To say that this paleo/ancestral life- way has saved and dramatically improved my life would be something between spot on and a complete understatement. I was really sick when I came on all this back in 1. I feel like I. But I wonder at times if I? Relative to where I was when I was say 3. I am much less strong, muscular and creative. At 3. 2 I was 1. 75lbs and could clean and jerk 3. Now, is this simple aging? Did I burn myself out doing Cross. Fit for too many years instead of following a periodized strength & conditioning program like Cross. Fit Football? Has my 5 years of traveling and time- zone changes fried my hypothalamus? Did I have high cortisol and create a pregnanalone steal that has dropped testosterone levels? Am I succumbing to the xenoestrogens from plastics in the environment? Whatever the cause, what the heck should I do about this? I have followed Art Devany. Pretty damn good, and I. AOL has the latest sports news and breaking sporting headlines from the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, NASCAR, MLS, World Cup Soccer and more! A look at the Hemingway you may not know. Nearly fifty years after his death, Ernest Hemingway remains. After wrapping up my book tour I was in the 2. Even for an average schlep my age these are worrisome numbers, and apparently I. The following is an email/dialogue between myself and a guy a met a couple of years ago, I. X for a little anonymity. What we will see is a transition from non- paleo eating, to paleo, paleo + herbals and paleo + testosterone replacement (HRT). The literature is pretty clear on the idea that low testosterone in men is a bad thing for a variety of health issues including but not limited to cardiovascular disease, prostate health, cognition, immune function and silly stuff like libido and athletic performance. This will be the beginning of an ongoing exploration of this topic and hopefully folks will find it interesting, perhaps even helpful. Apologies to our XX chromosome readers as this may be a big yawn for y. To balance things out I will tackle the female side of hormones and aging in future posts. X has to say: Robb I have heard you talk about testosterone quite a bit on the pod casts, and in a fairly recent one (maybe it was 8. T replacement with paleo, and what kind of results had they seen. I also get the impression you have some personal interests in the subject (you mentioned trying to get your own T levels up more than once in the show), and since I have had blood work both pre and post TRT, pre and post paleo, and even pre and post herbal T supplementation, I thought I would share. And though I am far from unique snowflake (seems like there is a low T epidemic amongst us late 3. I wouldn. Can you spare a minute? Just a few side notes: 3. TRT). So here is the run down: May 1. Pre- Paleo, Pre- TRT): I was tired constantly, barely exercising, doing deskwork all day (doing the slow sit of death as Kstar puts it!). Was 1. 8- 2. 0% BF at 1. Total T was crap (numbers tabulated below and in attached graphs). A friend of mine (powerlifter) recommended getting T checked, and also the Paleo- Diet (his . Met with my endocrinologist, got numbers checked (details below), and he figured that insulin resistance was causing HPTA issues. He encouraged T replacement therapy and paleo. So I did it, went paleo, TRT, and Wendler. Dropped lots of fat (from 1. BF, dropped some weight (1. Paleo with TRT and high intensity weight lifting, it just works! Had bloodwork done 1. Total and Free- Direct T were right in mid- range. Doing good! January 1. Paleo, on TRT almost 8 mo. I went to my endo, and asked about quitting the TRT, and seeing where my numbers were. He was skeptical, but agreed it was certainly worth a shot (no harm either way). So I did, I stopped TRT, and to give myself as much advantage as I could, I did an herbal . So starting 1/1. 1/2. I took DIM 7. 5mg, Tongkat- Ali 2. Source. Naturals), Resveratrol 3. Resverage), Tribulus 4. Twinlab). Endo scheduled blood work 6 weeks out. My total T, after 8 months of HPTA shut down, was sitting great at 6. Interesting fact: cognitively I felt really good on the herbals, but energy was low. Kind of a mid- range point between the full benefits of TRT and just having crappy T levels all around. So not a bad place for someone who is just a little low. I would recommend this combination of herbs any time for a general guy just looking for a boost. But its not apparently going to solve the SHBG problem and raise the Free- T, SHBG just seems to be regulated in a completely different path. Also, as before, sleep was spot on, low stress, etc. My endo asked if I would go off the herbs (figured I would adapt eventually and lose the benefits anyways) and see where things stood. I agreed, and scheduled follow up for April. Editors note: When we consider testosterone levels we have few important variables: Total testosterone- As the name implies, it. Free testosterone is the most biologically active form of testosterone. Folks can have high total test, but low biologically active test and therefore still have signs/symptoms of overall low- T. Bound testosterone- This is the fraction that is tied up with a protein called Sex Hormone Binding Protein (or Globulin) (SHBP/SHBG). If one has high SHBG one will tend to have low free testosterone, regardless of total testosterone. April 1. 1, 2. 01. Paleo, Clean (no supplements, no TRT): Well, the herbs were definitely doing something, cause Total- T took a dive back down to 4. PCT), and Free- T stayed low (1. At this point, I was feeling like crap, but still, my sleep was spot on (9+ hrs per night in a totally dark room), low stress, and my BF% wasn. My strength had dropped significantly (e. Bench went from 2. RM to 2. 45 1. RM), and cognitive effects were setting in. So decided to go back on TRT. August 1. 1, 2. 01. Paleo, Back on TRT (1. IM): Well, BF sitting pretty nicely at 1. Strength is back (e. Bench 1. RM back up to 2. Would like to gain more mass, but longevity is a more important factor, so sticking low carb paleo. Conclusion: So, yeah, TRT and paleo is a kick ass gig. Heck, paleo alone is a kick ass gig! But TRT does have its upsides. I guess my question is, did I try enough to fix things, and just keep rolling with TRT? Btw, one hypothesis I have is that vasectomies might result in lowered Free- T through some sort of positive feedback on SHBG production from sperm reabsorbtion. I noted in a pod cast you had yours reversed ! Anyways, is this hypothesis legit or smoking crack? Editors Note: There does seem to be some potential issues with vasectomies and T- levels. My response: Mr. X!!! Great to hear from you man! And holy cats interesting timing. Tomorrow morning I’m going in to get the 2nd of my Tlevels checked, after using some standard tribulus productsand d- aspartic acid @3g per day. I’m 3. 