Eat To Think: The Power of Nutrient-Dense Foods for Enhanced Cognitive Function!

YourUpdateTV

No one wants to slip into their later years with a failing memory or inability to think clearly and make decisions. Recently Peter Castleman, Author of “Eat to Think: Big Pharma Wants You to Take Pills Forever. We Don't.”, conducted a satellite media tour to share tips and advice on how to use nutritious food to help support your brain health and cognitive function. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/-jYERLSPs80 If you’re over 50, you’re most likely a part of the growing number of people who fear a gradual loss of brain function, otherwise known as cognitive decline or dementia. It’s normal to worry. But there is good news. Cognitive decline is mostly the result of lifestyle choices, not genetics. It is simply a story of “too little/too much “- too little of the nutrients your brain needs daily to maintain health and too much of the foods, drugs, and poor lifestyle choices that damage the brain. Nutrient Survival, the pioneering force in Special Ops Grade nutritional innovation, announces the launch of the book “ Eat to Think,” co-authored by Peter M. Castleman and B. Eric Christianson and available now on Amazon. The book explores the beauty of the brain and how it is designed to regenerate forever while empowering readers with Six Pillars of Brilliance to strengthen brain health and longevity. Both Christianson, CEO of Nutrient Survival, and Castleman, Chairman of Nutrient Institute, a non-profit dedicated to improving human nutrition, were spurred to write “Eat to Think” after researching the damage to human health created by common nutritional habits and an over dependence on “Big Pharma” to address health symptoms versus root issues. “In today’s society we have come to accept the inevitable degeneration of our brains and mental function, which does not need to be our fate,” insists Castleman. “Declining mental faculties with age is typically a product of ‘neuroinflammation,’ a process that gradually damages brain cells but can be reversed with proper nutrition. We have the power to regenerate our brain cells within literal reach of our pantries and refrigerators.” Much of the nutritional science and functional ingredients discussed in “Eat to Think'' are incorporated into Nutrient Survival’s newest BrainCare® product launch, the Brain Omega 3 Bar®. An all-natural solution to support brain performance, each Brain Omega 3 Bar® features a patent-pending combination of 1,948mg of Omega 3s, 40 essential nutrients including 27 vitamins and minerals, naturally occurring flavonoids and 8g of protein, all offering better bioavailability of ingredients to nourish both your brain and body. Brain Omega 3 Bar - Fig & Dark Chocolate contains sweet ripe figs, rich dark chocolate, and tart cranberry pieces. Brain Omega 3 Bar - Fig & Roasted Peanut offers ground peanut with sweet ripe figs, semi-sweet chocolate, and creamy peanut morsels. Both flavors are blended with rolled oats, organic rice crisps, milled flax and hemp seeds and feature the following: ● 1,948 mg of Omega 3 (EPA 430 mg + DHA 323 mg + ALA 1,160mg + SDA 35mg) ● 40 essential nutrients ● 27 vitamins and minerals ● 8g of protein including 1.5g of collagen ● Natural flavonoids from semi-sweet chocolate, figs and peanuts ● No artificial colors, flavors or preservatives ● Gluten free The Brain Omega 3 Bar® is available for $2.75 a bar in bags of 15 at nutrientsurvival.com. For more info on the book visit eattothink.com - About Nutrient Survival Nutrient Survival LLC is an end-to-end food technology company offering nutrient dense survival food for emergencies and every day. Nutrient Survival has experienced explosive growth since its introduction in 2020, behind its patented nutrient dense products and compelling brand proposition.

