Get your individual genetic profile, personal diet and lifestyle advice with the Gene SNP™ DNA Analysis Kit. The revised Health Assessment Report provides an individually customized nutritional formula for maintaining long-term health and vigor, as well as a guide to vitamins and minerals, general information on genes, nutrition and health, and other invaluable resources.
Many pieces of evidence support the fact that corticotropin-releasing hormones (CRH) play a role in the pathophysiology of major depression. Three SNPs were identified in CRHR1 gene and genotyped in the samples of patients diagnosed with major depression and matched controls. These results support the idea that the CRHR1 gene is likely to be involved in the genetic vulnerability for major depression.
Genetic variants in immune regulator genes have been associated with numerous diseases, including allergies and cancer. Increasing evidence suggests a substantially elevated disease risk in individuals who carry a combination of disease-relevant single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs).
It could be speculated that the adiponectin gene variant, or a mutation in linkage with it, determines lower adiponectin gene expression, causing in turn an increased risk to develop insulin resistance, atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease.
The significant association of the adiponectin gene in subjects with early-onset CAD also suggests that genetic factors for late-onset diseases may exert a greater influence in younger persons, when other risk factors are not as prevalent as in older age groups.
The general procedure for taking a genealogical DNA test involves taking only a painless cheek-scraping (also known as a buccal swab) at home and mailing the sample to a genetic genealogy laboratory for testing. All United States laboratories will destroy the DNA sample upon request by the customer, guaranteeing that a sample is not available for further analysis

Never Underestimate the Value of a Low Glycemic Diet
A Menu for Weight Loss:
Transitions and a Low Glycemic Index lifestyle
The glycemic index of food is a ranking of foods based on their immediate effect on blood glucose (blood sugar) levels. Carbohydrate foods that breakdown quickly during digestion have the highest glycemic indexes. Their blood sugar response is fast and high. Carbohydrates that breakdown slowly, releasing glucose gradually into the blood stream, have low glycemic indexes. 5
An awareness of foods' Glycemic Index can help you control your blood sugar levels, and by doing so, may help you prevent heart disease, improve cholesterol levels, prevent insulin resistance and type-2 diabetes, prevent certain cancers, and achieve or maintain a healthy weight. A substantial amount of research suggests a low GI diet provides these significant health benefits. So, it's worth taking a look at the basic principles of a low GI way of eating. 6
Carbohydrates that break down rapidly during digestion releasing glucose rapidly into the bloodstream have a high GI; carbohydrates that break down slowly, releasing glucose gradually into the bloodstream, have a low GI. For most people, foods with a low GI have significant health benefits. 1
The usefulness of glycemic load is based on the idea that a high glycemic index food consumed in small quantities would give the same effect as larger quantities of a low glycemic index food on blood sugar. For example, white rice is somewhat high GI, so eating 50g of white rice at one sitting would give a particular glucose curve in the blood, while 25g would give the same curve but half the height. 2
A lower glycemic index suggests slower rates of digestion and absorption of the sugars and starches in the foods and may also indicate greater extraction from the liver and periphery of the products of carbohydrate digestion. 3
Between the two high-carbohydrate diets, lowering the glycemic index doubled fat loss - this effect was strongest in women. Participants on the high-protein, high GI diet was equally effective for fat loss as the high carbohydrate, low GI diet, the two had diverse effects on LDL (bad) cholesterol - the high protein, high-GI group showed increased levels of LDL or 'bad' cholesterol, while there were significant reductions in those on the high carbohydrate, low-GI diet. However those on the high-protein, low GI diet did not experience the same rise in total LDL cholesterol suggesting the importance of low GI foods alongside a high meat intake. 4
The current validated methods use glucose as the reference food, giving it a glycemic index value of 100 by definition. This has the advantages that it is universal and it results in maximum GI values of approximately 100. White bread can also be used as a reference food, giving a different set of GI values (if white bread = 100, then glucose ? For people whose staple carbohydrate source is white bread, this has the advantage of conveying directly whether replacement of the dietary staple with a different food would result in faster or slower blood glucose response. The disadvantages with this system are that the reference food is not well-defined, and the GI scale is culture dependent. 7
In short, the goal should be to build a good plan including the low Glycemic Index foods. This way, hunger is minimized, and there is less tendency to "cheat" or overeat. Consequently, you can continue to lose body fat or maintain your weight - once the excess pounds have been lost. 8
Low glycemic index foods generally have less of an impact on blood glucose levels. People who eat a lot of low glycemic index foods tend to have lower total body fat levels. 9

New Product for healthy cells and heart! Resveratrol
Poor cellular and cardiovascular health are becoming huge stumbling blocks to optimal health in the United States and many other countries. A diet of processed, high-calorie, high-fat foods, pollution, smoking and sedentary lifestyles all contribute to poor cell and heart health.
Scientists have revealed The French Paradox, which states that even though the French drink, smoke and eat high-fat foods they have some of the lowest incidences of poor cardiovascular and cellular health. They attribute this to the large amounts of red wine that the majority of French people consume, or more importantly, an extract found in red wine, resveratrol.
Clinical research reveals that resveratrol supports both cardiovascular and normal cell health. Because wine is so highly processed, the actual amount of resveratrol is quite low. One would have to drink at least three bottles of red wine a day to experience the effects of resveratrol extract.
The resveratrol content in red wine is inconsistent and varies by the type of wine, the grape growing region and the processing techniques that are used. Resveratrol extract or more specifically, Resveravine®, which is a more concentrated form of resveratrol, ensures that the body reaps all of the benefits of resveratrol, without the ill effects three bottles of wine can cause.
Resveratrol is an Isotonix® dietary supplement are delivered in an isotonic solution. The isotonic state of the suspension allows nutrients to pass directly into the small intestine and rapidly absorb into the bloodstream. With Isotonix products, little nutritive value is lost, making the absorption of nutrients highly efficient while delivering maximum results.

