Over the years it’s always been perfectly acceptable for men to let their hair go gray. In fact, men with salt-and-pepper hair are called “distinguished.” Women, on the other hand, are more often referred to as “older” or “matronly.”

And even though most people associate gray hair with aging, some women can see gray hair as early as in their teens.

To simplify the “sciency” details of why your hair turns gray, here’s what happens:

You have cells called melanocytes that become defective or die off. These are the cells that produce the pigment known as melanin that give your skin and hair its color. Genetics, vitamin B12 deficiency, thyroid disorders, smoking and vitiligo (a skin condition that causes loss of pigment) are just a few things that can cause your hair to lose its natural color.

Severe stress can contribute to your graying hair as well, because it contributes to free radical damage. “Graying could be a result of chronic free radical damage,” says Ralf Paus, professor of dermatology at the University Hospital Schleswig-Holstein in Lubeck, Germany.

According to the book, Beauty Bias: Discrimination and Social Power by Bonnie Berry (Praeger, July 30, 2007), “Three out of four middle-aged women color their gray hair as do 13 percent of middle-aged men.”

But have no fear. Scientists have been working on the antidote for gray hair for years.

In fact, scientists at French cosmetics company L’Oreal have already identified the genes that may play a key role in gray hair, and they’ve been working on a treatment. “We could be talking about a pill or we could be talking about a topical treatment,” says Dr. Bruno Bernard, the lead researcher in this study.

Whether you color your hair or let nature take its course is a personal decision. Only you can decide what’s right for you.

Have a Youthful Day,

1. Exfoliate. For starters, it helps to gently exfoliate your skin one to three times a week. This will smooth out your skin’s texture and make it easier to apply your makeup.
2. Moisturize. Hydrated skin is happy skin!
3. Use the right brushes. You’ll need a concealer brush, a round or flat-topped kabuki brush, and a finishing brush. The right brush really makes a difference.
4. Sometimes less is more. Some mineral makeup brands are highly pigmented, so you might need less than you think. Try using a dime-sized amount at a time.
5. Let the minerals “warm up” to your skin. The first time you apply mineral foundation, it might not look like a match right away. But give it a few minutes to adapt to your skin tone. It works with the natural oils in your skin, and after a short wait, transforms into a beautiful, smooth finish.
6. Pat to conceal. To get the best coverage on problem areas, use a concealer brush to press (not rub) a very small amount of the foundation directly where you need it.
7. Add serum for flawless under-eye coverage. For a creamier consistency, apply a small amount of your favorite anti-aging serum or moisturizer to your brush and then dip it into your foundation. Blend it on the back of your hand and apply. This works particularly well for dark circles.

Shield your face from damage.

On a trip to the Peruvian Amazon, I “accidentally” discovered a natural skin

beautifier that’s unknown to the outside world.

You won’t find it in any department store or hear about it on any daytime talk show.

The story of how I found it would make a good adventure novel… but the results I’ve seen with my patients are remarkable.

I have good reason to believe this could be the best skin beautifier and anti-aging tonic in the world.

It has the ability to visibly reduce the appearance of wrinkles, blemishes, and keep your face and hands supple and baby soft.

Today I’ll show you how you can be one of the first to watch lines, wrinkles, blemishes and age spots fade away. You’ll see rough, tired skin become smooth to reveal a softer, younger face underneath.

Glide your hand across your face and you’ll feel a firm, silky, youthful texture… look into your bathroom mirror and you’ll find younger, more beautiful appearing skin. The kind you haven’t seen in years.

I Went to Peru in Search of Healing Herbs…
What I Found Will Make You Look Years Younger

The women of Peru keep an extraordinary beauty secret.

There we were, having coffee in a small mountain town, high above the Amazon basin. Maggie, my Peruvian friend, was telling us about her career as a polo player and show jumper.

Someone at the table remarked, “How do you stay looking so good when you’re always outdoors…"

That’s when she let it slip.

