			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Millions of Americans rely on  certain products and remedies to help boost their heart health. But troublesome  side effects from some of these products cause as many as three-quarters of people  to look for alternatives. In his book, <em>The Hidden Truth about Cholesterol-Lowering Drugs</em>, former pharmaceutical  company chemist Shane Ellison says the first step toward supporting heart health is  &ldquo;engaging in healthy lifestyle habits, not popping pills.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Ellison recommends adopting these daily habits:</p>
<ul>
<li>Abstain from sugar and artificial sweeteners</li>
<li>Quit smoking&mdash;or don&rsquo;t start</li>
<li>Exercise moderately</li>
<li>Eat more leafy, green vegetables every day</li>
<li>Drink more purified water</li>
<li>Limit milk consumption to moderate amounts of milk</li>
<li>Eat walnuts, coconut oil or freshwater salmon for omega-3 fatty  acids</li>
<li>Minimize refined grains</li>
<li>Lose body fat</li>
</ul>
<p>These  all can help boost heart health and circulation, which can be further promoted  with the addition of the enzyme nattokinase to your daily regimen. Discovered  by the Japanese more than 1,000 years ago, this enzyme can help safely and  naturally eliminate protein buildup&mdash;and support healthy blood flow from head to  toe. In one scientific study, 173 coagulated blood samples were exposed to  various nutrients, but results indicate nattokinase was the only nutrient able to  successfully break down the clotted blood. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<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 urethra&hellip; and protecting sperm from the acidic environment of the vagina  and cervix.</p>
<p>For optimal  prostate health, research shows that the berries from the saw palmetto plant  can help maintain healthy urine flow and maintain prostate structure. In fact,  this herb might reduce your chances of age-related male pattern baldness or  even mild acne. So how does it work? Saw palmetto helps prevent testosterone  from changing to a harmful form called dihydrotestosterone (DHT). It also  blocks the effects of certain hormone receptors&mdash;which can promote normal cell  growth.</p>
<p>Other helpful  nutrients that have been shown to promote prostate health include red clover,  pumpkin seed, lycopene, zinc and selenium.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some  inflammation in your body is good&mdash;to help support your immune system. But when  your joints are stiff and you ache from head to toe&mdash;it could be a sign that  you&rsquo;re experiencing less-than-optimal joint, bone and muscle health. </p>
<p>A  new study of people with joint health issues shows a key enzyme called  activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) could be produced within the joint  itself. Researchers hope to develop future therapies to stop the production of  this enzyme before it can contribute to an unbalanced inflammatory response. Results  were published in <em>PLoS Medicine</em>.</p>
<p>New  solutions are needed because current options intended to address joint health may  be linked to an increase in various unwanted side effects. </p>
<p>But  you don&rsquo;t have to wait for relief&mdash;not when you can experience the effects of  BioCell Collagen II<sup>&reg;</sup>. This is one of the most advanced natural forms of  collagen available.</p>
<p>This  unique combination of nutrients includes:</p>
<ul>
<li>Hydrolyzed  collagen type II&mdash;the main building block of joint cartilage.</li>
<li>Chondroitin  sulfate&mdash;a powerful inflammation-balancing agent and cartilage protector.</li>
<li>Hyaluronic  acid&mdash;one of the most essential nutrients needed to provide relief and  lubrication for your joints.</li>
</ul>
<p>So do something about  it now and get all-natural relief for your joints, bones and muscles.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Most  people may not realize that the digestive process actually starts in your mouth  when enzymes in your saliva start to break down food particles into their  component nutrients for optimum absorption. The food is then swallowed and  carried by the esophagus to the stomach. However, if you don&rsquo;t have balanced  levels of hydrochloric acid (HCl) to properly digest your food, then you could  suffer from annoying digestive discomfort.</p>
<p>Low  levels of HCl could lead to intermittent heartburn, indigestion, bloating,  diarrhea, upset stomach, embarrassing gas and occasional constipation. And  taking typical antacids and other popular acid remedies only lower the acid  levels in your stomach temporarily. HCl is necessary for digestion. By reducing  stomach acid, these products greatly reduce your stomach&rsquo;s ability to digest  food.. </p>
<p>According  to <em>Better Nutrition</em> magazine, you need beneficial HCl stomach acid for two reasons:</p>
<ol start="1" type="1">
<li>You need acid in your stomach because it helps maintain healthy bacterial balance and stimulates enzymes to break down the foods you eat. </li>
<li>If you reduce the acidity in       the stomach, your body will automatically start producing more acid.</li>
</ol>
<p>Plus,  many antacids contain an abundance of minerals such as sodium bicarbonate,  calcium carbonate, magnesium and aluminum, which can cause problems for people over 50 when  taken in high amounts. </p>