Two New Products for Women from Market America!
Prime (tm) Balance - With osteoporosis affecting an estimated 75 million people in the USA, Europe, and Japan, a product like Prime (tm) Balance is an absolute must. Prime (tm) Balance is a unique combination of multiple ingredients, which have all been clinically shown to have a significant role in bone health. This formulation works to help prevent osteoporosis, promote normal bone mineral density, increase the uptake of calcium/magnesium and promote bone strength. There are many osteoporosis and calcium supplements on the market, but none that provides additional ingredients, such as Bonistein (patented genistein), that Prime (tm) Balance offers. A recent study in European Journal of Clinical Nutrition (see link) discusses the positive effects of isoflavones (genistein) on bone resorption (bone loss) and bone formation. Prime (tm) Balance is not intended to replace Calcium Plus which is used by teenagers, men, and pre-menopausal women. Women entering menopause or those who are pre-menopausal and older men should take this product in addition to Isotonix(r) Calcium Plus to help address the effects of aging on their bones. *

The New Face of Acne Care
Acne, a common yet unwelcome visitor especially to our teens, is caused by blocked pores in the skin. No one knows why these pores get blocked and why some people have severe problems while others show no signs or symptoms of this dreaded "teen" disease.
In normal skin, Sebum (oil) normally drains to the surface. With acne, since the pores are blocked, this sebum is trapped below the surface and bacteria can form in the trapped glands.
There are two basic types of acne - inflammatory and non-inflammatory.
In non-inflammatory acne, pimples (microcomedones) can exhibit as either whiteheads or blackheads.
With whiteheads, the sebum stays below the surface but pushes it up. Blackheads are formed when a small amount of the oil breaks through the skin then turns black due to the reaction of the melanin in the skin with oxygen.
When there is a break in the wall surrounding a hair, white blood cells rush in and create inflammation. A red bump called a papule is born. Papules can be quite small, or they can be large and be very tender. The papule may remain beneath the surface and ultimately heal, or it can break through the skin and become a pustule.
Pustules are formed usually several days after a papule is discovered. They are caused by white blood cells that make their way to the surface of the skin to help fight off the infection.
This is what people usually refer to as a "zit" or a "pimple".
Acne can become even more complicated and painful in many people if the zit becomes infected and the inflamed lesion completely collapses or explodes, severely inflaming the surrounding skin, and sometimes overrunning and involving neighboring follicles. These lesions are called nodules or cysts.
As you can see, acne is more than just a few pimples. It is a recognized disease state. However, there are MANY myths and tales surrounding acne. We will examine some of these the next post.

Fibromyalgia and nutritional supplements
If you are one of the millions of people who have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, please read what I have to say about what has helped me. It may help you too. I know there is no cure for fibromyalgia, but there are things a person can do to help improve the quality of their life and lessen the symptoms of the disease.
Although no one seems to be able to paint a complete picture of Fibromyalgia's causes, there are certain brush strokes here and there that seem to surface again and again while researching it. The majority of doctors seem to feel that the only treatments are anti-depressants and pain medication. Both have side effects, and it's only a cover-up if the treatment does seem to relieve symptoms for a time.
One generally recognized theory is that there are probably toxins in the body that need to be removed. Someone recommended to me that I try Guaifenesin therapy, which worked for a time, but then seemed to give out on me. I was lucky enough that my husband went to a presentation for a home-based Internet business called Market America and came home to tell me about one of their products that people had told him might bring me some relief - Isotonix ® OPC-3™ - a strong anti-oxidant made mainly from grape seed and red wine extracts and bilberries. It is a powder that is mixed with water to allow it to immediately enter the body's system instead of waiting for it to dissolve like a pill.
Having nothing to lose, I began taking it several times a day, and slowly began to feel better. First I noticed an improvement in my mental accuity, and gradually I noticed the physical symptoms were improving as well. I had enough energy left after working all day to actually do something instead of just collapsing on the couch.
I still take the OPC-3™ and have found further benefits from some of the other Market America products as well, which is one of the main reasons my husband and I became independent distributors for Market America.
If you would like to view some of the other products available from our distributorship, please visit our web site at http://www.bltmarketing.com

Why Isotonix?
When we eat, drink, or ingest most types of nutritional supplements, the stomach must secrete diluting juices, enzymes, hydrochloric acid, and at least one vitamin-binding protein to begin the process of digestion. This process requires energy and time — about 40 minutes or more, depending on the size of the meal. Isotonix products are great-tasting powders that are mixed with water. They are then delivered into the small intestine nutritionally concentrated, maximizing the opportunity for absorption of nutrients across cell membranes. Isotonix products are usually taken on an empty stomach, dramatically shortening the transit time through the stomach. This minimizes the chance that important micronutrients will be trapped by fats, fibers, and tannins or inactivated by a highly acidic pH level that can neutralize the nutritional value. The solution can then flow into the small intestine, where a small volume of pancreatic digestive juice mixes with it, adding sodium bicarbonate to adjust the pH to neutral, thereby maximizing the potential uptake of micronutrients. Our main product is Isotonix OPC-3 Antioxidant, but we carry a complete line of other Isotonic products as well. All are important to health, and all are readily absorbed. Please check what we have available on our website at http://www.bltmarketing.com
Have a healthy day!
