5 Foods That'll Make You Look Younger

5 Foods That'll Make You Look Younger | Healthy Living - Yahoo She Philippines: "

The key to glowing skin lies in your stomach.

1. Sweet Potatoes
Beta-carotene, which makes these tubers orange, balances your skin's pH, helps combat dryness, and promotes cell turnover, all resulting in smoother skin.

2. Wild Salmon
The pigment that makes the fish pink, astaxanthin, is a powerful foe of free radicals, rogue molecules that damage cell membranes and DNA and cause skin to age. A study found that eating one serving every five days can prevent actinic keratoses-ugly rough patches that are precancerous.

3. Tomatoes
The fruit's red pigment, lycopene, is a potent antioxidant that shields skin from sun damage-like sunscreen, but from the inside out. To best absorb lycopene, eat tomatoes with olive oil.

4. Citrus Fruits
Vitamin C is essential to building collagen, a vital component of young-looking skin, which starts breaking down in your twenties. Citrus also contains bioflavonoids, which protect skin from UV rays and help prevent cell death.

5. Leafy Greens
Spinach, kale, and other greens contain lutein, which protects skin from sun-induced inflammation and wrinkles."

Amazing Noni "Apatot" Plant

Noni Plant (Apatot in Tagalog) is a plant what we call in the Phillipines for Nonu, Nono, or Noni which has become popular for years ago in treating ailments and disorders in the body. People in our place who’ve been using it called it as a “miracle plant” as they testified that they have been cured from their illness.

Back in year 2000, one of our staff from vacation in Leyte told me that her mother, who suffered from acute arthritis which she could hardly walk has been cured by the treatment of Noni or Apatot juice. He said Noni juice is very popular in their town because many were cured from any ailments even without a doctor medication or buying medicines from the drugstores.

On that time here in our place, South Cotabato, Apatot also became popular. In fact, it was sold and grabbed by many in the market -- from roots to barks, twigs, leaves and fruits. The barks were sold in pack and used as a tea by boiling it with water. The matured fruits were sold at P150.00 – P200.00 per kilo and even the young ones were sold out at a lower price. As most people using it, matured fruits are ripened and smashed into a puree and the juice is extracted through a cloth. The young ones are boiled and also taken as a tea. The twigs were sold at P10.00 for making use of it anyhow. But mine, as I am a user of natural medicines,  I tried planting it, praying it would grow someday.  The twigs grew up and became a big tree. By year 2002, I started picking up the ripe fruits fallen on the ground day to day. I used to wash it clean and stock in a glass pitcher then refrigerate. When it produces juice I take a spoonful from it during bedtime. I tested it for myself observing how it affects my body glands. There is a frequent urinating, feeling of warmth and excessive perspiration. The first month I took it regularly, pimples and acne appeared and spread over my face and then gone. The pain I was suffering in my leg also gone.  As I intake it continuously increasing 2 tablespoons a day (1 tablespoon in the morning and one at bedtime), my menstrual disorder was relieved to normal and there was no more dysmenorrhea.  What was surprising is that my sexual deficiency since I got married was aided as if there was always a feeling of excitement in sex. How amusing to realized that I exactly enjoyed sex at the age of 42? (LOL!).. I never have told this to anyone even to my husband until I am confident that it really cures illness and safe to use. Yes, I firmly believe in the effectiveness of pure Apatot juice- the how it affects the glands of the body, giving them what they need to promote health. It’s really an incredible immune system builder.. and has strong anti-toxin properties, too!

My husband would not believe it! He hates the smell of ripe Apatot fruit and he even warned me not to store it in the refrigerator. But when he suffered from painful rheumatism that his physician could hardly aid it, he secretly tried for a spoonful of the pure juice each day. I laughed at him when I caught him on the act because he swore not to try it when he confronted me before. His illness completely cured by just taking a spoonful of pure juice during bedtime and morning. We both became a regular user of Apatot juice. I also use to add it to juice drinks for my children.

