Perhaps you’ve been to a fancy Italian restaurant and heard the waiter reciting the specials and when he gets to the salad, one of the ingredients he mentions is radicchio. Radicchio, pronounced, “Rah-DEEK-ee-oh”, is a magenta-colored leafy Italian vegetable with a ton of flavor and health benefits.

Radicchio belongs to the same family as dandelions and other vegetables in the chicory family, including Belgian endive. Radicchio looks a lot like red cabbage, but it has its own remarkable bitter-spicy flavor. Radicchio’s uniquely bitter flavor makes it a great addition to salads, but it also is deliciously mellow when grilled or sautéed.

There are several different varieties of radicchio, but Chioggia is the variety you see most often in the grocery store. It usually comes in a small round head, much like a head of cabbage. Radicchio is mostly grown in the Mediterranean, but in the U.S., radicchio is also grown in California.

Like many leafy vegetables, radicchio is high in vitamins and minerals, especially vitamin K which helps with blood clotting. Radicchio also contains vitamin C, vitamin B6, vitamin E, calcium, magnesium, zinc, copper, and a little bit of iron.

Radicchio has also been used in the past for wound healing, treating diarrhea, heart health, and maintaining blood sugar.

Like many brightly colored vegetables, radicchio is known for being high in antioxidants and protecting your body from damaging free radicals. Free radicals, which can come from many things in the environment, can damage the DNA in cells and lead to diseases such as cancer, heart disease, inflammation, and even dementia.

The deep pinkish purple of the radicchio leaves contains a powerful antioxidant called anthocyanin. Dark red grapes, cherries, blueberries and other blue, purple, or red fruits and vegetables also contain this antioxidant.

Anthocyanins are known to possess diabetes-fighting, cancer preventative, anti-inflammatory, pathogen-destroying and fat-fighting effects—in addition to preventing cardiovascular disease.

In fact, anthocyanins are so powerful, that they have potential pharmaceutical ingredients for medication. This study found these antioxidants effective at fighting a type of liver cancer. Other studies have shown the antioxidants in radicchio protect red blood cells. Anthocyanins also protect the skin from aging and help prevent cognitive decline in the elderly. In short, these antioxidants are the perfect anti-aging, preventative medicine.

Let’s take a look at some of the other incredible health benefits of radicchio:

• Cancer-Fighting—The high levels of antioxidants in radicchio help fight free radical damage. Free radicals damage cells’ DNA. Cells with damaged DNA often can reproduce into cancer cells. Radicchio’s ability to protect cell DNA, helps the body to create new, healthy cells and prevent cancer and metastasis.
• Healthier Heart and Blood Vessels—Inflammation is one of the primary causes of heart disease. When inflammation levels are high, the body sends out cholesterol to coat the blood vessels and the heart to protect from damage. When cholesterol and inflammation levels are high, risk levels for strokes and heart attacks go way up. Radicchio’s antioxidants help to lower inflammation and fight high cholesterol, protecting the heart, brain and the blood vessels.
• Diabetes Control—Radicchio contains a type of fiber that is called ‘inulin’. This fiber can help control blood sugar levels and keep them stable—something that is important for those with diabetes. Radicchio also contains caffeic acid and choric acid that can increase glucose uptake in the muscle cells where it will be utilized, rather than leaving the glucose in the bloodstream where it can cause damage. This substance can also stimulate the pancreatic cells to secrete more insulin, further helping to control blood sugar for diabetics.
• Weight Loss—The fiber and antioxidants in radicchio can help improve digestion—preventing constipation, bloating and other GI inflammation. A diet high in colorful vegetables helps you feel full, and is known to help with weight loss and maintaining a healthy weight.
• Smooth Healthy Skin—Radicchio’s high levels of vitamin A, and B-complex vitamins help to fight wrinkles, brighten up the skin and strengthen the hair and nails. B vitamins are especially important for energy and detoxification, as well as fighting inflammation, redness, and dry skin. And the high concentration of vitamin K helps keep skin smooth, glowing, and free of rashes, eczema, and other skin disorders.
• Anti-parasitic—Compounds in radicchio can help fight off certain GI parasitic infections. One study showed its power in fighting GI disease in livestock and another study showed its effectiveness against roundworm in pigs.

