Resveratrol Fights Fat

Resveratrol Fights Fat

New research finds that red wine chemical

can limit growth of fat cells;

could help fight diabetes and heart disease

Resveratrol, the chemical compound found in red wine
and an increasing target of medical research, can limit
obesity by preventing the development of fat cells,
according to a study presented Monday at the Endocrine
Society's 90th-annual meeting in San Francisco. A team of
scientists from the University of Ulm, located in southwest
Germany, report that resveratrol shows potential as a
fat-fighting supplement, by both preventing weight gain
and stopping some of the health problems caused by obesity.

The findings echo previous research where resveratrol
supplements helped keep obese mice healthy.

"Resveratrol has anti-obesity properties by exerting its
effects directly on the fat cells," said Pamela
Fischer-Posovszky, a pediatric endocrinology research
fellow at the university's diabetes and obesity unit.
"Resveratrol might help to prevent development of
obesity or might be suited to treating obesity."

During their research, Fischer-Posovszky and her team
isolated human stem-cell lines, called preadipocytes.
These fibrous tissues eventually mature into adipocytes,
which store energy and insulate the body in the form of fat.

The scientists exposed the preadipocytes to various doses
of resveratrol and observed that the chemical hindered the
maturation of the cells into adipocytes. The resveratrol also
reduced the cells' production of certain proteins linked to
the development of obesity-related disorders, such as
type 2 diabetes and clogged arteries. Furthermore, the
resveratrol stimulated the production of a
metabolism-regulating protein, called adiponectin, which
decreases the risk of heart attack. People who are obese
are typically adiponectin deficient.

The dosage of resveratrol used in the study is equivalent
to consuming several bottles of wine, suggesting that
supplements would be more effective than wine
consumption in fighting fat. And the effects of the
resveratol were dose-dependent, meaning the more
resveratrol used, the better the results.

Fischer-Posovszky is pleased with the results but warns
that "you have to keep in mind that there might be
adverse effects," she said. "So far, there are no
reliable studies on resveratrol in humans."

Folate good for Sperm

Folate an essential nutrient


A new study finds that Folate intake is linked to genetic
abnormalities in sperm.

– Healthy men who report lower levels of the
nutrient folate in their diets have higher rates of chromosomal
abnormalities in their sperm, according to a new study by
researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, and the
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.

Women of child-bearing age are encouraged to maintain
adequate levels of folate in their diet, but the new findings,
to be published Thursday, March 20, in the journal Human
Reproduction, provide evidence that what men eat may also
affect reproductive health.

"Recent studies have suggested that paternal diet affects
sperm count and motility, which is important for conception,
but this new study takes it further to say that male diet may
be important for healthy offspring as well," said study coordinator
Suzanne Young, a researcher at UC Berkeley's School of Public
Health
. "Our study is the first to look at the effects of diet on
chromosomal abnormalities in sperm. These abnormalities would
cause either miscarriages or children with genetic syndromes if
the sperm fertilized an egg."

Folate is a water-soluble B vitamin that occurs naturally in a wide
range of foods, particularly liver, leafy green vegetables, citrus
fruits and legumes. It is needed during the synthesis of DNA, RNA
and proteins, and it is necessary for the production of new cells.
Folate also helps keep in check levels of homocysteine, an amino
acid that, when elevated, is linked to heart disease.

Studies have shown that adequate intake of folate by women
just before and during pregnancy significantly reduces the risk
of neural tube birth defects, such as spina bifida or anencephaly.

Partner With Nature

The Truth about Supplements

There is an overwhelming number of supplements on the

market leavening many consumers confused.

If we look a little closer we discover there are really only

2 kinds of supplements to choose from; those that are natural and

those that are not.

The hard part is knowing the difference. Marketers will do anything

to convince you their product is either "natural" or is so high-tech

it’s somehow "better" than natural.

The need for supplementation is not at question.

As we decrease the variety of plant-foods we eat and increasing

the amount of synthetic or highly processed foods, we strip our

diet of essential nutrients while simultaneously exposing our

weakened defences to more toxins.

Australian research of 44 common fruits and vegetables reveals

up to 60% reduction of essential nutrients when compared with

only a few decades ago.

Supplementing to fill in those nutritional gaps appears a wise move.

The question now becomes, “fill in the gaps with what?”

According to Australian researchers, the world’s richest source

of critical nutrients come from our own back-yard. Exciting discoveries

from the Australian Outback place many Bush Foods into the record books.

Getting a boost from bush tucker is becoming trendy.

Here's good advice for practice: go into partnership with nature;

she does more than half the work and asks none of the fee. ~Martin H. Fischer

The Benefits of Natural Vitamin C

One of the most popular nutritional supplements
is vitamin C. It is used as a first line of defence
against a host of medical conditions. When we
decide to consume vitamin C we have a number of
choices of delivery. What are the advantages of liquid
nutrition? Here are some important considerations.

Vitamin C Benefits

Many of us take a supplement when we have colds.
But vitamin C's benefits go far beyond that. It can
help in collagen production and the recovery of
damaged skin and tissues. It also has an important
role in protecting the body against infection and
increasing iron absorption. Vitamin C is also an
antioxidant. It stops free radicals from wreaking
too much damage on the different cells of the body.

