Jay Robb's Health-eLiving Newsletter
 |
Hi Everyone!
In San Diego we have a phrase: "June Gloom." This phrase
describes the cloudy conditions that dominate the coastline
throughout the month of June. These coastal clouds roll in
from the cool Pacific Ocean and hover over land until
approximately noon each day, when the sun burns away the
clouds. We then experience sunshine for 2-3 hours before the
"marine layer" of clouds returns to keep us cool and shaded
from the sun. While June Gloom describes our early summer
weather patterns in San Diego, June is anything but gloomy
in this eNewsletter, or at the Jay Robb Corporation. We are
on fire, exploding, and feel truly blessed!
In this issue, you will discover why your health could be in
serious jeopardy unless you are basking in the sun daily,
why you may be in the throes of a pre-diabetic condition,
and how to completely side- |
step this potential problem,
and how to kiss your "bad hair days" goodbye forever by
utilizing several key nutrients! You will also find out what
gout is all about (and how to prevent gout, without a
doubt). Also included is an easy-to-make, gluten-free,
hi-protein, hi-energy breakfast cereal that can help keep
you lean, lively, and in love with life!
God bless you!

JayTip #1
SUNLIGHT FRIEND OR FOE?
|
 |
For years you've heard the pronouncements of
doom: the sun causes cancer; it can kill you! Slather
yourself in sunscreen to avoid the dangers of radiation and
sun damage! You may be surprised, but I'm here to tell you
that sunlight is actually essential to your health. Exposing
your unprotected skin to the sun on a regular basis is good
for you!
Obviously, staying in the sun so long that your skin burns
is unhealthy, but that is no reason to avoid direct
sun-to-skin contact for appropriate periods of time.
Sunlight is necessary to synthesize vitamin D, which
strengthens bones and muscles. In fact, sunlight is the
primary source of vitamin D for most Americans and
Europeans, i but many have
been showing signs of vitamin D deficiency as an increasing
number of people avoid the sun and overuse sunscreen. |
Benefit your health by
exposing your skin to the sun gradually. Initially,
naturally light-skinned people may only need ten to fifteen
minutes of unprotected sunlight each day to receive the
minimum necessary benefits of sunlight. Naturally
dark-skinned people may only need 30 minutes of sunlight
initially. Your skin naturally darkens to protect against
overexposure by slowly increasing skin pigmentation
(tanning). Monitor yourself to make sure you don't sunburn,
but as your skin darkens you must begin to increase the
amount of time you spend in the sun so that you receive the
same health benefits. The darker your skin is, the more sun
exposure you need, and daily exposure is ideal.
Daily controlled sunbathing can:
Protect you from cancer. Regular exposure to the sun
can protect you from cancer of the breast, colon, ovary,
bladder, womb, stomach, and prostate. Even though many
believe that the sun causes cancer, in appropriate doses it
can prevent cancer much more than it causes it.
ii If you want to avoid many
forms of cancer, sunbathe regularly.
Prevent depression and enhance your mood. Going out
into the sun increases your body's production of serotonin,
a hormone that affects your mood positively, making you feel
relaxed and happy. Many individuals suffer from seasonal
affective disorder (SAD), a weather-related depression that
is often caused by lack of sunlight in winter. Controlled
daily exposure to sunlight can lift your mood. Spend more
time in the sunlight and feel the relaxing effects.
iii To avoid depression and lift
your mood, try a regular dose of sunshine instead of turning
to drugs!
Lower your cholesterol levels. The ultraviolet light
that comes primarily from sunlight has been shown to break
down cholesterol significantly. Other fats that are related
to heart disease can be reduced by exposure to UV light, as
well. iv Move over, Lipitor;
let the sunshine in!
Slow the aging process of your body. Sunlight is
necessary for the synthesis of vitamin D; interestingly,
vitamin D makes your DNA age more slowly. You can't easily
get a proper amount of vitamin D in your diet, so exposing
your bare skin to the warm sunlight is the only way to get
the youth-preserving benefits of vitamin D.
v Get young with the sun!
