The Pub Rxs For Better Health!

                        A Pint For Better Health! 

When one thinks of pubs what thoughts usually come to mind?
Out-of-control men, fights and vomiting.
But like most things that are usually deemed "bad for you"
pubs can bolster your health... how? 
In moderation, beer can do a number of things to improve your
health, things like...
a) keep your bones strong
b) keep hair thick and luxurious
c) lower odds of getting type-2 diabetes
d) keep your mind in tip-top shape, beer helps keep plaque 
 from attaching to brain cells.
And the 2 latest discoveries...
e) Lower Cancer Rates-
Beer helps kill at least 60 different types of cancer cells on contact,
including the ones that cause ovarian, colon, uterine and breast 
cancers. The hops in beer kill the cancer cells.
f) Beat Summer Heat-
If Summer fatigue is getting to you, drink a beer or two and overcome it.
The antioxidants in beer improve insulin sensitivity inside muscle 
and brain cells. This helps the cells quickly soak up and use energizing 
glucose for fuel.
So, if you had a negative opinion about pubs, remember this post, 
and think of all of the good a pint (only 1) can do for you. 

Good Luck!

World's Best Tea Rxs!

                     Drink More Tea! 

In the U.S. the preferred hot beverage is coffee, but head to any number of 
foreign countries and tea is the preferred hot beverage.
When one thinks of tea, the English usually come to mind and yes,
black tea does have its benefits. (Lowers stress levels, helps
you sleep, fertility booster, etc) but lets not forget there are dozens
of other types of tea out there and whether you travel to these countries
or stay at home, remember to drink a variety of teas.
a) South Africa-
Home of film star Charlize Theron, the tea South Africans drink can help you
stave off the aging process by 5, 10 or even more yrs.
The tea: Rooibos tea. Called "botox in a cup" the tea contains special
antioxidants and compounds that fight pollution, free radical damage
and the Sun's harmful rays, all of which contribute to you looking yrs. older.
And if you already look youthful, drink the tea to control eczema and psoriasis, and
relieve headaches and joint pain.
Look for this tea at specialty tea shops, health-food stores, Whole Foods,
or online at Amazon.com. 
Last tip: Clean and grate some tangerine or lime or orange or lemon peel 

into a cup and really make it more of an anti-aging fighter.
b) China-
Researchers say the Chinese (not the English) may have been the first to discover this healing beverage and if you also want to control your weight, look younger and delay the aging process, drink White tea.
It's no secret the Asian women always seem to look 5 or more yrs. younger than actual age, and yes, give credit to diet, family ties and gentle exercise routines, but you must also credit tea.
White tea contains compounds that work to protect your skin from the Sun, help to boost metabolism and keep skin looking youthful.
Plus, it's loaded with anti-cancer compounds, which explain the
low rates of cancer in most Asian countries.
Liven up the tea. How? Making some, letting it cool and then adding slices of mango, kiwi and pineapple. Use it to quench Summer thirst.
c) Jamaica-
As well as other countries that have almost 300 days of 80 degree temperatures
and the tea they prefer is...Hibiscus.
Mentioned on the "Dr. Oz" show, this tea can help you keep your hair,
lower blood pressure and slim down.
Drink it like the people of the Islands, and add a cinnamon stick, a wedge of lime
and some dark honey.
d) The Middle East-
If you guessed mint, give yourself a hand.
But are you aware of the different types of mint?
Mint tea can help you stay cool in the Summer (yes, a natural air-conditioner) ]
Plus, it can help put an end to embarrassing gas attacks and help you slim
down.
* Peppermint-
Can help those who are dieting overcome headaches and other pains that
occur due to cutting calories and going through withdrawls.
* Spearmint-
Ladies, embarrassed by facial hair? Well, if creams and shaving are out of the
question, just drink more Spearmint tea. This tea has the ability to lower
testosterone levels, the very (male) hormone causing the facial hair to appear
in the 1st place.
Just remember to cut way back or stop drinking the tea entirely after the hair is gone.
You do need some testosterone in your system.
To help you beat the Summer heat, drink the tea cool with a mint leaf and some ginger.
That's it- Cool beverage ideas to beat the Summer heat and bolster your health
as well.

Good Luck!

if you're not a fan or have never eaten a date, perhaps you will after reading this. 
Dates can help you lower stress levels, (better than doctor-prescribed meds)
lower blood pressure and fight seasonal allergies. (put away the anti-histamines
and inhalers and pick up some dates).
d) Plums-
One doctor says the plum is the Meditarraneans' equivalent to the apple. 
Why? it can bolster health in a number of ways. What types of ways?
Preserve your memory, stave off brain aging.
Build strong bones and keep them strong.
Protect skin from the Sun's harmful UV rays. Natural sunscreen.
e) Apricots-

was shocked to find that there weren't any cases of cancer. 
How was that possible? Apricots. Packed with vitamin B17, a vitamin so powerful 

cancerous tumors don't stand a chance.
Some say the seed may contain all of the special benefits.
But before crushing the seed and ingesting it, it's best to talk to someone knowledgeable about the seed and the proper way to treat and eat it.

England's Rx To Lower Summer Anxiety!

                        Become More Calmer This Summer! 

Anxiety can happen yr. round, but the Summer heat and humidity can really
increase your anxiety levels.
And thanks to new research, the Brits may be able to help you lower it without
drugs or other Dr. prescribed medications.
Their Rx:
Make some Earl Grey and take in the scent.

Lord Earl Grey didn't invent the tea, it was given to him by a Chinese woman for 
saving her son. And after tasting it and enjoying it immensely, The Mrs.- Lady Grey started serving it at family functions and special dinner parties and that's why it's named "Earl
Grey Tea!"
And if the oppressive heat is overstimulating your brain's anxiety center, make a pot and
take 6 -slow deep sniffs.
Making some or just taking in the scent of a tea bag will do.
Earl Grey tea has a blend of bergamot oil and aromatic tea leaves that calm you,
helping you feel more at ease and relaxed.

And one more bit of information:
A few days ago, leading health experts say that women who drink tea in their later
yrs. (60, 70, and beyond) may live for an extra 5 or more yrs.
But there's one catch to tea drinking and  living longer....it (the tea) must be drunk with 
lemon, a little honey and without a danish, pastries and other sweets.
All of these things may (sugar and carbs) contribute to a shorter life.
And guys--the benefits only seem to go to the women. (Sorry)

That's it for today, and if you want info on how to make it to 80, 90 or beyond,
head online to Amazon.com/the kindle and type in The 101 Best Ways To Make It
To 100,  starting July 1st, Amazon.com allows you the read the E-books without actually 
purchasing them.

Good Luck!
