*Intro music*

Jerry Hickey, Ph: [00:00:40] I’ve been an advocate for frequent consumption of green leafy vegetables for decades. Based on a lot of science, from leading academic research institutions, and also for supplementing with specific nutrients found in these green leafy vegetables as additional precaution, just to make sure you’re getting enough of these very important nutrients. Now, there’s lots of science, very good quality science, and this is from leading academic research institutions such as Harvard, Tufts, Johns Hopkins. They show that specific nutrients and green leafy vegetables are likely the nutrients that help protect you. And this helps protect you for many things. Many things that occur increasingly with aging, such as memory loss, vision problems, even eye diseases, cancer, bone loss, losing muscle, a condition called sarcopenia, severe loss of muscle and strength, Alzheimer’s disease. And this really seems to be even more relevant for women than men. Don’t get me wrong, it’s very important for men, but it seems to be crucial for women. And we’ll go into the whys of this over the course of this episode.† [00:02:00]

[00:02:03] Now, when I say that there are specific nutrients from the foods that are likely the major players in health. This is based on studies of the foods, but also separate studies of the † and it’s turning out some of these nutrients are a winner. So I’ll explain this some more, by the way, in my episode and welcome to my episode. Blue Blockers Protect You From Vision Problems and Alzheimer’s Disease. [00:02:29]

[00:02:29] Hi, my name is Jerry Hickey. I’m a pharmacist who specializes in nutrition. By the way, all of our episodes are available for free wherever you listen to podcasts or just go to invitehealth.com/podcast, please subscribe or leave us a review if you listen. You can also find us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram at InViteⓇ Health. So let’s discuss this. It’s very interesting, by the way.† [00:02:55]

[00:02:57] So a little background on the difference between women and men when it comes to diseases, especially diseases that affect the aging process. Now, in developed countries such as the United States and parts of Europe and Japan, women tend to live longer than men, approximately seven years longer on average. But here’s the paradox, the true gender paradox. Although women tend to live longer, they also have higher rates of diseases and illnesses that are not just tied into living longer. Take, for instance, neurological diseases, those associated with aging. Parkinson’s disease is a disease that occurs in the back of the brain, a part of the brain that controls your balance and your mobility and your muscle function, etc. Parkinson’s disease is more common in men. However, for most other neurodegenerative diseases, women suffer more frequently, but they also suffer at an earlier age. † [00:04:05]

[00:04:10] So even after accounting for lifespan, the longer life span those seven years difference in lifespan for women, women have a higher incidence of Alzheimer’s disease and also the other forms of dementia. Women represent approximately two thirds of all cases of dementia. Age related macular degeneration is the most common cause of vision loss and blindness in aging people and people over the age of 55. Let me explain briefly what this is. In the back of the eye, we have a retina and a retina has all of these delicate, vulnerable little organs that could be damaged. So they have to be shielded and they’re shielded by this protective barrier called your macular tissue, but the macular tissue is more than that fine vision occurs in it and a little egg yolk shaped spot called a fovea. So the macula helps prevent blue light from penetrating into the back of the eye. We’ll discuss blue light a little bit more when we get into the eye specifically. First, we’re going to touch on neurological conditions like Alzheimer’s. Then we’re going to discuss the eye. † [00:05:18]

THIS GENE INCREASES THE RISK OF ALZHEIMER’S; HOW TO FIGHT BACK – INVITE HEALTH PODCAST, EPISODE 301 >> LISTEN NOW

[00:05:20] So what happens in age related macular degeneration? And it’s something that occurs over time. It doesn’t go to an extreme case generally right away. But there’s thinning of the macular tissue and blue light waves are penetrating into the back of the eye and are damaging the retina and it can literally cause loss of central vision. About 70% of all patients with age related macular degeneration are women. This is according to the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease. They even call it Alzheimer’s of the eyes. There’s studies calling macular degeneration. Alzheimer’s of the eyes. Now, this is a little bit different. Autoimmune diseases, there’s lots of them. The most commonly known ones are multiple sclerosis. That causes damage in the nervous system of the spine and brain. Rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune disease where your immune system is attacking your joints. It’s very disfiguring. It’s very painful. Systemic lupus erythematosus, which can attack your kidneys and your liver and other internal organs. Insulin dependent diabetes, where your immune system is destroying the parts of the pancreas that release insulin. Myasthenia gravis, which is an autoimmune disease of your muscles. Scleroderma and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, which is probably the most common autoimmune disease where your own immune system is attacking your thyroid. 80% of the sufferers of autoimmune disease are women. Now, although many of these are not fatal, or at least over time, not fatal, they are highly debilitating. Of course, there were new drugs available at this point, but some of those drugs were a little bit scary themselves, but they could be lifesaving. † [00:07:20]

