<div style="text-align: left;"> <h1 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Essential Advice on What to Eat and Why</strong></h1>

<h1 style="text-align: center;"><strong>The 2013 Wellness Report:<br />Eating for Optimal Health</strong></h1>
<div>You've heard it a thousand times.</div>
<div>"You are what you eat."</div>
<div>The idea of eating right for better health has been pounded into our heads for decades.</div>
<div>Today, it's an idea whose time has come ... and one that's right on the money. For eating healthy can pay big dividends -- in improved health, increased vitality, and greater longevity -- to men and women who are choosey and deliberate about what they pile onto their plates.</div>
<div>Unfortunately, many of us "talk the talk" when it comes to eating right ... but don't "walk the walk."</div>
<div>It's not simply a matter of will power. Though it can take a fair amount of that to bypass your favorite "guilty pleasures" in favor of safer -- and healthier -- foods.</div>
<div>But most of us simply aren't up to date on how to shop, cook, and serve balanced, nutritious meals for optimal health and wellness.</div>
<div>Take a simple snack food like nuts. You've probably read that they are fatty, salty, and high in calories. And indeed, they are.</div>
<div>But studies have consistently linked nuts to a reduced risk of heart disease, largely because nuts have a favorable effect on blood cholesterol.</div>
<div>What about fruits and veggies? We've been told that raw is best. Cooking boils the nutrients out.</div>
<div>But cooking also makes some nutrients, such as lycopene, more available to the body. For example, cooked and processed tomatoes have 2 to 10 times more lycopene than fresh tomatoes. Moreover, cooking destroys potentially harmful bacteria.</div>
<div>Hardly a week passes without headlines announcing some new study or discovery in the field of nutrition.</div>
<div>It could be a cancer-fighting vegetable ... a diet that claims to lower cholesterol ... or a food -- like eggs -- previously considered harmful that turns out to be healthful ... or vice versa.</div>
<div>Fortunately, there's an authoritative, absolutely current resource you can turn to for evidence-based guidance on how to eat for optimal health. And you may preview it risk-FREE in the privacy of your home or office ...</div>
<h1>Available now...</h1>
<h1 style="text-align: center;"><img class="center" alt="Eating for Optimal Health" src="http://alerts.berkeleywellness.com/media/ui/WR_13_EfOH_CoverThumb.jpg"></h1>
<h1 style="text-align: center;"><strong>The 2013 Wellness Report:<br />Eating for Optimal Health</strong></h1>
<div>With thousands of books ... articles ... websites ... reports ... and clinical studies on eating for optimal health, no single person can keep up with all of the new developments in nutritional research. It would be a full-time job--and you probably already have one of those!</div>
<div>Also, unless you're an M.D. yourself, do you really have the background to separate the good science from the hype?</div>
<div>That's where the Wellness Report series from the University of California, Berkeley Wellness Letter can help save you time and money while improving your health.</div>
<div>Our editorial advisors, all M.D.s or Ph.D.s with impressive credentials in their specialties, conduct an exhaustive search of the medical literature on a particular topic -- in this case, eating for health and wellness.</div>
<div>They then review the research to ensure that it's based on scientifically sound methods ... and to confirm the accuracy and reliability of the findings.</div>
<div>Next, our editors painstakingly convert medical jargon, formulas, and statistics into clear, plain English. I know you'll find it fascinating reading -- and useful.</div>
<div>Here's a sampling of what you'll discover in our just published <strong>UC Berkeley Wellness Report: Eating for Optimal Health</strong>.</div>

<center>Stop eating "junk food" -- and start eating healthy!</center>
<div>The National Center for Health Statistics reports that 34 out of 100 American adults 20 years of age and older -- over 60 million people -- are obese. That means they are 30 or more pounds over a healthy body weight.</div>
<div>Ironically, while our stomachs are full -- even bulging -- our bodies are malnourished and starved for vital nutrients ... simply because we don't eat right.</div>
<div>But the good news is: you don't have to be fat ... or sick ... or unhealthy ... or malnourished any longer.</div>
<div>Because right now, the <strong>UC Berkeley Wellness Report: Eating for Optimal Health</strong> can help you make better, healthier eating choices--at the grocery store, in the kitchen, or when dining out.</div>

<h1 style="text-align: center;">The Truth About Salt and Your Health</h1>
<div style="text-align: center;"><strong>And Why Potassium May Be the Antidote</strong></div>
<ul>
<li>What Should You Believe About Salt? A low-salt diet benefits many people with hypertension. But cutting down on sodium is important even if you don't have high blood pressure.</li>
<li>
<strong>Salt Tips.</strong> Sodium lurks in unexpected places. Some fast food meals have three to five days' worth of sodium, in one sitting. What to watch out for.</li>
<li>
<strong>Sodium Substitutes.</strong> These are a good option for many people. They help reduce blood pressure and heart disease deaths when used in place of table salt. But they are not for everyone.</li>
<li>
<strong>Potassium Power.</strong> If sodium is a bad guy, then potassium is a good guy, since it helps lower blood pressure. Unfortunately, most of us consume far too little of this vital mineral. Here's why you should get your potassium from food, not supplements.</li>
<li>
<strong>Making It Add Up: A Sample Menu.</strong> How can you get up to the recommended 4,700 milligrams of potassium a day? A sample menu shows you how it can be done.</li>
</ul>
