Metabolic Syndrome Increases As Women Age

Metabolic Syndrome (MSD) increases with menopause thereby increasing the risk of Heart Disease, Stroke, Diabetes, Cancer and premature death. MSD is defined as having 3 or more of the following: high blood pressure, abdominal obesity, high blood sugar, low HDL (good cholesterol), or high triglycerides.

A study in The New England Journal of Medicine concluded this is a direct consequence of hormonal imbalances which also cause hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, vaginal dryness, loss of libido and more.

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is unacceptable because of serious side effects including: Cancer, blood clots, Stroke and Alzheimer’s. It is prudent to help balance hormones naturally thru diet, lifestyle and supplements. This improves the quality of life as well as reduces the risk of MSD.

All Hormones, Including The Pill Are Harmful

Research from the University of Oregon demonstrates how the synthetic hormone progestin (medroxyprogesterone, MPA) decreases endothelial function disrupting normal blood flow. A decrease in function means less elasticity resulting in hardening of the arteries, blood clots, Stroke and dementia.

MPA is also called progesterone and is the active ingredient in PremPro and Provera. These are prescribed for Hormone Replacement Therapy during menopause. MPA is also found in the Depo/Provera shot and other types of oral contraceptives.

Many women take hormones seeking their benefits without questioning their potential for serious harm including death.

Vita Logic Women’s Formula™ is a natural solution without any hormones or side effects. This synergistic blend of 4 herbs helps stabilize hormone levels providing benefits at any age for PMS, menopause and beyond. It is not a contraceptive but does offer an improved quality of life in cases of hormonal swings.*

 

Tall Men Beware

Men 6’3” or taller with Prostate Cancer are more likely to die. As bizarre as it seems a recent study demonstrated this. A study of 34,268 men conducted over an 8 year period observed that in men who had Prostate Cancer, those 6’3 or taller suffered a 39% increased incidence of aggressive and more difficult to cure cancers.

While a man cannot control his height, he can always control his risk of Prostate Cancer. Proper diet including eating more from the plant kingdom and less animal products, coupled with exercise and supplements help maintain prostate health. It is always better to prevent than treat cancer.

Vita Logic Men’s Formula™ is a synergistic blend of green tea extract, saw palmetto and other nutrients proven to nourish and support the prostate thereby improving male sexual performance and reducing cancer risk.*

 

Low Minerals Cause Prostate Enlargement

Numerous studies connect the association of zinc deficiency and prostate enlargement.

The prostate gland without adequate supplementation enlarges with age causing both urinary and sexual dysfunction. Symptoms include frequent urination and decrease in sexual performance and satisfaction.

Two studies document the importance of zinc supplementation in maintaining good prostate health. The first study demonstrated that 73% of men with an enlarged prostate taking zinc supplements for several months experienced shrinkage in gland size. A related study confirmed that zinc supplementation supports the prostate by inhibiting the conversion of testosterone to DHT, the main cause of prostate enlargement.

Clearly supplementation with zinc and other nutrients promote healthy prostate size and function.

Vita Logic Prostate Formula™ is a safe, natural supplement to nourish, support and protect a man’s prostate. It contains zinc as well as other nutrients proven to promote prostate health.*

 

Supplement Improves Memory And Longevity

An analysis of 10 separate placebo controlled studies clearly proves daily vitamin and mineral supplementation improves memory. According to the study published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease, taking a multiple vitamin supplement daily for one month improves mental functioning.

In a related study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition individuals taking a multiple vitamin and mineral slowed the aging process. Telomeres are the DNA at the end of the chromosomes of every cell. These shorten with age causing the aging process. In vitamin users, telomeres were 5.1% longer meaning users were biologically younger than non-vitamin users.

According to the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, only about a third of Americans take a multiple vitamin and mineral daily. Why are we quick to embrace drugs and not supplements? It seems highly probable that if a drug were found to improve memory and slow the aging process, everyone would be taking it.

The evidence is conclusive that taking a multiple vitamin and mineral daily will improve the quality of life and can be called “the fountain of youth”.

Vita Logic Master Vite™ is a comprehensive, complete multiple vitamin and mineral. It is formulated to be taken 3 times a day to spread the nutrients evenly throughout the day. In addition Master Vite™ has digestive enzymes to improve absorption and herbs to promote stamina, energy and endurance.*

 

Technique To Treat Varicose Veins Questioned

According to a study in The Archives of Dermatology the best treatment for varicose veins is yet to be determined. Current methods include traditional surgery (high ligation and stripping, HLS) or the newer laser technique (endovenous laser treatment, EVLT).

A recent study was conducted comparing the 2 techniques. More than 150 patients were assigned to each group and followed 2 years later. It appeared that both groups experienced similar rates of clinically recurrent varicose veins meaning the condition came back. Further studies are needed.

A main difference between an artery and vein is that veins do not have elasticity and will bulge (varicose). These are cosmetically unattractive and sometimes painful. HLS removes the vein surgically while EVLT destroys the vein by laser. In both instances, recurrence rates are up to 40% at 5 years because of neovascularization (growth of new blood vessels).

Preventing varicose veins is preferable to treating them. A high fiber diet, exercise and supplements help maintain good vein health.

Vita Logic Vein Formula™ is a synergistic blend of nutrients to support vascular health. The combination of citrus bioflavonoids, quercetin, aescin and more make it highly effective. Vein Formula™ is safe, doctor recommended and beneficial for promoting circulation. It is not a blood thinner but works directly on the vessels to improve health.*

 

Multivitamins Improve Mood And Mental Performance

In a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled study, individuals between the ages of 30 and 55 were given a multivitamin and mineral or placebo for a period of 33 days. Researchers demonstrated that supplementation with a multivitamin and mineral improved mood and mental performance while also reducing stress, mental tiredness, and fatigue.

The word vitamin means vital to life. Vitamins and minerals are necessary for virtually all cells and every bodily function. It makes sense that taking a good multivitamin and mineral daily improves overall health and wellbeing both physically and mentally.

Vita Logic Master Blend For Men™ and Master Blend For Women™ contain nutrients targeted for hair, skin, nails, digestion, the immune system, bones, heart and circulation, sexual function and libido, memory, vision, antioxidants, mood, energy and wellbeing, and anti-aging. The synergistic combination of vitamins, minerals, micro minerals, enzymes, herbs and nutrients are blended together into tablets. The tablets are sealed in individual packs which are identical to avoid the confusion of “am” or “pm” packs. These small, pocket size packs are convenient for travel and come in a one month supply bottle. This means one bottle, once a month as opposed to many bottles where one runs out before the other. Also one bottle is less plastic and more environmentally responsible as well as takes up much less counter space. Master Blend For Men™ and Women™ represent the very best in completeness of formulation, delivery system, convenience, cost effectiveness and efficacy.*
