Tasty Way to BOOST HEART HEALTH & AGE IN REVERSE
hibiscus tea

Whether you sip it hot or over ice, hibiscus tea is loaded with flavonoids that prevent plaque buildup in the heart enough to cut your risk of high blood pressure and heart disease by 50%, adding four healthy years to your life, say Cleveland Clinic researchers. And as an added bonus, polyphenos in the tea also boost skin hydration to reduce the risk of premature wrinkling by 58%. To get the benefits, I recommend sipping two or three cups per day, letting each tea bag steep for at least 5 minutes.

    Interesting! I’ve never heard of a tea from hibiscus. I have these flowers in my yard. Can’t believe it is great for the skin and I haven’t been drinking it.

The simple secret to YOUNGER SKIN

Youthful radiant skin really does start from within! The key? Shoring up your stores of the healthy fat gamma-linolenic acid (GLA). The nutrient keeps cellular membranes from drying out, so skin stays smooth and supple. It can even help soothe conditions like eczema and psoriasis that tend to flare up at this time of the year. In fact, Italian scientists found supplementing with GLA cuts eczema symptoms by up to 90%. I advise taking two capsules of UNI KEY Health GLA-90 twice daily.

The simple way to STOP VIRUSES IN THEIR TRACKS

There’s one essential nutrient that can thwart viruses from spoiling fall fun: selenium. Your immune system requires selenium to produce proteins that prevent viruses from mutating in the body. And without enough, it can’t fight off infection. To sidestep viral infections, I advise taking a 200-mcg. selenium supplement (like Nature’s Bounty Selenium, Vitacost.com) or eating at least 16 oz. of selenium-rich foods like tuna, cod, turkey, lamb or mushrooms daily to keep level optimal.

The simple way to NIX BLADDER LEAKS

Urinary incontinence affects 50% of all women, and there’s a surprisingly common cause: constipation. When not eliminated regularly, the adult colon can hold up to 25 pounds of waste, which causes downward pressure on the bladder that can lead to leaks. To get things moving and strengthen your bladder at the same time, spend 10 minutes stretching daily – especially any move that stretches the inner thighs. Not only does this increases bladder control for 66% of women, it also speeds digestion to clear up and prevent leak-triggering constipation.

The kitchen cure that STOPS SINUS PAIN

by |

If you’re one of the millions of women for whom the cold, damp weather triggers sinus pressure and pain, horseradish can help! It’s rich in a natural sinus-clearing chemical similar to the one found in drugstore decongestants, plus antibacterial compounds that help prevent infection. And if the bold flavor makes your nose run, that’s a good thing! It helps drain excess fluid to relieve pressure. Try grating 1 tsp. of fresh horseradish root and chewing it thoroughly for 1 minute. Tip: If the flavor is too strong, add it to a salad dressing or sauce instead.

The soothing sip that PROTECTS AGAINST HEART DISEASE

by |

Cozying up with a warm cup of tea each morning cuts your risk of heart disease in half. But for an even bigger health boost, consider trading black tea for a hawthorn berry brew. Research shows the fruity sip lowers high blood pressure and noticeably increases blood supply to the heart. Plus, a study published in the journal Frontiers in Pharmacology suggests hawthorn berry extract lowers artery-clogging “bad” LDL cholesterol by 50%, protecting against heart attack and stroke.