Want to try some radicchio? Try tearing up some leaves in a salad for some color and flavor interest. It pairs well with blue cheese topping, and arugula. Or if the bitterness is too much, roasting radicchio on the grill will bring out a smooth nutty flavor, most anyone would enjoy.

Try this recipe from Bon Appetit magazine.

Ingredients:

• 2 large heads of radicchio, halved through core end. Cut each half into 3 wedges with some core still attached to hold the leaves together.
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 TBSP chopped fresh thyme
• Balsamic vinegar (for drizzling)

Directions:

1. Preheat grill to 400-450°F. Rinse radicchio wedges in cold water; gently shake off excess water (do not dry completely). Place radicchio in large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with thyme, salt, and pepper; toss to coat.
2. Arrange radicchio wedges, 1 cut side up, on grill. Roast until wilted, about 12 minutes. Turn over and roast until tender, about 8 minutes longer.
3. Arrange radicchio on platter, drizzle with balsamic vinegar, fresh thyme, salt and pepper, and serve.

Do you take zinc to help prevent colds, flu and Covid? If not, you should be getting zinc on a daily basis.

Zinc is an amazing mineral that has many benefits, including powering up your immune system, helping your body heal wounds, maintain healthy testosterone levels, balance metabolism, helping with nerve function, assisting proper brain function, cell growth, protecting vision, and assisting in better taste and smell.

Getting adequate zinc also helps keep hormones in balance, and even a small deficiency can result in an increased risk for infertility or diabetes.

Zinc is the one of the most abundant trace minerals in your body and is contained in every cell. In fact, cell division and healthy growth of cells is dependent on zinc’s ability to protect the cells’ DNA.

The mineral zinc has powerful antioxidant properties and helps to activate roughly 300 different enzymatic functions in the body.

Since the body cannot make zinc on its own, it is essential to obtain zinc from dietary sources and/or supplements. Some of the best sources of zinc include red meat (preferably grass fed), oysters, lamb, chicken, eggs, chickpeas, nuts, and pumpkin seeds. Vegetarians and vegans often have difficulty getting enough of this vital mineral in their diets if they are not eating meat.

Let’s look at some of the most important benefits of zinc:

Powerful Immune Function

You may have heard a lot of discussion on zinc in the past couple of years because zinc is a powerful tool to help fight off viruses such as colds, flu and even Covid. Zinc works as a preventative for illness and also works to help the body fight off pathogens, once infected.

It’s been reported that patients with low zinc levels developed much worse cases of Covid-19 with poorer outcomes. Zinc deficient patients with Covid developed more complications, prolonged hospital stays, and more respiratory difficulties. The same goes for those with influenza and other illnesses as well.

Zinc can be taken as a natural remedy for fighting the common cold, flu and Covid, etc. Studies show when zinc is taken for at least five months, it may reduce your risk of becoming sick with the common cold — plus supplementing once you already feel sick may speed up the healing process.

How does zinc do this? Once zinc gets into the cells where it functions best, it helps to interfere with virus replication, and helps maintain the body’s inflammation to prevent elevated out of control inflammatory responses like cytokine storms. Zinc also helps the function of the long-term memory T-cells, and B-cells, which help the body to retain memory of previous pathogens, and to actively fight any invaders.

Other research shows that this mineral helps interfere with the biological process that causes mucus and bacteria to build up in the sinuses and nasal passages.

If zinc is to work effectively in the body to fight off viruses, the zinc must be able to get inside the cells. This requires something called an ‘ionophore’.