Meals meet or exceed standards for 23 nutrients on a per calorie basis. Neither the US Armed Forces nor the US Federal Government has approved, endorsed or authorized this product. The opinions expressed are solely those of the individual's. About the Authors Peter M. Castleman. Chairman of Nutrient Survival; Chairman of WISEcode; Chairman of Nutrient Institute. A lifetime entrepreneur who for the past decade has been dedicated to improving human nutrition and information about what is in our foods. Castleman graduated from Duke University at the top of his class in Economics, became a Professor at Harvard, then worked on Wall Street. Castleman bought North Face outerwear company when it was going bankrupt and turned it into a 3 billion per year company and then sold it. He did the same with Igloo, Herbalife, and many others. Castleman aims to empower consumers to manage wellness, instead of being controlled by Big Food, Big Ag, and Big Pharma. With good information, Castleman believes humans can make informed decisions with their lifestyle choices. B. Eric Christianson. CEO of Nutrient Survival; Army Veteran; Airborne Ranger qualified; West Point Distinguished Cadet graduate.

LIVE WORLD-WIDE TELETHON TO HELP FIGHT HOMELESSNESS AND BENEFIT THE LAS VEGAS RECUE MISSION DEBUTS LEADING UP TO THE BIG GAME

YourUpdateTV

Las Vegas Rescue Mission announced today that they will play host to the 1st Annual Alvin James, Approaching Life Under the Bridge Telethon on Wednesday, February 7th, 2024, from The Chapel, at their Las Vegas Rescue Mission location. This groundbreaking special event will be hosted by actor, musician, and former NFL player Julian Horton, and is sponsored by Door2Door Anywhere.com. All proceeds from the on-line telethon will go directly to the Las Vegas Rescue Mission as they have been recognized for the impactful work they are doing in the Las Vegas area. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://vimeo.com/910236902/36f170d396?share=copy The Alvin James, Approaching Life Under the Bridge Telethon is the brainchild of musician / songwriter and Executive Producer McKinley Horton who wanted to take his passion for fighting homelessness in the US to the next level and at the same time, honor one of his mentors, the late Alvin James. “Alvin James inspired me to look deeply into myself and my desire to help those in need it in any way I could, and with his recent passing last fall, I decided that the time was right “says Horton. The concept Mr. Horton came up with was to create a meaningful live event that not only includes an array of entertainers, but to also focus on the great work local non-profits are doing and try to shed light on their great work, the staff and volunteers that they have, and help them raise funds to benefit their programs and increase the impact they have on those who rely on them and the services they provide. “We all know how hard it is for local non-profits that deal with the homeless and other members of the underserved communities nation-wide face when it comes to financial support, so we decided to make sure 100 percent of all proceeds go directly to the local non-profit so that they can do what they do best which is help the people who need it.” Horton added. The result of that thinking was to honor the non-profit that is selected by The Alvin James, Approaching Life Under the Bridge selection committee, to coincide with a time of year where everyone is focused on an annual event and there is no event bigger than the annual big game. “As a sports fan and the father of a former NFL player, the committee and I came up with the idea of doing our telethon during the week before the big game in the city that the big game takes place” said Horton whose son, actor, musician and former NFLer, Julian Horton, will be one of the telethons host “so its so great to be partnering with the Las Vegas Rescue Mission, who the committee felt deserved the spotlight, for the amazing work we got to see first hand when we visited them “ Las Vegas Rescue Mission CEO, Heather Engle is super supportive of the goals of the Alvin James, Approaching Life Under the Bridge Telethon and with the Las Vegas Rescue Mission (LVRM ) as its partner, in what will now be an annual event with the 2nd Annual Telethon taking place in New Orleans site of the next Big Game, Engle and the staff at LVRM have also played a big role in getting the event off the ground. “Anytime we can get to share our mission statement with a wide audience we are always thankful and willing to help. This event will not only help people here in Las Vegas, but we hope to shed a brighter light on what we all know is as a major problem world-wide.We serve over 1,000 meals a day and have programs that not only deal with homelessness, but other important issues like addiction and mental health so we are very happy to be a part of this amazing event “ Engle noted Door2Door Anywhere.com, one of the world’s leading transportation companies, led by CEO Rattan Joea, is the sole sponsor of this years event and as Joea explains, the brand couldn’t be happier to be involved with the Alvin James, Approaching Life Under the Bridge Telethon for more than just brand exposure “For me and Door2Door Anywhere.com this isn’t about brand exposure, it’s about helping people, which has always been a part of my personal brand as well as our DOOR2Door Anywhere identity. We transport people all over the world and have a real worldview of the issues humanity is facing so to be able to play a role in helping the homeless and other underserved members of communities everywhere is vital to me..Our sponsorship of this 1st annual event is just the beginning of what we think will be a huge event going forward that will help people so we are all in and will be with the Telethon in Vegas this year, and then on to New Orleans next year, “ said Joea Host Julian Horton, (whose acting credits include a featured role in the hit film, National Champions, along with TV credits on Tyler Perry’s “Bruh”, Tough Love Atlanta, and others) didn’t need to be recruited by his father, his desire and passion to help change the lives of those less fortunate started at an early age. “ My passion has always been about helping those less fortunate than me …I was lucky, I’ve he had support throughout my life and I know how important it is to have that and when I see all the hurt, harm and pain going down on the streets these days as well as the struggle those without homes, support, and love face every minute of their lives…I just cant sit back and act like it isn’t there so I’m asking EVERYONE out there to tune in” For more information about the live stream and to donate go to www.vegasrescue.org and click on the events tab for THE ALVIN JAMES, APPROACHING LIFE UNDER THE BRIDGE TELETHON About the Las Vegas Rescue Mission: The Las Vegas Rescue Mission (LVRM) was founded in 1970 by a pastor and six businessmen who had calling to help those who were homeless and hungry.

