1 Success begins with good health. Al Amatuzio President and CEO, AMSOIL INC. MAY 2015 NUTRIENTS for Brain Health A diet that contains a wide assortment of healthy foods and nutrients doesn t just benefit the body; it may protect the brain from cognitive decline as you age, according to research. Omega-3 fatty acids and flavonoids can help defend against a variety of age-related conditions that can impair memory and general brain function, according to an article at Everyday Health online. OMEGA-3 FATTY ACIDS for Brain Volume Your memory functions smoothly when brain cells communicate quickly and easily with one another. As people age, nerve cells shrink, nutrient-rich blood supplies to the brain decline and inflammation often interferes with the processes. The brain then produces smaller quantities of key messenger chemicals called neurotransmitters. At some point, communication between cells becomes less smooth and memory skills suffer. Omega-3 fatty acids, especially docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), have been found to promote the efficient electrical signaling between nerve cells, reduce inflammation and may improve mental concentration and support memory.* The body cannot manufacture omega-3 fatty acids, so it needs to absorb them from food sources. Oily, cold-water fish such as salmon, mackeral and sardines are among the best sources of omega-3s. A number of other foods contain omega-3s such as leafy greens like Brussels sprouts, spinach, arugula, mint, kale and watercress; oils such as flaxseed oil, chia seed oil, cod liver oil and krill oil; eggs and walnuts. FLAVONOIDS May Help Protect Memory Fruits, vegetables and herbs contain flavonoids, special antioxidants that have been found to have many health benefits, including reducing inflammation, heart disease risk and eczema symptoms.* Studies report flavonoids are good for the aging brain, doing everything from increasing the number of connections between neurons to disrupting the development of causes of Alzheimer s disease.* Foods high in flavonoids include blueberries, strawberries and blackberries; leafy greens such as spinach, kale and watercress; as well as other colorful produce such as butternut squash, avocados, plums and red grapes; coffee, dark chocolate and red wine. Although there s no way to return aging brains to their youthful ability, it is possible to support the brain s ability to protect important neurons through smart lifestyle choices that include a healthy diet full of fruits, vegetables, oils, fish and lean meats. Highquality nutritional supplements combined with a wise eating plan also can help meet the brain s nutritional needs.

4 Nutritional Drink Mix Brings You the Power of Protein ALTRUM Nutritional Drink Mix gives you another way to enhance daily nutrition. Formulated with whey protein, this versatile product is perfect when you need a boost, but don t want to prepare a whole meal. Just mix it with 8 ounces of milk or water for a nutrient-rich boost at any time of the day. HMB to help maintain muscle mass Proprietary fruit blend antioxidant powder a blend of healthy fruits and vegetables Non-fat milk contains a form of niacin (niacinamideriboside) that can help maintain a healthy weight Vitamins and minerals 30 percent of daily value Flavor chocolate Stevia natural sweetener Beet sugar natural sweetener Whey protein is a complete protein and offers all nine essential amino acids the body needs from food. It is highly digestible, which makes it an especially beneficial supplement. SPEED RECOVERY, ENHANCE MUSCLE MASS The International Society of Sports Nutrition, or ISSN, notes that when exercisers ingest protein after a workout, their post-exercise soreness is significantly reduced. Whey protein is easily digested and the proteins in it are available almost immediately to muscles needing repair post-exercise. In fact, consumption of 20 to 25 grams of a rapidly-absorbed protein, such as whey protein, may serve to maximally stimulate muscle building after resistance exercise in young, healthy individuals. High-quality, leucine-rich proteins, such as whey, may be particularly important for the elderly to support muscle protein synthesis as well. HELP BALANCE SYSTEMS OF THE BODY Consuming whey protein increases the amount of the antioxidant glutathione in the body, which plays a role in keeping the immune system healthy. This applies to athletes who may experience reduced glutathione levels from intense exercise, as well as people with chronic conditions. ALTRUM Nutritional Drink Mix has a rich chocolate flavor, that delivers highquality whey protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals, enzymes, proprietary fruit and vegetable powder blend and HMB, a metabolite that can help reduce soreness from exercise and maintain lean muscle mass.* ALTRUM Nutritional Drink Mix Supplies Protein Fiber Enzymes Antioxidants Vitamins and minerals Ingredients in Nutritional Drink Mix Protein 10 g an excellent source Fiber provides 5 g an excellent source Enzyme blend contains protease (digest protein), amylase (digest carbs) and lipase (digest fats) to help assimilate nutrients in the formula POTENTIAL FOR WEIGHT LOSS Whey protein has almost no fat and is low in calories. Adding it to a diet for weight loss can help increase feelings of satiation because protein digests more slowly, according to the National Dairy Council. Whey protein also helps to suppress appetite by encouraging the body to release specific hormones. More than curbing hunger, improving insulin sensitivity and optimizing muscle mass, research suggests that whey may help reduce stress, moderate cortisol and support healthy serotonin levels, imparting feelings of wellbeing, according to Life Extension, a respected leader in anti-aging research. 4 MAY 2015 ALTRUM
