Well it is a simple fact that unless you are a highly motivated person, you may need a little coaxing to get into action...

I see this happening every year at my local gym…In January the place is filled with new faces and at most times it is crowded and the popular exercise equipment is always busy…In February the newcomers show up less frequently and its only crowded during peak hours. By March its back to normal and the crowds have disappeared and the long term regulars are the only ones in the place...

What happened to all those newbie's that were so diligent about showing up regularly in January…Well they got side tracked…found excuses…lost their enthusiasm and some just plain quit on themselves...

If this has happened to you in the past around any commitment, health, financial or any other promise to you or your family, I want to encourage you to get back in the game and stop feeling guilty… how?… by taking action now…When you again begin to take action you will feel so much better about yourself because those broken promises simply effect your entire outlook on life and weigh heavily on your self esteem, feelings of self worth and the performance level in all areas of your life...

NAGOYUA, Japan- December 22, 2004L-carnitine supplementation helps reduce age-related, oxidative DNA damage in the brain, according to a study published in the January 2005 issue of Experimental Neurology (191, 1:33-40) (ww.sciencedirect.com).

Researchers from Nagoyua University Graduate School of Medicine measured the activities of antioxidant enzymes, the levels of nucleic acids and the extent of DNA damage in the cortex, hippocampus, striatum, hypothalamus and cerebellum of young (four months) and old (24 months) rats given L-carnitine for either seven, 14 or 21 days. Brain regions with lower antioxidant activity are highly susceptible to oxidative DNA damage, which is a key factor in the aging process, according to the scientists. The study results showed L-carnitine enhanced nucleic acid, antioxidant level activity in the older rats supplementing for 21 days. No significant change in activity was found in either the shorter supplementation periods or at all in the younger rats. The research concluded L-carnitine supplementation prevents age-related DNA damage, confirming the supplement’s neuroprotective action against aging. Each daily dose of our life factors anti-aging formula contains 500 mg of L-carnitine plus...

Popular advice tells you to eat less and exercise more. Today I'd like you to consider an alternative. The notion that for food and exercise quality, not quantity is what's most important.
The advice to eat less and exercise more just hasn't worked. We spend more on diet and exercise than any country but are the fattest nation. Marathon exercises enrapture very few people. And we like to eat. Super size please!
Staying fit is not just a matter of minimizing your food and maximizing exercise. It's more a matter of quality. Today, you'll learn how to address the quality factor in your diet and physical activity.

Eating Better

Eat Quality Fat:
Nowhere is quality more important than with fat. The problem with the American diet is not that it has too much fat but the wrong kind of fat. Bad fat causes cholesterol problems, clogged arteries, heart disease, cancer and inflammation. You should avoid omega 6 fats from fatty meats - red or otherwise. Eat grass-fed beef, free-range chickens and wild fish instead. Don't eat hydrogenated or trans fats in margarines and processed foods. Use organic butter and olive oil instead. Consume plenty of natural healthy fats in nuts, eggs, avocados and cold water wild fish. Add omega 3 Oils as a supplement.

Choose Quality Protein:
Strive to eat protein with every meal but chose the highest quality protein possible. Eggs are the very highest quality protein followed by red meat.., The best choice for many reasons is free-range eggs and grass-fed beef. The nutritional value of a grass-fed T-bone is so much greater than a fast food burger its like comparing apples to oranges-- even though both are fruits.