[00:07:21] Now let’s discuss green leafy vegetables and then brain diseases and finally eye diseases. I’m gonna discuss in a minute where men and women store nutrients because there’s a slight variation based on body fat percentage. But let’s talk about green leafy vegetables. Why are they so protective? Why is kale and broccoli and spinach and lettuce? Why are they so good for you? Well, they’re packed with many different kinds of nutrients. Now, some of these are the kind of nutrients that a dietitian would look at, like, B, vitamins, like folate. Folate lowers your risk of cancer. Folate lowers your risk of brain diseases. Vitamin C that hold you together, you connective tissue. But it’s also important for your immune system and your brain. Vitamin E, natural vitamin E, which helps protect your heart, your brain, your liver. Minerals such as magnesium, calcium. Strontium that are important for your bones and potassium, which is important for your bones and your heart health and your blood pressure. Vitamin K1; it’s important for bone health, clean arteries, metabolism. But there’s also some more obscure nutrients like glutathione.† [00:08:47]

[00:08:48] My old friend, Doctor Allan Pressman, wrote a book called The Glutathione Phenomenon. He called Glutathione the Mother of All Antioxidants, which it kind of is because it refurbishes them, recycles them like vitamins C and vitamin E, it keeps them going. So glutathione is dominant in the eyes and brain for protecting it. It’s very important. Sulforaphane you find out in cabbage related vegetables that helps do that helps fight viruses that host protected bacteriophage but it’s very good for helping the liver dispose of toxins and chemicals that’s found in green leafy vegetables. Glucuronic acid that helps protect your colon. That’s found in cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and bok choy and broccoli rabe. Indole-3-carbinol, which has antiviral activities, which is important for women’s breasts and their ovaries and their uterus, and your vulva and men’s prostate found in cabbage, vegetables. We’ve done everything. Basically, I’m discussing right here, we’ve done podcast episodes on and so if you want to look it up, we have it. But there’s really warriors and these vegetables for your vision, your brain and memory and possibly you’re hearing, for instance, natural beta carotene. † [00:10:02]

ARE PUMPKINS HEALTHY? – INVITE HEALTH PODCAST, EPISODE 449 >> LISTEN NOW

[00:10:04] Beta carotene is converted to a form of vitamin A that’s very important for the eyes, for your skin, for your immune system. But beta carotene is also found in the auditory processing part of the brain in abundance, where, you know, you’re you’re you’re translating sounds into words. Lutein and Zeaxanthin and this is where I’m going with this Lutein and Zeaxanthin are warriors for your brain and your vision. If you look at the data on age, variations, Lutein and Zeaxanthin are incredibly important for the brain at any point in your life. And infants date the dominant pigments, they make up about 60% of the pigments in the brain. But in somebody who’s 100 years old, they might only make up 25%. So we need more. We need more. Because I’m going to go into all the things they do for the brain that we know of. It’s really interesting. † [00:11:06]

[00:11:08] Lutein and Zeaxanthin are carotenoids. Carotenoids are pigments in vegetables and fruits that are highly protective of the of the plants, but also of humans. For instance, lycopene is the red stuff in a lot of fruits like tomatoes. And lycopene has been shown to help block a whole bunch of cancers, breast cancer and colon cancer and prostate cancer, just to name a few. But they’re very common cancers. And it’s really good for the heart, you circulatory system and your skin, that’s where it gets into your skin and makes the skin look nice but it also helps protect the skin from the sun. The sun could be a disaster for your skin. Beta carotene you’ve heard of many times. Beta carotene is essential for building your skin and your tissues, you go blind without it, you need it for your vision, it’s important for your immune system. And then there’s Lutein and Zeaxanthin. These are very common carotenoids. And in humans these are very important carotenoids in humans there’s alpha carotene, there’s gamma carotene, there’s vital fluorine, there’s Cryptoxantin and Beta-Cryptoxantin and they’re all important. † [00:12:17]