<p>To ensure maximum  digestive health, be sure to include HCl in your dietary regimen, plus other  beneficial enzymes and nutrients such as L-glutamic acid, amylases, proteases  and lipases.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Krill  is a shrimp-like crustacean that abounds in the ocean. The reason krill oil is  more effective than other marine oils is the amount of omega-3 fatty acids,  phospholipids and extremely potent antioxidants it contains. It&rsquo;s the unique  combination of these essential ingredients that provide the greatest health  benefits. </p>
<p>  Omega-3 fatty acids can help reduce the symptoms associated  with joint pain, high cholesterol levels, high blood pressure, poor memory and  mood swings. Hundreds of scientific studies have clinically proven the benefits  of omega-3 fatty acids found in all-natural krill oil. Here are just a few of  the results&hellip;</p>
<p>  Canadian researchers from the University of Montreal found  that omega-3s derived from krill oil significantly reduced several key risk  factors for high cholesterol. </p>
<p>  In Japan, the incidence of cerebral brain problems has been  found to be inversely proportional to blood levels of omega-3s. This means the  higher the omega-3s, the less risk of brain problems. And the levels of  omega-3s in the Japanese are generally 10 times higher than in Americans,  thanks to a diet high in fish and krill.</p>
<p>  A review published by the United States Agency for  Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) evaluated the impact of omega-3 fats on  age-related memory loss. The report found that consuming omega-3 fats  contributed to a significant reduction in age-related memory loss.</p>
<p>  Boosting your intake of healthy omega-3 fats can help  you soothe your minor joint aches&hellip; promote healthy blood sugar balance&hellip; promote  healthy heart and brain function&hellip; improve memory and &ldquo;senior moments&rdquo;&hellip; support  healthy cholesterol levels&hellip; promote healthy blood pressure&hellip; provide healthy  support for PMS symptoms&hellip; and promote healthy mood levels. </p>
<p>Omega-3 fatty acids are essential for your diet&mdash;and  should be supplemented since your body doesn&rsquo;t produce them on its own. </p>

		<description><![CDATA[Alzheimer&#8217;s disease is&#160;NOT a normal part of aging,&#160;but the  risk of getting it&#160;does increase with age. For&#160;example, researchers  estimate&#160;that about 3 percent of men&#160;and women between ages  65&#160;and 74 have Alzheimer&#8217;s&#160;disease. This increases to&#160;10 percent  by age 80 and nearly&#160;30 percent for those ages 85 and&#160;older. Early  symptoms differ&#160;by individual, as well as&#160;day-to-day. ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Alzheimer&rsquo;s disease is&nbsp;NOT a normal part of aging,&nbsp;but  the risk of getting it&nbsp;does increase with age. For&nbsp;example,  researchers estimate&nbsp;that about 3 percent of men&nbsp;and women between  ages 65&nbsp;and 74 have Alzheimer&rsquo;s&nbsp;disease. This increases to&nbsp;10  percent by age 80 and nearly&nbsp;30 percent for those ages 85 and&nbsp;older.</p>
<p>Early symptoms differ&nbsp;by individual, as well  as&nbsp;day-to-day. Some signs may&nbsp;be so subtle that they may&nbsp;go  unnoticed by family or&nbsp;friends, while others will&nbsp;become increasingly  obvious&nbsp;over time. To help determine&nbsp;if you or a loved one&nbsp;has  early warning signs of memory loss, the Alzheimer&rsquo;s&nbsp;Association has  developed&nbsp;the following checklist of&nbsp;10 common symptoms:</p>
<ul>
<li>Memory loss </li>
<li>Difficulty performing&nbsp;familiar tasks </li>
<li>Problems with language </li>
<li>Disorientation to time&nbsp;and place </li>
<li>Poor or decreased judgment </li>
<li>Problems with abstract&nbsp;thinking </li>
<li>Misplacing things </li>
<li>Changes in mood or&nbsp;behavior </li>
<li>Changes in personality </li>
<li>Loss of initiative </li>
</ul>
<p>But there are effective supplements to help preserve  your memory for decades to come. Phosphatidylserine (PS) is a naturally occurring&nbsp;phospholipid  nutrient. It is&nbsp;essential for optimum cell functions in your body, but  it&nbsp;is most concentrated in the&nbsp;brain, making up nearly&nbsp;70  percent of our brain cell membranes.&nbsp; </p>
<p>  As medical research suggests, PS&nbsp;supplementation can  help&nbsp;individuals maintain membrane&nbsp;integrity and  youthful&nbsp;synaptic activity. By raising&nbsp;the PS supply to the brain, you  can&nbsp;boost brain power, mood,&nbsp;learning ability, the ability  to&nbsp;tolerate stress and much&nbsp;more.</p>

However, by maintaining the correct balance of healthy digestive acids and enzymes in your stomach, you can toss out those purple pills and antacid tablets once-and-for-all. ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For the more than 100 million Americans who suffer from the symptoms of occasional heartburn and stomach problems, one would guess that most people think acid is a bad thing associated with pain, discomfort and recurring heartburn. However, by maintaining the correct balance of healthy digestive acids and enzymes in your stomach, you can toss out those purple pills and antacid tablets once-and-for-all. </p>
<p>Acid-suppressing drugs rake in more than $17 billion a year in profits. The drugs, called proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), are intended to lower the acid levels in your stomach. But new studies show that they are actually doing nothing to fix your underlying reflux problem. In fact, these PPIs are wiping out levels of the &ldquo;good&rdquo; acid in your stomach&mdash;hydrochloric acid (HCl). Instead of ample amounts of HCl needed for the proper breakdown and digestion of food, your esophagus now gets covered in bile&mdash;an alkaline, gastric fluid that can even be more dangerous than acid. </p>
