The Easiest Way to Shave 8 Years Off Your Biologic Age Dr. John Day 2017-03-08 | Would you trade 30 minutes a day to look and feel eight years younger? Based on the latest research, this article will show you the easiest way to shave eight years off your biologic age.The 8 Years Younger StudyIn this study, researchers from the University of California San Diego (UCSD) studied 1,481 people. Their question was simple. What is the least amount of physical activity you need to reverse biological aging.To answer their question, researchers measured the length of telomeres in the white blood cells of these 1,481 people. Telomeres, which are shown in the photo accompanying this article, can be found at the ends of your DNA. Telomeres are like the plastic tips at the end of shoelaces which prevent the shoelaces from unraveling and falling apart.As part of the aging process, these telomeres gradually shorten over the years. When they get too short, your DNA starts to unravel and fall apart. When this happens, heart disease, cancer, or death are near at hand. The key is to always keep your telomeres as long as possible.In order to link physical activity to telomere length, UCSD researchers strapped pedometers to these 1,481 people for one week. They then compared the pedometer data to their telomere length.To read the entire article, visit: http://drjohnday.com/easiest-way-shave-8-years-off-biologic-age
Does meat cause cancer and heart disease? Dr. John Day 2017-02-13 | Does meat cause cancer, heart disease, or an early death? In this article, I will show you how to enjoy meat without any increased risk based on new research.The Harvard Meat StudyMeat studies are difficult to do. These studies often are not very accurate either.This is because health conscientious people tend to eat less meat. If they do eat meat, it is generally fish or poultry.In contrast, people who don’t care much about their health are more likely to eat a meat heavy diet. They also like to load up on red and processed meats. The question is always, was it the meat or their lifestyle that accounted for the increased cancer, heart, and premature death risk.This study was different because the lifestyle variable was taken out of the equation. Specifically, they analyzed the effect of various meats on people with with both a healthy and unhealthy lifestyle.In this latest meat study, Harvard University researchers followed 131,342 people for up to 26 years in hopes of answering the question, does meat cause cancer, heart disease, or an early death.

How to Eliminate Holiday Season Stress Dr. John Day 2016-12-13 | Two in three Americans report holiday season stress, fatigue, and irritability according to the American Psychological Association. This stress may increase your risk of a heart attack by 73% according to a recent study. In this article, I share the one simple thing from a recent study that can completely eliminate holiday season stress for you.How to Eliminate Stress StudyIn this study, Dr. Michael J. Poulin and colleagues from the University of California, Irvine, studied 846 people living in the Detroit, Michigan area. Knowing that stress is associated with heart attacks and premature death, Dr. Poulin and his team wanted to see whether helping others could reverse the life threatening risks of stress.To answer this question, each person in the study underwent an interview in the late 1980s to determine how stressful their lives were, their health problems, and how much time they spent helping others. Dr. Poulin and colleagues then checked in with study participants every five years.As they followed these people over time, they found that those who lived stressful lives were 30% more likely to die a premature death. Quite remarkably, those who reported helping others were not only spared a premature death but actually lived longer.To read the entire article, visit: http://drjohnday.com/how-to-eliminate-the-negative-effects-of-holiday-season-stress

Are Grains Healthy? Dr. John Day 2016-10-05 | While books and websites have demonized grains in every form, the scientific literature does not support this belief. Indeed, in study after study, grains can be healthy provided they are real whole grains. Real whole grains are high in fiber and are not processed.Processed grains, on the other hand, are really just sugar. It’s also pretty clear that processed grains are responsible for much of the obesity crisis, as well as the epidemic of atrial fibrillation, heart failure and diabetes that I see in my cardiology practice every day.Everyone Loves Processed GrainsAfter a five hour winding five hour bus ride through the thick mountain foliage of southwest China, not far from the Vietnam border, we met Fang. When our family arrived it was after midnight and we were in the middle of a torrential downpour.His was the last taxi and he agreed to take us the last hour of the journey to China’s Longevity Village. As part of our conversation, he shared with me that he grew up in China’s Longevity Village and then moved to Bama city as an adult to find work.To read the entire article, visit:http://drjohnday.com/are-grains-healthy-4-things-to-know-about-grains
The Top 3 Dark Chocolate Health Benefits Dr. John Day 2016-09-20 | Could there actually be dark chocolate health benefits? How could something that tastes so good, be good for you? Read on to learn about a medical mystery and the top three health benefits of dark chocolate.Chocolate, High Blood Pressure, and Kuna IndiansIn 1944, an obscure army surgeon, Dr. B. H. Kean, was stationed in the Panama Canal Zone by the U.S. army. While there, he noticed that the Kuna Indians, who lived on the San Blas Islands off the coast of Panama, didn’t get high blood pressure. Even as they aged, their blood pressure still stayed in the very healthy 110/70 mmHg range.Dr. Kean published his observations in 1944, but no one paid attention. In fact, for the next 50 years, his findings lay buried in a medical journal. It wasn’t until the 1990s that Harvard physician and hypertension researcher, Dr. Norman Hollenberg , discovered Dr. Kean’s 1944 article.The Medical Mystery of the San Blas IslandsDr. Hollenberg was an expert in the genetic causes of high blood pressure.

