9 September 2018 -- Bone health is as important to men as it is to women because the loss of bone density effects both sexes as they age. A decrease in bone density can lead to fractures, including major breaks like hip fractures that can be fatal. Bone loss from aging may also lead to osteoporosis, a crippling bone disease. An associate professor at the University of Missouri, Pam Hinton, leads research on bone health. She has recently conducted a study on physical activity and bone health, including if exercise can keep bones dense or make them more dense. Her research into bone health is important to both sexes because a decrease in bone density can lead to osteoporosis fractures and she has found that one-in-four men will have a fracture of this type in their lifetime.

Decreased bone density is often thought of as an issue women face in their post menopausal years. Studies have come to show that men have difficulty with keeping their bones healthy in their later years as well. Since breaks that happen because of falls can effect mobility as you age and should be avoided. Therefore, it is important for both men and women to take an active approach to bone health as they age.

Bone health is measured mostly in bone mass. When bone because porous, it loses its density and becomes weak. In the worst case scenario, loss of bone mass leads to osteoporosis. According to the 'the risk of fracture is increased approximately two-fold in osteopenic individuals and five-fold in people with osteopenia'. The facts go on to say, 'Risk factors for osteoporosis in men are similar to those identified in women: family history, age, low body weight, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, inadequate calcium or vitamin D intake, low reproductive hormone levels, physical inactivity, and disease or medication affecting bone metabolism'.

The study suggests that both men and women need to take active steps towards keeping their bones healthy. These steps not only include regular exercise, but also weight bearing exercise and proper nutrition through diet and supplements. The researchers in her study measured bone mineral density in 43 competitive male cyclists and runners ages 20 to 59. They found that 63 percent of the cyclists had osteopenia of the spine or hip compared with 19 percent of the runners. The study shows the type of exercise you do for your bone health matters.

Supplementing ones diet with bone and joint health supplements may also be effective in fighting bone loss from the natural effects of aging for men and women.

Nutriden believes that weight bearing exercise is part of a fit routine that will lead to building and maintaining healthy bones, along with a healthy diet that includes our Nutriden Bone Health Calcium Supplement.

Sep 6th 2018 -- As part of the company launching into the marketplace, Nutriden is re launching its new Bone and Joint HealthSupplements that contains Vitamin C, which has been associated with reducing risk of bone fractures.

Most people know that Vitamin C is an important nutrient, but most are not aware of its value in relation to building and maintaining bone health. Many people first learn about the value of Vitamin C in school where it is introduced through history’s explorers and their poor nutrient- lacking diets that caused many of them to get scurvy. However, scurvy is not really a common occurrence now in developed countries, but developing bone health diseases, including suffering from bone fractures are still a risk.

Building bone density is important in reducing the risk of osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, and bone fractures. Studies have associated the following with Vitamin C intake:

• The bone benefits of Vitamin C appear to be particularly striking for women who smoke or are on hormone replacement therapy.
• In animal studies, Vitamin C helped prevent the bone loss associated with ovary removal. In this study, the researchers suggest that Vitamin C could prevent “low turnover osteoporosis” — which is a type of bone loss associated with ovary removal. Bone turnover involves the on-going process by which old bone is broken and new bone formed. Low bone turnover, means low bone renewal.
• Higher intake of Vitamin C has been associated with a lower rate of bone loss as we age. Equally, many studies report that individuals with osteoporosis have lower levels of Vitamin C.

Additionally, as presented by Osteoporosis International, Volume 20 (2009), studies have also associated the following with Vitamin C intake for reducing the risk of bone fractures and speeding fracture healing:

• Higher intake of Vitamin C is associated with a reduced risk of bone fractures, while low levels of ascorbic acid have been reported in patients experiencing hip fracture. For example, in the 15-year Framingham Osteoporosis Study, participants with the highest intake of total Vitamin C had significantly fewer fractures compared to those with the lowest Vitamin C intake.
• Vitamin C aids in fracture healing. In both human and animal studies, adequate Vitamin C levelsare consistently found to speed fracture healing.

Abone healing supplement containing Vitamin C offers additional osteo support for the healing of bone fractures.

As part of the company launching into the marketplace, Nutriden is re launching its new Bone and Joint Health Supplements that contains Vitamin K, which has been associated with supporting bone density and reducing risk of bone fractures.

The University of Marilyn Medical Center describes Vitamin K and its role as, “a fat-soluble vitamin, so your body stores it in fat tissue and the liver. It is best known for its role in helping blood clot, or coagulate, properly. The "K" comes from its German name, Koagulationsvitamin.”

Building bone density is important in reducing the risk of osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, and bone fractures. Studies cited by The National Center for Biotechnology Information have associated the following with Vitamin K intake:

• human intervention studies have demonstrated that Vitamin K can not only increase bone mineral density in osteoporotic people but also actually reduce fracture rates.
• human intervention studies show there is evidence in that Vitamins K and D, a classic in bone metabolism, works synergistically on bone density.
• human intervention studies show emerging evidence that Vitamin K(1) at a much lower dose may also benefit bone health, in particular when coadministered with Vitamin D.

