This delicious taste treat boosts your memory.
You may be surprised to find out (like these researchers) the amazing value of these delicious little fruits in keeping you bright, alert and healthy.
The folks who ate berries in the Nurses’ Health Study (1995-2001) delayed the onset of memory loss and mental cognitive decline by 2.5 years. Eating only half a cup of blueberries or a cup of strawberries per week facilitated memory improvement. What a delicious way to protect our brains.

And what’s a carotenoid?
Carotenoids give food color and help protect the plant from the sun’s radiation effects. Essential for photosynthesis and plant growth, they produce a beautiful array of colors in vegetables and fruit.
When we eat these … Read the rest

Because of the concern about radiation exposure from the nuclear power plant problems in Japan I’m posting this special edition of Be Wise-Health Wise. Two well respected doctors in natural healing sent information about the best way to prepare for any radiation exposure, much more complete and informative than anything I’ve seen in the media.
If you follow a healthy life style way of eating, you will already have protected yourself from the effects of radiation exposure.
Dr. Jaffe, MD, Ph.D. “Acting from an excess of caution” explains that radioactive materials only cause damage if you don’t have enough antioxidants … Read the rest
