Don’t Grow Old Before Your Time

CALL 763-537-1159

No one wants to feel old before their time with declining health, muscle loss, increased body fat, decreased energy, low sex drive and foggy thinking. Age may be inevitable but aging is not! Aging is the slow deterioration of cellular vitality, primarily controlled by our lifestyle choices and genetics. This degenerative process accounts for 90% of all adult illness. However, aging does not occur uniformly in individuals and the symptoms of aging can appear early in life to steal its joy and wonder. Aging problems usually become apparent to us in our 50s and 60s. But early aging can appear even in our 30s and 40s. The first signs are the all too common symptoms of fatigue, stiffness, chronic muscle and joint pain, loss of muscle mass, poor digestion, recurrent infections, insomnia, mood and memory problems. These conditions are all related to a loss of cell vitality. What are the primary causes of this loss of vitality and early aging? On the top is our Standard American Diet or SAD which is the overconsumption of calories and the under consumption of nutrients, it is a driving force of premature aging. Add to that the exposure to 4 million synthetic compounds and over 89,000 industrial chemicals we have put into our environment. Presently, five of the most toxic chemicals known are found in everyone and are linked to hormone disruption, oxidative stress, and chronic inflammation. Our SAD diets and chemical exposure rob us of our vitality by disrupting the energy producing power plants of our cells the mitochondria, thus accelerating the aging process. Mitochondria are little bio-engines that take calories from your food and burn them for energy. When they are working well you have all the energy you need throughout the day. Energy to digest, move muscles, think clearly, and generally experience a vibrant mood. When they are not working efficiently, it leads to and you feel the symptoms of premature aging and ill health. Early aging with hormonal imbalance can also inhibit the physical, sexual and cognitive function in both men and women. This process begins to accelerate after the age of 50. In males the notable symptoms are increased abdominal fat and decreased muscle mass, the hallmarks of male hormone balance or Andropause. For women the most bothersome problems can be the vasomotor symptoms of hot flushes and night sweats of perimenopause, also caused by hormonal imbalance. Hormonal imbalance in both sexes will cause multiple symptoms associated with premature aging including loss of libido, depression, anxiety, difficulty concentrating, a decrease of facial hair in men and an increase in women. If this all sounds a little too familiar and discouraging fear not, there is something you can do to avoid growing old before your time! Recent advancements in science have found specific biomarkers in the blood and urine that can let us know specifically what is causing premature aging and health problems. With this knowledge a specific program of diet, nutrition, metabolic support and exercise can be developed specifically for you. Making positive dietary, nutritional and lifestyle changes can allow you to lead a healthy, vital and happy life. PS: There are no drugs existing today that can do this for you. Tired of suffering and feeling weak and confused? Take action! Start eating better. Consume more fruits vegetables, seeds, nuts, and 100% whole grains. Get off the couch! Start moving around more! Dust off that old exercise bike or just walk. If you really want to get serious, find a doctor who is knowledgeable in the Biomarkers of aging, and can utilize them to optomize a health and aging program specific for you. You can improve you health, happiness and your life. It’s not simple but it’s real and most importantly, it’s for you and those you love. Feel free to call our office at 763-862-7100 to learn more.

Keep your “ears” open — It’s time to learn more about corn, a crop grown on every continent of the world except Antarctica. • When we speak of a “bushel” of corn, we are talking about 56 pounds (25.4 kg). This weight is after the husks and cobs have been removed and only the shelled corn remains. There are about 1,300 kernels in one pound (454 g). During the 1930s, when farmers were harvesting by hand, their yield was about 100 bushels per day. Today, a combine accomplishes in less than seven minutes what it took the famer all day to do. The USDA tells us that in 1965, the yield per acre was about 74 bushels. Today, that figure is 154 bushels per acre. • Inside each corn plant there are two flowering parts or “inflorescences.” The male part is the tassel, and the silks are the female parts. Each tassel releases as many as five million grains of pollen. The silks complete the fertilization process by transporting the pollen to the developing ear of corn, and each spot on the cob becomes a kernel. There is one piece of silk for each

