NEW YORK, Jan 04, 2006 - PRNewswire
via COMTEX - Nicholas Perricone, MD, the world's leading
anti-aging health and beauty expert made the groundbreaking
discovery that linked invisible, cellular inflammation to
aging in his revolutionary book.
By following his anti-inflammatory
advice, millions have learned how to combat the signs of
aging-from acne to wrinkles and weight loss.
"My research has shown that
the chief therapeutic intervention to prevent weight gain,
regardless of age, is the anti-inflammatory diet," says Dr.
Perricone in his latest bestseller The Perricone Weight Loss
Diet.
Follow these tips to stabilize
blood sugar and insulin, maintain precious muscle mass and stay
thin for life.
- Eat cold water fish, such as wild
salmon, sardines, trout, etc. Some people think that they
"hate" fish -- particularly salmon. However salmon is a
fat-burner, muscle-builder, wrinkle-eraser, skin-saver, mood-enhancing
brain-booster. You may want to reconsider.
- Take fish oil
capsules. If you
don't eat fish or want to increase the weight loss benefits of the
omega 3 fatty acids found in cold-water fish, take high quality
fish oil capsules.
- Avoid stress -- it causes the
release of the hormone cortisol, which stimulates insulin release
to keep pace with rising blood sugar levels. Excess cortisol
increases appetite and promotes storage of fat in the abdominal
area.
- Eliminate Food Cravings. Just 1/2
teaspoon of the amino acid glutamine taken at meals three times
per day will stop the constant cravings for sweets and high
glycemic carbs.
- Laugh to Lose Weight: Laughter
reduces stress hormones, strengthens the immune system, lowers
blood pressure, acts as a muscle relaxant, triggers release of the
body's natural painkillers, and improves health and well-being.
- Go for the Green -- Green tea
prevents the absorption of fat, helping to keep off excess body
fat. Supplementation with the most plentiful green tea polyphenol,
EGCG, stops diet-induced weight problems.
- Listen to your biological clock.
Researchers have found that the "clock," once thought to
be only in the central part of the brain, is also in the part of
the brain that controls appetite. It appears that synchronization
of meal times has an impact on our weight -- so eat regular meals
at regular times to prevent overeating.
- Sleep to Lose Weight: Did you
know that sleep deprivation causes overeating? When we don't get
enough sleep, the hormone believed to increase feelings of hunger
increases. Another hormone that suppresses appetite and burns fat
stores, is decreased. Those most sleep deprived craved
carbohydrate-rich foods, such as sweets, pasta, and breads.
- An apple a day (or two or three).
Despite their relatively high sugar levels, apples exert a
stabilizing effect on blood sugar, in part to their high fiber
content and phloretin: a flavonoid-type phytonutrient found
exclusively in apples. Buy organic and eat the skin as well as the
fruit.
