You see, your eyes are very sensitive. And they’re under constant attack from free radicals that can lead to Age Related Macular Degeneration (AMD), the leading cause of blindness for Americans.

Fortunately, your eyes have a barrier around your retina for protection. A single layer of cells called your retinal pigment epithelium (RPE).

Today I’m going to show you how to use the natural hormone that doubles as an antioxidant to strengthen your RPE. That way, you can keep reading, driving, watching your favorite shows, and recognizing the people you care about no matter how old you are.

But first, let me explain why your RPE barrier might be the most important part of your eye to keep healthy.

You probably already know that you can see because your brain makes sense of the light that comes into your eye. And it’s your retina that sends that information from your eye to your brain.

While your retina is busy communicating from your eye to your brain, your RPE is in charge of communicating from your eye to your body.

It’s only one cell layer thick, yet the RPE barrier manages to:

• constantly protect your retina by absorbing extra light energy
• transport water and nutrients into the tiny blood vessels of your eyes
• take up nutrients like glucose, vitamin A, and fatty acids from the blood and deliver them to your photoreceptors
• transform vitamin A into the form your photoreceptors use so you can see clearly
• keep your photoreceptors active and ready
• recycle nutrients and return them to photoreceptors to help rebuild their outer layers
• secrete growth factors that help maintain the structural integrity of your eyes
• oversee your eyes’ immune function

The thing is, wherever there’s a lot of metabolic activity like that going on inside you, all that work produces free radicals. Those are the molecules that attack your cells and cause inflammation.

Free radical attacks constantly erode parts of your retina, and this is what can eventually lead to AMD.

So nature, in its wisdom, had provided a dual role for the RPE barrier. At the same time it’s doing all that work to maintain your vision, it’s also protecting your eyes and fighting inflammation.

But your RPE needs help, because as you get older, it doesn’t work quite as well.

Fortunately, there’s something simple you can do to give your RPE barrier a boost and keep your vision sharp and your eyes clear. You can give your eyes more of a hormone they already make, but that you make less of as you age.

It’s called melatonin. You may already know it as a sleep regulator that is produced in your brain. But your eyes also make a small amount. And it does much more than help you sleep.

Melatonin is also an ultra-powerful antioxidant that guards your RPE cells and their DNA from damage by inflammation. It also helps maintain your retina’s structure.^1,2

In one study, they took RPE cells and treated them with melatonin for three days. Melatonin was able to both protect cells from damage and prevent cell death.

Researchers also did a study where they gave people who already had AMD 3mg of melatonin each night before bedtime. After only three months, they had reduced damage, and their eyesight had stabilized.³ The study’s authors wrote that the change after melatonin was “remarkable.”

I recommend you take melatonin every day to help restore their natural melatonin levels and keep your eyes focused and clear.

One thing to bear in mind: Melatonin’s a potent natural aid. Many doctors and health experts recommend as much as 3mg a day, even if you’re currently healthy. But that’s as much as the people in the study above took, except they already had AMD.

You only need small doses for prevention – around 500 micrograms or one half of one milligram.

Another tricky thing about melatonin is the form it comes in. It’s not as effective in a pill because it’ll take longer to enter your bloodstream. Look for melatonin liquids or sprays – they’re fast-acting and just as affordable.

Sometimes you have to nearly lose it all to realize what you truly have.

I can honestly say that I have come close to death several times in my life. I’ve had my share of accidents, medical emergencies, and a near-fatal accident while driving.

But there was something about just laying on the gym floor today with two doctors hovering over me that gave me serious pause.

Time for some major reflection.

Now, before you get too alarmed (for those who know me, or just think I’m a pretty good guy… ; )… fear not. I did not have a stroke or anything like that, thank goodness.

What I did have was a major drop in blood pressure… so much that I came dangerously close to entering the “coma” zone.

I kid you not.

And trust me… I felt like I was slipping fast.

My girlfriend was there with me. I had her kneel down and, just like Spock in an old episode of “Star Trek”, I had her slap me several times in the face. Hard!

