Antioxidant Data

I just learned something really interesting and I wanted to share it with you. Apparently combining foods high in antioxidants is even more beneficial than eating them separately.

“To be clear, based on the evidence supplied by Hort Research, superfoods like cacao and goji berries or cacao and acai or cacao and camu berry when combined in smoothies or snacks create a synergistic effect thus increasing the utilization of the antioxidants. This is one more piece of evidence indicating that the habit of combining unique superfood ingredients in smoothies or snacks is being increasingly validated by science.”

Swine Flu Update

The World Health Organization predicts that the H1N1 swine-flu virus could infect up to two billion people over the next two years. This is causing deep consternation in some people. Please read this article through to the end and spread the link far and wide. We need to stop needless panic spread by the merchants of chaos. The vaccination is most likely far, far worse than the flu. If we boost our immune system and our body’s ability to destroy pathogens we will be, on average, far better prepared for whatever happens.
