		<description><![CDATA[Coenzyme  Q10 (CoQ10) is a vital nutrient responsible for the energy spark to all 100  trillion of your body’s cells. Without ample amounts of CoQ10 your skin, lung,  liver, heart and brain cells could stop functioning. And if you suffer a 75  percent loss of CoQ10, you could possibly lose your life! We’ll offer some safe  and effective ways to boost your nutrient levels and keep your cells performing  at 100 percent!]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you’re one of more than 39 million Americans  taking cholesterol-lowering drugs, then you probably have a deficiency in the  spark needed to ignite your fuel and turn it into energy—the powerful  antioxidant known as coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10). </p>
<p>This amazing antioxidant, discovered in 1957,  provides 95 percent of your body’s energy! And hundreds of scientists have  proven that the more CoQ10 you have the more energetic your body will be.</p>
<p>When you’re young, your liver produces CoQ10 in the  amounts necessary to give strength to the muscles and cells of your body. CoQ10  can help:</p>
<ul>
<li>Protect your skin and hair by replacing cell tissue.</li>
<li>Keep your vision sharp.</li>
<li>Flush your arteries of the gunk that can cause life-threatening  heart disasters.</li>
<li>Protect your essential organs like the liver and  kidneys.</li>
<li>And MORE.</li>
</ul>
<p>But as you get older, especially when you hit your  40s, your levels of CoQ10 decrease to the point of being inadequate to sustain  the energy levels you need.</p>
<p>Another cause in the decrease of needed CoQ10 levels  in your body is the use of statin drugs such as Lipitor® and Zocor®, used to  lower cholesterol.</p>
<p>Even though CoQ10 is important for the overall  health of your body, it has been proven to be of the utmost importance to the  health of your heart. Major studies directed by leading scientists and reported  in highly respected medical journals continue to prove that CoQ10 is essential  in maintaining healthy blood pressure and regulating the rhythm of the heart.</p>
<p>So, what do you do if your fatigue levels are high… your natural CoQ10  levels are low… and your health is being compromised? Try increasing the foods  in your diet that contain higher levels of CoQ10 such as soybeans, sesame oil,  sardines, mackerel, peanuts and sesame seeds, just to name a few.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[The  effects of an enlarged prostate can not only disturb your everyday activities,  but it can lead to a more serious problem such as abnormal cell growth, which has  been linked to prostate cancer. But with the right all-natural nutrients, your  worst prostate symptoms may just disappear! To find out how to protect your  health for decades to come, keep reading!]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If  you get up at night for frequent bathroom visits, then it could be due to your decreased  prostate health. And if your urine stream is often reduced to a few drops or  dribbles&hellip; then this article could help warn you of a dangerous condition known  as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).</p>
<p>What  is BPH? This condition causes an enlarged prostate. When this happens your  prostate swells and puts pressure on your urethra&mdash;the tube that carries urine  from your bladder out of the body. The more your prostate grows the more  problems you begin to have with your urinary functions. </p>
<p>Besides  frequent bathroom visits and weak urine stream, other symptoms of BPH include:</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>Burning sensation in your groin area</li>
<li>Interrupted sleep that drains your energy the next day</li>
<li>Pain in your lower back and hips</li>
<li>And low sex drive and soft erections</li>
</ul>
<p>Under normal  conditions your prostate should be about the size and shape of a walnut&hellip; and  it&rsquo;s responsible for providing fluid for semen&hellip; moistening the lining of your  uretha&hellip; and protecting sperm from the acidic environment of the vagina and  cervix.&nbsp; </p>
<p>If you&rsquo;re having  signs and symptoms of BPH, please see your physician for testing to determine  your condition. If left alone, BPH can often lead to abnormal cell growth,  which is the main cause of prostate cancer.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Calcium is a mineral found in our  bones, teeth and body tissues that helps protect our body from head to toe. But  when your calcium levels drop you could be at risk for decreased bone density.  This could mean a host of dangerous conditions and painful fractures or broken  bones. To ensure your body maintains optimum vitamin and mineral levels, check  out our list of nutritious and beneficial foods for maximum bone protection.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Calcium  is one of the most important minerals for your body and your bones. This  essential strength-building nutrient helps your body maintain proper blood  vessel function… secrete hormones and enzymes… and send messages through your  central nervous system.</p>
<p>Many  people think that in order to drop a few pounds, they can simply drop many calcium-rich  dairy products from their diet. Wrong! Not only will your weight loss efforts  be more difficult, but you could put your heart and brain at increased risk. </p>