9 and have suspected low. T for some time. I’ve followed guys like Art Devany who seems to have t levels in the 7. I did that discovery channel show back in july and lost 1. So, I had my levels checked and total was 5. So, started on some DHEA and the products listed above, titrated off the DHEA and will see how these things are affecting numbers. I have noticed better body comp, better recovery, libido etc but nothing that would blow my sox off. I’ve upped my carbs from paleo sources (some potential of decreasing SHBP) and just tinkering with that. So. That could be one thing to add to the mix. More carbs might affect free- T. I’d be interested to see the effects of HRT+D- aspartic acid as you get more of the cognitive/libido effects with the LH. Although I suspect the opposite is true, we actually see a slowing of aging, decreased telomere damage and other goodies with high/normal T- levels. Either way, let’s keep this dialogue going and I’ll let you know what my #’s are when I get them. Mr. Good luck tomorrow – and Robb, thanks for responding! Yes, definitely would not mind at all if you blogged on my info (just call me Mr. Hmm, I forgot to add that very recently I had added in 2. DHEA daily and tinkered with 1. Pregnenolone (both oral capsules), about 6 weeks ago, just before my latest test. I think the DHEA- > T conversion may have resulted in my more recent really high Free- T number (TT of 8. Free. T of 2. 3. 5, which feels fracking great by the way!). If not from conversion, perhaps I had some DHEA- > androsteine- > aromatase- > E that bound up some of the aromatase and left more T unconverted? Yes, I will echo the DAMNIT! I will let you know how it works for me. Definitely let me know if I can give you any more info . GOOD LUCK! My follow- up to Mr. X: So, I’ve been rattling this around and does it seem like one would want to go the herbal/dhea route as long as possible, then switch to HRT? I think we get “better” signaling, and a profile that looks more complete but that’s just a gut sense. HRT seems to consistently produce the . Again, just an N=1 for me, but I can say that on the herbals I . In a nutshell, I agree completely – herbal does seem to promote a more complete range of steriodogenesis, if less . I am curious about some recent work I read about ? I need to do more research on that front. But to give you more from my personal experiments to try to capture it subjectively, and some thoughts on perhaps why, here is where I am at the moment. Lack of energy, poor mood, and a growing body of evidence related to adverse physiological outcomes (cardiovascular, cognitive, body composition, etc.) suggest some form of corrective action is desired – no where to go but up! They are definitely capable of raising Total Serum T to normal/high normal (albeit not supraphysiological) levels. In doing so, and I think this is probably what you and I are both thinking is beneficial to this route, it is probable that all of the upstream steriodogenesis pathways are being stimulated, leading to increased T production. So chol- > pregnenolone- > DHEA- > androsteien- dione- > T (and the other various side routes as well such as the mineralo- and gluco- corticoid processes). This would present a more . And these precursors are all bio- active in their own way, not just androgenicly (is that a word?!). The weight gain Bektic puts his body through is shockingly abrupt, but it is a normal part of combat sports. Like most top- level mixed martial artists, he works with a nutritionist. In Bektic. Dolce started his career nearly 2. Quinton Jackson and Randy Couture as they started their ascent to becoming UFC legends. Now, Dolce and his team of certified dieticians work with between eight to 1. MMA fighters year- round making sure they eat a balanced diet that minimizes weight and maximizes power. Dolce builds a specific meal plan for each of his fighters that accounts for their body types, fighting styles, and training methods. Very explosive, very heavy muscle fiber recruitment . Pasta sauce is made from avocado oil, steamed tomatoes and plain beef instead of olive oil, sauteed garlic and Italian sausage. As a result of his planning, Dolce claims none of his fighters . I feel like I can do anything. He already had downed a breakfast bowl of oats, nuts, seeds, and fruit, a snack of blueberries and almonds and a gallon and a half of water. Every four weeks all year long, he receives a detailed meal plan from Dolce that he follows religiously, and the routine he. Then he goes about his day, which usually includes two training sessions, three large meals and two snacks composed of a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts, grains, and meat. The idea, Dolce says, is to make sure Bektic gets all the micronutrients . Their livelihood depends on it. Instead of a four- week meal plan, Bektic gets a three- day meal plan, which he repeats three times over nine days. Dolce also makes the meals smaller and spreads them throughout the day. Bektic is eating every 9. The thinking behind the changes is they will allow fighter and nutritionist to gather as much information as possible about Bektic. Bektic will tell Dolce exactly how much water he consumed then weigh himself before and after training. That way, Dolce knows exactly how much Bektic sweats. Grosser still, Dolce monitors exactly how much Bektic weighs before and after he goes to the bathroom. That way, Dolce can calculate exactly how long it takes for food to travel from Bektic. From here until the weigh- in, Bektic. When he spoke to The Post, Bektic said he. Then three boiled eggs with spinach for lunch. And finally, five ounces of plain chicken breast with a side of white rice and broccoli for dinner. If he gets hungry between meals he might munch on some cashews. While he. He drinks up to three gallons of purified water every day, which, according to Dolce, will help him shed water weight in the last few hours before the weigh- in. Bektic. The mere mention of the tiniest doses of flavor that Dolce might allow him to add to his food becomes a drool- worthy moment. Soy sauce is no longer a simple condiment in Bektic. Dolce tries to avoid this as best he can, but there is no escaping the reality that Bektic has to shed water and sweating is the only way to do it. Dolce. Dolce and Bektic have to control fluid intake the old- fashioned way. Just like losing water weight, the process of putting it back on is tightly controlled because if Bektic drinks too much too soon, his body might rebel. In the worst- case scenario, he might suffer violent diarrhea, but Dolce and Bektic won’t be worried about that because they have tons of experience and won’t overdue it. Thus, when Bektic heads to the cage on Saturday night to fight Elkins, he’ll be a well- hydrated and powerful 1. A Complete Guideline For All Fighters! Article Summary: Write down everything that you have eaten in the past week. Athletes should not be afraid of eating carbohydrates. Sodium and drugs are the most common reasons for holding water. Are you looking for a nutrition program that has a direct approach to what you eat? A nutrition program that doesn't blindly suggest a supplement based on the wishes of any particular nutrition manufacturer. Something that doesn't require the words: Dragon, Tiger's Claw, Mega, Secret, Asian, Warrior and other catch phrases designed to spark your fighter mentality and trick you into thinking that it has some special hidden power. The MMA fighter has nutritional guidelines that are similar to that of a college wrestler. There is no doubt that the training of your two sports are similar. The first warning that I will give to you is related to the use of diuretics. Several deaths and many close calls have resulted from bodybuilders and MMA athletes utilizing diuretics, and if you mix them with Pedialyte, Gatorade or some other saline (high sodium) or solution you stand an even greater risk for a fatality. The diuretic removes the water from the body, leaves a high sodium concentration, which short circuits your nervous system and results in death. This article will clearly define the protocol necessary to have the nutritional capability to prepare yourself for the weigh in. In some cases it is optimal to remove some excess body