Healthy World Digest, Issue #001

"Healthy nuggets of information to keep your motor humming."

Welcome to the first issue of our newsletter.

Please excuse us our first baby steps in the eZine world. We are working out some kinks. This, our first issue, is re-slated for May, 2009. If you received it early, goody for you. You can start to apply our little nuggets sooner.

In this issue:

1) What's healthier, beer or red wine?

2)Pumping up prescriptions with supplements.

3)Be smarter. Eat fish.

4)Run faster, longer. Here's how.

5)This grain will make you thinner.

Red wine. It packs fewer calories and greater health benefits. Two 4 ounce glasses of wine will cost you only 200 calories. The damage for two 12 ounce beers will be 300 calories, 50% greater than the two glasses of wine. Beer contains one well-known antioxidant, ferulic acid but red wine contains the ultra healing resveratrol, which battles heart disease & Alzheimer's. Pass the wine.

2) Four prescription-supplement pairings that either raise benefits of medication or decreases side effects

a) Taking statins? Incorporate some CoQ10 which reduces lessens decreases muscle pains which often accompany statin use.

b) How about SSRI antidepressants? Take some SAMe for a major psychological boost.

c) Consuming NSAIDS for back pain? Taking fish oil with prescription offered additional pain relief. Or, just eat some delicious salmon or tuna.

e) If you're taking ace inhibitors, you might be suffering from the unwanted effect of blood pooling in your ankles. Take some pycnogenol to shrink swelling puffiness.

3) Eat fatty fish

The oil in fish helps you concentrate better. That's one reason to give ADHD sufferers fish oil supplements. Also consume salmon, tuna, mackerel, 2x weekly.

4) Want to be a better runner?

Strike the ground with your mid-foot instead of your heel. Just start by trying to run more quietly. You will start to land on your mid-foot more and more.

5) Barley grain is good for weight control & diabetics

Beginning with a bowl of barley for breakfast will reduce the sugar spikes for the rest of the day which also helps keep off the pounds. The rationale for that is the soluble stuff we call fiber which acts as a glucose depressor. Diabetics will particularly benefit from barley.