<p>So  make sure you’re getting enough calcium with a balanced and nutritious diet.  According to WHFoods.org, foods high in calcium include yogurt, goat’s milk,  celery, broccoli, kelp, asparagus, garlic, tofu and oranges. Plus, spices such  as garlic, rosemary, parsley and oregano can boost your intake of calcium.</p>
<p>But  calcium alone can’t provide the highest protection for your bones. You need to  balance your calcium intake with vitamin D, which is known as the “calcium  helper” since it metabolizes the mineral for maximum health benefits. You can  get vitamin D from safe sun exposure or from foods such as cod liver oil,  salmon, tuna, eggs and beef liver. </p>
<p>So  to help increase your bone mass and prevent the breakdown of bone tissue as you  age, be sure to get ample amounts of calcium and vitamin D with a nutritious  diet or quality supplements. These two vital nutrients are essential for a long  and strong, healthy life! </p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p>Joint and muscle pain can hit you  literally at any time&#8230; when you try to get out of bed in the morning or as you  try to relax after a long day. It may even interrupt your golf or tennis game, and hinder you from enjoying all sorts of daily activities. To get natural relief with essential vitamins and nutrients, keep reading today’s joint-health breakthrough and you may discover how to kiss your pain goodbye&#8230; </p>]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When  pain strikes your back, legs, knees, hands or any other joint in your body, you  probably reach for over-the-counter meds or prescription drugs to get relief.  However, these drugs are loaded with chemicals and toxins, plus produce side effects  like muscle damage and possible liver and kidney failure. </p>
<p>There  are many natural solutions to help relieve your chronic or occasional pain  associated with arthritis, bruises, backaches, sprains or strains. Essential  nutrients such as aloe leaf, camphor, dimethyl sulfone (MSM), vitamin E,  menthol and eucalyptus oil can help with your symptoms. When applied topically,  they can penetrate deep into your hot spots for instant relief. </p>
<p>A  study published in the <em>Journal of  Rheumatology</em> showed that camphor, when applied topically with a blend of  glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate, produced a significant reduction of  osteoarthritis knee pain. Results were seen in as little as four weeks.</p>
<p>In  fact, according to <em>The MSM Miracle</em> by  Earl R. Mindell, physicians report that 60 to 70 percent of patients with  bursitis responded well to MSM. This nutrient can help relieve pain associated  with tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, Achilles tendon contraction and tendonitis  in the shoulders, arms and feet.</p>
<p>Why  not toss out those dangerous prescription meds and discover the latest  breakthrough solutions for your aches and pains&mdash;and you’ll find your days and  nights just may be completely pain-free!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A  healthy bowel transit time should take between 16 and 24 hours from eating to  eliminating. But the average American can go up to 96 hours without a bowel  movement. That’s four days that rotting waste has been in your system blocking  the absorption of key minerals and nutrients&hellip; causing fatigue and severe  abdominal pain&hellip; resulting in embarrassing gas and irritable bowels&hellip; and leaving  you with bad breath and skin outbreaks.</p>
<p>The  truth is: You can’t be healthy if your colon is sick. So getting your colon and  excretory system back in working order should be your number one priority!  There are many safe and effective all-natural solutions that will help you  experience regular and painless bowel movements. </p>
<p>These  nutrients include:</p>
<p><strong>Cascara sagrada</strong>&mdash;this remarkable herb enhances the  contractions in your colon and allows your bowels to move and empty on a  regular basis.<br />
  <strong>Senna leaf</strong>&mdash;this ancient herb helps with your  slow sluggish bowels, so you may never suffer from constipation again.<br />
  <strong>Black walnut bark</strong>&mdash;this herb helps restore healthy  bowel function by eliminating parasites and their eggs—even attacks  hard-to-kill tapeworms.<br />
  <strong>Peppermint leaf</strong>&mdash;this plant is known as the “tummy  soother” since it can help relieve bloating, calm an agitated stomach and  eliminate painful cramps.<br />
  <strong>Slippery elm bark</strong>&mdash;this nutrient can help reduce  inflammation and anal swelling, plus heal irritated intestines and damaged  tissues.<br />
  <strong>Vitamin C­</strong>&mdash;this essential vitamin can help  support your immune system, promote a natural laxative effect and help prevent  roundworm and other parasite infestations. </p>
<p>Once  you incorporate these essential nutrients into your daily regimen, you can  start to experience healthy, regular bowel movements and begin to eliminate  dangerous parasites and build-up from your colon. </p>