fat and water to enhance your performance as an athlete. Losing excess water and body fat will also allow you to make that appropriate weight class at the . In today's sporting arena, athletes or separated by 1. Domination over a sport is not a likely entity to be seen anymore. Smaller colleges have beaten larger colleges in many sports. Mixed martial arts has several instructors and thousands of Websites that are all geared on providing information about how to have the best technique to win a fight. Great athletes will suffer injuries and most amateurs will never make pro status due to nutritional limitations. These are just simple facts in the sport of MMA. It is extremely frustrating as an athlete to try to get the correct information on nutrition. Most of the products that you will read about in the magazines will be related to exaggerated advertising claims. The difficulty and your confusion is directly related to the multitude of choices available. Today's nutrition has many advantages to offer the MMA athlete. Quick digesting proteins, high absorption creatine, beta- alanine, branch chained amino acids (BCAAs), growth stimulants, recovery drinks, etc., all have been formed out of the process of success and failures from various other sports. This article will attempt to educate the athlete about the basic fundamentals of nutrition and how to taper for a weigh- in. The information in this article is 9. University studies. It is not based upon hearsay, nor will it be based upon on unproven or exaggerated claims from nutritional companies looking to market their products. My advice has always been simple and direct: If someone is advising you on nutrition and/or training, ask them to lift their shirt. If they don't have visible abs, keep walking. Pro MMA Radio: Pro MMA Radio is a weekly radio show devoted to bringing you the exciting world of mixed martial arts. Guests include top fighters, trainers and others from the UFC, WEC, Elite XC and other top MMA promotions.! You will have to look up and calculate how much nutrition you are actually getting from the foods that you eat. Sometimes you can figure this out by using the labels that are required on all products sold in United States. It is necessary to calculate the nutrition from other sources that have tables demonstrating what the nutritional value is for any given food. Be sure to calculate your daily intake of carbs, fats, proteins, sodium, water, and total calorie intake. The next test to perform is the body fat test. Underwater weighing and the Bod Pod (air displacement) are the most accurate testing methods. The importance of doing these tests is critical to allow you the knowledge of how much excess fat is on your body. You don't want to lose muscle and many athletes diet improperly and become weaker from the loss of muscle. Fat calipers are just not accurate enough to determine your safe zone for losing unwanted fat. So do the test and have it repeated a few times, around every other week. Water & Protein: If you are like most athletes, you are not taking in enough water, nor are you likely to be taking in enough protein. Look at the amount of protein that you're eating in grams per day. A MMA athlete should be eating more than 2 grams per pound of bodyweight. If you are taking any type of an anabolic steroid (under prescription of course), then your intake of protein may be as high as 2- 4 g/pound of bodyweight. Now mix in the fact that you should be drinking 1 gallon of water per 1. These fundamental principles have been established for athletes and national organizations for nearly 4 decades. Protein Per Day Examples: 2. A maximum of two gallons of water per day is usually sufficient to flush out the proteins in any size athlete. The amount of water that you take in is necessary to maintain a high metabolic flush of the protein as you are consuming. The lack of water in your diet will result in excess gas and improper digestion of the protein you are consuming. This high intake of water will make it possible to drop water weight later in the program as you draw near to the competition. One more thing about water is that drinking large amounts of it actually stimulates your body to produce additional growth hormone. All proteins are not the same and some are digested and absorbed much better than others. Egg protein and whey protein are absorbed best by your body. Fish, chicken and lean beef are some of the next best proteins. Others are sure to follow, but in most cases it is important to eat an equal portion of protein with each meal that is approximately the size of your fist. Realize that some food allergies can go undetected and you will not absorb the protein from certain foods. It is important to eat as much real food as possible and to minimalize the amount of supplementation whenever possible. The exception to this rule is usually associated with whey protein. They are quick and easy and have a vast purpose in the athlete's diet. Never eat raw egg whites! Raw egg whites have a huge amount of a substance called . As a matter of fact, once the avidin- biotin forms a bond, the body can't break it apart. So you will develop a partial or full Biotin Deficiency Syndrome. Cooking your eggs (or egg whites) will quickly denature the protein avidin and will allow you to absorb 9. In short, always cook your eggs. Here is a list of some of the possible problems associated with any low protein ingestion: Problems with sleep. Problems with concentrating. Constipation or diarrhea. Fatigue. Unexplainable injuries or multiple injuries with little trauma. Problems with skin, nail, and/or hair. Unexpected broken bones. Problems with emotional stability. Problems gaining strength. Consistent problems with muscle strains/ligamentous sprains. This is obviously just an example and several other factors may be involved in causing any of the aforementioned problems. Please see a physician if any of the aforementioned symptoms continue even with the increased protein added to the diet. The biggest problem with getting enough protein is usually associated with the preparation of the food and its storage. There is no question that eating while at work can be an issue and timing is necessary since the MMA athlete needs to be eating every 2- to- 3 hours. Many athletes make the mistake of trying to cram in protein during only 3 meals, which results in poor absorption of all nutrients. Most athletes will have difficulty absorbing more than 3. Having a small cooler and a creative cook at home is essential for any successful athlete. Personally, I have to drag around my five meals for the day in a cooler and I know where every microwave is, but sometimes I just ate cold fish or chicken. That is just the sacrifice you have to be willing to make if you really want to be the best. Every athlete has to learn to eat for function, not flavor! Sacrifice equals success. Carbohydrates: carbohydrateshas an extremely prejudicial view in light of the highly marketed. Atkins Diet. Athletes should not be afraid of eating carbohydrates. Energy is required to digest the proteins and to provide the function necessary to perform adequately inside of the octagon. An old saying is: . We have spent a great deal of time discussing the amount of protein that your body will require. During the off- season your body will usually require an equal amount of carbohydrates. To lose weight, follow a few simple rules: Eat multiple meals every day. Try to eat every two hours. Eat your carbohydrates closer to your workout and choose oatmeal as your post- workout slow acting carbohydrate. Eat your carbohydrates as raw as possible, this allows for the trace minerals and other nutrients that are naturally found in many carbohydrate rich foods to provide for maximum absorption. Avoid processed carbohydrates, such as foods that come in bags. Take most of your carbs in immediately following a workout or a match. This allows for your muscles to recover faster. Avoid drinking your carbs (beer, sugar soda), and if you do drink them, make it a good quality post- workout drink. Taking multivitamins/minerals will allow for proper absorption and usage of carbohydrates and proteins. These products should be taken with your meal. Stop eating two to three hours prior to bed. This will force you body to use fat as a fuel when you sleep. Get sleep in 4. 5, 6, 7. It is helpful to sleep between 6- 9 hours per night. Avoid stress and get right with God spiritually to avoid internal turmoil. Stress raises cortisol levels and that keeps you from losing fat.

