      September 8, 2011 /

      Harvard researchers suggest that Middle-aged women who drink alcohol in moderation have a better chance than nondrinkers of staying healthy as they age.

      Moderate drinking; 3-15 drinks per week for women, showed 28% higher odds of being free from chronic illness, physical disability, mental health problems, and cognitive decline at age 70.

      The study applied to middle aged white women and while it is not a prescription to start drinking or to over indulge it is encouraging for those who imbibe in moderation.

      Nurturing yourself is necessary.

      It is not selfish to put your needs first, however, most women will exhaust themselves taking care of others at the expense of their own needs.

      Women have bought into many myths that perpetuate self destructive behavior.

      Fear of being undervalued, wanting to be loved and accepted and fear of offending others are just a few of the myths which drive women to put themselves last.

      September 7, 2011 /

      Cancer rates in the world are on the rise.

      To the alarm of the World Cancer Research Fund, 2.8 million new cancer cases have developed due to lifestyle changes.

      “As countries become more urbanised, they become more prone to the Western diseases that we are used to seeing. Not just cancers – coronary heart disease, diabetes, obesity and lung diseases.”

      He said: “Many people are still unaware that risk factors such as alcohol and obesity affect cancer risk, while from television advertising to the pricing of food, our society works in a way that discourages people from adopting healthy habits.”

      Purple Potatoes May Promote Lower Blood Pressure

      September 7, 2011 /

      You don’t always hear good news about potatoes when it comes to your health, however, purple potatoes are a different story according to Joe Vinson, a chemistry professor at the University of Scranton in Pennsylvania.

      On average, diastolic blood pressure — the bottom number in a blood pressure reading — dropped by a statistically significant 4.3 percent and systolic blood pressure — the top number in a blood pressure reading — dropped by 3.5 percent.
      While eating potatoes, most of the subjects — even those on anti-hypertensive medications — experienced lower blood pressure, and none of the subjects gained weight.

      Baked and boiled potatoes are best while frying at high temperatures seems to destroy the health benefits of potatoes.

      Enjoy in moderation and improve your health/
