WHY THIS LONGEVITY HERB IS A MUST ADD TO YOUR DOG’S DIET! 🐶🍠

Cancer is considered the leading cause of sickness and death in dogs. In fact, when it comes to the golden retriever, one study found that 68.3% of golden retrievers were diagnosed with some form of cancer and 65.0% of golden retrievers had a death attributable to cancer. According to the National Cancer Institute, approximately 6 million new cancer diagnoses are made in dogs each year. “Since not all pets receive medical care or a definitive cancer diagnosis, this number likely would rise if every pet saw a veterinarian annually.” 📈- AAHA

One of the world's most extensively researched and promising natural compounds for cancer treatment is a medicinal herb that so desperately needs to be incorporated into our pets’ lives. 🌿 That herb is turmeric root. Turmeric has been used for thousands of years not only as a spice but also as a medicinal herb, and now science is beginning to understand why. 👩🏼‍🔬 Its medicinal properties and components (primarily curcumin) have been the subject of over 5600 peer-reviewed and published biomedical studies, and has been shown to have anti-aging properties.

Over the years, curcumin has been studied as a potential tool to both reduce as well as possibly treat, different forms of cancer.🦠 Various studies have found that curcumin can help kill tumor cells, as well as inhibit tumor growth in test tube and animal studies. With the ability to selectively target cancer stem cells, curcumin plays a significant role in suppressing the metastasis of cancer cells.

In addition, curcumin has also been shown to help boost the levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and improve cognition by making omega-3 DHA, more available in the brain.🧠 This means that in addition to improving memory, and maybe even delaying memory loss, curcumin-boosted BDNF could be effective in delaying or even halting age-related neurodegenerative diseases.

More recent research has discovered curcumin may also protect the body from oxidative stress and damage caused by advanced glycation end products (AGEs). Studies show that cooking some foods at high heat results in the formation of more than ten to hundred times of new AGEs in foods. Processed canned and kibble dog food may contain significantly high levels of these AGEs. Animal and human studies show dietary AGEs result in increased oxidative stress, inflammation, and potentially organ damage, with more than half of absorbed AGEs bound in the liver and kidney. Accumulation of AGEs in the body over time may be a significant contributor of aging. Curcumin has been shown to not only protect the body from AGE’s damage but may also inhibit the formation of AGEs in the body.

👉 Our suggested dose for dogs: 50 to 250 mg two times a day, this is roughly 2 mg per pound of body weight twice a day. *Based on curcumin's naturally low bioavailability, source a product that has been formulated for increased absorption.

As with people, the longest lived dogs often have healthy dietary habits in common. In the Herbs for Health section of our new book, The Forever Dog, turmeric is one of the many herbs we recommend sharing with your dog. We also explain how to incorporate herbs into your dog’s meals, along with how much to feed. 🐾 Get your copy now: foreverdogextras.com/pet-longevity

The cancer-fighting vegetable you should be sharing with your dog! 🥦

No matter what type of pet food you are feeding, adding broccoli to your pet’s diet is a powerful way to make any pet food better and have a profound impact on your dog’s health. 🐶

When writing our new book, The Forever Dog, we wanted to equip you with easy-to-add foods that can add valuable nutrition to your pet’s bowl.

In the chapter “Dietary Habits for a Long and Healthy Life” we cover all of the dog-friendly foods, herbs and fluids that provide nutrient diversity, build the microbiome and bolster your dog’s antioxidant, and polyphenol intake… smart choices for delaying aging! 🧬

Building A Better bowl is one of the many simple strategies in The Forever Dog book to intentionally create a thriving dog. Available now for pre-order at https://foreverdog.com/about/

📖Here’s an excerpt from The Forever Dog:

Broccoli contains a critical compound called “sulforaphanes” ….When tested in both animals and human studies, sulforaphanes slowed the rate of cancer and cardiovascular biomarkers, reduced inflammation markers, and significantly removed toxins from the body, including harmful heavy metals, mycotoxins, and AGEs!

In addition to being loaded with gut-friendly fiber, cruciferous vegetables also come with vitamins, antioxidants, and substances with anti-inflammatory effects. Broccoli in particular contains two supermolecules: 3,3'-Diindolylmethane (DIM) and sulforaphane, which naturally boost glutathione levels.…Research in dogs also shows DIM can also have antitumor/anticancer activity. Sulforaphane has been studied for bone and bladder cancer in dogs with impressive results. A key point: The magic of sulforaphane is found only when broccoli is eaten; dogs and people don’t benefit from sulforaphane in supplement form because it degrades so quickly. This magical molecule stimulates apoptosis (healthy, programmed cell death) in your dog’s body, which is vital when bad cancerous cells need to be killed.

