New Zealand's Rxs For Better Health!

                                      Health Benefits From New Zealand! 

New Zealand seems to take a back seat to its more popular neighbor-Australia,
but things may change in due time. 
What type of change? With the exporting of two foods.
What two foods? Kiwi and Manuka Honey!

That's right-
Kiwi and honey can help boost health in a number of ways-first 
the kiwi.
If one alternative healer has his way, he says he wants the fuzzy fruit
to take center stage like the apple in the next decade, why?
It's a "powerhouse" of a food. Look below and learn why it should
replace the apple.
a) Blood Clots-
Plan on taking a long plane trip?
Kiwi has compounds that act like a plumber's snake able to clear
out sludge from arteries.
b) Cold Prevention-
A woman (a school teacher) looking for something to help prevent 
the number of colds she received each yr. was told to eat 2 kiwi a day.
She didn't get a cold that yr. and when she did- the duration of cold was
much shorter. A small Kiwi has higher levels of vitamin C, more so than an
orange.
c) Unclog Arteries-
As you read in the above statement about blood clots- Kiwi has also been 
recommended to unclog arteries. Arteries that have been ravaged by smoking,
poor diet and inactivity, don't stand a chance with Kiwi.
d) A Beauty Aid-
The schoolteacher mentioned earlier, had some unexpected side effects
after eating 2 kiwi a day, what were they?
The undereye circles she tried to hide with makeup disappeared and the
layers of makeup she caked onto her skin was no longer necessary.
Kiwi is especially beneficial for dry skin. Dry Winter skin.
That's it- and there's no need to travel to New Zealand to find good kiwi,
look for it at your supermarket or produce store. And for the daring types-
look for the new golden kiwi.

And now on to Manuka Honey, it too- comes from the land down under
(New Zealand) and it's one of the healthiest honeys around.
And with flu and cold season in full swing-it can help you quiet the coughing fits.
Dark honey's antioxidants and enzymes soothe irritated mucous membranes,
easing the inflammation that triggers the cough reflex.
It works better than cough medicine.

And lastly, do not give dark or lightly colored honey to kids under a yr. old
and be prepared to spend, Manuka honey is expensive.

That's it- 2 health tips from Australia's neighbor- New Zealand!

Good Luck!

Big Cities and Blood Pressure!

                               Living In A Big City! 

High blood pressure is always in the news. Is it caused by diet?
A lack of exercise? Is it Hereditary? A fondness for sweet drinks?
Or living in a big city?

A big city! Yes, according to new research, living in Paris,
London, Tokyo, New York or San Francisco can cause
a rise in blood pressure.
And no it's not the price of renting, the hustle or bustle,
the overcrowding,  Believe it or not-it's the noise.

The Noise?
That's right- researchers aren't sure why, but they
say being exposed to constant noise may cause an increase in your 

stress levels, which causes the increase in blood pressure. 

And one more thing, for those who think- "I work outside the
city, and only return to sleep."
Sorry- the doctors say even while sleeping you can expect an increase in
blood pressure.
So, what's the solution?
Have your blood pressure checked a few times a yr. and invest in some foam
earplugs.

That's it- And go on and continue to live in New York, Houston, London,
Sydney, Milan or Dublin.

Good Luck!

Poland's Rx For Weight Management!

                               Get Slim Like The People Of Poland! 

It's no surprise- the people of Poland are better at weight management
than Americans are, why is that? They eat more of their meals at home. 
That's right- whether they eat at home for budget reasons or they enjoy
cooking their own meals, researchers say that doing so is a great way to
maintain weight.
Poles eat out about 1 to 3 times per month, and Americans eat out about
7 to 10 times per month. And eating out 7 to 10 times per month, means
Americans are getting more calories, more sodium, more fat in their
meals and as a result- bigger waistlines.

So, if your pants are becoming tighter and the number on your scale
is going up, do like the people of Poland and eat out less often, and
control the ingredients that go into your cooking.

That's it- And for more tips on how the people of India, Gambia,
Spain and the Netherlands maintain their weight, go online to

Asia's Rx For A Bigger and Better Brain!

                                       More Brain Power! 

The Asians are known for a lot of things, one being
they're smarts or brain power.
Is it their diet? The strong family ties, the family involvement? 
The lack of television? Or is it the bike riding?
It may be all of the above or none of the above.

But researchers are looking at something that may be responsible
for their towering intellect, that something: Mushrooms.
More specifically- Mushroom extract known as Lion's mane!
Prized for its cognitive benefits, the mushroom extract contains
compounds that stimulate growth and regrowth of the myelin sheath,
the white matter around nerves in charge of processing information.
And if a more powerful brain doesn't appeal to you, researchers
are looking at Lion's mane as a potential cure for some of life's most
serious health problems. Problems like fibromyalgia and multiple sclerosis.

