Acai Berry: Exciting Health Benefits That May Surprise You

admin — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 02:33:24 +0000

A little berry from the Amazon Rainforest has recently skyrocketed in popularity here in America. Already legendary in Brazil for its nutritional benefits and healing ability, the acai berry has been touted by the media, most notably Dr. Perricone on the Oprah show, and dubbed "The worlds #1 superfood".

A superfood is defined as any natural food that has an extraordinarily high nutrient content, and the acai berry certainly delivers. It contains healthy fats, iron, amino acids, and, most importantly, a remarkable amount of free radical fighting antioxidants.

These powerful antioxidants are the main reason for all the hoopla about the acai berry, and they are behind many of the more well known benefits of acai. Some of which include: More powerful immune system, increased energy and stamina, reduced pain and soreness, increased disease resistance, improved vision and more.

But there are three other benefits that aren't as well known, but much more exciting. Let's take a look...

The Acai Berry Increases Libido

Interestingly enough, the acai berry is commonly referred to in Brazil as "Amazon Rainforest Viagra. Some doctors even recommend the acai berry to couples who are having difficulty getting pregnant.

Why is acai revered so much for increasing libido? Well, besides hundreds of years of "hands on testing", Brazilian natives point to its powerful ability to increase energy and stamina. And, although it hasn't been proven by science, they also insist that there's something else in it that naturally boosts the sex drive.

Acai Berry Controls Weight Gain

Combined with proper diet and exercise, the acai berry can be an excellent weight loss aid. It has a natural combination of antioxidants, essential fatty acids, amino acids, phytosterols, and amino acids that work together to help your body function better, process food easier, and burn fat more efficiently.

It's also a near perfect fuel for the body and, as such, increases energy and stamina allowing you to work out harder and for longer periods of time. In fact, Jiu-jitsu practitioners and soccer players in Brazil often have a large meal of acai berry pulp before a competition. If it works for them, imagine how well it will keep you going on a treadmill.

Acai Berry Fights Cancer

If you have any doubts about the power of the antioxidants in the acai berry, they're about to be gone forever.

The University of Florida published a study in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry that found that the acai berry triggered a self destruct response in up to 86% of human cancer cells. Yes, you read that right. The acai berry actually killed cancer cells in laboratory tests!

Of course there's a lot of research to be done before anyone can say if the acai berry is a cure for cancer, but the study was certainly an eye opener to the amazing healing abilities of the acai berry. Hopefully, with the recent surge of interest in the acai berry, more and more exciting benefits will be found.

Omega 3, A Medical Miracle

admin — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 17:37:35 +0000

your drugs in the chemist's pot if you can heal the patient with food." Hippocrates. Lately we have all heard so much about omega 3, and its many health benefits. When I turn my radio on in the morning, there are at least 3 Omega 3 advertisements in a 1 hour period. Omega-3 fatty acids are polyunsaturated fatty acids found in certain fish tissues, and in vegetable sources. A number of years ago, I did not hear of Omega 3. Well, not to any great extend anyways. Today, Omega 3 is mentioned on radio shows and television shows. It is written about in newspapers and magazines. And as is so often quoted, boy did our moms who fed us cod liver oil know what they were doing; even if they did not recognize the exact scientific reason behind it. I research this topic with great interest. Here are some facts and figures to make you take note. Various scientific studies have now linked omega-3 fatty acids with a reduction in the risk of developing deadly diseases such as cancer, heart disease, and most recently Alzheimer's. And, in the anti inflammation fight, once again, Dr. Barry Sears leads the way in the science of human nutrition with his new breakthrough book, "The Anti-Inflammation Zone" in which he uncovers a new way to define wellness. The absence of silent inflammation. In this book, Dr. Sears answers critical questions: What is Silent Inflammation What causes this offender How do you know if you have it Why is it a curse to your health. How you can reduce it. We often hear of people having heart attacks out of the blue and dying instantly. Some of these heart attacks may have been averted if certain health conditions were known beforehand. Pro self help in health care is one of the biggest advantages we can give ourselves.

