We need to take control of our health and to educate ourselves.

Making health care about health — chicagotribune.com

As a young cardiologist, Steve Devries noticed a disturbing pattern: His patched-up heart patients kept returning for repairs. It happened so often that Devries decided there must be another way to advance patients’ health.

Today, his thriving Chicago practice focuses exclusively on preventing disease, and Devries is far more likely to counsel patients about diet, sleep habits and exercise than to prescribe high-tech scans or cholesterol-lowering drugs.

Motivated by a growing sense that America’s health care system is broken, doctors such as Devries and public health experts are turning to preventive medicine for a potential fix. And lawmakers, eager to curb rising health care costs, are paying close attention.
Extensive research documents the potential impact. In an April article in PLoS Medicine, an international peer-reviewed journal, researchers estimated that 191,000 fewer deaths would occur each year in the U.S. if people got more physical activity; 216,000 deaths forestalled if people were a normal weight instead of overweight or obese; and 467,000 deaths averted if people gave up smoking.
“My own opinion is we have to take natural supplements to neutralize all the toxins around us” 

Cucumber Pizza:  One medium sized cucumber.  Cut it in half and chop gently at the top of the cuts on each side.  Rub
these two cuts together vigorously until they foam.  (This removes the bitterness from the inside of the cucumber.)  
Rinse off the foam.  Slice the cucumber into rounds.  On top of the rounds place any or all of the following choices:  
Chopped black or green olives, chopped fresh basil, thinly sliced or chopped tomatoes, chopped red pepper, dill, Italian
spices, garlic salt.  Put on a plate and munch!

No More Ranch Dip:  Many people like to dip vegetables in horrible white toxic dressing.  Make your own dip with ¼ C. raw almond butter, 6 T. olive or roasted sesame oil, 1 T. lemon juice, 1 T. Agave Nectar, herbs to season.  Stir.
Sticks:  Julienne any of the following vegetables:  Red peppers, snow peas, cucumbers, carrots, squash, celery, Jicama  pronounced he-kama (most kids love this), sweet potatoes, and any vegetable (or fruit) that can be sliced into matchsticks.  May add a dressing (below) or leave plain for snacks.  Don’t be afraid to mix in some ants (raisins),
walnuts, or raw cacao.

Dressing: 1 C. Extra Virgin Olive Oil (fresh), 2-4 T. toasted sesame oil, 4 T. Bragg Aminos, Garlic (optional), 4 T. of
either Agave Nectar or Almond butter, 4 T. of Lime juice (may use lemon but it has a different taste), Herbs.  Stir.
Oreooos:  Peel and thinly slice raw sweet potatoes, yams, or apples.  Butter slices with almond butter, and top with
another slice.  May even mix the apples with the potatoes.  A great snack for after school.

Make sure your diet is healthy, exercise, Get at least 8 hours of sleep.Stress is a big factor affecting our health. Learn meditation. Try to change your attitude toward daily encounters with what we perceive as stressful.Don’t take yourself too seriously.One of the realities of today’s life is it is hard to eat the perfect diet and to avoid stress completely.That is why I suggest supplements and vitamins. The best ones are offered in Isotonic form by Market  America.One of them is OPC-3 Beauty Blend.

Sardines, herrings and anchovies: They’re good for you, good for the ocean

Chicago Tribune Oct 14 2009

Eco-conscious top chefs and home cooks are turning to smaller and lesser-known fish not only for environmental and health reasons but because they taste good. In so doing, they’re reviving interest in sardines, anchovies and herring — a fish trio long historically popular but also a nose-wrinkler for a good part of the past century.

Sardines particularly have taken off with chefs. They’re turning up on menus across the country.

Oily fish such as sardines, herrings and anchovies also generate interest because they contain heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, according to Kate McLaughlin, seafood program director for the Blue Ocean Institute, a conservation group based in East Norwich, N.Y.

Being low on the food chain and living on a diet of plankton, zooplankton and tiny fish, they also carry few of the metals and toxins found in the tissues of larger species. They live relatively short lives and reproduce prodigiously, keeping stocks high.

This support the Market America claim that their Omega 3 is the best because it is made from small fish sardines and anchovies harvested off the coast of Peru. Not only do anchovies and sardines have a high omega-3 content, they also have high percentages of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).

