Are Your Bones Under Attack?

“How are my bones?”

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.

5 Steps To Supermodel Slim

It’s so great to see supermodels these days who are healthy-looking and not stick-thin.

Sure, some models starve themselves to stay thin, but what about the rest of them? I wanted to know their secrets.

So I started doing a little research and stumbled upon some of the best-kept secrets in the modeling industry. And they all had one thing in common… boosting your metabolism.

Calcium is everywhere these days. It’s hard to get away from it even if you try. They put it in bread, milk, orange juice, pasta, yogurt, toothpaste, chewing gum, snack crackers and granola bars… it’s even in your water, depending on where you live.

That’s a lot of calcium.

Even with all that calcium, modern medical doctors and health “experts” will tell you that as a woman, it’s important for you to take a calcium supplement to keep your bones strong and healthy.

But there’s something you should know before you eat another chewable or swallow another capsule.

“Did I tell you he gave me a knife?”

“What is it? Like, a machete?”

My marketing manager C.S. knew I’d been hacking my way through the jungles of Bali.

“It’s called a Bali knife. It’s cooler than a machete. It’s like half knife, half hatchet. It’s got a big thick blade and a heavy handle to balance it out.”

“How’d you get that home?” she joked.

Of course, I just put it in my suitcase and checked it on the plane. I’m sure glad I didn’t put it in my carry-on and forget I had it in there. They’d probably still have me in Bali …

The Beauty of Breakfast

Busy schedules affect the way we eat, but here are some statistics to “chew on.” Nearly four in ten adults usually skip breakfast, what’s been called “the most important meal of the day.” More than half of the breakfasts eaten by Americans every day are consumed in10 minutes or less – usually alone – which is kind of surprising, since breakfast was rated the second-favorite meal of the day, after dinner, in a survey.

Discover Your Skin’s New Best Friend

Antioxidants have certainly generated a buzz in the media lately. And for good reason. These powerful defenders give your skin the protection it needs to fight against free radicals on a day-to-day basis.

And this protection is exactly what you need to keep your skin smooth and firm — no matter what your age. In fact, antioxidants could be the reason why one 50-year-old woman can have smooth skin and another can have wrinkles that make her look many years older.

3 Simple Steps to a Younger You

People ask me how I’m “aging so gracefully,” and I tell them I’m not. I’m simply not aging. Aging gracefully means buying into the myth that you can’t do anything about getting older. But you can.

Fighting the effects of time doesn’t have to be a full-time job, either. Chances are you can reverse the effects of time, weather and pollution without spending any more energy on your appearance than you do now.

And you don’t have to spend a fortune on spa treatments, designer cosmetics or surgery. In fact, you can start with 3 simple steps. Here’s how…

Eat Your Way to Beautiful Skin

Wrinkles aren’t just about getting older. Wrinkles can be a sign of more serious inner issues, like dehydration or even a vitamin or mineral deficiency.

When your body isn’t getting the nutrients it needs, your skin will suffer. In many cases, skin begins to wrinkle before its time because it’s starved for nutrition!

By focusing on your inner health, you can improve your appearance. Instead of searching for the perfect anti-aging product to transform your skin, eating fresh, nutritious, and delicious foods will improve your inner health and the quality of your skin at the same time.

This Superhero Fruit Detoxifies

Did you know eating a simple grapefruit can help you melt fat, detoxify your body and control your blood-sugar levels?

That’s why this multipurpose fruit is a superhero in the anti-aging world.According to botanists, the grapefruit is an accidental hybrid between the pummelo and the orange. But, no matter how it came into being, I’m just glad it did. Not only is the luscious grapefruit known for its fat-burning enzymes, it also has several other excellent benefits.

Four Things Women Need

Most of the “advice” I see on Dr. Oz and Oprah, in Women’s Health and in the New York Times Magazine on Sunday seem to center on the same things.

These reports I’ve been seeing lately give women advice like suggesting you eat fake, processed “health” foods like flaxseed. But they’re unnatural to your body. People used to wear flax, not eat it.

And animal studies have found that overdose of flaxseed may cause shortness of breath, rapid breathing, weakness or difficulty walking, and may cause seizures or paralysis.1

Too many articles I’ve read also recommend you load up on more calcium that you could ever want or use. Meanwhile, studies show too much calcium puts you at a 31 percent greater risk for heart attack.2