Clinics, hospitals and drugstores at that time lack patients and customers because people were only relying on the effectiveness of the Apatot. This maybe the reason why Apatot or Noni was banned claiming that it is dangerous to health and that will possibly cause to death. I don’t believe it! I think they’re just making bad stories against it because as far as I know, according to the history, Apatot has been used as a food source of Polynesians and became a staple food choice in times of famine to sustain strength. So whatever people say or how they banned Apatot, we remain using it until now. I think more than ten years of using it is enough to prove that it is safe to use."

4 Things You Didn’t Know About Cooking with Garlic

Garlic infuses delicious flavor into dishes and preparing it in certain ways can boost both its flavor and health benefits. Find out how to prepare and cook with garlic to for maximum potency and how to cure garlic breath and get rid of garlic smell on hands.

Don't Miss: 4 Health Benefits of Garlic

1. Use Fresh Garlic, Not Bottled Garlic for the Most Health Benefits of Garlic

Allicin, a healthy compound in garlic, is most potent in fresh cloves. Japanese researchers found that crushed garlic stored in water lost about half its allicin in six days; stored in vegetable oil it lost that much in under three hours.

2. For Maximum Health Benefits of Garlic, Cut and Wait

Cutting a garlic clove breaks its cells and releases stored enzymes that react with oxygen. That triggers healthy sulfide compounds, such as allicin, to form. Letting the chopped garlic stand for 10 to 15 minutes before cooking allows the compounds to fully develop before heat inactivates the enzymes.

3. What's the Best Way to Use Garlic: Crush, Mince or Mash?

The more you damage garlic's cell walls the more sulfide-transforming enzymes you release-and with them, more pungent garlic flavor. Since crushing breaks the most cells, crushed garlic cloves taste harsher, sliced or coarsely chopped garlic cloves milder. Intact garlic cloves are mildest of all. (Cook's tip: Mashing minced garlic with a pinch of coarse salt helps tame the harsh flavor.)

4. How to Get Rid of Garlic Breath and Garlic Smell from Hands

To get rid of garlic breath, brush, floss, nibble parsley-and drink milk: its fats and water help deodorize volatile compounds.

To get rid of garlic smell from your hands, rub garlicky-smelling hands with a lemon wedge, salt, baking soda or maybe even a piece of stainless steel, like your kitchen faucet (molecules in steel are thought to block odor-producing reactions). Rinse hands well with water.

Colorectal cancer 3rd highest killer disease

Colorectal cancer 3rd highest killer disease - Yahoo! Philippines News: "'Our colon can be likened to how the colon of a cow works; it is more suitable for fibrous food like vegetables and fruits rather than meat,' explains Dr. Manuel Francisco T. Roxas, president of the Philippine Society of Colorectal Surgeons (PSCRS) during the recently concluded 1st National Convention on Colorectal Surgery. Dr. Roxas, who is also the head of The Medical City's (TMC) colorectal surgery section shares that colon cancer is now ranked as the third killer disease in the country, an alarming jump from its seventh spot 10 years ago. Global scenario Worldwide, colorectal cancer is a very common condition. But colorectal surgery had become active and vibrant especially in European countries that the development in technology and specialization has led to higher survival rates of colon cancer patients. Meanwhile, the death rate in countries that have strong screening programs and where treatment is sophisticated is going down." Sadly, the same cannot be said about local conditions. While the country does not have a strong screening program, there are also very few doctors who specialize in the field of colorectal surgery.