“If my eyes roll back, hit me harder.”

The doctor probably thought I was nuts… but I know that’s one way to elevate my blood pressure.

So, what happened? Am I falling apart at the relatively young age of 46? Is my dietary and exercise advise dangerous after all?

No… and here’s why:

I actually VOLUNTEERED for this.

Before you think I’ve totally lost my marbles, hear me out. If you listen to the rest of the story, you’ll see that not only has my advice been of great value when it comes to exercise and dietary strategy… it actually ended up saving my butt!

Really Bad Genetics Meets The Cath Lab: A Wild Encounter

First, the “volunteered for this” bit needs explaining… right? Right.

If you read my first book, published in 2004, called “Fit Over 40″ (read more at Fit Over 40) then you may recall that I went into great detail about my poor genetics and horrible health in my early and mid-30s.

Since then, and knowing exactly how bad my genetics are for such things as high blood pressure (oh, the irony!), heart disease, and stroke, I adopted the dietary plan and exercise routine I use to  this very day. The very ones I cover in “The Every Other Day Dietplan” and “7 Minute Body.”

(If you don’t have these books and want them, you can get both here… Jon Benson Fitness — oh, and I have a short video up on this page if you have not seen on a 1-minute fatloss tip… )

Now, let’s get real folks:  Dietary power and exercise MAY not be enough to overcome really bad genetics when it comes to certain diseases. And being ever curious, I wanted to know exactly how my own health was doing on my plan. So a month or so ago I paid a visit to the hospital to have some tests ran. All my yearly check-ups were okay, but I wanted a closer look at my heart… and I mean “literally”.

I wanted to be “cathed”… this is where they insert a camera into your heart, going up the femoral artery in your right leg, and take a look around. If they find anything dangerous, like a clogged artery, they can fix it right then and there with a stent. A stent is a metal device that presses plaque against the artery wall and opens up a clogged artery.

Of course I hoped I would not find such a thing… and certainly nothing worse. I mean, can you imagine?  “Mr. Benson, you need a quadruple bypass!”

I could not, that’s for sure… and I was fortunate because, as you probably guessed, I didn’t hear those words from my doc.

It’s hard to get a cath done as it’s a risky procedure. I can’t even tell you how I managed to pull it off … that’s how touchy the hospitals are when it comes to this kind of stuff. Afterwards, I volunteered to do 5-10 workouts at their heart care facility so I could hook myself up to some nifty gadgets. I get to watch my EKG (how my heart is functioning during cardio and weights… and it works like a charm!) and really nice doctor folks come by to check my blood pressure (which is always low) during the workout.

Yep… the doc and I wanted to put my workout plan to the test, I guess you could say. I wanted to do it just to make sure I was 100% healthy during my training. You never really “know” I suppose, so I was up for it. And my doctor wanted me to do it just in case what he found during the cath was serious. There’s a lot to this process, and there’s some details I don’t wish to cover for privacy sake… but anyway, back to my story.

It’s long, but it may save your life too. : )

The Good News… The Bad News… And The Stupid Jon News!

Turns to find out I made a few mistakes… some pretty costly mistakes… but (get this) none of them had to do with my dietary or exercise plan.

During the cath, here’s what the doc said:

“Jon, your heart’s two primary arteries look good… hardly any obstruction at all. And they are nice and thick from exercise.” For a guy who has had a cholesterol level of over 400 before, and a history of heart disease in the family, this was really good news.

“However, your genetics are catching up to you in one of your arteries…. and you need to be more aggressive with your drug treatment to make sure we don’t have to go back in here one day!”

Er… what??

Yep… turns out that the only thing that saved me from a BYPASS (that’s right) was what the doctor called “an enormous amount of peripheral arteries formed from years and years of weight training and exercise.”

Wow.

“Look right here Jon…”  (He showed me my beating heart on camera… freaky…) “See all these arteries? Well the average person doesn’t have them. You do. Congratulations… you earned them.”

Wow again. And remember, I only workout with weights 3-4 times per week and my workouts are rarely over 21 minutes (time under the weight.)

