You have quite possible heard of this in regards heart health. Have your heard that high levels of it might affect your bones as well? In the article find out more about homocysteine and this new discovery - Yet another reason to eat healthy! Best of health! Laura _______________________________________________________ NUTRITION TIP (Part 1): _______________________________________________________ High Homocysteine Hurts Hips By James Kenney, PhD, RD, LD, FACN For many years doctors have known that people with very high levels of homocysteine in their blood often develop severe osteoporosis early in life. As homocysteine levels rise above 9 mg/dl, the risk of heart attacks, strokes and developing Alzheimer??™s disease goes up. There is already more than enough reason to take steps to lower the homocysteine level in the blood if it is moderately elevated but until the results of a new study were published in the New England Journal of Medicine in May there was no good evidence that lower homocysteine levels might also prevent damage to the bones leading to hip fractures. Hip fractures are the number-one cause of elderly people being forced into nursing homes. Researchers in Holland found that the people in a test group whose homocysteine levels were in the top 25% were twice as likely to suffer a hip fracture as those whose homocysteine levels were in the bottom 25% of the group. The authors of this study conclude, "An increased homocysteine level appears to be a strong and independent risk factor for osteoporotic fracture in older men and women."(1) [Read below for the conclusion of this article...] _______________________________________________________ SpywareBiz,,,We take the Spy out of Spyware!

Well-known for his holistic approaches to physical and mental health, physician Weil loves good food. Not one to settle for bland albeit health- promoting fare, Weil insists that not only are low-fuss, delicious meals and good health more easily attainable than most Americans imagine, they actually go hand in hand. Coauthor and former Oprah Winfrey chef Daley, provides recipes that, for the most part, reflect Weil's conception of the optimum diet. All of the 135 recipes include nutrition counts (calories, fat, cholesterol, etc.). According to Weil, eating has become yet another stressful activity that must be fit into jam-packed days. To remedy this, Weil and Daley not only offer satisfying recipes that make use of nourishing, readily available ingredients, they give tips on stocking the pantry, preparation, reading food labels and daily menu planning.

By contrast diets high in fatty meats like hot dogs, sausages, bologna and pepperoni markedly increase the level of homocysteine in th blood. Fasting homocysteine levels tend to be elevated in people who eat fewer whole grains, fruits, vegetables and non-fat dairy products. There is already convincing evidence that lowering high cholesterol levels reduces the risk of osteoporosis and hip fractures. This new data demonstrates a strong connection between modestly elevated homocysteiene levels and an increased risk in hip fractures, which provides another reason to discourage Americans from following diets high in protein, salt and animal fats and low in fruits, vegetables, whole grains and legumes.
