The Greek Food Rx For a Healthier Heart!

                          Eat Your Way To a Healthier Heart! 

If you're into healthy eating, then you're well aware of the diet that's
practiced by many people of Greek, French, Italian and Spanish descent,
the diet: The Mediterranean diet. 

You know, a diet of fish, healthy oils, greens, some fruits,
whole grains, nuts, seeds, coffee and wine.
Researchers say follow this diet and you'll avoid many of the diseases
and illnesses plaguing those who eat the complete opposite,
endless meals that contain  tran-fats, brightly colored food dyes,  high-fructose
corn syrup and inflammation-causing grains.
The researchers also say if you want to avoid heart disease it's best to combine foods. 
Combine foods?
Yes, as in fish with wine and garlic with red peppers. 

Why these combos?
Fish like sardines, salmon, and trout protect your heart by lowering
triglycerides,  blood pressure and arterial damage and when you
add a glass (or 2) of wine, you'll absorb more of the heart-protecting fats
from the fish.
As for the garlic and red pepper- garlic lowers blood pressure numbers by
triggering the production of a compound that relaxes blood vessels and
adding some red pepper, which is loaded with Vit. C, means the garlic
will work more effectively lowering your blood pressure and a lower blood pressure
translates into a healthier heart.

So, if you're already combining some wine with fish and garlic with red peppers,
continue to do so, but if you're not doing it, it's time to start, not only
will your heart thank you, but so will your waistline.

And one more helpful tip--if you want to learn more about the food
combos that'll help you build strong bones or strong vision, head on over
to Amazon.com/the kindle store and type Food Combos for Superior Health 
in the search bar. Download it for the paltry sum of $1.99, and really
boost your odds for incredible health and  super longevity.

Good Luck!

Japanese Secrets To Banish Bad Moods and Mild Depression!

                                       Massage Your Way To a Better Mood! 

It's no secret- the pharmaceutical companies are making billions
off of those who are experiencing blue moods, anxiety, anti-social 
behaviors and depression and if you're one of those people who 
are paying the pharmaceutical companies you may want to try
something different. 
What type of different are you speaking about?
How about massage. 

No, not the type of massage you're thinking of, no- this
type of massage is done to one's hands, not your  back, shoulders,
feet or scalp.

That's right- your hands.
Massaging one's hands, feet and face has been done for centuries 
by Asians and Indians, but the type of massage featured today
was discovered by a Japanese woman in the 50's, the 1950's. 
The massage practice is called- "Jin Shin Jyutsu"
and all that's required is that you or another person massage the fingers
and in between the fingers. 

Hold on- isn't that reflexology or acupressure- you ask?
No- we mean a more physical type of massage, think of Swedish massage
for your fingers.
As in manhandling the fingers, you know- pulling on the thumbs, the ring, middle 
and forefingers, twisting them, deeply massaging them and pulling them.
You should do this  whenever tensions or moods get out of hand,
or whenever you have some free time, sitting in traffic or when 
you're watching your favorite T.V. show. 

That's it for today, and if bad moods and anxiety levels are getting the best of
you, you also may want to look into other alternative methods to help alleviate
some of the symptoms, you know-things like exercising, (preferably outdoors)
as in a brisk walk, (walking in a circle for 20 mins, lowers stress and anxiety levels)
eating a better diet, especially more fatty fish, (which is called nature's best diet pill)
volunteering, (take the focus off of you and give it to a vet, an elderly person,
abandoned pets or a troubled kid)
Or try the thousand yr. old remedy used by Tibetans and Indians- meditation or yoga.
And if you need any more info on this unusual method of healing, 
head to Google.com and type Jin Shin Jyutsu into the search bar,
you may be able to find some tutorial videos there.
Doing our part to put "Big Pharma" out of business.

Good Luck!

The French-Italian Breakfast Rx For More Energy!

                                    An Appetizer For Breakfast! 

We won't bore you with any more news about the importance of eating
a good breakfast, (more energy, fewer cravings later in the day,
it boosts metabolism, less risk of getting diabetes) 

No, we're just here to tell you if coffee and donuts or pop tarts
and milk or even a green smoothie is your preferred breakfast,
you may to take after your French and Italian brothers
and sisters and have an appetizer. 

An appetizer?
Yes, the recipe is for  Bruscheta (the Italian influence
and it uses a Baguette- the French influence).
To make this delectable Breakfast Bruscheta...
Saute some cherry tomatoes in a frying pan with some
oregano, basil or parsley (or use all three) and a little olive oil. 
Just saute until the tomatoes are soft. Slice a whole grain baguette down the 
middle and add some cream cheese (low-fat or regular)
and then add the tomatoes on top.
If you like--you can heat it in the oven or eat it as is.
Watch the cream cheese in the oven. 
This food combo is a mixture of protein and carbs 
which will decrease appetite for fatty foods (later in the day)
and give you a steady stream of energy, (unlike sweets, which
give you an instant energy boost, then cause you to crash)
allowing you to get more done throughout the day.

Good Luck!

Poland's Low-Cost Rx For Weight Loss!

                                  Eat Green For Weight Loss! 

During the past 4 yrs. we've done a few posts on the food that's 
as popular in Poland and South Korea (Kimchi) as lettuce is in the U.S.
The food: Cabbage. 

Yes, the food that can be purchased for less than $2 can pay bigger
dividends to you in regards to your health.
What kinds of dividends? 
Lower odds of getting certain cancers, especially breast.
Longevity-Actress Cloris Leachman, is now 90 yrs. old and she
says changing her diet to a  raw food diet (in her late 30's) plays a big part in her living this
long.
And one of her favorite dishes: Coleslaw. Made with cabbage, sea salt, black pepper, 
raw sugar, olive oil, apple cider vinegar and shredded carrots.
A top health researcher says if longevity is a goal you want to achieve, then you must add
more cabbage to your diet. 

And lastly, if extra weight is something you're struggling with, try adding more 
cabbage to your diet.
Why cabbage?
It's a weight-loss superfood and it (cabbage) has powerful antioxidants 
(glucosinolates and chlorophyll) that ward off fat storage and improve the
ability of muscles to burn fat for energy.

That's it- and if you need some help finding ways to prepare cabbage (other than boiling 
it for 20 mins.) go to Google.com and type cabbage dishes or ways to prepare
cabbage in the search bar. You can also steam a few of the outer leaves and use
them as a wrap for your burger or chicken salad.
And don't forget to add some red cabbage to your daily menus as well, 
it helps protect your brain and that means lower rates of memory loss, 
dementia and even Alzheimer's.

Good Luck!