[00:12:19] Many of these are incredibly powerful, incredibly important antioxidants that protect our health and protect our lifespan. They protect ourselves when we’re converting sugar and oxygen into energy. The little power plants called mitochondria, our cells are loaded with them, are very efficient at converting sugar and oxygen into energy. Humans are high energy animals, we’re high energy organisms. I mean, we’re active all day long, right? And we need a lot of energy, the problem is there’s byproducts of this energy production. It’s like a double edged sword, you need the oxygen and the sugar for energy, but at the same time, things leak out of these little power plants called mitochondria, that are toxic. They’re toxic species, they’re call free radicals. They can destroy your cells, they can kill your cells, they can cause disease, they can age you at a very rapid rate. So when we have low levels of these antioxidants, these are key antioxidants for humans. The carotenoid pigments, the lutein, the lycopene, the zeaxanthin, the beta carotene, they’re key antioxidants, they’re at the core of a long, healthy life. † [00:13:33]

[00:13:35] When we’re alone, these antioxidants, we develop oxidative stress everywhere in the body, including in the brain. So the oxygen is becoming a problem. You’re developing things like peroxides, hydrogen peroxide, H2O2, two parts hydrogen, two parts oxygen. And this, of course, is a solvent, it destroys tissues. And these free radicals that cause oxidative stress, they create inflammation. And the inflammation damages our cells, kills our cells, damages our organs, damages our systems, things don’t work properly and eventually it damages our health. I mean, a very strong example of that, a very vivid example, is the damage to the lungs of people in hospitals with COVID-19 when they couldn’t breathe. That’s a very powerful example of what inflammation and free radicals can do in the human body. So these foods supply these nutrients that are the antidotes to oxidative stress, especially lutein and zeaxanthin and lycopene. Lutein and zeaxanthin are pretty much dominant from the neck up, like in the eyes and in the brain, where lycopene is dominant from the neck down. They’re very important pigments. So let’s talk about where these nutrients are stored. The difference between men and women, lutein and zeaxanthin and all the other carotenoids and many vitamins and minerals can be fatty soluble. They’re stored in fat. The certain vitamins like vitamin D and vitamin A, very important nutrients like Ubiquinol that gives you energy, and metabolism, and is great for your heart, lutein, zeaxanthin, lycopene. All of these things are fatty soluble and they get stored in fat. Minerals can wind up stored in fat. † [00:15:30]

[00:15:32] So women in general have about 20% more body fat than men. Now we’re talking about people who are, you know, healthy. They’re not obese, they’re not 300, 400 pounds. So let’s talk about pregnancy during pregnancy, the lutein and Zeaxanthin is being used for the fetus in development, etc. The lutein and Zeaxanthin are important for the development of the brain, of children, of infants, of embryos. So you don’t have a very good available reservoir of antioxidants for the woman, and this is less available to their eyes and brain. This is unhealthy and it’s a cause of inflammaging in women. So these nutrients getting locked up in the fat leads to a lack of antioxidants, free radicals cause oxidative stress, and this leads to inflammation, which they actually call now inflammaging. Some people are just so inflamed, like people who are out of control diabetics or people with severe liver disease, etc. they’re so inflamed. It’s terrible for the aging process that accelerates, the aging process it leads to diseases, and sadly, it’s more likely to happen in women. So women have this built in vulnerability that most of them are not aware of, but it can be turned around if they’re made aware, and they can focus on nutrients and green leafy vegetables and other healthy foods and maybe adding additional lutein and zeaxanthin to their diet as a supplement. I think that’s very important, actually. † [00:17:18]

[00:17:21] So just to rehash the carotenoids, their pigments, they’re fatty soluble. So they get trapped in the fat, they’re prone to going into fat. They’re very powerful, fat soluble antioxidants, and therefore they’re anti-inflammatory nutrients. So they help prevent the diseases of aging. This is key, including in the brain and eyes. They help prevent eye diseases. They help prevent brain diseases. So why should this be an issue more so for women‘s brain? Why are so many cases of Alzheimer’s women? In general, the brain is about 60% fat. The dry weight of the brain is something like 2 pounds, it’s about 60% fat. Fat can go bad, fat can go rancid. Antioxidants, fatty, soluble antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin strongly help prevent this type of cell damage in the brain. Now, every time you inhale, 60% of that oxygen is pumped up into your brain. So if you have not enough, if you have insufficient levels of lutein and zeaxanthin, this allows the oxygen to go bad during the energy process, creating peroxides. This causes oxidative stress, this causes inflammation, this causes inflamaging of the brain, an aging of the brain due to cell damage and cell death. This inflammation this pro-inflammatory condition is called inflamaging. It can lead to really severe disease of the brain. † [00:18:56]

[00:18:57] You know what? I didn’t realize this would be such a long episode. I think I better cut it short now, and we’ll call this part one of the episode.

