 minute warm up
  • 15 sec sprint 95% effort crank up the tension (for example level 6 out of 10)
  • 45 sec jog pace 75% effort (level 4 out of 10)
  • Repeat for 20 minutes
  • 5 minute cool down (level 3)
Day 2
  • Elliptical Trainer
  • 5-10 minute warm up
  • 10 sec sprint 90% effort 20% incline
  • 30 sec jog pace 70% effort 10% incline
  • Repeat for 20 minutes
  • 5 minute cool down (10% incline)
Each machine is different so you may have to adjust accordingly to find your challenging zone.  Speed is not a concern, we are looking for maximal work output to increase fat burning hormones.  So do not sacrifice intensity so that you can do longer sprints as that defeats the purpose.

Trouble Spot Fat Burning Solutions

Using the right nutrition plan is a key to success.  Learn more about getting rid of trouble spot fat from our special report.  Email Scott for your complementary copy of the report along with the Macronutrient Fat Loss Nutrition plan and the 10 minute interval workout.

What Our Customers Are Saying
NY Strip
The following comment came in response to Carl Lanore's Superhuman Radio Show after talking about US Wellness Meats.

Hi Carl,
 
Listening to your program and had to share this experience. I've ordered from US Wellness Meats several times with my most recent order occurring last week. Simply put, I love their products! The website is very easy to navigate, customer service is top rate, and the meats that I've ordered have been superb in quality.
 
My wife and I got away from ordering grass pastured meat products for a while after I immigrated to the US and saw a significant drop in my income and money became very tight. While money is still tight we've made this a priority purchase once again after a year of purchasing conventionally raised meat and being very dissatisfied.
 
I could ramble on for quite some time about how much we appreciate having access to this resource and we won't be going back to conventionally raised meat. In hindsight my wife and I can certainly see that as a family we do not feel as well, seem to get ill more often, and I personally have had greater trouble with arthritis in the year we were trying to save money by eating conventionally raised meat. I'm a scientist and I really wish I had kept data on this experience.
 
Ok so, I was cutting a sirloin primal last night and cut off a 2 oz piece and tried my first ever truly raw steak and it was fabulous. I normally eat my steaks rare but raw was really fantastic. I'm not sure if you, or anyone else, have experienced this but I swear I could feel the raw meat digesting and it was a very satisfying sensation.
 
I love the show, Carl! Thank you for presenting such a well researched and entertaining program.

Broiled Lamb Chops

Lamb ChopsIngredients:

Directions:

  1. Pierce the lamb chops on both sides with a sharp paring knife and insert 4-5 garlic slivers into each side of the chops.
  2. Brush the chops on both sides with olive oil, then turn them on their sides and brush each side as well.  (The fat on the chops will crisp up and taste extraordinary.)
  3. Sprinkle all sides of each chop, including the fat, with salt and pepper.
  4. Set the broiler on high and broil for 5 minutes on each side for medium-rare chops.

$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 $7.50 handling fee at checkout.

The issue is that 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.