kernel. Every ear of corn has an even number of rows, anywhere from eight to about 22 rows. The average ear contains 800 kernels arranged in 16 rows. Why are there ears of corn with missing kernels? It’s likely because it was a hot summer, and the silks dried out before all the cob’s sites were fertilized. An average corn plant growing under optimal conditions will be about 8 feet (2.4 meters) tall by the middle of the summer. Its roots will reach an amazing 6.5 feet (2 meters) into the ground. Ever year, one U.S. farmer will provide food for 129 people. Half of the U.S. supply comes from only four states — Iowa, Illinois, Nebraska and Minnesota. About 55 percent of Iowa’s corn is exported to foreign markets. The state of Iowa grows more corn than any other U.S. state, producing more in a year than most countries. In fact, Iowa, with an area of 56,276 square miles (145,754 sq. km), grows three times as much corn as Argentina, whose area is 1,068,296 square miles (2,766,890 sq. km). Most of Iowa’s corn won’t ever

make it to the dinner table. As little as 0.04 percent grown is sweet corn, just about 4,900 acres out of a whopping 11.9 million acres. The largest portion is used for animal feed. One bushel of corn will eventually yield 5.6 pounds (2.54 kg) of beef at the store, or 13 pounds (5.9 kg) of pork, or 32 pounds (14.5 kg) of chicken. As with all fresh produce, sweet corn tastes much better the sooner it is eaten after being picked. After just six hours at room temperature after picking, it loses up to 40 percent of its sugar content. And don’t husk it until you’re ready to eat it. Do you know the difference between white and yellow corn? White is smaller and sweeter than yellow. If you’re having a bowl of corn flakes for breakfast, those flakes are only about 8 percent corn. Edward “Cookie” Jarvis travels around America competing in speed-eating competitions and holds a number of records. Cookie has set a record by devouring 33 ½ ears of corn in just 12 minutes. He has even been featured in a Discovery Channel documentary entitled “Gut Busters.

� It was venerable American newscaster David Brinkley who made the following sage observation: “The one function TV news performs very well is that when there is no news, we give it to you with the same emphasis as if there were.� � According to Guinness World Records, the oldest cat in the world was named Creme Puff and lived to the ripe old age of 38 years and three days. � If you do much printing, you might not be surprised to learn that if you figure out the cost by volume, the average ink cartridge for a printer costs seven times more than Dom Perignon champagne. � On an average day in the United States, 90 million cans of beer will be consumed. � If you’re planning a summer jaunt to Atlantic City, N.J., this year, you might want to stop by Margate City, just a couple of miles south of the gambling mecca. While you’re there you can see the oldest zoomorphic structure in the United States. Lucy the Elephant, built in 1882 by James V. Lafferty, is 65 feet tall and has served at various times as a cottage, a business office, a restaurant and a tavern. In 1976 it was designated a National Historic Landmark. � It was United Airlines that hired the first stewardesses for its flights, back in 1930. In addition to being attractive and charming, stewardesses had to be registered nurses. � Those who study such things say that in ancient Mesopotamia, it was not unusual for those of the wealthy classes to crush semiprecious stones and adhere the powder to their lips. � It was American educator Laurence J. Peter who made the following sage observation: “An economist is an expert who will know tomorrow why the things he predicted yesterday didn’t happen today.� � Ever wonder why it’s called the silver screen? In the early days of the cinema industry, the projection screens were embedded with real silver to enhance the reflective nature of the surface. � Greyhounds have better eyesight than any other breed of dog. � Again those who study such things say that Americans drink more carbonated beverages every year than coffee, tea, sports drinks and juice combined. � The plant formally known as titan arum produces the largest cluster of flowers in the world, sometimes reaching more than 10 feet in height. What’s perhaps even more notable, though, is its odor: The plant gives off a strong smell that is most often compared to that of a decomposing animal. Hence the plant’s more common name, the corpse flower.

• In April of 1973, Martin Cooper stood on the streets of New York City and did something no one had ever done before. He placed a call from a portable cellular phone! Cooper, the general manager of Motorola’s Communications Division, called his competitor at AT&T labs using a 30-ounce (850-g) brick-like phone. Compare this with today’s phone at about 3 ounces (85 g). The process of bringing portable cell phones to the consumer market took 10 years, and Motorola introduced their 16-ounce (453-g) DynaTAC phone in 1983, carrying a price tag of $3,500.

• Noah Webster was 70 years old when he copyrighted the first edition of his 70,000-entry “American Dictionary of the English Languageâ€? in April of 1828. Although we’ve depended on Webster’s dictionary all our lives, his first edition sold only 2,500 copies. When it came time to issue the second edition, Webster mortgaged his home in order to finance it, and he lived in debt the remainder of his days.

April has been a busy time over the years! Follow along as Tidbits takes a look at some of the interesting events that have taken place during this fourth month of the Gregorian calendar.