An ionophore is a substance that allows zinc to travel across the cell wall into the center of the cell. This is where viruses gain entry and replicate. One of the most obtainable and inexpensive ionophore for zinc is a supplement called quercetin.

Quercetin is a naturally occurring plant pigment found in red onions, apples, dark grapes, berries, and green tea. Quercetin is one of the most abundant antioxidants found in our diet and contains strong anti-viral properties. So, if you are taking zinc to fight colds, flu, and other viral infections, be sure to get some quercetin to take with zinc. Quercetin is also readily available as a supplement.

Testosterone Production and Female Sex Hormones

Testosterone for men is not just for sex drive; it’s an important hormone that helps protect men’s health. While it is responsible for maintaining the sex drive, it is also important to prevent erectile dysfunction, muscle growth and bone strength. Testosterone levels generally peak in young men in their early twenties, and then begin to drop.

In the United States and other industrialized countries, there has been a recent drop in testosterone levels of men—resulting in an epidemic of erectile dysfunction, sexual dysfunction, and infertility. Lowered testosterone levels also contribute to physical changes like gynecomastia, loss of strength, fatigue, and lack of drive.

While there are a few contributing causes, including excess use of plastics and chemicals in our environment which create chemical estrogens (xenoestrogens), low testosterone levels may be as simple as a zinc deficiency—especially if you are vegetarian or vegan.

Zinc is necessary for males to produce adequate amounts of testosterone and to help maintain those levels. In one study, dietary zinc restriction in normal young men was associated with a significant decrease in serum testosterone concentrations after only 20 weeks. Conversely, zinc supplementation of marginally zinc-deficient normal men for six months resulted in a significant increase in serum testosterone levels.

Zinc levels also have an impact on female sex hormones and partially responsible for the creation and release of eggs from the ovaries.

Several studies show zinc deficiency in women can cause problems with hormone levels, including impaired synthesis and secretion of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), abnormal ovarian development, disruption of the menstrual cycle, prolonged gestation periods, miscarriages, still-births, birth defects, difficult deliveries, pre-eclampsia, and low birth weights of infants.

A diet high in foods that contain zinc, as well as supplementation can enhance and balance hormone levels in both men and women.

Helps Fight Diabetes

Zinc helps to manage hormones including hormones involved in diabetes. This includes insulin, primarily. Zinc helps to find to insulin, helping to maintain blood sugar levels better.

Zinc also helps with efficient utilization of digestive enzymes, helping to break down food better, and helping glucose to be used for fuel, rather than being stored as fat.

Zinc helps to improve insulin receptors, prolong the action of insulin, and promote healthy lipid levels. It is thought that abnormal levels of copper and zinc seem to accompany diabetes and may be implicated in many of the complications of diabetes as well. Zinc supplementation may possibly have clinical use as an adjunct therapy for preventing or managing diabetes.

Acne and Wound Healing

Zinc is essential for healthy skin, and is involved with encouraging growth of healthy tissue. Zinc also promotes the growth of collagen, along with vitamin C. Collagen is the structure that supports the skin, forms connective tissue, ligaments, and cartilage.

Zinc is often used for patients with severe burns, slow-healing wounds, or infections, and to prevent scar formation. Because zinc helps support the immune system, it also helps to fight infection in the skin as well.

Zinc also helps those who struggle with acne and helps to prevent breakouts. It’s considered to be one of the best natural treatments for acne.

Zinc is also of benefit for atopic dermatitis (rashes) and diaper dermatitis. Zinc makes a great natural barrier against moisture and irritation of diapers in babies.

Because zinc is also a powerful antioxidant, zinc helps prevent heart disease, fight cancer, aids in nutrient assimilation, helps build muscle, fights ADD/ADHD, helps get rid of depression, improves macular degeneration, and protects the liver.

Brain Health

Zinc benefits also extend to brain function. Neurons are the fundamental units of the brain and the nervous system. These important cells are responsible for receiving all the sensory input from the from the external world, for sending commands to our muscles to move, to help with thought processes, and for transforming and relaying electrical signals.

