REISHI AND HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE.

REISHI AND HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE.

Two human controlled studies revealed that reishi mushroom extract can reduce high blood pressure to   a significant degree (systolic and diastolic), even in patients who had   previously failed to respond to established anti-hypertensive medications.   Animal studies reveal that reishi mushroom extract reduces blood pressure   through a central inhibition of sympathetic nerve activity, although it does not   slow heart rate or induce a sedative effect in general. Under experimental   conditions, reishi mushroom extract has a mild to moderate effect on reducing   platelet aggregation, which may further help to decrease risk of cardiovascular   disease. It has also been shown to increase endurance, blood flow to the brain   and to improve oxygenation of cells. As such, it aids energy production on a   cellular level, which may improve cardiovascular health and is used to boost   memory and intellectual capacity in some cultures, including success in a study   of Alzheimer’s patients.

ONIONS ANOTHER MAGICAL HEALTHY DIET

Onions and heart

1. To help keep our blood free of clots, and make the most of the health benefits of onions, eat them both raw and cooked. 

2. Prescribing onions to heart patients is a routine thing amongst cardiologists.

3. Here are some of the things that onions can do for our heart:

(i) Boost beneficial HDL cholesterol

(ii) Thin the blood

(iii) Retard blood clotting

(iv) Lower total blood cholesterol

(v) Lower triglycerides

(vi) Lower blood pressure.

Onions are a rich source of quercitin

1. It is the richest dietary source of quercitin, a potent antioxidant flavonoid (also found in shallots, yellow and red onions), which is found on and near the skin and is particularly linked to the health benefits of onions.

2. Quercitin thins the blood, lowers cholesterol, raises good-type HDL cholesterol, prevents blood

clots, fights asthma, chronic bronchitis, hay fever, diabetes, atherosclerosis and infections and is specifically linked to inhibiting human stomach cancer.

 3. It is also an anti-inflammatory, antibiotic and antiviral. It is also a sedative. So far, there is no better food source of quercitin than onion skins.

Detoxify your body with onions

1. Onions contain a variety of organic sulphur compounds that provide health benefits.

2. Sulphur-containing amino acids are found in onions as well as garlic and eggs.

3. These specific amino acids are called methionine and cystine. Amongst other things, they are very good at detoxifying our body from heavy metals.

4. In fact, they are able to latch on to mercury, cadmium and lead and escort them out of the body.

5. Onions also contain vitamin C, which is excellent at detoxifying the body and is effective in removing lead, arsenic and cadmium. So increasing consumption of onions can help our body to get rid of these harmful metals.

Cancer prevention

1. Studies have revealed that the antioxidants present in onions can protect us against cancer by reducing the DNA damage in cells caused by free radicals.

2. All onions and onion relatives (garlic, leeks, chives and scallions or spring onions) are rich in organosulfur compounds, which have been shown to help prevent cancer in lab animals.

3. In fact, an onion extract was found to destroy tumour cells in test tubes and arrest tumour growth when the cells were implanted in rats.

4. The onion extract was shown to be unusually nontoxic, since a dose as high as forty times that of the dose required to kill the tumour cells had no adverse effect on the host.

5. In addition, shallots have been shown to exhibit significant activityagainst leukaemia in mice.

Other health benefits of onions

1. Onions have also been shown to have a significant blood sugar lowering action, even comparable to some prescription drugs.

2. The active compound that seems to be responsible for lowering glucose works by competing with insulin for breakdown sites in the liver, thereby increasing the lifespan of insulin.

3. Onions have historically been used to treat asthma, too. Their action on asthma is due to their ability to inhibit the production of compounds that cause the bronchial muscle to spasm and relax.

4. Onions have potent antibacterial activity, destroying many disease- causing pathogens, including E.coli and salmonella.

5. The flavonoids in onion tend to be more concentrated in the outer layers of the flesh. To maximise health benefits, peel off as little of the fleshy, edible portion as possible when removing the onion’s outermost paper layer. Even a small amount of overpeeling can result in unwanted loss of flavonoids. For example, a red onion can lose about 20 per cent of its quercetin and almost 75 per cent of its anthocyanins if it is overpeeled.