“There’s something we have in this country that keeps our skin looking young. Without it I’d look like an old hag.”

The women at the table all sat up a little straighter, waiting for her to say more.

But Maggie just sat there with a grin on her face and took another sip of café au lait.

Sue, my American friend, was about to burst.

“Are you going to tell us what it is… or do I have to guess?”

“Caracol Bella.”

Sue looked at Maggie, waiting for a translation.

“It’s a natural remedy. It soothes your skin and locks in moisture. In fact, it can fade the appearance of the ugly things old age does to your face. Like I said, I would look like a hag without it.”

Sue was hooked.

And I was intrigued. Could these lovely South American women really hold the secret to soft and beautiful skin?

Later that afternoon I asked Maggie for more details. Turns out, women have been using this healing serum for about 15 years. Yet here in the United States, no one has access to it, or even knows about it.

How the 5-Star Restaurants of Paris
Led to a Remarkable Discovery

Back in 1980, a family in Chile made a startling find.

The dry, withered hands of their farm workers suddenly became incredibly soft.

On their farm, they raised escargot for export to the famous restaurants and bistros of Paris.

Handling the snails had a rejuvenating effect on their skin.

After 15 years of research, the first serum hit the market. Today it’s the best-kept beauty secret in the world.

How does it work?

The escargot, a variety known as Cryptomphalus aspersa, produce an enzyme that seals in moisture and supports young, beautiful skin.

Escargot use this enzyme as a kind of shield when they hibernate.

When the farm workers handled them, they found their skin softened, regenerated … and the appearance of spots and blemishes faded away.

Women like Maggie have been using this formula for years to protect their skin and keep them looking young.

I was so impressed by the results, I arranged to bring Caracol Bella here to the United States.

And There’s Clinical Evidence to Back It Up…

The journal Skin Pharmacology and Physiology published a study confirming the rejuvenating benefits.¹

U.S. and European researchers collaborated on a landmark study showing the molecular basis for this remarkable substance.

They concluded the enzymes found in Caracol Bella:

• Possess skin-regenerative properties
• Contain powerful antioxidants to fight skin damage
• Provide cellular regeneration

I’ve seen these results first hand.

Here’s what some of my patients are saying:

“I’ve already noticed a change to my face in softness and smoothness. I’m loving it! Also, it seems my cheeks aren’t as red as usual. I have lots of capillaries over my cheeks that make my cheeks look irritated with the redness, so I have to use makeup to hide them. They don’t seem as red as they have for the past 20 years. All in all, I am really liking this. I’m 57 and am always looking for something to ease the redness of my face and help keep my skin smooth and soft and combat any future wrinkles. I think I’ve found what I need in Caracol Bella. Thank you!!” -Nancy C.

“I’m amazed at how well Caracol Bella works. I’ve used it on my c-section scar for just 4 weeks and already I see great results. I also like the way it feels. It goes on cool and clean, not greasy or oily. And it smells fresh. I’ll definitely keep using it.” -Arlene M.

Powerful Antioxidants Shield Your Face From Damage

The study on the serum found in Caracol Bella showed it has powerful antioxidants, especially SOD. This “primary” antioxidant helps keep your face beautiful, even under the harshest conditions. It’s also your best chance at keeping a fresh, taut face that projects a clean, warm glow.

The researchers discovered that when the serum was applied twice a day for three months, signs of environmental stress were reduced significantly.²

SOD is a powerful antioxidant that helps fight free radical damage, helping your skin to look its best. That’s why the clinical results are so impressive. SOD is the first antioxidant to attack harmful “superoxide radicals” by transforming them into less reactive ions.

Caracol Bella triggers an orchestrated and well-rounded support of your skin, while at the same time protecting you even in the harshest environments.

But there’s another beautifier at play here…

Lock in Moisture to Keep Your Skin Firm and Tight

Caracol Bella provides your skin with one of the most important nutrients for beautiful skin: hyaluronic acid (HA).