The Mediterranean diet is one that has managed to maintain popularity through changing fads, and for good reason. A number of studies have confirmed its health benefits — most of which are likely due to it being low in sugars, moderate in protein and high in fresh fruits and vegetables, along with healthy fats. Contrary to popular belief, there's actually no single . The emphasis on fresh vegetables alone makes it far healthier than the standard American diet, which is very high in processed foods. Yahoo!-ABC News Network . Health Benefits Associated With a Mediterranean- Style Diet. Eating a Mediterranean- style diet has been linked to a number of health benefits, including. According to recent research, adult women who ate fresh fruits, vegetables and fish less than four days a week had double the risk of adult acne. In one study, women who closely followed a Mediterranean- style diet in their 5. Mediterranean Diet Linked to Healthier Brain. Overall, the Mediterranean diet is one of the best conventional diets for brain and heart health. For example, research has shown diets rich in healthy fats from nuts, avocados and olive oil may boost memory and cognition in older adults. Previous research has also suggested a Mediterranean diet may lower your odds of Alzheimer's disease, but it wasn't clear whether the diet was responsible, or if people who eat this way also make many other healthier lifestyle choices that decrease their risk. Those following a Mediterranean diet with supplemental nuts showed significant improvement in memory, while those who got supplemental olive oil experienced significantly improved cognition. The low- fat group, on the other hand, experienced a significant decrease in both memory and cognitive function. Older Adults Suffer Less Brain Shrinkage on Mediterranean Diet. More recently, scientists found that a Mediterranean- style diet also helps reduce age- related brain shrinkage in older adults. This is the fourth and final week of my challenge to lose 10lbs of weight eating one meal a day. This is the post that kicked it all off: Losing the last 10lbs eating. As reported by the LA Times: 1. Even though many in the Med- diet group were far from perfect in their adherence, the average brain- volume loss differed significantly between the two groups. After all, your brain is composed of at least 6. DHA, found in seafood such as clean fish and krill oil. That said, it's important to choose your seafood wisely. Good choices include smaller fatty fish like sardines, anchovies and herring. Many of these smaller fish also contain higher amounts of omega- 3, so it's a win- win. Wild- caught Alaskan salmon is another healthy choice. Overall, the Mediterranean diet is one of the best conventional diets for brain and heart health. For example, research has shown diets rich in healthy fats from nuts. The degu (Octodon degus, / . The name "degu" on its own. If you avoid fish, it's important to take a high- quality omega- 3 supplement such as krill oil. Research from the Mayo Clinic shows diets rich in carbohydrates are associated with an 8. Omega- 3 Is Important for Other Psychiatric Conditions as Well. Animal- based omega- 3 in combination with vitamin D has also been shown to improve cognitive function and behavior associated with certain psychiatric conditions, including ADHD, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia — in part by regulating your brain's serotonin levels. The omega- 3 fat EPA reduces inflammatory signaling molecules in your brain that inhibit serotonin release from presynaptic neurons, thereby boosting your serotonin levels. DHA — which is an important structural component of your brain cells — also has a beneficial influence on serotonin receptors by increasing their access to serotonin. What these three diets have in common is an emphasis on whole foods, particularly fresh fruits and vegetables, and at least SOME healthy fats. Considering the importance of eating real food, it's not so surprising that the DASH diet, Mediterranean diet and MIND diet rank No. Benefits of the DASH Diet. The DASH diet in particular has been shown to be quite effective for lowering your risk of hypertension. However, I believe the real reason for this effect is not due to the reduction in salt but rather the reduction in processed foods, which is high in fructose. As your insulin and leptin levels rise in response to net carbs, it causes your blood pressure to increase. One 2. 01. 0 study. Hg (stage 2 hypertension). Consuming 7. 4 grams or more of fructose per day also increased the risk of a 1. In fact, uric acid is a byproduct of fructose metabolism. So, by eliminating excess sugar and fructose from your diet, you effectively address root issues that contribute to high blood pressure. If you're insulin resistant (about 8. Americans are), have high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease or other chronic disease, you'd be wise to limit your fructose to 1. As for the issue of salt (which the DASH diet restricts), it's important to realize that salt is actually essential for maintaining and regulating blood pressure. The key is to use the right kind of salt. Ideally, replace all processed table salt with a natural unprocessed version, such as Himalayan salt, which contains a variety of trace minerals your body actually needs. Part of the DASH diet's effectiveness for hypertension may also have to do with the fact that it focuses on vegetables, which helps improve your sodium- to- potassium ratio. Your body needs potassium to maintain proper p. H levels in your body fluids, and it plays an integral role in regulating your blood pressure. It's actually possible that potassium deficiency may be a greater contributor to hypertension than excess sodium (but not likely a greater factor than fructose). Fats are important for so many biological processes, especially those related to your brain and heart function. In the case of the latter, a Spanish trial,2. The participants had all been diagnosed with high risk of cardiovascular disease, but were asymptomatic at the outset of the study. Participants were followed for a median of 4. The volunteers were randomly divided into three groups (two intervention groups and one control): Mediterranean diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, seafood, whole grains and mono- unsaturated fats, very low in meat and dairy and supplemented with 3. Mediterranean diet (as above) supplemented with 5. Low- fat diet (control)There were no calorie restrictions for any of the groups, nor was physical