Lose Weight And Reverse Aging With Resveratrol

Women often choose to go through HRT (hormone replacement therapy) programs when they are experiencing the menopause, but did you know that men can benefit from testosterone HRT as well? Dr. Anju Mathur, who runs the Angel Longevity Medical Center in Los Angeles, talks about the benefits here.

Older men who feel tired all the time and have little enthusiasm for life or work could definitely benefit from testosterone hormone replacement. Symptoms also include gaining unwanted pounds, and a sense of unwellness – not really sick, but not healthy either. Sometimes a man will have an unwarranted anxiety about the body. Because most men are unaware of testosterone deficiency and the possibility of hormone replacement, they just endure.

Thinning hair and loss of hair can also be caused by a testosterone deficiency. In this case hormone replacement will stop the hair loss.

These symptoms are most often found in men over the age of 40, although sometimes the glands slack off on hormone production at age 30. The sooner one has his hormone levels tested and treatment started, the better, but men of any age can be helped. Sometimes inadequate testosterone levels progresses from just feeling tired and unwell to depression. All these symptoms are just caused by insufficient testosterone levels.

Hormone Replacement Choices

At Angel Longevity Medical Center there are two different programs in use to handle low testosterone levels. Often a patient does not need to take testosterone internally. The methods of treatment are:

*Testosterone stimulation treatment. We stimulate the body to produce its own testosterone.

*Testosterone replacement. We replace it.

If the first therapy is successful, which it often is, then it isn’t necessary to take replacement hormones. But if it doesn’t achieve desired results, testosterone can be replaced.

Recent research also indicates that men who have lower testosterone levels have a shorter lifespan. Conversely, treating the condition of insufficient hormones either by stimulating hormone production or with replacement therapy increases life expectancy. This is in addition to relieving all of the symptoms associated with the condition as mentioned above.

Using bioidentical hormones makes male HRT a very safe treatment, with no side effects. Bioidentical means the hormones used for replacement are exactly the same as the ones the body produces. All hormones used at Angel Longevity Medical Center are bioidentical.

An older man can become enthusiastic for life again, active physically and mentally. There is no need to sit around tired and depressed. And he will live longer.

This week it is not possible to neglect the headlines that fructose causes breast and pancreatic cancer. But does this actually mean we have to dispense our OJ down the drain and compost our dried dates and raisins, vowing not to approach the fruit aisle at the supermarket again?

What all the buzz is omitting is the reason why fructose is associated with cancer. The only reason is that sugar isn’t just used by cells. Sugar also turns out to be the backbone of DNA.

DNA is composed in portion of incredibly long chains of ribose sugar. It is simpler for those cells to make ribose from fructose than it is for them to make it from any other source. Nevertheless, the procedure is manual.

The translation of fructose to pentose only happens when there are also fluctuations in an enzyme named transketolase. This enzyme reacts to excess sugar, not necessarily by fructose sugar. It’s not just the presence of fructose that triggers the production of big amounts of ribose. It’s also using very many carbohydrates in general. There is a unexpected eagerness for the more organic cane sugar, or sucrose, but it is necessary to put in mind that sucrose is a chemical mixture of glucose and fructose. You do not avoid fructose by consuming cane sugar.

But what does all this have to do with cancer, anyway?

In the proliferation stage of cancer development, cancer cells need to make lots of DNA so they can separate to create lots of cancer cells. Fructose does not cause cancer. It does not really “fuel” cancer. It provides the raw materials for cancer cell (and healthy cell) DNA. If
you consume tiny amounts of fructose, you don’t activate the massive production of ribose in cancer cells.

There is a distinction, of course, between high-fructose corn syrup and fructose from fruit. “High” fructose is not 100% fructose. It’s also glucose, just in a different ratio than table sugar. The idea for using high-fructose corn syrup is that it doesn’t dry out the same way that cane sugar does, and it is a clever explanation for planting many of corn, selling lots of seed and fertilizer and tractors, making a new product for hedge funds, and so on. Eating no more than about 15 grams (3 spoons) up to twice a day won’t activate the nasty reactions that accelerate cancer proliferation, and eating a single piece of fruit earlier in the day and another piece of fruit later in the day won’t, either.

Dunking a dozen doughnuts, on the other hand, is practically a prescription for cancer growth. It’s just Significant to remember that with fructose as with everything else, stay within a healthy limit. And it’s probably best to avoid high-fructose corn syrup altogether, if only to send the hedge fund managers, GMO creators, and pesticide purveyors a lesson.
