How Much Protein Do You Need

Posted by Dan Hammer //

07/01/2017

With the recent emphasis on protein to improve your health has come the question, how much protein do you need? If you research this, then you’re going to find a wide range of answers.

According to the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention it’s 46 grams for women and 56 grams for men. However, you need to keep in mind that this is the minimum to prevent illnesses due to lack of protein consumption.

In a recent show on Dr. Oz he also addressed this question on how much protein do you need. According to Dr. Oz the suggested recommendation varies according to your current weight. Here is a link to the show and in it he recommends dividing your weight by 3 to determine the amount of protein that’s right for you.

If I used his suggestion, then I would need 45 grams of protein since I weigh 136 pounds. This would be less then the government’s recommendation. However, if I weighed 210 pounds, then I would need 70 grams of protein, which would be higher then the government’s recommendation.

In deciding how much protein is right for you, this formula of dividing your weight by 3 allows for individual differences and would work for both men and women. Read More →

What is the Best Anti Aging Ingredient?

Posted by Dan Hammer //

05/15/2017

For most people the best anti aging ingredient is the one they fail to consume on a daily basis. Or they think they’re consuming it, but because of additives and sugars they’re actually accelerating the aging process instead of slowing it down.

What is this ingredient?

Pure water!

Now you can do some things to enhance your water like add lemons or liquid chlorophyll. But by itself water is the best anti aging ingredient that you need to consume on a daily basis.

Couldn’t Coffee, Soda, or Beer Be The Best Anti Aging Ingredient?

No! You’re thinking that you get lots of water in the eight cups of coffee you drink or the several cans of soda you consume. Or maybe you’re counting the bottles of beer after work because it makes you go to the bathroom.

SORRY! THESE DON’T COUNT!

It needs to be pure water and lots of it! Before I tell you why, let me give you some facts that you can share at work: Read More →

In this blog post I’m going to empower you with the Old Secret to Weight Loss! This secret is so obvious that for most people it remains hidden from view. However, once you learn how to apply this weight loss secret, you’ll be able to harness its power to reshape yourself and your life!

The old secret to weight loss is found in the following formula:

Calories In vs. Calories Out =
Weight Gain, Weight Loss or
Weight Stays the Same

The formula is that simple.

“Calories In” represents the calories you bring into your body through the foods you eat and the beverages you drink.

“Calories Out” represents the calories your body burns up based on your metabolism and the activities you participate in.

If the “Calories In” are greater than the “Calories Out” you will gain weight. If the “Calories In” are less than the “Calories Out” you will loss weight. And, if the “Calories In” are equal to the “Calories Out” your weight will stay the same. Read More →

Fish Oil or Plant Oil for Heart Health

Posted by Dan Hammer //

03/15/2017

There has been a long running controversy about fish oil or plant oil for heart health. And this controversy has created confusion for the general public.

Why?

Because of your body’s need for essential fatty acids called Omega-3 fats. There are 3 of them:

ALA (alpha-linolinic acid) which is a short chain fatty acid from plants

EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) which is a long chain fatty acid from Fish or Krill Oil

DHA (decosahexaenoic acid) which is a long chain fatty acid from Fish or Krill Oil

These fatty acids are considered essential because your body cannot make them. And they provide the following health benefits:

10 Steps for Liver Support and Cleansing

Proper liver support and cleansing is critical to your health, disease prevention, and how well you age. As the companion article “A Healthy Liver is Key to Effective Aging!” pointed out, your liver is an amazing organ. Over 500 chemical and metabolic functions take place in the liver. This article outlines the steps needed to make a positive impact on the health of your liver. The more you support your liver the greater your opportunity to live a healthier life and slow down the aging process.

10 Steps for Liver Support and Cleansing

Step 1 – Reduce your consumption of foods with artificial chemicals, artificial ingredients, artificial colorings, and preservatives. Every artificial substance that you bring into your body will have a direct impact on your liver. Take the time to read labels and find alternatives. At least 80% of the food you currently eat could be replaced by food items that are free of artificial substances. This first step is critical for proper liver support.
Step 2 – Increase your water intake. This becomes even more important if you diet, fast, or exercise because the fat-soluble toxins that were stored in your fat cells are going to be released back into your system. Your liver will have to process these fat-soluble toxins and convert them into water-soluble products that your body can eliminate through bile and urine. If you’re dehydrated then you will slow down this process. It’s estimated that 75% of Americans have mild, chronic dehydration.
Step 3 – Increase your fiber intake. The suggested amount of fiber is 25-30 grams of fiber per day. You need fiber to properly absorb bile otherwise the toxins in the bile can be reabsorbed back into your system. Additionally, fiber will help keep your colon clean, help lower cholesterol, and can reduce weight gain by giving you a feeling of fullness.

A Healthy Liver is Key to Effective Aging!

When people want to slow down the aging process maintaining a healthy liver is not something they think about. Usually they think about the health of their heart, skin, and brain. Maybe their lungs or kidneys might come up for discussion.

But how often have you ever thought about your liver!

A couple of weeks ago I was at the Roundhouse in Aurora, IL. This building is the first one like it in America. Built in 1856 to service trains it was abandoned in the 70s. Bought by Walter Payton and a group of investors in 1995 for $10. It was renovated and opened up in 1996.

So what does this have to do with a healthy liver?

Because in 1999, just 3 years later Walter Payton died of liver disease. And being at this facility reminded me of how important a healthy liver is to effective aging.

What Does a Healthy Liver Do?

In researching this article my appreciation and respect for the liver grew exponentially. Your liver is critical to how well you age. It’s an amazing organ. Located in the upper right quadrant of the abdomen, the liver is the largest and most complex organ of the body. It’s responsible for:

Did Tom Brady’s Diet Result In Super Bowl Success

Posted by Dan Hammer //

02/08/2017

How much did Tom Brady’s diet contribute to his, and the New England Patriots, unbelievable comeback win in Super Bowl 51?

Some are saying it was a major factor in helping a 39 year old quarterback, who has been in the league for 17 years, still think and perform like he was in his late 20s.

Here’s what I’ve been able to find on the internet. These are direct statements from his hired chief Allen Campbell:

Highlights of Tom Brady’s Diet

“So 80 percent of what they eat is vegetables. [I buy] the freshest vegetables. If it’s not organic, I don’t use it. And whole grains: brown rice, quinoa, millet, beans. The other 20 percent is lean meats: grass-fed organic steak, duck every now and then, and chicken. As for fish, I mostly cook wild salmon.”

“It’s very different than a traditional American diet. But if you just eat sugar and carbs—which a lot of people do—your body is so acidic, and that causes disease. Tom recently outed Frosted Flakes and Coca-Cola. I love that he did that. Sugar is the death of people.”

One of the top New Year Resolutions that you can make to improve your health would be acts of kindness.

Random acts of kindness have become a hot topic in science and psychology today. And the reason why is that there are multiple studies that demonstrate how compassionate giving and benevolence improve the health of both the giver and the receiver.

To help you understand how acts of kindness can improve your health let’s break this down into two categories. Here’s the first:

Acts of Kindness – Physiological Effects

Here’s a list of the physiological benefits that your body will derive when you engage in acts of kindness. When you see this list, I hope it encourages you to make it a daily goal to engage in a random act of kindness for both you and the receiver. Both will enjoy health benefits.
