Joint and Bone Health; Are you prepared for the unexpected?

By Prof Franco Cavaleri BSc NB Nutraceutical Biochemist; IFBB North American Champion Original post: September 28, 2010 We’ve all heard the ranting and raving by health enthusiasts, including my own harangue about the value of preventive care and staying active and fit. Too many, of us, however, sit at the sidelines, waiting for life to force us into action before taking a proactive role to support health. I’d like to share a recent personal experience that I hope will jolt

Supplementing the love

Original post: September 20, 2010 Fatty acid supplementation of our pets’ food has become the widely accepted thing to do; everyone and their dog is doing it and for good reasons. When it comes to the furry members of the family, Omega fatty acid supplementation is even more valuable than it is to us since their processed foods are more nutrient damaged than our own.

Oxidation 101 Beauty and the beast; The antioxidant and the free radical

Original post: September 20, 2010 The free radical is much more than just “a bad chemical that inflicts damage,” and there’s a lot more to the antioxidant than its “good-guy image”. In fact, our cells and the cells of our companion animals rely on free-radical activity for many life-supportive processes such as immune function and oxidation of nourishment for energy production within the cells. The free radical gets a bad rap but the beauty of this reactive molecule is that i

OBESITY in dogs; humans to Huskies

Original post: September 18, 2010 Obesity is a growing problem; and one that has a trickle-down effect – from humans to Huskies. Statistics indicate that as many as 25 – 30% of North Americans are obese, and our pets are taking after us. A fat dog is an unhealthy dog, one more prone to diabetes, heart disease, joint problems and a host of other conditions that can make life harder, if not shorter. As our pets are brought more intimately into the family setting they begin to a

Training Day with Fido

Original post: September 18, 2010 While running, I curled twenty reps with the dumbbell to work the biceps; then immediately did twenty reps of upright triceps extension; and then about twenty reps of lateral extensions for shoulder work; another twenty reps of straight arm front raises; and immediately after that I did upright dumbbell shoulder press. All the while, I ran to the park. The weight is very light but as I progress through the high rep work, the running adds to t

Genetic Engineering - What's germinating now? (version II)

Original post: September 17, 2010 The motive for genetic manipulation has been hidden behind ethical fronts like the cure for world hunger, disease prevention, improved crop yields and reduced costs for consumers. However, the driving force for genetic modification is proving to be far from ethical; it’s all about control, power and money. The pharmaceutical industry has contributed largely to the pioneering of this technology since the 1960’s to produce hormones for human us

Over-supplementation is grossly misunderstood

Newage demands for antioxidant nutrition make supplementation essential today. Original post: September 17, 2010 Over-supplementation is incredibly misunderstood. Confusion reigns in the public mind as brief reports in popular media fail to disclose all of the facts. Toxic outcomes are possible when any substance is administered incorrectly and in very high doses, and that includes water. However, these unfounded fears are no reason to limit nutrition that the body requires t

Food and supplement manufacturers often send out unclear and occasionally blatantly incorrect information. The right fat blend protects health and helps build long-term resistance to illness.

Exercise is the elixir of life but it depends on joint health

Original post: September 16, 2010 The unfortunate result of joint degeneration is a general decline in the very physical activity that`s crucial for health, fitness and longevity. As soon as the physical exercise is no longer tolerable, biological age begins to accelerate and your pet’s health falls apart at an exponential rate – faster than yours can. The key to long term health is exercise coupled to complete live nutrition. Research today is confirming that the underlying

Digestive health is the foundation for overall health

Original post: September 16, 2010 Every cell of the body depends on nutrients digested, absorbed and sent on their way by the digestive system. Compromised digestive health quickly leads to a domino-effect to compromise general health of your companion animal. The benefits of any diet—healthy or otherwise—cannot be delivered if even mild gut insufficiencies hamper digestion and the absorption of nutrients. Poor gastrointestinal health can result in premature aging in younger

Feeding and nourishing your puppy are not the same

Original post: September 16, 2010 Most of us have accepted the dry processed kibble diet to provide the foundation of our pet’s nourishment but this processed nourishment cannot meet nutritional needs. Processed canned wet foods and dry bagged kibble are primarily designed for our own convenience not the wellbeing of our pets. A body and metabolism built on these damaged building blocks is compromised and vulnerable to immune system deficiency and cognitive and emotional inst
