Weight Loss, Nutrition, & Anti-Aging Expert, Dr. Jonny Bowden, Reveals Common Health Misconceptions

(I-Newswire) February 15, 2010 - There are many myths and misconceptions in the world of alternative health and nutrition. From which “super foods” are best for your brain, to sleep’s impact on your bodyweight, to free radicals impact on aging. Recently, diet, nutrition, and anti-aging expert, Dr. Jonny Bowden, sat down with BigThink.com to reveal some of the most common misconceptions today.

“I’m so excited about this interview … to join such a prestigious group of past Big Think alumni … ranging from Ted Kennedy to Dr. Mehmet Oz … quite frankly it’s quite humbling and I’ve very honored.” Bowden said.

He added, “But most importantly I’m thrilled to shed light on some major health, diet and nutrition misconceptions. So many consumers take action on information that is not entirely correct … information that will influence their lives … and the lives of their families. So it’s important to me to help get the word out as much as possible and help consumers make educated decisions.”

Dr. Bowden’s BigThink interview covers an array of critical health concerns such stress and aging, low carb diets, calorie restriction and longevity, sleep and weight gain, improving brain function and mental acuity, naturally boosting the immune system, the five most effective ways to decrease the chances of heart disease, and much more.

When asked what the biggest misconception is about aging, Bowen replied, “There are so many misconceptions about aging, it’s hard to pick one. But I’m a big fan of the work of Ellen Langler at Harvard. She’s a psychologist who has done some remarkable studies on how our mind influences how we age.”

Bowden concludes, “Nutrition, lifestyle, stress and other factors play a critical role in the quality of life we live and how long that life may last. Our bodies are like a car’s engine … it needs proper fuel and maintenance to help keep it functioning properly and offering many miles ahead. People need to be aware that what they do and how they eat will have an effect on their body … either positive or negative. I think people will find this interview fascinating.”
