Maroon explains that during the last 200 years we as a culture have experienced great strides in medicine, nutrition, accident prevention and infection control. However, there are a great many more chemicals, toxins and pesticides in our environment, as well.

These foreign invaders can be responsible for the death of our body’s trillions of disease-fighting cells. Free radical damage and self-destruction mean the death of the cell, and ultimately the end of human life.

This is why the nutrient resveratrol is so vital to the extension of your life expectancy. Resveratrol can neutralize free radicals to protect your cells, therefore extending cell life—and your life— by activating the survival gene. This gene can then increase the strength of your cells—especially your brain cells—so you can extend your life expectancy and sharpen your mind because you won’t have lost those essential cells.  

For those of you worried about your outward appearance of aging, resveratrol can also help your skin look and feel younger. Resveratrol blocks free radical damage to all your cells—including your skin cells. Then by increasing the cells’ ability to repair themselves when damage does occur, your skin will appear more vibrant. Environmental factors such as chemicals, toxins, pollution and tobacco smoke are just a few elements your skin can be exposed to every day.

This is why daily supplementation of resveratrol is essential—your cells are constantly bombarded by damaging free radicals and continue to die off on a daily basis. But with the miracle antioxidant protection from resveratrol your skin may begin to lose the appearance of discoloration, fine lines and wrinkles caused by cell damage and destruction.

Acid overload can result in decreased circulation… heart problems… loss of libido… irregular bowels… painful muscles and joints… respiratory problems… and possible abnormal cell growth.

Is an acid overload behind YOUR symptoms? Simply answer these questions:

• Do you suffer from high blood pressure, a failing heart or other heart problems?
• Do your joints feel stiff, inflamed and painful or do you suffer from bone loss?
• Has a doctor told you that your blood sugar levels are too high or too low?
• Are you finding it more difficult to get a good night’s sleep?
• Do you suffer from constant fatigue or energy crashes after meals?
• Do you frequently endure cramping, constipation, heartburn or other digestive problems?
• Do you sometimes feel depressed, negative and cranky?
• Have you noticed that your ability to solve problems or to remember details is lacking?
• Do you sometimes suffer from shortness of breath or other lung problems?
• Do you experience pain, numbness or tingling in your hands, legs or feet?
• Is your skin or hair aging more rapidly than they should?
• Do you notice that your eyesight or hearing is fading at an alarming rate?
• Do you suffer from low sexual desire or performance problems?
• Do you contract infections more often with each passing year?

If you answered “YES” to one or more of these questions, there’s a good chance that you may be suffering from acid/alkaline imbalance. In addition to the best nutrition you can consume, the next step is to supplement with alkalinizing minerals.

According to world-renowned British physician Dennis Burkitt, M.D., African tribesmen experienced a rapid bowel transit time of four to six hours compared to 60 to 90 hours for people eating a traditional Western diet. Burkitt discovered the tribesman consistently experienced:

• Healthier bowels
• Stronger hearts
• Powerful digestive systems
• Regular elimination

What’s their secret for regular and healthy bowel movements? Fiber! According the American Dietetic Association, most Americans consume only 12 to 17 grams of fiber daily but the recommended dose is 75 grams.

Fiber is either soluble or insoluble, and both promote a whistle-clean colon and digestive system. While insoluble fiber moves bulk through your intestines and pushes out toxins with your waste… soluble fiber helps maintain healthy cholesterol levels and boost cardiovascular health.

So how can you boost your fiber intake? Try to increase your consumption of fiber-rich foods like fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts, beans and whole grains. Also look for quality supplements containing cascara sagrada, senna leaf extract, black walnut bark and slippery elm bark.

In fact, medical science proves that sex may stimulate your brain cells… provide protection from age-related mental decline… spark your enthusiasm for life… energize your body… burn extra calories and melt fat… and bathe your cells with life-giving oxygen. Plus, sexual activity can boost your immune system, reduce stress, lift your mood, ease your headaches, relieve your muscles aches and improve your prostate health.