Make your heart stronger and more efficient. In a
study conducted at the Tulane School of Medicine, 20
individuals were exposed to ultraviolet light. Dr. Raymond
Johnson found that cardiac output increased an average of 39
percent in 18 of the 20 people tested.
vi Add sunlight to your training
program!

JayTip #2
HELP FOR HYPOGLYCEMIA
|
|
 |
Did you know you that most Americans eat
more sugar than they should? If you are consuming too much
sugar, sweets, refined carbs, and/or junk food, watch out
for hypoglycemia. Often called low blood sugar, hypoglycemia
is the term for blood glucose levels that are lower than
normal. It occurs when your blood sugar level drops too low
to provide your body with enough energy.
vii Hypoglycemia has often been
considered a sign of early-onset adult diabetes. Those
already afflicted with diabetes might be interested in a
recent study, which found that over a thousand young people
have been harmed or killed from using insulin pumps
incorrectly. viii Like
most conditions, hypoglycemia can be severe or mild, and can
be caused by a
variety of factors, such as ingesting too many simple sugars
or being on an extreme low-carbohydrate diet.
|
For those who suffer from
hypoglycemia, there is hope! Proper diet, nutrition, and
exercise can do wonders to enhance your health. It did for
me! Utilizing my Fat Burning Diet principles and the Jay
Robb lifestyle, I kissed my hypoglycemia goodbye thirty
years ago! If you are concerned about developing
hypoglycemia in the future, you can minimize your risk by
reducing or eliminating sugar, sweets, and junk food from
your diet. When eating to manage hypoglycemia, it is most
important that you regulate your intake of food by eating at
least three balanced meals that contain natural carbs, so
that glucose enters your bloodstream at a slow and steady
rate.
To help combat hypoglycemia you can:
Avoid eating simple sugars, such as honey, white or
brown sugar, molasses, corn syrup, maple syrup, and all
other refined sugars. The human body can easily handle
complex carbohydrates, but when fiber and nutrients in
carbohydrates are removed (creating a simple sugar), the
body cannot function as efficiently.
ix
Choose high-fiber foods. Low-fiber foods, especially
fruit and vegetable juices, are a poor choice for those with
hypoglycemia. The natural sugars in both vegetables and
fruits can cause a sugar spike. The fiber that naturally
occurs in fruits and vegetables can slow the delivery of
sugar to your body. Most juices are void of all fiber. Opt
for fresh fruits and vegetables instead. Your blood sugar
will thank you. x
Eat good carbohydrates. While many people with
hypoglycemia believe they are sensitive to carb-rich foods,
what really causes the glucose reaction is how refined most
of our breads and pastas are. Vegetables are an excellent
source of fiber-rich carbohydrates, and can help you get the
vitamins and minerals you need, too!
xi
Avoid caffeine. Caffeine is never good for you, but
when you're fighting hypoglycemia, it's even more important
that you avoid it. Caffeine causes stored sugar to be
released into your blood, which can create a sugar spike
that you're trying to avoid. xii
TIP! For more information on eating to avoid
hypoglycemia, see my book The Fat Burning Diet (or my NEW
condensed version, The Fat Burning Diet Made Easy,
available soon.

JayTip #3
YOU CAN HAVE HEALTHY HAIR!
|
|
 |
Have you ever been envious of someone
else's beautiful head of hair? Do you think having beautiful,
healthy hair is little more than a dream? Did you know that you can
mitigate hair loss naturally and make your hair look healthier than
ever with a few simple tips?