Almonds These yummy nuts are high in alpha-linolenic acid, which can accelerate your metabolism of fats. In fact, dieters who ate 3 ounces of almonds daily slashed their weight and body-mass index by 18 percent, while those who skipped the nuts reduced both numbers less— just 11 percent—a study in the International Journal of Obesity revealed. Chomp almonds à la carte (limit yourself to 12 per serving to keep calories in check). I get a pack at Starbucks and nibble throughout my day. Or sprinkle them into a recipe such as Black Bean–Almond Pesto Chicken. Go nuts!

Berries I tell my daughter, “These are nature’s candy!” Turns out they’re also your body’s best friends. Strawberries, raspberries and other vitamin C–spiked fruit can supercharge your workout, helping you burn up to 30 percent more fat, research from Arizona State University at Mesa has found. If they’re not in season, buy the little gems frozen in a bulk-sized bag so you’ll always have them on hand to whip up a Berry Bliss Smoothie or Strawberry-Sunflower Pops, regardless of whether berries are in season.

Cinnamon Adding 1/4 teaspoon to your plate may prevent an insulin spike—an uptick that tells your body to store fat. Sprinkle it on your morning cereal or coffee or on your yogurt in the A.M., or savor it in Apple-Cinnamon-Raisin Oatmeal.

Mustard It’s heaven on a soft pretzel, but mustard may also be a weight loss wonder. Turmeric, the spice that gives mustard its color, may slow the growth of fat tissues, a study in the journal Endocrinology finds. Use it on sandwiches instead of mayo, or sprinkle turmeric on cauliflower pre-roasting to give it a kick. Try it on tuna salad—I promise it adds zest.

Oranges This citrus fruit, which contains fat-blasting compounds known as flavones, deserves to be your main squeeze. Women who ate the most flavones had a much lower increase in body fat over a 14-year period, a study in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition notes. Eat oranges sliced or swig fresh OJ (including pulp!) to get the best benefit from the fruit.

Soybeans Reason to toss a half cup on your salad? Soybeans are rich in choline, a compound that blocks the absorption of fat and breaks down fatty deposits. Oh, and they’re addictively delish! But if breast cancer runs in your family, experts suggest you should talk to your doc before adding soy to your diet.

Sweet potatoes The colorful spuds’ high-fiber content means they keep your insulin steadier than their white sisters, which means less fat packed on your hips, research finds. Top a small baked tater with lowfat cottage cheese for a tempting side dish, or whip up Miso Soup With Sweet Potato Dumplings.

Swiss cheese Calcium-rich foods reduce fat-producing enzymes and increase fat breakdown, and Swiss has more calcium than many of its cheesy peers. Choose the reduced-fat variety, such as Sargento. Slip it into your sandwich, put it on top of high-fiber crackers or use it for a healthier grilled cheese. Yum!

This is very useful for us. But considering all the chemical around us and the difficalty of maintaining the perfect diet we use natural supplements and vitamins.

Take Vitamin D
Vitamin D is produced in the body during exposure to sunlight. During the winter we tend to get less exposure so vitamin D supplements are recommended. People who take vitamin D supplements have better luck avoiding the seasonal flu; there is no reason to think that it won’t do the same for H1N1 virus.
Flu outbreaks tend to occur in places where solar radiation is low.
Stay hydrated
During the winter months we have a tendency to lose fluids when our heated homes and dry air rob us of moisture. You’ll know if you are hydrated if your urine is a clear pale yellow. Dark yellow is a sign that your urine is concentrated and you need to drink more.
Get out in open space
Cold weather usually brings us indoors, sometimes in close proximity to a crowd of people who may be unknowingly infected. Spend some time outdoors and get some fresh air.
Keep fit
Aerobic activity improves the exchange of oxygen to keep the immune system strong and lungs clear.
Just remember to wipe down equipment at the gym before and after using.
Eat your greens … and blues and oranges …
Dark and colorful fruits and vegetables are loaded with immune boosting phytochemicals. Plant a rainbow on your plate and dig in!
Eat probiotics
Probiotics are the good live bacteria found in fermented food products such as yogurt and soy products like miso and tempeh Eating these foods not only promotes the natural balance of healthy bacteria important for digestive health, it can stimulate the production of immune fighting chemicals from cells
found in the gut.
