Nothing a Good Dose of Vitamin-C Can't Cure
By: Al Sears, MD
We have plenty of scientific evidence that proves the value of nutrients and supplements ... but look at what happens when you take that evidence to a standard doctor. A patient of mine didn't want to make a long drive to my office for a little cold. So he went to see his primary care doctor. When he got to the physician's office, his doctor was hassling him. "You haven't been here for a visit in over two years." "But I never get sick," he said. "I take Dr. Sears' supplements and they work. I've shown you the research..." "Look," his doctor said to him, "I will give you any drug you want, but I don't care about these natural supplements. And all those research articles that you're bringing to me? They mean nothing to me." How can you tell a patient scientific research means nothing to you? It's as if he thought the subject matter was not his concern. It's as if he were saying, "This means nothing because it's about supplements and that's something I don't and shouldn't care about." So he left and came to see me. He had an acute viral syndrome or possibly even flu. He got the symptoms midway through a cruise, and it had been hanging around for 2 weeks. It's nothing a good dose of vitamin C and eucalyptus can't cure. And that's the very least of what supplements can do for us... Continue Reading...

The Fatty Fruit You Need to Get Lean
(and Stay Young!)
By: Kelley Herring, Healing Gourmet
Did you know that there is a delicious fruit that can help you lose weight, reduce inflammation, fight cancer, protect against heart disease, slow aging and even absorb more nutrients from your food?
It might sound like I'm describing a newly discovered rare superfruit from the jungle - the kind you see in over-the-top ads for nutritional supplements. It turns out this food is actually quite common. In fact, you've probably eaten it recently.
And that's a good thing... because the health benefits of this common fruit are remarkably uncommon!
If you haven't already guessed, I'm talking about the avocado!
Want to Shed Fat? Add Avocado to Your Lunch
Unfortunately avocados got caught up in the low-fat craze of the 70's & 80's. Many Americans shunned it due to its reputation for being laden with fat and calories. But we know that's a good thing, because avocados are rich in monounsaturated fats - one of the healthiest fats of all. In fact, research is proving that these certified superfruits can be a dieter's best friend... Continue Reading...

Missing Sleep May Hurt Your Memory
Lack of sleep, already considered a public health epidemic, can also lead to errors in memory, finds a new study by researchers at Michigan State University and the University of California, Irvine. The study, published online in the journal Psychological Science, found participants deprived of a night's sleep were more likely to flub the details of a simulated burglary they were shown in a series of images. Distorted memory can have serious consequences in areas such as criminal justice, where eyewitness misidentifications are thought to be the leading cause of wrongful convictions in the United States. "We found memory distortion is greater after sleep deprivation," said Kimberly Fenn, MSU associate professor of psychology and co-investigator on the study. "And people are getting less sleep each night than they ever have." The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention calls insufficient sleep an epidemic and said it's linked to vehicle crashes, industrial disasters and chronic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes. The researchers conducted experiments at MSU and UC-Irvine to gauge the effect of insufficient sleep on memory. The results: Participants who were kept awake for 24 hours - and even those who got five or fewer hours of sleep - were more likely to mix up event details than participants who were well rested. "People who repeatedly get low amounts of sleep every night could be more prone in the long run to develop these forms of memory distortion," Fenn said. "It's not just a full night of sleep deprivation that puts them at risk."

Super Set Strategies to Double the Rate of Body Fat Loss
By: Scott Mendelson
Scott,
I have been reading your column for a while and notice that your training routines have some sort of super set format which makes things more complicated so I was curious as to why. I am 45 and need a transformation to get back into the great shape I achieved in my mid-30's when you could see my abs!
Michael
_____________________________________________
Michael, There is a method to all of my madness to increase body transformation progress with maximum efficiency. The Rapid Fat Loss training routine below features super sets in their purest format to accelerate neurological recovery between sets which govern strength levels. The higher the training quality measured by strength improvements and other performance factors- the higher the levels of fat burning hormones will surge. We are going to elaborate in the new blog post. Over the last 15 years my clients have consistently remarked during the early phases of customized training programs that they felt like they did 90 minutes of work in 45 minutes or less due to the rapid pace of training. Better yet their strength levels improved over time without injuries or fatigue during training. We are able to earn these benefits by properly training the muscles as well as the nervous system... Continue Reading...

Barbecue Heart of Shoulder Roast
Ingredients:
Directions: - Rub the shoulder roast all over with the barbecue rub, then cover tightly with two layers of plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight.
- Set up your grill for indirect smoking. If using a charcoal grill, bank the charcoal to one side and add some wood chunks to the charcoal. On the other side of the grill, place a large aluminum pan filled with about 1" of water. If using a gas grill, place two small aluminum pans on one side of the grill; put wood chunks in one pan, and wood chips in the other. Fill the pan with wood chips up with about 1" of water. This will allow the wood chunks to smoke first, then the water will evaporate from the other pan and the chips will smoke next. On the other side of the gas grill, place a large aluminum pan and fill it with about 1" of water. See the illustrations and picture below for a better look at the setup. This is my standard setup for most barbecuing and smoking endeavors.
- Light your grill and bring the temperature on the cool side of the grill to about 250F (plus or minus 25 degrees is okay). If using a gas grill, only light the burners that are underneath the small pans.
- Remove and discard the plastic wrap from the roast, then place the roast on the cool side of the grill (over the large aluminum pan). Place it fatty-side-up, with the thickest part of the roast facing the hot side of the grill. Cover the grill and smoke until the roast registers an internal temperature of 160F, about 2-3 hours. If using a charcoal grill, replace charcoal and wood chunks as needed.
- Wrap the roast with heavy duty tinfoil, and pour 1 cup of beef broth in with the roast before completely wrapping it. Return to the grill and barbecue until the roast can be pierced with a toothpick with little resistance or reaches an internal temperature of 200F, about 1-2 more hours. Once finished, let cool for 20 minutes before unwrapping and slicing. Serve with the liquid inside the tinfoil. Mix the liquid with some barbecue sauce for even more flavor.
** While you could use an quick-read thermometer to check your roast, opening the grill lid repeatedly to check will mess with the grill's internal temperature. I use a remote grill thermometer, which allows me to monitor both the grill and meat temperatures without lifting the lid. It's very easy to set up, and it's a gadget, which is a win in my book (I'm a fan of all things gadget).
** My barbecue rub recipe yields more rub than you'll need for this recipe, but we've found that it's always good to make extra rub for those days that you want barbecue but don't want to make a rub right then and there. We store ours in a sealed mason jar.
** You don't necessary have to refrigerate the seasoned roast overnight, but it makes for a tastier end product. If you don't have the time, simply refrigerating the roast for 30 minutes will improve the flavor as well.
** For a more tender roast, place the finished roast (still in tinfoil) in a small container (a cooler or an unused microwave) for 1 hour to let it cool.
** I suggest only slicing as much roast as you're going to immediately eat, since exposing barbecued beef to air will dry it out quickly.
