Omega 3 fatty acids are in the news every other day with new benefits for your body and your health. Some of omega 3's stellar health benefits include: fighting inflammation, protecting the immune system, preventing cardiovascular disease, keeping the skin smooth and supple, improving mental health, helping in weight loss, preventing cancer, as well as new research on omega 3's and diabetic health, just to name just a few.

The promising health benefits just keep coming in, but the biggest news of all is the latest scientific discovery about omega 3's. Omega 3 fats may actually be the real fountain of youth, according to the latest research on biological aging. Omega 3 fatty acids preserve the genetic 'fuse' that determines the lifespan of cells, say scientists. These 'fuses' or telomeres are a key factor in aging.

What exactly is a telomere?

We know chromosomes are made up of long strands of DNA. At the end of each chromosome is something called a telomere, which acts like a book-end. Telomeres protect the chromosomes and prevent them from fusing into rings or binding with other DNA. The telomeres are made from copied strands of of DNA and prevent the ends of chromosomes from becoming damaged and also keep the DNA contained.

During cell division, the DNA unwraps and the information in the DNA is copied. When a cell divides and copies DNA, the strands of DNA get snipped to enable the copying process. The places that are snipped are the telomeres. Since they do not contain important genetic information, the DNA is then protected. The telomeres get shorter each time a cell divides, similar to a pencil eraser that gets shorter each time it's used.

When the telomere becomes too short, essential parts of DNA become damaged in the replication process. Cells actually stop replicating when telomeres become too short. In humans, it has been observed that a cell replicates on average about 50 times before the telomeres become too short. This limit is called the Hayflick limit (after the scientist who discovered it).

The latest research shows that omega 3 fatty acids have a significant impact on biological aging by slowing down the rate at which protective caps on the ends of chromosomes shorten...

Check out foods that can help you burn fat in The Fat Burning Kitchen; Your 24-hour Diet Transformation to Make Your Body A Fat Burning Machine.  Catherine and best-selling internet author of The Truth About Abs Mike Geary, have teamed up to help you burn fat effectively and eat the most nutrition-packed foods in the process. Change your kitchen and transform your body!

By: Al Sears, MD

Dear Health-Conscious Reader,

Have you resigned yourself to gaining weight because it "runs in the family?"
Bad genetics don't have to catch up with you. You can change your genes simply by making a few adjustments to your diet.(1)

When you eat certain foods, nutrients release hormones that switch your genes on and off. The nutrients in low-glycemic foods turn off genes that lead to weight gain and diseases that may follow.  We found this out when we studied the response to the glycemic index (GI) in people who have metabolic syndrome.

The glycemic index measures how fast your food breaks down to sugar in your bloodstream. Metabolic syndrome is a medical term for overweight people whose cholesterol, triglycerides and blood sugar levels are high. It puts them at risk for diabetes, heart attack and stroke.

In the study, one group ate foods with a low GI rating of 40-60. The other group ate foods with a high GI rating of about 80-100.  In just 12 weeks, the high GI diet increased the activity of 62 genes that lead to disease. These genes activate your stress response. It puts your body in a constant "fight or flight" mode. This lowers your immunity and causes damage to your cells.

The low GI diet decreased the activity of 71 disease-causing genes, including hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL).(2)
High HSL is what causes fat to settle around your middle.(3)  But when scientists studied animals bred to have little HSL, they found the animals became resistant to obesity, whether it was hereditary or from diet.(4)

I suggest you eat a wide variety of low GI foods. Follow the example handed down by our primal ancestors. Choose foods you could have gotten either by hunting or gathering:

- Eat fresh, low-glycemic foods. Look for grass-fed beef, fish, beans, plenty of above-ground and green, leafy vegetables, onions and garlic, berries, nuts, seeds and fresh fruits.

- Avoid high-glycemic foods. These include white potatoes, most grains such as rice, corn, and wheat, cereals, cereal bars and low-fiber or sweetened foods.

