Last month we covered the basics of inflammation and the difference between acute inflammationwhen you bang your knee hard against a tableand chronic inflammation, which flies beneath the pain radar but can essentially destroy your body. I also covered a list of foods known to be high in anti-inflammatories. (To read part one, click HERE).

But supplements are also a powerful ally in the war against chronic inflammation

Many supplements have been clinically shown to lower important markers of inflammation. Heres a short guide to the most important ones.

Omega-3: The Wellness Molecule

Omega-3s are among the most anti-inflammatory substances on the planet and should be part of everyones supplement program. At this point, so much research exists to confirm this that it doesnt seem necessary to reiterate it here. Omega-3s (especially from fish) lower triglycerides, blood pressure andmost especiallyinflammation.

Omega-7: Bold New Discovery, Researched at the Cleveland Clinic

Omega-7 is a fatty acid found in cold-water fish, as well as macadamia nuts and sea buckthorn berries. It has beneficial effects on metabolic syndrome, diabetes, weight, triglycerides and insulin resistance. A study at the prestigious Cleveland Clinic found that omega-7 lowered C-Reactive Proteina test for systemic inflammationby 44%. (Barleans has a superb omega-7 product called Heart Remedy that contains the exact dose (210) of omega-7 used in the Cleveland Clinic study.)

Magnesium: The Great Relaxer

Magnesium supplements are a must for those who want to protect their heart. Magnesium lowers blood pressure, helps control blood sugar and relaxes the lining of the blood vessels. And almost all dietary surveys show that Americans arent getting nearly enough.

Magnesium dilates the arteries, thus reducing blood pressure and making it far easier for the heart to pump blood and for the blood to flow freely. Because blood pressure can contribute to inflammatory lesions in the vascular walls, its a good idea to include it in an anti-inflammatory supplement program.

Curcumin: The New Superstar of Supplements

This extract from the Indian spice turmeric has multiple benefits, not the least of which is that its highly anti-inflammatory. Scientific research has demonstrated its anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, anti-thrombotic, and cardiovascular-protective effects (1). It also reduces oxidized LDL cholesterol (2). Curcumin in general isnt well absorbed, so I like supplements with either C-3 or BCM-95 curcumin, as those two forms have been shown to be the most absorbable.

Resveratrol: Not just for anti-aging

Resveratrol is the ingredient in red wine thats best known for its anti-aging activity. It helps protect the arteries, improves their elasticity, inhibits blood clots, and lowers both oxidized LDL and blood pressure (3). Not a bad rsum! Its both a strong anti-oxidant and a strong anti-inflammatory, inhibiting a number of inflammatory enzymes that can contribute to heart disease. It also inhibits the ability of certain molecules to stick to the walls of the artery where they can take up residence and contribute to inflammation (4). The recommended dose is 200 mg a day of trans-resveratrol, the active component of resveratrol. Read labels carefully: Many wont tell you how much resveratrol is of the trans- variety.

MSM

MSM is methyl sulfonyl-methane, a naturally anti-inflammatory that blocks the transmission of impulses in nerve fibers that carry pain signals. Its long had the reputation of being great for joint health and the pain of arthritis. It has a high sulfur content, which makes sense when you realize that for centuries people have visited sulfur-rich hot springs for muscle aches and pains. The biochemical precursor to MSMdimethyl sulfoxidehas been studied extensively for pain and reduction of inflammation for years.

Boswellia

The herb boswellia is well-known for its ability to lower inflammation. 150 mg three times a day (or the equivalent) is recommended for two or three months. It has been used effectively in combination with ginger, turmeric, and ashwagandha, and has proved beneficial for inflammation and pain associated with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis (7). You can often find it at the store combined with curcumin.

GLA

GLA (gamma linolenic acid) is an anti-inflammatory omega-6 fatty acid (8) and the active ingredient in evening primrose oil, borage oil, and black currant oil. (The average 1,000 mg dose of evening primrose oil contains about 100 mg of GLA.) GLA seems to have a synergistic effect with the long-chain fatty acid EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and should be given together with omega-3 fish oil. Try to get 1,000 mg a day of GLA (in conjunction with 2-4 grams of combined EPA-DHA from fish oil).