But how do you know if you really need this important supplement and how would you know what you are taking is working? The Omega 3 Profile + blood test provides the answers. The Omega 3 Profile + provides the data you need to: Reduce your risk of dying of a heart attack by 70% Reduce your risk of developing heart disease by 32% Control silent inflammation - which can lead to deadly diseases such as Alzheimer's, Cancer, ADD, and Arthritis if left uncontrolled Increase circulation Show you if you are getting enough omega-3's from your diet The Omega 3 Profile + (a complete Essential Fatty Acid panel) is a specialized test offered exclusively by Your Future Health (YFH). This is the same test featured in Dr. Barry Sears' book, the Omega Rx Zone. The Omega 3 Profile + does not require a physician's order and is strongly recommended for anyone who takes a pro-active approach to wellness. More importantly, you can positively change this bio-marker, and your future, in less than 30 days. A pre-alert today could have a dramatic impact on your future health and longevity. There is no doubt that the omega-3 fatty acids are essential to health. They are fundamental molecules in the structure and activity of the membranes of all cells throughout the body. They also have highly specialized functions in neurological tissues, especially the brain and retina. Because of their role in cell membranes, omgega-3 fatty acids are essential for the formation of new tissue and are therefore important for development and growth. Omega-3 Fatty Acids (EPA/DHA) are Among the Most Powerful Nutrients Available to Help Reduce Silent Inflammation. History has shown and scientists have found that the Eskimos of Greenland suffered very little from coronary heart disease despite a diet very high in fat. The primary source of fat in their diet came from sea mammals, which contain high amounts of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids. The American Heart Association recommends healthy people eat omega-3 fatty acids from fish and plant sources to protect their hearts. I came across this information while researching Omega 3. "News release, American College of Cardiology" The inflammation-fighting effects of omega-3 fatty acids may be the key behind fish's heart-healthy benefits, according to a new study. Dr. Barry Sears has been writing about this very topic for years. Researchers found inflammation markers, such as C-reactive protein and others, were up to a third lower in people who ate at least 10 ounces of fish per week compared with those didn't eat fish. The more fish the people ate, especially fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids such as salmon, mackerel, and tuna, the lower their level of markers of inflammation in the bloodstream. The omega-3s have proven physical health benefits, and now they are also demonstrating impressive results in the treatment of mental imbalance leading to anti-social behavior, learning difficulties, schizophrenia and depression.

The human brain is unique within the animal world in that it forms a greater proportion of body weight than in other species. It is also unique in its composition. Of the solid (non-water) matter in the brain 60% is fat, or lipid, and of that, polyunsaturates form the biggest component. We are now learning that diet can alter brain composition and brain function.

A fish-rich diet helps keep the mind sharp. Previous studies found that people who ate fish lowered their risk of Alzheimer's disease and stroke. Fish such as salmon and tuna that are rich in omega-3 fatty acids also have been shown to prevent heart disease.

Do you want to be around to play with your grandchildren? Go for a walk in the park? Be there for your child's graduation? Do you want to enjoy great middle age, old age? Then you need to take control of your health, your well being. Now, Today. Can Omega 3 help you achieve this? Study! Research! Read Dr. Barry Sears, and find out what he has to say.

Alternative Medicine for Treating Cancer

admin — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 14:21:34 +0000

Cancer is the name given to any illness resulting from one of our body's own cells growing out of control. There are many processes that control a cell's growth and division, each of which can go wrong. Several of these control mechanisms need to be damaged before a cell becomes cancerous. There are more than 200 different types of cancers, which are categorized in to carcinoma, sarcoma, lymphoma and leukemia based on the cells from which they arise.

The principles involved in treating cancer are either directly destroying the cancer tissues or indirectly destroying them by depriving them of blood supply and/or their nutrition. But the irony is that whatever conventional treatment is used to destroy cancer cells do affect to some extent the normal cells also. They may damage the skin, liver, intestine the bone marrow and other rapidly multiplying cells. Sometimes the effect of the treatment is more devastating than the disease itself.

Role of Alternative Medicine in treating cancer

A larger study of Alternative medicine use in patients with different types of cancer was published in the July 2000 issue of the Journal of Clinical Oncology. It was found that nearly 70% of the patients used at least one form alternative medicine along with the conventional treatment. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) are sponsoring a number of clinical trials at medical centers to evaluate alternative medical therapies for cancer.

Alternative medicine includes therapies like herbal remedies, vitamins, special diets, and acupuncture among others.

-Macrobiotics: The macrobiotic diet is strictly vegetarian and requires you to consume about half of your daily calories from whole grains, about a quarter of your calories from vegetables, and the rest of your calories from beans, seaweed and soups

-Bioelectric therapies

-Moerman's Anti-Cancer diet

-Hoxsey herbal therapy

-Essiac herbal therapy: Essiac is a herbal tea mixture that relieves pain and reduces the size of tumors. It contains four herbs- burdock, rhubarb, sheep sorrel and slippery elm

-Pau D'Arco herbal therapy

-Chaparral herbal therapy

-Laetrile (amygdalin): a chemical found in lima beans, raw nuts and the pits of many fruits. Amygdalin produces cyanide, which proponents claim kills cancer

-Alkaline diet: such as fruits and vegetables and restricting acidic foods

-Antioxidant found in fruits and vegetables

-Vitamins A, C and E: These are very good anti oxidants

-Detox therapies including Gonzales nutritional metabolic therapy, colon therapy, and Gerson therapy

The most successful practitioners integrate various components of the alternative cancer treatments for a better outcome.Omega 3
