A Flat Stomach is Best for Your Heart and Brain
Tuesday, May 10, 2011 - Byron J Richards, CCNTwo new studies confirm that the 50% of Americans who are overweight in midlife need to get serious about solving their metabolic problems.

Friday, May 06, 2011 - Byron J Richards, CCNOne problem in overweight individuals is the loss of 24-hour rhythm patterns (circadian rhythms), a problem that is central to the clocking operations of every cell and consequently to the coordinated calorie burning efforts of your body as a whole.

A new animal study confirms that melatonin may be a potent nutrient for weight management efforts.

Thursday, May 05, 2011 - Byron J Richards, CCNA particular strain of friendly flora, Lactobacillus plantarum, has recently been shown to prevent weight gain from a high fat diet.

Tuesday, April 26, 2011 - Byron J Richards, CCNA study in overweight Eskimos who still consumed about 20 times the amount of DHA as the junk food Western diet of most Americans found that even though they were similarly overweight they had much fewer signs indicating metabolic disease and risk for cardiovascular problems. The best way to interpret this study is that if you are overweight you should load up on DHA while you get headed in the right direction, as doing so can help hold off some of the otherwise inevitable health challenges you may face.
