Keep pounds down as the years add up

(taken from VitaJournal October 2012 issue, written by Dr. Eric Grief M. D.)

Three simple ways to stay youthfully trim

Have your noticed your waistline expanding with age?  This expansion results from gaining fat around your mid-section.  Fat accumulation usually means your body is releasing too much insulin, a protein released from the pancreas gland.  Unfortunately, in excessive amounts, insulin promotes the storage of fat.

The solution lies in three simple things: the foods we eat, the timing of our consumption and staying relaxed.

1.  The food we eat

All sugars are not equal.  For example, drinking a glass of orange juice provides a boost of energy.   This short-lived boost of sugar energy can cause your pancreas to overreact and release too much insulin.  Unless you burn the sugar energy soon after drinking the juice, the juice can turn to fat!  Consuming sugar earlier in the day gives you the chance to use it for your activities.

Choosing foods and drink that keep sugar levels low is vital to losing fat around the mid-section.  Some examples are fish, chicken, tofu, lentils, lean beef and avocado. Most vegetables like broccoli, cucumber, cauliflower, onion, lettuce and mushrooms also promote fat loss by keeping sugar level low.

2.  When we eat

By eating small amounts frequently throughout the day, your body's metabolic machinery can stay active. On the other hand, if you skip breakfast, eat a small amount at noon and fill up later in the evening, this is a good way to gain fat around your mid-section.  Skipping breakfast leaves your body's metabolic machinery in "sleep mode."  Try to eat at least three hours before bed.  If you do snack late, then choose a protein like a few almonds or some avocado and cucumber.

3.  Stay relaxed

A restful sleep and a low-stress approach to life help to lose fat.  Sleep helps the gut release a chemical messenger called leptin, a hormone that turns off your appetite for food.  Inadequate leptin levels can cause you to be too hungry and make it more difficult to choose food and drink wisely.

Relaxing exercise that stretches and opens up your body's muscles and tissues helps you release fat better.  Deep breathing, gentle stretching movements and walking are all good.

21st Century Stress=The Enemy of Healthy Brains...

21^st Century Stress==The Enemy of Healthy Brains & Healthy Living

by Sandra Bond Chapman, PH.D. taken from the Vita Journal dated July 2012
 

What is American's biggest health concern? Not heart disease, or stroke or diabetes; it's fear of losing memory, according to a recent survey. And what factor affecting memory do people feel is rising each year? Stress, said almost 40% of those surveyed for a report by the American Psychological Association. Emerging scientific evidentce suggests that memory and stress are intimately tied together. In fact, we may be our own worst enemy when it comes to memory loss because we don't manage our increasing levels of daily life stress.

Stress, whether caused by external events or by internal thought processes, can have a negative effect on the brain and its health; for many of us, stress in an unavoidable fact of life. However, learning how to deal with stress and how to eliminate prolonged stress as much as possible will boost your brain health and build resilience against mental decline.

Not all stress poses a problem; our bodies are designed to combat short-term stress (minutes and hours) by releasing the hormone cortisol to help us manage a threatening situation. That response is rooted in basic survival instinsts: the fight-or-flight choice our ancestors faced when being chased by wild animals. We humans have stress systems that are useful and effective when a fast response is needed.

Chronic stress=brain cell death

However, our bodies and our brains are not equipped to maintain the chronic stress (days and weeks without relief) that the 21^st century man and woman live with every day.

Stress causes measurable brain shrinkage in otherwise healthy individuals. Instead of a burst of a stress hormone to tackle a looming situation most people have chronically elevated levels of cortisol, the hormone that is release in the brain as a stress response. These increased levels drastically affect the brain and your mental performance, especially memory. A continuous dose of cortisol damages the brain's hippocampus (the area of the brain responsible for learning and memory) and eventually leads to brain cell death. High stress levels also contribute to frustration, sickness, poor sleep and reduced creativiity.

Remember, short-term periods of stress can enhance brain performance and brain health leading to improve concentration, memory, planning, decision-making and alertness. However, chronic, unending, negative stress has damaging effects that can mimic early dementia.

Much of the downside of brain performance is related to our choices and what we do or don't do to keep our brains healthy each day. So do all your can to reduce your stress and protect your memory.

Reducing stress is key to maximizing your brain's performance. So how do you do it?

• Get Out and Exercise==Aerobic, physical exercise leads to the birth of new neurons and strengthens connections between brain regions. It also increases brain blood flow to the hippocampus and releases endorphins, the mood-boosting hormones.
   
• Think Positive==Reframe habitual patterns where you relive something negative over and over again, such thinking patterns are believed to strengthen unhealthy memories and brain connections.

• Change Your Environment==If your environment is the cause of your stress, do something to reset your brain. For example: Take a walk outside in fresh air, step away from technology for a brief period, or eliminate unnecessary distractions.

• Have a Support System==Make a list of people you can turn to for advice or just to vent.

• Get a Good Night's Sleep==Sleep can lower stress levels, plus our brain finds new insights into problems that may be causing stress when it is at rest.
