Tip of the Day:
Independence Day is here, so celebrate by thinking Red, White and Blue with healthy antioxidant and cardiac-supporting Pomegranate ~ brain-boosting and antioxidant Blueberry ~ and White Willow Bark to relieve pain of headaches and inflammation of arthritis. Celebrate Independence from the blahs and low energy with healthy fruits and healthy supplements. Who thought good health could be so patriotic?

.....and Don't Forget: For the Fourth of July, Proceed with Caution: All fireworks, including sparklers, can cause traumatic burn injuries. Every year, nearly 11,000 Americans (half of them under age 15) are treated in emergency rooms for injuries caused by fireworks. It's best to leave fireworks for professionals. If you do use fireworks at home, follow these guidelines to stay safe: Do not use fireworks without labels. ~ Always have adult supervision. ~ Have a bucket of water or hose nearby. ~ Don’t relight or handle fireworks that malfunction. ~ Don’t wear loose clothing. ~ Wear leather gloves for sparklers. If a burn occurs, remove burned clothes, cool the burn with room-temperature water, and cover with a clean, dry cloth. If necessary, or in doubt, go to the hospital. |
News and Research
SPIRULINA Extract May Reverse
Pain Sensitivity -
Research from Taiwan’s National Defense Medical Center and published in Anaesthesia & Analgesia, indicates that phycocyanin, a compound found in Blue Green Algae (i.e.,Spirulina ) may reduce inflammation and have pain killing effects. In animal models, increasing doses of C-phycocyanin reduced levels of inflammatory markers; and chronic inflammation has been linked to a range of conditions linked to heart disease, osteoporosis, type-2 diabetes, arthritis, cognitive decline and Alzheimer's. If the study can be repeated in humans, it offers promise for preventing chronic pain and inflammation brought about by a lack of control of the normal protective mechanism. Spirulina has long been associated with immune building and antiviral properties, eye and brain health and cardiovascular health, but we now see that this study also isolates the mechanism of action in Spirulina as an anti-inflammatory.

Brain Boosters:
The Surprising Things That Supercharge It!
If you're not a morning person, this scenario will sound familiar: You get out of bed, start to boil water for tea, but forget to pour it. Then, you drop two slices of bread in the toaster, but forget to eat it. It’s only after that jolt of caffeine in your Coffee that you remember who you are. However, even though only half awake, the brain has an amazing capacity to remember, despite the occasional breakdowns. Although we're not computers, and increasing our memory capacity isn't as simple as adding more RAM to a hard-drive, there are ways we can boost our brain power, and research has uncovered some surprising ways to preserve and expand this precious gift. One is Exercise. Even fifty minutes of walking three times a week has brain-expanding effects, and walking in a pleasant park-like environment adds even more memory and attention capacity. Researching and learning new information on the Internet can be mentally stimulating and build cognitive strength over time. Good Oral Health is clearly linked to cognitive health, as is Limited Alcohol Consumption. BLUEBERRY consumption is recommended for sharpening thought processes, learning and memory. Brain- Boosting Games (soduku, crosswords, etc.) can amazingly knock a decade off your cognitive age.
