Who doesn’t want to look younger and feel better!

With that in mind, how do we age?

There’s cellular damage that occurs when our own cells divide more rapidly and finally die off.  The cells can be affected by genetics, but more importantly there are extrinsic factors (namely our environment that can trigger accelerated aging i.e., stress, smoking, drinking, junk food, and caffeine[1]).

Yes, too much coffee can do it. Coffee dehydrates our bodies and slows down wound healing. It can also cause toxic buildup, inflammation, and collagen loss. This can lead to redness, acne, and wrinkles.

Furthermore, if you consume energy drinks (e.g., Monster, Red Bull), or drink too much coffee, you may consider a healthy substitution. I like Teecino. It’s coffee flavored tea, that can give you a natural energy boost from nutrients, not stimulants.

In addition, too much processed sugar ages our skin due to glycation.[2] This is where sugar in the bloodstream binds to proteins, lipids (fats) and DNA, forming harmful new molecules called AGEs (advanced glycation end products). In essence, chronic high blood sugar, like in uncontrolled diabetes, can lead to accelerated aging.

So, if you have a sweet tooth check out my Wellness Wednesday: How to Curb your Sweet Tooth in early Dec 2021.

The good news is we can control what we put into our bodies.

In addition, activity helps us look younger by improving blood flow and building strong muscles. So, get to Krav at least twice a week and MOVE daily, STRETCH & RELAX. It does the body good!

Can Plug-ins Make YOU Sick and Fat?

  Can Fragrances (e.g. perfumes, colognes, air fresheners)  Make YOU SICK & FAT? Did you know the scent within many perfumes and colognes along with plug-ins (and many other household and beauty products have chemical fragrances or parfums in their ingredients i.e., Febreze, Lysol, Clorox Bleach, Dawn, Tide, Irish Spring, Fabuloso etc) which contain many harmful chemicals. According to the Environmental Working Group (EWG.org), many of the chemicals in these synthetic fragrances contain phthalates, which can disrupt hormones, worsen asthma, allergies, lead to headaches, fatigue, weight gain (as these chemicals get stored in the fat), weaken the immune system, and even possibly cause cancer. What to do?   Use natural products.  For not much more money, you can get products from Seventh Generation (SeventhGeneration.com), Ecos (ecos.com) etc. that don’t contain many of these harmful chemicals. These ecofriendly products can smell nice and be just as effective at eliminati

How to Relieve Pain Long Term & Naturally

  How to Relieve Pain Long Term & Naturally Our body is connected (as you know!), but when we see a traditional doc, they may only focus on the specific body part for which you are having a problem. For example, when I saw my neurosurgeon for neck pain, they only looked at my neck. I have a history of many ankle sprains. Once I addressed strengthening my ankles, which I never thought to do because they didn't hurt, my neck pain improved. The chiropractor explained my "weak ankles likely turned in my hips and shoulders, which likely affected my neck". Once I strengthened my ankles and stretched my hips and shoulders more, my neck pain improved (without the surgery). I've seen many patients with knee pain where the cause of the their pain was related to tight hips or problems with their feet (which they told me was never addressed before). The great part is they are improving and feeling better and are not taking their pain medicines any longer (e.g. T