The bottom line

Inflammation is likely to emerge as the health concern of the decade, but the good news is that you can do a great deal to combat it. Healthy, whole foods, plenty of omega-3 fats, and a minimum of sugar in your diet is a great place to start!

PS: Stress is inflammatory. As are toxic emotions. So a real anti-inflammation lifestyle needs to include some attention on those variables as well! Pay attention to your feelingsthey make a difference in both your mental and your physical health.

Inflammation: The Silent Killer (and what to do about it) PART TWO - WholeFoods Magazine

If youre doing all the right thingscleansing, exfoliating, moisturizing, SPFingand your skin is still looking blas with a side of meh, a face serum could be exactly what you need. Face serums are thinner than a traditional moisturizer and contain higher concentrations of active ingredients, explains Sapna Palep, M.D., a board-certified dermatologist at Spring Street Dermatology in New York City. The specific benefits of a serum depend on the actives in the formula, but all are meant to help you hone in on particular issues, such as fine lines, discoloration, and dryness.

The best part is how easy they are to integrate into your skincare routine. Serums are most effective when applied after an exfoliating cleanser to enhance penetration, and before an emollient moisturizer that will seal the serum in the skin, says Illinois-based board-certified dermatologist Jessie Cheung, M.D.

Apply your protective antioxidant serums in the morning (vitamin C, for example) and your repair and regenerate serums at night (hello, retinol), when your skin is resting. As for what you should look for in the serum itself, that depends on the specific skin woes youre looking to conquer.

For wrinkles: Retinol, glycolic acid, growth factors, and bakuchiol will help build collagen and improve skin texture, says Melanie Palm, M.D., board-certified dermatologist and clinical professor at Scripps Encinitas Memorial Hospital in California. Hydrators, like hyaluronic acid or ceramides, will also plump skin and reduce irritation.

For daily protection: Look for a serum that contains antioxidants, such as vitamin C (ascorbic acid), vitamin E (tocopherol), vitamin B3 (niacinamide), green tea polyphenols, and resveratrol. They act as a shield against environmental and lifestyle elements (UV rays, air pollutants, alcohol, smoking) that suck the life out of your face.

For dark spots and uneven skin tone: Antioxidants brighten skin while also protecting against environmental factors. Other color-correcting ingredients that get the job done include kojic, glycolic, and lactic acids, as well as licorice root, mushroom extract, and botanical extracts, like soy.

For dryness: Look for a creamier serum that contains hyaluronic acid to pull water to the skin, niacinamide to boost ceramide levels (a natural component of the skin barrier), and vitamin E to soothe and protect your skin from environmental damage, says Ramya Kollipara, M.D., a board-certified dermatologist at Westlake Dermatology in Texas.

For redness and inflammation: Sensitive skin types should look for anti-inflammatory ingredients like zinc, green tea, licorice root, and aloe vera, says Dr. Kollipara. Opt for a fragrance- and preservative-free serum to reduce potential irritation. Avoid using retinoids or acids too frequently if your skin is sensitive, says Dr. Cheung.

For breakouts: Acne serums should be noncomedogenic (meaning they wont clog pores) and oil-free. Look for exfoliators like glycolic acid, says Dr. Palep. Retinol is also handy, since it increases cell turnover and improves absorption of your other acne treatments in the process. Seek out hydrators, like hyaluronic acid, and inflammation-fighters, like niacinamide.

For overall radiance: If you dont have specific skin issues per se, but want to spruce up your skin in general, look for serums that contain hydroxy acids, which exfoliate skin and may improve collagen production.

Phew, got all that? Its a lot to take inbut now that you know what to look for, you can get to the fun part. Here, the best face serums for every skin type and budget, according to top dermatologists.

BEST OVERALL

Melatonik contains bakuchiol, a plant-derived active that behaves like a retinol without the irritation or dryness, says Dr. Palm. It also contains topical melatonin, which acts as an indirect antioxidant, helping to repair the skin during the restorative period of our skins circadian rhythm.

BEST VALUE

Niacinamide, or vitamin B3, is a soothing, hydrating, and anti-inflammatory ingredient that can be combined with other actives to minimize irritation and soothe sensitive skin, says Dr. Shainhouse. This serum the all-star add-inwith 1% zinc, which has oil-controlling properties.

