Creatine: Powering Performance, Muscle, and Brain Health

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/4_jLc8y0apE

I am sharing a video exploring creatine, a highly researched and effective supplement. Renowned for its ability to preserve and build muscle mass, creatine also shows promising benefits for brain health, including improved oxygen transport and enhanced cognitive function.

https://shop.dinakhader.com/product-p/khg0910.htm

Creatine is naturally synthesized in the body and plays a vital role in regenerating ATP, the cell’s primary energy source, making it essential for high-intensity, short-duration activities. By increasing phosphocreatine stores in muscles, creatine enhances energy availability, delays fatigue, and boosts training performance.

Beyond athletic performance, creatine promotes cellular hydration by drawing water into muscle cells, increasing cell volume and stimulating pathways critical for muscle growth and protein synthesis. It is particularly beneficial for vegetarians and older adults, who usually have lower creatine levels due to dietary restrictions.

Whether your goal is to increase strength, aid recovery, or support long-term brain and muscle health, creatine is a safe and reliable choice. Try mixing 1 to 1.5 scoops into your morning smoothie, in your food or in a glass of water for an easy daily boost.

For questions, concerns, or to schedule a consultation, contact The Khader Center at (914) 242-0124.

Why Do We Crave Fats?

Despite recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for low-fat diets, experts emphasize that fat is essential, with no more than 30 percent of daily calories from fat advised. Fat supports hormone production, blood sugar regulation, brain function, skin health, and absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K). It also enhances meal satisfaction by regulating hunger and adding flavor.

Signs of insufficient fat intake include persistent hunger, dry skin, fatigue, brain fog, digestive issues, and frequent illness due to poor nutrient absorption and inflammation.

How do you know your body is craving fats?

1) You are hungry soon after eating. Fat plays a role in slowing stomach emptying. When you include fat, food remains in your stomach longer. “Without it, blood sugar spikes and crashes more quickly, leaving you hungrier sooner,” explains Scott Keatley, registered dietitian. This can manifest as feeling hungry shortly after meals or constantly craving food. The fat in your meal provides a lasting feeling of satisfaction.

2) Your skin is dry and flaky. Certain fats, including omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, help maintain your skin’s healthy barrier and lock in moisture. Insufficient fats may cause dry, irritated skin.

3) You are tired often. A low-fat diet often leads to higher carbohydrate intake. “This causes a rapid rise in blood sugar, followed by a drop, which is associated with reduced energy,” says Sonya Angelone, registered dietitian.

4) You experience brain fog. “Fat is very important for brain function,” says Jessica Cording, registered dietitian. Without sufficient fat, your brain lacks power. An insufficiency in fat is often replaced with sugar, which impairs clear thinking. The impact on blood sugar also indirectly affects brain health.

5) You have digestive issues. Fat stimulates bile production and the release of pancreatic enzymes, both essential for digesting food and absorbing nutrients. A lack of fat can lead to bloating and constipation. A balanced intake of fats is vital for digestive regularity.

6) You are sick frequently. Your immune system relies on the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins A and D. “If you are not absorbing these properly due to low fat intake, your immune system operates at reduced capacity,” Keatley explains. Omega-3 fatty acids (found mostly in fish), considered healthy fats, also help lower inflammation in the body. Chronic inflammation from insufficient good fats is linked to serious health conditions, including cardiovascular disorders and autoimmune diseases.

At The Khader Center (https://shop.dinakhader.com/), Dina champions healthy fats to transform your wellness journey. Incorporate nutrient-rich foods like avocados, olives packed in water (glass jars), Brazil nuts, raw sunflower seeds, and raw pumpkin seeds (in moderation) into your diet. Use organic raw coconut oil for cooking to leverage its medium-chain triglycerides, which support metabolism and heart health. Avocados shine in salads, enhancing flavor and nutrient absorption. Good fats stabilize blood sugar, reduce inflammation, and promote satiety, aiding weight management. They are vital for hormone production, brain clarity, and glowing skin. Omega-3s from fatty fish boost immunity and combat chronic inflammation, lowering risks of heart disease.

Dina can guide you to balance fats for optimal health. Schedule a consultation today to embrace good fats and thrive! Call The Khader Center at
(914) 242-0124 to schedule a consultation. We are here to support your wellness—every season of the year.

08/19/2025

Raw, organic coconut meat is a good source of healthy fats, fiber and essential minerals, like iron and manganese. The fiber, nutrients and fats make it a good addition to snacks, smoothies, and meals. My Coconut Oil (https://shop.dinakhader.com/product-p/khg1337.htm) is organic, virgin, cold pressed, unrefined, non-GMO, and naturally trans fat free.

Check out these other healthy benefits of coconut:

1) Coconut meat is rich in medium-chain triglycerides, a type of fat that is quickly converted into energy, making it an excellent addition to trail mixes and hiking snacks.

