Iceland's Food Rxs For All-Around Good Health!

                                      Get Healthy Like An Icelander! 
What comes to mind when you think of Iceland? Cold and dark days,
non-stop snow, the glaciers, hot springs, beautiful women, strong
and robust men, spectacular mountains, the waterfalls and the volcanoes.
It's all of that, plus much more. Continue reading and find out how the 3 food
secrets that help them remain some of the strongest, fittest and longest-lived
 people on Earth.

a) Their Yogurt-
It's not the stuff we get here in the U.S. In Iceland they eat a yogurt known as
Skyr, it's made with skim milk, has most of the water removed, is thicker and has
way more protein than the stuff that passes as yogurt here in the U.S.
Plus, it contains more probiotics-healthy bacteria that helps everything from
blue moods to bloat and hay fever. Where do you find this incredible food?
Head to Whole Foods or a large supermarket and look for Siggi's  or Skyr. 
One tip: it's tart, so add some nuts, fruit or dark honey to it.

b) Their Water-
Another food that beats the U.S. Their water comes from unpolluted glaciers
and not only does it taste great, it can help with everything from problem
skin to sleep disorders. Where do you find this magic elixir?
Look for the brand called Iceland Pure Spring Water- online at VitaminShoppe.com
or IcelandSpring.com or at Walgreens. Or look into buying a filter for your sink.

c) Grandma's Rx-
Who remembers Mom or Grandmom giving you a tsp. of Cod Liver
oil before leaving for school or just going out to play?
Well, it's not really practiced here in the U.S. anymore, and that's a shame.
In Iceland it's still practiced and it may be one of the reasons for their
robust health. Loaded with vitamins A and D, both of which help Icelanders
get through the dreary and dark days of the Winter months.
Find Icelandic cod liver oil at Amazon.com or online at ShopIcelandic.com. 

That's It- 3 food tips to help you live a long and productive life,
like your Nordic brothers and sisters from Iceland.

and violent crimes and the Hot springs Rx for relaxation.

Japanese Restaurant's Rx To End Brain Fog!

                                       Eat Some Sushi! 

Are you a fan of Japanese restaurants? Do you always order the sushi?
Well, believe it or not, that wrap which encloses the ingredients of
the sushi is good for your health. Your mental health.

What is the wrap?
It's called "Nori" and it's paper thin seaweed the chefs wraps around
sushi rolls.
And if you've been suffering from brain fog or cloudy thoughts,
perhaps more Nori will help.

Why? They contain high concentrations of omega-3s, healthy fats that
optimize nerve communication to improve mental speed and clarity.
Nori is also a rich source of vitamin B12, which is needed for cognitive function
and memory.

So, if you want to put an end to brain fog, use the seaweed wrap known as Nori.
Also helpful: watch the other foods you eat throughout the day, a steady diet 
of burgers, licorice, soda, cinabuns and french fries will not only keep
your arteries full of plaque, your waistline big and your brain addled,
and no amount of Nori will fix it.
Find Nori at the American discount store called-Trader Joe's!

And if you want more info on Nori- go to SupermarketRxs@typepad.com,
and read the post about using Nori-to help those who want to go Gluten-free.

Good Luck!

California's Wine Rx To Prevent Headaches!

                      Drink Wine To Improve Health!

You probably know about the benefits of a daily glass of wine...
Slimmer waistline
better sleep
more youthful arteries
decreased appetite
stronger heart
decreased chance of getting Alzheiemer's 

But, not everyone is on board and the cause may be
headaches. 
That's right- A number of people have discontinued their glass of wine
 a day, because they don't want the pain (head pain) that comes with it.

Well, if you recognize yourself and you want to go back to that daily glass,
there's some good news: Drink California wines.