RAVE REVIEWS

Slather on this night serum from Neutrogena to reduce the look of fine lines and stimulate new collagen growth. This product contains a specialized delivery system that reduces potential irritation but maintains the effectiveness of the retinol, saysJoshua Zeichner, M.D., director of cosmetic and clinical research in dermatology at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City.

CULT FAVORITE

Also named one of our top vitamin C serums (and a go-to for Lady Gaga), this product contains collagen, orange and green tea extracts, and aloe vera juice to brighten, firm, and soften the skin. The texture glides on silky-smooth, and never feels sticky.

BEST ANTIOXIDANT SERUM

BEST FOR DARK SPOTS

Azaleic acid is a natural yeast byproduct that not only blocks tyrosinase enzymes to break down unwanted pigment, but has anti-redness, anti-rosacea, and anti-acne effects that are safe for sensitive skin, says Beverly Hills-based board-certified dermatologist Tsippora Shainhouse, M.D.

BEST FOR ACNE-PRONE SKIN

This cult-favorite oil-based serum contains 1.5% salicylic acid, tea tree oil, and black cumin seed to unclog pores and keep acne acne at bay. Licorice root extract tames inflammation and naturally brightens, while aloe vera hydrates and soothes.

Last week we discussed some myths related to breast cancer as debunked by Dr Kristi Funk, in her book Breasts, the owners manual. This week we will discuss the subject of foods that are helpful in preventing breast cancer. Diet is only one of many factors related to breast cancer development, but happens to be the most important. It is thus useful to spend some time on this subject.

ALSO READ : Turning the Tide: Breast cancer Facts and fallacies (Part 2)

Our amazing bodies are designed to maintain homeostasis living in harmony with destructive and constructive forces. Each cell is a highly complex megacity of functions working together to maintain function reproduction, elimination of waste and physiological and structural integrity. All the information to perform all these functions is encoded in the rather fragile DNA (De-oxyribonucleic acid) strands which are the source of the approximately 25,000 genes that provide guidance to all living functions. Our diet is the source of hundreds of thousands of phytochemicals which provide profound anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties that target destructive forces seeking to disrupt these delicate processes. Many factors promote the development of cancers like cigarette smoke, carcinogens in our diet and in our environment, inefficient immune systems, lack of exercise and chronic stress, to name a few. It makes sense to learn how we can boost the protective factors in the battle against cancer. Most of these are found in our diet. This information relates not just to breast cancer but to all cancers.

Have you ever heard about phytochemicals before? I have mentioned these on a number of occasions on these blogs. Here are some of the well-known ones that have been shown to have anti-cancer effects and their main sources:

sulforaphane (broccoli, kale)

indole-3-carbinol (broccoli, kale)

genistein (soy)

diallyl sulphide (garlic)

ellagic acid (berries, walnuts)

curcumin (turmeric)

epigallocatechin gallate (green tea)

resveratrol (red grapes)

omega-3 fatty acids (flaxseeds, chia seeds, avocado)

procyanidins (berries)

lycopene (tomatoes, watermelon)

anthocyanidins (apples)

limonene (oranges)

carotenoids (orange fruits and vegetables)

How do these phytochemicals work?

This is certainly a mighty powerful list of activities by these tiny chemicals found so abundantly in plant-based foods. Unfortunately modern processing methods end up denuding many of our foods of these vital substances. Food manufacturers then try to impress us by listing the smattering of minerals and vitamins with which they have enriched our foods.

Far too many people have never learned to appreciate the flavours and textures of plant foods.

It behooves especially moms, but also dads to instil in the palates of young children the love for fruits and vegetables and other plant foods. As Kristi Funk says so succinctly If you really want to defeat cancer, then eat like you mean it.

How do we obtain all these amazing phytochemicals? Certainly you dont find them on the shelves of pharmacies in little bottles of supplements well you might find a few there. But they are best obtained in their natural sources a wide variety of colourful fruits and vegetables green, yellow, orange, red, purple and white; in whole grains like oats, and brown or black and wild rice, wheat, barley, quinoa, maize; legumes like soy, beans, chick-peas, lentils; finally, nuts like almonds, walnuts, and seeds like chia and linseeds, etc. Most of these are accompanied by another health-promoting ingredient fibre. This is one essential nutrient absent in animal products.

