1) Cocoahas a long legacy as a super foodThe Kuna Nation from Panama is a great example. Amazing health benefits backed by prodigious published research. These indigenous people consume more cocoa than any others in the world3-4 cups a dayand their cardiovascular and overall health indices are amazing compared to people living on the mainland.
2) Red wine is as old as the hills. Remember the fruit of the vine from the Bible. The resveratrol found in red wine has been found to create many significant anti-aging benefits. Now, resveratrol is available in supplement form from red wine and Japanese knotweed sources.
3) Green and white teas are loaded with healthful polyphenols that not only provide antioxidant protection to the cells, but also contain L-theanine, which some say creates a relaxed meditative-like brain state. No wonder green tea has been a staple in Zen monasteries.
4) Krill, flax seeds, omega-3sEskimos have thrived on a high fat diet filled with blubberbut their cardiovascular health has traditionally been superb. The reason? Omega-3s. Lots to share on this topic.
5) Sunshine and Vit D The lack of sunshine in northern climates, plus our deficient Standard American Diet, and latest advice to avoid sunlight, are the perfect Rx for Vitamin D deficiency. Sunlight is perhaps the most ancient and powerful life-giving ingredient on the planet.
6) For libidoMaca and Horny Goat Weed have amazing restorative properties.
7) Willow barkthe precursor for aspirin, has obvious anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. This remedy has been around for a very long time.

This product image provided by McDonald's shows packaging for the restaurant's new chicken McWrap sandwich wraps. The world's biggest hamburger chain says the new sandwich wrap will come in three varieties: Chicken & Bacon, Sweet Chili Chicken and Chicken & Ranch. The company already offers similar wraps in other parts of the world, including Europe. (AP Photo/McDonald's)
Interview Representative says new menu options are part of the fast-food chains endeavor to achieve variety and balance.
It sounds like the set-up to a joke: The director of nutrition for McDonalds came to town.
Wait. The fast-food giant the same place lambasted in the documentary "Super Size Me" for encouraging poor nutrition has one of those?
It does, and Cindy Goody was in Utah last week to speak at the Utah Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Annual Meeting.
Goody, who is responsible for providing accurate and timely nutrition information to McDonalds customers, also stopped by The Tribune to promote the McWrap. These portable meals contain chicken and greens and are one of the new menu items meant to appeal to the health conscious.
Goody also answered questions about nutrition and fast food. (Questions and answers have been edited for space.)
People dont eat at McDonalds for the nutrition. What do you do?
Were making nutrition more mainstream at McDonalds today. In the past couple of years weve launched fruit and maple oatmeal, [and] blueberry banana nut oatmeal. Premium chicken sandwiches have buns made with 8 grams of whole grains. With the launch of the new Happy Meal [last year, it] automatically includes a smaller-sized kid fries [reducing calories from 230 to 100] and automatic inclusion of apples and we reformulated our 1 percent chocolate milk to now fat-free chocolate milk. All of that came from careful listening to moms in particular and recognizing people are becoming more mindful about what theyre putting in their mouth.
Adding healthy options may make people feel better about eating at McDonalds, but those "healthy" options could still have a lot of sugar, sodium and fat. Can you really make processed foods healthy?

