Start TRANSCENDing

What should you take to address your individual circumstances?

Ray & Terry created the TRANSCEND personalized health evaluation program to give you more information about your current health and make suggestions for lifestyle and supplementation that are tailored to your personal needs.

The questionnaire considers a variety of input including your age, family history, lifestyle and more, to offer you three tailored elements: a report detailing lifestyle and nutritional recommendations, your own customized supplement product that combines the basic supplements you need into convenient dosage packets, and targeted supplement recommendations for additional concerns.

Our evaluation was designed based on the practical plan described in TRANSCEND: Nine Steps to Living Well Forever and is available to our customers free of charge. The easy-to-follow program will help you maintain good health today in order to enjoy the benefits of tomorrow's technologies to extend quality lifespan. That means you could live well…. forever!

Eating Out Within Your Diet

We all know that take out and restaurant food can easily undermine a healthy eating plan. But do you know which choices won't destroy your plan?

The Washington Post offers nutrition information for a selection of popular fast food restaurants. Find out how many calories are really in that Starbucks latte or Wendy's salad (over 500 in the Mandarin Chicken version), if you dare:

So which drive-through can you visit without feeling guilty? This list features the best and the worst of fast food salad options. http://eatthis.womenshealthmag.com

Thanks to a heightening of our national health consciousness, it's getting easier to eat out and not overeat. Many restaurants are making changes to help diners make smart choices that still feel indulgent.

The Healthy Dining organization has been helping restaurants provide healthier options and information since the early 1990s. You can use their free Healthy Dining Finder to find menu options approved by registered dieticians. Search by location, price, and purpose for a healthy meal in your area.

When you're traveling, it can be tempting to ditch the diet rules. Airports are one spot where you may feel stuck with unhealthy choices, but there are healthy options even in the airport food court, if you know how to look. And find out which American airports are the healthiest.

Don't let go of your commitment to health when you travel. Of course you can splurge and celebrate, but keep a few tips in mind and stay on track at home or away. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28659803/

Health News Radar

	Telomeres and Long Life Shorter telomeres appear to be a bad thing, but their relationship to longevity is not straightforward: "Although telomere length (TL) is known to play a critical role in cellular senescence, the relationship of TL to aging and longevity in humans is not well understood.
	Omega-3 Shown to Improve Mood The results of a new epidemiological study and two new clinical trials support prior findings, most of which link increased intake of omega-3s to reduced risk of depression. In fact, an expert panel of the American Psychiatric Association concluded in 2007 that adequate intake of omega-3s may help people maintain a good mood.
	The Mental Power of Blueberries Eating blueberries may provide your body with much more than just antioxidant power. Scientists recently discovered that the natural compounds in blueberries are associated with the portions of the brain responsible for learning and memory.
	More Chewing, Less Eating Research emphasizes that chewing longer may help the success of a weight management plan due to the increased feeling of satisfaction and fullness that results from the additional chewing. Satiety is seen as a key target in the battle against obesity.
	Eye Health and Nutrition What should you eat to protect your eyesight? Based on research from multiple studies, there is a strong correlation between good nutrition and the prevention of age-related eye diseases. The American Optometric Association reminds us that nutrition and eye health are closely linked.
	Plant Sterols Get In the Way of Cholesterol Experts widely agree that plant sterols and stanols help to lower LDL cholesterol levels. The molecules of these substances appear very similar to molecules of cholesterol. During digestion, the body sees the molecules in the same way, so if it is absorbing the plant nutrients, some of the real cholesterol in the will pass through without being absorbed into the bloodstream. In effect, the plant molecules get in the way of the cholesterol and prevent it from getting through to the bloodstream. This little "traffic jam" helps maintain cholesterol levels in a normal range.
	When Getting "D"s Is a Good Thing It is difficult to get enough vitamin D from the foods we eat. Yet every tissue in the body utilizes this vitamin and the RDAs are too low, according to most health authorities. What's the best way to make sure you are supplying your body with plenty of the "sunshine vitamin?"
	One Test for Diabetes The A1C test, which measures average blood glucose levels over a period of two to three months, should now be the main tool doctors use to diagnose diabetes, according to a revised recommendation by an international panel of experts.
