Eating to destroy harmful germs...

Garlic is known as “the poor person’s” antibiotic. I call it the smart person’s adaptogen. Not only will it help you live young, but it will also protect against a whole host of biological “nasties” including TB. A new infection of TB occurs at a rate of one per second! Western Medicine contributes to this by yielding drug-resistant strains.
Garlic is different. Thanks to its adaptogenic effects, the active ingredients provide super powers to the whole immune system, allowing us to eradicate “nasties” as they enter our system — and before they can replicate into resistant strains.
And garlic can be made even more potent when it is enhanced with the adaptogenic herb, andrographis.

Citrus Magic

An apple keeps the doctor away, but an orange a day may keep fine lines and flaky skin at bay. Researchers discovered that women 40 and older who had great amounts of C were 11% less likely to develop wrinkles. The recommended dosage amount is 75 milligrams, which is the equivalent of a glass of grapefruit juice.

Eat More Omega-3 Fatty Acids

Don't just slap anything with fins onto your plate: You want fatty fish, such as salmon, sardines, and lake trout. They contain the omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA, which many studies show help prevent sudden death from heart attack. Omega-3s may also help ward off depression, Alzheimer's disease, and age-related macular degeneration, a leading cause of blindness—and maybe some cancers. For better skin take 1,000 mg of omega-3 oils a day—this is also the recommended dosage to keep your heart in tip-top shape.

Eat to stay young!!!

Did you know that yams have a natural estrogen that helps keep skin firm, and that green tea is not only high in the powerful antioxidant EGCG, but those who drink it on a consistent basis have less sun-related skin damage? Turn back the clock with these supermarket finds to keep you feeling and looking younger.

Protect Your Heart Like The Mediterraneans

Just three months of Mediterranean-style eating in one recent study improved blood sugar, blood pressure and cholesterol in people at high risk of heart disease. Olive Oil, leafy greens, nuts, tomatoes and red wine are just a few common ingredients in Mediterranean food that are rich in antioxidants, phytochemicals and vitamins that keep you looking good from the inside out.
