letter from the editor
I
“
f you ask me my age, be prepared to wait a spell
while I calculate it. These days there are certain
things I just don’t retain in memory. I watch a
movie, enjoy it, and then promptly forget it. When
someone asks me if I’ve seen a certain movie, if it
has been more than six months I have to check with
my husband to find out. These small memory lapses I
can live with. In fact, forgetting movies has the added
benefit of being able to watch them the second time
and fully enjoy them again! When I started forgetting what I needed at
the grocery store and it was on my list, then I looked for help.

According to our anti-aging article on page 25, “By age 40, reports the
Alzheimer’s Association, two-thirds of us experience occasional lapses
of memory.” Luckily, we don’t have to be a statistic, there are many
actions we can take that will slow the process of aging. The practitioners
advertised in this magazine are a fabulous resource. Over the years I
have learned from them through their articles or personal attention.
Adjustments in my diet, exercise, and supplements have been key to
boosting my memory and improving my overall health. Adding omega-3
really jumpstarted my brain and got me back on track. I am so grateful
to have access to so many knowledgeable and caring natural health
practitioners through Natural Awakenings.

The bottom line, when it comes to maintaining my health it always
comes back to one thing: making the time to take care of myself. With
the start of a new year, it is the perfect time to consider one or two
changes in routine that will keep me feeling younger. Taking the time to
plan healthy meals and improve my exercise routine top the list.

B
oard Certified Master Clinical
Hypnotist, Susan Sawyer,
is offering a free experiential

Hypnosis Day. Hypnosis is a deep
state of relaxation and heightened

lose weight, relieve stress, sleep
better, overcome unproductive fears,

“Hypnosis can be used to quickly and effectively make more
than 200 changes in unwanted habits and behaviors,” says
Susan who would like to invite people to facilitate their New

lutamic acid, the most common
amino acid in vegetables, and which
accounts for almost a quarter of the protein
in vegetables, also helps reduce blood
pressure. Eating a vegetable-based diet,
suggests a new study published in the
Journal of the American Heart Association,
could help counter the current massive
public health problem of high blood
pressure, for which diagnosis and drug
treatment is often inadequate.
Folic Acid Update
F
olic acid, or folate, a B vitamin found in
many vegetables and whole grains, is known
to reduce neural tube defects in infants when
taken during pregnancy. But now, a study at the
University of Southern California has discovered
that men taking a daily folic acid supplement of
1 milligram ran twice the risk of prostate cancer
than those who took a placebo. Many foods are
already fortified with folic acid, say experts in a
BMC Public Health article, and taking the vitamin in
supplements may result in “overdosing.”

C
rossword puzzles, move over, because a new
study from the University of California attests
that “Googling” or otherwise browsing the Internet
lights up the brain like a Roman candle. When study
participants performed Web searches while undergoing MRI scans, they showed an improved efficiency
in cognitive processing and in the way their brain encodes information. This held
true even for middle-aged and older individuals who had minimal computer experience and who performed Internet searches for only a short period of time.
Internet searching, it appears, engages a complicated brain activity that exercises and improves the brain when it comes to language, reading, memory, visual
abilities, and reasoning and decision-making processes. The good news is that we
now have a new way to keep our brains fired up and that our brains continue to
learn and remain sensitive to fresh stimulation at any age.

Keeping
Our Thyroid
Healthy
T
he thyroid, one of the most
important glands, influences
many body functions, including
maintaining energy levels, sleep and
metabolism. To function properly, it
needs the right nutrients, foremost
among which is iodine, a basic
building block of thyroid hormones.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, iodine
deficiency is on the rise in the United
States, and choosing foods wisely is
crucial. Sea vegetables, such as kelp,
wakame and nori, the seaweed used
for making sushi, are good sources of
iodine and many other key minerals
that support thyroid health.
Zinc, iron and copper are essential to producing thyroid hormones,
and antioxidants like vitamins A, C
and E are necessary for neutralizing
physical oxidative stress, a condition
that often occurs along with poor
thyroid function. Selenium, a trace
mineral needed only in tiny amounts,
is readily supplied in foods like Brazil
nuts, peanuts, fish, eggs, parsley, oats
and mushrooms, as well as the noted
sea vegetables.

ood old-fashioned vinegar, an indispensible ingredient
in zesty salad dressings and tangy pickles, is living up to
its age-old reputation in folk medicine as a health promoter.
According to researchers with the Central Research Institute of
the Mizkan Group Corporation, in Japan, this kitchen staple is
a natural fat fighter that might help us control our weight.
The researchers showed that mice fed a high-fat diet and
given acetic acid developed up to 10 percent less body fat
than the control group; acetic acid is the main component
found in all vinegars. The study results also suggested that
vinegar slenderizes by turning on genes which produce
specific proteins that break down fatty acids in the body,
thereby preventing fat accumulation and weight gain.

