Nicholas Perricone, MD and author of "The Wrinkle Cure," offers ten tips for boosting weight loss and slowing the effects of aging on your body.
Nicholas Perricone, MD, the world's leading anti-aging health and beauty expert made the groundbreaking discovery that linked invisible, cellular inflammation to both aging and disease with his revolutionary book, "The Wrinkle Cure."
"My research has shown that the chief therapeutic intervention to prevent weight gain, regardless of age, is the anti-inflammatory diet," says Dr. Perricone in his latest bestseller "The Perricone Weight Loss Diet."
Follow these tips to stabilize blood sugar and insulin, maintain precious muscle mass and stay thin for life.
Some people think that they "hate" fish -- particularly salmon.
If you don't eat fish or want to increase the weight loss benefits of the omega 3 fatty acids found in cold-water fish, take high quality fish oil capsules.
* Avoid stress -- stress causes the release of the hormone cortisol, which stimulates insulin release to keep pace with rising blood sugar levels.
Excess cortisol increases appetite and promotes storage of fat in the abdominal area.
Just 1/2 teaspoon of the amino acid glutamine taken at meals three times per day will stop the constant cravings for sweets and high glycemic carbs.
Supplementation with the most plentiful green tea polyphenol, EGCG, stops diet-induced obesity.
Researchers have found that the "clock," once thought to be only in the central part of the brain, is also in the part of the brain that controls appetite.
* Sleep to Lose Weight: Did you know that sleep deprivation causes overeating?
When we don't get enough sleep, the hormone believed to increase feelings of hunger increases.
* An apple a day (or two or three) Despite their relatively high sugar levels, apples exert a stabilizing effect on blood sugar, in part to their high fiber content and phloretin: a flavonoid-type phytonutrient found exclusively in apples.
