  1. Supplement with overlook super-nutrient. An important study out of Malaysia backs up what I’ve observed for years in my own clinic:That an overlooked form of vitamin E not only prevents brain damage but can help repair it. In the study, researchers found that tocotrienols substantially reduce the formation of white matter lesions — the damaged area in your brain that contribute to Alzheimer’s and dementia.4Another exciting new study suggests tocotrienols also regulate your brain’s ability to receive and use DHA.5 As a regular reader, you know that your brain is 60% omega-3 fatty acids, and DHA makes up 40% of that.You see, tocotrienols are a hugely important anti-aging nutrient that lengthens telomeres. In one study, telomere lengths were 16% longer than controls when exposed to gamma-tocotrienol.6 A second study demonstrated that tocotrienols actually extended the length of telomeres while preventing damage to DNA.7A good way to naturally get tocotrienols into your body is to add them to your diet. Annatto oil, palm oil, dark leafy green vegetables, cashews, almonds, and pistachios are all excellent sources of tocotrienols. I also suggest supplementing with 50 mg of pure tocotrienols a day.
  2. Add this ancient spice. Curcumin is a brain-saving superfood. It turns out the spice can help stop your telomeres from shortening and even make them grow longer.Clinical studies show it does this by activating the telomere-protecting enzyme telomerase. Telomerase helps preserve and lengthen telomeres – which slows down and even reverses the aging of your brain.8In fact, with every increase in telomere length, your brain can become biologically younger by another year. Just imagine how it would be to regain the laser-sharp focus and quick memory you had decades ago.It’s hard to get the curcumin you need from foods. Look for a supplement that contains piperine. This black pepper compound has been shown to make curcumin more bioavailable. Take it with a healthy fat to further increase its bioavailability. I suggest using 3,000 mg daily.

decouple carbon emissions from economic growth.

  It's refreshing to see wealthy countries finally learn how to   decouple carbon emissions from economic growth . This is especially significant for nations like Australia and New Zealand that historically have relied on coal. As it turns out, carbon emissions and GDP growth can be mutually exclusive. (Who knew!) The problem, of course, is that all of this is still ~30 years overdue. The climate will continue to warm, and that warming will continue to affect us. How does climate change affect the wine industry? Europe is wine's most important continent. Most of the world's wines come from Europe, and just 3 countries account for over half of all wine production: France, Italy and Spain. Global warming will eventually require pretty much every industry in the world to change the way they produce goods. But this is especially true for industries that  rely on the climate to survive , like wine. It's is one of the biggest topics in the industry today. From changing viticu

10 Steps to Financial Health in the New Year

  10 Steps to Financial Health in the New Year 1)   Take stock You can't make meaningful financial changes in the New Year unless you know where you are right now. A good place to start is with a snapshot of your overall wealth, otherwise known as your net worth. Add up your assets (what you own); then subtract your liabilities (what you owe). This will show you whether you're in the plus or the minus, help you plan and prioritize your spending, saving and investing, and provide a benchmark against which you can measure your progress over the years. This is also a good time to review your credit report to make sure your accounts and liabilities are listed accurately. Finally, look at your cash flow over the past year. What came in each month? What went out? If you regularly spent more than you earned, decide what changes you'll make to turn things around. 2)   Set goals and prioritize What’s at the top of your list of goals this year? Whether you want to save more, pay off

Protect your heart with natural vitamin A

Protect your heart with natural vitamin A Vitamin A Recent studies on the peritoneal – the fluid sac that surrounds the organs in your abdomen – revealed that a key bioactive metabolite of vitamin A called retinoic acid provides the signal for macrophages to quickly ride to rescue damaged organs. 3 You may have already heard of retinoic acid. It’s found in many lotions for skin wrinkling. Retinoic acid is basically a more potent version of retinol, a common over-the-counter version of bioactive vitamin A that you’ll find in skin anti-aging creams and lotions. In your body, retinoic acid is synthesized from retinol. Now, your doctor may have warned you about the awful dangers of vitamin A. Symptoms like dizziness, nausea, headaches, fatigue, and anemia. What they DON’T tell you is that drug companies make synthetic forms of vitamin A and market them as drugs. They’re hoping you’ll trust their drug version instead of natural vitamin A.