HA is a hallmark of youth. Like water, HA hydrates your skin and gives your skin cells shape and structure. When you’re young and levels of HA are high, your face looks and feels smooth and tight. Your face has a clean, youthful shape.

But as you age, and levels of HA drop, your skin cells lose their structure. And when they start to collapse, your face starts to sag and droop.

HA has the amazing ability to hold vast amounts of water, absorbing around 1,000 times its weight in water. It enhances volume and elasticity to restore a youthful balance to your face.

And that’s exactly what your skin needs.

Without enough moisture, your skin becomes loose, dry and wrinkled, adding years to your age. But when your skin has enough HA, all that water plumps up your skin for a fuller, younger appearance.

When you use it topically, significant results can occur. That’s because your skin can absorb HA at a cellular level. Unlike some other moisturizers that simply sit on the top of your skin, HA sinks into the deeper levels of your skin tissue.

It also acts as a “carrier,” delivering all of the anti-aging ingredients in Caracol Bella deeply into your cells to create youthful skin that no store-bought product can match.3

HA on its own would be enough to make Caracol Bella an amazing find.

But the beautifying qualities of the serum, combined with its powerful antioxidants and HA, make Caracol Bella worthy of its near legendary status in South America.

And unless you travel to South America, there’s no way to get anything like it.

So let me make this easy for you.

Most doctors won’t tell you about it. But when this system is working right, you’ll:

• feel more energized
• have a positive frame of mind
• have better concentration
• sleep soundly
• eliminate mood swings
• think more clearly
• have fewer food cravings
• maintain a healthy weight

The problem is, the modern world causes you to overuse it. Your ancestors had only brief periods of stress, lasting a few minutes at a time. Today, you are constantly being assaulted by stressors that can last for days, or years.

But your body wasn’t built for that. The system your body uses to deal with stress – your adrenal system – didn’t evolve to be in a constant state of activity.

And that’s why we have the modern problem of what I call “adrenal burnout.”

The solution to adrenal burnout involves two simple steps I’ll show you in a minute.

But first let me reassure you… it’s healthy for your body to go through the occasional ups and downs of daily stress responses. They’re normal and you may not even know they’re happening.

What’s not always healthy is that our brains can be too powerful for our own good. We worry, we try to plan… we have stressors that can last for weeks, months, even years. A good example is a 30-year mortgage. That’s 30 years of anxiety right there.

What’s worse is that if you go to your doctor with symptoms of adrenal burnout, chances are they won’t know what’s causing it.

In medical school, they are only taught to look for extreme adrenal malfunction. Either Addison’s Disease, which is when the adrenal glands don’t produce enough of the hormone cortisol, or Cushing’s Syndrome, which is when they make too much cortisol.

And only these extremes are considered abnormal. Everything else is considered “normal.” Yet adrenal burnout happens to 15 percent of people on either end of the testing.

That means your adrenal glands could be working far from normally, but most mainstream doctors won’t even recognize that you have a problem.

The good news is, you can completely reverse adrenal burnout in two easy steps, and have all the energy, enthusiasm and relaxed, confident happiness you were built for.

Step 1) Turn back the clock: In a groundbreaking study, researchers took muscle samples from young adults and older adults. The older group exerted themselves intensely three times per week.

Here’s what happened …

Before exercise training, the older adults were 59 percent weaker than the younger adults. After several weeks, the older individuals were able to improve muscle strength by around 50 percent.

But here’s something even more remarkable: After exercise training, their muscle tissue was re-energized from a cellular level. In fact, most of the genes that express aging were reversed back to younger levels!¹

This study gives us new insight into the role of exertion and keeping the vitality of youth. Because strong muscles maintain adrenal production.

But there’s a catch: Long, drawn-out endurance exercise like marathon running or aerobics will only drain your energy and further wear out your adrenal glands.

That’s why I recommend P.A.C.E. workouts. P.A.C.E. is the opposite of aerobics because it reprograms your metabolism to re-energize you from the inside, just like the people in the study.

