English Pub's Rx To Fight Inflammation!

                             Have A Pint For Better Health!
English, Scottish and Irish pubs sometimes get a bad rap.
The bad rap: People drink to excess, they waste money,
don't spend time with their families and of course, the fights.
But wait- there's something positive that can happen after
visiting a pub.

The something positive:
Younger arteries and a reduction in inflammation.
That's right, a pint of ale or lager can actually do your
health some good.

How does beer help your arteries and fight inflammation?
a) Younger Arteries-
Lagers and Ales contain a host of compounds that
expel dangerous LDLs (bad cholesterol) from your
arteries.
b) Inflammation-
A beer a day lowers levels of homocysteines, inflammatory
amino acids that damage artery walls and impede circulation
by thickening the blood.
So, if you're from England, Scotland or Ireland, and you've
been getting grief for visiting the pub on a daily basis-
remember this post and say-"I'm drinking for better health."

Also important:
Make it one beer, one ale or one lager daily, any more and you
undo all the good benefits and no smoking.
Have your one drink and then socialize.
Socializing also has positive benefits on your health.

Good Luck!

The Italian Food Rx To Prevent Bone Loss!

                     Eat More Cheese For Stronger Bones!
Are you concerned about bone loss? We all should be concerned.
Bone loss and aging seem to go hand-in-hand.
Luckily, there's a food that may help us prevent it and it's
used in Italy in egg dishes, over stir-fried vegetables
and baked pasta dishes.
The Food:
Pecorino Romano Cheese!

Why pecorino?
Believe it or not, it's not the calcium, but a fatty acid. A fatty acid
better known as conjugated linoleic acid (CLA),  found mostly
in dairy products, that blocks the inflammation that can lead to bone
loss and osteoporosis.
And women from Italy, who use pecorino romano on a daily basis,
had greater bone mass and scored higher on density tests of the bones
in their hips, back, thighs and forearms, compared to women who avoid
or use less pecorino and other dairy products.

And even more good news about Pecorino:
The cheese is made from sheep's milk as opposed to cow's milk,
so those who may have trouble consuming cow's milk,  then you can
get your cheese fix and bone protection from Pecorino Romano cheese.
Look for Pecorino Romano at Italian shops, cheese shops
or your local supermarket.

Good Luck!

that are 300 times sweeter than sugar, but unlike sugar,
Stevia won't contribute to tooth decay and gum disease.

religious ties, work habits and allowing some Sun to touch their
skin for a few mins. each day.
And if that isn't enough, they also have some of the lowest levels
of breast cancer rates.

How is that possible?
Researchers think their diet, which is mainly a diet of fresh and lean
meats and fish, leafy green vegetables, fruits and the way they finish a meal.

somthered with ice cream (like it is here in the U.S.) but some yogurt, a little
dark honey and nuts.

and plant fats-that inhibit the growth of abnormal cells.

exercise and an oz. or two of walnuts a day and you too, may avoid
