Studies indicate that a diet rich in lycopene can decrease sunburn severity by about 40%.

Sunburn Protection with Lycopene-Rich Foods — Panka Natural Health It’s June, meaning warmer days and more sun exposure when spending time outdoors. While sunscreen and protective clothing are essential tools in the fight against sunburn, did you know that your diet can also play a significant role in protecting your skin against UV rays?

Fishing is a cherished pastime for many, offering a way to connect with nature and enjoy fresh catches. However, recent studies have highlighted a concerning aspect of consuming locally caught freshwater fish: contamination from PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances).

What are PFAS?
PFAS are chemicals found in many everyday products, such as non-stick pans, water-repellent clothing, and food packaging. These substances are incredibly persistent, both in the environment and the human body, and they are linked to various health risks.

Disturbing Findings from Recent Research:
A pivotal study focusing on PFAS levels in freshwater fish across the United States has revealed alarming details particularly relevant to anglers. The research found that PFAS levels in freshwater fish are significantly higher than those in commercially available fish. This is concerning because it suggests that individuals who frequently consume their catch may face higher exposure to these harmful chemicals.

Breakfast is called the most important meal of the day for a good reason. Think of it as a wake-up call for your metabolism that says, “Hey, it's showtime!” A well-balanced breakfast provides your body with essential nutrients and positively impacts how you feel.

The quality and composition of your breakfast certainly matter. A cup of coffee and a banana in the morning isn’t enough. With a breakfast like this, you’re likely to experience mid-morning fatigue or mental fogginess from a drop in your blood sugar and lack of substantial calories and nutrients.

A study performed by Australian National University found that higher magnesium intake leads to larger brain volumes and lower white matter lesions, slowing an aging brain. The effect was found to be more significant in post-menopausal women.These

findings suggest that magnesium intake may help preserve cognitive ability and lower the risk or delay the onset of dementia.

Magnesium-rich foods includes nuts, seeds, legumes, spinach, and whole grains.

Read your food labels for erythritol. A new study tells us it may be harmful to your health. Once thought of as a safe, low-calorie, and natural sweetener, new research tells us otherwise.

The research article in Nature Medicine discusses a study that investigated whether consuming a sugar substitute called erythritol is linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular events, such as heart attack and stroke.

The study followed a large group of people over several years and found that those who consumed high amounts of erythritol had a higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease compared to those who consumed lower amounts.

The researchers suggest that erythritol may be harmful to cardiovascular health, and more research is needed to understand the potential risks associated with its use. It is important to note that this study is only one piece of research, and more studies are needed to confirm these findings.

Processed food and beverages that contain erythritol:

Truvia
Swerve
Vitamin Water Zero
Halo Top ice cream
Bai drinks
CLEAN energy drinks

We have a new blog on our new website!

This one is about the importance of interpreting lab values from a functional perspective.

A functional interpretation of lab testing allows us to gain a better understanding of our patient's overall health.

Lab values are pieces of the whole picture. Even lab values within the “normal reference range” should be evaluated in detail.

We offer a wide variety of lab testing at PNH, from basic screening lab work to specialty lab panels.

Our lab panels assess hormone levels, metabolism, nutritional status, inflammation, gut health, neurotransmitters, immune health, environmental toxins, and more.

Read our blog to learn more, and check out the list of clinical laboratory tests available at PNH.