2) Half a cup of organic, shredded, unsweetened coconut has almost the full daily requirements of manganese, a bone-building mineral also attributed to brain health and nervous system support.

3) The fiber in coconut slows digestion preventing spikes or dips in blood sugar. Additionally, this helps with nutrient breakdown and absorption while helping with bowel regularity.

4) Coconut meat is high in antioxidants which fight cell damage, prevent free radicals, reduce inflammation, and support a healthy heart.

5) Coconut is packed with important nutrients such as potassium, phosphorous, magnesium, folate, and calcium!

6) The versatility of coconut cannot be understated. Every part of the coconut available for use: Coconut flour for baking, coconut milk for healthy dairy-free alternative, unsweetened coconut water as a healthier electrolyte source, coconut sugar as a low-glycemic alternative, and coconut oil for cooking as well as topical moisturizer with antimicrobial benefits.

Protecting Yourself From Wildfire Smoke

The Risks of Wildfire Smoke

Wildfire smoke is approximately 10 times more toxic than typical air pollution from fossil fuels, with no safe exposure level. Higher exposure worsens various health outcomes. The main pollutant is particulate matter —tiny solids and liquids including aldehydes, acid gases, benzene, dioxins, ethylene glycol, formaldehyde, heavy metals, methylene chloride, nitrogen oxides, petroleum hydrocarbons, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), styrene, sulfur dioxide, tetrachloroethylene, toluene, and xylene.

Potential Health Effects

Exposure can lead to:

-Irritation of eyes, nose, and throat
-Headaches, dizziness, loss of coordination, nausea, and vomiting
-Worsening of asthma or increased risk of developing asthma, COPD, and other respiratory illnesses
-Difficulty breathing and fatigue
-Elevated cancer risk
-Damage to liver, kidneys, and central nervous system
-Higher susceptibility to infections, especially respiratory ones
-Risks during pregnancy, such as premature birth and low birth weight
-Increased chance of neurodegenerative diseases like dementia and Alzheimer's
-Reduced respiratory, cardiovascular, and neurological function in adults and children
-Suppressed immune function

Strategies to Minimize Harm

To support your immune system, lungs, and detoxification processes with antioxidants and nutrients:

Recommended Supplements (in capsule form or from food sources):
-Methylated B vitamins (e.g., Complete B, including folic acid, B6, B12): Reduce inflammation from smoke inhalation.
-Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA): Stabilize heart rate and protect against smoke effects.
-Vitamin C (plant-based, non-synthetic) + Deltanol: Decrease airway irritation and improve airflow.
-NAC (N-acetyl cysteine): Reduces lung inflammation, boosts pulmonary defenses, and aids respiratory repair.
-Detox binders (e.g., Medi-Clay FX): Trap and eliminate toxins in the digestive tract.
-Glutathione: Speeds detoxification and controls lung inflammation.
-EGCG extract from green tea: Reduces lung inflammation; matcha has 3x more EGCG than sencha green tea.

*We sell a lot of the above items at our store. Shop online at
https://shop.dinakhader.com/

Dietary Tips:

Consume a variety of fresh, raw, and organically grown fruits and vegetables for their antioxidant benefits. Include healthy starches like steel-cut oatmeal, boiled purple potatoes for fiber to help eliminate absorbed toxins. For high-fiber bread, try Manna Organics Sprouted Rye or Sourdough Bavarian Rye.

If you have any questions on where to purchase the above recommended supplements and/or the food items, please call The Khader Center at

07/21/2025

As a nutritionist focused on promoting gut-friendly and sustainable foods, I was thrilled to attend the 2025 Summer Fancy Food Show at New York City's Javits Center at the end of June. This event provided an ideal opportunity to scout innovative, healthier options that align with my mission to offer clean, high-quality products to clients who visit for guidance on health conditions. Among the highlights, I discovered a remarkable coconut milk free of xanthan gum, a true gem, as xanthan can often irritate the gut and cause digestive discomfort for many. This pure, additive-free version stood out for its creamy texture and natural flavor, making it a perfect addition to smoothies or dairy alternatives without compromising health.

For meat enthusiasts, the show presented Welsh lamb that easily surpasses American and New Zealand varieties in both taste and leanness. Completely grass-fed and grass-finished, it offers a richer, more nuanced flavor profile with lower fat content, thanks to the pristine Welsh pastures. Sampling it reinforced my belief in sourcing ethical, nutrient-dense proteins that support overall wellness. Inspired by these finds and others, I plan to introduce several of these healthier plant-based foods like the organic matcha and clean coconut milk at my Nutrition Center. The event itself was a resounding success, buzzing with energy and drawing food professionals from around the globe. With a 14% increase in attendee registration over the previous year, over 32,000 visitors explored offerings from nearly 2,500 exhibitors representing 59 countries.

