Cherry Juice - Cheery News

It has been reported that one glass of cherry juice contains more antioxidants than over 20 portions of fruit and vegetables. It is well known that antioxidants offset free radicals, which if left unchecked can lead to serious diseases, including cardiovascular problems, cancer and also lead to premature aging. In fact, it was established in a recent television documentary, that people who live the longest, frequently take antioxidants to the extent of 6000, Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) units per day.

It seems that all cherries are not equal and do not have the same effect. Maximum benefits are obtained from Montmorency tart cherries that are grown in the United States. The cherries common to other countries, including the UK, are not nearly so rich in antioxidants as the US variety, which isn't to say that they are not a useful dietary aid. However, they contain only about a fifth of the antioxidants found in the Montmorency cherry juice, which is available from health food stores in other countries, under the name of CherryActive.

Tart cherries, which are otherwise known as sour, red cherries, or pie cherries are renowned as ingredients in delicious desserts. If Montmorency cherry juice is as good for you as recent studies suggest, it seems that it could be so uplifting as to be called 'cheery' juice! There is so much written about diets and supplements these days and some of it is hard to swallow! That does not apply to Montmorency tart cherries that seem to be readily available in a most palatable form. Some people feel guilty about following a main meal with a dessert, but recent research into tart cherries may have let them off the hook!

Allergy Testing News

There is no doubt that food allergies have increased significantly, in the last decade, but it is gratifying to learn that continuing research is working hard to combat the threat.

Please Click Here to visit the, Allergy-Check Web Site

Allergies are a real problem to all sufferers, but particular so to young children with less understanding of their condition. Research into ways of reducing the risks associated with testing procedures are welcome. In this respect the following report is very interesting:

"Right now, the only way to definitively diagnose a food allergy is to feed a child some of the suspected food at a hospital so they can get prompt treatment if they have a serious reaction.

But immunologists at Dalhousie University’s medical school are working with doctors at the IWK Health Centre in Halifax to devise a laboratory test that could identify allergies without exposing a child to risk.

In department head Jean Marshall’s lab, researchers can grow the mast cells involved in allergic responses, add serum from a patient’s body, introduce the food and watch what happens.

'If we develop a new diagnostic test here, it will get used here first,' she said in a recent interview. 'So it will impact on treatment very quickly.'

Rates of food allergies have increased substantially over the last 10 years, with the highest incidence in North America, the United Kingdom and Australia, Ms. Marshall said."

Herbal Remedies - Mosquitoes

A very interesting article has emerged from the Malaysian National News Agency, regarding herbal ways to combat mosquitoes, and the diseases they cause.

It is reported that Dr Nor Azah and others, at the Forest Research Institute of Malaysia, are looking into the use of herbs and spices as ways of repelling the insects. It seems that as insect behavior is significantly related to aroma, essential oils could be developed for use as insect repellents.

Please Click Here to visit the Herbal Remedies Web Site.

Important research work is continuing with scent-producing plants, and it is fascinating for all who are interested in natural health to learn of such promising studies. There is a worldwide interest in aromatherapy, herbal remedies, and other matters concerning natural health, and it seems that these studies present another area where nature can spring to our defense.

An extract from the article is reproduced below:

"POTENTIAL OF HERBS AND SPICES

Dr Nor Azah suggested the possibility of using herbs and spices, whose essential oils are able to repel insects, be used in insecticides,

This is due to the presence of monoterpenoids like limonene, citronellol, geraniol and citronellal that have been reported as having insect repellant properties.

'As aroma play an important role towards controlling the insects behaviour, essential oils can be used as insect repellents', she said.

From FRIM's research, a number of essential oils such as Cymbopogon nardus, Litsea eliptica, Melaleuca cajuputi and Cinnamomum spp demonstrates repellent properties against the Aedes agyptii mosquito.

She said essential oils from other plants, reported to be able to repel insects are that from geranium (Pelargonium citrosum), sandalwood (Aquilaria malaccensis) and Sweet Basil (Ocimum spp).

