Astragalus for
Immunity
_TOPICS:
|
As
the cold season approaches, many people are looking towards
natural alternatives to boost their immune system and help them
get through the winter. A variety of herbs are known for their
immune-boosting properties, one of which is a Chinese herb
called Astragalus.
Astragalus (Astragalus membranaceus) is an herb native to
northeastern China and has been used for more than 2,000 years
to balance the vital energy- or qi--which flows through all the
organs. The sweet-tasting roots, harvested in the spring or
autumn has the medicinal properties. Astragalus contains
numerous components, including flavonoids, polysaccharides,
triterpene glycosides (e.g., astragalosides), amino acids and
trace minerals.

Folic Acid for
Depression
_TOPICS:
|
Numerous
studies have now demonstrated the benefits of folic acid
supplementation during pregnancy. Taking folic acid either
before conception or very early on in the pregnancy and
continuing throughout can help prevent a type of birth defect
known as neural tube defect (spina bifida). But folate (folate
is the salt form of folic acid and is found in both forms in the
body) deficiency had been linked to other disorders also. For
example, the correlation between low folate levels and
depression has been recognized by the scientific community since
the 1960’s.

A Cup of Tea
_TOPICS:
|
In
this world of instant gratification, you can get just about
anything you want and run right off to the next desire. Drive
around the corner to the local store; its certainly faster than
walking.
People want energy - they pop an energy pill. You want to think
better - you can pop a pill. You want to relax - just pop a
pill. But just what is making us lack energy, be unfocused and
stressed? Its our modern lifestyle. Everything is rushed. Even
meals. They don't call it fast food just because you get it
fast, but you also eat it fast. Have you ever seen anyone savor
a Big Mac over an hour's lunch? Of course not; after 15 minutes
it turns to glue. If you haven't swallowed it by then, you
should dispose of it as hazardous waste.

Drink Alcohol To
Life, and For Your Life!
_TOPICS:
|
Caution!
Read the following only if you can limit your drinks to one per
day and you have no alcohol-related afflictions. Alcohol can be
addictive and must be consumed with care.
Contrary to popular belief, alcohol consumption may very well
prove to be therapeutically beneficial! Not only red wine
(remember the French Paradox), but all forms of ethanol can be
good for you; especially your heart. Moderation is the key: this
translates to 12 oz of beer, 5 oz of wine or 1.5 oz of the
strong stuff per day (for women, twice that amount for men).
More can and will be harmful.
