Suzanne Somers was one of the most dynamic
speakers at the 21st World Anti-Aging conference
last week. I was standing only a few feet from her
and let me tell you she is looking good for a
67-year-old woman. She has been doing hormone
replacement for years. Susan was sharing her
daily routine, which includes meditation,
exercise, sex, hormone replacement and a non-GMO
organic diet.
She said, “I take around 60 pills a day with a
smoothie and the rest at night. That may sound
like a lot but if your focus is a long disease
free life, the pills are not really a factor. It’s
much easier to stay healthy than it is to try and
get rid of any disease. She went on to say, “Food
is her medicine.”
It made me laugh when she talked about ” She
was kidding but I see patients daily with a host
of these seven dwarf problems.
“Ideally, your food choices should be organic and
pesticide free. Beef should be organic and
grass-fed; fish should be wild not farm raised. It
is difficult to get organic food at most
restaurants, so when possible eat at home. She
went on to share with the group about the Power
Foods:

1.Almonds (raw, unsalted)
Almonds are a great source of protein, fiber and
minerals, including:
Calcium and magnesium- Calcium keeps bones strong
and promotes bone growth. Magnesium works with
calcium for bone growth and is a calming mineral
needed by premenopausal women. It is also good for
assisting with constipation.
Iron- This mineral is necessary for transporting
the active and usable form of thyroid, T3.
Potassium- Circulatory deficits happen with age
and declining hormones; potassium ameliorates this
by helping to support blood vessel health and
reduce the risk of high blood pressure. A
potassium-rich diet will prevent leg cramps and
other muscle spasms. This is because of the role
that potassium plays with muscle contraction and
nerve impulses all over the body, including the
heart.
Zinc- Research indicates that zinc helps balance
female hormones, helps prevent PMS, and helps
prevent acne.
Almonds are also high in Vitamin E and unsaturated
fats, keeping arteries supple. With the decline of
minor hormones, cortisol goes high and is one of
the main reasons women get (and die of) heart
disease; almonds play a role in preventing
atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries).

2. Apples
All types of apples contain quercetin, a powerful
antioxidant that prevents the oxidation of LDL
cholesterol, which in turn lowers the risk of
damage to your arteries. An apple’s pectin is
effective in lowering levels of blood cholesterol.

3. Avocado
This fruit may prevent breast cancer as well as
prostate cancer.

4. Beans
Beans are loaded with complex carbohydrates, as
well as calcium, iron, folic acid, B vitamins,
zinc, potassium and magnesium. They contain large
amounts of soluble and insoluble fiber, which
helps reduce cholesterol and normalize blood
sugar.

5. Organic Beets
Beets contain high levels of carotenoids and
flavonoids, which are known to protect artery
walls as well as reduce the risk of heart disease
and stroke. In addition, they contain iron and
also boost bone health, due to their calcium
content, thus reducing the risk of osteoporosis.

6. Organic Blueberries
Berries are a great source of antioxidants that
keep your brain and heart healthier. Blueberries
also contain pterostilbene, which is effective in
reducing bad LDL cholesterol.

7. Broccoli
This vegetable contains two powerful anticancer
substances: sulforaphane and indole-3-carbinol.
Sulforaphane destroys ingested carcinogenic
compounds and kills H.pylori (Helicobacter
pylori), a bacteria that causes stomach ulcers and
increases the risk of gastric cancers. (If you eat
in restaurants and consume non¬organic chicken,
it’s likely at some point you will pick up H.
pylori.) Indole-3-carbinol metabolizes estrogen,
potentially protecting against estrogen dominance
and breast cancer. It also has a good amount of
potassium and beta-carotene.

8. Cabbage
High in fiber, vitamin A and minerals, cabbage
stimulates the immune system, kills bacteria and
viruses, inhibits growth of cancerous cells,
protects against tumors, helps control estrogen
levels and promotes balance, improves blood flow
and boosts sex drive. It speeds up the metabolism
of estrogen toward a “good” metabolite and slows
the production of a bad one, reducing the risk of
breast cancer, and inhibits the growth of polyps
in the colon; cabbage also protects against
stomach ulcers.