'There are other aromatic species that can be found in the Malaysian forest or that cultivated in parks for their medicinal properties and culinary reasons. Essential oils from these species are also preferred by the essential oil industry,' said Dr Nor Azah, who has been with FRIM since 1987."

About Aromatherapy

As a name 'Aromatherapy', was first coined in the 1920's, by the French chemist, Rene Maurice Gattefosse. There are reports that after his arm was set ablaze in his laboratory, he plunged it into a nearby vessel of cold fluid, which as it happened to contain lavender oil. Much to his surprise the burn completely healed and there was no scarring. Thereafter, he devoted his life to studying aromatherapy, which is concerned with the use of essential oils, and related aromatic extracts from plants, leaves, flowers, and seeds, to therapeutically affect the body and mind.

Since those days, aromatherapy has become internationally recognized, as the art and science of using essential oils for natural healing, to assist the body's remedial processes. Defined as being a science and an art, with important health implications, those who practice aromatherapy must be professionally qualified. It is essential that they should take part in basic, and ongoing quality training, to meet the needs of the aromatherapy profession.

Herbal Remedies Are Not A Quick Fix

Please Click Here to visit the Herbal Remedies Web Site.

Herbal treatment is not a quick fix or a magic bullet, but support for a natural health lifestyle. It is concerned with prevention as well as cure by creating a balance in natural health. Some herbal preparations assist with maintaining a balanced lifestyle, whilst others are most useful when imbalances do arise. In common with conventional medicine, expert guidance is vital, but it is accessible from a variety of sources including, personal consultation, libraries, natural health magazines, the Internet, quality newspapers and elsewhere.

Please click here, The New Straits Times Online to read a very interesting article.

"NO one would have expected a Mat Salleh to be one of the first to market Tongkat Ali in Malaysia, but that's what Benjamin Scott Drewe did.
More than 10 years ago, this Australian herbalist registered one of the first lines of Tongkat Ali products in Malaysia.

Drewe, who has lived in Malaysia for more than 20 years, says he's been attracted to the study of herbs since his teenage years.

'Growing up in an organic farm, it was easy to find my passion at an early age,' says Drewe, the managing director of Asia Botanicals.

'I take pride in building people's trust in herbs. Herbal remedies are based on scientific research.
'Things have changed since 'Grandma's days'. Today we use science and technology to show the mechanism of herbs.'"

Allergies - Something In The Air

There was a very interesting article in 'USA Today' about allergies, and some of the environmental causes, including global warming:

"If you have respiratory allergies, you have an environmental problem: There's something in the air that makes you sniffle, sneeze, stuff up or wheeze.

And growing evidence suggests your problem may be linked with the biggest environmental problem of all: global climate change."

"We've got really good evidence now that environment matters," says Jay Portnoy, a Kansas City, Mo., allergist and president of the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology. "Just taking a pill is not going to solve your problem."

Mark Dykewicz, chief of allergy and clinical immunology at St. Louis University School of Medicine, agrees: "Allergen avoidance is Job One."

Allergens are the things that trigger symptoms: the pollens and molds outside; the dust mites, molds, pet dander and insect droppings inside. Different people have different triggers and need different environmental control strategies.

Many are common sense: If pollen bothers you, check daily counts (at www.aaai.org) and stay inside with your windows closed when they peak. If you go outside, shower before bedtime.

Avoiding indoor trouble-makers takes more work. But research suggests it's worth the bother, if sufferers take multiple steps. "Doing one thing isn't enough," Portnoy says. Measures that may help:

•Control dust mites by keeping indoor humidity below 50%, putting mite-proof covers on pillows and mattresses, washing bedding in hot water, removing carpets from bedrooms, using products that kill or deactivate mites and using a cyclonic vacuum cleaner or one with a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter. Room air cleaners with HEPA filters also can help.

• Reduce indoor mold by finding and repairing leaks and making sure bathrooms, basements and kitchens are well ventilated.

• If you can't part with a pet that causes allergies, at least keep the pet out of your bedroom."