*Intro music*

Melissa Bistricer, RDN: [00:00:39] Welcome back to another podcast at InViteⓇ Health. Ever feel like you’re working out but not getting the proper nutrition? Well, today is your lucky day. We will be discussing muscle health through maintaining or building, getting the proper nutrition you may need. My name is Melissa Bistricer and I am a registered dietitian. I am so excited to bring to you the nutritional aspect of nutrients here at InViteⓇ Health. Nutrition food for thought: Proper nutrition is the key to unlock your body’s potential. InViteⓇ Health promotes an integrative approach in providing vitamins into your daily life to increase your quality of life. In conjunction with nutrients, it is also important to learn and include other lifestyle modifications like nutrition, exercise and sleep. These practices with the use of vitamins will provide an optimal benefit in your daily life.† [00:01:29]

[00:01:30] Now let’s get into the topic of nutrition for muscle building and maintaining. This is an extremely complex topic with many different areas to go into. But let’s just stick to the basics. Diet and some basic supplements may help to maintain and build muscles. In muscle maintaining and building, the key nutrient is protein. Protein is extremely important, but what is protein? Protein contains essential amino acids and non-essential amino acids. Amino acids are building blocks of our proteins in the body. Essential amino acids are those that our body cannot produce on its own. It must be eaten or supplemented. A complete protein is that it would have all the essential amino acids in the body that needs to repair and grow. This is why protein is extremely important post-workout to restore muscle building and maintenance. Protein should be consumed on a daily basis. This is because the body is not able to store protein. Therefore, if you eat an excessive amount of protein, it is converted for energy or stored as fat. The general rule of thumb is for healthy individuals to consume about 0.8 to 1 gram of protein per kilogram. To maintain a lean muscle mass, it is important to consume 1.2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight each day from foods. Protein food that is considered beneficial is lean cuts of meats, eggs, fish, whole grains, beans and lentils. So to gain muscle while losing fat, an individual can consume up to 2 to 2.4 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight. It is important to discuss with medical providers to see what the appropriate amount of protein is for your body.† [00:03:13]

[00:03:13] According to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, men and women should participate in muscle strengthening activities to help all muscle groups at least two times a week. To support muscle building and strengthening, you need good nutrition. Foods that provide protein, carbs and fats play an important role throughout the body. In order to build and maintain muscle, we need to make sure that we’re getting approximately 10 to 35% of total calories coming from protein for adults. This is to make sure we are working out to build muscles with physical activity. Therefore, you need to be closer to the 35% range of total calories of protein to ensure proper muscle maintenance or growth.† [00:03:54]

[00:03:55] Now let’s look into specific supplements for muscle health that are essential for the body to function. These vitamins plays a significant role in muscle growth and muscle recovery. Vitamin D is essential for muscles to function. A study was completed that Vitamin D deficiency leads to proximal weakness and can reduce muscle mass. This can get individuals at risk of falling, and Vitamin D can be beneficial for customers suffering from muscle pain or weakness. Vitamin A is important for muscle growth. The body requires Vitamin A for protein synthesis, and the process is essential in increasing muscle mass. Vitamin C is another important vitamin for muscle health. It is an antioxidant and helps to protect muscles from any damage done by oxidative stress. Vitamin C has a role in collagen, which is necessary to help provide strength and structure to the body. And lastly, Vitamin E is crucial for building strong muscles. This plays an important role in repairing the plasma membrane of the cells. The plasma membrane of the cells is treated more frequently due to Vitamin E being essential for muscle cells. If the membrane is not repaired, it can cause cell death, leading to muscle wasting disease. It is very important to have serum levels tested to assess the dosages, especially for Vitamin D, as that determines if you need more or less based on your lab results.† [00:05:24]