Yoga’s Mindfulness
Helps Control Weight
N
ew, long-term research by the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center shows
that middle-aged people who practice yoga gained less weight over a 10-year
period than those who did not, independent of other physical activity and changes
in dietary habits. The difference is that yoga teaches mindful eating.
The researchers found that people who were aware of why they ate and
stopped eating when satisfied weighed less than those who ate without that awareness. Yoga cultivates mindfulness in a number of ways, starting with being able to
hold a challenging pose. A practitioner’s ability
to be calm and observant during physical discomfort teaches how to maintain calm in other
challenging situations as well, such as declining
to eat when we’re not hungry or eating extra
food when it tastes especially good. Satisfaction
also comes in awareness of how food looks,
tastes and smells.
The researchers concluded that mindfulness appears to be a state that can augment the
usual approaches to weight loss, such as counting calories, limiting portion size and not eating
when emotionally upset or depressed. Adding
yoga practice to a standard weight-loss program
may both make it more effective and promote
eating behavior that is healthy and empowering.

Is Your Carpet
Really Clean?
by Tim Bagby
C
arpet cleaning
can be a fairly
toxic practice.
Standard cleaning
formulas contain a
combination of harsh
chemical solvents
and detergents.
After cleaning, these
harmful residues remain in the carpet and are
released into the air. This “toxic soup” affects the
health of every member of the family, especially
small children and pets.
In addition, conventional carpet cleaning
typically uses large amounts of water or
“steam,” producing gallons of dirty water that
could end up in our streams, rivers, or ground
supply. They may also burn large amounts
of fuel and spew carbon monoxide into the
environment.
An alternative to this method is a low
moisture earth-friendly system called dryextraction. This unique process uses 97% less
water. It also saves energy since there are
no truck mounted pumping machines or dehumidifiers involved. The products used to
clean carpets are safe for people, pets, and
the environment. They contain no dyes, heavy
metals, eye or skin irritants, have low VOCs, and
are nontoxic by oral ingestion or by inhalation.
The system also reduces mold spores, dust mites,
pet dander and other allergens by up to 95%.
For more information on green cleaning

Side Effects of a Low-fat Diet
by Dr. Deepti Sadhwani
L
ow-fat diets have been widely promoted for lowering cholesterol
levels, for reducing body weight, and for preventing certain types
of cancer. At least one study, however, has found that although a
reduction in cholesterol may reduce mortality from heart disease it may
increase the incidence of fatal accidents, violent deaths, suicides, and
depression. Researchers at the University of Arizona now believe that
they may have found an explanation for this phenomenon. They point
out that fat restriction and cholesterol-lowering drugs may change the
concentrations of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in the tissues
including nerve tissue (neurons). Fat-restricting diets usually lead to a
relative increase in the intake of omega-6 PUFAs and a relative decrease
in the intake of omega-3 fatty acids. This can have serious consequences
in as much as the omega-3 fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and
docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) found in fish oils, are crucial for the proper
functioning of the nervous system. Several large-scale studies have
found a clear association between low blood levels of EPA and DHA
and an increased risk of depression, violence and suicide; a recent study
in Japan found that DHA supplementation reduced aggression among
healthy Japanese students.
Epidemiologic studies have found a clear correlation between a low
intake of EPA and DHA and the prevalence of depression. In two studies
of population groups in the USA the incidence of depression was found
to be 3.7% and 2.9%. Average intake of EPA and DHA in the USA is
estimated to be about 0.1 gram per day. In two Japanese studies, on the
other hand, the incidence of depression was only 0.9% and 0% and
the intake of EPA plus DHA was 1.5 grams per day and 4.2 grams/day
respectively. Other studies have shown that on-off dieting can produce a
serious imbalance in the ratio of fatty acids and may lead to depression
The researchers conclude that an extremely low-fat diet may be
counter-productive and have deleterious psychological ramifications.
They stress that dietary advice regarding cholesterol reduction, weight
loss, and cancer prevention should emphasize the importance of an
adequate intake of omega-3 fatty acids.