What I Did Right… And What I Did Wrong… And Why This Could Save Your Life

So, listen up folks as I’m about to tell you everything I did wrong for the past several years… how it ALMOST cost me dearly (a bypass?… no thanks!)… how I managed to prevent it… and how I ended up on the gym floor today with doctors all around me.

It’s all related. And again, sorry for the novel-like email, but (again) this may save your life.

First, here’s what my excellent cardiologist said I did RIGHT:

1. Exercise:  “Jon, your exercise plan, to put it bluntly, saved you from a great deal of pain… in fact it probably saved your life as these blockages would have been far worse without it.” With it, I had only one artery with enough blockage to warrant the drug therapy that I should have been on for years… more on that in a second…

2. Dietary plan:  “Jon, your diet is perfect for this condition… low in carbs, high in protein and healthy fats is all anyone can do in order to help fight this genetic killer.”  Yep… again… prevention in the form of dietplan saved my butt. Or rather my heart. : )  But it wasn’t enough… at least for one artery. However, it WAS enough to prevent them from having to do surgery on me.

“Jon, the take-away here is simple:  Exercise and dietary plans, even the very best, may not be enough for super high-risk people… but in your case your lifestyle saved your life. And it certainly prevented you from having to have any serious surgery to correct a truly broken heart.”

Talk about EXCITING news… yep… you CAN beat this killer, even when you have MY horrible family genetics. However, like me, you may need some help… more on that in a second.

3. Blood pressure:  “Jon, your blood pressure is excellent. Your lifestyle and very low-dose diuretic has kept your formerly sky-high blood pressure (it was 200/110 when I was 32!) to an excellent 118/78.”  But you know doctors… even “excellent” isn’t enough and they recommended a stronger BP med for “my intense weight training.”

So, I listened… and ended up on the floor today. You see, many doctors do not realize the POWER of weight training compared to cardio. My blood pressure never budges during cardio, but less than 3 minutes into a resistance (weight-training) session it goes down like the stock market after a bad news day.

I mean SHOOTS down. I tried to explain this by letting the doctor see the veins in my legs… “Doc, my veins are MUCH larger than the average person’s… trust me, my pressure is fine.”  “Jon, just try it for a few weeks.”

Bad mistake…. like I said, I ended up on the gym floor today with a blood pressure of 72/45. If I hit 40, I’m literally in a coma. 5 points away… very scary. Needless to say the doc took me OFF these meds and let me do it my way:  With my Every Other Day Dietplan (low-carb most of the days) and good-old exercise.

If you have high blood pressure, I URGE you to take up weight training or resistance (body-weight or band) training. Of course, ask your doc about it first… but I’ve seen first hand for three weeks now how powerful my weight training sessions are compared to intense cardio sessions.

They are night and day folks… weights RULE. Cardio is good, but weights are best. Both of course would be the best course for ultimate health, but most people do far too much cardio and far too little resistance training.

Oops…

Now, here’s what I did WRONG:

1. Cigars:  “Jon, you cannot afford to smoke cigars… ever. They have lowered your protective HDL to a dangerous level. Stop NOW!” That’s all it took folks. Yes, I smoked cigars for many years, but fortunately I was never an addict. I quit that very day.

Guess what? 10 days later my HDL DOUBLED (no kidding)… and without drugs. Of course that’s not all I did…

2. Fat too LOW:  “Jon, you’ve lowered your dietary fat too low… this affects your HDL.”  Yep, I normally eat about 35% dietary fat… and I cut it down to 20% to help me get ready for a photoshoot. Now that I put it back to where it belongs, I still have my abs (yep!) and my HDL is raising as I type.

3. Stress:  “Jon, you are simply working too hard not to do some form of meditation or de-stressing.”  So I dove back into my meditation CDs. (I’ll tell you more about Holosync and my hypnosis CDs in my next email… very cool stuff.)

4. Advil:  “Jon, you take 4 Advil before you train? You’re nuts! That stuff can cause sticky plaque formations!!”  You know, I may never even had an issue if I had known this (and not smoked cigars) a few years ago. Live and learn!