California whites to be exact. Wine contains 3 natural compounds that can trigger
head pain: histamines, tyramines and tannins. Histamines dilate blood vessels, 
while tyramines dilate and then constrict blood vessels-this combo can be torturous
on one's head. And lastly, the tannins increase serotonin and sudden changes in the
"feel good" brain chemicals can also cause head pain. Red wine contains more of these
compounds than white- and Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc are usually the lowest. 
And for those of you out there asking-what about sulfites? They can trigger your
allergies to act up, but they don't cause headache pain. If you find yourself
with a stuffy nose, watering eyes constant sneezing-then yes, it's most likely an
allergy.                    

That's it- your guide to enjoying wine without the headaches.
To find wines that don't cause headaches, go to Google.com
and type wines that don't cause headaches in the subject line.
Good Luck!

Russia's Rx For Superior Health!

                      Eat The Russian Fruit For Better Health! 

When one thinks of the foods that are most popular in
Russia, what foods come to mind?
Caviar
Borsch
A salad of cucumber, tomatoes and dill.
Plov or Pilaf
And Watermelon.
Watermelon?
Yes, we were shocked as well, but apparently many Russians
enjoy the juicy Summertime treat even more than Americans
do. And if you, like the Russians- enjoy a slice or two of this delectable
fruit, look below and see how it (watermelon) can improve
your health.

The Watermelon Rxs:
a) Stronger Bones- The red interior of the fruit is called Lycopene,
a powerful antioxidant that builds and keeps bones strong.
b) Sun Protection- Tired of wasting money on sunscreen?
Watermelon, like other red fruits and veggies (tomatoes and red bell peppers) 
protect your skin against the Sun's harmful rays.
c) A Sleep Aid- Need a natural sleeping pill? Have a slice of watermelon 
about an hr. or two before bed.
d) A Sex Aid- Guys want to save money and possibly avoid the
side effects of Viagra and Cialis? Start eating up some watermelon.
It (watermelon) increases the body's production of arginine, an amino 
acid that boosts circulation, which improves arousal. And arginine also 
increases nitric oxide, which relaxes blood vessels, and
what Viagra does. And lastly, arginine can also improve heart health 
and lower blood pressure. 
e) Beautiful Skin- Drinking 6 to 10 glasses of water a day may not
be possible for most of us, and it can also be dangerous. But, eating more 
fruits and vegetables like watermelon and cucumbers that contain
ample amounts of water is possible. Not only will the water from the fruit
keep you hydrated, but it keeps your skin hydrated as well. 
And hydrated skin looks better and more youthful.

That's it- 5 tips from our friends in Russia, on the healthful benefits 
of eating and juicing more watermelon.
One more thing...Better hurry, watermelon will be out of season here in
the U.S. and that means higher prices.

Good Luck!

Switzerland's Rx To End Fall Allergies!

                                   A Mountaintop Rx To End Fall Allergies! 

Do you or a loved one suffer from Hay fever?
In less than 3 wks. the Fall season will be here and
that means hay fever for a lot of people.
If you would like something natural, won't cause side effects
and won't cost a cent.
The natural Rx: Take a trip to the Matterhorn.

A trip to the Matterhorn? Won't that cost money?
Not an actual trip, but a virtual one.
Swiss researchers had hay fever sufferers picture themselves
high atop the Matterhorn, and in a few weeks, a number of the people
saw their sneezing, congestion, itchy and watering eyes abate or even
disappear.

Why the Matterhorn?
Researchers say the cold environment is allergen-free and when the subjects
imagine themselves there, that gets the mind working to making them feel
as though they really are allergy-free.

So, if you or a loved one is tired of Fall and Spring allergies and you want
relief, go to Google.com, type images in the subject line, and then
type Matterhorn. When you see the beautiful and majestic Matterhorn
mountains-visualize the cold, the snow falling, the skiing, and you being
allergy-free. Do this exercise a few times a week, for a few minutes
each time. 

That's it- your tip for ending allergies naturally, just think-
by visualizing, you'll be able to avoid the over-the-counter meds
that may or may not work and you'll certainly save money.
And with all the money you save by not buying meds, you may
be able to really take a trip to Switzerland and see the Matterhorn
in person.

Good Luck!