N
on-Surgical Spinal Decompression
is a new technology used primarily
to treat disc injuries in the neck and
in the low back. This safe treatment
option utilizes FDA cleared equipment
to apply distraction forces to spinal
structures in a precise and graduated
manner. Distraction is offset by cycles
of partial relaxation. This technique
of spinal decompression therapy, that
is, unloading due to distraction and
positioning, has shown the ability to
gently separate the vertebrae from each
other, creating a vacuum inside the discs
that we are targeting. This “vacuum
effect” is also known as negative intradiscal pressure.
The negative pressure may induce the
retraction of the herniated or bulging
disc into the inside of the disc, and
off the nerve root, thecal sac, or both.
It happens only microscopically each
time, but has cumulative results over
four to six weeks.
The cycles of decompression and
partial relaxation, over a series of visits,
promote the diffusion of water, oxygen,
and nutrient-rich fluids from the outside
of the discs to the inside. These nutrients
enable the torn and degenerated disc
fibers to begin to heal.
Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression
is very effective at treating bulging discs,
herniated discs, pinched nerves, sciatica,
radiating arm pain, degenerative disc
disease, leg pain, and facet syndromes.
Proper patient screening is imperative
and only the best candidates are
accepted for care.

Call to Expand the
Meaning of Universal
Health Care
Practitioners of alternative therapies
intent on influencing the health care
reform process continue to petition
Congress to think of health care as more
than just medical care—and to allow
insurance companies to provide coverage for their holistic treatments.
In 2007, a survey of 18 major HMOs and insurance providers revealed signs of
progress: 14 of them covered at least 11 of 34 alternative physical therapies, the
most common being chiropractic, acupuncture, massage therapy, biofeedback and
naturopathy. Coverage varies by state, but experts expect insurance policies will
follow demand. Estimates put current annual spending on complementary and
alternative therapies at $33 billion.
President Obama has expressed willingness to at least consider a role for some
alternative therapies in universal health care, but has set a tough standard. He told
a town meeting in Missouri, “My attitude is that we should do what works… I will
let the science guide me.”

Outlook for
2010 Fitness Trends
An American College of Sports Medicine
survey published in ACSM’s
Health & Fitness Journal
identifies counseling
with an experienced and
educated fitness professional
as the top fitness trend this
year. The trend’s rise from the third spot, posted in
2007 at the survey’s inception, is likely due to “increased
regulation and an influx of specialty certifications and educational
programs available” for these professionals.
Strength training surged to second, with programs addressing child obesity in
third place. Other 2010 trends include: personal training, core training, fitness
programs for older adults, functional fitness, sport-specific training, Pilates and
group personal training. The researchers expressed surprise at the move toward
group training, suggesting that it may reflect financial considerations for both the
trainers and their clients.

Bedroom Vroom
New Study Says
Dreams Tune
Up the Brain
To Freud, dreaming provides a playground for the unconscious mind; to
Jung, it is a stage where the psyche’s
archetypes act out primal themes.
Recent theories hold that dreams help
the brain to consolidate emotional
memories and to work through current life problems.
Now, in a new paper published
in the journal Natural Reviews
Neuroscience, Dr. J. Allan Hobson,
a psychiatrist and longtime sleep
researcher at Harvard, argues that the
main function of rapid-eye-movement
sleep, or REM, when most dreaming
occurs, is physiological.
The brain is warming its circuits,
anticipating the sights and sounds
and emotions of waking, tuning the
mind for conscious awareness. “It’s
like jogging; the body doesn’t remember every step, but it knows it has
exercised. It has been tuned up,” says
Hobson. “It’s the same idea here.”
The theory might help explain why
people forget so many dreams.
Hobson co-authored another paper
with Ursula Voss, of J.W. GoetheUniversity in Frankfurt, in the journal
Sleep, where scientists found that lucid dreaming, one of many examples
of a mixed mental state, has elements
of both REM and waking awareness.
In a lucid dream, Hobson explains,
“You are seeing the split brain in action. This tells me that there are these
two systems, and that in fact, they
can be running at the same time.”