In fact, my new P.A.C.E. Express program shows you what and when to eat, and how to work out to rebuild the lean, energetic body you were meant to have.

P.A.C.E. Express gives you specific workouts that are easy to follow along so you can get back to living stress-free like your body was designed for. Click here to see more.

Step 2) Take time out for yourself. Participate in a meditative practice like yoga or tai chi to release any pent up stress and emotions.

These were the tools the ancients used to slow their brain waves and feel a sense of calm and joy.

In fact, simple yoga breathing can help. It’s a technique I learned from a yoga master when I was in India. It balances your adrenal hormones and makes you relax and recuperate.

Before you begin, sit in a comfortable spot, and control your breathing. Concentrate on taking deep breaths, in and out.

1. Empty your lungs until there’s no more air. Exhale completely. Force out every drop.
2. Inhale deeply for at least a slow count of 4. Fill your lungs until you can’t inhale any more.
3. Hold your breath for at least a slow count of 7. Anticipating the exhalation like this creates a calming and rebalancing effect.
4. Now exhale for at least a slow count of 8. Empty your lungs fully, then push out any remaining air. This is the part we usually forget, but it’s the most crucial. As you exhale, you will feel yourself relax.

By adding this exercise to your daily routine you’ll not only boost your immune system, you’ll also effectively deal with problems like stress, anxiety and isolation that cause adrenal burnout.

To Your Good Health,

Al Sears, MD

My best advice is to stay away from chemical-laden pills, potions and hair-growth treatments.

If you want your hair to be thick, strong and shiny, here’s what you need to know…

First, you need biotin. Research shows that biotin promotes hair growth, strength and manageability by increasing elasticity and thickening the cuticle.¹

Biotin, especially when combined with niacinamide, helps to prevent cholesterol from collecting on the scalp – which can trigger the formation of dihydrotestosterone (DHT). This naturally produced metabolite can weaken your hair follicles. Articum majus root also helps to block DHT.

At my clinic, I have a solution I’ve used with my patients. I’ve seen their hair look silkier and more lush and full than ever before.

It’s called Infuse, and it’s packed with biotin, niacinamide, articum majus root, plus the following ingredients:

• Fenugreek – Traditional Chinese medicine has used Fenugreek for more than 2,000 years. Fenugreek can stimulate your blood circulation and promote the appearance of a full head of thick hair.
• Panax Ginseng Root – This increases scalp stimulation, enhancing hair depth and thickness.
• Arginine, acetyl tyrosine, citrulline and ornithine HCL – These amino acids are the building blocks of hair structure.
• Zinc Gluconate – This nutrient teams with the B vitamins in Infuse to block DHT.

Studies on Infuse show it results in thicker, stronger, silkier, shinier hair. It also helps to diminish scalp irritation.

One of my patients told me, “Before Infuse, I just couldn’t get over my thinning hair. It seemed that my hair was going down the drain every morning in the shower. Now my hair has more body than ever, and it’s no longer going down the drain.”*

Infuse your hair today without drugs or harmful chemicals.

To Your Good Health,

Al Sears, MD

P.S. As a special thank you, I’ve arranged to send you a FREE Pure Radiance Natural Comb with every order of Infuse for a limited time. This hand-crafted wood comb ($11.97 value) helps you massage, condition and add shine to your hair every time you comb it.

*Results not typical.

And you shouldn’t either.

In most cases, dark circles aren’t caused by a medical problem. And the solution is usually quick and easy.

For me they show up when I’m not getting enough rest.

When you don’t get enough quality sleep, it can cause your body to become stressed. This can affect the way your body absorbs vitamins from food and any supplements you take. The simplest solution is to sleep more if you can. Strive for seven to nine hours a night. If you can’t dedicate that much time, see if you can sneak a few cat naps into your schedule. In a couple weeks, you’ll start noticing a difference.

