Green tea has been a prized staple of Chinese and other Asian diets for thousands of years. It is considered an antigen (immune system enhancer) and adaptogen, which means it can adapt itself in many different ways to whatever your body needs, providing balance and overall good health.
Of all the supplements that have been scientifically studied, green tea has proven to be one of the most potent antioxidants ever discovered. This is surely one of the greatest anti-aging supplements. As such, it will help fight and prevent many diseases.
For example, green tea has been shown to fight cancer and heart disease, lower cholesterol, burn fat, and help prevent stroke and dementia.
Green Tea Antioxidants
The antioxidants in green tea are called catechins and polyphenols, which scavenge free radicals (slowing the aging and disease process) and help protect our DNA (the building blocks or “code” within each cell of our body), and are known to help prevent and treat not just cancer, but blood clots and atherosclerosis, or hardening and blockage of the arteries due to the buildup of harmful plaque. Cardiovascular disease is one of the major causes of death.

We all know it’s hard to keep a positive outlook with the stress of daily life. There are people that we come across everyday at work, home or in the general public that just make it their mission to bring other’s down. [...]

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.
Even better for most people, green tea delays and reduces the onset of wrinkles as we age. This keeps us looking younger and healthier, which helps [...]
Goji, blueberries, strawberries and Noni are all very popular berries, but what if you discovered that there was another berry that may be much more powerful in its health and wellness properties? What if it could help prevent disease – including cancer – improve energy, help you lose weight, aid in digestion and digestive problems, and increase mental concentration?
Acai juice is a increasingly popular diet and nutritional health supplement and has acquired its outstanding reputation because of its healing and astounding nutritional qualities. For example, the ORAC rating of acai berry – which means how much antioxidant power it has – is an astonishing 167, while blueberries are a 44 and apples only a 14, by comparison.
Although limited scientific research has been done because they are natural foods and cannot be patented by pharmaceutical companies, thousands of people have given testimonial to their nutritional powers. As another example, in preleminary scientific studies (in culture, not on humans), acai berry destroyed cancer cells 86% of the time. This will probably prove to have similar benefits in human experiments.
All of these natural fruit berries – goji, noni and acai berry- have a long history of healing and [...]
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 [...]