Obesity has reached epidemic proportions with over two thirds of Americans
overweight and 30% of them obese. The obese patient is often encumbered
with other ailments, such as Diabetes, Heart Disease, Hypertension, Arthritis
and Fibromyalgia. Often these problems will begin to diminish and even
disappear, as the patient begins to lose weight.
Weight loss is a journey that first begins with education and an understanding
of the importance of nutrition and proper diet. The order in which you eat
your proteins, carbohydrates and fats is very essential to regulate your weight
and prevent disease and silent inflammation. Supplementing your diet with
vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids is also a very important step in

Watch for Illness
Know When Your Pet is “Old”
According to Dr. Johnny Hoskins, in
Geriatrics and Gerontology of the Dog
and Cat, the canine age that qualifies
as senior depends largely on the breed
and size. This veterinarian notes that
dogs weighing less than 20 pounds are
seniors at nine to 13 years, while giant
dogs of 90 pounds or more are oldsters
between six and nine years. Smaller
breeds usually live longer.
Schedule Regular
Wellness Exams
Comprehensive geriatric
exams help identify early

HEALTHCARE
As a tie-dye-clad, free-spirited medical student of the ’60s with a fascination for botanical remedies, Chinese
medicine and mind-body healing, young Andrew Weil soon became disheartened by the conventional
approach to medicine as practiced in the West. “I was dismayed at the lack of connection with the natural
world, the complete ignorance about botanicals and the utter absence of interest in any mind-body
connection,” recalls Dr. Weil, who graduated from Harvard Medical School in 1968 as a medical doctor,
with no intention to ever practice medicine. “I left there completely unprepared to help people stay well. I
got very discouraged.”
Now, 40 years later, this bestselling author, internationally renowned physician and founder of the Arizona
Center for Integrative Medicine has channeled his discontent into action. Weil is among those pioneering a
burgeoning new kind of medicine that many insist holds the answer to our nation’s healthcare woes.
I
ntegrative medicine, a thoughtful blend of conventional
medicine, common sense prevention and modalities
once dubbed alternative, such as acupuncture,
meditation, breath work and dietary supplements, has
caught on widely from coast to coast in the past decade,
both among consumers and once-skeptical healthcare
practitioners. The Association of American Medical Colleges
reports that 113 of the nation’s 126 medical schools now
include discussion of complementary and alternative
therapies in conventional medical courses. Seventy-seven
offer standalone electives in such approaches as traditional
Chinese medicine and mindfulness-based stress reduction.
As of this year, eight major medical schools require that
students take part in a 250-hour integrative medicine
curriculum as part of their residency.
22
According to the American Hospital Association, 16 percent
of hospitals, including medical facilities at Harvard and Duke
universities, now feature integrative medicine centers. Of
those that don’t, 24 percent plan to offer them in the future.
In February 2009, the Institute of Medicine, once
leery of all things alternative, held a momentous two-day
summit, Integrative Medicine and the Health of the Public,
inviting 600 policymakers and practitioners to explore
where this new form of medicine is taking us. Days later, a
congressional health committee was calling on Weil—once
a dark horse among his medical colleagues—for testimony
about how to fix the nation’s crumbling healthcare system.
His answer: Stop focusing so much on making our current
system more accessible via insurance reform, and instead,
create a new system.
“What we have is not a healthcare
system at all; it is a disease management
system,” advises Weil. “Making the
current system cheaper and more
accessible will just spread the dysfunction
more widely. What we need is a new
kind of medicine.”
Integrative, Not Alternative
Mary Guerrera, a medical doctor and
director of integrative medicine at the
University of Connecticut School of
Medicine, stresses that integrative is not
just another word for alternative.
“Alternative medicine indicates
something to be used in place of.
Integrative is a term that has emerged
in the past decade to reflect a bringing
together of the best that conventional
and alternative medicine have to offer,”
says Guerrera, who went on to study
acupuncture and holistic medicine after
completing her conventional medical
training in the ‘80s.
She explains that because one
person can’t be an expert in everything,
integrative medicine hinges on the idea
of team care. For instance, a cancer
patient might see her specialists for
chemotherapy and surgery, and then
be referred to an acupuncturist for
treatments to help with nausea or pain
management, as well as a nutritionist
to help her restore lost weight. A
patient going into surgery might
practice mindfulness-based meditation
beforehand, which has been shown to
hasten healing times, decrease hospital
stays and thus, save money.
“Integrative medicine is team-based,
collaborative care,” Guerrera explains.
Cardiologist Mimi Guarneri is medical
director and founder of the Scripps Center for Integrative Medicine, a multi-disciplinary center that offers care for people
with heart disease, pain, weight management needs, cancer, diabetes, stress and
women’s health issues. She notes that the
center receives 3,500 patients a month,
many of whom arrive seeking relief from
costly drugs or surgeries.
“One patient came to me who had
just had a bypass. He was 330 pounds,
suffered from sleep apnea and was
diabetic. He had all the risk factors