Another cause could be strain on your eyes. Sitting by a computer for most of the day, reading… even watching television can cause your eyes to become tired and strained. And if you do this for too long, you’ll start noticing the “tired” look and dark circles. If you think strain may be your problem, make sure you take a break from your close-up work every 10 minutes or so. Look at something far away and try to focus. This will help keep your eyes relaxed.

If you don’t notice improvement with these suggestions, it’s possible you could have an allergy that’s causing the discoloration. If you think it’s an allergic reaction, talk to your doctor. In most cases, your best bet is to remove as many potential allergens from your home, car and workplace as you can.

Think outside the box, too. The culprit could be chemicals in your cleaning supplies, an air freshener in your bathroom or your pet’s flea collar.

You can also fight the allergic reaction by eating lots of fresh, organic fruits and vegetables, and taking a probiotics supplement. When you take probiotic, you stimulate your immune system so your body can resist an allergic response. You can find a supplement at your local health-food store. Ten to 20 billion CFUs daily should do the trick.

To help reduce the appearance of your dark circles right away, here are some simple treatments you can try:

• Cucumbers. Take a refrigerated cucumber and cut it into thin slices (one for each eye). Then lie back and place the slices on each eye for 10 minutes. The coolness will help reduce inflammation and lighten the skin under your eye. It may sound cliché, but it works!
• Cooled, used tea bags. Take a used tea bag after it’s cooled (black, green or white) and apply it to the skin under your eyes. You may have to lie back if you can’t get them to stick. Leave them on for 10 minutes.
• Spoons. That’s right, spoons. Take two teaspoons and pop them into the refrigerator for an hour or two. Then lie back and place the cooled spoons under your eyes for about 10 minutes. Not only does it help reduce the dark coloration, it also feels refreshing!

Salt water is very healthy for your skin. Because salt is a natural exfoliator.

Normally, your skin will have a buildup of dead skin cells that can cause a rough, dull, dry, and aged appearance.

It can even make you look older by accentuating any cracks on your skin’s surface.

Getting rid of this old layer, called exfoliation, reveals the newest skin layer that’s underneath and gives you a youthful glowing look. It also gives you other benefits like:

• Thoroughly cleans skin pores
• Allows your skin to breathe easier
• Stimulates blood circulation
• Removes toxins from your skin
• Helps to regenerate new skin
• Keeps your skin looking younger
• Strengthens and firms skin tissue

I believe that the best way to get optimum health for any part of your body, including your skin, is to mimic nature as closely as possible. That’s why I feel that one of the best ways to care for the largest organ in your body – your skin – is with an occasional salt scrub.

Rubbing your skin with salt allows the texture of the salt to exfoliate and refine your skin, leaving it clean and refreshed.

The salt grains also cleanse your pores better than a soap or cleanser can, giving you brighter-looking, smoother skin.

If you want to exfoliate with a salt scrub, you can:

1. Make Your Own: Mix 2 parts salt to one part light oil (like olive oil or sweet almond oil) and gently rub any skin surface you want to exfoliate.

   You can use table salt, if you want. But I think it’s best to use sea salt. That way, it will have all the minerals and nutrients salt is supposed to have, so your skin can benefit from them, too. Also, avoid using “mineral” oil, as it’s made from petroleum products.

2. Buy a Quality Scrub. For these, it’s important to look at the label. To cleanse your skin, it’s best to have as few ingredients as possible.

And remember that even some products labeled “organic” might have ingredients that you don’t necessarily want in your salt scrub. For example, safflower oil and “natural” vitamin E, can be derived from genetically modified sunflower seeds and corn.

Be sure you haven’t just shaved if you’re going to exfoliate with salt. That way you won’t have any nicks or cuts… after all, you don’t want to rub salt on an open wound.

If your skin is sensitive, use salt of the finest grain you can find so it’s less abrasive but still effective.

To Your Good Health,

This is one of the most common questions I get asked here at Dr. Sears’ wellness clinic, especially from women. With the way things are in the modern world, I don’t blame them for being concerned.

