Product Highlights

Juice Complex combines several specialized juice extracts in a convenient capsule: Açai, Goji, Noni, Mangosteen, and Pomegranate.

Free radicals are unstable molecules that steal electrons from other molecules in your body, including your DNA molecules. Thousands of free radicals are created every day in your body when nutrients are oxidized by your cells to produce energy. You are also exposed to free radicals from a variety of external sources.

Oxidative stress accelerates the aging process and contributes to disease. By supplementing with antioxidants, such as the juices of these unusual fruits, you can draw on their capacities to neutralize free radicals and help protect your cellular health and immune system function.

Buy now and save $5 when you order Juice Complex until the end of the year.

Exercise to Stay Healthy

Research undertaken to test the effects of exercise on breast cancer concluded that women who performed more exercise not only lost body fat and increase muscle tone, but also came down with fewer colds during the test period. They had about half as many colds as the group that did not exercise, indicating the power of exercise to boost the immune system.

Recent guidelines for physical activity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recommend that adults engage in at least 2.5 hours per week of moderate aerobic exercise. If you can walk for a half an hour per day, you are well on your way to fitness. These recommendations were based on the first thorough review of scientific research about physical activity and health in more than a decade.

Yes, it is actually harder to get moving this time of year, but it doesn't have to be impossible. Try revisiting your goals and starting your day with your fitness routine so that you make sure it gets included in your schedule.

One way to amp up a walking routine is to add poles and vary your stride. The extra challenge to the body could actually double your effort and calorie burn without adding any strain to the joints. In fact, the poles can help minimize the impact on your hips, knees and ankles.

Runner's World Online offers a range of leg-related exercise information, including a series of exercises to strengthen and protect the knee, tips to avoid blisters, and proper stretching techniques.

Ray and Terry advise everyone to do some strength training on a regular basis. This site offers exercises to eliminate lower back pain as well as tips to help women get over the hesitancy to lift weights and increase their muscle—one way to pursue overall fitness.

We only use thirty percent of our muscles' true force on a daily basis. Exercise specialist Giles Wily shares the principles of flexibility in this interview excerpt.

Health News Radar

	Caloric Restriction for Long Life Ray & Terry recommend moderate caloric restriction—reducing calorie intake to about 20% less than the level for your ideal weight. In mouse studies, CR has been shown to increase lifespan while maintaining good health. http://afp.google.com/article And counteracting aging may be more important than fighting major age-related diseases. The maximum impact on our overall health can be made by extending the age specific risk of death, frailty and disability. http://www.exchangemagazine.com/
	Help Ward off the Flu with Vitamin D There is good scientific evidence that vitamin D helps support a healthy immune system and ward off colds and the flu. The seasonal onslaught of these bugs may be related to the fact that people in northern climates cannot get enough sunlight in the winter to synthesize adequate amounts of the vitamin in their bodies.
	Gogi Berry Shown to Improve Well-Being A study published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine indicates that consuming goji berry can improve quality of sleep, sense of well-being and feelings of energy.
	Avoiding Stroke on Your Own Steam You probably already know that healthy lifestyle can reduce your risk of stroke, but do you know by how much? A recent study concluded that lifestyle can reduce your risk by a whopping 80 percent!
	Fructose Fuelling the Obesity Crisis? Researchers are suspicious that different sugars may have different effects on our health. For instance, heavy consumption of fructose in overweight individuals appears to be linked to increased body fat and insulin sensitivity.
	So You Had Genetic Testing… Now What? Although testing for genetic variations is now readily available through the internet, doctors do not necessarily know what to do with the information when a patient brings it to their appointment. The Coriell Institute for Medical Research plans to change this confusion with a new project.
	New Site for Longevity Efforts In a continued effort to fight aging, the Methuselah Foundation has launched a new website, Mfoundation.org that will serve as a platform for research and ideas. Interact with the Foundation's researchers and learn about the work they are doing to better understand and reduce the degenerative effects of aging.
	Recycle for a Longer Life Damaged proteins build up our cells as we grow older and have been suspected of contributing to organ decline. Recent research indicates that a break down in our cellular cleaning mechanism causes these proteins to accumulate and scientists tuned up the mechanism in mice, which stopped the aging process in their livers.

Stay tuned for more special offers and resources!

Best wishes for great health!
