Adopt This Adaptogen and Calm Down

Ashwagandha, also known as Indian ginseng, is an herb commonly referred to as an adaptogen. In addition to antioxidant activity, research indicates that it may help support brain health and calm feelings. In part, it does this by supporting normal levels of certain neurotransmitters and cortisol.

A double-blind study published in 2012 evaluated the safety and efficacy of ashwagandha in reducing stress and anxiety, and improving general well-being in adults with a history of chronic stress.

After two months of supplementation, the ashwagandha group showed a significant reduction in scores of self-reported stress compared to the placebo group. The treatment group also had lower serum cortisol levels when compared to the subjects taking placebo.

In addition to a healthy diet, regular activity, and emotional management, intake of quality adaptogens such as ashwagandha may be beneficial as part of a healthy lifestyle to support you in times of mild stress.

Spice Up Your Health

Adding spices and herbs is a great way to add some flavor and excitement to your meal, but new research indicates it may also benefit your health.

In a randomized, controlled study, scientists from Penn State University discovered that when subjects ate a meal high in fat and carbohydrates with six grams of a spice blend added, markers of inflammation were reduced compared to when they ate a meal with less or no spices.

The blend of spices included basil, bay leaf, black pepper, cinnamon, coriander, cumin, ginger, oregano, parsley, red pepper, rosemary, thyme and turmeric. Six grams roughly translates to between one teaspoon to one tablespoon, depending on how the spices are dehydrated.

Experts agree that emphasis should be on eating a healthier diet. But this research shows that adding a variety of spices and herbs may provide some benefit after a meal high in fat and carbohydrates.

Red Blood Cells Carry a Heavy Load

Maintaining a healthy heart and circulatory system requires healthy red blood cells. These hard-working, unique cells deserve some attention. So, here are a few interesting facts that will earn your respect:

• The average red blood cell lives for 120 days. Once mature, red blood cells contain no nucleus or DNA, so they can no longer replicate or repair themselves.
• There are approximately 2.5 trillion red blood cells in your body at any given time. To maintain this number, the body has to produce about 2.5 million red blood cells per second in the bone marrow. That is over 200 billion new red blood cells per day.
• About 5.6 liters of blood circulate through the body three times every minute. That means a red blood cell can circumnavigate your body in less than 20 seconds.
• The largest artery in the body, the aorta, is about the diameter of a garden hose.
• Capillaries, on the other hand, are only 1/10th the diameter of a human hair.
• The human heart creates enough pressure when it pumps to sq**rt blood over 10 meters (30 feet).

Everything you eat and breathe is circulated and delivered to tissues and cells throughout the body. Keep your cells running longer and stronger by providing them all the right fuel, fluids, and nutrients they need

Taking good care of your health is one of the greatest acts of self-respect. Each day you nourish your body, you’re choosing more energy for your family, focus for your work, and strength to live out your purpose. Thank you for making your health a priority.

Myth: Raw Vegetables Are Always Better For You than Cooked Ones

The truth about raw vs. cooked vegetables is complicated. It depends on the specific vegetable, the nutrient in question, and your method of cooking.

Nutrients like beta-carotene are more bioavailable from cooked carrots, spinach, mushrooms, asparagus, cabbage, and peppers than from the raw vegetables. But, it is also true that cooking destroys much of the vitamin C and polyphenol content.

Another important carotenoid, lycopene, is also more bioavailable when the food source (i.e. tomato) is cooked. Broccoli is a vegetable that provides more of some healthy nutrients when cooked, and more of different healthy compounds when raw.

So, the answer to whether vegetables are healthier when raw is yes, no, and maybe. And, the best way to ensure you get all the health benefits is to eat the recommended servings of fruits and veggies no matter how they’re prepared. The more ways you make them delicious and inviting to you, the more likely you are to eat them.
