Food Combo Secrets From Around The World!

                                      Combine Foods To Boost Health! 

Are you familiar with the term Superfood?
It's a nutrient-rich food that bolsters one's health and well-being.
And if you're a regular at this blog, then you know we tell you
about some superfoods that come from faraway places.
Well, you may want to get on board on the next big trend concerning
superfoods. What is it? 

Combining superfoods!

Cutting edge research says that combining certain foods greatly
boost their health benefits--packing a nutritious punch that's several
times greater than when eaten alone.
And if you want to boost your health, then look below for some of the
food combos that'll protect you against diseases like diabetes,
high blood pressure, Alzheimer's, etc.
a) France-
If you're thinking wine, you're right, but if you're a long distance traveler,
then you should have some dark chocolate with your wine. 

Although it may not seem like a combo, you'd want any part of, think 
of the alternative... a blood clot while traveling on a 8 hour flight,
or sitting in a car for 8 hours straight. Wine and dark choc. improve circulation

throughout the body.
What also works--a bowl of grapes and sliced apples.
Wine with a few slices of kiwi, starting a week or two before your trip.
b) Russia-
If you're guessing an alcoholic beverage, you're right.
But it's not only alcohol, it's also beet juice.
Russians of course have the reputation of being hard
drinkers, but you can actually improve your health with a shot 

or two of vodka a day. A small of amount of alcohol lowers blood
pressure, builds strong bones, helps you maintain weight, 

and even boosts libido. But overdo it, and you undo all of the benefits.
As for beet juice- it can improve circulation throughout the body,
help the heart beat more efficiently, prevent memory loss
and even boost stamina, thanks to the improved blood flow.
A fun fact, a Russian woman who left Russia  for the U.S. was told
(after living in the U.S. for 10 yrs,) that her blood pressure was a little 

high, her secret for bringing it down? Prescribed meds, no- a shot of
vodka with a cut up clove of garlic.
And not only did this combo bring her pressure down, she was still
going to work at age 75.
c) Italy- 

Where do you start? The coffee, the garlic or the olive oil?
Those things can help, but in some parts of Italy they eat a
a dessert that helps the people stay diabetes-free.
What is it? A dessert made with berries (straw, black or blueberries)
some balsamic vinegar and black pepper. 

This wild combination keeps blood sugar levels steady, helping 
you avoid the expensive meds and finger pricks that come
with being a diabetic. You may want to add a little dark honey
or agave nectar to this dish, to counter the bitterness.
d) Denmark-
Like Italy, you have a number of foods to boost health,
fatty fish, Rye bread and olive oil. But it's actually similar
to Italy's combination in that it too, lowers your odds
of becoming a diabetic, the food combo: a top quality
yogurt and some wild berries. In a lot of countries, a small 

amount of nuts, some fruit, a piece of cheese or some yogurt
with some berries and honey is all the dessert these people need.
e) Australia-
Want to turbocharge your sex drive? Eat like an Aussie and get
your wish. What food combo is it? Meat and Seafood. Aka surf and turf. 

Aussies reportedly make love 3 to 5 times a week and some say top 
quality meat and seafood may be the reason.
Both contain ample amounts of zinc, a mineral needed for a strong
and long-lasting sex life. And with the poor quality of meats
and the non-meat eaters in a lot of countries, they're lagging 

behind their Aussie brothers and sisters.
So, if you've noticed a decline in your bedroom activities,
perhaps investing in grass-fed beef and wild caught seafood will turn things around. Or do like a Frenchman (or woman) and consume more wine.

Hey, that's it for now, but if you found this post interesting and
want to learn how more great food combos that can fight Fall allergies, prevent certain cancers, lower cholesterol levels, end insomnia,boost metabolism and libido and keep your thyroid in tiptop shape, head on over to Amazon.com/the kindle store, and download your own copy of, see title to the right.
Pay a few dollars now, or spend thousands later...at the hospital
or pharmacy.

Good Luck!

Health Benefits From Sonoma County!

                  Health Secret From Sonoma County!
Sonoma County- the beautiful city in Northern California is well known for its
wine, in fact, it's called "wine country."
Wine can be boost ones health in a number of ways, but we want to
talk about another health perk that comes from Sonoma county.
That something is Herbs!

That's right-thanks to their rich soil and sunny days, herbs like basil,

cilantro and rosemary prosper there.  These herbs are also
popular because many of the residents would rather use them instead
of salt.
And if you start adding these herbs to your soups, salads,
meat dishes and teas, you too, can prosper-health-wise.

Listed below are some of the herbs and their benefits...
1) Basil- build immunity levels with this incredible herb,
With cold season still looming large, some basil will help you

stay cold and flu-free. it also helps ease pain.
Suffering from a bad back? Add more basil to your dishes.
2) Rosemary- Named by some researchers as the best herb to prevent
breast cancer, it's smart to add it to your dishes on a daily basis,
and if you have a pre-teen or teenager daughter, start them now
on rosemary. Plus, it's an anti-inflammatory.
3) Cilantro- A natural detoxifier, and loaded with antioxidants.
If you eat fish on a regular basis, and worried about mercury overload,

add cilantro to the dish or add some to hot water and drink as a tea.

That's it- although we've only mentioned 3 herbs, add dill, thyme
and tarragon as well. All contain antioxidants and when you use them on
a regular basis, your cravings for salt will diminish. 

And another benefit:
If you don't get all of your nutrients from food or vitamins,
the herbs will surely make up for them.