activity promoted or required. Compliance with olive oil and nut consumption was tested via blood and urine analysis. The primary end point was a composite of myocardial infarction, stroke and death from cardiovascular causes. Secondary end points were stroke, myocardial infarction, death from cardiovascular causes and death from any cause. Remarkably, in less than five years, the two intervention groups achieved a 3. No wonder they felt the trial had to be stopped for ethical reasons! Sadly, low- fat diets remain among the most accepted diets in the medical community, both for weight management and cardiac health. There's no telling how many millions of people have prematurely died from this fatally flawed and scientifically- refuted advice. Are You Eating Enough Fish? That's the largest increase in seafood consumption in two decades, yet we still fall short of dietary recommendations, which call for 8 ounces of seafood per week. Ideally, aim for two to three servings of fish like salmon or sardines, anchovies, mackerel and herring each week, to obtain healthy levels of omega- 3. Avoid canned tuna, mackerel, swordfish, grouper, marlin, orange roughy, snapper and halibut, as they have some of the highestlevels of contamination. However, most fish contain only HALF of the protein found in beef and chicken, and this is actually a very good thing. While we do need protein for muscle, bone and hormone health, eating more than your body actually needs can stimulate your mammalian target of rapamycin (m. TOR) — a pathway that plays an important role in many cancers, among other things. In fact, Valter Longo, Ph. D.,3. 0 — a professor of biological science at the University of California and a well- known longevity researcher — believes the reduced protein content in fish may be one reason why the Mediterranean diet is linked to life extension and reduced risk for chronic disease. In essence, those who eat more fish than red meat automatically get far less protein, thereby preventing the excessive stimulation of m. TOR. For Health and Longevity, Be Sure to Optimize Your Omega- 3. If you do not eat this amount of fish on a weekly basis, consider taking a daily omega- 3 supplement such as krill oil. As for dosage, the amount of omega- 3s you need depends on your body size, age, health status, the type of omega- 3 and more. Your best bet is to get an omega- 3 index test. This test measures the omega- 3 in your red blood cells, which is really the only way to determine if you're getting enough from your diet or supplements. Your index should be above 8 percent. While there's no set recommended standard dose of omega- 3 fats, some health organizations recommend a daily dose of 2. EPA and DHA for healthy adults. Higher amounts (upwards of 1,0. EPA and DHA daily) are typically recommended for the prevention of memory loss, depression and heart disease. The American Dietetic Association and Dietitians of Canada recommend pregnant and lactating women (along with all adults) consume at least 5. EPA and DHA, daily. Other Vital Reasons Why Mediterranean- Style Diet Is a Good Choice. Aside from the important dietary components mentioned above, there are at least three other lifestyle factors that contribute to the benefits achieved by those actually living in the Mediterranean countries. The obvious one is that these are subtropical countries and most people are able to achieve a healthy level of sun exposure, as the opportunities to go outside with minimal clothing on are far more frequent than for most of us living in the U. S. The other two are related in that they are social variable. There is less reliance on cars and automated tasks that allow them to walk and be more active and mobile than many of us in the U. S. Additionally, there is an important social component to most meals that is typically not encountered in the U. All Day Glow Green Smoothie — Oh She Glows.

The best part is that this recipe makes a huge batch—enough for a big serving in the morning with breakfast (I love pairing it with avocado toast), and another as a snack in the afternoon. It also keeps well until the next day (which I think is due to not having any banana in it!), so you can save the other half for the next morning, too.

Only trace amounts of orlistat are absorbed systemically; the primary effect is local lipase inhibition within the GI tract after an oral dose. The primary route of elimination is through the feces.

Harm Reduction Journal 1. Abstract. Several home- produced substances such as krokodil and boltushka are prevalent in many Eastern European countries. Anecdotal reports of its use have been circulating in Germany and Norway; however, this has not been confirmed. Its use has also been reported by the media in the USA, although only one confirmed report of its use exists. Home- produced drugs are associated with high levels of morbidity and a number of complex health issues such as the spread of blood borne viruses, gangrene, and internal organ damage. The high incidence of HIV rates amongst people who inject home- produced substances is a public health concern. The resulting physical health consequences of injecting these crude substances are very severe in comparison to heroin or amphetamine acquired in black markets. Due to this fact and the increased mortality associated with these substances, professionals in the area of prevention, treatment, and policy development need to be cognisant of the presentation, harms, and the dangers associated with home- produced substances globally. This scoping review aimed to examine existing literature on the subject of home- produced heroin and amphetamine- type stimulant substitutes. The review discussed the many implications such research may have in the areas of policy and practice. Data were gathered through the use of qualitative secondary resources such as journal articles, reports, reviews, case studies, and media reports. The home production of these substances relies on the utilisation of precursor drugs such as less potent stimulants, tranquillizers, analgesics, and sedatives or natural plant ingredients. The Internet underpins the facilitation of this practice as recipes, and diverted pharmaceutical sales are available widely online, and currently, ease of access to the Internet is evident worldwide. This review highlights the necessity of prevention, education, and also harm reduction related to home- produced drugs and also recommends consistent monitoring of online drug fora, online drug marketplaces, and unregulated pharmacies. Jim Mc. Veigh, Jennifer Germain, Marie Claire Van Hout. Journal of Substance Use, 2. Abstract. Background: Despite not being licensed for human consumption, the internet has triggered renewed, widespread interest and availability of 2,4- Dinitrophenol (DNP). DNP, a cellular metabolic poison causes thermogenesis resulting in fat burning and weight loss. Whilst extensively available for purchase online, research on user experiences of DNP is limited. Public websites discussing DNP were identified and a purposeful sample selected. Discussion threads were downloaded and a textual qualitative analysis conducted. Four themes containing 7. The efficacy and untoward effects of DNP were described and discussed alongside the notion that DNP should only be used by experienced bodybuilders. Dosage and regimes for optimal use were also described. Further understanding of DNP users and the online communities in which they reside is warranted to facilitate engagement and formulate appropriate and effective policy responses.