News Release

Investors Scoop Up Millions of $GFOX Tokens Just Before Stage Closes

RoundHouse Media

The feeling that Galaxy Fox will exceed many top altcoins this year has been pervasive, given that it has already broken several milestones in its ongoing presale. For this reason, investors are buying up millions of $GFOX tokens to seal their positions when it launches on the retail market. $GFOX: Most-Wanted Coin of the Year Many cryptocurrency presales have launched lately, but Galaxy Fox tops them in convincing investors with its unique features and potential for excelling in the industry. While many view it as an ordinary meme, Galaxy Fox has shown it is more than that by breaking presale records, so far raising an impressive $3 million within a few months of its ongoing presale stages. $GFOX has pressed on to stand out as one of the best play-to-earn (P2E) tokens. In the P2E gameplay of its ecosystem, you’ll find a fantastic runner game, which earns you a $GFOX token by maintaining top performance. The most exciting part of the games is that you can increase your winning advantage simply by buying Galaxy Fox NFTs. These NFTs have varying attributes like increase, speed, agility, power, and weaknesses to make the competition more interesting. Galaxy Fox is also a key player when it comes to staking, where it grants investors the opportunity for earning income passively. When investors stake their $GFOX tokens, they get a share of rewards from the platform's reward pool called Galaxy Fox Stargate. The funds in Galaxy Fox Stargate will not run out because the platform replenishes it with 2% of every transaction that occurred within the ecosystem. Galaxy Fox also implements a token burn feature, allowing the permanent elimination of the $GFOX token and decreasing its circulation. This feature aims to create scarcity of the $GFOX tokens, which currently have a limited supply of 5 billion tokens, so they can skyrocket in value as quickly as possible. Galaxy Fox has a smartly designed presale structure, which enabled the platform to gain increasing attention recently. The presale has ten different stages and from the first to the last stage, the price of $GFOX is bound to rise. Galaxy Fox has completed six stages, and the 7th stage is currently ongoing with more than 95% of the tokens allocated for the stage sold already. Investors who had bought $GFOX at the start of its presales would have gained around 230% on their investment and this ROI is expected to increase by almost 10% again by the time the presale stage 8 starts in the next couple of days. More interestingly, with three more stages left to the end of the presale, investors who invested from stage one will realize a significant ROI totaling about 450%. Conclusion On a final note, the swift and successful presale journey of $GFOX, coupled with its enticing innovative features and multiple use cases has been a key factor in enticing big investors into the Galaxy Fox's ecosystem. Judging from its impressive success so far, it's not surprising that $GFOX has been tipped to be one the best tokens to buy this year. Looking for a token that can give you maximum returns this year?
