As the new year approaches, it’s a good time for reflection. Regardless of your age, taking care of your body should always be a top priority, so let’s assess 2024. Here’s a series of questions—not a complete list by any means, just a place to begin. The overall question is this: How much time do […]
The first social media claim about cooking with beef tallow was easy to assess, but the use of beef tallow for skincare was something I’d never considered until I was asked about it several times. I used a scientific AI site and asked if beef tallow was beneficial for the skin. The answer was yes, […]
Where’s the beef? Evidently, it’s making a comeback in the form of tallow. Beef tallow is processed fat from cows, but in reality it could be made from any type of animal fat. A number of health gurus have touted its benefit for skin care as well as a more natural form of fat for […]
I’ve been doing background research for several projects that will be introduced in early 2025 including the annual Super Bowl webinar. It’s a long process because one thing often leads to another in a different direction. Here are some of the things I’ve discovered. Nutrigenomics Nutrigenomics is the study of how foods interact with genes […]
Among the nutrients that I use every day and recommend to everyone over 50 to delay muscle loss are essential amino acids (EAA), the amino acids that we can’t make ourselves. These are highest in the AAs that are used in muscle growth and repair: leucine, isoleucine, and valine. While the science shows that EAAs […]
Whatever your age, whatever your health status, whatever your attempts and misses this year, take a moment and thank yourself by doing something nice for you. A social media post I read made me think about the follow-on effects of caring for yourself. This woman, a business owner and a mother always in perpetual motion, […]
As we approach the holiday season, do we have to skip the fruit juice punch or the pumpkin spice lattes? How about eggnog? Let’s take a look at the study on the risks of various drinks, and determine the relevance and the practical risk of what you drink. Does What You Drink Really Matter? Here […]
Why would someone ask that question? It was in response to a health news report on a couple of studies that suggested that if you drink too much fruit juice, any soda at all, or five or more cups of coffee, you’ll have an increased risk of a first stroke. Let’s take a look at […]
Continuing our look at the BRI, the mathematician demonstrated that BRI is associated with body fat distribution. It makes sense; the waist measurement would provide an indication of fat around the waist. The next question is: would the BRI be a better predictor for cardiometabolic disorders than BMI? BRI and Mortality A group of researchers […]
The Body Mass Index (BMI) has been used to provide an indication of whether someone is under weight, normal weight, overweight, or obese and the degree to which they are obese. There’s no measure of percentage of body fatness implied, but physicians and other medical professionals have used it for that purpose for a couple […]