Vitamin K is often referred to as “the forgotten vitamin,” because many of its other benefits besides its role in helping blood clot are overlooked, or, are not known. Recent research has shown that having adequate Vitamin K is important in preventing heart disease, osteoporosis, diabetes, and even Alzheimer’s disease. Additionally, people who are taking or have taken antibiotics for other health conditions should be aware that anitbiotics can reduce the absorption of Vitamin K in the body. By taking them for more than 10 days, it might lower levels of Vitamin K because these drugs kill not only harmful bacteria but also the bacteria that make Vitamin K.

Nutriden Re Launches Its New Bone and Joint Health Supplements to Support Healthy Bones For Men, Women and Children

---

Sep 5^th, 2018 --As part of the company’s launch into the marketplace, Nutriden is re launching its new Advanced Bone and Joint Health Supplements which is ideal for men, women and children.

According to the National Osteoporosis Foundation (NOF) “Osteoporosis is a major public health threat for an estimated 54 million Americans. Studies show that one in two women and up to one in four men over age 50 will break a bone due to osteoporosis in their lifetime. NOF works to improve patient care and support for those who have broken bones due to osteoporosis and to educate the public to prevent osteoporosis and broken bones and promote strong bones for life”.

Nutriden “recognizes the importance of supporting bone health with Organic Calcium Supplements, minerals and vitamins including Vitamin C, and Vitamin D and that these important nutrients play a critical role in ensuring osteoporsis doesn’t become a reality in later years.”

According to the National Institute of Health Osteoporosis and Related Bone Diseases National Resource Center as published on their website:

“Osteoporosis, the disease that causes bones to become less dense and more prone to fractures, has been called “a pediatric disease with geriatric consequences,” because the bone mass attained in childhood and adolescence is an important determinant of lifelong skeletal health. The health habits your kids are forming now can make, or literally break, their bones as they age.

Why Is Childhood Such an Important Time for Bone Development?

Bones are the framework for your child’s growing body. Bone is living tissue that changes constantly, with bits of old bone being removed and replaced by new bone. You can think of bone as a bank account, where (with your help) your kids make “deposits” and “withdrawals” of bone tissue. During childhood and adolescence, much more bone is deposited than withdrawn as the skeleton grows in both size and density.

For most people, the amount of bone tissue in the skeleton (known as bone mass) peaks by their late twenties. At that point, bones have reached their maximum strength and density. Up to 90 percent of peak bone mass is acquired by age 18 in girls and age 20 in boys, which makes youth the best time for your kids to “invest” in their bone health.”

As part of the company’s re launch into, Nutriden is launching its new bone and joint health supplements for people who can't wait to benefit from the quality ingredients used to aid in building and maintaining bone health.

The main minerals and vitamins associated with a quality bone health product are: calcium, Vitamin D-3 (Cholecalciferol) and Vitamin K-1 (Phytomenadione) and Nutriden’s new bone and joint vitamin contains all three.

Calcium

The main benefits of calcium are as follows: the human body requires calcium to build and maintain strong bones, the heart, muscles and nerves also need calcium to function properly, additionally some studies suggest that calcium, along with Vitamin D, may have benefits beyond bone health: perhaps protecting against diabetes and high blood pressure.

Vitamin D-3

Vitamin D-3 (cholecalciferol)is a fat-soluble vitamin that helps your body absorb calcium and phosphorus. Vitamin D is used to treat and prevent bone disorders (such as rickets, osteomalacia).

Taking enough Vitamin D is important for the regulation of calcium and phosphorus absorption, maintenance of healthy bones and teeth, and is suggested to supply a protective effect against multiple diseases and conditions such as Type1 diabetes and multiple sclerosis.

Vitamin K-1

Vitamin K-1 is most well-known for treating blood disorders. This vitamin works by supplying a required component for making a number of blood clotting factors. Additionally, Vitamin K is required for bone protein formation. Protein is important to the integrity of bone, organs, and body systems at all life stages.

Canada, July 24^th, 2018 -- George Yancy's important book Backlash now in audio, narrated by the author, with a foreword written and narrated by philosopher and political activist Dr. Cornel West: for all readers with the courage and care to act for racial and social justice. (Library Journal)

“Direct and honest, Yancy’s delineations of white violence, white indifference, and white naïveté are both thoughtful and discomforting.” (Publishers Weekly)

“George Yancy’s courageous appeal to White America ‘to confront the problem of whiteness; to cultivate a critical awareness of the specter of whiteness and white privilege that each one of you inherits’ elicited a remarkable range of responses, some hideous beyond words, some welcoming what he rightly called a ‘gift.’ This eloquent meditation on the events and their meaning calls on us, with piercing honesty, to think hard, and work hard, to excise the malignancy of white supremacy from our culture and our lives.” (Noam Chomsky)

Do white Americans benefit from racism?

