I’ve had the opportunity to see two very distinctly-different career styles:  desk jobs, and tough manual labor jobs.  My father did manual labor his entire life.  From the time he married my mother in his early 20’s to his passing at age 46, he gained 5 lbs.  That’s all.  Millions of people around America wish [...]

No Excuses…Get Active

Nutrim isn’t the only natural supplement I work with.  In fact, right now, I’m helping with a great joint and bone health supplement that’s getting ready to face bigger markets.  Working with this supplement has sort of given me another view of aging.  It’s primarily for people facing cartilage deterioration…and many of these people, oddly [...]

Community Service and Your Health

Helping Others Helps Yourself
I’m a strong advocate of community service.  I do work with FFA, 4-H, the American Cancer Society, American Heart Association, and some other smaller, lesser-known groups.  I do it to help others, but also because of the feelings of fulfillment that I get from my work with these groups.  I also feel [...]

Complicated Diets Shackle You to Self-Defeating Mindsets
If you’re like just about everyone else, you look at health like an all-or-nothing, gigantic goal that’s unattainable. It’s overwhelming so you don’t even start. I know because I feel that way a lot of times. It’s a self-defeating mindset though. Long-term health is negatively affected because it seems [...]

The Earlier You Start, the Better
Atherosclerosis and the problems it causes get an early start in life.  Cholesterol starts depositing in the arteries of Americans at an early age.  A study in 2003 looked at the arteries of 17 and 18 year old being assessed for the Austrian army.  The signs of athereosclerosis were already [...]

Get the Skinny on Fat
Is fat good or is fat bad?  In America over the last 50 years this question has become more difficult to answer.  Part of the issue is that there is not one statement that can be made that would take into account the complexity of what fat is and what it [...]

Get Some TLC
To help people on the road to lower cholesterol naturally the goverment has created the TLC (Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes) diet.  This diet is designed to help the typical American drop their cholesterol naturally.  The government suggests that doctors first recommend the TLC diet, for those who do not have heart disease, to help their [...]

Nutrim Offers Hope
One pill that does it all.  Isn’t that what most Americans are looking for?  How about a powder that does a lot?  One research study showed that Nutrim powder might be as good as it gets without any crazy side effects. 
The Plan
The study was carried out in 38 middle aged, overweight males with high [...]

An Unknown Disease
Syndrome X, now known as metabolic syndrome, is a combination of high blood pressure, obesity, high cholesterol and insulin resistence.  Over 27 million Americans are believed to have metabolic syndrome.  This syndrome can contribute to many diseases such as heart disease and diabetes. 
The best prevention and treatment of Syndrome X seems to be diet and [...]

The Mediterranean diet emphasizes the following:

An abundance of food from plant sources. These include vegetables, fruits, breads, potatoes, cereals and grains, nuts, beans and seeds. Whole grain instead of enriched sources of breads and cereals are preferred.  These benefits are definitely worth it.
Minimally processed foods and whenever possible, seasonally fresh produce. Purchasing seasonally fresh produce [...]