Multiple Choice Questions . A full- term female infant failed to gain weight and showed metabolic acidosis in the neonatal period. A physical examination at 6 months showed failure to thrive, hypotonia, small muscle mass, severe head lag, and a persistent acidosis (p. H 7. 0 to 7. 2). Blood lactate, pyruvate, and alanine were greatly elevated. Treatment with thiamine did not alleviate the lactic acidosis. Which of the following enzymes is most likely deficient in this patient? Alanine amino transferaseb) Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxy kinasec) Pyruvate carboxylased) Pyruvate dehydrogenasee) Pyruvate kinase The right answer is- d)The symptoms are suggestive of Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex deficiency. Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) deficiency (PDCD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative disorders associated with abnormal mitochondrial metabolism. Pyruvate dehydrogenase, a multienzyme complex, catalyzes the conversion of pyruvate to acetyl co A. The major fate of Acetyl co A is oxidation in citric acid cycle, which is a chief metabolic cycle to derive energy from carbohydrates. Malfunction of this cycle deprives the body of energy. The impaired conversion of pyruvate to Acetyl co A leads to elevation of blood pyruvate, lactate and alanine. The persistent metabolic acidosis is due to accumulation of lactates in blood that results in nonspecific symptoms (e. Similar symptoms though mild in nature can also be observed in Thiamine deficiency, as TPP is requires as a coenzyme for PDH complex. Since in the given case the patient is resistant to supplementation with thiamine, the deficiency of thiamine is ruled out. Alanine transferase catalyzes the conversion of pyruvate to alanine (transamination). It cannot be the defect as alanine levels are also elevated. Phospho enol pyruvate carboxy kinase catalyzes the conversion of Oxaloacetate to phosphoenol pyruvate. The deficiency is rare. Pyruvate carboxylase catalyzes the conversion of pyruvate to oxaloacetate. Pyruvate kinase catalyzes the conversion of phosphoenol pyruvate to pyruvate. The clinical manifestations in the given case are only suggestive of PDH complex deficiency. A 3- year- old female child whose growth rate has been in the lower 1. She is diagnosed as having cystic fibrosis. For which of the following vitamins is this child most likely to be at risk of deficiency? Vitamin Cb) Vitamin B6c) Folic acidd) Retinol (vitamin A)e) Riboflavin (vitamin B2)The right answer is- d) – Cystic fibrosis, is an autosomal recessive disorder affecting approximately 1 in 2. It is caused due to defective chloride ion channels of exocrine glands and epithelial tissues involving pancreas, sweat glands, and mucous glands in the respiratory, digestive, and reproductive tracts. Affected patients usually have abnormal mucus secretion resulting in recurrent respiratory infections, gastrointestinal obstruction and pancreatic enzyme dysfunction. The protein cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) is defective, leading to abnormal chloride transport. Because cystic fibrosis leads to pancreatic damage and diminution of the ability to secrete HCO3. Retinol is a fat soluble vitamin that must be absorbed along with lipid micelles; hence the absorption of retinol is grossly affected. A 5. 4- year- old male who was diagnosed with HIV (human immuno deficiency virus) infection 2 years back, is currently in the terminal stage. He is now cachectic and having a difficult time obtaining any caloric intake yet he refuses to take a naso gastric or gastric feeding tube. Since his muscle and organs are metabolically active, which of the following amino acids will produce both glucose and ketone bodies as an energy source? Alanineb) Tyrosinec) Prolined) Glycinee) Leucine. The right answer is b) Tyrosine. Tyrosine is the only amino acid in the given options that is both glucogenic as well as ketogenic. Upon metabolism tyrosine produce one molecule of fumarate and one molecule of acetoacetate. Fumarate is converted to Oxaloacetate (through intermediate formation of malate) which can be converted to glucose. Acetoacetate is cleaved to form 2 molecules of acetyl co A under the effect of Thiolase enzyme. Glycine is converted to serine that produces pyruvate by non oxidative deamination. Leucine is purely ketogenic. Upon metabolism it produces acetoacetate and acetyl Co. A, both are ketogenic fractions. A 4. 0 - year- old man presents with chest pain that radiates to his left jaw and shoulder. He is diagnosed with a myocardial infarct (heart attack) and is prescribed a statin medication. Statins are competitive inhibitors of HMG Co. A reductase, which converts HMG Co A to which of the following? Isopentenyl pyrophosphateb) Mevalonatec) Geranyl pyrophosphated) Farnesyl pyrophosphatee) Cholesterol. The right answer is- b) Mevalonate. The reaction catalyzed by HMG Co A reductase is the principal regulatory step in the pathway of cholesterol synthesis and is the site of action of the most effective class of cholesterol- lowering drugs, the HMG- Co. A reductase inhibitors (statins). Mevalonate is phosphorylated sequentially by ATP by three kinases, and after decarboxylation the active isoprenoid unit, Isopentenyl pyrophosphate (C5), is formed. Isopentenyl diphosphate is isomerized by a shift of the double bond to form dimethylallyl pyrophosphate, then condensed with another molecule of Isopentenyl diphosphate to form the ten- carbon intermediate Geranyl pyrophosphate (C1. A further condensation of Geranyl pyrophosphate (C1. Isopentenyl pyrophosphate forms Farnesyl pyrophosphate (C1. Cholesterol is the final product of the pathway. Which of the following compounds is the direct precursor for the heme nitrogen atoms? Glucoseb) Glycinec) Succinyl co Ad) Alaninee) Methionine. The right answer is- b) Glycine. Heme is synthesized in living cells by a pathway that requires Succinyl- Co. A, derived from the citric acid cycle in mitochondria, and the amino acid glycine. The product of the condensation reaction between Succinyl- Co. A and glycine is . Through a number of further steps Heme is synthesized. Glucose does not have nitrogen in its structure to contribute towards heme formation, whereas alanine and methionine