CHICAGO, March 26, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --One out of every four 65-year olds today will live past age 90. Yet, for 87 percent of our country's middle-income Americans age 55 and older, the idea of one's own longevity is often not contemplated or discussed, according to a new study released by the Bankers Life and Casualty Company Center For A Secure Retirement (CSR).
The study, Longevity Risk and Reward for Middle-Income Americans, which surveyed 500 Americans ages 55 to 75 with an annual household income of between $25,000 and $75,000, found that middle-income Americans do not spend much time thinking about longevity.In fact, for most, longevity is not a topic of discussion.
Discussing Longevity with Others
Self Perception on LongevityDespite their reluctance to discuss longevity, those surveyed accurately estimated average life expectancy for American adults. On average, respondents with a median age of 65 said they think they will live to age 86, irrespective of gender, income or health.
When it comes to perception of common factors influencing longevity, two-thirds feel that their life expectancy is out of their control, saying that genetics (65%) is the determining factor in how long they will live as compared to their own actions, such as eating right (46%), exercising (44%) or smoking (37%).
Longevity Risk and RewardsLiving longer has its rewards. Middle-income retirees say they are having experiences in retirement that they never imaged, such as travel, volunteering and community involvement.
However, longevity also comes with risk. According to the study, the two primary concerns are declining health associated with age, and the ability to create a sustainable retirement income that may need to last 20 years or more.
"Considering longevity and the risks of outliving retirement savings is a first step in developing and achieving heath, income and even personal goals for a satisfying retirement," said Chris Campbell, vice president of marketing and business development at Bankers Life and Casualty Company, a national life and health insurer. "Discuss with loved ones or a professional advisor how life expectancy may affect decisions you make about your retirement years."
Two Decades Separate Wisdom and Old AgeToday's middle-income Americans, ages 55 to 75, find themselves in their "wisdom" years, but not yet in "old age." Study respondents believe that wisdom comes with turning age 56, but old age does not really start until age 78.
Outlook on FutureWhen asked if their best years are ahead or behind them, the majority of middle-income retirees and pre-retirees are optimistic about the future. Six in ten (60%) middle-income Americans age 55 and older say their best years are ahead of them. Respondents attribute this to their positive attitude or outlook on life and freedom from work.

Michael Adams is a member of UGA's Bioenergy Systems Research Institute, Georgia Power professor of biotechnology and distinguished research professor of biochemistry and molecular biology in the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences.
(Phys.org) Excess carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere created by the widespread burning of fossil fuels is the major driving force of global climate change, and researchers the world over are looking for new ways to generate power that leaves a smaller carbon footprint.
Now, researchers at the University of Georgia have found a way to transform the carbon dioxide trapped in the atmosphere into useful industrial products. Their discovery may soon lead to the creation of biofuels made directly from the carbon dioxide in the air that is responsible for trapping the sun's rays and raising global temperatures.
"Basically, what we have done is create a microorganism that does with carbon dioxide exactly what plants doabsorb it and generate something useful," said Michael Adams, member of UGA's Bioenergy Systems Research Institute, Georgia Power professor of biotechnology and Distinguished Research Professor of biochemistry and molecular biology in the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences.
During the process of photosynthesis, plants use sunlight to transform water and carbon dioxide into sugars that the plants use for energy, much like humans burn calories from food.
These sugars can be fermented into fuels like ethanol, but it has proven extraordinarily difficult to efficiently extract the sugars, which are locked away inside the plant's complex cell walls.
"What this discovery means is that we can remove plants as the middleman," said Adams, who is co-author of the study detailing their results published March 25 in the early online edition of the Proceedings of the National Academies of Sciences. "We can take carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere and turn it into useful products like fuels and chemicals without having to go through the inefficient process of growing plants and extracting sugars from biomass."
The process is made possible by a unique microorganism called Pyrococcus furiosus, or "rushing fireball," which thrives by feeding on carbohydrates in the super-heated ocean waters near geothermal vents. By manipulating the organism's genetic material, Adams and his colleagues created a kind of P. furiosus that is capable of feeding at much lower temperatures on carbon dioxide.
The research team then used hydrogen gas to create a chemical reaction in the microorganism that incorporates carbon dioxide into 3-hydroxypropionic acid, a common industrial chemical used to make acrylics and many other products.
With other genetic manipulations of this new strain of P. furiosus, Adams and his colleagues could create a version that generates a host of other useful industrial products, including fuel, from carbon dioxide.

You could say Mark Merchant has alligators in his blood.
Before he was a biochemistry professor at McNeese State University studying the antibiotic properties of alligator blood, Merchant was just another Southeast Texas kid fishing with his grandpa on the bayous.
The Nederland man remembers once seeing a huge old alligator that had lost a leg at some point but had healed and gone on to thrive in the bacteria-rich swampland
But if Merchant so much as scratched his arm in that water, he knew it was likely to get infected.
That told Merchant there was something special about alligators.
He tucked it away in his mind, where it later spawned the idea of using gators to create drugs that would combat infections, particularly those that have become resistant to antibiotics.
More than a decade ago, Merchant began studying the immune systems of alligators and crocodiles.
But his relationship to alligators goes beyond the scientific.
Take Murphy, the 10-foot alligator who lives in a pond inside a fenced enclosure at the McNeese research station where he keeps his specimens.
Murphy, named for Merchant's favorite beer, lurks in a hollowed-out space beneath the bank of his pool, no sign of him visible until Merchant nudges him with a stick to get his attention. Then the alligator's massive head glides into view and his jaws open in a threatening display of jagged teeth.

