10 Healthy Resolution Nutrients for 2009

Drop Excess Weight

Doctor Yale’s Notebook: "Walk at least 15 minutes a day. Try parking your car at the far end of the parking lot, or taking a brisk walk at lunchtime."

1. Acai – This is the new “it” nutrient of the decade because “it” does it all! Boosts energy and metabolism, detoxifies and cleanses, harmonizes all your body’s processes and systems.

2. Green Tea - It has fat-burning properties that help your burn more calories daily, and have a rich array of antioxidants that maintain good health.

3. Citrin - Helps control appetite and reduce food cravings.

4. Apple Cider Vinegar - Its nutrients, minerals, and amino acids promote efficient digestion so fat has less of a chance to be absorbed.

Look Years Younger

Doctor Yale’s Notebook : "A good night's sleep is one of the best beauty treatments. Also be sure to drink 8 glasses of water each day so your skin doesn't dehydrate."

5. Collagen - Around mid-life, the body's levels of collagen are severely reduced, so it must be replaced. It's vital therapy for dry, aging skin, brittle nails, and damaged hair. Plump up fine lines and wrinkles with "Hydrolyzed Type II" collagen, the same type used by doctors.

6. Coenzyme Q10 - Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) also declines drastically after age 40. Often called the "Fountain of Youth" nutrient, it has age-defying properties that help rejuvenate skin cells, and even help your gums be healthier.

7. Vitamin K - Shrinks and fades unsightly spider veins in legs. If you bruise easily or see ruptured capillaries (tiny blood vessels) in hands or legs, you need to supplement with Vitamin K.

8. Flaxseed Oil - One of the richest sources of essential omega 3 fatty acids for cell renewal and rejuvenation, it is fabulous for your skin.

Perk Up Your Mood & Wake Up Your Mind

Doctor Gendron’s Notebook: "The body-mind connection is important. When your positive attitude is down in the dumps temporarily, try adding a 'brain food' herb. "

9. Ginkgo Biloba – Despite what you may have heard, ginkgo biloba can rev up your mental energy and your attitude on life. Ideal for these long, dark winter days.

10. St. John's Wort - This well-studied herb is a natural mood elevator, promoting healthy levels of the neurotransmitter serotonin in the brain.