Your bones are under constant assault from toxins. Air pollution, cosmetics and even tap water can have any number of poisons in them, especially metals like lead, cadmium and aluminum which are very toxic for your bones.

The good news is, with five simple steps, you can help your body get rid of these toxins and keep your bones healthy and strong.

Why is it so important to eliminate these metals?

Well, lead will commonly store itself in your bones, displacing calcium. It also limits calcium absorption by disrupting the way you make vitamin D. This can give you weak bones and prevent vitamin D from doing its bone-building job. As your bones break down, especially after menopause, lead can be released and reenter the body.

Cadmium can increase bone mineral loss and change the way your body metabolizes calcium. Too much cadmium can also lead to osteoporosis and an increase in bone fractures.

When you have too much aluminum, it also keeps your body from absorbing calcium. This interferes with bone mineralization and production of bone-supporting proteins like collagen.

Your body is equipped to handle a small amount of these metals and eliminate them from your system. Unfortunately, there’s more than there used to be, and it can overwhelm your ability to eliminate them the way your body normally would.

The good news is, you can help your body overcome this modern body burden. You can get rid of these toxins and increase your bone density naturally at the same time.

All you have to do is follow what we at the clinic like to refer to as a “bone-building lifestyle.”

Here’s what I tell the women who come into the center:

Step 1 – Go Out in the Sunshine. Vitamin D is critical to bone health. And your skin uses sunlight to make it. Vitamin D regulates and assists in calcium absorption, helps maintain your immune system, regulates energy metabolism, muscle strength and coordination, and helps reduce inflammation. These are all important to building strong bones.

Do your best to spend at least 10-15 minutes in direct sunlight every day. If you can’t because of the area you live in, you can supplement with Vitamin D3.

Step 2 – Take the Test. Here at the clinic we perform a test that measures the heavy metals in your body. If the results come back high, we put our patients on a detox program to help get rid of them. The outcomes have been amazing. Patients start feeling better almost immediately!

Step 3 – Move Your Body. To improve the strength of your bones, try weight-bearing exercises like walking, Pilates or calisthenics. PACE is a great one. Keep in mind that weight-bearing means that gravity is involved, so swimming, in this case, does not work so well.

Step 4 – Water Yourself. Start off your day with a big glass of water. This simple step can really help your body’s systems get rid of toxins naturally. Stick to natural spring water or filtered water.

Step 5 – Feed Your Bones. Eat bone-boosting foods that are high in calcium, magnesium and vitamin K. See the chart below for specific examples. Steer clear of foods high in sugar and refined grains, and avoid processed foods in addition to limiting your caffeine intake.

Foods That Boost Your Bone Health

But I was still surprised to see what my new friends in Bali, Lelir and Westi, had made us for dinner. I expected them to eat like birds, but every single dish on the table was rich, creamy or sweet.

My first bite of bubuh injun had me wondering how in the world the Balinese stay so slim.

I’d just flown halfway around the world to see for myself if what I’d been reading about could possibly be true: Could they eat as much rich food as they want throughout Bali and still stay naturally thin?

I may have found the answer hiding in Lelir and Westi’s everyday routines. It’s a fat-melting flower that’s one of Bali’s best-kept secrets.

And the truth was even better than I imagined.

You see, Bali is a place that doesn’t give up its secrets easily. After centuries of being invaded and conquered by hostile nations, the Balinese have become fiercely protective of their culture.

That might be why so few people know the full story behind one of their most celebrated treasures.

They call it sacred lotus (Nelumbo nucifera). I saw its large, pink petals blooming above the surface of freshwater ponds. A few times I saw peddlers selling its unusual fruit, which grows right in the center of the flower and looks like the spout of a watering can. But most of the time I saw it carved into intricate stone statues outside of Hindu temples.

The sacred lotus accelerates the breakdown of fat, essentially draining it right out of your fat cells.

Westi told me that the sacred lotus represents divine beauty and purity, and has symbolic importance in the Hindu religion, which most Balinese practice.

Although it seemed to be everywhere I went on the island, very few outsiders know what this beautiful flower can really do.

