Wheatgrass is a well known superfood!! It provides amino acids, vitamins, minerals, chlorophyll and enzymes… Its benefits include: increased red-blood cell count, lower blood pressure and cleansing of the blood and organs! Recent research has found that wheatgrass also heals ulcerative colitis and may offer remarkable benefits to breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.
Wheatgrass contains NO GLUTEN!!!
Studies have found similar effects in resveratrol consumption with those associated with calorie restriction!!!
Already known for it’s cancer fighting and anti-inflammatory benefits (among many others), resveratrol should be a part of everyone’s daily supplement intake!!!
A recent study reported in the Lancet found that regular aspirin use reduces the risk of some hereditary cancers by as much as 50%!!!
Aspirin therapy can have numerous health benefits but there are also some risks associated with it! You should talk to your Dr in order to determine if you’re a good candidate…
Magnesium is a mineral not made in our body and therefore “essential” to be plentiful in our diet in order to maintain optimum health!!! Some of the functions or magnesium include: relaxing nerves and muscles, making new cells, activating B vitamins, clotting blood, and energy production. Magnesium also assists in the absorption of calcium, vitamin C and potassium.
Recently researchers have found a correlation between eating a diet high in magnesium rich foods and reduced risk of stroke!!! Considering stroke is the third leading cause of death in the U.S. you might want to know that magnesium rich foods include: Pumpkin seeds, Spinach, Swiss Chard, Kale, Sesame Seeds, Black Beans, Almonds, Cashews, and Sunflower Seeds to name a few…
Rebounding (bouncing on a trampoline) offers many remarkable benefits. The most interesting to me has to be its incredible effect on our lymphatic system which is responsible for carrying nutrients to cells and taking waste (toxins) away from them. Our lymphatic system doesn’t have a pump and is totally dependent on physical exercise to move. Therefore, without movement; our cells are left in their own waste products and starving for nutrients!! The main lymph vessels run up the legs, arms and torso hence the reason the up and down motion of rebounding is so effective in pumping the lymph.
Rebounding is a magnificent way to boost immune function and response!!! Try it!!!