6. The total polyphenol content of onions is much higher than many people expect. (Polyphenols are one of the largest categories of phytonutrients in food. This category includes all flavonoids as well as  tannins.) The total polyphenol content of onions is not only higher than its fellow allium vegetables, garlic and leeks, but also higher than tomatoes, carrots and red bell pepper. In the French diet, only six vegetables (artichoke heart, parsley, brussels sprouts, shallot, broccoli and celery) have a higher polyphenol content than onion. Since the French diet has been of special interest to researchers in terms of disease  prevention, onion’s strong polyphenol contribution will very likely lead to follow-up studies that pay closer attention to this unique allium vegetable

THE EXTRAORDINARY HEALTH BENEFITS OF MORINGA

Moringa also known as the Miracle Tree is a multipurpose plant, as the leaves, pods, fruits, flowers, roots and bark of the tree can be utilized. It is also referred to as Drumstick Tree by the Britishers. The specialty of this tree is that it actually bears fruits in the warm season.

The paste of the moringa leaves is said to beautify the skin and is hence applied by women regularly, It protects the liver and kidneys, It can also be used as a water purifier.

Other Benefits of Moringa: It can be used as a source of biofuel. Cooking oil can also be produced from moringa tree. The health benefits of moringa oil, can be compared to sunflower oil and olive oil. It is used in the manufacture of cosmetics and personal care products. Perfumes and aromatherapy oils are also manufactured from moringa seeds. The flowers of the moringa plant can be used in making herbal tea, for they add a refreshing aroma to the tea.

Moringa contains more than 90 nutrients and 46 types of antioxidants. With all the health benefits of moringa, it can easily be termed as the most nutritious plant on the face of the earth. There are no side-effects of moringa tree leaves which have been proved till date.

Therefore, many people have started using it in porridge, pastas, breads, etc., to reap the everlasting health benefits of the extraordinary 'Moringa'.

CARROT THAT CRUNCHY MAGIC FOOD

IMPROVES VISION: Western culture’s understanding of carrots being good for the eyes” is one of the few we got right. Carrots are rich in beta-carotene, which is converted into vitamin A in the liver. Vitamin A is transformed in the retina, to rhodopsin, a purple pigment necessary for night vision. Beta-carotene has also been shown to protect against macular degeneration and senile cataracts. A study found that people who eat the most beta-carotene had 40 percent lower risk of macular degeneration than those who consumed little.

HELPS PREVENT CANCER: Studies have shown carrots reduce the risk of lung cancer, breast cancer and colon cancer. Researchers have just discovered falcarinol and falcarindiol which they feel cause the anticancer properties.

Falcarinol is a natural pesticide produced by the carrot that protects its roots from fungal diseases. Carrots are one of the only common sources of this compound. A study showed 1/3 lower cancer risk by carrot-eating mice.

SLOWS DOWN AGING: The high level of beta-carotene acts as an antioxidant to cell damage done to the body through regular metabolism.  It help slows down the aging of cells.

PROMOTES HEALTHIER SKIN: Vitamin A and antioxidants protects the skin from sun damage. Deficiencies of vitamin A cause dryness to the skin, hair and nails. Vitamin A prevents premature wrinkling, acne, dry skin, pigmentation, blemishes, and uneven skin tone.

HELPS PREVENT INFECTION: Carrots are known by herbalists to prevent infection. They can be used on cuts – shredded raw or boiled and mashed.

PROMOTES HEALTHIER SKIN: Carrots are used as an inexpensive and very convenient facial mask.  Just mix grated carrot with a bit of honey.

PREVENTS HEART DISEASE: Studies show that diets high in carotenoids are associated with a lower risk of heart disease.  Carrots have not only beta-carotene but also alpha-carotene and lutein.

The regular consumption of carrots also reduces cholesterol levels because the soluble fibers in carrots bind with bile acids.

CLEANSES THE BODY: Vitamin A assists the liver in flushing out the toxins from the body. It reduces the bile and fat in the liver. The fibers present in carrots help clean out the colon and hasten waste movement.

PROTECTS TEETH AND GUMS: It’s all in the crunch! Carrots clean your teeth and mouth. They scrape off plaque and food particles just like toothbrushes or toothpaste.  Carrots stimulate gums and trigger a lot of saliva, which being alkaline, balances out the acid-forming, cavity-forming bacteria.  The minerals in carrots prevent tooth damage.

PREVENTS STROKE: From all the above benefits it is no surprise that in a Harvard University study, people who ate more than six carrots a week are less likely to suffer a stroke than those who ate only one carrot a month or less.