When George Yancy wrote his controversial New York Times op-ed entitled “Dear White America” he asked white Americans to confront the ways that they benefit from racism. He was unprepared for the anger it would cause.

In Backlash, Yancy expands upon the original article, documents the controversy it created, and seeks to understand what it was about the op-ed that created so much rage among so many white readers. He challenges white Americans to rise above the hatred and to develop a new empathy for the African American experience.

George Yancy is Professor of Philosophy at Emory University. He is the author, editor and co-editor of over 18 books. He is known for his influential essays and interviews in the New York Times' philosophy column, The Stone. He resides in Atlanta, Georgia.

Research study shows that painkillers don't work as well when on sleep deprived subjects.

---

Canada, July 21^st, 2018 -- A new study has come out to say that your painkillers may not work as well if you are sleep deprived and that taking a Natural Sleep Aid can help with pain management. The study was completed at the Boston Children's Hospital and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC), both in Boston, MA, and their findings were published in the journal Nature Medicine. Co-led by brain physiologist Alban Latremoliere, Ph.D. and sleep physiologist Chloe Alexandre, Ph.D., the team of researchers found surprising connections between pain sensitivity and sleep deprivation. This is concerning as millions of Americans suffer from chronic and severe pain daily, which can be the cause of their sleep deprivation.

The study specifically investigated the impact of acute and chronic sleep deprivation on the sensitivity to painful and non-painful stimuli. The studies were preformed on mice. The findings of the study were stated simply: "The consequences of chronic insufficient sleep for health remain uncertain.  Sleep quality and duration predict presence of pain the next day in healthy subjects suggesting that sleep disturbances alone may worsen pain, and experimental sleep deprivation in humans supports this claim."

Some of the more interesting facts about the study come in the way the mice were actually sleep deprived. Researchers 'entertained' the mice, keeping them awake. This mimicked the way most humans become sleep deprived.     Team lead  Chloe Alexandre, Ph.D. said, "We found that 5 consecutive days of moderate sleep deprivation can significantly exacerbate pain sensitivity over time in otherwise healthy mice. The response was specific to pain, and was not due to a state of general hyperexcitability to any stimuli." Therefore the study showed moderate sleep deprivation is as bad as severe or chronic sleep deprivation.

As for pain that is created by sleeplessness, like a groggy headache, pain killers had little or no effect on elevating this pain. As sleeplessness most times accompanies chronic pain, this is a real problem for those who get caught up in the sleep/pain cycle. The findings suggest that patients with chronic pain who use common painkillers may have to increase their dose if they are also sleep deprived or they can add a sleep aid like Nutriden Advanced Sleep Aid Supplement. Nutriden Advanced Sleep Aid supplements the brain’s natural melatonin production and introducing GABA, a neuro-inhibitor transmitter, can promote calming focus. Getting a healthy amount of sleep for the chronic pain suffer can help with their pain management. Nutriden can help with sleep problems and thereby help painkillers work.

Nutriden Sleep Formula Contains L-Theanine (Amino Acid in Green Tea).

---

Canada, July 19^th, 2018 -- Nutriden is re launching its new Sleep aid formula for its customers who have trouble sleeping and can't wait to benefit again from the quality ingredients, such as L-theanine, used to aid in getting a good night’s sleep and being able to still perform safely the next day.

L-theanine is an amino acid found in green tea. L-theanineincreases alpha wave activity in the brain and this type of brain wave is associated with the most relaxed sleep state.

The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) recognizesL-theanineas a “GRAS” (Generally Recognized As Safe) substance, which has lead many people to use it safely for decreasing generalized anxiety, for stress reduction, and for reducing the severity of insomnia.

According to a research study on L-theanine’s effect on mental state by Nobre, Rao, and Owen (2008) L-theanine’s effect on the brain can be visualized on an EEG. Brain waves are actually smoothed out by L-theanine. The body is relaxed, the mind is calmed, but no drowsiness occurs making it a safer option than prescribed sleeping pills to use for sleep enhancement. Additionally, according to Dr. Rubman (Naturopathic Doctor), there is also no evidence that L-theanine can become addictive as many sleeping pills can, making it an excellent ingredient for an All Natural Sleep Aid.

Most “sleeping pills” are problematic due to side effects and dependence. Taking sleeping pills has been associated with next-day increased risk for motor vehicle accidents and/or related accidents operating heavy machinery. Due to this increased next-day safety risk, many have turned to natural sleep aids like L-theanine. Another study published in 2015 investigated the effect of L-theanine on sleep. The results of this study suggest taking L-theanine may enhance sleep qualityvia a non-sedating anxiolytic effect. In plain language, it reduces anxiety, promotes alpha brain waves, and allows people that are stressed to sleep without adverse next-day side effects.

Advantages of using L-theanine over traditional sleeping pills is that L-theanine doesn’t cause next-day drowsiness. Researchers noted that doses up to 2000 mg per day produced no significant adverse effects.

L-Theanine is a great option for people who understand that a safe, next day should follow a good night’s sleep.
