Pancreas Protection Made Delicious

Pack some onions and arugula betwixt your veggie or turkey burger and bun today. It's a delicious way to help protect your pancreas.

Seems these two veggies not only add tasty, gourmet-style crunch to food but also fill you up with potent nutrients thought to help thwart pancreatic cancer.


Dynamic Trio:

In an 8-year study, people who consumed the highest levels of three powerful flavonols -- kaempferol, quercetin, and myricetin -- reduced their risk of pancreatic cancer by 23 percent. Not too shabby. And no doubt due to the fact that this super trio of flavonols helps quell oxidative stress, a cell-damaging process that, left unchecked, may pave the way for cancer and other bad health news.

Other Super Sources: Onions and certain leafy greens like arugula are one way to get these particular flavonols.

Here are some others:

Kaempferol: kale, swiss chard, endive, raw spinach, chives, and white beans
Quercetin: asparagus, apples, buckwheat, and tea
Myricetin: fennel, blueberries, cranberries, and carob flour

THE BEST REMEDY FOR HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE

Did you know that over 60 million Americans have high blood pressure? That means that 1 out of every 4 Americans over the age of 18 has high blood pressure. THAT’s ASTOUNDING!!!...and SCARY!!!

I’m sure you’ve heard all the scoop on factors that contribute to high blood pressure…..age, race, being overweight, smoking, birth control pills, alcohol consumption, drugs, and lack of exercise. Some of these factors we can change and some we can’t.

10% of high blood pressure is caused by other diseases and 90% of the causes are unknown. The really unnerving part of high blood pressure is that most times the symptoms are mild and non-specific so you may have it and not know it. That’s why it is referred to as the “Silent Killer”.

Some people will experience headaches, dizziness, blurred vision or nausea. But the worst part of high blood pressure treatment is the drugs that are prescribed to lower it. Side effects of these drugs range from constipation and drowsiness to diarrhea, heartburn, swelling around the eyes, heart palpitations….and who knows what else!

I WENT THROUGH THIS about eight years ago….I had the experience of moderately high blood pressure but I didn’t want to take any of those drugs so ….I decided to take the natural approach – MEDITATION - and it WORKED!

MEDITATION is very relaxing, calming and leaves one with the feeling of being happy and content. Warm and fuzzies are wonderful!! It’s simple…..Try it:

Sit cross-legged on a cushion on the floor or in a comfortable chair. If you’re in a chair, make sure your feet are flat on the floor and your hands are on your lap. If you’re sitting cross-legged, place your hands on your lap or on your knees. Close your eyes and BREATHE.

Count your breaths…..breathe in…..Count 1. Breathe out. Breathe In….Count 2. Breathe out. See if you can breathe and count to 10 without any stray thoughts coming into your mind. If they do, acknowledge them and go back to your breathing….starting over at 1.

Don’t try to stop the thoughts…..you won’t be able to and the more you try, the more they will come. Just relax, be with yourself, and enjoy it. Practice….practice…practice. Your mind will become calmer and your body will be so much more relaxed; therefore, your spirit will be happier. It’s a WIN-WIN-WIN situation for your entire self. And your family and friends will thank you!

THE FRUIT THAT FIGHTS WRINKLES

You really can fight wrinkles from the inside out. And there's a fruit that can lead the charge - It's papaya. What makes papaya so perfect? Easy…..Vitamin C. Papaya has loads of it, and getting lots of vitamin C may mean more youthful skin -- fewer wrinkles and less thinning and dryness. A recent study in women over 40 confirmed it.

The Mysteries of C

Vitamin C is a natural friend to skin. The nutrient is essential for making collagen, the protein fibers that give skin its strength and resiliency. And being a powerful antioxidant, C also disarms free radicals that would otherwise chip away and weaken collagen. (Did you know? Vitamin C helps protect skin from this sun scourge, too.)

More Food for Your Face

A little extra vitamin C isn't all it takes to plump your complexion. Here are a few more food tips that can help keep your face fresh: Munch on walnuts. In the vitamin C study, researchers also noted that diets rich in linoleic acid -- an essential fatty acid in walnuts -- meant moister, plumper skin.

Ease up on fats and refined carbs. Scientists found both were linked to aging skin. Discover the dark side of processed foods. Instead, think whole grains. The magnesium and B vitamins you get from them help with the regeneration of skin cells.

Keep the fruits and veggies coming. To stay smooth and healthy, your skin needs a whole slew of antioxidant-rich produce. Eating a diverse diet that includes 4 servings of fruit per day can keep you younger.

20 TIPS FOR A HAPPY LIFE

1. Take a 10-30 minute walk every day. And while you walk, smile. It is the ultimate anti-depressant.

2. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day.

3. When you wake up in the morning make the following statement: “I am so thankful for all the wonderful things I have in my life.”

4. Live with Energy, Enthusiasm, and Compassion - like today was your last day alive!

5. Make time to practice meditation and prayer. They provide us with daily fuel for our busy lives.

6. Be in the moment – don’t worry about the past because it is over. Don’t worry about the future because it hasn’t happened yet. The only thing we truly have is this very moment.

7. Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that is manufactured in plants.

8. Smile at everyone you see today.

9. Clear clutter from your house, your car, your desk and let new and flowing energy into your life.

10. Don't waste your precious energy on gossip, negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Be in the moment.

11. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a college kid with a maxed out charge card.

12. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.

13. Don't take yourself or anyone else so seriously. No one else does.

14. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.

15. Don't compare your life to others'. You have no idea what their journey is all about.

16. No one is in charge of your happiness except you.

17. What other people think of you is none of your business. Forgive everyone for everything.

18. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.

19. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.

