The Question Is How Long Do You Want To Live?

We are the cause of our own demise. Our diet cannot sustain us, our bodies cannot cope with the poison we feed it and we are losing our mind because of stress.

The decision is yours - are you going to do something about it?
How Long Will You Live?
Current thinking among researchers on aging holds that we humans are engineered to last between 100 and 120 years depending on our genetic potential.
Why We Age
Created by poor nutrition, pollution, stress and normal metabolic processes, free radicals are unbalanced molecules that are missing an electron in their outer shell.
Antioxidants
The fact that it can take decades for free radicals to do their damage is testimony to the power of our natural antioxidant systems.
Are You Eating Yourself Into An Early Grave?
As Americans continue to gain weight, there is compelling evidence that eating less may be your most powerful strategy for living a long life.
On the Japanese Island of Okinawa, there are more people over the age of 100 than in any other population. These people eat 17 to 40% fewer calories than other Japanese and suffer 30-40% less degenerative disease.

7 Reasons to Drink Green Tea

CUT YOUR CANCER RISK
Several polyphenols - the potent antioxidants green tea's famous for - seem to help keep cancer cells from gaining a foothold in the body
SOOTHE YOUR SKIN
PROTECT YOUR SKIN
STEADY YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE
Having healthy blood pressure - meaning below 120/80 - is one thing. Keeping it that way is quite another. But people who sip just half a cup a day are almost 50 percent less likely to wind up with hypertension than non-drinkers
PROTECT YOUR MEMORY, OR YOUR MOM'S
Green tea may also keep the brain from turning fuzzy. Getting-up-there adults who drink at least two cups a day are half as likely to develop cognitive problems as those who drink less.
STAY YOUNG
The younger and healthier your arteries are, the younger and healthier you are.
LOSE WEIGHT
Oh yeah, one more thing. Turns out that green tea speeds up your body's calorie-burning process

I must confess, since I've been a regular green tea drinker my general health is better, especially my allergies.

Romance As A Cure For Lack of Libido!

Remember when you were young and hot! You couldn't keep your hands of each other. What is the difference?

Romance, in love as opposed to farting in the bed and morning hair.

Rekindle the romance, excitement in your relationship and you will not need medication.

A Dose of Desire


"Drug companies want to say to women, 'You don't need to know anything; you can have the satisfying sex life that you seek -- people dancing on TV, the whole bit -- without knowing anything. Just ask your doctor,' " she says. "I resent that, because there are specific harms that come from being ignorant and dependent in the world we live in. There may be lots of people who aren't interested in sex, but is there a medical reason for that, and do we diagnose that?"


Women like Virginia, a 60-year-old native of Britain and an artist who, for privacy reasons, asked that her last name be omitted. She'd spent years asking doctors for medical help to boost her sex drive, which had once been voracious. All of them, she says, "rolled their eyes and harrumphed and tried to change the subject."

Do You Know These Facts About Cardiovascular Disease?

Cardiovascular disease is amongst the top killers in our modern society. The alarming fact is that we are bringing it onto ourselves.

Don't get caught of guard, educate yourself and make the necessary changes.

clipped from www.med.umich.edu

Diseases of the heart and blood vessels do more than just kill. They profoundly affect the lives of those who have them. More than 70 million Americans have some form of cardiovascular condition, from the tiniest infant born with a mis-formed heart valve, to the young athlete with a heart rhythm abnormality, to the businesswoman with a growing aneurysm and the senior citizen whose life is limited by high blood pressure and heart failure.

  • 1 million Americans have a congenital heart defect.
  • 4.7 million Americans have had a stroke, making it the leading cause of serious, long-term disability in the U.S.
  • 4.9 million Americans have congestive heart failure.
  • 12.9 million Americans have coronary heart disease, including 7.6 million with previous myocardial infarction (heart attack), and 6.6 million with angina.
  • 50 million Americans have high blood pressure (hypertension).
