| Article Title :: Startling New Evidence: You Can Slow the Aging Process, Scientists Say |
| |
| What if you could actually slow your rate of aging, and live healthier longer, simply by eating certain foods? U.S. Government scientists now say it’s possible.Floyd P. Horn, then Administrator of the scientific research arm of the USDA, broke the exciting news in February 1999.“Young and middle-aged people,” said Horn, “may be able to reduce risk of diseases of aging -- including senility -- simply by adding high-ORAC foods to their diets.”I don’t know about you, but I find that statement tremendously exciting: “simply by adding high-ORAC foods.”Buddy, Can You Spare Some ORAC?Unfortunately, most Americans have no idea that there may be a (read full article) |

| Article Title :: What You Should Know About |
| |
| I don’t understand people sometimes. You know, there is a huge problem with our health care. When it comes to trauma we are the best in the world hands down. Doctors are doing incredible things in trauma; I think that God works through the hands of these amazing doctors. But when it comes to keeping us healthy the United States is thirty seventh on the list, thirty seventh. It’s not hard to see that this is true. We all know someone with some kind of health related issue. It’s really sad as a matter of fact.You shouldn’t wait until you get a health issue to do something about it. That’s what I don’t understand about the majority of people today. It seems that the majori (read full article) |

| Article Title :: The Cholesterol Myth |
| |
| Cholesterol. What images come to mind when you see this word? Is it positive or negative? Is it health, or is it heart disease?If what came to mind was negative, as something to avoid, and heart disease, then the pharmaceutical companies food industries have been successful in getting you to believe a fabricated myth!According to George V. Mann, M.D., professor of Medicine and Biochemistry at Vanderbilt University, “Saturated fat and cholesterol in the diet are not the cause of coronary heart disease. That myth is the greatest scientific deception of this century, perhaps of any century.”Russell L. Smith, Ph.D. is the author of the book, The Cholesterol Conspiracy (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Does your body know its ABC's?? |
| |
| What are Glyconutritionals?The Greek word "Glyco" means "Sugar". Most people think of sugar as being bad for you. However, there are actually TWO kinds of sugars. One is the refined or "extracellular" sugars which have been long associated with human disease. The other sugars are "intracellular" which can be found in fruits and vegetables and provide the body with nutrition it needs. These sugars, also known as “complex carbohydrates”, have been studied for years. However, only recently have we begun discovering their purpose in the body.An increasing number of scientists believe that certain carbohydrates represent the next frontier in the search for non-toxic treatmen (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Fruits for Summer: Summer Skin Care |

| Summer is the time when we sweat highly and beating the heat is always high on our agenda. So, we move on to aerated drinks or other beverages. But what we tend to ignore is that we can fight the heat in a much healthier way. That is, through FRUITS. Fruits not only provide us with the required fluids but also the electrolytes which we lose while sweating.Excess of dehydration can cause headaches, dizziness, loss of concentration and muscle cramping.

Here is the list of some highly beneficial fruits specially in summers.1) Watermelon: Watermelon is (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Garlic - Join Me And I´ll Show You Why Garlic Can Save Your Life |
| |
| Are you worried yet about your health? Are you anxious about your heart, or about the possibility of contracting cancer? If so, you are not alone, and your concerns are quite valid. Cancer and heart disease are today’s major killers, and as of now, we are yet to find a safe and effective drug, that can prevent these diseases. Some will argue that taking one or two aspirins a day can reduce the risk of heart disease, and it saddens me to see how many people are doing this, because I know the problems brought by aspirin over use, if these people knew about the long term damage caused by this drug, they would think twice, before popping another one into their mouths. Maybe they would give (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Avoiding High Cholesterol Foods |
| |
| Cholesterol finds its way into our bodies in two main ways. The first is
through our liver, which produces differing amounts of cholesterol in
different people, and the second is through our diet.A certain amount of cholesterol is needed by our bodies, but the liver
makes all that is required for us. Any cholesterol that we intake through
our food, is all extra cholesterol, and should be avoided as far as possible.
Thus, what to eat and what not to eat becomes a major concern for people
who are trying to become healthier and lower their cholesterol levels.Many foods contain cholesterol and many don’t. Food stuffs such as oils,
fats, and animal products including mea (read full article) |

| |
| Before we get to honey we have a question from one
of our readers.Pam asks:What is your opinion of Splenda?Answer:Splenda is made by chlorinating sugar (sucrose). Three
of the hydroxyl groups on the sucrose molecule are replaced by
chlorine. DDT, an extremely toxic pesticide, is another
compound made by chlorinating positions on a hydrocarbon ring
structure. The data so far would indicate that Splenda
