Homocysteine: One of the Best Objective Markers of How Healthy You Are

Posted By Dr. Ben Kim

As a general marker of overall health status, few tests carry greater predictive weight than homocysteine.
The amount of homocysteine in your blood is one of the best objective indicators of how healthy you are and how long you are going to live.
A high blood level of homocysteine is a reliable risk factor for each of the following:

• Myocardial infarction (heart attack)
• Cerebrovascular accident (stroke)
• Cancer
• Diabetes
• Thyroid-related health challenges
• Neurological conditions like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's
• Depression
• Infertility
• Chronic Pain
• Digestive Disorders

Creating Positive Health: It’s More Than Risk Reduction

Wouldn’t it be great if health and wellness professionals looked for the causes of a better life and higher productivityinstead of the causes of problems? It seems current health professionals have a greater focus on disease and problems than health, well-being, and success.

Today, many think of health as pictured by John Travis’ 1970s Illness–Wellness Continuum that showed early death on one side and high-level wellness on the other (Travis and Ryan, 2004). Even so, to day’s approach to health and wellness is still based on what is wrong, instead of what is right. Pathogenesis, the scientific study of disease origins, has created this focus. Pathogenesis, which measures health by the incidence of problems, has guided the efforts of today’s health professionals.

Success with this approach therefore becomes a return to the status quo through the avoidance or elimination of problems and/or deaths rather than the creation of desired positive outcomes beyond the absence of disease.

Eating a More Alkaline Diet for Bone Health

For several years, there has been discussion about the influence foods can have on the acid-alkaline balance (or pH level) of blood in the body and on health, especially bone health. The theory is that a diet consisting mostly of food metabolized to acids—such as protein, processed foods, and cereals—may increase the acidity of blood. To counteract this change in pH, alkaline calcium compounds may leach from bones making them weak and brittle.
Thus, the dietary advice would be to eat a diet high in alkaline-producing foods—such as fruits and vegetables, which are metabolized to alkaline bicarbonates—to maintain a healthy pH level and preserve bone mass and density.

You Did WHAT With That Lead???

By Joy Gendusa, CEO PostcardMania

 

So, I’m in the market for awnings for my new kitchen windows. We searched online for companies that sell them, and found a decent number through their PPC ads. So we called a few of them. With advertising, these companies were on equal footing. They all achieved a call-in from us. But here’s the thing: only one of these companies capitalized on the lead. The rest wasted the marketing dollars spent getting us as a lead.
Here’s the difference…
