A New Super-Polyphenol, Part 1
November 3, 2015
Oligonol, a new super-polyphenol. Lychee is the source of this plant antioxidant, but a new formulation by AminoUp, the same company that developed the popular immune enhancer AHCC, has revved the bio-availability of this phytonutrient. While anthocyanidins from berries are 0.1% bioavailable, and quercetin is 1-5% bioavailable, olIgonol boasts a bioavailability of greater than 60%. The result is that oligonol is a circulatory enhancer, an athletic performance promoter, a fatigue alleviator, and may support weight loss through its insulin-sensitizing activity. It also may support skin youthfulness via its effects on capillaries. Studies demonstrate its benefits for poor circulation to the hands in feet that result in painful, discolored extremities upon cold exposure. Dr. Jaime Salas specializes in sports nutrition for performance athletes and relies heavily on oligonol for facilitating recovery from heavy workouts. Click HERE for part 2.

Clinical Focus: Wearables and Trackers, Part 1
October 29, 2015
A revolution is underway in wearables and trackers. We can now monitor and score our exercise, our blood pressures, our caloric and macro- and micro-nutrient intake, our blood sugars, our heart rates, our sleep duration and quality, even our sexual activity! What are the pros and cons? On the one hand, we have a wealth of information we can use to set goals and motivate ourselves; On the other, all that self-awareness might be burdensome. Or might "paying it forward” with exercise engender other less healthy behaviors via “moral licensing?” Should we be turning sleep into a competitive activity? Do we really need to stand up and walk around every time our Apple Watch pings us with an alert? What are the device options, ranging from the simplest to the most complex? What are the advantages and drawbacks of the Apple Watch? How do devices that offer wrist pulse measurement compare to devices that use traditional chest straps to record heart rate? Which devices are submersible? Which are stand-alone, and which require pairing with iPhone or Android devices? We cover Apple Watch, Garmin, Polar, TomTom, Mio, Fitbit, Jawbone, Basis and more. Should you go simple and cheap, or expend big bucks for an all-purpose professional-quality tracker? Bottomline, you can’t have it all, and there’s always a trade-off in selecting a device that’s right for you. Click HERE for part 2.