Zinc is actually used by the body to help create new neurons in the brain’s hippocampus. The hippocampus of the brain is the place where memories are developed. It helps to synthesize memories, emotions, and other sensations all together. Once a memory is put together in the hippocampus, it is sent to another portion of the brain to store as a long-term memory.

When zinc levels are low, the process of forming memories is inhibited, causing long-term and short-term memory problems.

When communication amongst the brain cells is slow due to inflammation or other issues, you may experience brain fog. Brain fog is the inability to focus or concentrate to think clearly. Brain fog can impair a person’s ability to reason, make decisions, and problem solve. Because zinc is effective at reducing inflammation, zinc also helps to clear brain fog and get rid of brain fog.

The brain also needs zinc to create dopamine. Dopamine is a ‘feel-good’ hormone that is also very important for memory and focus. Studies show a zinc supplement improves focus and memory, while reducing impulsivity.

Attention deficit disorder (ADD) and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder are common development disorders that often affect both children and adults. It was found that circulating levels of zinc were significantly lower in those with ADHD.

Zinc deficiency is also connected to a variety of other neurological disorders including autism, seizures, depression, and anxiety disorders.

Zinc Deficiency

Zinc deficiencies are common, especially amongst those who don’t eat meat.

Since zinc plays an important role in many biochemical pathways including the digestive system, nervous system, immune system, reproductive system, and skeletal system, deficiencies can cause many health issues.

Signs of zinc deficiency include:

• Getting colds, flu, and other illnesses easily
• Fatigue
• Blood sugar issues
• Inability to concentrate or sit still
• Poor growth
• Skin infections and poor wound healing.

People who avoid meat, poultry, and fish and at the highest risk for zinc deficiency. Even though some plant foods contain zinc, it is best absorbed in the presence of animal protein. People who suffer from celiac disease, digestive problems, or alcoholism and liver disease are also at high risk of being deficient.

If you don’t feel you are getting enough zinc in your diet, it’s best to supplement. Keep in mind that too much zinc can become toxic, so it’s best to keep your zinc intake in the therapeutic zone.

Zinc supplements come in several forms including:

• zinc gluconate
• zinc sulfate
• zinc acetate
• zinc picolinate
• zinc citrate
• zinc glycerate

According to Dr. Josh Axe and other nutrition experts, the tolerable upper limit to be around 40-50 milligrams per day. Some studies have found that higher doses can help fight off colds, flu and Covid, but check with your doctor first. And—avoid taking zinc if you haven’t eaten, zinc is best taken with food to avoid stomach upset.

Most people never think about zinc when it comes to their heart — but research shows low zinc levels weaken arterial walls, fuel inflammation, and accelerate plaque buildup. Worse, without enough zinc, blood platelets clump together more aggressively, raising the risk of dangerous clots. The result? A silent vulnerability hiding in plain sight — and a simple deficiency that could be putting your heart at serious risk.

Duke MD: “#1 heart attack sign is not chest pain, cholesterol, or BP”

The first sign of a heart attack is almost never chest pain…

High cholesterol… or high blood pressure.

The new discovery of a top Duke University doctor has stunned cardiologists worldwide:

If the levels of this one nutrient in your heart are LOW, your chances of heart issues skyrocket.

(Hint: it’s not Omega-3s.)

This common deficiency leaves no trace on standard blood work panels.

Which means even with perfect cholesterol & normal blood pressure, you could STILL be at serious risk.

“Almost everyone forgets their heart is a muscle. And like any muscle… it needs protein-like nutrients to stay strong,” says Dr. Rick Cohen.

Dr. Cohen’s natural solution has helped thousands of people enjoy a healthy heart without living on drugs.

And he’s released a short video revealing a simple pre-shower technique to keep your heart strong.