Pine Bark - Natural Health Antioxidant

Pine bark extract has long been known to be a powerful antioxidant, which has been used in folk medicine in many different countries. More recently it is marketed as Pycnogenol® which has been found to be among the best antioxidants along with vitamins C and E.

It seems that Pycnogenol is particularly good, as it also prolongs life span of vitamin C in the body, making it even more valuable.

You may be aware that antioxidants are nutrients that are present in some foods, chiefly fruit and vegetables. They protect the human body from oxidation, or free radical damage, that can result in serious diseases.

It has been established, that the best antioxidants help to protect against some of the worst health problems known to mankind, including heart disease and some forms of cancer. It is in everybody's health interests, to have sufficient amounts of the best antioxidants in their diets, to support a healthy lifestyle.

Pycnogenol is obtained from the bark of the French pine, Pinus pinaster, which is native to the Atlantic coast of France and beyond. Teas containing the pine have been used by generations of Europeans, and it is used in Asian medicine as well.

It seems that there are many flavonoids in Pycnogenol that assist with the antioxidant process. It is considered to be a valuable natural health supplement in respect of which there has been a great deal of research. Studies are continuing to delve even further into its usefulness in promoting natural health.

Please Click Here to visit the Allergy-Check Web Site

Recent figures suggest that more people than ever are suffering from Hay Fever.

Allergic Rhinitis, or Hay Fever as it is more commonly known, has increased by a third during the period 2001-2005.

Researchers have suggested, that the increase is partly due to an increase of awareness by doctors, and also to a real increase in the actual condition.

Natural Health and Blackberries

One of the great joys, for families in late summer in Great Britain, is to go blackberrying. It may not be quite so popular as it once was, but that is a pity because blackberries are a wonderful source of natural health.

Blackberries are among the best sources of antioxidants of any fruits, and that alone makes a blackberry picking expedition more than just worthwhile. Moreover, these delicious berries are also rich in vitamin C, and about a half a cupful, provides the recommended daily requirement.



Please Click Here to visit the Herbal Remedies Web Site.



On a blackberry picking expedition many of the plumpest berries are devoured before reaching the collection basket. They are so delicious that you hardly need to be told that they are doing you good. It's not sneaky to eat a few, because you would need to be strong willed, or even silly to resist the temptation. At peak times there are plenty for all, but perhaps less these days, when some hedgerows have given way to more expansive farming methods.



Of course blackberry picking is not restricted to simply picking, or eating the fruits. It involves a trip to the countryside, which might be nearer or farther depending on where you live. However, the opportunity of breathing in lungfuls of fresh air, whilst engaging in the supremely satisfying endeavour of gathering the fruits, is immensely rewarding.



You usually arrive home with far more blackberries than you have eaten. They are available for superb home made jams, or wonderful pies, either on their own, or mixed with other seasonal fruits such as apples. You will be reminded of your excursion to the bramble bushes for weeks to come, as jam is not called a preserve for nothing. Blackberry time exemplifies what natural health is all about. Fresh air, natural food, and outdoor exercise are basic ingredients of healthy living.

Natural Health Is Common Sense

Natural health and common sense are essential components of a happy life. The ingredients are good food, plenty of fresh air, enjoyable exercise and enough sleep. If you only concentrate on these four requirements you will soon score quite highly in the natural health league.

Good food doesn't have to be expensive. If you make sure that you are getting sufficient fruit and vegetables, a minimum of five helpings per day, you will be on the right track. You should incorporate a modicum of healthy exercise into your sensible diet by growing some of your own food. Fruit and vegetables are not difficult to grow but can be so much more satisfying than those you purchase from the supermarket.



You may have a decent sized garden that allows you to develop a vegetable plot, but if you haven't you could think about trying to get an allotment. Where there's a will there's a way, as they say, and your endeavours could pay huge natural health dividends.



Some people may not sleep very well, but a bit of digging and forking is conducive to helping out in this respect. Its not only an excellent way of relaxing exercise but a great way of getting away from the stresses of working days. In fact it is tiring without being tiresome, helping to ensure that when you retire sleep is assured.