20. Enjoy the ride. This is not Disney World and you certainly don't want a fast pass. Enjoy your life….BE HAPPY!

Endometriosis is an agonizing condition for 1 out of 10 women

It is almost as common today as asthma or diabetes, yet it remains a difficult condition for the medical profession to treat.

The most popular class of drugs is a synthetic male hormone that decreases estrogen levels to a point where masculinization is very possible. These side effects are not always reversible!

But, in fact, you don’t have to fool your body with synthetic hormones to treat endometriosis successfully. Once you understand how stress is pushing your hormones out of balance, endometriosis pain can be quickly addressed.

Stress hits you in the hypothalamus—which among other duties, controls the production of your hormones. So stress in women upsets the estrogen and progesterone balance, and triggers excessive output of adrenal hormones.

That’s why endometriosis has been called the working woman’s disease—issues of job security, money worries, overwork, relationship problems, all trigger endometriosis pain and blocks your body’s ability to heal itself.

Now, it’s no good telling a woman not to stress out, but you can put her back in control of her hormonal balance in three simple steps:

1. Help your body to rebalance itself with supplements. Vitamin C and citrus bioflavanoids, used together, regulate estrogen levels and strengthen capillaries so they are less likely to break, causing cramps.

2. Heal your digestive system so that the estrogen build up in your system can correct itself. Because all estrogen is sent to the liver to be degraded it’s important to eat high-fiber foods that are rich in vitamin B. Eat one helping of raw broccoli to flush your system of excess estrogen.

3. Address the stress itself. You don’t have to find an extra hour a day to meditate. In The Women’s Pharmacy I give a one-minute exercise, in which your left hand holds the ball of the right foot. I’ll show you exactly how to locate the pressure point that relieves the stress that is associated with endometriosis—and it takes just 60 seconds!

10 WAYS TO HAVE THE BEST DAY EVER

1. Be present.
Instead of allowing your mind to reside elsewhere, bring yourself back to now, in the moment, focused on where you are and what you're doing and who you're with. You can't change things that have already happened, but you do have enormous power at this moment.

2. Do less.
Have a full schedule today? Cut it in half. You don't need to do everything your Blackberry says you have to.

3. Get one monumentally important thing done.
Ideally, this is a task that will have an enormous long-term impact. Could be deciding to - finally - get life insurance. Or starting a savings account for your children's education. Doesn't have to be time-consuming, but it does have to be life-changing.

4. Plan your perfect life.
What would life be like if you had no restrictions? What career path speaks to you? What makes you smile? What inspires you to do better? Figure out what makes you happiest, then take steps toward making this dream life a reality. It's not as hard to be happy as you might think.

5. Clear out the clutter.
Even if it's just a little space - say a drawer or a shelf - decluttering an area of your life can have a wonderful effect on your mood. Clearing your desk is a great way to start.

6. Take a hike.
Or walk. Fresh air will have a great effect on your day. Clear your head. Calm yourself during a busy time of your day. Say to yourself, at least once, "How lucky I am to be alive!"

7. Focus on 3 projects.
Choose your three most important projects, and focus on them exclusively. Concentrate on completing them, to the exclusion of all other projects.

8. Crank up the radio.
Great music can make most of the bad stuff from today go away. For a good time, call Madonna. Her new album, Hard Candy, is a lot of fun.

9. Call someone you love but haven't talked to in more than six months.
Few sounds are sweeter than the voice of a loved one you haven't heard from in a long time.

10. Watch the sunset.
Instead of sitting down and flipping channels, walk outside and look up. The setting of the sun - the enormity of the world we live in and the wonders all around us - puts your whole day in perspective. Trite? Uh huh. But does it work? Double uh huh.

ARE YOU QUART SHORT OF OIL?

Women are omega-3 deficient and the problem is now at epidemic levels.

Omega-3 oils cannot be made by your body, so you have to get them from food or supplements. Lack of omega-3 has been linked to high-cholesterol, heart disease, rheumatoid arthritis, breast cancer, asthma, diabetes, insulin resistance, menstrual cramps, psoriasis, eczema and stroke!

If you have the following symptoms, you probably are deficient in omega-3s: cracks in your heel or dry skin on the feet, flaky skin, dry hair, split or brittle nails or bumpy skin on the back of your arms.

A diet low in omega-3 leaves us feeling hungry again after 2 or 3 hours, instead of 5 or 8. So these oils keep us slim.

The CURE: You can get omega-3's from fish, from fish oils, or from Flaxseed oil. Flaxseed is the easiest and least nasty. Fish oil can be sooooo nasty…..remember when your grandmother tried to give you cod liver oil? Yuch!

After you begin taking the omega-3s, you'll notice how great your hair looks. Then you'll notice what a great mood you're in—and how cramps and joint pain have simply disappeared.

Dolkar Wellness has top quality Omega-3 Fish oils in gelcaps. We can also direct you to the finest quality of flaxseed oil…..the choice is yours.

MOMS to be:GIVE YOUR GUMS SOME LOVE!

PREGNANT WOMEN WITH GUM DISEASE BEWARE: You’re at risk of developing gestational diabetes. The condition develops during pregnancy and usually ebbs after the baby is born, but it can increase your chances of developing type 2 diabetes later on.

According to a recent study, pregnant women who developed gestational diabetes had high levels of gum disease-causing bacteria and inflammation. Researchers speculate that gum disease may impair blood sugar control, leading to the development of diabetes. Published in the Journal of Dental Research, the study suggests that treatment of gum disease may help prevent gestational diabetes.

It’s important to monitor the health of your gums and schedule bi-annual dental check-ups, especially if you plan on getting pregnant. Take extra caution if your ethnic background predisposes you to both gum disease and diabetes, as seen in Hispanic, Asian and Native American female populations. Treating gum disease during pregnancy is safe and simple, and it could fend off both types of diabetes.
