You Can’t Outrun Your Fork

Exercise has a huge upside for overall health. Regular exercise supports cardiovascular and circulatory health, and can improve blood glucose control, mood, and much more. Unfortunately, that tremendous positive doesn’t always apply to weight loss.

If weight loss is your goal, exercise is great. And you should exercise regularly. But reducing food (calorie) intake is far more effective, especially in the short-term. You should continue to exercise, but if you aren’t making the weight-loss progress you want, you may need to look closer at your diet.

On the other hand, regular exercise and physical activity is essential to long-term weight maintenance for most people. You may not be able to lose all your weight through exercise, but maintaining a healthy weight is extremely difficult without regular exercise. The habit of exercise will provide you huge benefits and will likely extend your health span. Just don’t depend on it entirely for weight loss.

N-acetylcysteine (NAC) Raises Glutathione Levels and Supports the Health of Blood Cells in Workers Exposed to Lead

Glutathione has a wide variety of roles in a cell, and is one of the most important antioxidant complexes used in the body to protect against toxicity (especially in blood cells and the liver). Glutathione participates in a cycle to quench oxygen and nitrogen free radicals, but eventually after enough cycles it becomes degraded.

Supplemental glutathione appears to have limited therapeutic usage, however, due to being rapidly hydrolyzed by the intestines during digestion. Because of this, the benefits of oral supplementation of glutathione are too small to be clinically relevant.

N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) and L-cysteine are direct precursors to glutathione synthesis, and can be effectively used in oral supplements to accelerate re-synthesis of glutathione when it normally would be depleted.

A recent study investigated whether supplementation with N-acetylcysteine (NAC) would restore glutathione (GSH) status in workers exposed to lead.

The exposed population consisted of 171 healthy males randomly divided into four groups. The control group took no antioxidants, drugs or dietary supplements. The remaining groups took either 200 mg, 400 mg, or 800 mg of NAC. Blood was drawn at the beginning and at the end of the 12 week study.

Blood lead levels decreased significantly in all groups receiving NAC compared to those in baseline. Markers of glutathione synthesis increased in the NAC groups compared to baseline, while markers of oxidative stress intensity decreased.

In this study group, NAC was shown to decrease oxidative stress in workers exposed to lead by stimulating glutathione (GSH) synthesis.

It's Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Breast cancer awareness applies to all women, throughout the world, because breast cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide.

Ladies, your health is your greatest asset. It’s time get passionate about your health!
Here are some basic steps that you can take to help protect your health:
• Limit alcohol. Too much alcohol increases the risk of developing breast cancer. Only drink occasionally or no more than one drink a day.
• Control your weight. Maintaining a healthy weight is a key factor for promoting good health. And consider eating a more Mediterranean-style type diet that includes fruits, veggies, fish, poultry, low-fat dairy, mixed nuts, and healthy oils.
• Get physical. Evidence is growing that regular physical activity is preventative and may help reduce breast cancer risk, especially in women past menopause. While it is not known exactly how much physical activity is needed, some studies suggest that a few hours a week might be helpful. The mechanisms for how exercise may be preventative are not clear, but it is thought that it may be due to its effects on body weight, inflammatory processes, hormones, and energy balance.
• Do not smoke! No explanation needed for this one. Smoking is bad for your body and damages your health.
• Spend a few minutes a week checking your body and noticing changes. You know your body and most often you will be the first to notice a change.
• Get regular health checkups, and if you are over 40, get that mammogram!

Increased awareness, better screening, early detection, improving treatment options, and living healthier, have all contributed to declining death rates from breast cancer.

However, more work is necessary to help women throughout the world to improve breast health outcomes by providing better access to breast cancer screenings, early detection, and treatment for all women. Go Pink!!
