Anti-Aging
Scientific studies, some conducted at Yale University, have shown that green tea can significantly reduce the risk of many cancers and even reduce the size of tumors. It has been used for thousands of years in China, India, Thailand, Japan and other Eastern countries as a general health tonic, much like ginseng, without significant negative side-effects. And like ginseng, science is only beginning to discover its incredible anti aging health benefits.
Here’s a nice little ditty about the Japanese spiritual relationship to tea ceremonies, a very special part of their culture. ” In japan, the traditional japanese tea ceremony is a chance for friends to gather in a harmonious environment and reflect upon the simple joys of friendship and the beauty of nature.”
Beyond cancer additional research has shown that green tea increases the heart’s resistance to vascular diseases, increases life span, cleanses the body of toxins and strengthens your immune system. Green tea can even fight gingivitis (gum disease) and prevent your teeth from getting cavities.

Anti-Aging and Longevity: Life Extension
Very rarely has a natural substance ever been discovered that actually extends our youthful life span and allows us to live significantly longer. Resveratrol is a wonderful gift from nature (and for the ladies, helps keep skin smooth and free of wrinkles).
As reported by a National Institute on Aging/Harvard Medical School joint study, it was found that resveratrol enhances the anti-aging systems in the body, duplicating the anti aging health effects of calorie-restricted diets, as well as improves our general quality of life.
Researchers in Denmark examined 25,000 people to discover what drinking alcohol does to longevity, and found that wine drinkers lowered their [...]
SAM-e. What if I told you there was an all-natural health supplement on the market – like a vitamin – that in scientific studies has proven to be more effective at treating and alleviating depression than the best pharmaceutical antidepressants on the market, without the harmful side-effects?
One way it does this is to boost and balance neurotransmitters in the brain that are responsible for mood and energy – for example, serotonin and dopamine. Dopamine is integrally linked to feeling energetic, and one of the only ways ever discovered to extend lifespan is by maintaining youthful levels by protecting dopamine cells in the brain. More about that in another article.
Scientific studies have shown that people who take pharmaceutical anti-depressants for long periods of time are 7 times more likely to develop cancer than those who don’t. This should be a major concern for people people who are taking pharmaceutical antidepressants on a long-term basis.

Pregnenolone is called the “mother hormone” or “the brain hormone” because it is converted from cholesterol by the body in the mitochondria of the cell and is the primary hormone of the Adrenal gland. That means that all other adrenal hormones – from dhea to testosterone to estrogen, mineralocorticoids and glucocorticoids – are produced from Pregnenolone.
Now we have all heard how terrible cholesterol is for health, right? Anything with cholesterol is bad and must be avoided? But if the most important adrenal hormone in your entire body – and the most potent memory enhancer known to science – is produced from cholesterol, how could cholesterol be so bad for you?
The answer is that cholesterol in itself is not bad, but the sources you get it from in your food or supplements are very important. There are good and bad sources of cholesterol. For example, natural butter is much healthier than synthetic margarine. And don’t eat foods cooked with unhealthy trans-fats, like companies such as McDonalds and KFC, etc. did for years even after the scientific evidence was overwhelming that they should stop because it was causing heart and other diseases.
Pregnenolone has been shown to have very few [...]

For all you know, the history of heartburn might go back to the time of Adam and Eve. Ever since Adam had to look for his own food after being banished from the Garden of Eden, heartburn was to stay with mankind ever after. Eve was slightly better off, surviving on raw honey and plenty of apples throughout the remaining days of her life and in doing so, saving her delicate esophagus from GERD (Gastro-esophageal Reflux Disease) or acid reflux attacks. However, men and women down the ages have not been spared for the faults of their first parents and heartburn has become a common ailment for mankind ever since. Taking cues from Eve however, we have tried using honey and apple cider vinegar to find relief from GERD induced heartburn. [...]

There is a famous quote from Karl Jung, “What you resist, persists”. Whilst you might not know much about the Law of Attraction, it’s basic statement is that you attract what you think about the most. This is true even if you are thinking about something you really don’t want. In fact, because most people spend more time thinking about things they don’t want, and really try to resist them, according to the Law, you are just going to attract more of those bad things to you.
