Daily intake of green tea lowers the risk of functional disability in older people says a report published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. Nearly 14,000 men and women were studied in Japan. Green, oolong and black tea consumption was compared. Those who drank two cups of green tea per day were 10% less likely to become disabled than those who drank less than two cups of green tea a day. Five cups of green tea per day caused a 33% lower risk of disability.Those drinking the most green tea had a much lower incidence of cognitive inpairment, stroke and even osteoporosis. |

Accoreding to statistics compiled by the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index, religious belief and well-being are positively correlated. More than 775,000 people were interviewed and 42% who claimed to be "very religious"--defined as high church attendance and high importance of faith in their daily lives--reported a higher overall well-being than the general population but also were more likely not to smoke and more likely to exercise regularly. These findings dovetail with extensive research published by psychologist , Dr, Norman Anderson, in his book "Emotional Longevity." Dr. Anderson describes how good relationships are a buffer against everything from heart disease to the common cold and that religious obsevance often goes hand in hand with longevity. He also demonstrates that far more than genetics, diet, or exercise alone, real health and longevity also includes a person's friendships and beliefs of which many are dependent on religous upbringing and religious obsevance that ultimately help the individual find meaning in life. |

Women pay attention to these statistics. A Mayo Clinic study demonstrates that any female who is on hormonal birth control for four years or more prior to her first full-term pregnancy has an increased risk of breast cancer of 52%. Since 1975, there has been a 400% increase in breast cancer among pre-menopausal women over these same years which mirrors the increased use of hormonal birth control. Women who use hormonal birth control for more than five years are four times as likely to develop cervical cancer. |

Walnuts have been eaten by humans since the old stoneage and have never been found to be harmful to anyone. Even so, the FDA, which pretends to protect the public recently proclaimed that walnuts are an illegal drug. Moreover, I know of at least 50 published scientific studies that describe the health benefits of walnuts. None of this seems to matter to the bureaucrats at the FDA. You see there is a law on the books that was passed to protect big pharma from any competition from food or supplement manufacturers that says no health claims can be made no matter how much research has been done to prove health benefits of any product that is not a drug the FDA has passed judgement on. |

One of the greatest but least recognized benefits of eating lots of fruits and vegetables is their ability to prevent osteoporosis or bone loss which comes as we age. Studies have proven that people who eat the most fruits and vegetables had the strongest bones due to high mineral density. More than 100 studies have confirmed this finding. What seems to be most important, however, is how much calcium you excrete in your urine every day. Diets high in acid containing foods will cause you become acidic which causes greater excretion of calcium and promotes bone loss, so acid-base balance is very important since if you are alkaline calcium is retained not excreted. |

40 % of cancers in women and 45% in men could be prevented by healthier lifestyles. Recent research in the UK has revealed that most cancers are caused by just four lifestyle factors- - smoking, poor diet, excessive alcohol consumption, and being overweight. Smoking alone accounts for 23% of all cancers in Britain in men and roughly 16% in women. Cancers of the lungs, bladder, kidney, pancreas, and cervix are attributable to this one activity. In men, 6.1% of cancers were linked to a lack of fresh fruits and non starchy vegetables in the diet. |

My last two blogs talked about the whys and hows of the hunter/gatherer diet. In this blog I want to clear up some misunderstandings. The Paleolithic Diet always is concerned with foods we humans have adapted to through prolonged esposure. There are three distinct metabolic types this diet covers: the Protein/fat type, carbohydrate type, and the mixed or omnivorous type. This diet regardless of your type is centered upon eating foods our ancestors ate and avoiding those foods that recently entered the human diet such as grains, legumes, potatoes, sugar, white flour, artificial sweeteners, transfats, and all prepared foods (modified foods like TV dinners, packaged snacks,etc. |

In my last blog I talked about the hunter/gatherer diet, sometimes referred to as the Primal Diet or the Paleolithic Diet because it originated during the Paleolithic period of geological time which ended about 10,000 BC when the great ice sheets melted. In general the paleolithic diet consists of the natural foods found in the geographic areas in which our ancestors lived and evolved. Because the foods found in these areas vary considerably, different diets evolved in various parts of the world. |
