Quick Updates
I’ve been doing background research for several projects that will be introduced in early 2025 including the annual Super Bowl webinar. It’s a long process because one thing often leads to another in a different direction. Here are some of the things I’ve discovered.
Nutrigenomics
Nutrigenomics is the study of how foods interact with genes in positive and negative ways; that’s one of the benefits of the detoxification system in our body. While it seems media and marketing focus on the exotic, based on several papers I read, I don’t let the day end without eating a cruciferous vegetable. Broccoli? Yes, and many more. The nutrients in cruciferous vegetables such as sulforaphanes help with our detox systems and help with single-nucleotide polymorphisms or SNPs for short. This should definitely be included in what you eat every day. This will be included with the Real-Life Detox revision.
The Folate Controversy
I’ve addressed the folate vs. folic acid issue several times. What may be better for people with specific types of SNPs is another form of folate called folinic acid. I’m going to update the ADHD and autism webinar and offer it in January. Using the results of the genetic test for the 5-methyl-tetrahydrofolate SNP may provide a more precise positive outcome with all forms of childhood and adult mental and cognitive challenges.
Aging with a Vengeance
There have been more publications on the benefits of vitamin K2. K1 is the vitamin that helps with blood clotting. K2 is beneficial for bone production, but recent research shows benefits for both brain and heart benefits. As you might expect, this year’s Super Bowl webinar on February 9 will continue the focus on living well as long as we can in Aging with a Vengeance.
That’s a recap of what I’ve researched so far, but the list of studies grows longer and longer. By the time the products are available, who knows what else I’ll find to help you attain the best health you can! Stay tuned.
What are you prepared to do today?