The sacred lotus may hold the key to helping you achieve accelerated fat reduction.

Researchers were able to see this at work in a recent animal study. They found that sacred lotus appears to have slowed down the animals’ natural process of making new fat cells…and signaled for the breakdown of existing fat at the same time.¹

Sacred lotus seems to specifically target fatty tissue. It helped keep the animals from gaining more weight – and many even dropped weight.

Another animal study suggested that sacred lotus interfered with the body’s digestion and absorption of fat and carbs. At the same time, it accelerated the breakdown of fat and helped the body melt it faster.²

These preliminary results are very exciting and I anticipate that human clinical trials will show a similar benefit. The results look very promising in my opinion.

Imagine what a relief it would be if this fat-melting flower could have the same effect for you… making it even easier to drop weight when you add it to the efforts you already make to melt off those excess pounds.

But that was only the first slimming secret I uncovered in Bali. My friends Lelir and Westi had the second one growing right in their own backyard, a treasured spice that shuts down fat cells.

My friend, herbalist Ni Wayan Lelir, shows me the turmeric root she uses in her daily tonic.

I wasn’t surprised when Ni Wayan Lelir (pronounced Nee Why-an Lee-leer) told me, “We don’t like to go to doctors. We don’t need chemicals. We use the herbs surrounding us. Like for immune health, we use turmeric.”

Lelir is a fifth-generation herbalist from a long family tradition of natural healers, called Balians. She learned the art of Jamu medicine from her mother and grandmother, and has spent years developing formulas in her workshop that you can’t get anywhere else. Her husband, named I Made Westi (Eye Mah-dee West-ee), is an agriculturalist and herbalist, and he oversees their incredible herb garden.

People come to Lelir and Westi’s herb shop for nearly everything you can think of; immune-strengthening teas, detoxifying tonics, skin soothers… even organic cocoa butter and lip balm.

But while I was there, I didn’t see one person come in asking for help with their weight. They don’t need to. There’s no sure way to know why this is true, but the speculation is that it’s because of what they eat.

This includes eating powerful roots like the turmeric many of them get every day from Lelir’s “Jamu” formulas (Jamu means herbal healing in Javanese). And they cook with turmeric too.

Westi took me to see the turmeric plants in his garden, growing on a huge plot of land tucked away in the jungle high in the mountains near his home town of Ubud. There were at least 6 different kinds of turmeric there, in rows as far as I could see.

Westi shows me row after row of turmeric growing in his herb garden in the lush tropical forests of Bali.

I’d already known about turmeric’s power to support immune health and promote proper inflammatory response. But I suspected there was something else at work in this plant.

Turns out that the active component in turmeric, called curcumin, is also thermogenic – it may help increase metabolic rate! Think of it like turning up the heat in your cells. The temperature goes up and the fat is converted into energy.

Back in my Florida office, I found an eye-opening study from the USDA’s Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University.

When they gave animals curcumin and a fat-inducing diet for 12 long weeks, the obese mice actually shed weight!³ It seems the curcumin “induced apoptosis of adipocytes.” It caused the death of fat cells.

No wonder there’s no word for “diet” in Bali.

But shedding excess fat is only part of being able to reduce weight. Another component has to do with reducing hunger.

And when I traveled to India, I learned something from a long tradition of tribal hunting that’s virtually unknown in the West. There’s an ancient cactus that can give you iron willpower.

Tribal hunters in India know a little something about controlling their appetites.

They go away on hunting trips for a week at a time and they only bring a few handfuls of an unusual edible cactus with them as food.⁴

These hunters know that they’ll be traveling great distances in harsh conditions, and all of their supplies have to be carried on their backs. They have to carry all of their water, too, so there’s not much space for pounds of food. And despite all of these forces working against them, these hunters aren’t fatigued. They are energized and focused on the success of the expedition.

The cactus makes it much easier for them. In fact, they’ve been relying on it for hundreds of years.

