Healthy Eating for Healthy Living in 2005

Eating healthy is fast becoming a way of life. Americans are living longer, however, the goal of many is not to simply live longer, the goal it is to live a longer and healthier life. Simple everyday fruit can help.

Recent studies have indicated that the antioxidants in fruit provide a whole host of health benefits: the anti-aging power of blueberries and the joint pain relieving properties found in cherries to name a few.

The multitudes of health components found in fruit are truly a gift from Mother Nature. Here are a few everyday fruits for healthy living in 2005:

Cherries The Supercharged Fruit:

Are cherries truly fruit for a healthy you? Recent studies have revealed that cherries offer an assortment of health benefits including the ability to offer natural relief from joint pain caused from gout, arthritis and joint inflammation.

The wonder of the cherry is the anthocyanins. According to research from Michigan State University tart cherries contain anthocyanins and bioflavonoids, which inhibit the enzymes Cyclooxygenase-1 and -2, and prevent inflammation in the body. These compounds have similar activity as aspirin, naproxen and ibuprofen.

Further investigations revealed that daily consumption of cherries has the potential to reduce the pain associated with joint inflammation. Many are choosing to drink cherry juice, eat cherries or consume tart cherry pills for relief of gout, arthritis and joint pain.

Linda L. Patterson is a living testimony of the soothing affects of cherries on her joint pain. I enjoy crocheting and lately my hands have been so painful, I couldnt crochet for more than about 30 minutes., says Patterson. In an attempt to find relief from her pain, she located Fruit Advantage Tart Cherry capsules, (www.fruitadvantage.com)
a supplement made from red tart cherries. Within the first week of taking the tart cherry capsules my hands felt so much better., says Ms. Patterson. I am now able to crochet without the pain in my hands.

Blueberries Natures Top Antioxidant Fruit:

Blueberries emerged as the top antioxidant capacity fruit in a laboratory testing procedure called ORAC - Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity developed by the USDA*. ORAC has become the definitive measurement of antioxidant capacity.
James Joseph, Ph.D, Chief of the USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging in Boston, is working with blueberries to examine their potential to help improve motor skills and reverse the short-term memory loss that comes with aging.
"The blueberry has emerged as a very powerful food in the aging battle," said Joseph. "Given the possibility that blueberries may reverse short-term memory loss and forestall other effects of aging, their potential may be very great."

Terry Johnson, a resident of Grand Rapids, Michigan, munchies on dried blueberries for the convenience and taste. I work behind a computer for eight hours a day and I like to snack. I began eating dried blueberries instead of a candy bar from the vending machine. Now I feel good when I snack because I am eating fruit instead of candy.

Are you worried about your moles, warts, and skin tags? Are scared about the idea of removing them surgically using laser, knife or some acid?

Moles and warts are skin infection caused by specific wart viruses, producing bumps on various parts of body or the soles of feet. Keeping your feet dry after being in one of these areas is the best method of prevention.
Here are some remedies for removal of moles, warts and skin tags.

Soak your wart in warm water for 15-20 minutes and dry. Apply apple cider vinegar with a cotton ball and leave on for 10-15 minutes. Wash off with water and dry.

Dissolve an aspirin with a small drop of water and apply to the wart. Cover with a band-aid. Repeat twice daily.
Mix some baking soda in water and rub on the wart 3-4 times daily. You can soak a cloth guage with a mixture of baking soda and castor oil and apply it on the mole. Secure it there with a band-aid. Leave it for overnight.
For getting rid of plantar warts, daily take a piece of ripe (or raw) banana peel and apply the pulp side to the wart and cover with a band-aid. Remove it only when taking bath. Apply daily for many months.
For quite old warts, chew some cashews and place it on the wart. Your warts should melt away in 3-4 weeks.
Open the stem of a dandelion and rub on the warts 2-3 times daily until the wart disappears in 3-4 weeks.
Rub crushed garlic on the wart 2-3 times daily until the wart disappears in 3-4 weeks. OR mash a garlic clove so it is pulpy and moist. Cover the wart with this pulp and secure it there with a band-aid. Leave it for overnight. Wart will start disappearting from the first night.
Chop one raw onion and cover with salt and leave overnight. Apply the juice to the warts 2-3 times daily until warts disappear.
Apply a drop of grapefruit seed extract to the wart and cover with a band-aid, 2-3 times daily. Your warts should fall off in 3-4 weeks.