That's it- and if you're tempted by the things you've read, please
check with your doctor before adding any type of supplement to your diet.

Good Luck!

The Greek Rxs To Become Cancer Free!

                                    Less Cancer Thanks To The Greeks! 

The people of Greece and their Mediterranean diet have been in the 
news for the past decade. The diet is hailed as the diet most people
should follow to lose and maintain weight, prevent dementia,
sleep better, keep heart attacks and strokes at bay and stay
cancer-free.
Cancer-free? Yes, new research says that Greeks may have
one of the lowest overall cancer rates and it's due to their 
diet. More specifically- the fats in their diet.
That's right- While people in other countries get their fat
from omega-6 sources, the Greek people get their fat from
omega-3 sources.
Not sure which foods contain omega-3 fatty acids? Look below
for the list.
a) Oils-
Avoid the harmful omega-6 fatty acids, like peanut, corn or soybean
and use flaxseed, walnut, olive and avocado oils. 
These oils slow blood-clot formation and lower cholesterol levels. 
b) Eat More Fish-
The Greeks and the Japanese have other countries beat when it
comes to eating fish, and it's the reason why they enjoy such
robust health. To emulate the Greeks- eat sardines, salmon
and herring. And if price is an issue-canned fish is quite alright. 
Just make sure the fish is packed in water, canola or olive oil,
and not omega-6-heavy corn or soybean oil.
c) Buy The Right Beef-
Greeks do eat beef, it's a beef that's grass fed and not the beef that 
comes from cattle graze on grain or corn. Beef from grass-fed cattle
boasts 2 to 6 times more omega-3 fatty acids than beef from grain-fed
cattle. Make sure to read the labels when buying beef and it should say-
100% grass-fed or pasture-raised. And if it's out of your price range, 
eat more protein-rich eggs, look for those labeled Omega 3 enriched.
d) Eat The Right Snack-
It's not popcorn or pretzels, the Greeks have a few walnuts
with a little honey and yogurt as a snack or dessert.
Meet your requirements for omega-3's with a handful of walnuts a day.

That's it- 4 dietary tips to help you and your loved ones
stay cancer-free. And if you want more tips on how the
Greeks, Italians, Asians and French stay hale and hearty
well into their 80's and 90's, head to Amazon.com.

Healthy Rxs From Around The World!

                      Get Healthy Tips From Around The World! 

Ever wonder how the Japanese have such low levels of breast cancer?
How about the Israelis low rates of arthritis? Or how the English 
manage to have lower rates of diabetes? 
Well, continue reading and find out...

1) Japan- |
Breast cancer rates are much lower here and the credit goes 
to fish. Fish is a huge part of the Japanese diet and the omega-3 fatty
acids in fish is responsible. Another food Rx- green tea, it restricts
blood vessels that feed tumors.
2) Spain-
The people in Spain have fewer heart attacks, why? Wine.
Red wine to be exact, red and purple grapes contain flavenoids,
compounds that lower cholesterol. Lower cholesterol means lower
rates of heart disease.
3) Italy-
Italians have a number of things going for it-health-wise.
But one healthy thing many Italians do is nap. Napping
for 20 to 30 minutes a day, means less stress hormones,
stress hormones that can take yrs. off one's life.
4) England-
In England, the men and women walk more, especially in the
countrysides. And all of that walking means smaller waistlines
and lower rates of diabetes.
5) Ireland-
Although a lot of people don't of the Irish as a healthy bunch, they are.
The Irish are less depressed, why? Their strong family ties
and their faith. Visiting and keeping family together and going to religious
services, especially as a family, helps keep blue moods and depression at bay. 
6) Israel- 
Want to prevent aching joints? Move to Israel, why?
The credit goes to the soil. It's full of boron, and the more 
boron in your system helps the body balance it's levels of calcium, 
magnesium and phosphorous, all needed for good bone and joint health.
7) India-
Look at our past post on the subject of Alzheimer's.
Indians, especially those in the Northern part, have about
5% of it's people get this dreadful disease. How is this possible? 
The spice- Turmeric! Curcumin, a key component in this spice is
a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory that keeps harmful
plaque from settling in the brain region.

So, if you wanted to know how the people of other countries,
stay so hale and hearty, now you know.

And if you want more anti-aging secrets from Australia, the Himalayans,
Fiji, Jamaica, Tuscany, the Ojai desert or the Andes mountains-order
