Put The Top 30 Proteins For Longevity On Your Menu
By Grace O
Protein is very important for strong muscles and bones. Lean protein helps achieve weight loss. I love meat-it has riboflavin, vitamin B12, tyrosine, and zinc-but I enjoy it in moderation, which protects against cardiovascular disease. I also am careful about eating cured meats, which can aggravate joints and promote gout. Whenever possible, I use grass-fed beef over corn-fed beef because cows were created to eat grass, not corn. The meat from animals that graze grass-cows, lambs, or even buffalo-contains more of the good-for-you omega-3 fatty acids and less of the bad-for-you omega-6s. |

pH Levels Keep Your Bones Healthy
By Dr. Mark Rosenberg
I encourage my 50-and-older patients to get a bone density test every year. As this test tells me if they're losing or maintaining their bone density and strength. The pelvis and femur bones of the hips and upper thighs are especially significant as we get older because they support our body walking and standing and, really, with any activity we do. Read More
