I suggest you find a registered dietitian in your area, perhaps at your local hospital or go on the American Dietetic Association's website, eatright.org to find a dietitian in your area.

]]> Comment on Q & A: Where can I get omega-3 eggs and calcium candy? by Elizabeth http://elizabethsomerblog.com/q-a-where-can-i-get-omega-3-eggs-and-calcium-candy/#comment-19625 Elizabeth Wed, 11 Jan 2012 17:30:17 +0000 http://elizabethsomerblog.com/?p=43#comment-19625 Hi Kary, In answer to your question: Antioxidants such as vitamins C and E have had some rough times of late with several studies concluding that they aren’t quite the miracle supplements we hoped. However, a new wave of research is breathing new life into antioxidants with evidence that we can boost our bodies’ ability to fend off harmful free radicals not just by throwing antioxidants at them but by actually stimulating our own genes to make more antioxidant enzymes. Phytochemicals in colorful fruits like berries and vegetables like tomatoes and carrots are the first line of defense. Also, look for new supplements that show promise in enhancing your body’s own defense systems to ward off both disease and even premature aging, such as Protandim, which isn’t an antioxidant, like vitamin C, but rather actually boosts your body’s natural production of antioxidants, which then work 24/7 to protect the body against disease.

I have been researching what to do for Macular Degeneration as I have the diagnosis. I wondered if you could tell me your thoughts on the product. By the way you may remember me from about 13 years ago. You were a guest speaker for our community at a seminar at Mercy Community Education in Roseburg. You had just released your book "Age Proof Your Body". I continue to work as a nurse/diabetes educator for Mercy Medical Center. Any information or advice your could suggest would be very appreciated. My Best and Merry Christmas, Kary Piper Hi Elizabeth-

According to the USDA, the average man, woman, and child consumes up to 50 teaspoons of added sugar a day! Supplying only calories, this excessive consumption either contributes to obesity or malnutrition. Or both. With almost 7 out of 10 Americans battling a weight problem, it's a no brainer to cut back on processed foods high in added sugars. (Natural sugars found in an orange or a sweet potato are fine!)
