The Best Oil for Your Health (and You've Never Heard of It)

By Kelley Herring

If you think all vegetable oil is created equal, think again.

In fact, if you're using the wrong oils in your cooking, you could be aging faster than you should, developing serious hormonal problems, "gumming" up your pipes, and even encouraging cancer.

Today, I'd like to introduce you to one of the healthiest oils you can eat - avocado oil.

Here are four good reasons to stock up on this age-defying ingredient:

• Trim your tummy. Avocado oil is one of the richest sources of monounsaturated fats on the planet. These healthy fats help lower insulin (aka, the fat storage hormone) and help reduce belly fat.

• Saute safely. Thanks to having a flashpoint of 500 degrees F, this full-flavored oil is excellent for cooking at high temperatures.

• Up your antioxidants. Avocado oil enables your body to absorb 17 times more carotenoids - the powerful antioxidants that give your salad its vibrant green, yellow, and red colors and guard your cells from free radical damage.

• Guard your vision. Avocado oil has twice as much lutein as olive oil. Lutein is a nutrient that provides strong protection against macular degeneration - the leading cause of blindness.

With so many delicious uses - and so many reasons to use it - you need to make this "miracle" oil a mainstay in your healing kitchen. Look for the Olivado brand at Target.

[Ed Note: Most so-called "healthy" oils are loaded with free radicals, just waiting to be drizzled on your salad so they can attack your DNA. But if you're a savvy shopper, you can spot them from a Texas mile. Kelley Herring's new book, Your Plate, Your Fate, will show you how.]

Hope you enjoyed Kelley's article, I'm heade to Target!!

High Blood Pressure? Get More of This Mineral

By Kelley Herring

High blood pressure? Drop the mercury a notch by getting more potassium in your diet.

In a recent scientific review published in the Journal of Clinical Hypertension, researchers evaluated the literature for blood pressure studies on potassium, calcium, and magnesium. While all three of these nutrients help lower blood pressure, potassium was found to be of special importance. In fact, those getting the most potassium in their diets had the healthiest blood pressure levels.

It isn't just that Americans consume too little potassium (about half the recommended daily allowance), but also that we get too much sodium (about twice the RDA). Because potassium and sodium have opposing roles in the body, too much sodium and too little potassium is a recipe for high blood pressure.

Here are three ways to help get your blood pressure into a healthy range:

• Steer clear of processed foods and plain table salt. Base your meals on fresh, whole foods and choose to season with herbs and spices. When you do use salt, use Celtic Sea Salt - a pure, natural salt that provides a balance of minerals, not just sodium.

• Enjoy more potassium-rich foods like avocados, beans, lentils, Swiss chard, spinach, and cremini mushrooms.

• Because most whole-foods multivitamins provide very little potassium, consider taking a potassium supplement (like potassium citrate) to get the 4.7 grams per day recommended by the Institute of Medicine.

Summer-Ready Body in 10 Minutes a Day - No Gym Required!

By Yarixa Ferrao

Don't tell me you feel embarrassed to put on a bathing suit... and then tell me you don't have time for exercise. That's NOT a good excuse. You can do a high-intensity workout in less than 10 minutes. Better yet, you can do it at home or in your office, between meetings, while the laundry is drying, or after lunch. All it takes is a dynamic warm-up, 3 to 4 full-body exercises, and a couple of minutes of stretching afterward.
The Squat-to-Press is one quick and efficient exercise that will get your body ready to hit the beach in no time. It requires two dumbbells - 3, 5, or 10 pounds, depending on your fitness level. Focus on your core while you do it, keeping your abdominals tight.

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and a dumbbell in each hand. Bend your arms up toward your shoulders, palms facing toward each other. Lower your body into a squat position. Your knees should not bow out over your toes. Your chest should almost touch the top of your thighs, and your elbows should nearly touch your knees.
Now, pressing up through your heels, rise to a standing position. At the same time, reach your arms up straight above your head. Contract your glute muscles at the top of the movement. Then return to a squat position, lowering your arms to their original position. Repeat 10 times.

Alternate high-intensity, full-body exercises like the Squat-to-Press with sprints (1-10 sets of 50 to 100 yards) for the next 4 to 6 weeks, 3 to 6 times a week. If you're a beginner, start with 1-2 sets 3 days a week and gradually increase by adding either an extra set or an extra sprint each week for the next 4 to 6 weeks.

Relaxed Mind - Relaxed Body

By Matt Furey

It is imperative that you learn to relax, physically and mentally.
Why is this? Because a mind that is filled with stress cannot easily transfer a positive mental picture to your subconscious.

The good news is that regardless of how much stress you feel, you can learn to relax very quickly. Regardless of how much of yesterday you are carrying into today, you can get yourself to emotionally unwind and let go within seconds.

One of the fastest ways is to pay attention to your breathing.

Watch yourself breathe. Inhale deeply. Pay attention to the air filling your lungs. Exhale deeply. Feel the bad energy leaving your body.

After a few deep breaths you'll wonder where all the mental stress went - and once you get your muscles to simply "let go," you're ready to work on improving your self-image. You're ready to begin building the NEW YOU - the person you instinctively know you can be, the person you really really want to be.

It's a great idea to visualize the new you for a few minutes just before dropping off to sleep. But be careful. Avoid the temptation to lie down for your "Theatre of the Mind" session. Sit up in bed or on the side of the bed with your feet on the floor. This will help you avoid falling asleep before you get to the highlights.

If you visualize before you fall asleep your subconscious mind will work on your goals while you're in a dream state. And that's a wonderful thing to know.

If you doubt that what you think about before sleep will have an effect on you the next day, consider this. Most people go to bed with a final thought of "I'm tired." Hence, they wake up tired.

The very first time you say to yourself, "Tomorrow I'm going to wake up feeling totally energized and refreshed" - you will discover that you no longer wake up feeling tired.
Try it if you don't believe me. I dare you.

Here's another example of how you bring ideas into your dream state:

Yesterday I was practicing my kung fu form in the park. When I got halfway through, I had a surprising revelation. I remembered how I was practicing some improvements I wanted to make in my form while in my dream state. And there I was, doing my form in the waking state with the improvements in place.

I didn't consciously try to make those improvements. They happened subconsciously while I was dreaming and carried over to my waking state.

Made me wonder... in which state am I getting more accomplished?

Does Being "Slightly" Overweight Matter?

By Jon Benson

"It's just a few extra pounds."
Or is it?

In the 2008 Physician's Health Study, researchers tracked 21,094 male doctors for two decades. They found that even those who were only modestly overweight had a higher risk for heart disease, and the risk grew along with the amount of extra weight.

The average age of the men at the outset of the study was 53. During the study, 1,109 of them developed heart failure. Overall, the risk of heart failure increased by an average of 180 percent in those who met the definition of obesity as measured by body mass index (with a BMI of 30 or higher), and by an average of 49 percent in those who met the definition of overweight (with a BMI of 25 to 30).

And what about "all those hours" needed for exercise?

Yet another myth busted by the study: "As far as vigorous physical activity is concerned, even if somebody said they exercised one to three times per month - which is a very low level of exercise - they had an 18 percent reduction in the risk of heart failure after accounting for all other established risk factors," said head researcher Dr. Satish Kenchaiah.

It's time to get serious about losing that little bit of flab. Long-term studies like this one show how beneficial it can be.

Change Your Pace

By Matt Furey

One of the best things you can do when you exercise is vary the pace.Sometimes you train as fast as you can - provided you can do it with good form. You run hill sprints. You skip rope. You crack out a set of powerful push-ups.Sometimes you train at a moderate speed - walking, swimming, bear crawling, or duck waddling.

At other times you train at a slow or even super-slow speed. You concentrate on the FEEL of the exercise - inside your body as well as in your muscles.

And just for the thrill of it, you even train at no speed - holding postures while focusing on your breathing and the flow of energy.

Recently, I taught a group of men and women my "No-Rep Workout."

That's right. NO REPS.

What you do is get into a horse stance or the wall chair position and hold it while breathing in a specific way.

Then you get into push-up position and hold yourself in the halfway-down position.

After this, you get into a back bridge (sometimes mistakenly referred to as a "neck" bridge). As you hold this position, you focus on your breathing and stay relaxed. And you feel your legs, your hips and buttocks, your lower and middle back, your neck as well as your abdominals get the workout of their life.

These three exercises have the power to change your physique very quickly. In fact, they can work so well that you may feel as if you'd turned fat into muscle - which we've been told is a biological impossibility.

3 Supplements That Can Help Treat Osteoarthritis

By Dr. Ray Sahelian

Over the past few years, there have been numerous studies regarding the role of glucosamine and chondroitin as a treatment for osteoarthritis. Most, but not all, show that these natural nutrients are beneficial, including a new Japanese study.

The Japanese researchers gave 46 osteoarthritis and 22 rheumatoid arthritis patients a combination supplement of 1,200 mg of glucosamine hydrochloride, 100 mg of chondroitin (from 300 mg of shark cartilage), and 45 mg of quercetin. The patients took the supplement orally, every day for three months. Those with osteoarthritis showed a significant improvement in pain symptoms, daily activities (walking and climbing up and down stairs), and changes in the synovial fluid properties. No such effects were observed in those with rheumatoid arthritis.
Quercetin supplements are available by themselves and can be taken together with a joint formula that has chondroitin and glucosamine.

[Ed. Note: For more on glucosamine, chondroitin, and quercetin - and dozens of other nutritional supplements - visit the natural healing website of Ray Sahelian, MD, at www.raysahelian.com. You can also purchase a joint-health supplement straight from Dr. Sahelian by clicking here.