Add Quality Carbohydrate:
If you are like most people you need to reduce your total carbs. Low carb is finally catching on but there are quality carbs and junk carbs. Focus on eating quality carbohydrates.
If you eat much bread, pasta, potatoes and rice you'll be shopping in the “Big Mans” department before long. Yet I don't know anyone who has s gained weight from consuming berries, pears, peaches, tomatoes, spinach, collards or green beans. These carbs have more nutrients and fiber and don't produce the same insulin response. You can eat low glycemic vegetables and fruits until you are full.
Here are a few more tips to help you focus on choosing quality.
• Never grocery shop when you're hungry.
• Stay away from the internal aisles of the
  grocery store. This is where all the refined junk
  carbs reside.
• Carry along healthy snacks, fruit, protein bars,
  Munch on the good stuff.
• Consider a healthy, vitamin and fiber rich
  protein drink daily…The best we have found is
  at www.menshealthtech.com (it is on sale
  this week)
• When dining out, choose grilled, baked,
  poached or broiled over fried.
• Make your own marinades and dressings
  instead of pre-bottled ones. Marinades and
  salad dressings often have high fructose corn
  syrup.
• Cook with olive or canola oil.
• Throw out the vegetable oil.
• Eat butter over margarine.
• If you need a sweet treat, try snacking on fruit.
• Eat more often, 4-5 times per day.

Maximize the Quality of Your Workout...
Yes you do need to exercise... Bummer... but here is some great news... Quality, not quantity matters. Running like a hamster on a treadmill will not make your heart strong no matter how long you do it. Your body interprets endurance exercise as stress. It causes breakdown of muscle, internal organs and joints. Over time it causes injuries. Many clubs now offer 30 minute circuits and other less time consuming workout plans, some you can do I with just a 20-30 minute workout every other day.

How to Stay on Track...
• Drink plenty of water before and after you
  exercise.
• Schedule your 20-30-minute sessions in your
  planner as you would lunch or a business
  meeting. This will help you stick with it.
• Partner up. You are more likely to workout if
  you have someone counting on you to show up.
• Incorporate sports into your life. Team sports
  build camaraderie and are better suited for
  function than endless lifting sessions in the
  gym.
• Write it down! Keeping an exercise journal,
  keeps you motivated and honest.

Research provides further evidence of the mechanism behind lycopene’s protective role against prostate cancer, giving extra support for its use in functional foods and supplements.

The scientists had previously shown in a rat study that the powerful antioxdiant may kill prostate cancer cells by targeting the male hormone androgen. Their new study suggests that lycopene, found naturally in red fruits and vegetables like tomatoes, also targets androgens in healthy prostate tissue, suggesting that it not only fights cancer in this way, but also reduces the risk of developing the disease.

Prostate cancer is one of the biggest cancer killers in industrial countries and affects more than 500,000 men worldwide every year. This number is expected to increase with the ageing population.

Epidemiological evidence has suggested that tomato-based foods can protect men from prostate cancer. One study found that men eating four to five tomato based-dishes per week were 25 per cent less likely to develop prostate cancer compared to men eating tomatoes only rarely.

Karin Wertz, laboratory head at DSM Nutritional Products, and colleagues supplemented healthy young male rats with lycopene for up to eight weeks. During this time, lycopene accumulated in the prostate tissue but did not influence normal prostate development, they report in the 15 November online issue of FASEB.

This is important, since children have a relatively high lycopene intake from foods like ketchup, pizza and spaghetti with tomato sauce.

The researchers say they demonstrated for the first time that lycopene reduced the effect of androgen on the healthy prostate tissue, as well as signs of inflammation and expression of the growth factor IGF-I, regarded as a risk factor for prostate cancer.

“All of these mechanisms can contribute to the epidemiologically observed prostate cancer risk reduction by lycopene,” they write.

Earlier this year, DSM researchers, in collaboration with the Charité Hospital in Berlin, Germany, found that lycopene increased the killing rate of tumour cells. This effect was accompanied by repressed androgen signaling, reduced expression of IGF-I and of the inflammatory cytokine IL-6.

The new study demonstrates that lycopene influences the same mechanisms in healthy prostate tissue, as found for prostate tumors, giving a mechanistic explanation for previous epidemiological evidence.

A 6-year study done at Harvard University involving 50,000 men revealed that those who ate foods high in lycopene were up to 45% less likely to develop prostate cancer.

Our top selling Prostate Care contains 30 mg. of lycopene plus beta sitosterol dim and zink and is formulated to provide maximum prostate health. Get details at: www.menshealthtech.com/prostate_care.htm
