Can Diet Prevent ALS?
Can Diet Prevent ALS?
Risk of developing ALS decreased 25% in people consuming the highest amount of carotenoidsEating more brightly colored fruits and vegetables might help prevent or delay the onset of ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), a progressive neurodegenerative disorder commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease.What is ALS?
ALS affects the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord that control movement. Over time these nerve cells die, leading to an inability of the brain to initiate and control muscle movement. Eventually, the disease may lead to total paralysis and is nearly always fatal. ALS usually doesn't affect intelligence, and people with advanced ALS can still control their eye movements as well as bladder and bowel function.
Colorful help for ALS
Several studies have suggested that oxidative stress-damage caused by unstable compounds called free radicals-contributes to ALS. Some studies have shown that high-dose vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant, can slow the progression of ALS in animals with the hereditary form of the disease.
According to the study published in Annals of Neurology, to see what effect antioxidant carotenoids and vitamin C had on the risk of developing ALS, researchers pooled the results of five different studies including the National Institutes of Health-AARP Diet and Health Study, the Cancer Prevention Study II-Nutrition Cohort, the Multiethnic Cohort, the Health Professionals Follow-up Study, and the Nurses' Health Study. Information from more than one million people was included in the study. Of these, 1,153 people died from ALS.
- Risk of developing ALS decreased 25% in people consuming the highest amount of carotenoids compared with those consuming the least.
- Risk of developing ALS was 21% lower for those with higher dietary lutein intake, and 15% lower for those with higher beta-carotene intake.
- Vitamin C and other carotenoids, including lycopene and beta-cryptoxanthin, didn't seem to affect ALS risk.
"ALS is a devastating degenerative disease that generally develops between the ages of 40 and 70, and affects more men than women," said senior study author Dr. Alberto Ascherio, Professor of Epidemiology and Nutrition at Harvard School of Public Health in Boston. "Understanding the impact of food consumption on ALS development is important. Our study is one of the largest to date to examine the role of dietary antioxidants in preventing ALS."

Lutein is found in many vegetables, including kale, collard greens, corn, romaine lettuce, turnip greens, spinach, Brussels sprouts, and zucchini. Egg yolks are another rich source.
Beta-carotene is found in sweet potatoes, spinach, broccoli, cantaloupe, winter squash, cilantro, and other dark leafy greens.
"Our findings suggest that consuming carotenoid-rich foods may help prevent or delay the onset of ALS," concluded Dr. Ascherio. "Further food-based analyses are needed to examine the impact of dietary nutrients on ALS."

Comments about Natrol® Natrol Carb Intercept with Phase 2™:
I have high blood pressure and needed to lose weight (30 lbs). Saw this on Dr. Oz as well and tried it. I take one capsule before every meal where I will have a lot of carbs only. I also take the OxyElite Pro. I have lost 5 pounds per month since starting. I have a foot problem that doesn't let me exercise very heavily but have been careful (but not great) about what I eat. I tried everything else and couldn't lose. I feel that these two products are steadily taking the weight off at a healthy rate. It has not affected my blood pressure or made me jittery like other products have in the past. I have told all of my friends and family how easy it has been to finally take off the unwanted pounds. 15 more to go!!!

Comments about Natrol® Natrol Carb Intercept with Phase 2™:
Wow! Thank you Natrol (and Dr. Oz for recommending) for coming up with a product that actually works! I'm back in this website to order two more bottles which is why I'm leaving this review today. Purchasing one for my purse and one for home. I am not dieting and have not changed my eating habits at all. I just take 2 capsules immediately before eating lunch and dinner. I have dropped 6 lbs. in 3 weeks without trying!! I stood stunned when I got on the scale after 2 weeks and had a 5lb. loss - another pound gone this morning just like that and without trying. 6lbs in 3 weeks!!! Highly recommend and believe that all my purchases will be under the Natrol label from now on!!!!! :)

Comments about Natrol® Natrol Carb Intercept with Phase 2™:
Have been using this product for 3 weeks in conjunction with the GNC product OxyElite. Down 9 lbs. Incorporated a low maintenance diet of 3 days on and 4 days off with walking a minimum of 60 minutes a day (30 minutes in the morning before work and 30 minutes in the evenings). Have had absolutely no side effects with either product and can't say enough good things about either of them. I was worried that the OxyElite would make me feel nervous/shaky/jittery but it never did. Will definitely buy again until goal weight is reached and probably after to maintain.
Pros
- Effective
- Works Quickly
Cons
- Does not boost energy
Best Uses

Comments about Natrol® Natrol Carb Intercept with Phase 2™:

Comments about Natrol® Natrol Carb Intercept with Phase 2™:
I am on the Atkins diet, and we all know that cheating is something that needs happen once in a while before we end up going crazy and eating entirely too many carbs at once. I was pretty skeptical of these pills, but was pleasantly surprised by their effectiveness. Typically, if I "cheated" and had bread, pasta, or rice, I'd gain back about 3-4 lbs the next day of the weight I'd worked so hard to lose. When I took these pills immediately before eating anything containing starch, I did not gain any weight at the next weight-in. Although I'm not sure they actually help you lose weight, they certainly do help block carbs on those days when we just can't resist. I haven't tried them with sugary carbs yet, as I really really try to avoid them at all costs, but starchy carbs are definitely intercepted :)
