The Scandinavian Rx To Ease Aches and Pains!

                      The Food That Ends Aches and Pain! 

As we mentioned once or four times in the past is that to live a little 
longer, you must follow the examples laid down by the people of 
Norway, Denmark, Finland and Sweden, i.e. "The Scandinavian
Countries." 

Thanks to years of research, their food of choice to combat blue
(Winter) moods and depression is showing great promise as a way to
tame arthritic pain. 
What food is that?
Fatty fish. 

That's right, the people of these countries eat way more fish than their
American counterparts and a result they suffer way less arthritic pain.
They also eat a better quality of food, less junk and less processed food. 
The science behind this:
Fatty fish, (salmon, trout, tuna, mackerel, and sardines) are rich in 2 nutrients
known to ease arthritis pain, vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acids.
Both nutrients decrease inflammation by suppressing production of cytokines and
enzymes that erode cartilage. 

So, are you convinced? Ready to add more fish to your daily menus.
If so, remember these tips...
Make sure to bake, stir-fry or broil these types of fish in small amounts of oil,
(Coconut, walnut or Olive) deep frying fish in a lot of oil, raises your risk of stroke. 
Reduce or totally eliminate the sweets, white carbs and other processed foods. 
These types of foods only increase the amount of inflammation inside your
body. (especially your joints)
Drink green tea, green tea along with fatty fish really lowers the pain you
feel in your joints.
Eat more fatty fish (and less junk) if you suffer from blue and dark moods, 
consider salmon and sardines- natural antidepressants without the high price tags
or side effects.
And lastly, for more great info on how Scandinavians enjoy such robust health,
head to Amazon.com/the kindle store and type The Nordic Secrets (or Rxs)
 For Perfect Health, in the search bar.

Good Luck!

Iceland's Rx To Lower Blood Pressure!

                  Eat This To Lower Blood Pressure!
Treating high blood pressure is almost as costly as treating
sleep disorders, diabetes, anxiety, depression, cancers and
heart disease.
Well, thanks to new research, you may be able to lower it without
resorting to dangerous or costly drugs.
And the new, alternative approach comes from Iceland.
What is it?
Eat Skyr.
Skyr is the traditional yogurt of Iceland, and it's not really 
a yogurt, but a cultured, dairy product that's creamy, rich and tangy.

Researchers think probiotic-rich foods like Greek yogurt and
skyr may be able to lower blood pressure by a few points,
allowing people to give up the dangerous and costly drugs many
are now dependent on.
But it's just not Skyr, the Danes also eat a yogurt that rich and creamy
and full of probiotics. In fact, they eat their dairy product as
a dessert with some berries and it may be the reason for the low
levels of diabetes among Danish people.

And if you're not a fan of dairy, do like the South Koreans and eat
Kimchi, yes the spicy and fermented dish known as Kimchi is
a probiotic.
And the Germans and Polish have their own versions of probiotics
called Sauerkraut and pickles.
That's it- some alternative solutions to a very serious problems. 

Look for Skyr, (try Siggis), Greek yogurt, sauerkraut, pickles
and Kimchi at your local supermarkets or go to any Asian specialty
store or go online and see if you can order any of these products
from your computer.

And lastly, if you want more info on how the Danes, Icelanders, Norwegians, Swedes and Finns keep their blood pressure in the normal range...head on over to Amazon.com/the kindle store and download, see title to the right...
Good Luck!