https://www.invitehealth.com/podcast?epc=invitehealthpodcast

[00:05:25] Branched chain amino acids are important in a speedy recovery and to build muscles. The formula at InViteⓇ Health is created by Dr. Pressman called Amino Acid Growth Factors, which is beneficial in supporting the formulation of growth factors for muscle accreditation, which continues the break down and synthesis of proteins in the body with recycling of amino acids. This formula is extremely unique in helping build up and strengthening the immune system, the digestive track lining and circulatory health. The amino acids in this formula that are beneficial for muscle health are l-glutamine, l-lysine, l-arginine and glycine. Let’s talk a little bit about each one. L-glutamine helps overall muscles to recover after physical activity and helps to reduce muscle soreness through repairing glycogen depletion. Maintaining a high nitrogen balance is important in preventing muscle breakdown and retaining more muscle. When glutamine is consumed, it helps muscle protein synthesis, specifically after exercising. If there is a microtear, this can help the muscle fiber and tissue. Glutamine intake helps with protein synthesis to build muscle and prevent muscle wastage or damage. L-glutamine is not only beneficial for muscle health, but can also boost the immune cell activity in the gut, help prevent infection or inflammation and energy production. L-lysine works in conjunction with arginine. If you have a healthy amount of arginine, lysine will increase plasma levels of human growth hormones. This can result in athletes building muscle and improving performance. Also, lysine reduces the rate of catabolism. Catabolism is the breakdown of complex molecules in living organisms that form similar ones. Together, they release energy. A low level of lysine has been previously linked to slow slowdown of protein synthesis. Protein synthesis is important in helping the body rebuild muscle after a workout. Exercising your muscles causes them to break down muscle protein. Lysine can help to rebuild muscle tissue and help in recovery process after a workout. L-lysine is also beneficial to help our immune systems, overall well-being, energy production and bone health.† [00:07:33]

[00:07:33] L-arginine is an amino acid precursor to nitric oxide. The purpose of l-arginine is to increase vasodilation, therefore elevating blood flow to exercising muscle and enhancing the metabolic responses to exercise the precursor for the vasodilator nitric oxide, since l-arginine promotes endurance and muscle conditioning. When nitric oxide is released, it can widen the blood vessels by relaxing the muscles of their walls. The body uses the protein l-arginine to help build muscle and rebuild tissues. According to a study published by the Journal of Applied Psychology, healthy volunteers who drank six grams of l-arginine were able to exercise longer and use oxygen better than those in the placebo group. L-arginine can also increase strength through the building of muscle mass for bodybuilding. Glycine, amongst other non-essential amino acids, helps bone health through the production of insulin and insulin-like growth factor 1, along with the synthesis of collagen, which helps to support bone tissue and muscle health throughout the body. Glycine can prevent muscles from breaking down by boosting the levels of creatine in the body. Creatine is a compound found in the muscle cells and made by glycine. Boosting creatine in the muscles helps to support instant bursts of activity, such as weight lifting and sprinting. Glycine also contributes to inhibition of muscular deterioration, which boosts muscle recovery. Glycine also helps to provide cells with energy, ramping up production of ATP for working muscle tissues, boosting endurance, strength and performance.† [00:09:12]

[00:09:13] Whey protein has essential amino acids, protein that is provided as building blocks needed for overall health. The protein powder has a blend of essential proteins that are derived from whey, a liquid substance that is naturally a byproduct of cheese products. Whey protein isolate is an improved form of essential amino acids needed in the body having the fat, casein and lactase removed. Whey protein is hydrolyzed, which is predigested, which is optimal absorption, this way the body can quickly get the health benefits. Whey protein can help to support lean body mass and help to restore muscle protein and that can repair consistently due to daily wear and tear from vigorous workouts. The whey protein powder helps improve satiety levels or filling fullness when taken after a meal, so getting exposure can come in many different ways.† [00:10:03]

[00:10:03] My advice for muscle maintenance or building is having a balanced diet. Though it is important to consume enough protein in a diet, but also taking supplements to supplement the diet when lacking can be adding a healthy vitamin to get essential micronutrients in the body and to start taking the Dr. Pressman Amino Acid Growth Factors. And don’t forget the Whey Protein Powder, too. This can benefit your overall health and targets to benefit the multitude of pathways in the body.