If truth be told, more Filipinos suffering from the disease die compared to its neighboring countries such as Thailand, Singapore, and Malaysia. "Our survival rate for colon cancer (based on 2005 data) is 48 percent (while) rectum cancer is 19 percent!" Early detection With the slim chance for survival, it is likely that the future of a colorectal cancer patient is as gloomy as a stormy night. Yet, according to Dr. Roxas, through screening, colorectal cancer can be avoided, and in fact, it can be cured if detected early. Majority of people who get colorectal cancer belongs to the average age of 60 and it takes 10 years for a polyp to become a cancer. Thus, Dr. Roxas strongly encourages every Filipino to get a screening once they reach the age of 50 since it is a way to detect possible polyps in its early stage. Blood examination or fecal occult blood, another way for screening aside from colonoscopy, costs P200 to P400 a year. Before colorectal cancer could get worst, Dr. Roxas says that blood in the stool is the most obvious tell-tale sign that one needs to have a check up right away. "They won't get any check up for months until they find out that it is more advanced than we hope it should be. Any bleeding should be check out. You don't want to assume. Leave a hemorrhoid behind as long as you know that it is a hemorrhoid," he stresses. Other symptoms are: Change in bowel habit, alternating diarrhea then constipation, persistent abdominal discomfort such as cramps, gas or pain, abdominal pain with bowel movement, a feeling that bowel doesn't empty completely, unexplained anemia, weakness or fatigue, weight loss with no known reason, and narrow or thin stools.

5 Fiber-filled food must-haves

Pears
Most people are unaware of the fact that pears contain more fiber than prunes. An average size pear packs five grams of fiber, compared to only three grams in one prune!

Light popcorn
Many people wouldn't suspect it, but a serving of popcorn actually packs four grams of fiber. Popcorn is also a good source of whole grains, and because it's popped with air, you fill up on less.

Whole-grain cereals and bread
Whole-grain cereals are a great opportunity to get in 14 grams of fiber early in the morning while 100 percent whole-wheat breads contain twice the fiber and almost half the calories of their all-white counterparts!

Cucumber
Adding a crunchy cool cucumber to your salads is an especially good way to increase your fiber intake because cucumber comes naturally prepackaged with the extra fluid you need when consuming more fiber. Plus, you get the added bonus of vitamin C, silica, potassium and magnesium.

Green peas
Due to being low calorie but very nutrient dense, green peas make an excellent snack if you are trying to lose weight or maintain a healthy weight. Green peas have also been prescribed to increase energy function in the body. Green peas are said to maintain healthy vision as well as improve immune function.

Your guide to preventive health care

Your guide to preventive health care - AN APPLE A DAY By Tyrone M. Reyes, M.D. | The Philippine Star >> Lifestyle Features >> Health And Family: "You are responsible, in large part, for managing your own preventive health care. It is the most important investment of your time and money. Yet, most Filipinos do not receive all the important preventive services they need — that is, screening tests for early detection of disease, immunizations, and education about healthy habits. Why not?

• Many Filipinos are not aware of these various preventive care services, and even if they do, they may not be able to afford them.
• A great number of Filipinos have no health insurance to pay for tests, vaccines, and other medical care.
• Many people do not get continuity of care. They may have to switch doctors as they switch from one insurer, company, or HMO, making it hard to keep track of what services they’ve had.
• Many miss out on preventive services because they do not go to their doctors for years, do not go for the tests their doctors recommend, or are confused about which tests to ask for. They may not know that prevention is the most economical form of medicine — well worth budgeting for, even if insurance doesn’t cover it."
• With tests for some cancers, there’s the embarrassment factor. Some people may dread being tested for colon, prostate, cervical or breast cancer and they are relieved if the doctors fail to mention it. Some people would simply rather not know.
• Both patients and doctors may be confused by contradictory recommendations. What should a medical checkup consist of? How often should a woman have a Pap smear?
• Doctors may fail to ask patients about smoking and drinking, not to mention exercise habits, diet, sleep, and emotional problems.
  

How About Annual Physicals?

In the old days, people were advised to undergo a “complete physical exam” periodically. That standardized one-size-fits-all exam for seemingly healthy people has now largely been discarded, since it doesn’t pay off in terms of better health and longer life.