Vitamin C Deficiency

Despite the obvious importance of the vitamin and
its availability, some people still suffer from its
deficiency. A significant proportion of the population
do not consume enough vitamin C.
Unknowingly these individuals may
become more susceptible to such conditions as the
virus-induced colds or gum bleeding. Others may
have such poor immunity that infections can become
common. Scurvy is a consequence of not having
sufficient vitamin C in the body.

Take Liquid Vitamin C

Although Vitamin C is essential to the body,
unfortunately our body is not able to make this
substance by its own. The recommended daily
doses of the vitamin C should therefore be taken
from food and other sources. Fruits and vegetables
are the natural first option, and common choices
include cauliflower, cabbage, spinach, oranges,
grapefruit, lemons and the world record holder
is the kakadu plum native to Australia.

People on a busy schedule as well as those
recovering from illness and strenuous exercise
often have less that the optimum intake of nutrients.
An alternative solution is to take vitamins in
capsules and tablets. It has been suggested that
vitamins taken in the liquid form is the best choice,
as vitamins are better absorbed by our body when
taken in the liquid form.

It is rare for people to overdose with vitamin C
but when this occurs it may produce upset stomachs
and diarrhoea. Preferably keep away from products
with strong artificial additives and contact a
Physician for medical conditions.

Supplements Boom

Kakadu enters the $1b

alternativeHealth boom.

Australians spent more than $300 million on herbal medicines,
vitamins and other dietary supplements through health food stores
and direct marketing with another $700 million going through
supermarkets and selected pharmacies according to
The Complementary Healthcare Council.

Kakadu Juice, made from potent bush tucker and fortified with
world class plant foods is entering the expanding supplements
market. This cocktail of essential nutrients supplies an
abundance of slow release energy, vitamins, minerals,
antioxidants, enzymes, bioflavanoids, chlorophyll, protein,
essential oils (3, 6 & 9) and fibre for fortifying the diet the
way nature intended – from cold pressed whole foods.

Around 75 per cent of Australians, including 92 per cent
of women aged 20-24, took at least one dietary supplement

Total sales rose 7 per cent over the past year, but the
nutritional oils market jumped 26 per cent to reach
$86 million, largely fuelled by the growing popularity of
omega-3 fatty acids. Products used to ease inflammation and
joint swelling associated with arthritis, continued to occupy
the biggest shareof the market, with $138 million in sales.
Multivitamins and minerals also recorded a growth in sales
to $106 million. Women’s health was another big seller
with men’s health gaining ground with 24% growth.

The popularity of alternatives is being driven by baby
boomer's who were at an age when they are increasingly
taking responsibility for their well being.

There’s no doubt a lot more people are using supplements
and seeking to educate them selves about essential
nutritional requirements.

The scientist behind Kakadu Juice have done decades of
research to create a potent, concentrated, delicious beverage.

Are you ready for Kakadu.

Native superfoods


Nutritional Food

Bush Tucker is being enthusiastically embrace and public perception is evolving.
Wild herbs and fruits are finding their way into everything from jams to salad dressing
and an amasing nutritional supplement. From as far away as the Kakadu restaurant in

China, menus and supermarkets shelves are discovering bush tucker.

Not only do many of our native bush foods taste good but research has suggested some
may be "superfoods" with exceptionally high levels of disease-fighting anti-oxidants.

Australia's original inhabitants lived off the land for many thousands of years and have
an intimate knowledge of nature’s bounty
. Now appreciation for these botanicals is
spreading in culinary and scientific circles.

Scientists throughout Australia, collaborating with Aboriginal elders are identifying
the power contained with in these ancient plants.

Chefs find that the flavours are stronger and the products have more punch so you need
to use less. "It's phenomenal , there's been a 100 per cent increase in the number of people
who want to know more." says Dale Chapman, a chef at The Dilly Bag.

Bush Tucker may have been overlooked for many years but they are products that,
if used the right way, provide wonderful results.

Nutritional Supplements

Nutritional supplements can be beneficial for those leading a busy lifestyle as well as individuals with nutrient deficiencies can supplement to maintain optimal health

Even people who eat a nutritionally well balanced diet
might not always get the required amount of nutrients. Since
individuals are unique, they require a particular amount of a certain nutrient that differs slightly from others.

The human body has the ability to absorb the required nutrients like Vitamin C and eliminate the excess through the urine. Unfortunately, what ones consumes today might not be adequate for tomorrow and that is why one should make up for such deficits through supplements or a proper diet.

Vitamin C is a commonly taken supplement that is essential to curbing diseases such as scurvy and rickets. Though these ailments are not common today especially in developed countries, studies have found that adequate quantities of Vitamin C actually helps strengthen the immune system and reduce the occurrence of colds and other infections.

Another example where nutritional supplements prove to be very effective is by providing adequate quantities of Omega 3 fatty acids. These fatty acids help prevent heart diseases and reduce inflammation. However, its primary dietary source - fish may not always have enough Omega 3 because the local fish supply is temporarily unsafe or it may not appeal to everyone's taste buds. In such cases nutritional supplements serve as an excellent alternative.