do possess amino groups but they do not contribute to Heme nitrogen. A pregnant woman is able to transfer oxygen to her fetus because fetal hemoglobin has a greater affinity for oxygen than does adult hemoglobin. Why is the affinity of fetal hemoglobin for oxygen higher? The tense form of hemoglobin is more prevalent in the circulation of the fetus. There is less 2, 3- BPG in the fetal circulation as compared to maternal circulation. Fetal hemoglobin binds 2, 3- BPG with fewer ionic bonds than the adult form. The Bohr effect is enhanced in the fetus. The oxygen- binding curve of fetal hemoglobin is shifted to the right. The right answer is - c). The enhanced uptake of maternal oxygen by fetal Hb is due to less binding of 2, 3 BPG with fetal Hb. It is not due to more prevalence of tense form of fetal hemoglobin in the circulation. It is also not due to less 2, 3 BPG in the fetal circulation, the Bohr Effect is not enhanced in the fetus and the oxygen - binding curve of fetal Hb is also not shifted to the right. In Hb A (adult Hb) when 2, 3- BPG binds to deoxyhemoglobin, it acts to stabilize the low oxygen affinity state (T state) of the oxygen carrier, exploiting the molecular symmetry and positive polarity by forming salt bridges with lysine and histidine residues in the four subunits of hemoglobin. The R state, with oxygen bound to a heme group, has a different conformation and does not allow this interaction. By selectively binding to deoxyhemoglobin, 2, 3- BPG stabilizes the T state conformation, making it harder for oxygen to bind hemoglobin and more likely to be released to adjacent tissues. Fetal hemoglobin (Hb. F) exhibits a low affinity for 2, 3- BPG, resulting in a higher binding affinity for oxygen. This increased oxygen- binding affinity relative to that of adult hemoglobin (Hb. A) is due to Hb. F’s having two . The positive histidine residues of Hb. A . That’s the way O2 flows from the mother to the fetus. A 3. 5- year- old female presents with severe dehydration and decreased urine output. Her blood urea nitrogen level is abnormally elevated because her kidneys are not able to excrete urea in the urine. In the production of urea, which of the following is an important intermediate? Serineb) Glutamatec) Prolined) Ornithinee) Leucine. The right answer is- d) Ornithine. Urea is the end product of nitrogen/amino acid metabolism. Urea formation requires the participation of 6 amino acids which are aspartic acid, ornithine, citrulline, argino succinic acid, arginine and N- Acetyl glutamate. Out of these N - Acetyl glutamate is the only amino acid that acts as an allosteric activator of Carbamoyl phosphate synthase- 1 enzyme, rest all participate in urea formation. Ornithine acts as a catalyst in the process of urea formation. Ornithine is a non standard amino acid, it is not incorporated in to tissue proteins but it participates in urea formation and polyamine synthesis. Serine does not participate in urea formation. It is glucogenic, incorporated in to tissue proteins, required for synthesis of glycine, cysteine and sphingosine. Also participates in one carbon metabolism, forming O- glycosidic linkages and is present in at the active site of many enzymes. Glutamate is a precursor of GABA, glutamine, glucogenic, a neurotransmitter and is incorporated in to tissue proteins. It does not participate in urea formation. Proline also does not participate in urea formation; it is incorporated in to tissue proteins and is present at those places where kinks or bends are needed in the folding of the proteins since it is an imino acid. Collagen is rich in hydroxy proline (its hydroxylated form). Leucine is a branched chain amino acid; it is purely ketogenic and has no role in urea formation.

IGBO- ORA, Nigeria (AFP) — Igbo- Ora, a sleepy farming community in southwest Nigeria, welcomes visitors with a sign proclaiming . But only one set, a male and a female, survived. That is especially true, experts say, amongst Nigeria's Yoruba community which is largely concentrated in the southwestern part of the country where Igbo- Ora is located. Overall, almost 5 percent of all Yoruba births produce twins, the Belgian study said, compared with just around 1. What is a multiple pregnancy? A multiple pregnancy means that a woman has two or more babies in her uterus. These babies can come from the same egg or from different. Why you need iron during pregnancy.

Japan - - although fertility drugs in the developed world are changing those figures. Yam consumption may be one explanation for Africa's largesse, some West Africans and Western experts believe. Yams contain a natural hormone phytoestrogen which may stimulate the ovaries to produce an egg from each side. For their part, Igbo- Ora's residents appear nonplussed about their twin phenomenon. Some like Akinyemi support the yam theory - - and point specifically to the reputedly high oestrogen content of agida, the local name for yam tubers. We also consume a lot of agida. This diet influences multiple births. Their birth is a good omen. A Scottish missionary is credited with ending this practice. In Yorubaland and indeed in large swathes of sub- Saharan Africa, twins are also believed to possess one soul between them. This belief accounts for a whole series of distinctive, and in some cases macabre rituals that are often country specific. If one twin dies in a Yoruba family, the parents order a wooden figure called an . The half soul of the deceased twin is thought to live on in the ibeji figure - - which is clothed, . If not, communities fear the surviving twin will pine so much for his dead sibling that he will also die. Amongst the Yoruba - - one of Nigeria's dominant ethnic groups who are also present in Benin, Ghana and Togo - - a mother who loses both twins will take part periodically in ritual ceremonies where she dances with both ibeji figures, either one in each hand, or both tucked into her shirt. Anthropologists say the elaborate rituals surrounding twins go back to the days when perinatal mortality was very high for twins - - the increased chances of premature delivery compounding the problem of inadequate healthcare in traditional societies. The rituals were destined to help communities come to terms with the loss of the babies. Diet for a healthy pregnancy.