5. And finally… oh, this hurt to hear… no drugs!  “Jon, if you want to make sure you beat this thing, you simply must take some meds to help.”  Okay, I resisted any form of statin drug for the past 15 years (drugs to lower cholesterol.) I opted to try natural stuff… but unfortunately for me I was never too consistent. And I paid the price.

So the doc and I came to a compromise:  I would take the LOWEST dose of statin along with 400 mg of CoQ10 (scary, but this was my idea, not his, and statins deplete this heart-friendly enzyme!) But I wanted a natural solution to the real issue:  small particle LDL. You see, I’ve known for years that I carry the gene that makes LDL “small”. LDL is not dangerous unless it is small… that’s why “total cholesterol” means nothing to me. I’ve seen folks have heart attacks with a cholesterol level of 130. No joke. But their LDL was super-small… like mine.

And guess what?  Dietplans cannot really help this. Well, they can HURT it (too many carbs, too many toxic fats, etc.) but they cannot shift the LDL from small to large.

For that, you need plain old niacin. Just a simple B vitamin… but in not-so-simple doses. In fact it’s considered a drug at the dose you have to take, and you should NEVER take niacin over 50 mg without a doctor’s supervision as it can be very toxic to the liver.

The Conclusion: The Power Is In Your Hands

In conclusion, I’m A-Okay… my heart pumps and functions “like that of a strong 20-year-old” (my doctor’s quote) thanks to the extra arteries I developed from my exercise program (how cool!) … but in order to keep that one artery in check, I’m taking his advice and taking much better care of myself than I have been.

Today I learned that this does NOT mean taking blood pressure meds…thankfully… : ) But I had to make some changes. Some of them were “stupid” changes… sure, I know cigars are not good for you. I know you need good fats in your dietplan. I could have used common sense and figured out that 4-8 Advil on workout days was… well, stupid.

But the good news, which is what I choose to focus on, is this:  In the areas that 95% of people NEVER change, I didn’t have to change much at all.

Dietary plan and exercise.

Turns to find out that what I was doing works great… and it did, in fact, save my heart and quite possibly my life.

P.S.   I got lucky in many ways, but especially so when it came to my doctors. Both of my doctors are young and savvy enough to be up on the latest research on nutrition. They know NOT to buy into this “low-fat” nonsense for heart health. (I’d use a harsher word, but kiddos may be reading… : ) That only works for about 10-15% of the population. The rest of us need to lower our CARBS, not our fats… but the way I do it I get to keep my favorite carbs in my dietplan every week.

The little that I do eat keeps me happy as a clam, and keeps my heart nice and healthy too. A little bit of bad food will not hurt most people… but eating it every day can flat-out kill you.

Please… take this seriously. I promise, my dietplan and exercise routine is a PLEASURE to follow… but if you don’t follow it then find one that IS enjoyable for you to follow… and do it.

Life is too short, you know?

When most people hear the words “menopause” or “andropause”, they immediately think, “middle-age” and “misery”. After all, most people experience the onset of the end of their reproductive cycle during middle-age — and this is usually accompanied by emotionally and physically draining symptoms such as hot flashes, low libido, and mood swings.

However, the facts are changing, and they’re changing with the times.

People are now experiencing these symptoms, along with constant fatigue and depression, much earlier in life. Some studies suggest that perimenopause can begin as early as twenty-five in some women. Men in their twenties and thirties regularly experience the symptoms of low libido and erectile dysfunction. Both men and women battle fatigue and depression — often with drugs and dangerous habits.

What is causing this rapid onset of the symptoms of menopause or andropause? Is this ‘really’ what people are experiencing, or it is something altogether different that is “masking” itself as menopause or andropause? What can someone in their early mid-life do about these stressful symptoms? And, what about those who are actually experiencing the onset of the end of reproduction? Are drugs the only alternative? Are they actually safe?

