I.M.120 Helping you to BE YOUR BEST SELF

Everybody will eventually die, but does that mean we have to age?

Throughout the span of human history we have accepted the decline of physical and mental abilities as the inevitable consequence of aging. This type of aging has been termed the "Gradual decline" into varying degrees of infirmity before dying. 

SCIENCE CHANGES AGING!

Rapid advances in our knowledge about the factors that cause physical and mental decline are enabling us to neutralize their effect. In addition to a healthy lifestyle, we now know that oxidative...

It's found in every cell of the body, diligently guarding against the corrosive effect of free radicals. Without it, you are more likely to descend into ill health with frequent infections, cancer, muscle and cognitive breakdown.

Glutathione is simply the most important antioxidant in the body. Fortunately, many people are born with the genetic tendency to have low levels of glutathione.  In other cases, illness or injury can knock the levels down. This makes us more susceptible to on going poor health.

BREAST CANCER; what if the pathologist is wrong?

Recent studies have noted that up to 25% of the pathologist interpretations of low-grade breast cancer may be misdiagnosed.  Normal cells were sometimes misinterpreted as DCIS (ductal carcinoma in situ). This has led to some women receiving unnecessary treatments. 

Pathologists tend to be very accurate when it comes to invasive cancer, however DCIS is more challenging to diagnose and to figure out how to manage. Despite it's ominous sounding name, DCIS is not considered the equivalent of breast...

Sometime, typically in your early 20s, it begins. You had no problems in your youth or high school maintaining a healthy weight. Little to no effort was required. Your metabolism seemed to take care of you no matter what you ate. Then things begin to change.

Some call it the "Freshman 10."  In some cases it's the natural process of "filling out," that phase when an adolescent girl becomes a woman, or a boy becomes a man.  For the fortunate few, the net result is a healthy and balanced adult height and weight. For the majority, at least in America, this phase...

YOUR AGING IMMUNE SYSTEM

When we think of aging, we may think of wrinkled skin, thinning hair, decreased hearing or vision. These are the more tangible signs of chronologic aging. What about your immune system? Just like the other parts of your body, your immune system is affected by chronologic aging.  As we age, our ability to create antibodies diminishes. The neutrophils that are created do not move as effectively, and do not adhere to their targets as well. This all adds up to a greater vulnerability to infection with everything from the flu, to bladder infections, to pneumonia...

The European food safety authority  (EFSA) has developed recommendations for very low calorie meal replacement diets. The recommendations support higher levels of protein and lower levels of carbohydrates than had been previously advised.  The report also emphasizes the importance of high-quality in the proteins selected.  The recommendations reinforce macronutrient teaching used in the I.M.120 Method.

THE RISK OF FASTING

...

Every now and then millions of dollars are spent and numerous studies are done to validate intuitive knowledge. So it comes to us from the "Annals of Internal Medicine" that sitting around all day long is bad for you. In fact, it will shorten your lifespan.

This is not exactly earth shattering news. Do we really need studies to tell us that watching TV six hours a day is bad? Or that sitting in front of a computer screen for eight hours a day without any significant movement may cause harm?  While this element of knowledge may be intuitive, what was most interesting in the studies...