We are all familiar with the warm healing light of the sun. Nothing feels better than those warm rays penetrating our skin. The sun contains a whole spectrum of light including the ultra violet light that gives us a suntan and at the other end of the spectrum, the warmth of infrared light that warms us up.

But what if you took just the red or near infrared light and concentrated that? You would end up with a healing beneficial light that is known for treating a variety of health issues including:

• Wound healing and soft tissue repair
• Collagen growth
• Hair growth
• Rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis
• Pain and inflammation for joints, muscles, tendons and ligaments
• Traumatic brain injury, spinal cord regeneration
• Increased circulation and formation of new capillaries

Red light therapy in various forms has been around for a while, but we are just now starting to see some new and beneficial applications of this healing light. There are many different types of red light therapy. While there’s a fair amount of evidence to show that RLT may be a promising treatment for certain conditions, there’s still a lot to learn about how it works, too.

Red light therapy is still somewhat controversial and is still under considerable scrutiny and study, but what is known is that there are no known adverse effects of this treatment. Try saying that about the majority of pharmaceutical treatments used for various health issues!

Red light therapy, according to the Healthline.com includes a variety of types of red light including:

• Photobiomodulation (PBM)
• Low level light therapy (LLLT)
• Biostimulation
• Photonic stimulation
• Low-power laser therapy (LPLT)

There are many different options for red light therapy treatments as well. Light is organized into wavelengths, and wavelengths make all the difference in terms of the energy delivered to the treatment site. There are two main factors to consider:

1. Light wavelength—Most devices deliver red light between 600-1000nm. Although there are plenty of studies that show benefits from all these wavelengths, the bulk of evidence shows 660-680nm is the most effective.

2. Energy delivered—Energy delivered to your cells is measured in Joules/cm2. Some credible research has shown 4-6 Joules/cm2, but up to 120 Joules/cm2 is used for deeper issues like arthritis.

How does this therapy work? Visible red light is capable of penetrating the skin to a depth of about 8 to 10 mm. Once absorbed, the light energy is converted to cellular energy, stimulating the body’s natural processes on a cellular level.

Red light actually can produce a chemical reaction in the cells of the body that affect the mitochondria, or powerhouses of the cells. The mitochondria contain the energy-producing adenosine triphosphate or ATP. Red light therapy is thought to increase the ATP production in the cells, which help the cells repair damage, function better, and offer up more energy.

The thing that makes red light therapy (RLT) different from other light therapies like laser therapy is that RLT works deep in the skin, without damaging the surface of the skin. Most laser treatments actually affect the surface layer of the skin.

Many studies have had promising results, but the benefits of red light therapy are still a source of controversy. While red light therapy has been approved by the FDA and its effectiveness is being extensively studied. Let’s take a look at some of the proven benefits of red light treatment.

Cancer Patients

Red light therapy helps to reduce the painful side effects of radiation and chemotherapy for cancer patients. Utilizing a type of red light called High Emissivity Aluminiferous Luminescent Substrate (HEALS) has been shown to stimulate cells to aid in healing processes.

One of the common and painful side effects of chemo and radiation is oral mucositis or inflammation of the mouth and gums. NASA tested the HEALS method on patients and concluded that 96 percent of the patients experienced some improvement as a result. This same type of treatment is now being used for treatment of slow-healing wounds, or infections, diabetic skin ulcers, and serious burns.

Wound Healing

Red light therapy has been shown to be very effective for wound healing, tissue repair and skin ulcers. Many laser treatments used intense pulsed light for skin rejuvenation, but this type of treatment actually causes controlled damage to the skin, in hopes it will heal better and stronger.

Red light therapy actually penetrates deep inside the skin to stimulate the regenerative process of healing by increased cell growth. RLT stimulates immune cells, causes beneficial inflammation, and stimulates certain healing elements in the skin to help repair and restore its health.