Green Tea Diet Appraisal

Green tea diet has been popular, for many thousands of years in Asia, where it is highly regarded for its health benefits. More recently it has become popular in many other parts of the world, including Western nations although some of its claimed health advantages have not been fully validated.

There is no doubt that green tea diet contains powerful antioxidants, and that in itself might be sufficient reason for many people to consume it. Many others believe that it has assisted them with their weight loss programs, and if that is the case it is easy to monitor insofar as individual progress is concerned. In fact as far as losing weight is concerned the scientific evidence for green tea diet is good,

As with any diet, the best way forward is not to rely entirely on a single supplement as a sort of magic bullet, but to include green tea diet as part of a total fitness schedule. Surely the idea of a diet is not just to be slimmer but to be fitter as well.

So, it seems that green tea diet is certainly a supplement to consider because some of its health benefits have stood the test of time. It is a natural product, and its growing international popularity may be due to its lack of the harmful side effects, associated with some contemporary products.

Green Tea Is A Remarkable Beverage

It is not always the case that dieting includes your favorite beverage, such as green tea, but it can happen.

For thousands of years green tea has been a preferred beverage for many Asians, who also cherish its reported health advantages. More recently, studies were undertaken by Swiss and American scientists at the University of Geneva. They concluded that antioxidants, present in green tea, were able to stimulate thermo genesis, or fat metabolism, as it is otherwise known. Consequently diets that included sufficient green tea were considered to be useful in reducing weight.

Further studies were undertaken in China, to substantiate green teas weight reducing capabilities. They also wanted to find out whether green tea could assist with reducing cholesterol. Their tests confirmed that green tea could significantly reduce cholesterol levels, which further enhanced its reputation in natural health circles.

From the above studies, it can be assumed that green tea is useful for treating obesity. Green tea also contains catechin polyphenols that are believed to impede the reaction of gastric and pancreatic lipases. These enzymes are concerned with the storing of calories into fats in the body. Through its reaction with such enzymes, green tea may reduce fat concentration, which may support its use in preventing obesity.

Green tea is a remarkable beverage that is considered to benefit health in a number of ways. More recently it has been discovered that it can also help in preventing damage due to ultraviolet light radiation. There are many people who have switched from more traditional teas and other beverages to green tea. It may be something of an acquired taste but when you consider its reported health advantages there is everything to gain from giving it a try, and seemingly nothing to lose.

Methods to Stop Smoking

There all sorts of ways to stop smoking and they differ in success rates depending on the people involved. There are some who prefer to reduce the amount they smoke before they stop smoking completely, while others are adamant that "cold turkey" is the only successful route. Many smokers are helped with nicotine replacement products such as patches, lozenges, inhalers, and gum. Some of these aids may be available on prescription, depending on whereabouts in the world you live.

Additionally, there are lots of alternative methods to help you to stop smoking, such as aromatherapy to promote feelings of tranquility and peace, acupuncture (insertion of special needles into meridian centers of the body), meditation to induce feelings of calmness and peace, programs like Nicotine Anonymous (comparable to the better known and highly regarded Alcoholics Anonymous), and hypnotism to strengthen your resolve to stop smoking.

Natural Health - Super Green Tea Diet

Historically, the Chinese Emperor Shen Nung is credited with having been the first person to discover the many benefits of green tea. Legend has it that when he was boiling some water, leaves from an adjacent plant dropped into his pot. The result was the highly respected herbal drink, known as green tea that is now internationally recognized.

Green tea was highly regarded in Asia for thousands of years before Westerners became fully aware of its benefits. Eventually they did so and Natures Bounty, who are America's biggest manufacturer of quality vitamins and related health goods, produced Super Green Tea Diet. They claim that Super Green Tree Diet can assist with boosting energy, and also promoting weight loss when combined with the right diet and suitable exercise.

It is claimed that a Super Green Tea Diet capsule facilitates workout and diet. It seems that Super Green Tea Diet can help to burn calories by promoting sugar and fat metabolism. Research shows that the catechin polyphenols, present in Super Green Tea Diet, supplements interact with other antioxidants in the process of thermogenesis, which is related to the burning of body-fat and increasing metabolism.
