The Green Lipped Mussel
1. The New Zealand green-lipped mussel
The green-lipped mussel is better than glucosamine; it not only promotes joint health but also counteracts inflammation and glucosamine just doesn’t do that.
A leading Oxford medical journal analyzed multiple studies and concluded, “Green-lipped mussel may have positive effects in the treatment of osteoarthritis.” (more…)

#1. Relax!
- Stress is the number-one road hazard on life’s journey. But not necessarily major stressors like losing a loved one, getting divorced or being diagnosed with cancer. Although these events can have a major impact on your mind, body and soul, they are often temporary stressors and do not cause long-term damage. It’s the smaller, perpetual stresses that an individual undergoes that may cut back years of life. In fact, long-term stress can lead to diabetes, heart problems, high blood pressure and susceptibility to infection. And according to an article on CBS Online, “Research suggested that people with positive emotions may live longer and healthier lives.” So, if you find yourself stressed out and cranky more days than not, it’s time to start de-stressing. Meditation, yoga, music therapy, being with people you love, relaxation and even a visit to a wellness spa may all take the edge off and help boost your lifespan! (more…)

When I talk about heart disease, I like to mention up front something that many people do not realize: heart disease is mostly preventable. I say “mostly” because there is a small number of risk factors that increase your chances of getting heart disease that cannot be changed: race, sex, age, genetics and family history. But there is a much larger list of factors associated with heart disease can be changed. For example:
- Quit smoking
- Limit alcohol intake
- Manage stress
- Maintain a healthy weight
- Exercise routinely
- Cut back on foods high in saturated and trans fats
- Eat more vegetables, fruits, whole grains, fiber and fish

In less than 12 weeks, I will be participating in my very first triathlon. I’ve never done one before, let alone run a 5K. But I have picked up some amazing tips during my training on how to increase endurance and optimize performance.
- 1. Eat well and hydrate often: Dr. Jack Manzella, clinical education director for the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine and Res-Q’s medical advisor, writes, “Adequate hydration on a daily basis is essential. One of the biggest mistakes I made early on in my [marathon] training was to only hydrate before exercising. Our bodies (especially the kidneys) require time to adjust to increase fluid intake. The more adequately hydrated the body is on a cellular level, the better the body’s ability to endure.” (more…)

This week’s blog post was put together by our Chief Research Consultant, who, in my opinion, knows everything there is to know about the best supplements for extrem
e health. So…without further ado, here are the big five:
1. Multi: Not just any multivitamin, but one that has Vitamin D3 in it, and a whole slew of other good stuff.
A good multivitamin (100 percent of the Daily Value (DV) of all the vitamins and minerals) can help supplement the diet and ensure daily vitamin intake as it’s nearly impossible to eat enough fruits, vegetables or whole foods in a normal diet to get the same effect. Be sure your multi has B vitamins, A, C, E, and Folic acid. There are also “whole foods” vitamins, “green” vitamins and heart specific vitamins for special needs. (more…)