The questions and much more are addressed spectacularly in NaturaPause:  The Natural Hormone Solution For Men And Women.  Created by Naturopathic physician Dr. Holly Lucille and “Fit Over 40″ author Jon Benson, NaturaPause uncovers what Dr. Lucille calls “the root causes” behind the symptoms associate with perimenopause, menopause, andropause, rapid weight gain, functional erectile dysfunction and constant fatigue. Rather than addressing the “symptoms”, Dr. Lucille and Benson address the “cause”, as they enlighten both men and women in methods that can restore hormonal function.

NaturaPause is not a supplement or a drug, but a “how-to” instruction kit comprised of a six audio CDs, a 137-page book and a 28-page workbook.

“Most physicians try to replace hormones. That’s a poor strategy,” says Dr. Lucille in Audio 1. “Exactly what ‘hole’ did they fall out of?”  From almost a decade of clinical practice, Dr. Lucille has found solid, natural methods for encouraging bodies to do what they were designed to do:  heal themselves, from the inside-out. This healing process can not only take care of the problem, but also the nasty symptoms — and, unlike drugs (HRT is the common term for hormone therapy via drugs), leave the individual much healthier and more fit than when they began.

“Drugs have their place in hormone help, but they should not be the first choice. The body must be given the chance to heal the root cause of most of the symptoms…and that’s something rarely discussed in traditional medicine,” says Dr. Lucille. “For those on HRT, it is even more crucial to address the core issues, otherwise long-term health can definitely be affected.”

NaturaPause audios include:  “Hormones 101:  What You Really Need To Know”, “Menopause:  Reasons And Remedies For Regaining Your Life,” “Andropause:   What Men Need To Know To Restore Vigor”, “Exercise and Nutrition:  Secret Weapons In The Battle For Youth”, “Restoring Sex Drive:  The Psychology and Physiology of Renewing Your Love Life”, and “Putting It All Together:  Dr. Lucille’s 1-2-3 NaturaPause Plan.”  Each audio is impressively thorough and conducted in a conversational style between Mr. Benson and Dr. Lucille. Both give their take on the subject; Benson from personal experience of early andropause at 27, and Dr. Lucille from a clinical perspective.

So, what is addressed in the NaturaPause Solution Kit? A small sampling includes…

– Exactly why traditional medicine flat-out fails to wipe out the hellish symptoms of menopause, male menopause, perimenopause, weight gain, and constant fatigue;

– What the natural health industry is missing, and why people are not seeing the rapid results they are looking for by trying what they hear on T.V. or read in a magazine;

– The real, absolute, without-a-doubt cause of nearly all these symptoms�and how to get rid of them, make people feel better, and radically boost mental, emotional, and physical health at the same time;

– Why 95% of doctors never treat this hormonally-based cause;

– A top-to-bottom, �treat the cause� Solution that is based in fact and medicine that’s been successful for thousands of years;

– And more than can be covered in this short review.

Dr. Lucille’s book rounds out the package nicely, covering all you need to know about restoring and maintaining hormonal balance in what she calls, “An ever-increasing toxic environment.” Dr. Lucille demonstrates how everyday household items are contributing to the increase of estrogen in both males and females. The result:  children are reaching puberty 2.3 years sooner than fifty years ago, and both sexes are experiencing the onset of menopausal symptoms earlier and, often, in increased severity.

NaturaPause is the best product I have ever seen for addressing relief and restoration when it comes to this natural phase of life. Combine that with the solid, down-to-earth nutrition and fitness  information, how-tos on sexual healing, and a complete “what works” natural supplement guide, and you have a product that everyone over 30 desperately needs in order to live at their peak for decades to come.

Is it even true that protein is the best nutriet there is for building and toning up muscles?

Hear this. It is not crap! What you read are true, protein is in fact the best nutrient in building up muscles. Protein is the most important nutrient if we are talking about gaining weight and forming that weight or fat into muscles. Ask every experienced body builders you know and they will respond with basically the same answer.

Another thing you should know if you’re a beginning body builder and just started developing body mass or are planning to: even if you work out like crazy, you will not develop sufficient muscle mass unless you put in a lot, that is, tons of proteins in your diets. I can not state it enough, muscle building needs lots of protein. It’s like 20% workout, 80% diet – protein.

