Midnight Snacks and Breast cancer

High levels of insulin and glucose have been closely linked to increased risk of breast cancer rates and mortality through their proliferative effects. New evidence from the American Association of Cancer Research has come to light that a fasting duration of at least 13.5 hours is helpful.  It  can reduce HbA1C ( glycosylated haemoglbin) by 23% and elevated blood glucose by 50%.
That means dinner at 6 pm and breakfast at 7.30 am and no midnight snacks in between could be effective at reducing your breast cancer risk.

Obesogens or Endocrine Disruptors

Obesogens, or endocrine disruptors are natural and man-made chemicals that work by altering the regulatory system that controls your weight—increasing the fat cells you have, decreasing the calories you burn, and even altering the way your body manages hunger.

How they work?
By mimicking the actions of naturally occurring hormones in our bodies or preventing the hormones we produce from acting correctly.

Endocrine disruptors can:

• Encourage the body to store fat and re-program cells to become fat cells.
• Prompt the liver to become insulin resistant, which makes the pancreas pump out more insulin that turns energy into fat all over the body.
• Prevent leptin (a hormone that reduces appetite) from being released from your fat cells to tell your body you are full.

Where you find them?

• High Fructose corn syrup
• Cleaning products
• Plastics
• Processed foods
• Non stick pans
• Air fresheners

Unlearn Your Pain...the first three secrets

Here are the first 3 secrets to unlearning your pain

• The first is to understand what persistent pain is and how it comes about. It is a neurological problem that is different than acute pain. It is sensed in the emotional, not the pain center, of the brain.

• Second, you need to take a holistic approach and look at the whole body and mind not just at a part of the body.  Address it all at once.

• Finally, is to know that the responsibility for change is yours and its up to you to take action.

Want to Train Faster or Further? Benefits of a Low Carbohydrate Ketogenic Eating Plan

You've got to see this.  Click on the link below to see the shorts on the 

Movie Cereal Killers One and Two

WE may have been doing it all wrong.  I was lucky this year to meet Dr Jeff Volek.  Jeff Volek is a dietitian-scientist who has spent 15 years studying diet and exercise effects on health and performance. He has held an academic position at Ball State University and is currently an associate professor at the University of Connecticut. 

One of his studies used elite male ultra-endurance runners aged 21 to 45 years.  There were 2 groups; High carbohydrate group and Low Carbohydrate group.  The groups were well matched on age, body mass, aerobic capacity, ad competition times, the main difference was the habitual diet.  The low carbohydrate group came out on top.

I put this to the test in the City to Surf this year and aced it.  There was no fatigue, no dizziness, no hitting the wall when your fuel ran out.  I was running along side kids half my age and passing them.  It was really exciting.

 Here are some more points from Dr. Volek’s talk.

-You lose more weight and gain more muscle when you combine a low carb diet and resistance training compared to just a low carb diet or just resistance training.
-People on low carb diets can eat 3x the saturated fat compared to people on a low fat diet and still have lower levels of saturated fat in their blood.
-Calorie restriction has been touted as a way to slow/stop aging. You can impact the same biological markers by restricting carbohydrates (while NOT restricting calories).
-Often times when people in Dr. Volek’s studies go on low carbohydrate diets they end up increasing their vegetable consumption
-Metabolic Syndrome is becoming a huge problem in the U.S. and worldwide; carbohydrate restriction attacks all the problem areas of metabolic syndrome more comprehensively than any drug or treatment available.
-The obesity problem in the U.S. is driven by uncontrolled insulin levels. The best way to control insulin is to control its most powerful stimulator – carbohydrates.

Cholestrol Readings...are they helpful?

There is now more information available about cholesterol than ever before.  What I can't understand is that we listen to the news each night on the radio and television and don't hear about this.  Heart disease is a big killer in Australia and this could potentially save lives.
Let me explain just a little of the research.  Think of two clients John and David.  They both have elevated LDL levels and would both be normally prescribed a cholesterol lowering medication by the doctor.  On further testing called LDL subfractions that measures the size of the LDL particles, John is found to have generally big sizes of LDL where David is found to have smaller LDL particules.  The small particles have a greater potential due to their small size of penetrating the endothelium ( the inside of the artery walls).  This is where the damage is done and David's risk factors are much higher than John's.
Traditional lipid profiles do not identify the risk of cardiovascular diseases that are caused by the presence of small dense LDL particles. Dangerous LDL particles may hide behind normal cholesterol levels and, conversely, elevated cholesterol levels do not inevitably have to be associated with a heart attack risk.

Would you like a Healthy Heart?

Here is a sneak peak on the first workshop of the Healthy Hearts Program

In Cardiovascular disease for decades we have been looking for 5 risk factors
· High cholesterol
· High blood pressure
· Diabetes Mellitus
· Obesity
· Smoking
We have been told if you address these 5 factors you are safe and sound from a heart attack.

New research has shown this is not correct
· Abnormal cholesterol levels are NOT the primary cause or indicators of coronary heart disease
· Consuming a high cholesterol diet or eating eggs does NOT significantly raise blood pressure levels for most people.
· All LDL ‘bad cholesterol’ is not harmful and not all HDL ‘good cholesterol’ is protective.
· The blood pressure reading taken in your doctor’s office may not be an accurate measure of your true blood pressure
· A fasting morning blood sugar reading of 99mg/dl or 5.5mmol/L may not be safe or normal
· A normal body weight does not ensure heart health.

If we look at the role of cholesterol in heart health we know;
· You may have high total cholesterol and high LDL levels but have relatively healthy arteries
· You may have normal total cholesterol and normal LDL but have very unhealthy arteries.
· You may have high levels HDL yet still have an increased risk of developing coronary heart disease.

The real culprits and the elements that we should be trying to control are;
· Inflammation
· Oxidative stress
· Autoimmune damage
These are the game changes. These are the three factors we address in the Healthy Heart program and these are the three factors that we can now measure in testing.
