At 65 years old, most of your friends will be sitting idle in an old-folks home, counting the weeks by the number of times they play bingo – and measuring their health (or lack of) by the handful of pills they swallow. But not you. If you learn how to boost one single enzyme in your body, you can defy aging the easy way. You’ll be traveling the world, parachuting for the first time, dancing the night away with your wife, or perhaps starting a new, highly profitable business. That enzyme is known as telomerase.
Fat always gets a bad rap. Forgetting chemistry 101, cardiologists insist that all fats are bad. With sweeping generalizations, they tell us to avoid red meat due to its fat content. They fail to distinguish between the fat promoting and heart disease inducing trans-fats and the essential, saturated fats in meat.
Forgetting biochemistry, doctors fail to remember that every single cell in the human body is dependent on saturated fat; making up the cell membrane and even the lump in our skull known as the brain.
Forgetting nutrition, they also fail to remember that most vitamins require healthy, saturated fat to be absorbed by the body.
Don’t ever diet. If you let yourself get hungry, your body will go into fat storage mode. Starvation tricks the body into thinking there’s not enough food in the world. Therefore, once you do eat something, it gets stored as unsightly belly fat. Jeans get tight. And everyone knows that carrying more junk in the trunk isn’t right. To prevent the "oh no, please don’t wear a thong" effect, never restrict calories to the point that you become wildly hungry.
Here is another way to spike your fat storing hormone insulin…and get fat fast; Feed your face 4-6 times daily (graze). This myth grew from the erroneous idea that eating boosts metabolism. And it does. But after three meals per day, this metabolic effect diminishes. It’s like watering a plant all day rather than once a day. Eventually it dies. We’re not that fortunate. If we eat too often, we are forced to waddle our way through life, just like "eat small meals, all the time, advocate" Dr. Weil; man-boobs fully intact.
It was hard writing this blog. My frustration over stupid diet myths and those who perpetuate them almost prevented me from writing cogently. But in the name of America’s gaping eye-candy deficiency, I was able to push past my frustrations to expose four stupid diet myths. Here is the first of four.
Oprah’s personal trainer Bob Greene insists that, "To curb that sweet craving, have a cup of fruit juice." It’s no wonder his celebrity client continues to pack on the pounds at record breaking speeds: Green pushes what’s good for his sponsors (the food industry), not what’s good for your health.