What can you do to ensure that you are obtaining all you need of these vital substances each day? Kristi advises that you should consume 10 servings (about 5 cups) of fruits and vegetables daily. It is helpful to include 2 servings of each of the colours per day green, red, yellow, orange, brown/white. That 10 servings is not including all the whole grains and legumes. By the way if you are eating this plant-strong diet, you can eat an enormous amount of food each day without gaining weight in fact you will be surprised that you are actually losing weight without even really trying.

Kristi Funk spends a lot of time sharing her research on soy and breast cancer. She herself at one time discouraged the use of soy in relation to breast cancer, because of its known oestrogenic properties. However it turns out that soy actually blocks the development of breast cancer, especially if consumed during childhood and youth. Soy does not increase breast cancer but in fact decreases the occurrence, recurrence, and death rates in every single study exploring this matter since 2009. Good sources of soy proteins include tofu, soybeans (edamame), roasted soybeans and soy milk both long-life and powdered milk.

There is so much more information in Kristi Funks book, which I recommend to your reading.

Next week we will present a synopsis of her chapter on foods to avoid for healthy breasts, and to avoid breast cancer.

The best way to benefit from all this helpful information is to sit down and contemplate practically what you can do to incorporate this into your daily lifestyle. How will this information affect what you eat for breakfast, lunch and supper/dinner. How will it affect your grocery shopping behaviour? Might it be helpful to have a serious conversation with your family and discuss changes you can begin to transform your diet from one that is poor in nutritional value, to one that is bursting with a cornucopia (now there is a fancy word you can look up on your smartphone) of vital nutrients. This is a journey well worth beginning.

PS much of the information in this blog is mined out of Kristi Funks book. However I have added information from other sources where appropriate. I highly recommend you obtain her book for far more in-depth discussion about the subject.

Have a great week.

You've probably heard the term "antioxidants", but do you know why you should eat them and how they can be incorporated into your diet?

Antioxidants are the reason why a diet rich in colourful fruit and vegetables, wholegrains, nuts and seeds is recommended. In fact, theyve been called the superheroes of nutrition. But why exactly is that?

Science lesson 101

To understand what antioxidants are, we first need to understand two key terms: reactive oxygen species (ROS), also called free radicals, and oxidative stress. ROS exist in humans to protect the body against harmful substances from the environment.

When our environment becomes unhealthy and toxins (like car emissions, anti-cancer drugs, pesticides, too much sun and cigarette smoking) bombard our bodies, ROS are formed in an effort to protect the body.

However, when too many ROS are formed, and they are not eliminated, they can damage our cells. ROS are chemically unstable and cause damage by stealing electrons from body cells to make them more stable.

Think of free radicals like a chair with three legs: unstable and unsteady, with the potential to cause damage to the DNA in our cells. This damage is called oxidative stress.

ROS can also bind to fats in the diet and form a harmful substance called lipid peroxidase. Scientists believe that oxidative stress may play a central role in various autoimmune diseases, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, cancer, arthritis, stroke, poor immunity, ageing, memory loss, poor vision, and even wrinkles.

How can our bodies fight free radicals?

The body has enzymes that normally scavenge the excess ROS. These are called super oxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione peroxidase. They rely on a large variety of vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients in the diet to function optimally.

Thus it appears that a diet high in fats and lacking in vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients contributes to the cell damage responsible for developing chronic lifestyle diseases.

The role of antioxidants

Enter the anti-oxidant: a powerful molecule that empowers the enzymes to neutralise the harmful ROS. There may be hundreds and possibly thousands of substances that can act as antioxidants, each serving a specific task in the body, which is why it is important to have a varied diet.

These include phenolic compounds like caffeic acid (in coffee) and ellagic acid (in green tea); flavonoids like quercetin (e.g. apples, cranberries, onions, lettuce, broccoli, tomato, olive oil); catechins (tea); flavones (celery, parsley) and anthocyanidins (cherries, raspberries, strawberries and grapes), resveratrol (red grapes, red wine), lignans (barley, pomegranate, flaxseeds); tannins (legumes, leafy green vegetables); phytoestrogens (soy); andlutein and zeaxanthin (eggs).

