Italy's Rx To Help The Olympics!

                               The Italian Rx To Help Brazilians! 

You may have heard that the Summer Olympics are about to start. 
You also may have heard about something called the "Zika Virus." 
What is it, you ask?
A virus that is transmitted by mosquitoes.
A mosquito bites someone with the virus and then passes it on to
someone else.
Believe it or not, the Zika virus has been around for 60 yrs.
and it was found mostly in African countries, and today- 2016, it
can be found in Brazil and the U.S.

The Brazilian government is combating the virus with repellents,
lots of repellents.
But wait, shouldn't we (the people) ask some questions
about the those repellents?
What type of questions?
What's in those repellents? 
Will the repellents (bug sprays) cause harmful effects to one's health later
on in life?
Is there something that can repel the mosquitoes that's much safer?
If these are questions you also want answered, then you may want to look
to Italy for the answer.

Italy?
Yes, but not just Italy, but all countries that use garlic.
Garlic? 
Yes, whenever one thinks of Garlic, Italy always come to mind
and thanks to some gardeners who were looking for alternatives 
to harmful bug sprays, they discovered the Garlic cure...
Simply put- just mix 2 Tbs. of garlic powder with 2 cups of water
and spray the outdoor area where you and your family eat, chat
and socialize. 

Another tip:
If you plan on being outdoors at night and use lights, spray the lights.
Mosquitoes are attracted to lights, and when the bulb heats up, 
the garlic scent from the bulbs will drive the blood-sucking pests
in the opposite direction. 

That's it- a simple, no-toxic and inexpensive tip to keep
everyone "Zika-Free!"

Good Luck!

The Greek Food Rx For a Healthier Heart!

                          Eat Your Way To a Healthier Heart! 

If you're into healthy eating, then you're well aware of the diet that's
practiced by many people of Greek, French, Italian and Spanish descent,
the diet: The Mediterranean diet. 

You know, a diet of fish, healthy oils, greens, some fruits,
whole grains, nuts, seeds, coffee and wine.
Researchers say follow this diet and you'll avoid many of the diseases
and illnesses plaguing those who eat the complete opposite,
endless meals that contain  tran-fats, brightly colored food dyes,  high-fructose
corn syrup and inflammation-causing grains.
The researchers also say if you want to avoid heart disease it's best to combine foods. 
Combine foods?
Yes, as in fish with wine and garlic with red peppers. 

Why these combos?
Fish like sardines, salmon, and trout protect your heart by lowering
triglycerides,  blood pressure and arterial damage and when you
add a glass (or 2) of wine, you'll absorb more of the heart-protecting fats
from the fish.
As for the garlic and red pepper- garlic lowers blood pressure numbers by
triggering the production of a compound that relaxes blood vessels and
adding some red pepper, which is loaded with Vit. C, means the garlic
will work more effectively lowering your blood pressure and a lower blood pressure
translates into a healthier heart.

So, if you're already combining some wine with fish and garlic with red peppers,
continue to do so, but if you're not doing it, it's time to start, not only
will your heart thank you, but so will your waistline.

And one more helpful tip--if you want to learn more about the food
combos that'll help you build strong bones or strong vision, head on over
to Amazon.com/the kindle store and type Food Combos for Superior Health 
in the search bar. Download it for the paltry sum of $1.99, and really
boost your odds for incredible health and  super longevity.

Good Luck!

Japanese Secrets To Banish Bad Moods and Mild Depression!

                                       Massage Your Way To a Better Mood! 

It's no secret- the pharmaceutical companies are making billions
off of those who are experiencing blue moods, anxiety, anti-social 
behaviors and depression and if you're one of those people who 
are paying the pharmaceutical companies you may want to try
something different. 
What type of different are you speaking about?
How about massage. 

No, not the type of massage you're thinking of, no- this
type of massage is done to one's hands, not your  back, shoulders,
feet or scalp.

That's right- your hands.
Massaging one's hands, feet and face has been done for centuries 
by Asians and Indians, but the type of massage featured today
was discovered by a Japanese woman in the 50's, the 1950's. 
The massage practice is called- "Jin Shin Jyutsu"
and all that's required is that you or another person massage the fingers
and in between the fingers. 

Hold on- isn't that reflexology or acupressure- you ask?
No- we mean a more physical type of massage, think of Swedish massage
for your fingers.
As in manhandling the fingers, you know- pulling on the thumbs, the ring, middle 
and forefingers, twisting them, deeply massaging them and pulling them.
You should do this  whenever tensions or moods get out of hand,
or whenever you have some free time, sitting in traffic or when 
you're watching your favorite T.V. show. 

That's it for today, and if bad moods and anxiety levels are getting the best of
you, you also may want to look into other alternative methods to help alleviate
some of the symptoms, you know-things like exercising, (preferably outdoors)
as in a brisk walk, (walking in a circle for 20 mins, lowers stress and anxiety levels)
eating a better diet, especially more fatty fish, (which is called nature's best diet pill)
volunteering, (take the focus off of you and give it to a vet, an elderly person,
abandoned pets or a troubled kid)
Or try the thousand yr. old remedy used by Tibetans and Indians- meditation or yoga.
And if you need any more info on this unusual method of healing, 
head to Google.com and type Jin Shin Jyutsu into the search bar,
you may be able to find some tutorial videos there.

Good Luck!

                                    An Appetizer For Breakfast! 

We won't bore you with any more news about the importance of eating
a good breakfast, (more energy, fewer cravings later in the day,
it boosts metabolism, less risk of getting diabetes) 

No, we're just here to tell you if coffee and donuts or pop tarts
and milk or even a green smoothie is your preferred breakfast,

and sisters and have an appetizer. 

An appetizer?
Yes, the recipe is for  Bruscheta (the Italian influence
and it uses a Baguette- the French influence).

oregano, basil or parsley (or use all three) and a little olive oil. 
Just saute until the tomatoes are soft. Slice a whole grain baguette down the 
middle and add some cream cheese (low-fat or regular)
and then add the tomatoes on top.
