Discount Creatine
Creatine is a non-protein amino acid that is produced by the human body. It is produced by the liver, kidneys and pancreas from existing amino acids and from the food we take. Creatine helps in the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is a major source of energy for the body. The body produces 2-4g of Creatine daily. The main food sources of Creatine are fish and red meat.
Creatine is used as a dietary and food supplement, especially by sports people. The ability of Creatine to generate sudden bursts of energy when the body is exerted makes it an effective drug for people participating in sports like weightlifting, wrestling or sprinting. Creatine content in the body can be improved marginally by consuming more red meat and fish. But for some extra Creatine, most people depend on Creatine supplements available in the form of tablets, capsules or powder. Creatine supplements are approved by the FDA as a food supplement and are considered to be as safe as vitamin supplements though caution should be taken regarding the dosage. However, taking too much Creatine is also not very harmful as the body can absorb only a certain quantity and the rest is expelled from the body through the kidneys.
There are several Creatine supplement products in the market today. These are available in different forms and sizes meant for different kinds of people. Creatine supplements are available in different flavors and even in chewable forms. Discount Creatine supplements are also available at lower prices ranging from £4.99 for a 100g bottle, £14.99 for a 500g bottle and £21.99 for a 1KG bottle. There are many websites over the Internet that offer advice about discount Creatine. The products can also be ordered online. Wholesale dealers are another source of obtaining discount Creatine. Buying by bulk proves to be generally much cheaper.

Andre Agassi's Drugs Confession
In his autobiography "Open", Andre Agassi controversially confesses to taking the recreational drug crystal meth while competing on the ATP tour back in 1997, and perhaps even more shockingly, to asking / allowing a friend to take the rap when he failed a doping test around the same time. Now, if it had been bad-boy John McEnroe who had made the admission, perhaps no one would have been that surprised, but the fact that it was Andre Agassi, who was (and still is) regarded as one of tennis's greatest ambassadors makes it doubly unpalatable.
Andre went on after that episode to regain tennis's top spot and win numerous titles - one wonders what would have happened if he'd been banned for his drug-taking. Would his career have taken off in the same way? Obviously we'll never know. Andre has since expressed his regret over the incident, but the question is: why did he feel the need to make the disclosure in the first place? What does he hope to achieve?
Marat Safin, another former world number one and grand slam winner, recently had the following to say:
He feels guilty? So let him just give back his titles, money, his grand slams! If he is so fair play, he should go all the way. You know, ATP have a bank account, he can refund if he wants to.
Safin also goes on to speculate about Andre's motives for the disclosure, suggesting that it's all about selling his book. There may well be substance to that - I've certainly not heard a more convincing reason yet. At best though, one feels that it's an ill-advised move which is unlikely to enhance Agassi's reputation. Fortunately he has a lot of moral capital to draw on, built up by years of humanitarian and charitable work.

