ACETYL L-CARNATINE
Mitochondria are membrane-enclosed cellular compartments that are the major source of a cell’s energy. Mitochondria convert nutrients, the products of carbohydrate and lipid (fat) metabolism into energy as well as doing many other specialized tasks.
As we age, the mitochondria function less efficiently, producing less energy. These less efficient mitochondria also create more oxidants, causing […]

BEST BANG FOR THE BUCK
I’m not a trust fund baby, so I realize that supplements are expensive, but they’re probably cheaper than the possible consequences of not taking them, i.e. doctor’s bills, hospitalization, shorter life span, lower quality of life (for an explanation, see my post Why People Need To Take Nutritional Supplements).
That puts us […]

FOODS ASSOCIATED WITH LESS WRINKLING
Now, here are some of the foods the researchers from Monash University found coincided with less wrinkling:

 
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Eggs
Fish (especially fatty fish, such as sardines)
Fruit
Nuts
Olive oil and olives
Tea
Vegetables (especially leafy greens, spinach, eggplant, asparagus, celery, onions, leeks and garlic)

What a shock! These are the foods that are part of the Paleolithic Diet! […]

FOODS ASSOCIATED WITH MORE WRINKLING
Here are some of the foods that the researchers from Monash University found coincided with more wrinkling:

 
•
•
•
•
•
Cakes, pastries and desserts
Full fat dairy products (especially unfermented products and ice cream)
Margarine
Potatoes
Soft drinks and cordials

Notice the pattern? Roots, sugar, white flour, dairy, which is exactly what you would predict from my posts Food Combining […]

WHAT YOU EAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE
Believe it or not, certain foods are associated with increased wrinkling and other foods with less wrinkling.
Not terribly surprisingly, the foods associated with less wrinkling coincide almost perfectly with the Paleolithic diet (see my post Secrets of the Paleolithic Diet), and the foods associated with wrinkling are part of the […]

DEPRESSION
Depression has been extensively reported to be associated with low dietary intake of omega-3 fatty acids and low levels of EPA and DHA in the blood (Omega-3 fatty acids and major depression: a primer for the mental health professional, Lipids Health Dis 2004;3(1):25).
An 8-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial performed at China Medical College Hospital in Taiwan […]

PSORIASIS
Several double blind, randomized, placebo controlled trials have shown promising results treating psoriasis with omega-3 fatty acids.
In a study done at the Royal Hallamshire Hospital, Sheffield, 28 patients with chronic psoriasis were randomly given either fish oil capsules or olive oil capsules. After 8 weeks of treatment, there was a significant lessening in the fish […]

ARTHRITIS
A randomised, double blind, placebo controlled study done at State University Groningen, The Netherlands, demonstrated that dietary fish oil supplementation is effective in suppressing clinical symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, such as joint swelling index and duration of early morning stiffness (Effects of fish oil supplementation in rheumatoid arthritis, Ann Rheum Dis. 1990 February; 49(2): 76–80).
