Simple mineral stops dementia and other brain challenges

Do you or a loved one suffer from dementia, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, or any other cognitive challenge? If so, you might be able to slow or stop the decline with a simple mineral.

 A National Institutes of Health study followed 1,024 participants 65 and older. The researchers looked at the relationship between selenium levels in the blood and cognitive testing. They discovered that if you have higher selenium in your blood, you’ll have lower risk for cognitive decline.

Are you taking too much vitamin D?

It seems that every month there is some new study published describing the wonders of vitamin D. It lengthens your lifespan. And it protects against cancer, diabetes, heart disease, colds and flu, strokes, MS, and more. Statistically, vitamin D will provide these benefits only when you take enough to get your blood levels up around 70 ng/ml. So is there any downside to having your blood levels this high? The answer might be yes.

Take the case of Millie, for example. Millie is a 68-year-old woman with a serious decrease in her bone mineral density.

The hidden danger in flying 
the airlines don’t tell you about

A lot of people look forward to retirement so they can travel the world. It’s a great time to visit all those places you always dreamed of visiting. But there’s a danger in traveling you need to know about. And, if you take the right inexpensive nutrient, you can travel worry free.

When you fly, the airplane takes you into altitudes you normally would never experience. Most people don’t realize that these high altitudes have very high levels of ionizing radiation (the damaging kind of radiation, much like nuclear). That means you expose your body to dangerous radiation every time you go up in a plane.