One of the main nutrients needed for peak performance is L-arginine. This simple amino acid is found in meat, eggs, milk, cheese and other high-protein foods. L-arginine works by stimulating the production of a crucial compound in your body called nitric oxide. Nitric oxide dilates your blood vessels, which promotes blood flow to your genital tissues and helps them become fully engorged. This dramatically increases your sensitivity and enjoyment.

A study conducted at the University of Alberta in Canada shows that rising nitric oxide levels can help lower your blood pressure levels by relaxing your arteries and helping restore their elasticity. This may help with the sexual dysfunction you experience by boosting your circulation and lowering your blood pressure levels.

L-arginine and other nutrients and herbs like maca, rhodiola rosea, di-indole methane (DIM), damiana powder and Chinese mushrooms can all help intensify your desire, maximize your performance and supercharge your lasting sexual power. Start having great sex now for not only a more intimate relationship, but increased energy, a stronger immune system and protection for your aging heart.

You need to reverse the acid overload and return to an alkaline state to avoid these sure signs of body imbalance:

• Poor circulation
• Joint and muscle pain
• Irregular heartbeats
• Weak veins and arteries
• Low energy and fatigue
• Premature aging

To help eliminate food chemicals, additives and toxins, plus the everyday toxic invaders from the air you breathe and the water you drink… you need to maintain an optimum pH alkaline/acid balance of 7 to 7.5 on a scale of 1 to 14. This pH scale measures 1 as being highly acidic, while 14 is highly alkaline. By reaching this pH balance goal, you can avoid excess acid that can cause damage to your colon, lungs, kidneys and skin, plus you can boost your immunity so you virtually never get sick!

You can also increase the amount of alkaline-forming foods you consume. These foods can help restore your pH balance, as well. Try to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, plus high-fiber foods and whole grains. Avoid dairy, sugary snack foods and processed items. By evaluating the food you put into your body, you can help maintain a healthy pH balance and avoid the ravages of old age and sickness.

Many Americans are looking to trim the fat from their diet, but when they do, they may trim ALL the fat instead. This can cause you to miss out on absorption of some essential nutrients.

Research conducted by Iowa State University determined that when you eat vegetables such as tomatoes you absorb more of the antioxidants lycopene and beta-carotene when a little “good” fat is included.

In this study, participants ate a tomato salad with different types of dressings ranging from fat-free variations to Italian blends. After blood samples were analyzed, researchers indicated that those participants who consumed salads with fat-free or low-fat dressings didn’t absorb very much of the antioxidants in the tomatoes. Those who ate the more fat-laden dressings had higher levels of lycopene and beta-carotene.

These two nutrients are carotenoids, or the pigments that give fruits and vegetables their red, yellow or orange color. Carotenoids can also be found in dark leafy greens like spinach, and help convert vitamin A for use in your body. As antioxidants, lycopene and beta-carotene help destroy free radicals that can cause damage to your cells and organs.

Besides tomatoes, lycopene and beta-carotene can be found in grapefruit, carrots, watermelon, various peppers, lettuces, kale and mustard greens. Why not drizzle a little olive oil on your foods to help boost your absorption of the nutrients contained in these healthy fruits and vegetables?

Some regular fish oil supplements claim to help boost your health and reduce inflammation, but are you aware of the risks associated with inferior ingredients?

First of all, most fish oil supplements are produced from farm-raised fish, which don’t feed on the natural foods that help them create an abundance of brain- and heart-saving nutrients. Plus, they are given large doses of antibiotics to treat diseases that develop in such crowded groups of fish. This means a higher risk of exposure to toxins like mercury and polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB).

Another problem involves the way these regular fish are processed. To help eliminate the impurities in the fish, manufacturers use a distillation process that requires extremely high temperatures. This removes some contaminants, but also removes the good nutrients, too! 

Regular fish oil supplements also don’t contain the two most critical nutrients associated with the health benefits of fish oil—omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA. To get to these two essential ingredients, your body has to break down the triglycerides that contain them. With inferior doses of fish oil, this process causes you to lose as much as 50 percent of DHA and EPA since your body can’t get to them efficiently!

