THE VALLEY BUSINESS JOURNAL 20 www.TheValleyBusinessJournal.com March 2017 Loma Linda University School of Public Health is hosting the Healthy People in Healthy Communities Conference, an annual event now in its 44th year. The conference will be held on March 2 and 3 at the Drayson Center, and will present its First Annual Symposium on Blue Zone Science and Health. The concept of blue zone areas is used to identify a demographic and/or geographic area of the world where people live measurably longer lives. Dan Buettner, founder of the Blue Zones® Project and National Geographic Fellow, will be on hand to offer the keynote address on day one and participate in several informative sessions. Also, for the first time, research teams from the five demographically and epidemiologically confirmed blue zone regions (the Italian island of Sardinia; Okinawa, Japan; Costa Rica’s isolated Nicoya Peninsula; Ikaria, an isolated Greek island; and Loma Linda, California), will congregate under the same roof, to share their research findings and draw present day application for modern communities. Michel Poulan, PhD, Sardinia blue zone area, AKEA study; Christodoublous Stafanidis, MD, Ikaria blue zone area; IKARIA study, Makoto Suzuki MD, PhD Okinawa blue zone area, Okinawa Cenenarion Study; Luis Rosero-Bixby, Nicoya blue zone area; Estudio de Longevidad y Envejecimiento Saludable, and Gary Fraser, Loma Linda, California blue zone area, Adventist Health Study, will each present research findings from their respective areas. The Symposium on Blue Zone Science and Health underscores Loma Linda University Health’s legacy of promoting health, longevity and wholeness, while creating a platform for exploring the role of blue zone areas as a paradigm for public health practice.

Gottlieb, Albrecht, D.C. D.C. You Can Build Bone Density: Science and Our Clients Prove it Everyday! We often hear that time seems to fly by quicker as we age, and personally speaking, it couldn’t be more true. I can’t believe it has been two and a half years since OsteoStrong Murrieta opened its doors. Our mission was to save people, without the use of drugs, from the devastating effects of low bone density, also known as osteoporosis. It appears that our mission is finally getting some traction, so to speak. With literally hundreds of members utilizing our patented BioDensity protocol, we have routinely been able to demonstrate marked improvements in bone density, all without the use of any bone altering medications. I am excited to say that we even seeing members who have returned their bone density back to within normal levels, as demonstrated with a central Dexa Scan. That being said, even with all the research and evidence for utilizing osteogenic loading (OsteoStrong protocol) as the premier method for reversing osteoporosis, at times I continue to hear bits of misinformation, which I would like to briefly address. First, osteoporosis in not a “normal” state of aging which one must accept and live with permanently. It is a state of deconditioning which can be effectively stopped and/or reversed. Second, it is not an issue that just happens to “other people, and not me”. Low bone density is so prevalent that 3 out of 5 women will suffer from it and 50% of women will suffer some form of osteoporotic related fracture at some point in their life. And remember, hip fractures arising from osteoporosis have nearly a 25% mortality rate within one year. The next misconception is important to take note off. Drinking milk, eating yogurt or taking calcium supplements does not build bone density. Without the proper stimulus to trigger bone growth, nothing happens. The true equation goes as follows: Adequate force (compression) on bone + proper mineral intake = bone growth. Think of it this way; taking extra protein powder does not make your muscles grow. Only resistance to the muscle combined with adequate protein intake will do the trick. And speaking of resistance training, I must lay this one myth to rest. Nothing against weight training or going to the gym, which I believe would benefit almost everyone, but many personal trainers and health club sales people will tell you that working out with weights is an effective means of gaining bone density. The vast amount of research on the subject would prove otherwise. Yes, high impact activities and heavy resistance training may slow down your bone loss, but are ineffective at stopping and even reversing osteopenia or osteoporosis. The current research states that an axial force of at least 4.02 multiples of your bodyweight is necessary for proper osteoblast stimulation (aka- bone growth). This is the primary reason why osteogenic loading under the supervision of a trained technician at our OsteoStrong location is the safest, most efficient and cost effective means of attaining the strongest bones possible, all without the side effects of drugs and medications. Throw in the added side benefits of improved balance, decreased joint and back pain along with marked increases in muscular strength, and you have a natural alternative method of improving your health and life. And please don’t think for a second that OsteoStrong is only for weak boned and those slightly advanced in years. There are massive benefits to those still in their formative bone building years (under 22 that is). So please give us a call or stop by and experience what OsteoStrong can do for you.

March 2017 THE VALLEY BUSINESS JOURNAL www.TheValleyBusinessJournal.com 7 Signs of Sugar Overload 21 The holidays have come and gone, but many of us are stuck in a terrible eating pattern. It’s normal to indulge in a bit more sugar in December, but then we forget to go back to our regular, healthier habits once all of the celebrations are over! You might already be nodding your head, because you’re aware of your “guilty” status. Or, you might have slipped into poor habits without even realizing it. If any of the following signs apply to you, you’re eating too much sugar lately. You feel tired often. A diet loaded with simple carbohydrates will skyrocket your blood sugar levels, followed shortly after by a crash. This leaves you feeling tired, and often grumpy. You probably can’t concentrate well, either. You’re craving sugar. That same blood sugar roller coaster leaves you craving even more sugar. Once you kick the habit, sugar cravings usually subside within a few weeks. Everything tastes more bitter. When you eat too much sugar, you’re training your taste buds to prefer sweetness. After a while, healthy, low-sugar foods taste more bitter than they really are, making you less likely to enjoy healthy fare like salads. Your “guilt” is written all over your face. A diet heavy in sugar causes hormonal imbalances and weakens your immune system, leaving you prone to acne breakouts. You’ve been sick lately. Speaking of that weakened immune system, have you been extra susceptible to illness recently? Blame the sugar. Your dentist is perturbed with you (or happy, considering the size of your last bill!) A diet heavy in sugar is going to cause problems like cavities and inflamed gums. You have to fix the damage now, but in the future a low-sugar diet can prevent these problems from happening again. You’ve gained weight. This is probably the most obvious sign of all. Your pants are tight, and the bathroom scale is giving you a number you don’t like. Sugar is one of the biggest culprits in weight problems. If any of these symptoms sound familiar, you know what you need to do. Cut back on the sugar, and fill your plate with wholesome fruits, veggies, lean protein sources, and whole grains. In a few weeks you’ll feel better, and your taste buds will acclimate and appreciate a healthy diet once again. Steve Amante is the owner of Amante & Associates Insurance Solutions, Inc.