Read on to discover the top three benefits and risks of raw foods based on the latest medical studies.My Raw Food JourneyAt one point in my life, the closest I ever came to raw foods was an occasional bag of carrots or the standard dinner salad. In fact, raw versus cooked was something that was never even on my radar screen.Since my health turn around a few years ago, I now eat raw foods every day.

5 Things Multitasking Does To Your Brain Dr. John Day 2016-08-30 | I had no idea what multitasking does to your brain until I did the unimaginable…I accidently dropped my iPhone into the toilet last weekend.It was literally a race against time to prevent irreversible water damage. I quickly fished my iPhone out of the toilet with my hand, powered it off, dried every aspect of the phone, and waited for the inner components to dry.Life without MultitaskingFor an entire weekend I was without my iPhone. I had to wait for everything to dry. If I was even tempted to turn it on, the inner electronics would likely be forever destroyed.Once I got beyond the initial frustration of dropping my iPhone into the toilet, I started tuning in more to my family.

Get Kids to Eat More Vegetables Dr. John Day 2016-07-26 | Fully 9 in 10 U.S. children need to eat more vegetables. For adults it is no better. As a cardiologist, I have observed that a person’s health is directly tied to how many vegetables they eat. In this article, I share six proven ways to effortlessly get children and adults to eat more vegetables.1. Set an ExampleYour children watch what you eat. Indeed, studies show that, to a large extent, how you eat is how they will eat for the rest of their lives. Any bad eating habits you have may be magnified with your children.Basically, the message of this and countless other studies is that you have to “walk the talk.” If you don’t eat vegetables, then you can’t expect your children to eat vegetables either. As studies show that vegetables eaten during childhood prevent future heart disease and cancer, it is a parent’s responsibility to model healthy eating.To read the entire article, visit: http://drjohnday.com/6-ways-to-get-kids-to-eat-more-vegetables

Proven Natural Home Remedies Dr. John Day 2016-06-02 | 1. Magnesium for Arrhythmias and PalpitationsAs magnesium is found in nuts, seeds, and greens, is it any wonder that up to 89% of Americans are magnesium deficient? The Standard American Diet is very low in magnesium. Magnesium is critical for everything from DNA repair to keeping your heart beating normally.Arrhythmias, or abnormal heart rhythms, are very common. The main symptom of an arrhythmia is heart palpitations.Studies show that one in four adults will experience the most common arrhythmia, atrial fibrillation. Even palpitations from skipped beats (PVCs and PACs) are very common and trouble many people.Besides living as healthy as possible, are there any proven natural home remedies?Let me introduce you to magnesium. As a cardiologist, I have seen countless patients benefit from either increasing the magnesium in their diets or from magnesium supplementation. Unless you suffer from kidney disease, magnesium supplements are generally safe.In a review of 17 medical studies involving 2,069 patients, magnesium supplementation was shown to decrease nearly all arrhythmias following surgery. In particular, the risk of atrial fibrillation was decreased by 29% and ventricular arrhythmias by 48%.To read the entire article, visit: http://drjohnday.com/proven-natural-home-remedies
Top Health Foods to Avoid Dr. John Day 2016-05-17 | Conspiring food manufacturers have blurred the lines between what is real and what is processed. Health foods must be real. To clear the confusion, here are the top 10 supposed health foods to avoid.1. YogurtYogurt is part of any healthy breakfast, right? While yogurt can be healthy, most yogurt options at your local grocery store is anything but healthy.For example, one small Yoplait original strawberry yogurt has 26 grams of sugar. That is more than six teaspoons of sugar.Even worse is that sugar is listed as number two on the ingredient. To put this in perspective, a Twinkie only has 18 grams of sugar.If obesity and diabetes weren’t bad enough, studies show that added sugar is a major cause of heart disease. Fortunately, yogurt can be healthy if there is no added sugar and live bacterial cultures (probiotics) are present.Look for “plain” yogurt and read the ingredient list carefully. You don’t want any added sugar. Likewise, you want live cultures.To read the entire article, visit: http://drjohnday.com/top-10-health-foods-to-avoid