In 1997, after years of quietly teaching and practicing
integrative medicine in Arizona, Weil was propelled from
relative obscurity to the cover of Time magazine. He has
since become a go-to resource for both lawmakers and other
doctors seeking healthcare advice.
Weil believes that money, or lack thereof, made it happen.
“No amount of ideological argument ever changed
anything,” he reflects. In this case, “It was when
pocketbooks started getting squeezed that people started
paying attention. Things are going to get a lot worse, and
when they do, the wisdom of what we are doing will
become even more apparent.”
During congressional testimony before the Senate
committee on health, education, labor and pensions last
February, Weil joined heart physician and health guru Dr.
Dean Ornish and others in rattling off a stunning list of
statistics: The United States currently spends 16 percent of
its gross domestic product on health care, more than any
other country in the world, yet its health outcomes are
ranked 37th in the world by the World Health Organization.
In 2006, insurance companies covered 1.3 million coronary
angioplasty procedures, at roughly $48,000 each, and
448,000 coronary bypass operations at a cost of $99,000.
Yet, things like nutrition counseling, exercise programs and
stress-reduction classes, which studies show could prevent
as much as 90 percent of all heart disease, are typically not
covered by insurance.
That, remarks Weil, needs to change, and he’s optimistic
that it will.
“We need to transform medicine so we are not so
dependent on these high-tech expensive solutions for
everything,” concludes Weil, who outlines his plan in his
new book, Why our Health Matters: A Vision of Medicine
That Can Transform the Future. “We need doctors who
know when and when not to use them and who are trained
to use other kinds of interventions. That’s the great promise
of integrative medicine: It can bring effective, lower-cost
treatments into the mainstream.”

By contrast, one 2006 study of 2,800 seniors, published
in The Journal of the American Medical Association, found
that those who engaged in a 10-session cognitive training
program, with a four-session booster training at 11 and 35
months, had less difficulty with daily living than the control
group. More, they still showed heightened cognitive abilities
five years later.
A 2009 study, published in the Journal of the American

Meanwhile, researchers are exploring another compound,
resveretrol, contained in the skins of red grapes, berries and
dark beans, for its ability to slow aging by activating genes
called sirtuins.
One 2008 study by the National Institute on Aging found
that mice fed resveretrol had better balance and motor
coordination, plus bone, heart and eye health. Human trials
have been scarce, but several are ongoing. In the meantime,
hundreds of resveratrol supplements have hit the market, and

