Eat strawberries, fight cancer

Strawberry is one of the many fruits that can help battle cancer, the Department of Science and Technology (DoST) said Saturday. Strawberries contain phytonutrients and antioxidants that fight free radicals which transform to chemicals that damage cells and contribute to certain kinds of cancer. Used in cakes, ice cream, juices, creams, and other cold desserts, strawberries are rich in Vitamin C. A cup of these luscious fruit satisfies 140 percent of our required daily dose of Vitamin C. According to a study published in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases, Vitamin C from fresh fruits and vegetables can lower the risk of developing polyarthritis, an inflammation of the joints. Those who consume low amounts of Vitamin C are more likely to develop inflammatory polyarthritis. They can prevent the decline of motor and cognitive skills related to Alzheimer's disease, lower the occurrence of gout, stabilize blood glucose, protect against macular degeneration, improve wound healing, reduce wrinkles, alleviate varicose veins, strengthen the gums, and melt gallstones. Strawberries have a very low shelf life. It can only stay fresh for a day, but if refrigerated, it can stay fresh for about three to four days.

How To Eat Your Way To Better Skin

0 comments
Share |

If you want a flawless complexion, what you put into your mouth is as important as what you put on your face.

You Will Need:

Wild fish
Walnuts
Peanut butter
Water
Multivitamins
Biotin supplements
Cooked tomatoes

Step 1: Eat more fish

Eat more cold-water fish, like salmon, mackerel, trout, herring, sardines, and tuna. They’re all rich in omega-3 fatty acids, whose anti-inflammatory properties keep wrinkles at bay.

TIP: Make sure the fish is wild, not farm-raised.

Step 2: Snack on walnuts

Snack on walnuts, which are also an excellent source of omega-3’s.

Step 3: Have a PB&J

Have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich—just make sure the bread is whole wheat and the jelly is added sparingly. Peanut butter is a rich source of omega-6 fatty acids, which come in a close second to omega-3’s when it comes to protecting skin from aging. Avocadoes are good source of omega-6, too.

TIP: Make sure to eat some “good” fats every day. Too little fat leads to dry, flaky skin.

Step 4: Stay hydrated

Stay hydrated—and keep skin smooth—by drinking lots of water and cutting back on dehydrating beverages containing caffeine and alcohol. Aim for half your body weight in ounces of water every day.

Step 5: Take vitamins

Take a daily multivitamin, which will ensure that your skin is getting enough Vitamin K and zinc; both help your skin cells repair themselves. And take a biotin supplement; many women who take it to strengthen their nails and hair say it improves the texture of their skin, too.

Step 6: Eat less sugar

Studies show sugar causes sagging and wrinkling by attaching itself to the collagen and elastin in skin, causing it to become brittle and break. Sugar also causes dark, under-eye circles.

TIP: Choose green apples over red. They release smaller amounts of sugar.

Step 7: Go easy on the dairy

Go easy on the dairy. Some evidence suggests that a dairy-free diet can help eliminate acne.

Step 8: Cook some tomatoes

Cook a big pot of tomato sauce. Cooked tomatoes release lycopene and other antioxidants that prevent skin damage. Mangia!

TRIVIA: Humans shed about nine pounds of dead skin cells a year.

How To Quit Smoking

0 comments

You say you want to feel better, live longer, and even have a little extra cash on hand? Easy. Just quit smoking.

You Will Need:

Paper and pen
Gum and lollipops
Willpower
Calendar
Nicotine gum
Prescription drug
Hypnosis

Step 1: Ready yourself

Ready yourself. Make a particular day your quit day. Don’t deviate from this plan.

TIP: Psych yourself up by making a list of all the reasons to quit—you’ll be healthier, develop fewer wrinkles, have nicer breath, save money, and you won’t be subjecting people to second-hand smoke.

Step 2: Write down smoking triggers

Write down your smoking triggers. When you drink? After dinner? With coffee? Knowing what prompts you to smoke can help you quit.

Step 3: List health risks

List all the health risks associated with smoking—such as stroke, heart disease, several types of cancer, ulcers, diabetes, eye diseases, and osteoporosis.

TIP: Remind yourself that there are more than 4,000 chemicals in cigarettes, some of which are used in insect and rat poisons!

Step 4: Tell friends & family

Tell your friends and family about your decision. They can encourage you, plus you’re less likely to back out if others know your goal.

Step 5: Call stop smoking line

Call your state’s stop smoking line for free advice, nicotine substitutes, and a plan.

Step 6: Buy gum or lollipops

Buy lots of gum or lollipops. When you have a craving for a cigarette, suck on a lollipop or chew some gum.

Step 7: Keep busy

Keep busy so your mind doesn’t start craving a cigarette. Begin a project or new hobby.

TIP: If you experience severe withdrawal—with symptoms such as intense cravings, tension, irritability, headaches, drowsiness, or trouble sleeping—consult your physician about the possibility of using a nicotine patch.

Step 8: Mark achievements

Keep going. Mark your achievements on a calendar: one day smoke-free, one week, one month, and so on. Use your calendar as motivation.

Step 9: Prepare for relapses

Be prepared for difficult situations or even relapses. If you relapse, start the process over.

Step 10: Try prescription drug

If willpower isn’t working for you, ask your doctor if you might be a good candidate for a prescription drug that may help you quit – like Zyban, also known as the antidepressant Wellbutrin.

TIP: Some people swear by hypnosis; that’s how Courteney Cox, Billy Joel, and Drew Barrymore kicked the habit.

Step 11: Enjoy healthier life

Enjoy a healthier, happier and better-smelling life.

TRIVIA: More than 400,000 deaths in the U.S. each year are caused by smoking-related illnesses.