It’s called Caralluma fimbriata, and its nickname is “famine food.” Not only does this cactus suppress the appetite, it gives you the feeling of being satisfied and full. Even better, it also increases endurance and quenches thirst.

Instead of struggling to adhere to a strict diet, this cactus makes it easier for you to feel satisfied. It could reduce your hunger and help get you through that hungry period after you eat smaller meals.

When you combine this ancient cactus with the potential fat-melting power of sacred lotus and turmeric…you have a triple-action formula you can use as part of your effort to become the slim, sexy, confident person you’ve always wanted to be.

I couldn’t wait to get the word out about these remarkable herbs from around the world. I started working on a new formula right away that would bring Bali’s secret home to you—and just in time for the New Year.

I call this new weight-reduction formula Bali Slim… and it just became available for the first time.

I think you’ll find it to be a powerful and helpful way to melt off unwanted fat and help put the brakes on hunger.

But I wouldn’t consider making Bali Slim without adding a certain mineral that I use with my patients. I’ve published dozens of articles on it and I believe it’s essential for any weight-reduction plan.

In fact, it works without you having to do much of anything.

I’m talking about the mineral chromium. It helps promote balanced blood sugar levels which may help control your appetite, and help manage food cravings, especially for sweets. It also has the ability to carry protein where your body needs it most, helping your body choose to build muscle over storing fat.⁵

Chromium plays an essential role in the metabolism of carbohydrates and fats and has been shown to promote cardiovascular health.

Dr. Gilbert Kaats and a team of researchers from the Health and Medical Research Foundation and the University of Texas Health Science Center studied over 150 people to see if they could improve their body composition by taking chromium.

The people were told not to change anything else… just take chromium.

After three months, the group taking the placebo showed no changes. The chromium group shed between 3.4 and 4.6 pounds of body fat.⁶ In addition, the chromium group gained an average of 1.4 pounds of lean muscle.

I’ve experienced similar benefits at my clinic.

And combined with the weight-reduction herbs I discovered in Bali, I believe you have an excellent addition to your weight-reduction efforts.

Based on my experience, I can tell you that adding Bali Slim is one of the best ways to get a lean, attractive body.

But with a few tips on choosing the best fat-melting foods, you can also get better results from Bali Slim with a simple secret I give my patients.

Bali Slim can help shrink your fat cells and take your mind off hunger. But what about the foods you eat every day?

Bali Slim works best when you eat smart and follow the fat-blasting shortcut that I’ve shown my patients.

All you have to do is pay attention to the glycemic load.

You’ve probably heard the word “glycemic” before, and maybe you’ve even heard of something called the “glycemic index.”

But there’s a difference between the “index” and the “load.”

The glycemic index (GI) measures how quickly foods break down into sugar in your bloodstream. High-glycemic foods like carbohydrates turn into blood sugar very quickly.

Blood sugar that your body can’t or won’t process gets stored as fat. So it’s foods with excess carbs that can make you fat.

The idea is to eat foods that don’t spike your blood sugar. The GI helps with that, but it won’t tell you how much carbohydrate per serving you’re getting.

That’s where the glycemic load (GL) comes in. The GL makes it a lot easier to shed weight and keep it off by helping you choose foods that deliver a smaller load of carbs.

That makes it much more practical for your everyday life because the GL tells you how fattening a food is.

But the best part is, you won’t feel like you’re depriving yourself. It’s a way to eat smart, and help you know which of your favorite foods can assist in your efforts to slim down.

For example, here’s a tip that will help you build a better sandwich: Cheddar cheese and pumpernickel bread have a much lower glycemic load than Swiss cheese and a Kaiser roll.

I’ve put together an easy-to-use chart that will show you lots of simple swaps like these.

I’ve included this chart, along with more of my best strategies for melting fat, in my three-part, special-edition New Year’s Resolution Kit: How to Become the Sexiest Person You Know in 2012. In this kit, I show you exactly how to use the glycemic load. You’ll find many of your favorite foods on it!