- Shun pre-packaged items and fast food. These products contain high-glycemic ingredients and artificial chemicals. Avoid sweetened foods and diet foods. Foods like these turn on the genes responsible for weight gain and disease.(5)

Finally, if you have a family history of disease, you may want to supplement with additional nutrients:

- Pick up a multi-vitamin and mineral supplement that contains high levels of B vitamins such as B12 and folate. These two vitamins directly contribute to DNA health. I recommend at least 100 mcg per day of vitamin B12 and 800 mcg of folate.
- MSM is a great detoxifier known to keep your DNA healthy. You can take 900 mg up to 3 times a day.
- SAMe is a nutrient you won't find in food, but you can buy supplements at your local vitamin shop. This is one of the best-known for DNA protection. Take 200-1,600 mg daily.

To Your Good Health,

Al Sears, MD

Rick,

Yes, your goals are aggressive, but with the right plan they are certainly attainable if you take action now.  One advantage is the set goal due date to keep you both of you focused.   Positive pressure as I like to call it, also exists to support consistency of quality execution.  You do not want to look anything less than your best for the trip and there will be pictures taken that will last a lifetime.  Based on feedback I have collected over the years, being embarrassed by the way you look in vacation is a real downer.  Take a picture now of yourselves and post it on the bathroom mirror along with your best body photos from a year ago so you can compare daily.  This will serve as a firm reminder as to what is at stake!  

A general goal of losing fat with no deadline or specific target is a dream - not a goal!  A lack of focus can result in low motivation levels and poor consistency.  I get this type of request very often and I have put effective tactics into place many times for professional athletes getting ready for training camps, entertainers preparing for appearances and many everyday people who are highly motivated to get ready for an event, like you. 


Surprisingly, there is not a massive amount of training time needed to maximize progress, but the correct organization and tactics are crucial.  A premium is placed on execution - a high intensity workout is worth more than twice as much as an average effort.  I measure intensity and overall productivity in many ways which can include performing more work than the prior training session in the form of reps, loading, diminished time to complete the same workout as before, sprint distance, etc.  If progress is not on target, program elements must change...

Hi,

I just placed my first order with you.....

I am so excited, I moved to San Francisco and got really interested in pastured animals and Weston Price - type diet, but had to move back to Florida and feared living without my kind-to-animals, kind-to-earth, and gets-me-totally-high-on-EFA's food!  I was thrilled to find your website via a search I did on making ghee, going to thenourishinggourmet.com, and then seeing her reference to the giveaway y'all did some time ago, and then wandering onto your site.  Thank you soooo much for providing such a great service!  I am so excited about trying your truly pastured chickens and having actually healthy liverwurst, etc.  And I can't wait to try your pemmican.  And your butter!

I also wanted to say - THANK YOU for having a website that remembers me over time; some websites if you don't finish your order and complete payment info within 1/2 hour it kicks you off and you have to re-do your whole order (very frustrating for indecisive people like myself).  I had time to freak out (for 2 days, actually) about paying $80 for meat, go to Whole Foods and realize the sausages, butter, etc., are totally price competitive with yours, and come back home and finish my order in a relaxed way.  My only regret is that I bought normal organic butter and made a ton of ghee that I'll have to finish up before I get the good stuff again.  I even entered half my info, got to the credit card page, balked, and when I came back it remembered my address and all without me having to re-enter it.  That is really nice for a consumer.

Again, thank you, and thank you to your wonderful farmers and all the animals, and your considerate website builders....

Sincerely,

Sarah

Ingredients:

• 2 1/2 tsp cumin
  
• 1 1/2 tsp salt
  
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1/4 cup olive oil
  
• 1/2 cup fresh lime juice
  
• 1/2 cup pineapple juice
  
• 1 1/2-2 lbs pork tenderloin
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
  
• 1/2 of a yellow onion, diced
  
• 1/3 cup chopped cilantro
  
• 1/2 of an Anaheim pepper, diced
  

Directions:

1. Combine all ingredients except the pork into a food processor to make the marinade. Give 3-4 quick pulses.
   
2. Place the pork in a gallon sized zip top bag. Pour the marinade over the pork, seal the bag and marinade for 24-48 hours in the refrigerator.
   
3. Too cook: preheat the grill to high heat. Add the pork and turn the heat down to medium-high. Sear on each side for 3-5 minutes.
4. Insert a meat thermometer into the very center of the pork to test the temperature. The pork is safe to remove from the grill when the temperature reaches 145 degrees F.
5. If the pork has not yet reached 145 degrees F, then lower the temperature of the grill to medium-low and place the pork on the upper rack. Cook until the temperature reaches 145 degrees, testing every couple of minutes.