Hybrid Energy Technology, a breakthrough concept, delivers natural volume refilling, wrinkle reduction, skin rejuvenation and acne scars treatment without surgery, discomfort or downtime. Hybrid Energy Technology is available through Surgen, a cutting-edge platform which also integrates Pollogens patented TriFractional technology for advanced skin resurfacing.
(PRWEB) March 26, 2013
With a program developed by an international faculty from over 95 countries, the AMWC promises to deliver the most advanced academic and clinical sessions in preventive and anti-aging medicine. The conference will take place at the Grimaldi Forum from April 4-6 2013. Pollogen will be exhibiting at booth D1.
Hybrid Energy Technology, an emerging advancement in fractional radio frequency technology, was specifically developed to work with the bodys natural mechanism to promote wrinkle reduction, skin volumizing and acne scars improvement without the need for surgery. Treatment is virtually painless, suitable for all skin types and colors and can be performed in a convenient walk in-walk out procedure.
In recent clinical evaluation Hybrid Energy demonstrated significant dermal refilling, and reduction of wrinkles as well as improvement in skin texture, minimizing of pores and volume increase.
The key advantage of Hybrid Energy (HE) Technology is the combination of Hot and Electrical Invisible Micro Ablation (IMA) which is administered via a disposable tip comprised of an array of micro pins.
Hot IMA facilitates smooth and painless penetration of the micro pins to target the mid dermis. Electrical IMA then selectively affects the target area using safe non-thermal energy. This creates direct dermis stimulation and triggers the bodys natural response mechanism in a safe process, with none to minimal pain and virtually no down time. As a result, while epidermal visible response is minimized, a significant effect is generated in the Dermis that delivers Auto-production of Hyaluronic Acid, Collagen Regeneration and Elastin Growth.
Hybrid Energy Technology is available through Surgen- a cutting-edge platform which also integrates TriFractional Technology - an advanced anti-aging 3 pulse radio frequency procedure that enables effective fractional skin resurfacing and is suitable for enhancing the Hybrid Energy treatment. The Surgen platform has a user friendly touch screen with pre-programmed but adjustable parameters for each treatment type.

OTTAWA, March 25, 2013 /CNW Telbec/ - Sunday, April 7th at the Nepean Sportsplex in Ottawa, Ontario you can come learn everything you ever wanted to know about nutrition for the sport of ice hockey.
Registered Dietitians, Pearle Nerenberg and Denis Collier have been involved with hockey all their lives. Last month they combined their passions of sport nutrition and hockey with the launching of the Hockey Nutrition Network - an international non-profit group dedicated to linking the hockey community with top sports dietitians (you can become a member for free by signing up at http://www.HockeyDietitians.ca).
"The fact that what and how you eat can make a difference in helping you become the best hockey player you can possibly be is becoming more and more well accepted these days", said Collier. "However there is still a lot of misinformation out there. The goal of this network is to provide hockey players with the most reliable, up to date information that is based on scientific research".
The network's inaugural open house and seminar is occurring right in the middle of the Women's World Hockey Championships - yet another great reason for the hockey fan to be in Ottawa that weekend. The open house kicks off at 9:00AM and goes until 12:45PM. Any interested players, coaches, parents, trainers or fans are encouraged to drop by, meet the Hockey Dietitians and ask any questions you may have about nutrition for hockey performance. Additionally, at 9:30, 10:30 and 11:30AM there will be brief information sessions to answer those questions most frequently asked by hockey players.
From 1:00-4:00PM that afternoon the learning gets taken to the next level. At this time the Hockey Dietitians will be presenting a seminar detailing some of the more advanced issues of nutrition for hockey performance. Topics covered will include:
