Good nutrition is much too important to neglect. Superior nutrition is essential for optimal physical, mental/emotional and even spiritual health. Through new technology we can now actually learn how what we eat effects our bodies all the way down to our DNA. At the personal level there may be unanswered questions, however.
- Do we personally have the knowledge we need to nourish our families and ourselves with the daily nutritional requirements needed to support their optimal health?
- How important is macro and micro nutrient supplementation?
- Can we effectively protect ourselves from free radical damage by the use of super antioxidants? What causes these free radicals?
- Can we rid ourselves of harmful toxins without losing valuable minerals, nutrients, etc our bodies need and without high costs?
- Just how much does what we eat (or digest) as food (or fuel) for our bodies affect our health?
- How has the study of DNA, genomics and proteomics changed what we know about what we eat or put into our bodies?
During the past 25 + years as a professional clinical nutritionist and researcher I have seen many exciting new technologies developed. When I first became a nutritionist the science of DNA was relatively in its infancy. We knew, mainly through trial and error and accidental discovery through observation, that some particular aspects of nutrition somehow had effects on our health. As a simple example, we could have said that lime juice or citrus (vitamin C) seemed to prevent scurvy, and that vitamin D prevented rickets. But, today with new equipment technologies we are able to study how nutrition affects us all the way down to our DNA. We can see how vitamins D and C work to prevent these diseases. Though genomics and proteomics we can follow cellular development, cellular health and know what actions have positive effects and what actions cause cellular damage – negative effects. We can now focus on cellular renewal. Through these studies we have learned that each day your body replaces over 300 billion new cells and the quality of this replication process is directly proportional to the state of your present health and your present habits/lifestyle. You see...
Every 24 hours your cellular metabolism moves through 2 distinct (and opposite) metabolic phases.
The first phase is that of high-powered energy expenditure which you need for work, play and other activities. This metabolic phase activates at about 6 a.m., and has run its course by about 8 p.m. If you are healthy and well nourished your body runs efficiently, and in high gear, throughout this metabolic phase of your daily cycle. But, such intense living does have a depleting effect. (cellular damage)
So at about 8 p.m. your metabolism swings into the repletion, rebuilding and recharging phase of your daily cycle, the second metobolic phase. (cellular repair)
Up to about age 30 our bodies are in high gear running fairly efficiently. The 300 billion cells it makes each day are equal to or better in quality to those they are replacing. We are in good cellular health. Our vital reserve is building, we are generally healthy – in our prime so to speak. (As a side comment – with the rampant childhood obesity we see today this cycle is changing to the negative in some at a very young age).
Somewhere in our early to mid thirties our cellular metabolism begins to change and we start to show and feel a steady drop in vital energy reserves. The loss of vitality as years go by is best described as the beginning of what is known as “the aging process.” (cellular damage becomes greater than the cellular repair our bodies are capable of) It is the critical point where the "wear and tear" of life takes its toll on the cells of the body. A percentage of the new cells we replace each day are not quite as good as the ones they are replacing... Simply put...
At the cellular level we are experiencing constant damage, caused by free radicals which can alter the functioning of the cell. These free radicals are caused exposure to stress-ors - toxins in the air we breathe and water we drink, emotional stress, physical climate stress and many other outside pressures. While the cell is uniquely permeable to allow nutrients to enter and wastes to be removed, free radicals change the cell function, causing leakage or clogging, and ultimately the death of the cell. Free radicals interfere with the structures inside cells that produce energy, and then leave the cells weak and defenseless. Free radicals can react with cellular lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids, leading to local injury and eventual organ dysfunction. As the free radical overload becomes overwhelming the result is premature aging, inflammation and degenerative disease which are all part of the aging process.
When we complain about the results of all of these stresses the bad news we hear from our family physician may be “you are aging,” or "it is just part of getting older - get use to it." Or he may say something more serious like, "you have cardiovascular disease, diabetes, infertility, kidney, liver, or lung disease, inflammatory or autoimmune diseases, or even cancer." We now know free radicals may even damage the DNA causing it to reproduce incorrectly, too rapidly, or not at all. Free radicals can also combine with carcinogens which can destructively change DNA . Through the use of new technology it is now recognized that the damage caused by free radicals contribute to more than 60 common diseases.
The good news is we can learn how to protect our bodies against toxins and the effects of free radical damage and reduce the aging (cellular damage) process in many ways:
Ø Treat our bodies with respect by nourishing it properly. Having your daily nutritional requirements met from the earliest years of our lives and throughout is vital.
Ø Respect your body’s natural cycle by getting proper rest, exercise and sunlight. Purchase our Healthy Eating and Lifestyle Plan (H.E.L.P.) and we will coach you on proper daily nutrition and good daily lifestyle habits to enhance your wellness and reduce cellular stress.
Ø Help your body neutralize those damaging free radicals by increasing your intake of antioxidants and also by using a detox that will reach to the cellular level without destroying vital needed trace elements. Remember those 300 billion cells that your body must replace or replicate each day? As healthy cells produce new healthy cells, so too, unhealthy cells produce unhealthy cells that reproduce even more unhealthy cells. But, if we protect our cells from damage and they remain healthy they will allow replication of healthy cells. Unhealthy cellular replication = aging and disease, while healthy cellular replication = wellness and a slower aging process which = longevity as well as vitality.
Give yourself some extra protection. Through modern technology we now have products that have the strength and power to “push down” on the metabolic see-saw of cellular damage as well as “push up” on the repair side. Through the study of geonomics and proteomic research (the study of nutrition and how it affects our DNA) supplements have been developed that can greatly reduce anti-aging.
Through study and research pharmaceutical grade neutraceutical products are now available for daily use. ( One laboratory, Unigen, holds 70% of the world’s impact patents (162 patents) relating to nutrition as well as the world's largest medicinal plant library from which they produce their innovative products that are pioneering the way in the anti-aging arena.)
These products are 100% natural “super foods” that have patents and clinical tests and studies behind them. They have been proven to positively effect your cellular health and safely rid your body of toxins. They are virtually side-effect free. You don’t have to have “a simple liver test” to use them and there are products to enhance the wellness of every age group.
We at Holistic 3D Health have addressed these various age groups with some basic nutritional support. Begin utilizing these cutting edge nutritionals and experience the difference today. We recommend:
Ø For children: (or any age group) – we suggest Qivana's Qore System, a two part system that can be used by the whole family on a regular basis. With regular monthly purchases, in your 3rd month you receive a free detox product to compliments and completes the rebuilding and protecting you are doing on a daily basis. You continue to use the two main products adding the detox quarterly. Or you may choose Univera's Essentials, a berry flavored super food drink that provides essential raw nutrients needed to maintain and support optimal health. 3oz. is a perfect meal compliment with a days supply of antioxidants and other nutritional requirements. 6 oz is a great meal replacement for adults (better than Ensure).
Ø For young adults: we suggest our Healthy Eating and Lifestyle Plan plus: Either Qivana's Qore System as directed or Univera's Ageless Xtra 2x’s daily, a multi-vitamin, and perhaps Essentials as a mid - morning or afternoon snack.
Ø For adults 30 plus and Seniors: we suggest our Healthy Eating and Lifestyle Plan plus: Qivana's Qore System as directed and a multi-vitamin, or Univera's Ageless Xtra 2x’s daily, a multi-vitamin, Univera's Essentials as a mid-morning or afternoon snack, and Univera's Prime a DHEA supplement (we recommend having a DHEA sulfate test to determine applicability). RegeniCare or RegeniFree from Univera for muscle/joint discomfort (may not be needed with the Qore System). 6 oz of Essentails is a great meal replacement for weight loss or control. Essentials is also recommended after surgery or any medical crisis for recovery enhancement. Aloe Gold is highly recommended to aid in digestion and GI track health (not generally needed with the Qivana System since it has a probiotic component as part of the system). It is far better for you than OTC or other antacids. We also recommend that you research the following web-sites for much more information on the highest quality botanical nutraceuticals we have found.