Starting in the 1980s, an independent committee of US experts, known as the Preventive Services Task Force, evaluated the benefits and drawbacks of common screening tests and came up with evidence-based recommendations. The Task Force continues to update and re-evaluate its advice. Thanks largely to this work, some tests that used to be done routinely, such as chest x-rays, electrocardiogram (EKGs), urine tests, and complete blood counts, are now reserved for people with symptoms or risk factors. In other words, they are not routine screening tests for healthy people (and as such are not covered in this article). A 2007 article found that “periodic health evaluations” could be beneficial because they allow doctors and patients to evaluate risk factors, and undertake the preventive services now proven to be beneficial and tailored to the specific patient. For this reason, it’s a good idea to see your doctor every year or two.

Vaccinations: A Checklist For Adults

• Influenza: Those age 50 and over; younger people with certain chronic disorders, such as asthma, lung or heart disease, diabetes, cancer, or HIV infection; women in second or third trimester of pregnancy; and health-care workers. Young, healthy adults can also benefit from the shot.
• Pneumococcal (pneumonia): Those 65 and over; younger people with certain chronic disorders (same as for influenza).
• Tetanus: Everyone, every 10 years for life.
• Chickenpox: Anyone who has never had chickenpox.
• Shingles: People 60 and over.
• Rubella (German measles): Women of child-bearing age, but not during pregnancy.
• HPV (human papilloma virus), to prevent cervical cancer: women 26 and younger.
• Hepatitis A: Travelers to most parts of Latin America, Africa, Asia, or other areas where hepatitis A is common; those with chronic liver disease; anyone who wants to be protected.
• Hepatitis B: Sexually active gay men; heterosexuals with multiple partners; health-care workers; frequent travelers to high-risk areas; partners of infected people; drug users who share needles; certain other groups. There’s a combined vaccine for hepatitis A and B.

Preventive Services For Healthy Adults

These are the major screening tests (that is, routine tests for people without symptoms). Our advice is based largely on the recommendations of the US Preventive Services Task Force. Infants, children, and pregnant women need other kinds of preventive care not described here.

The discussion on this list follows the following sequence: The service, who needs it, how often, and other comments.

• Blood pressure measurement (to detect hypertension): All adults. Once every two years for those with normal blood pressure. More frequently for those over 60 and anyone with readings over 120/80.
• Cholesterol measurement (including HDL, LDL, and triglycerides): All adults. Once every five years. More often if any results are abnormal or there are other risk factors. Those at high risk for heart disease need medical advice about lifestyle changes and possibly drug therapy.
• Pap test (for early detection of cervical cancer): All women, starting within three years of becoming sexually active, no later than age 21. Annually until age 30. After 30, if three consecutive years are normal, once every two to three years, unless a woman smokes or has multiple sex partners or other risk factors. Women 70 and over who have had normal recent results can stop being screened, unless they are at high risk. Women who have had their cervix removed do not need to be tested.
• Breast cancer screening (mammography): All women 50 and over; those at higher risk need to start earlier. Annually. Certain women at high risks should also have an annual MRI scan starting at age 30. Clinical breast exams are important, too — consult your doctor.
• Colorectal cancer screening (fecal occult blood test, sigmoidoscopy, colonoscopy): Everyone over 50 and over; earlier for those at high risk. Occult blood test annually plus sigmoidoscopy every five years. Or preferably, colonoscopy every 10 years. X-ray with barium enema or CT (“virtual”) colonoscopy may also be done. Those with abnormal results need more frequent testing.
• Prostate cancer screening (prostate specific antigen or PSA test; digital rectal exam or DRE: Men with family history of prostate cancer, start testing at age 40. For others, DRE and possibly PSA, starting at age 50. DRE to be done annually; PSA on professional advice. Routine PSA screening for all men remains controversial. Discuss with your doctor.
• Diabetes screening (fasting blood glucose test): Everyone 45 and older; earlier for those at high risk. Every two to three years. Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, obese people, and those with strong family history need more frequent screening, starting at age 30.
• Thyroid disease screening: Women 50 and over; those with high cholesterol, family history, or other risk factors. Frequency depends on professional advice. Routine screening remains controversial. Talk with your doctor about risk factors.
• Bone density testing: Women 65 and over; younger women at high risk for bone loss; men at high risk. Frequency depends on professional advice. Risk factors include being small-boned, sedentary, a heavy drinker, or a smoker, or having a personal or family history of osteoporosis.
• Chlamydia screening: Sexually active women 24 and younger; older women at increased risk (such as multiple partners). Annually, or more often. Men who have unprotected sex should also be tested.
• Glaucoma screening: people at high risk; those over 65, very nearsighted, or diabetic; those with family history of glaucoma. Frequency depends on professional advice of eye specialist. Benefits of routine screening remain unproven. Still, most eye specialists advise testing all adults 40 and over every three to five years.
• Abdominal aortic aneurysm (ultrasound): men 65 to 75 who ever smoked (at least 100 cigarettes in his lifetime). Once only. Some experts think women 65 to 75 who smoked, and anyone over 75 who smoked, should also be tested.
• Dental checkup: All adults. Every six months, or on professional advice. Should include cleaning and exam for oral cancer.

