showed that a high protein diet with added leucine could preserve muscle mass during weight loss. Shaklee has incorporated that breakthrough into their "Cinch Inch Loss Plan" and has published clinical studies showing that Cinch preserves muscle mass during weight loss and increases muscle mass when working out. So if you are saying "Is it time to diet already?" again this January, the answer is: "Yes, it is. It's time to Cinch it and take that weight off for good!"

If January 1st is time for your annual diet, you are like most Americans. And if you begin a diet every January its pretty clear that none of your diets have worked very well or for very long. And you're not the only one. The National Center for Health Statistics just released the latest numbers showing that 34% of Americans are obese, 32.7% are overweight and 6% are morbidly obese. That's a 48% increase in obesity since 1988! It also means that over 2/3 of all Ameri-cans are now either overweight or obese. While it's tempting to say "why bother", you should resist that temp-tation. If you are significantly over-weight its not a question of whether you will develop diabetes, heart dis-ease or hypertension - it's a matter of when. So which diet should you choose this time - low fat, low carbohydrate, high protein or something else? Two studies comparing the major diets

were published in 2008. And the result is there is not a lot of difference between them! The low carbohydrate diets are slightly better at 3 to 6 months, but there's little or no difference by 12 or 24 months. Worse yet, by 24 months most of the weight has returned on all 3 diets. Well, you knew that. Doesn't the weight always come back? Well it doesn't have to. The problem with most diets is that you lose muscle as well as fat. That lowers your metabolic rate, which makes it almost impossible to keep the weight off long term. But there is another way. Several years ago a doctor at the University of Illinois

Creaky knees? VIVIX could be your answer…..

How much weight are you carrying?

Your knees bear the brunt of your body weight, so it's crucial that you maintain a healthy body mass

index

Are you exercising?

Regular exercise is essential to maintaining knee strength. Without it, your muscles weaken, leaving

your joints without ample support

Are you overusing some muscles and joints?

For example, repeatedly engaging in the same activity -- whether for work, recreation, or exercise --

may loosen tendons or damage cartilage and eventually lead to injuries and possibly even arthritis.

The resveratrol in grapes has long been heralded for its heart-healthy properties. But the same compound

may also help reduce symptoms of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, writes Joseph Maroon, MD, in his

book

The Longevity Factor: How Resveratrol and Red Wine Activate Genes for a Longer and Healthier Life How It Works Resveratrol stops inflammation the same way aspirin and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs do -- by inhibit-ing the molecular switch that turns inflammation on and off in the body. Still hurting despite taking your pain meds and supplements? No one is suggesting that resveratrol will ever replace pain pills. But results from several early studies show that the compound could someday have a place in joint care. In fact, in a recent study, researchers found that injections of resveratrol helped soothe inflamed joints in animals. And while it's not clear how much dietary resveratrol would be needed to help arthritis, grapes and grape juice have lots of other health-promoting qualities, so adding those to your diet certainly can't hurt.