GUARDING AGAINST
How Environmental Toxins May Contribute
to Autism Spectrum Disorder
by Brita Belli
W
hen the results of an autism study were published
in the journal Pediatrics in October 2009, the
figures were shocking—one in every 91 U.S.
children was reported to have autism. That was up from
one in 500 a decade ago, with boys four times as likely to
acquire the disorder.
Behaviors of autism include: failure to respond to stimuli
or make eye contact; speech delays; compulsive behavior
like head-shaking; stacking objects or intense repetition of
daily activities; and extreme noise sensitivity.
For years, research into the causes of autism has revolved
around genetics. Even as the rate of autism among the
nation’s children continues to rise at an astonishing 10 to 17
percent a year, research has been slow to shift its focus to
other factors—namely, environmental toxins.
The Chemical Connection
New autism research is making the case that environmental
toxins such as mercury, lead, polychlorinated biphenyls
(PCBs), flame retardants and pharmaceutical drugs—
including antidepressants in utero or antibiotics in infancy—
may be aggravating a pre-existing genetic condition.
Yet James Adams, head of the Autism/Asperger’s Research
Program at Arizona State University, remarks that, “There
is still extremely little money out there for looking into
environmental issues.”
Adams’ own research has discovered a correlation
between heavy metal exposure and autism severity. In one
study, Dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA), a medication used
to treat lead poisoning, was administered to children with
autism. The researchers found that children with autism
“dumped three times as much mercury as typical children,”
reports Adams, suggesting that their bodies could not
properly excrete the toxin. In another study, the baby teeth
28
of children with autism were found to contain twice the
mercury as those of typical children.
Adams’ findings have also uncovered one common
thread in the medical history of children with autism:
heavy use of oral antibiotics in infancy. He explains that
antibiotics disrupt the gut’s good flora, further diminishing
the child’s ability to excrete toxins. Such treatments are
primarily used for recurring ear infections, but as Dr. Jerry
Kartzinel reports in his book, Healing and Preventing
Autism (co-written with celebrity autism treatment advocate
Jenny McCarthy), those frequent ear infections are, “the
most common marker for immune system dysfunction... in
babies and very young children.”
A New Approach
A growing number of doctors
like Kartzinel and researchers
like Adams are subscribing
to the protocols set out
by Defeat Autism Now!
(DAN), a project of
the nonprofit Autism
Research Institute,
which supports a
biomedical basis
for autism and
its treatment.
DAN practitioners,
according to the
group’s description, “do
not regard psychotropic
drugs as the best or only
means of treating autistic patients.”
Instead, they look for triggers
that may aggravate a pre-existing genetic condition. These
include everything from vaccines to environmental toxins,
like mercury, in fish, arsenic in drinking water and lead in
air pollution; overuse of antibiotics and over-the-counter
medicines in early infancy; and a diet heavy in wheat and
dairy that contributes to gut inflammation.
This holistic view of autism’s causes also extends to
the potential range of treatments. These may include
chelation therapy (removing heavy metals), gluten- and
casein-free diets (removing wheat and dairy), administering
supplements with omega-3 fatty acids and/or hyperbaric
oxygen therapy (in which oxygen is administered in a
pressurized chamber).
“The presumption,” advises Richard Lathe, a molecular
biologist and author of Autism, Brain, and Environment,
“is that environmental toxicity has increased enough that,
combined with childhood vaccines, [industrial] production
and fish consumption, it has led to an increase in total
exposure to heavy metals.”
Consequently, these concerned researchers are pointing
out clear steps that parents can take to minimize their own
and their children’s toxic exposures, starting by taking
precautions during pregnancy, minimizing exposure to
mercury by avoiding fish like shark and swordfish and
limiting consumption of albacore tuna. Pregnant women,
counsels Lathe, should also be sure to take the proper
prenatal vitamins, such as calcium, so that the fetus is not
drawing minerals from the mother’s bones, where heavy
metals are stored.
“The body locks heavy metals away in bone and fat,”

explains Lathe. “During pregnancy, that stuff is recycled [in
supplying nourishment] to the child.”
It’s also important to avoid exposures to toxic chemicals
via cleaning products, both during pregnancy and after birth.
Homemade substitutes, using ingredients like distilled white
vinegar and baking soda, are safe (and cheap) alternatives.
Other chemical culprits? Plastic containers and bath
toys can leech chemicals when heated, cleaned or used
for teething. Car seats and crib mattresses made with flame
retardants, as well as toys with lead paint, carry toxins.
A 2005 study from the nonprofit watchdog Environmental
Working Group found an average of 200 industrial chemicals
and pollutants in umbilical cord blood samples from 10
babies born in U.S. hospitals around the country. Of these,
the report said, “180 cause cancer in humans and animals,
217 are toxic to the brain and nervous system and 208 cause
birth defects... in animal tests.”
For children who may have an underlying genetic
predisposition to autism, the chemical overload starts early.
Increasing it through allergy-triggering diets, an overload of
antibiotics and/or mercury-containing vaccines could have
dangerous, long-lasting consequences. Informed parents
know to take precautions early and often.

