Greetings!
Today as I finally am able to sit down and write this
newsletter it is sunny and 60 degrees! I am already
starting to plan my backyard organic garden and
excited to plant beets this year. I've kind of shied away
from the root veggies since I haven't gotten great
results previously I am encouraged since my husband
just bought a new juicer and visions of fresh carrot and
beet juice are dancing around my little head. The
focus of this month's newsletter is Weight
management. In the past I have counseled my
patients who wanted to lose weight to increase
protein, and decrease carbs. While this is true until
now I never had a comprehensive system in place to
help my patients achieve their weight loss goals. I
now am introducing into my practice the Ultra Lite
Weight Loss system. This system was designed by a
naturopath 15 years ago and has successfully helped
1 million people meet their weight loss goals and keep
the weight off using sound nutritional and
naturopathic science. I am happy to provide some of
that information in this newsletter and please call or
email me if you have any further questions! Just a
reminder to sign up at www.coanp.org (if you haven't
already) to support the licensure and legalization of
Naturopathic Medicine in Colorado! Letters to your
Colorado State Representatives are needed NOW!
| Scientists Reveal Mechanism between High -Fat, Diabetes Link |
 |
|
New research explains the mechanism behind the
widely recognized link between a high-fat diet and
type 2 diabetes, providing an insight into how high-fat
diet-induced diabetes may be prevented.
The study, published last week in the journal Cell,
identifies a molecular link between the consumption of
fatty foods and the disruption of insulin
production. From Science and Nutrition

| Sugar and Cancer |
|
|
The average American consumes an astounding 2-3
pounds of sugar each week, which is not surprising
considering that highly refined sugars in the forms of
sucrose (table sugar), dextrose (corn sugar), and high-
fructose corn syrup are being processed into so many
foods such as bread, breakfast cereal, mayonnaise,
peanut butter, ketchup, spaghetti sauce, and a
plethora of microwave meals. From Healing

| Large UK Study Reaffirms Body Fat - Cancer Link |
|
|
Experts at the American Institute for Cancer Resarch
(AICR) welcomed new results from a British study that
links excess body fat to several cancers.
"This new analysis falls closely in line with the
conclusions of AICR's comprehensive expert report,
Food, Nutrition, Physical Activity and the Prevention of
Cancer: A Global Perspective," said AICR Nutritionist
Sarah Wally, RD. "The expert panel who wrote that
report reviewed hundreds of studies and determined
that staying lean may be the most important thing we
can do to protect against cancer. Today's results bear
that conclusion out." From Medical News Today

| Daily Glass of Beet Juice can Beat High Blood Pressure, Study Shows |
|
|
With beets in my garden I thought of including this
interesting tidbit about the health benefits of beet juice.
An added clove or 2 or 3 would I think, enhance the
blood pressure lowering effect . Drink up!!
ScienceDaily (Feb. 6, 2008) - Researchers at
Barts and The London School of Medicine have
discovered that drinking just 500ml of beetroot juice a
day can significantly reduce blood pressure. The study
could have major implications for the treatment of
cardiovascular disease. From Science Daily

Introducing the Ultra Lite Weight Loss System ! |
|
|
|
Recently, I was asked to evaluate a weight
loss
system called Ultra Lite. I was initially skeptical, as you
can imagine, there are many diet programs out that
are unhealthy and include pre-packaged foods, pills,
shakes, cookies, herbs and other tricks that we all
know just don't work or are not sustainable.
The
program is from Australia, and only available through
health practitioners. It has been used with close to 1
million people over 15 years with no side effects.
Ultra Lite teaches you how to eat real
foods in
proper balance to get your body into a special fat
burning state. In fact, you will know using a simple test
every day if you are burning fat. This is important, as
you want your body to burn fat, while protecting your
muscle mass (your calorie burning engine), crucial to
keeping your weight off over time. this program also
supplies any extra nutrients you may need to prevent
food cravings and fatigue while on the program while
also eliminating and identifying food allergens over
time.
Unfortunately, most diets have your body
losing a
little fat, a little muscle and some fluid and over time,
as yo-yo dieting takes place, people find themselves
with a high body fat percentage and low lean muscle
mass - an unhealthy body composition. Ultra Lite will
ensure this does not happen. The added benefit is
increased energy, no food cravings or hunger while
you are on the program.
The program is done in 5-week increments, and
when properly followed, the average weight loss
ranges between 2-5 pounds per week. You will leave
my office with everything you need to go home and
begin eating foods already in your kitchen.
Even though Ultra Lite is a weight loss program its
overall impact on your health will be profound as you
will significantly reduce the risk of certain cancers,
heart disease and diabetes, not to mention a host of
lifestyle induced conditions that can be cleared up by
simply losing excess fat!