Bottom line: Medical experts may disagree about a lot of things, but they all agree that good health depends on improved access to and increased use of preventive services.

Wheatgrass boosts the immune system

Wheatgrass boosts the immune system | The Philippine Star >> Lifestyle Features >> Health And Family: "MANILA, Philippines - Did you know that the body’s�immune system is our amazing, complex way to fend off foreign bacteria and viruses which cause infections or illnesses? The immune system recognizes viruses, bacteria, fungi, parasites, and foreign bodies, and signals the brain to activate the immune processes. The first line of defense is the skin and mucous membranes in the mouth, nose, and other areas that prevent the intrusion of harmful agents. Just imagine what will happen if an intruder enters the body and the first line of defense is not strong enough to ward off or attack the harmful trespasser. A research conducted at Loma Linda University in California and reported in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition shows that sugar suppresses immunity. Drinking 24 ozs. of soda (which contains sugar) depresses the activity of neutrophils (the white blood cells responsible for fighting infection) by 50 percent."

Boosting your body’s immune system can help halt the onset of frequent colds, arthritis, and even cancer. Avoid excessive stress as it can also compromise your immune system. Nutrition and physical activity play a vital role in supporting the body’s immune system. Wheatgrass is known to enhance immunity. Easy Pha-max Wheatgrass is an excellent and unique source of nutrition which utilizes the roots and leaves of wheatgrass, and is processed using the multi-awarded aeroponic technology to actually help regulate the body’s immune system, strengthen its deficiencies, and reduce overactive systems.

Easy Pha-max wheatgrass contains high levels of chlorophyll, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, enzymes, and proteins. Here’s how Easy Pha-max Wheatgrass acts in four interrelated ways in the body. First, the enzymatic activity supports the transformation and absorption of nutrients. Second, the alkaline nutrients found in abundance in Easy Pha-max Wheatgrass help the digestive system. Third, the high level of chlorophyll in wheatgrass juice helps in blood oxygenation, and because minerals and trace elements can be easily absorbed, there is a significant increase in blood quality. Fourth, blood quality leads to improved blood circulation.

The Barley Plant

The Barley plant is something referred to as barley grass or just plain barley. Barley’s latin name is Hordeum Vulgare, and it belongs to the graminae family, that includes wheat, rice and bamboo. While some healthcare practitioners, include the barley plant as member of the gluten grains group, which comprises wheat, oats and rye. Members of the graminae family are essentially free from toxic substances and are resistant against substances.

Barley can also be regarded as either “young barley” or just “barley”. The difference lies in the time of harvest of this plant. “Barley” leaves mature to a height of one meter and it contains about the same vitamins and minerals as that of green vegetables. The cause for this is the channeling of nutrients to across the entire length of the plant to the seed heads at this stage of its development. On the one hand, “young barley” leaves contain the most nutrients in the leaves itself as it grows to a height of 20-30 centimeters. This is because the nutrients are concentrated in the plant itself, before it enters the reproductive cycle of creating grain. Thus, this is the best period of its development to be harvested. This is type of barley leaf from which Green Power is created.
