Zero-Radiation Imaging Technology
To continue with our series on prevention and anti-aging, we will address a special topic: a new zero-radiation imaging technology to visualize the whole body.
We want to review what is new in disease diagnostic and how this can help detect early-stage conditions that can easily be treated before they get worse or it is too late. New imaging tools are now emerging that can identify through noninvasive, no contrast added, state-of-the art MRI technology a clear vision of your full body. With no radiation involved you will get images from head to toes of all your organs.
Several companies are offering these Full Body Scans and Dr. Fradin-Read wants to share the experience that she and some patients had so far with various tests.

Anti-aging and prevention
Let’s now talk about nutrition and what food should we include in our diet to protect our health as we age.
Research has consistently shown that anti-aging foods, such as fruits, vegetables, legumes, whole grains, and lean proteins support brain, heart, muscle, and skin health. In contrast, sugary soft drinks, sweets, fast foods, and other ultra-processed, non-nutritional foods can negatively affect our health over time.

Spring: the time to focus on rejuvenating our body and enhancing the beauty of our skin
We had our New Year’s resolutions and were ready to work on losing weight, change our diet, exercise more, sleep earlier... How many of us have really been successful implementing these changes in the past three months?”
Over the years, Dr. Dominique Fradin-Read realized that her patients often did not really start working on these resolutions before Spring had started. The days were still short, and darkness was coming early, it was cold outside, nature was still in a kind of “hibernation state” ... all good reasons to say “I will start tomorrow”

How does food impact inflammation?
Inflammation is interpreted as our body’s natural response to a stimulus. It is the process by which our immune system protects itself from anything that it perceives as harmful to our body, this may be pathogens, external injuries, or effects of chemicals. Inflammation will be evident through the body’s physical reaction to a wound, injury, or allergy–when it hurts, swells, or turns red then it is a sign of inflammation. In other words, inflammation is simply a sign that the body is working against a harmful irritant.