		<description><![CDATA[Parasites can invade your body at any time and may go undetected for days, months, even years! In fact, your colon could be impacted with toxins and build-up that create a breeding ground for hundreds of microscopic invaders. Research studies and scientific authors agree that the cause of almost all disease—even death—begins in the colon. To find out how your colon health affects your entire body.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Most Americans would probably adamantly deny being at risk for parasites. You’re a clean person, right? You wash your hands before eating… you don’t travel outside the country regularly… and you consume healthy foods.</p>
<p>But the presence of parasites could be the reason you continue to experience constipation or diarrhea… irritable bowels… bloating… strained bowel movements… heartburn… bad breath… and cramps.</p>
<p>According to James F. Balch, M.D., and Morton Walker, D.P.M., the authors of <em>Heartburn and What to Do About It</em>, 76 percent of the New York suburban patients they tested had at least one parasitic organism.</p>
<p>Mehmet Oz, M.D., better known as Dr. Oz from <em>The Oprah Winfrey Show, </em>revealed that 90 percent of Americans have parasites in their body right now, but they don’t even know it!</p>
<p>In fact you may have parasites if you:</p>
<ul>
<li>Eat fresh fruits and vegetables</li>
<li>Drink tap water</li>
<li>Work or live with children</li>
<li>Have household pets</li>
<li>Eat raw foods like sushi and steak tartare</li>
<li>Take antibiotics and prescription or over-the-counter drugs</li>
<li>Use public transportation</li>
<li>Shake hands with people</li>
<li>Eat fish or pork products not cooked properly</li>
<li>Travel to foreign countries</li>
</ul>
<p>Parasites love to set up camp in your dirty colon and go undetected for days, months, even years! To promote optimum colon health and live parasite-free, look for all-natural nutrients like cascara sagrada, senna leaf, black walnut bark and slippery elm bark.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[There are many factors that play into your blood sugar imbalance&#8212;some you can't control and some you can. This health threat can creep up on you if you don't monitor your diet, exercise regimen and stress levels. To find out more helpful solutions to ward off insulin resistance and other blood sugar-related conditions, keep reading this informative article guaranteed to boost your health... ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you one of the 20 million Americans with a blood sugar imbalance?</p>
<p>Or one of the 54 million Americans with borderline blood sugar problems?</p>
<p>Do you have a family history of blood sugar troubles?</p>
<p>If you answered yes to any of these questions, it&#8217;s important you keep reading.</p>
<p>If you notice you&#8217;re urinating more often&#8230; hungrier than usual&#8230; fatigued&#8230; irritable&#8230; having tingling sensations in your hands or feet&#8230; or slow to heal from cuts and bruises, you may need to be screened for blood sugar problems.</p>
<p>However, some people may not experience any of these symptoms so this possible serious condition can silently do damage without you even knowing it!</p>
<p>The University of Maryland School of Medicine in Baltimore reports that by the time a blood sugar-related health problem is diagnosed, many people have lost 50 percent of the function of their pancreas. And statistics show that more than 20 percent of those diagnosed are NOT overweight! Surprised?</p>
<p>This is because genetics and environment play an important role in your health, including key factors such as age, family history, exposure to toxins, prescription drug use and stress.</p>
<p>So how do I recommend you combat blood sugar problems and avoid insulin imbalance, high cholesterol levels, poor immune function and kidney problems?</p>
<p>Try these six helpful suggestions:</p>
<p>   1. Reduce your weight by at least 7 percent.<br />
   2. Exercise 30 minutes a day on a regular basis.<br />
   3. Switch to a low-carbohydrate, high-fiber diet.<br />
   4. Strive to get seven to eight hours of sleep each night.<br />
   5. Find ways to help manage feelings of stress, depression and anger.<br />
   6. Consider supplementing with natural nutrients scientifically proven to help regulate your blood sugar levels.</p>
<p>By incorporating these tips, plus safe and effective nutrients into your daily routine, you can help fight insulin imbalance and avoid declining health by keeping your blood sugar problems at bay.</p>
<p>Here are several nutrients to consider:</p>
<p>Gymnema Sylvestre—Nicknamed the &#8220;sugar destroyer,&#8221; this amazing nutrient has been shown to help regulate fasting blood sugar levels and improve blood sugar. Plus, it can also help put an end to food cravings and enhance your insulin sensitivity so your cells are able to accept the glucose to fuel your body. It&#8217;s also been shown to actually help repair and grow new pancreatic beta cells.</p>
<p>Chromium—Known as the &#8220;insulin booster&#8221; this powerful nutrient helps bind insulin to the cells for more energy, increases the number of insulin receptors in your body, as well as activates them to boost insulin sensitivity and keep blood sugar levels stable and in the normal range. Patients taking chromium have reported an 85 percent improvement in frequent urination, fatigue and excessive thirst.</p>