<p>Low levels of HCl could cause you to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Experience stomach and digestive pain and discomfort</li>
<li>Anxiety and stress over food choices</li>
<li>Experience bloating and embarrassing gas</li>
<li>Make several unplanned trips to and from the bathroom each day</li>
<li>Avoid meals, parties and other social settings</li>
<li>Lose sleep at night and struggle through the day </li>
</ul>
<p>PPIs only temporarily ease your symptoms of reflux and in the aftermath can cause more damage than repair. A study in the <em>Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery</em> examined gastric reflux patients before and after taking Prilosec<sup>&reg;</sup>. The researchers found that using the prescription PPI did not change the frequency of reflux occurrences. It only alternated the chemical makeup of the stomach content from acid to alkaline.</p>
<p>Please don&rsquo;t continue to fall for this enormous hoax from the medical establishment. Instead, look into natural supplementation to help keep healthy levels of HCl in your stomach so you can safely and naturally break down and digest your foods for maximum absorption of key vitamins, minerals and nutrients.<strong></strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A  vitamin D deficiency can not only lead to decreased bone strength, but  according to The Vitamin D Council, serious medical problems could arise. Studies  show that ensuring optimal and adequate levels of this vitamin may promote  heart and cardiovascular health, support strong immunity, enhance mood and  mental health, promote strong and healthy muscle function and maintain healthy  cellular function.<br />
&nbsp; <br />
In  fact, vitamin D is so important for the body that it helps maximize the use of  other key nutrients including magnesium, zinc, vitamin K2, boron and vitamin A.  However, obtaining and supplementing with the right kind of vitamin D can  produce the greatest benefits for your health, as well. </p>
<p>Most  people may not even realize that they are deficient in key vitamins and minerals  until it&rsquo;s too late. In fact, new research from medical professionals indicates  that increased vitamin D intake, especially in the form of vitamin D3, may  contribute to improved bone strength, according to the Council. </p>
<p>So  how can individuals help support optimal bone mineral levels and enhance their  bone strength, while preventing this from becoming a continuing cause of their  deteriorating health? Most experts agree that adding more vitamin D to the diet  through foods and/or supplements can greatly increase the chances of improving  bone strength. </p>
<p>Individuals  who believe they may be vitamin D deficient can request blood tests that will  determine how much is needed to regulate their individual levels. When it comes  to vitamin D, a person shouldn&rsquo;t have too much or too little in their body.  &ldquo;Here is a situation where getting the supplement amount &lsquo;just right&rsquo; counts,&rdquo;  stated Kate Lindemann, Ph.D., a retired college professor who actually enhanced  her bone density through various natural methods and supplementation.</p>
<p>The  Council states that vitamin D3, or cholecalciferol, is the most potent form of  the nutrient and has strong health-promoting properties. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It  may surprise you to know that more than 98 percent of the flu viruses  circulating in the United States have been found to be resistant to antiviral  drugs. However, if you naturally boost and strengthen your immune system  year-round, then you will be able to defend your body from flu viruses,  seasonal bugs and other immunity-decreasing ailments.</p>
<p>Your  immune system is your body&#8217;s defense against infectious organisms and invaders.  It&#8217;s made up of a complicated network of cells, tissues and organs that work  together to protect your body. White blood cells&mdash;also  called &quot;leukocytes&quot;&mdash;have the &quot;pac-man&quot; kind of ability to  travel throughout your body and devour bacteria, viruses and toxins that cause  disease. The more healthy white blood cells there are in your body&mdash;the stronger  your immune system!</p>
<p>  You  have two basic types of leukocytes. Phagocytes are cells  that chew up invading organisms. Lymphocytes are cells  that allow your body to remember and recognize previous invaders and help the  body destroy them.</p>
<p>  Antibodies are specialized proteins that  recognize and trap bacteria, viruses and toxins. Once these foreign substances  are &quot;tagged,&quot; your body&#8217;s T cells&mdash;also  called &quot;killer cells&quot;&mdash;can easily destroy them. </p>
<p>  So  why do we continue to get sick? Because your immune system fails to go into  action fast enough and your immune system gets beaten down and worn out. This  is mainly due to a poor diet&hellip; stress&hellip; environmental pollutants&hellip; overuse of  prescription and over-the-counter meds&hellip; and global living resulting in  overcrowding.</p>
<p>But  there are several natural nutrients that can boost your body&rsquo;s defenses to ward  off allergies, colds, sinus problems, invading flu germs and more. With a  powerful combination of astragalus, scute, Reishi mushroom, andrographis and  isatis, you can protect your delicate immune system and fight back against your  environment&rsquo;s worst seasonal cold bugs. </p>