Stimulates Collagen and Hair Growth

One of the more popular treatments for RLT is its effect on reversing wrinkles. A study done in 2014 shows RLT’s effectiveness in promoting new collagen growth and rejuvenating skin. The subjects in the study reported improved skin tone, reduction of fine lines and wrinkles, improved smoothness of skin texture. In addition, collagen density improved significantly, using an ultrasound to measure. Patients with rosacea and skin redness also reported improvements as well. RLT is also valuable as a treatment for acne, psoriasis, eczema and cold sores.

Red light therapy can actually stimulate follicle growth and help to reverse baldness or hair thinning. Only two drugs have been approved so far for hair loss, and the only other treatment is hair transplants. RLT has no known adverse side effects, and the red light stimulates the stem cells in the hair follicle, shifting them into a growth phase. This study done on male and female subjects showed a significant difference in the treated vs. untreated groups. The results showed low level laser treatments to be an effective option to treat male pattern baldness and alopecia.

Bone, Joint, Tendon and Ligament Health and Function

Sore achy joints benefit well from the stimulating healing power of red light therapy. Not only is RLT known for stimulating collagen production (cartilage, tendons and ligaments are made from this), but it also helps to REBUILD cartilage. A 2009 Cochrane review concluded that red light therapy (LLLT) “…could be considered for short-term treatment and relief of pain for those suffering from rheumatoid arthritis, particularly since it has few side effects.”

For those with other degenerative bone and joint issues, like regular osteoarthritis, or other musculoskeletal sprains, strains, and other disorders, this type of therapy can be very beneficial as well. Other studies showed a higher chance of significantly improved functional outcomes, including a better range of motion. Patients with knee osteoarthritis used red light therapy to reduce pain scores and increase microcirculation in the knee.

Literature reviews have concluded that red light therapy does reduce joint pain. even in chronic joint disorders. Red light exposure also increases blood flow to the skin and improves fracture healing time. The increased blood flow and the cellular rejuvenation that is thought to occur during this therapy are two of the important factors in improving the joints and tissues.

Decreasing some of the oxidative damage that occurs during repetitive motion, and hard use, while slowing down inflammation, are two of the primary reasons for treatment. Aging athletes could do well to start utilizing this type of treatment for their recovery, injuries, aches and pains.

Other potential areas of treatment for Red Light Therapy

Red light therapy also shows great promise in treating macular degeneration, a serious eye disease that can cause blindness and reduced area of vision. Applying the RLT to the eyes of seniors significantly improved vision after just two weeks of treatment.

Red light therapy has also been studied and has much promise for treatment of traumatic brain injury and spinal cord injuries. The red light stimulates blood flow and neuro-regeneration for these types of injuries. This study shows significant improvement and speed of healing in function from treatment of red light therapy.

Applying red light to the skin covering the thyroid gland in patients with autoimmune thyroiditis for ten sessions improved thyroid function.

And RLT has been also shown to be naturally energizing, while improving peoples’ moods by increasing self-confidence, positivity, passion, joyfulness, laughter, social awareness, conversation skills and sensory stimulation. While results vary from patient to patient, there’s reason to believe that LLLT has mental and emotional perks in addition to physical benefits.

While there is still some uncertainty and confusion surrounding red light treatments, much is needed to be studied. This type of treatment is showing great promise and I believe we have only scratched the surface of its healing ability at the molecular, cellular and tissue levels.

Mike’s Note:  The brand of red light that I personally started using about 8 months ago is called a Joovv light.  It was recommended to me by a few colleagues and really smart functional medicine doctors at the time.  I’ve been using it for the collagen stimulation and anti-aging benefits for my skin, as well as muscle recovery from workouts, and also testosterone production by shining it for 5-10 minutes a day on the testes.  The evidence that it works well for all of these uses, as well as wound healing and inflammation is pretty strong, so I feel really good about it using it almost daily.

Check out the Joovv lights here and how to get one (lowers inflammation in your body, fights skin aging, builds collagen, and even helps boost Testosterone too!)
