The Silent Epidemic that’s Becoming a National Security Disaster (with video)
First lady Michelle Obama launched her “Let’s Move” campaign the second week of February to highlight, and hopefully help remedy the current childhood obesity epidemic. If you think epidemic sounds a little too dramatic, then consider this: It is estimated that one out of every three children in the United States is obese. The American Academy of Pediatrics has a simple formula for helping prevent childhood obesity. It’s 5-2-1-0, and it breaks down like this: 5: Eat five vegetables and fruits a day (the majority of this should be vegetables).

Green Tea Compounds May Boost Eye Health
The antioxidant compounds present in green tea can penetrate the tissue of the eye and potentially protect against common eye diseases. Researchers from the Chinese University of Hong Kong report that catechins from tea could be detected in significant amounts in various eye structures. According to the findings, published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, the retina of rats absorbed the highest levels of gallocatechin, while the aqueous humor tended to absorb epigallocatechin. Furthermore, the potential beneficial effects of green tea catechins in reducing harmful oxidative stress were sustained for up to 20 hours. "Although many antioxidants have been studied in the eye, to the best of our knowledge this is the first paper to show distribution of individual catechins after ingestion of green tea extract and to evaluate their in vivo antioxidative effects in various parts of the mammalian eye," the new study reported.. » read more
High Intakes of Omega-3s Linked to Big Health Benefits
Intakes of omega-3 essential fatty acids that exceed levels consumed by the general population in the United States may significantly reduce the risk of chronic disease, a new study with Yup’ik Eskimos suggests. High levels of the omega-3 fatty acids EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) were associated with lower levels of triglycerides, as well as higher levels of HDL cholesterol, according to data from 357 Yup’ik Eskimos published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. Higher levels of the fatty acids were also associated with decreased levels of markers of inflammation, such as C-reactive protein (CRP), which is produced in the liver and is a known marker for inflammation. Increased levels of CRP are a good predictor for the onset of both type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The study of omega-3 intakes in native arctic populations is nothing new.. » read more

Heal Yourself in 15 Days by eating MORE (not less)
(NaturalNews) Can you really heal yourself by eating more food? It seems counterintuitive, but in this article -- part eleven of our 15-day self-healing series -- I'm going to share with you how eating more food can actually be a powerful tool in accelerating your body's own natural healing potential. But there's a catch, of course: It's not about eating more junk food, processed food or factory-made food. Eating more of that stuff would only promote more disease of course. It's about eating more of some specific foods and superfoods I'm going to share with you in detail right here. The whole point of this "heal yourself by eating MORE" approach is to chill out and get away from the "avoid everything" trap that becomes a psychological obstacle for a lot of people who are trying to improve their health.. » read more
Bilberry Extract Shows Anti-Diabetes Advantage
A recent study from Japan shows that consumption of bilberries may reduce the levels of glucose in the blood and provide a means of reducing the risk of diabetes. The potential anti-diabetes effects of the berries are linked to the anthocyanin content, which may affect the action of various proteins involved in glucose transport and fat metabolism, according to findings published in the Journal of Nutrition. Led by Takanori Tsuda from Chubu University, the Japanese researchers looked at how bilberries may influence glucose and lipid metabolism in mice with a genetic predisposition for diabetes. The animals were fed a diet with or without supplemental bilberry extract (27 g/kg diet) for five weeks. At the end of the study, the results showed that consumption of the bilberry extract was associated with lower blood glucose levels and increased insulin sensitivity.. » read more