THE DANGEROUS REALITY OF PET FOOD STORAGE CONTAINERS

Whether in a pet shop, box store, or online, pet food storage containers are being offered everywhere. Heck, at expos and trade shows they are given away to market a company’s brand name! However, these storage containers can be deadly if used incorrectly!

We all grew up in the age of Tupperware and storing our food in plastic containers. I mean, storage containers were designed to preserve foods, help organize our kitchens, and make our lives easier. Right?

Well, with the amount of information made available to us today, this thought process has changed quickly! With all the research that has been published on eating food out of plastic, that era of using plastic awesomeness has officially died!

Today, more and more families are throwing out their plastic food storage containers (recycle!) and switching to safer alternatives.

But what about our furry companions? Are they receiving the same consideration when it comes to food storage?

Not according to research, they aren’t!

Today, retail shelves are littered with storage containers for dry and wet pet foods; from products like snap & seals and air-tight stackables, to plastic storage carts on wheels.

WHAT IS THE BIG DEAL?

Let’s start with the obvious:

Research has shown that certain plastic containers leach an assortment of chemicals into our foods and, of course, pet foods! Chemicals in plastic like BPA have been shown to have hormone mimicking, estrogenic and cancer properties.

“Ok. No problem,” you may say, because as we know BPA has been taken out of some plastic storage containers and replaced with a different chemical called bisphenol-S (BPS).

But according to science, BPS appears to be just as toxic (if not more so) than BPA.

“In 2013, researchers at the University of Texas Medical Branch discovered that even minute concentrations—less than one part per trillion—of BPS can disrupt cellular functioning. Metabolic disorders like obesity, diabetes, and even cancer, are potential ramifications of such disruptions.” – Mercola https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/01/130122191412.htm

TO KEEP RAINING ON THE STORAGE CONTAINER PARADE -

Pet food containers have phthalates & estrogenic activity going on!

In the Environmental Health Perspectives study, they found that out of 500 plastic products they tested, plastics leached when stressed, and 90 percent of them leached even without stress. In fact, the Environmental Health Perspectives study found that some BPA-free products had even more estrogenic activity than BPA-containing products! - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3222987/

Here’s some more rain - Lest we forget phthalates!

Phthalates, which are used as plasticizers in everything, and especially pet food storage containers, have shown to be super-destructive!

“These chemicals have disrupted the endocrine systems of wildlife, causing testicular cancer, ge***al deformations, low s***m counts, and infertility in polar bears, deer, whales, and otters, just to name a few.” - Dr. Karen Becker

OK, NOW FOR THE WHOPPER OF A PROBLEM!

Are you washing your pet food container daily??

When the fats and oils of kibble hit the walls of pet food containers, they begin to oxidize (especially in the plastic ones).

Once the reaction starts, it is self propagating and unstoppable. The oxidation reaction creates free radicals that oxidize fat molecules. The inevitable result is an avalanche of oxidation, and like nearly all-chemical reactions in nature, the warmer the conditions the faster it goes.

In layman terms: over time, the residual fats and oils that have settled along the walls and bottom of the storage container start to grow rancid and develop the invisible molds that will aid in the destruction of your pet’s health. That greasiness along the walls of your container is not so awesome!

According to Pet food formulator (maker) Steve Brown:

“As soon as a food is manufactured, it begins to undergo a variety of chemical and physical changes. It’s a basic law of the universe that everything degrades over time. This includes the proteins and vitamins in dog foods, but it’s the fats I worry about the most. Fats are among the most chemically fragile nutrients in dog food; they are the limiting factor to the shelf life of most dog foods. Fats that have degraded – gone “rancid” – can cause all sorts of health problems for dogs.”

WHY DO YOU NEED TO WASH PET FOOD STORAGE BINS DAILY?

Answer: Because plastic containers have tiny little microscopic pores!

When these fats get trapped in the pores, over time, they too will also grow rancid and contaminate each new batch of food poured into the containers. (Pet parents unknowingly keep pouring new bags of food in the containers, over and over, without washing out the rancid-formed fats and molds!)

Moral of the story:

Try to avoid using a plastic container to store kibble. However, if you already purchased the container, keep the food in its original bag and place that bag into the plastic container. This will help keep oxygen away from degrading the kibble, and saves you the giant disaster that could occur. (Remember to wash that container periodically.)

OR

A BETTER ROUTE TO TAKE: CHOOSE GLASS OVER PLASTIC

To avoid chemical toxins leaching into your pet food, choose glass over plastic when choosing a storage method. Glass pet food storage containers don’t leach unwanted, poisonous chemicals when in contact with pet food. Glass containers are non-porous and won’t absorb rancid oils. However, you should still wash these containers regularly.

OR

Just buy smaller bags of pet food so there is no need for these toxic containers in the first place. :)