However, with all-natural krill oil, which is harvested from the chilly waters off Antarctica, you can be sure that you are receiving the most potent form of the oil that is free of toxins and antibiotics. Krill oil isn’t distilled to remove essential nutrients and it has ample amounts of DHA and EPA that you just can’t find in ordinary fish oil.

This is because the DHA and EPA aren’t locked into triglycerides… meaning your body doesn’t have to burn through energy to get to them. These two nutrients are attached to memory-boosting molecules called phospholipids for maximum absorption.

So, if you’re concerned about lowering your blood pressure, reducing your bad cholesterol levels, relieving your aching joints and improving your memory, get nature’s most potent anti-inflammatory—krill oil.

It’s packed with healing omega-3 fatty acids and protective antioxidants!

• Memory loss and “senior moments”
• Depression and mood swings
• Sleepless nights
• Unwanted weight gain―especially belly fat

• Male breasts or “man boobs”

You might not know it, but estrogen dominance, or andropause, is a major health hazard for men over 40. This hormone imbalance occurs when your body builds up too much estrogen and xenoestrogens—which are synthetic forms of the hormone.

There are three main reasons why these unpleasant symptoms of male menopause may be tormenting you: aging, environmental pollutants and your diet.

HingHau Tsang. M.D., said these phony hormones are offshoots of products such as spermacides, detergent, plastics, plastic bottles, pesticides, herbicides, personal care products and lacquers.

Tsang also said commercially raised beef, chicken and pork, as well as birth control pills and canned foods, contain xenoestrogens.

John R. Lee, M.D., an expert in natural progesterone therapy, thinks that significant amounts of estrogen are the main cause of prostate enlargement AND prostate cancer! And estrogen dominance can also lead to erectile dysfunction (ED).

So whether you call it estrogen dominance, “male menopause” or andropause—estrogen overload is a real health hazard.

So what causes the plaque to deposit within the walls of your blood vessels? It could be the result of several reasons such as high blood pressure levels, poor diet, prescription drugs, high cholesterol levels or even cigarette smoke.

But now scientific studies show that an amazing amino acid has proven to reduce plaque deposits… restore healthy blood flow… and help rebuild strong arteries. Simply known as EDTA (ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid), this natural substance attaches itself to harmful plaque and toxins. Since your body recognizes EDTA as a foreign substance, it is quickly eliminated from the body—carrying with it all the heavy metals and plaque deposits.

Not only does EDTA help eliminate the plaque that can cause a fatal heart or brain disaster, it helps flush toxins and chemicals from your system, too. Think that you aren’t exposed to heavy metals or toxins? Check out these common sources of lead poisoning from household and industrial sources:

• Leaded house paint
• Lead-arsenate pesticides
• Motor vehicle exhaust
• Car batteries
• Mascara
• Painted children’s toys
• Canned food and juices
• Newsprint
• Hair dyes
• And thousands of other everyday items!

That’s why it’s important to include oral EDTA in your daily regimen in order to help improve your cholesterol, blood pressure, poor circulation and eliminate your toxic exposure.

In 2002, the Women’s Health Initiative revealed that post- and premenopausal women were at greater risk for heart attacks if they were using synthetic HRT. This therapy has also been linked to an increased risk of cancer, stroke, blood clots, fragile bones and dementia. This led to a sharp decline in HRT to help treat the symptoms of menopause.

Due to this decline, the number of women suffering from heart attacks has also dropped, according to the journal Medical Care. The study indicates that discontinued HRT resulted in 25 fewer heart attacks per 10,000 people a year.

Other safe and natural alternatives to help ease the symptoms of menopause include:

• Consuming a diet rich in fruits and vegetables
• Using compounded natural hormone creams
• Increasing your intake of calcium and vitamin D
• Exercising at least 30 minutes a day, three times a week
• Decrease your alcohol intake