NATURAL DEFENSE
Top 10 Whole Foods to Counter Aging
by Gary Null
T
oday’s battle against the effects of aging buzzes with
hype about acai, goji, noni and mangosteen. But what
about the foods most people typically eat?
It turns out that many anti-aging foods can be found in
everyday kitchens, and unlike some other solutions, they
can keep us looking and feeling younger and improve our
all-around health without breaking the budget.
1. Oranges Loaded
with antioxidants, oranges
are also packed with vitamin
C, fiber and folate and
significant amounts of vitamins
A and B1, potassium and
calcium. According to studies by
the Australian research group CSIRO
and others, oranges help boost immunity, lower cholesterol
and reduce free radical damage and oxidative stress.
2. Blueberries One of the most
exciting nutritional properties of blueberries is their abundance of antioxidants
called anthocyanins. Studies published in
the Journal of Neuroscience suggest that
these powerful phytonutrients neutralize free
radical damage, enhance the health of all
body tissues, protect the cardiovascular system, guard the brain against oxidative stress, and
improve brain function, including memory.
3. Onions The more
pungent the onion,
the greater the health
benefits. Studies like
those from Cornell
University have found
that high onion
consumption lowers
blood sugar levels
and decreases total
cholesterol, while increasing levels of HDL (good
cholesterol). Consequently, onions are beneficial in
preventing heart disease and stroke.
4. Garlic Known health
benefits of garlic are
extensive. The
Journal of
Nutritional
Biochemistry
reports that garlic
inhibits cardiac
artery calcification and
reduces the amounts of free radicals in the bloodstream,
helping to reduce plaque deposits in the arteries. Research
by the University of Maryland Medical Center also attests
that garlic contains anti-inflammatory compounds that help
protect against conditions often associated with aging, like
asthma and arthritis.

5. Legumes All types of everyday legumes are an
excellent source of cholesterol-lowering fiber and energyboosting protein and iron. No one bean has an advantage
over the others in providing vital nutrients. Lentils are
high in fiber and, according to a study published in
Nutrition Reviews, help
to manage blood sugar.
Black beans are rich
in anthocyanidins.
Kidney beans,
filled with thiamin,
work to improve
functioning of
neurotransmitters
essential for memory, notes the National Institutes on
Aging. Green beans are rich in vitamin K, essential to
bone support. Garbanzo beans provide high amounts of
minerals that aid in metabolizing carbohydrates, fats and
proteins and strengthening tooth enamel, as studied by
Dr. Lydia Bazzano, a professor at Tulane University School
of Public Health and Tropical Medicine. According to
research by the National Institutes of Health and others,
fiber-rich legumes play an important role in the prevention
of gallstones, increased cardiac health, regulation of blood
sugar, lowered total cholesterol levels (as well as increasing
beneficial HDL cholesterol) and protection from cancers,
especially colorectal cancer.
6. Shiitake
Mushrooms
These
fungi are a good source
of iron and lentinan, a
polysaccharide that studies
at the Iizuka Institute, in Japan,
suggest activates our immune
system’s tumor-fighting T cells.
7. Tomatoes Tomatoes are loaded with healthy
vitamins and trace minerals. They
are also a good source of
lycopene, which studies
from the American
Association for
Cancer Research
have linked to
the protection of
DNA from damage,
prevention of heart
disease and protection
against cancers, including
colorectal, breast,
endometrial, lung and pancreatic types. Tomatoes are also
rich with carotenoids, which research by the Cochrane
Hepato-Biliary Group has associated with protection
from heart disease and cancer, improved night vision and
regulation of blood sugar.

9. Soy Although soy is a legume, it deserves separate
mention, because of its extensive and well-researched health
benefits and use in a wide range of forms. Soy offers a high
concentration of molybdenum, a
trace mineral that plays
a role in three enzyme
systems involved in
metabolizing carbs,
fats and proteins and
tryptophan, an amino acid
essential for growth and normal
metabolism, as well as iron, fiber, phosphorus,
omega-3 fatty acids, magnesium, copper, vitamin B2 and
potassium.
10. Whole Grains
While most Americans know that
whole-grain breads and pastas are healthier than those made
with refined white flour, we might include many grains other
than wheat in our diet, in
order to fight the effects
of aging. Spelt,
for example,
provides riboflavin,
which research from
the Micronutrient
Information
Center with the Linus Pauling Institute shows can
promote healthy skin and good vision. Barley can help
with sleep regulation. Millet can help reduce the risk of a
heart attack and lower blood pressure.
With all these examples of truly good eating right in our
own kitchen, there is no reason not to start improving our
diet right now to pave the way for a longer, healthier life.