<p>Methylhydroxychalcone polymer (MHCP)—Found in the common apple pie spice &#8220;cinnamon,&#8221; this accidental discovery has proven to mimic insulin and help transport glucose to your cells, activate insulin receptors to allow glucose through the &#8220;gates&#8221; of your cells, plus it works synergistically with insulin in cells boosting you when you need it most, but not overloading you when you don&#8217;t. Studies have shown patients taking MHCP experienced fewer blood sugar spikes after eating, decreased LDL (bad) cholesterol levels and lowered blood glucose levels.</p>
<p>These are just a few of the scientifically proven nutrients that can offer protection from blood sugar imbalance.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The  symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis can cause uncomfortable aches and pains in  your joints. But be aware that what you might consider random flare-ups could result  in permanent damage to your knees, hips, hands and feet!</p>
<p>New  information found in the <em>Archives of  Internal Medicine</em>, the <em>Journal of  Rheumatology</em> and several leading textbooks on rheumatoid arthritis, suggests  patients should work to prevent lasting damage and manage pain. </p>
<p>Doctors  indicate that during arthritis flare-ups, disease-fighting white blood cells  mistakenly enter your joints. These white blood cells produce chemicals  designed to destroy diseased microorganisms. The problem is, these disease  particles aren’t in your joints! This means healthy joint tissue suffers damage  instead!</p>
<p>Over  time, the tissue damage destroys your cartilage, or the cushioning between your  joints. And the longer your flare-ups go on, the more damage is done.</p>
<p>Doctors  agree the best prevention is early detection. This can help protect you from  permanent joint damage. Also, studies show that patients who consistently seek  regular medical treatment several times a year fare better than those who do  not. </p>
<p>As part of your joint protection plan—be sure to  exercise and get plenty of rest. Your doctor can help you develop an exercise  program to help ease your symptoms—and help you enjoy smooth, fluid movements again!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Discovered in the 1920s, omega-3 fatty acids play a key role in protecting your brain, heart, nerves, eyes and digestive system. But to achieve optimum results, you must balance omega-3s with omega-6 fatty acids. Numerous medical studies point to the omega-balancing power of a tiny shrimp-like crustacean called krill. In this article, find out how to reach your health goals with this all-natural nutrient found in the chilly waters of Antarctica...]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For  optimum health we need powerful anti-inflammatory agents known as omega-3 fatty  acids. Hundreds of scientific studies have clinically proven the remarkable health  benefits of omega-3 fatty acids found in all-natural krill oil. </p>
<p>Boosting  your intake of healthy omega-3 fats can help you soothe your minor joint aches&#8230;  balance blood sugar levels&#8230; promote healthy heart and brain  function&#8230; support healthy cholesterol levels&#8230; promote healthy blood pressure&#8230;  and much more!</p>
<p>Omega  fatty acids are essential for your diet&mdash;and should be supplemented since your  body doesn&#8217;t produce them on its own. </p>
<p>But don&#8217;t think ALL omega fats are good for your health. You  should also know that omega-3 fats have a powerful and dangerous companion&mdash;the <strong>omega-6 fatty acids</strong>. And as Americans,  we consume 10 times MORE omega-6 than omega-3! </p>
<p>By balancing the effects of omega-3 and omega-6, you can  experience the benefits of a healthy body and mind. Some essential roles of fat in your body include: </p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Brain</strong>&mdash;fats compose 60 percent of the brain and help  promote learning and memory retention, and even help regulate your moods.</li>
<li><strong>Heart</strong>&mdash;your heart gets 60 percent of its energy from  burning fats. Certain fats help keep your ticker&#8217;s regular pace! </li>
<li><strong>Nerves</strong>&mdash;the protective cover that insulates and  protects the nerves is made of fat. This helps isolate the electrical impulses  and helps speed their transmission.</li>
<li><strong>Eyes</strong>&mdash;fats are essential to proper eye function, and  are a key component of the rods and cones. </li>
<li><strong>Digestion</strong>&mdash;fats in a meal slow down digestion to help your  body absorb nutrients. Your body can absorb vitamins A, D, E and K only if fat  is present.&nbsp;And fats in a meal give you energy and help you feel satisfied  longer.</li>
<li><strong>Skin and hair</strong>&mdash;Soft skin and hair depend on having enough  healthy fat in your diet. </li>
</ul>
<p>You see how important omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids are for your complete health, and the best source for these essential nutrients is all-natural krill oil. This miracle oil, derived from tiny shrimp-like ocean creatures, is far more superior that regular fish oil supplements, which can be loaded with harmful toxins.</p>
<p>Krill oil can help regulate your blood pressure, lower your cholesterol levels, relieve inflammation in your joints and increase your mental well-being, too. All without the worries and dangers associated with prescription drugs.</p>
<p>So, to ensure your health well into your 70s, 80s  or 90s, get the right balance of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids only found in  all-natural krill oil!</p>