Your entire body is affected by the
food you eat, and your hair is no exception. In fact, since your
hair is largely composed of protein, you have a significant ability
to affect the health of your hair. Take advantage of it! Maybe you
will never have the perfect hair you see on shampoo commercials, but
you can certainly improve the hair you have.
|
To make your hair more healthy and beautiful than ever, you can:
Power up with protein. Eighty-eight percent of your hair is
composed of protein. When you aren't getting enough protein in your
diet, your hair suffers. Protein strengthens your hair and makes it
less prone to damage, so for strong, healthy hair, make an effort to
add more protein to your diet. Good dietary sources of protein
include meat, poultry, fish, and dairy products. For another great
way to increase your protein intake, see the helpful tip on protein
powder supplements at the end of this section!
xiii
Know your hair. Are you more prone to oily hair or dry hair?
Oily hair can be partly due to a vitamin B deficiency. To get more
vitamin B in your diet, increase your intake of green vegetables,
beans, nuts, and peas. On the other hand, overly dry, stressed hair
can result from a shortage of vitamins A and C. Foods rich in A
vitamins include carrots, squash, broccoli, sweet potatoes,
cantaloupe, and apricot. Vitamin C is found in citrus fruits,
tomatoes, melons, and cucumber. xiv
Drink plenty of water. Water makes up approximately 25
percent of the weight of a strand of hair, so drinking plenty of
water is vital to the health of your hair.
Get your nutrients and minerals. A deficiency of zinc can
cause hair loss, and vitamins A, B, C, E, and K are particularly
important for hair health. Also make sure you are getting plenty of
iron, magnesium, and omega-3 fats.
Break bad habits. Hair looks healthier when you eat healthier.
On the other hand, it looks worse when you indulge in poor health
habits such as smoking, excessive drinking, recreational drugs, and
even drinking caffeine regularly. For your best hair ever, break
poor health habits.
TIP! To make sure you are getting adequate protein to support
the growth of beautiful, healthy hair, try Jay Robb's
Whey or Egg White protein
powders. Or, to ensure that you are getting some of the basic
nutrients your hair needs, try Jay Robb's

Q:
I'm 53, study Kempo four to six hours a week, walk,
and I do squats and pushups. I had a gout attack
last May and have continuing problems with gout and
joint pain. I wonder if this may have been caused by
following the Atkins Diet? At any rate, I'm a
healthy 265 pounds, but I should be under 200. I
have your Fat Burning Diet book. What do you think
about the gout issue in relation to the high-low
protein/carb aspect of your diet?
A:
I am not in
favor of low-carb, ketogenic diets such as the
Atkins Diet or Protein Power. If you have followed
the Atkins Diet, or any other low-carb diet of this
nature, then your gout flare-ups may be directly
related. |
Gout is caused by a buildup
of uric acid. In this condition, monosodium urate (uric acid
crystals) are deposited on the articular cartilage of
joints, tendons and surrounding tissues due to elevated
concentrations of uric acid in the bloodstream. This
provokes the inflammatory reaction of these tissues.
In general, consuming dark meats (which can cause
inflammation) and seafoods in excess can directly lead to
problems with gout. Consuming beer and soft drinks, even in
moderation, can also radically increase the risk of a gout
outbreak.
Many individuals say a diet high in protein is the reason
they develop gout. In reality, not all protein rich foods
lead to gout problems. Dairy products, which are rich in
complete protein, are usually gout inhibiting.
To avoid uric acid build-up, your diet is your best line of
defense. If you are susceptible to gout, avoid dark meats,
liver, egg yolks, and most seafood. When choosing protein,
lean toward whey protein, egg whites, chicken breasts,
turkey breasts, cheese, yogurt, and milk. Taking 3-9
deep sea fish
oil capsules daily can help alleviate inflammation, as
can taking 2,000-3,000 mg
vitamin C per day. Keep your intake of fruits and
vegetables high to provide your body with the alkaline
minerals it needs to maintain homeostasis of the blood and
fluids.
As far as the Fat
Burning Diet helping you avoid uric acid buildup:
yes, it can-if you will follow its principles and
utilize the protein foods listed above while avoiding the
gout promoting proteins.