Eat the rainbow

Its easy to eat more antioxidants, just eat a more plant-based diet focusing on foods like fruit, vegetables, wholegrains, nuts and seeds. Focus on eating all the colours of the rainbow when choosing your daily fruit and vegetables with the help of this handy table:

Other foods containing various antioxidant compounds include coffee, green tea, rooibos tea, red wine (in controlled portions), red kidney beans, sweet potato, unprocessed wholegrains (e.g. oats, wholegrain bread, whole-wheat pasta, corn), and eggs.

Should I take antioxidant supplements?

As almost all health organisations globally recommend the consumption of a minimum of five portions of fresh fruit and vegetables daily, it seems a food first approach is the best practice to meet your antioxidant needs.

In fact, there isnt much evidence to support the notion that we get a higher intake of antioxidants in the form of supplements, with some studies showing no benefit, and some studies even reporting that excess antioxidant supplements may have a detrimental effect on our heath.

Simply increase your intake of fresh fruits and vegetables by experimenting with different tastes and textures and shopping for seasonal produce.

ERRATA AND ADDENDUM TO OUR HERMAN TREND ALERT ON THE CORONAVIRUS

I need to set the record straight on a few fronts: first, and probably most important, I have discovered that SARS and MERS were also corona viruses and thus, it would be more appropriate to call this disease that will soon be a pandemic, COVID-19. Additionally, the source which I though was snakes, was, in fact, the same as SARS---bats. Apparently, people in China eat bat meat. This winter due to high temperatures, the bats did not have the same amount of hibernation time. Therefore, their immune systems were not as strong, and they succumbed to COVID-19. When people ate the meat, they became ill with the disease. Now for the good news, according to my sources, eating bioflavonoids and dark chocolate, drinking black tea, taking 200mg of Resveratrol daily, and avoiding adult-dosages of aspirin will help you avoid contracting this dreaded disease. Finally, the mortality rate for this disease appears to have actually been between three and four percent, but when once effective treatmen tsare in place, that number will plummet. Keep your immune system strong and you will avoid COVID-19.

According to Emma Taylor, M.D., study author, resveratrol might help slow down benzoyl peroxides toxic effects and extend its antibacterial activity for a longer time.

(Newswire.net -- March 5, 2020) Orlando, FL -- The Academy of Dermatology reveals that mild to moderate acne happens to around 40 to 50 million individuals in the United States.

According to experts, it occurs 100 percent in teenagers but also happens in 20 percent of adults, which belong to the age bracket of 25 and 44.

Dermatologists say that when the glands of the face overproduce oil, and this is combined with dead skin cells, it causes blockage in the pores and hair follicles. This then triggers the growth of bacteria in the clogged pores and follicles, leading to a breakout.

There are also other triggers, such as hormonal, genetic, and environmental factors. It may include exercise, diet, and stress, as well as hidden culprits like pillowcases and yoga mats.

It is worth mentioning that washing the face wont actually clear up blemishes, and this particularly includes over-cleansing and over-exfoliating. These skin care methods could even potentially exacerbate acne issues.

There are measures strongly recommended to reduce the risk of acne, and this includes staying hydrated and following a healthy diet. It is also best to avoid the use of makeup with mineral oil, which has been found to worsen acne.

Some acne-fighting remedies have long been reputed to be helpful, but it is always wise to consider the use of antioxidants like resveratrol.

For decades, researchers have been carrying out studies to explore the therapeutic benefits of this polyphenol. It is reputed to be an excellent remedy for the heart, brain, and some conditions linked with aging.

In a recently-conducted UCLA study, it has been found resveratrol may be useful in clearing up nasty breakouts.

The scientists applied resveratrol to a strain of acne-causing bacteria. At the end of the study, it was found that the antioxidant was able to inhibit the development of the pimple-producing bugs for a sustained amount of time.

According to Emma Taylor, M.D., study author, resveratrol might help slow down benzoyl peroxides toxic effects and extend its antibacterial activity for a longer time.

It is also worth mentioning resveratrol use has also been found to produce a range of skin health benefits. It may even fight the signs of aging, such as wrinkles.

To experience its healing effects, it is wise to consider the use of Purest Vantage Resveratrol. This fantastic formula has long been used to protect and improve skin health from the inside and out.

Aside from its high potency that it is popularized of, it is also protected with a customer satisfaction guarantee (www.amazon.com/Resveratrol-Supplement-Trans-Resveratrol-Additional-Polyphenol/dp/B01N3LZY3O).