What Your Doctor is Prescribing Could Be Robbing Your Memory - Part II
In Part I of Memory and Aging, I explained to you how growing older can affect your memory. I also gave you some brain-healthy things you can do to keep that incredible shoulder-top computer retrieving all its data well into your advanced years.
Here in Part II, I would like to talk to you about prescription drugs, and the impact they can have on your brain function and your memory. Then we'll talk about some natural supplements and how they can help you retain more of your memory.
Each category of prescription drugs has a multitude of individual drugs that can be prescribed to you for common ailments like sinus problems, infections, insomnia, nausea, etc. The effects on your memory can range from temporary short-term memory lapses to broad, long-term memory wipe outs.
In the list below, I've included the types of prescription drugs that can damage your memory.
PRESCRIPTION DRUGS THAT CAN CAUSE MEMORY LOSS
Analgesics
Anesthetics
Antianxiety
Antidepressants
Antibiotics
Antihistamines
Antihypertensives
Anti-Seizure medications
Hormones/steroids
Nausea Drugs
Parkinson Disease Drugs
Sleep Aids
Ritalin
Statins
Mother Nature To The Rescue
With all the pharmaceutical drugs out there that threaten to damage your brain and your memory, the good news is that there are several vitamins and natural, herbal-derived products that have brain-health preserving and memory boosting properties!
The most significant group of vitamins that enhance brain health and memory are the B vitamins, especially B6, B9 (folic acid), B12, citicoline. B vitamins protect the nerve sheath covering brain cells. They pulverize homocysteine, a nerve cell toxin, and carry oxygen. A healthy diet filled with citrus fruits and dark green, leafy vegetables, and/or supplement, aids good brain function.
Next, antioxidants like Vitamin C, E, and beta carotene, give critical protection to brain tissue by dissolving free redicals that cause damaging oxidation. These nutrients can be found in citrus fruits, yams, and wheat germ/oil and are also a staple of good vitamin supplements.
Beneficial fatty oils, like Omega-3 fish oil, help protect the brain cells by neutralizing inflammation and cholesterol deposits. Fatty fish like salmon or fish oil supplements of 1,000 mg a day ensures optimal brain levels of this nutrient.
Below, I've listed several, herbal-derived supplements that are beneficial to your memory.
NATURAL SUPPLEMENTS THAT HELP IMPROVE MEMORY
Alpha GPC - supports attention, focus, recall, and other brain functions.
Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)- supports concentration and focus.
CoQ10 - helps with overall body energy, supports concentration and memory.
DMAE - helps with alertness and concentration.
Gingko biloba - improves blood/oxygen flow to the brain.
Huperzine A - aids age related memory loss; boosts short-term memory.
L-Carnitine - an amino acid that aids brain energy.
L-Glutamine - works as a brain transmitter, aids concentration and alertness.
Lion's Mane Mushroom - enhances mental performance. Aids in nerve/brain cell growth.
Vinpocetine - improves blood flow to memory storage center of brain.
What You Can Do
As I've discussed here, you don't have to be resigned to memory loss. There are some excellent natural sources of supplements, as well as vitamins, available that can help keep your brain and memory functioning optimally.
If you take any of the classes of prescription drugs noted here and seem to be experiencing memory problems, please contact your physician to discuss your concerns.

What is Insulin Resistance? And How Do Antioxidants and Exercise Help Lower Blood Sugar Levels?
Type 2 diabetics are told their condition results from insulin resistance, that insulin resistance is a forerunner to type 2 diabetes. But insulin resistance is usually given a circular definition such as "insulin resistance is resistance to insulin." So, what is insulin resistance really?
If you have a good idea why the body needs antioxidants, you can easily understand insulin resistance.
glucose is the most important fuel for the mitochondria, the "furnaces" inside every cell
the mitochondria are the principal energy source of the cell and converts nutrients into energy as well as doing many other specialized tasks
cells use glucose to make the energy storage molecule ATP. They can store energy from "burning" glucose with the help of oxygen, or they can make energy from glucose even without oxygen
The first process is known as aerobic respiration. The second process is known as anaerobic respiration... anaerobic respiration requires about 30 times as much glucose as aerobic respiration. That's why any kind of exercise that induces the feeling of a burn in your muscles, or that causes you to get out of breath, is so good for lowering your blood sugar levels.
About one in ten million oxygen molecules escapes the mitochondria and becomes a free radical. These toxic forms of oxygen can damage your cell's outer lining. They can cause mutations in your DNA and they can wreak havoc with the biochemical processes that keep your cells alive.
The more glucose your cell burns, the more oxygen molecules escape normal channels, and the more damage is done to your cell or cells. To protect themselves from a flood of glucose when blood sugar levels are high, cells become resistant to insulin. This protects them from free radical damage.
This is why antioxidants, such as vitamin C and alpha-lipoic acid, can actually lower your blood sugar levels slightly. Antioxidants make it possible for cells to stay healthy without becoming quite as resistant to insulin.
In most cases of type 2 diabetes, however, insulin resistance becomes a self-sustaining process. Cells resist insulin, so glucose stays in your bloodstream. The pancreas senses high blood sugar levels, so it releases more insulin. In turn, cells have to become even more resistant to insulin, blood sugar levels go even higher, and your pancreas produces even more insulin... until at some point the insulin-producing beta cells "burn out".
Reversing the process of insulin resistance is key to managing and even reversing your type 2 diabetes. Medication, diet, and nutritional supplements all help, especially a vegan raw foods diet to reverse type 2 diabetes.