Even before you're pregnant, your body needs iron for several reasons: It's essential for making hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen to other cells. It's an important component of myoglobin (a protein that helps supply oxygen to your muscles), collagen (a protein in bone, cartilage, and other connective tissue), and many enzymes. It helps maintain a healthy immune system. But during pregnancy you need a lot more of this essential mineral. Here's why: The amount of blood in your body increases during pregnancy until you have almost 5. You need extra iron to make more hemoglobin. You need extra iron for your growing baby and placenta, especially in the second and third trimesters. Many women need more because they start their pregnancy with insufficient stores of iron. Iron- deficiency anemia during pregnancy is associated with preterm delivery, low birth weight, and infant mortality. How much iron you need. Pregnant women: 2. Nonpregnant women: 1. You don't have to get the recommended amount of iron every day. Instead, aim for that amount as an average over the course of a few days or a week. Food sources of iron. There are two forms of iron: heme and non- heme. Heme iron is found only in animal sources and is easier for your body to absorb. Non- heme iron is found in plants, iron- fortified foods, and supplements. Red meat, poultry, and seafood contain both heme and non- heme iron. To make sure you're getting enough, eat a variety of iron- rich foods every day. Red meat, poultry, and fish are some of the best sources of iron. See all videos. Amount of heme iron in a 3- ounce serving of common animal protein sources: (Note that 3 ounces of meat is about the size of a deck of cards.)3 ounces lean beef, chuck: 3. Amount of non- heme iron in common plant sources: 1 cup iron- fortified ready- to- eat cereal: 2. Tablespoon blackstrap molasses: 3. One slice whole wheat or enriched white bread: 0. Making the most of the iron you eat. You don't need to eat a big slab of meat to satisfy your daily iron requirement. Adding just a little meat or fish to a meal helps your body absorb more of the iron in the other foods on your plate. Here are a few more tips for getting as much iron as possible from your diet: Cook in a cast iron pan. Moist, acidic foods, such as tomato sauce, are especially good at soaking up iron this way. Include a source of vitamin C (like orange juice, strawberries, or broccoli) with every meal, especially when eating vegetarian sources of iron, like beans – the vitamin C can help you absorb up to six times more iron. Many healthy foods contain . Examples of iron inhibitors include phytates in whole grains and legumes, polyphenols in coffee and tea, oxalates in soy foods and spinach, and calcium in dairy products. If you have low iron or iron- deficiency anemia, some experts believe you shouldn't eat iron- inhibiting foods at the same time as iron- rich foods. Others believe it's okay to eat these foods together as long as your overall diet includes plenty of iron- rich and vitamin C- rich foods. Your provider or a dietitian can work with you to create a prenatal nutrition plan that supports healthy iron levels. If your provider has prescribed iron supplements, take them one hour before or two hours after meals because iron is absorbed most easily on an empty stomach. Taking the supplement with orange juice – which is high in iron- enhancing vitamin C – can boost absorption. Many women start their pregnancy without enough iron to meet their body's increased demands and are unable to bring their levels up through diet alone. At your first prenatal appointment, your healthcare provider will probably recommend a prenatal vitamin with about 3. Unless you have (or develop) anemia, this should be sufficient, so don't take additional supplements unless your provider advises you to. What happens if you don't get enough iron. When you don't get enough iron, your stores become depleted over time. And if you no longer have enough iron to make the hemoglobin you need, you become anemic. Iron- deficiency anemia can sap your energy and cause many other symptoms, especially if you have a severe case. It can also make it harder for your body to fight infection. It may even impact your pregnancy: Iron- deficiency anemia – especially in early or midpregnancy – has been linked to a greater risk of preterm birth, having a low- birth- weight baby, and fetal or newborn death. See our complete article on iron- deficiency anemia. If you're anemic when you give birth, you're more likely to need a transfusion and have other problems if you lose a lot of blood at delivery. And some research suggests an association between maternal iron deficiency and postpartum depression. Your baby does a good job of taking care of his iron needs while he's in your uterus. He'll get his share of what's available before you do. That said, if you're severely anemic, it may compromise your baby's iron stores at birth, raising his risk for anemia later in infancy and possibly hurting his growth and cognitive development. Can you get too much iron? Yes. Aim to get no more than 4. If you take more than that (either from an extra iron supplement or from your prenatal vitamin), it can cause your blood levels of iron to rise too high, possibly causing problems for you and your baby. For example, too much iron can increase your risk of developing gestational diabetes or oxidative stress, an imbalance in the body that's thought to play a role in infertility, preeclampsia, and miscarriage, and has been linked to heart disease and high blood pressure. Take iron supplements during pregnancy only under the supervision of your healthcare provider. Side effects of iron supplements. Iron supplements can upset your gastrointestinal tract. The most common complaint is constipation, which is already a problem for many pregnant women. Try drinking prune juice if you're constipated. It can help you stay regular – and is actually a good source of iron! You may also have nausea or (more rarely) diarrhea. If your supplement makes you feel queasy, try taking it with a small snack or at bedtime. Talk to your provider if you're experiencing other side effects – if you're not anemic and your prenatal vitamin has more than 3. If you are anemic, you may be able to prevent stomach problems by starting with a supplement that has less iron and gradually building up to the dose you need. You could also try taking the iron in smaller doses throughout the day. Your provider may suggest trying different iron supplements to find one that's easy on your stomach. For example, some moms- to- be have fewer side effects from a timed- release iron supplement, although the trade- off is that the iron isn't absorbed as well this way. Finally, don't worry if your stools look darker when you start taking iron. That's a normal and harmless side effect. |