Nicotine Patch (Generic) 21mg 7/Box

"Stop Smoking Aid Uses Reduces withdrawal symptoms, including nicotine craving, associated with quitting smoking. Use it 16 hours or 24 hours - you decide! If you smoke: more than 10 cigarettes per day: start with Step 1. 10 or less cigarettes per day: start with Step 2. Includes: 14 patches, Committed Quitters Program enrollment form, user's guide, CD and child resistant disposal tray. What is the NicoDerm CQ Patch and how is it used? NicoDerm CQ is a small, nicotine-containing patch. When you put on a NicoDerm CQ patch, nicotine passes through the skin and into your body. NicoDerm CQ is very thin and uses special material to control how fast nicotine passes through the skin. Unlike the sudden jolts of nicotine delivered by cigarettes, the amount of nicotine you receive remains relatively smooth throughout the 24 or 16 hour period you wear the NicoDerm CQ patch. This helps to reduce cravings you may have for nicotine. Directions If you are under 18 years of age: ask a doctor before use. Before using this product, read the enclosed user's guide for complete directions and other information. Stop smoking completely when you begin using the patch. If you smoke more than 10 cigarettes per day, use according to the following 10 week schedule: STEP 1: Use one 21 mg patch/day, weeks 1-6. STEP 2: Use one 14 mg patch/day, weeks 7-8. STEP 3: Use one 7 mg patch/day, weeks 9-10. If you smoke 10 or less cigarettes per day, do not use STEP 1 (21 mg). Start with STEP 2 (14 mg) for 6 weeks, then STEP 3 (7 mg) for 2 weeks and then stop. Steps 2 and 3 allow you to gradually reduce your level of nicotine. Completing the full program will increase your chances of quitting successfully. Apply one new patch every 24 hours on skin that is dry, clean and hairless. Remove backing from patch and immediately press onto skin. Hold for 10 seconds. Wash hands after applying or removing patch. Throw away the patch in the enclosed disposal tray. See enclosed user's guide for safety and handling. You may wear the patch for 16 or 24 hours. If you crave cigarettes when you wake up, wear the patch for 24 hours. If you have vivid dreams or other sleep disturbances, you may remove the patch at bedtime and apply a new one in the morning. The used patch should be removed and a new one applied to a different skin site at the same time each day. Do not wear more than one patch at a time. Do not cut patch in half or into smaller pieces. Do not leave patch on for more than 24 hours because it may irritate your skin and loses strength after 24 hours. Stop using the patch at the end of 10 weeks. If you started with STEP 2, stop using the patch at the end of 8 weeks. If you still feel the need to use the patch talk to your doctor. TO INCREASE YOUR SUCCESS IN QUITTING: 1. You must be motivated to quit. 2. Complete the full treatment program, applying a new patch every day. 3. Use with a support program as described in the enclosed User's Guide. Warnings If you are pregnant or breast-feeding, only use this medicine on the advice of your health care provider. Smoking can seriously harm your child. Try to stop smoking without using any nicotine replacement medicine. This medicine is believed to be safer than smoking. However, the risks to your child from this medicine are not fully known. Do not use: if you continue to smoke, chew tobacco, use snuff, or use a nicotine gum or other nicotine containing products. Ask a doctor before use if you have: heart disease, recent heart attack, or irregular heartbeat. Nicotine can increase your heart rate; high blood pressure not controlled with medication. Nicotine can increase your blood pressure; an allergy to adhesive tape or have skin problems because you are more likely to get rashes. Ask a doctor or pharmacist before use if you are: using a non-nicotine stop smoking drug; taking a prescription medicine for depression or asthma. Your prescription dose may need to be adjusted. When using this product: do not smoke even when not wearing the patch. The nicotine in your skin will still be entering your blood stream for several hours after you take off the patch; if you have vivid dreams or other sleep disturbances remove this patch at bedtime. Stop use and ask a doctor if: skin redness caused by the patch does not go away after four days, or if you skin swells, or you get a rash; irregular heartbeat or palpitations occur; you get symptoms of nicotine overdose such as nausea, vomiting, dizziness, weakness and rapid heartbeat.