I could only cover about a third of the exhibits, but what I saw was incredibly informative and inspiring, with a strong emphasis on premium ingredients that elevate everyday eating. The variety of new food products was impressive, ranging from artisanal cheeses and gourmet snacks to innovative plant-based alternatives. Exhibitors presented high-quality foods that not only tasted exceptional but also prioritized health and environmental impact. One standout was the exquisite organic matcha from a Japanese vendor. Its smooth, vibrant essence with subtle umami notes was unparalleled, leaving a lasting impression. The international pavilion was particularly captivating, boasting higher-quality and better-tasting foods than many domestic sections. Pavilions from Greece, Italy, India, Turkey, and Brazil featured authentic gems like herb-infused olive oils, exotic spice blends, and delicate confections that sparked ideas for new recipes and product lines. Interactions with passionate producers revealed insights into supply chains, sourcing ethics, and emerging trends like regenerative agriculture.

Please lookout for new, healthy food items at The Khader Center. If you have any questions, please call The Khader Center at (914) 242-0124.

07/14/2025

In July 2025, microplastics—tiny plastic particles under 5mm—pervade our planet, contaminating oceans, air, soil, and food chains with billions of tons of persistent waste. These pollutants, stemming from degraded plastics, infiltrate drinking water, seafood, indoor dust, and even human tissues, posing a severe environmental and health challenge. As a nutrition center, we are deeply concerned about their infiltration into our diets and bodies.

Microplastics disrupt health in multiple ways: they release toxic chemicals and cause physical damage, leading to oxidative stress, inflammation, DNA damage, and endocrine disruption. Emerging studies link them to chronic conditions like cancer, heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, stroke, Parkinson's, dementia, respiratory disorders, inflammatory bowel disease, obesity, autism, reproductive issues, and preterm births. Children and vulnerable populations face amplified risks, including neurodevelopmental harm and increased pathogen spread. To minimize harmful effects on your health, take proactive steps: install a reverse osmosis or HEPA water filter to remove up to 99% of microplastics from tap water, and ditch bottled varieties. Avoid heating food in plastic containers—switch to glass, ceramic, or stainless steel. Reduce your intake of processed foods, canned items, red meat, and high-risk seafood; opt for fresh, organic ingredients that are cooked from scratch. Use HEPA vacuums and mop frequently to curb airborne dust particles, and choose natural fiber clothing and bedding to limit synthetic shedding.

To minimize your exposure, I suggest storing food in glass containers instead of plastic ones. Wash synthetic garments less often and air dry them. Embrace reusables, use a stainless steel container for your Vitamix instead of plastic. Use a dishwashing brush made of bamboo instead of plastic, and support plastic-free products while advocating for stricter regulations and better waste management. Also, use bamboo toothbrushes instead of plastic ones.

By adopting these habits, we can combat this pervasive "curse" and safeguard our nutrition and well-being.

05/30/2025

With warm weather comes unwanted pests like mosquitoes, ticks, ants, and hornets. These biting insects can be more than just a nuisance—they may pose health risks and disrupt outdoor fun. Here are key tips to prevent and treat bug bites effectively.

PREVENTION:

1) Use Bug X Tick & Mosquito Repellent for protection - https://shop.dinakhader.com/product-p/9306.htm

2) Extra guard against ticks may be necessary for longer outdoor activities. Try Nantucket Spider's Extra Strength Tick Repellent Spray or look at adding Oregano Oil (https://shop.dinakhader.com/product-p/1241500.htm) or Lemon Eucalyptus essential oil to your prevention kit. They are excellent plant-based alternatives to DEET.

3) Wear lightweight, long-sleeve cotton or linen shirts to guard against bites while also staying cool.

4) Brush or wipe mosquitoes off instead of slapping them to avoid drawing blood to the skin’s surface, which can attract more pests.

5) Plant natural repellents like lavender, lemongrass, basil, sage, mint, marigolds, catnip, citronella, bee balm, or floss flower in outdoor planters.

TREATMENT:

1) Medi-Body Pack & Vitamin C Blend (https://shop.dinakhader.com/product-p/khg2300.htm) : Mix 1 capsule of Vitamin C Blend with 1/4 - 1/2 tsp Medi-Body Pack and a small amount of purified water to form a thick paste. Apply to the bite and let it sit for 10–15 minutes, then rinse gently without scrubbing and pat dry. Supports detoxification and provides antioxidant/histamine relief.

2) QC Oil Blend (https://shop.dinakhader.com/product-p/1536.htm) : After rinsing off the paste, apply 1–2 drops to soothe and calm the treatment site.

For the best results, Dina recommends treating the bug bite as soon after the bite as possible.

Hoping all of you are having a great start to Summer,