If protein is that important in body building, what does it have that others don’t? Another question you might ask is what is the best food that has the most amount of protein?

Okay, let us jump into the very first question. Why is it so essential in acquiring big muscles? Well, protein is a polymer that is composed of several smaller molecules known as amino acids.

When you eat food which is abundant in protein it will eventually be broken down to extremely tiny amino acids monomers which will be utilized in countless bodily functions.

For those who are lifting weights, ab workouts for 6 pack is a no brainer. All they need to do is to regularly increase their lifting weights to stressed the muscles out. This combined with protein and the result is phenomenal. There are more of this here: http://HowToBuildMuscles.com/ if you want to know and want to be motivated.

Now that you know how important protein is in body and muscle building, now its time to find out where we can get sufficient and good quality protein.

Having the ability to generate the maximum mount of effort in the shortest period of time is defined as intensity. This simply means performing as many repetitions in a set until you can no longer perform a single repetition. If you want your bicep muscle bigger you need the intensity generated to be high.

Here is a simple bicep muscle workout you can follow:

We will be using the dumbbell curl for this bicep exercise. Pick a weight that will allow you to perform at lest 8 repetition to positive failure. Positive failure is the point where completing another repetition is impossible despite your greatest effort.

When you are done performing as many repetitions as you can, put the weights down and select another weight that is half the weight of what you initially used. Hold this weight in the midway bicep curl position for a count of ten. This will create an intense burn; this hold does not give your bicep muscle a chance to rest. So it creates a high intensity environment for your bicep muscles.

When you are done holding the weights for a count of 10 seconds, pick up the heavy dumbbells again and perform another set to positive failure. You will probably get 6 repetitions. When you are done, drop the lighter weights and pick up the heavy one again and perform another set to positive failure!

This is one set of dumbbell curls with holds. It is all you need to grow your bicep muscle. And because of the intensity generated in this set you need only one set to make this work.

This simple bicep exercise is an example of what it takes to generate the right intensity you need to build your bicep muscles.

You’ll find several rewards of Creatine. Creatine increases anaerobic power inside the physique. It provides instant power to the body. It enhances muscle strength and helps make the muscle suitable for high-intensity, brief duration exertion like weightlifting or sprinting. It is also observed to speed up the recovery of energy. It delays fatigue considerably. It promotes lean-muscle mass and reduces muscle wasting in post-surgical patients. It can be also believed to assist heart patients by growing their workout capacity, decreasing heart spasms and thus growing heart function. Creatine is generally taken as a supplement by athletes who want heavy bursts of power. Creatine acts as a catalyst to a special chemical reaction that occurs inside the body when an individual does high-intensity, brief duration work. The physique generates enough Creatine to accommodate such type of a reaction. For extra exertion, Creatine has to be taken additionally through food or by means of other forms.

Creatine is now extremely well-liked amongst athletes because of its several rewards and extremely few side effects. The only side impact documented till now is weight acquire. Nonetheless, overdose of Creatine or use of Creatine over a lengthy time frame may have some other side effects also, and tests are still being conducted to figure out the effect of using Creatine inside the extended run. Creatine is accessible as a supplement like vitamin pills inside the type of over-the-counter drugs. Creatine is categorized as a “dietary supplement” and might be purchased even with out a prescription as per the 1994 Dietary Supplement Wellness and Education Act. Then once more, Creatine is not tested by the American FDA (Food and Drug Administration) and particular side effects like vomiting, diarrhea, and deep vein thromboses have been listed under a 1998 FDA report.

You can find numerous Creatine supplement items within the marketplace these days. Creatine is offered in capsule, chewable and powdered forms. One teaspoon of the powdered form contains 5g of Creatine monohydrate. The suggested dosage is 1-2 teaspoons with 8 ounces of water per day. Nevertheless, the dosage can differ depending on the physique exertion.

Athletes generally follow a dosage cycle comprising of loading and maintenance phases.
