The Nordic Rx For Fewer Aches and Pains!

                           Get To The Root Of The Problem! 

We may have mentioned once or twice that the women of the Scandinavian
countries are now second to Japanese women in terms of longevity.
The women do a number of things to achieve such longevity, things like...
drink coffee, (Finnish women) eat appetite-taming bread, (Danish women) 
eat Skyr, a low-fat yogurt, (Icelandic women) and eat plenty of root vegetables, 
(all Scandinavian women) and if you're starting to feel the effects of aches
and pains, then you should do the same.

Why root vegetables?
Root vegetables like beets, carrots, parsnips and turnips are rich in potassium,
zinc and other minerals, and they help quash pain-triggering inflammation.
Eat some of these foods daily and lower your risk of aches and pains by 30%.

That's it- and 2 more things, make sure to prepare the root vegetables in
the healthiest ways possible, and eat them with other foods that also
reduce inflammation. No fattening burger and bun with some roasted carrots
or turnips.
And recent research says that women who eat the most root vegetables can expect
an extra 5 to 8 yrs. of life.
As for men who eat root vegetables, sorry no longevity benefits for you.

And lastly, if you want more great tips on how the women (and men)
of Iceland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland live such long and healthy
lives--head to Amazon.com/the kindle store and type The Nordic Secrets For
Longevity and Health in the search bar.
Download it and get a few extra years out of life like the Scandinavians.

Good Luck!

The European Rx For Fewer Hip Fractures!

                          Drink This (not that) For Stronger Bones! 

As one ages many health concerns come to mind, concerns like...memory loss,
cancer, heart disease and bone loss.
Also known as osteoporosis.
That's right, hip fractures, falls and just plain bone loss is a concern for many
and if this is a concern of yours, do what millions of people in Europe, Eastern Europe,
some Spanish countries and the U.S. do to combat this. 
What is it? 
They drink Kefir.

You know, the fermented milk drink. 
And why kefir for stronger bones?
The probiotics in this type of milk and some cheeses fight the oxidative stress
that degrades bone quality, making it easier for a hip to break or losing one's balance
and falling.
And if you're not fans of kefir, yogurt, or cheese, do like the Germans, the Koreans, and the Polish, and eat sauerkraut and kimchi.
These foods also contain ample amounts of probiotics.

Good Luck!

Russia's Rx For A Healthier Mother's Day Brunch!

                               A Toast To Moms! 

With Mother's day less than a wk. away, we thought we pay our respects to moms 
everywhere by letting them know a secret to longevity and easier weight loss.
The secret: drink more tomato juice and vodka if weight and cravings
are getting the best of you. 
That's right- we don't give enough credit to our brothers and sisters from
Russia for their love of vodka and thanks to new research, mixing some
with tomato juice and you create a powerhouse health cocktail.

You also have a Blood Mary, and if you're a fan of both beverages-
continue to drink them, and you'll...
* Reduce Your Appetite-
a problem for many, but women who struggled with cravings were given
a glass of tomato juice instead. And what happened? the cravings disappeared.
* Stronger Bones-
 We joke about the big frames of Russian women, well it's no joke to them,
vodka and tomato juice both help to keep bones strong especially as you get older. 
* Lower Blood Pressure-
Concerned about high cholesterol? Don't be, the numbers on that blood pressure
cuff should really concern you. And if you want to lower your blood pressure,
have a bloody Mary a day.
* A Smaller Belly-
Another concern for a lot of people, the expanded waistline, increase the number
of flat-belly hormones in your system by adding more cooked tomatoes to your daily menus.
* Improved Circulation-
Blood clots don't stand a chance when you add some vodka and tomato juice
to your daily regimen.
* Reduced risk of stroke-
Improved circulation and lower blood pressure also means a lower risk of
having a stroke and heart attack.
* Beautiful Skin-
Tired of paying for pricey skin creams and sunscreens?
knock out two birds with one stone and drink some tomato juice each say.
Not only will fine lines and wrinkles disappear, but you'll also get  natural sunscreen
benefits courtesy of the cooked tomatoes.
* Live Longer-
Want to make it to 80 or more without the hassles of pills, endless hospital
visits, therapists and doctor bills? Have a bloody Mary each day.
As mentioned already, the vodka lowers blood pressure and improves
circulation and when mixed with T.J. you really improve your odds of making
it to 100.

That's it- some healthful benefits of the lowly regarded tomato juice and vodka.
And if you're not a drinker, have the tomato juice alone.
And lastly, make sure to have your tomato juice and/or vodka
with a nutrient-rich diet. Eating burgers, white carbs, fries, slices of pizza, chips,
pretzels and dozens of choc. chip cookies and finishing it off with
a bloody Mary will not benefit you, in fact, you'll only speed up your demise. 

Good Luck!