9. Eggs
Eggs are a good source of selenium, riboflavin,
vitamin BIZ’ pantothenic acid and vitamin D, and
are rich in lutein and zeaxan¬ thin (both offer
protection for the eyes, which were not meant by
nature to last beyond our childbearing years).
Eggs are also a great source of choline, a
neurotransmitter critical for brain health and a
good source of natural progesterone.

10. Flaxseed
This power food increases the number of ovulatory
cycles in premenopausal women and increases
testosterone at the time of ovulation. Regular
consumption of flaxseed improves the
progesterone/estrogen ratio in postovulatory women
and helps with PMS. Flaxseed is also an excellent
source of essential omega-3 fatty acids. Freshly
ground flaxseed releases more nutrients than whole
flaxseed.

11. Garlic
This yummy bulb is an excellent cancer fighter,
protecting against cancers of the breast, colon,
skin, prostate, stomach and esophagus. Garlic
stimulates the immune system by encouraging the
growth of natural killer cells that directly
attack cancer cells. Also, it has the ability to
kill many of the antibiotic-resistant strains of
MRSA (the hospital superbug).

12. Meat
Lean meats (organic, of course, and grass-fed )
are an excellent source of protein. Meat also
provides needed iron, B12 and zinc. Bison meat is
often overlooked as an example of a healthier
meat, because bison live on natural grass and
spend very little time in feedlots or
slaughterhouses. As such, they are not given
drugs, chemicals or hormones. Bison meat has a
greater concentration of iron than any other meat,
as well as some essential fatty acids. Of
particular importance to women is its high iron
content.

13. Nuts
Nuts and seeds provide excellent nutritional
value. They are especially good sources of
essential fatty acids, gamma tocopherol, vitamin
E, protein and minerals. They also provide
valuable fiber components; important
phytonutrients in nuts and seeds include protease
inhibitors, ellagic acid and other polyphenols.

14. Olive Oil
Regular consumption of this omega-3-rich oil helps
protect against heart attacks, because of its
unique polyphenol and monounsaturated fatty-acid
content. Polyphenols in extra virgin olive oil
help keep cell membranes soft and pliable,
allowing for oxygenation and hydration, the
elements of life, to flow through the membranes
easily and thus give energy and vitality.

15. Oranges
Oranges contain high quantities of hesperetin,
which protects against inflammation. Eating these
regularly can lower cholesterol because of the
fiber/pectin. They are a good source of potassium,
which reduces blood pressure, as well as folic
acid, which lowers levels of homocysteine (high
levels of this substance in the body are not good
for the heart).

16. Pineapple
This is one of the top 50 foods with the highest
antioxidant con¬tent. Antioxidants have been found
to help protect cells from the damage of free
radicals, which can break down muscles, increase
aging effects and, as a result, lead to cancers
and other chronic diseases.

17. Sweet Potatoes
This power food is full of protein, fiber,
artery-protecting beta-carotene, blood
pressure-controlling potassium, and antioxidants.

18. Tea
Black, green and now white teas are hailed for
their anti¬-oxidant properties. The polyphenols in
green tea are powerful antioxidants and protect
against free-radical damage, which is a major
cause of arterial aging. Green tea may inhibit
breast, digestive and lung cancers as well.

19. Tomatoes
Cooked tomatoes contain high levels of lycopene, a
nutrient that reduces the risk of prostate, lung
and stomach cancers. Tomatoes contain potassium,
vitamin C and lycopene; each is essen¬tial to your
immune system and to keep your skin healthy.

20. Wild Salmon
This fish is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty
acids. Eating omega-3 rich salmon regularly may
help protect against heart disease, breast and
other cancers, as well as provide relief to
sufferers of certain autoimmune diseases, such as
rheumatoid arthritis and asthma. Its omega-3s are
great for mood and also protect the brain, and are
essential for the membranes of every one of your
6o to 90 trillion or so cells in your body.

If you follow the “Power Food” formula of eating,
within 90 days you will clear up a good deal of
any health problems you have, that’s just about
guaranteed. Add in the internal exercises and you
are going to look and feel younger, you are going
to have more energy and enjoy life more and more.
