-these four herbs that either mimic Calorie Restriction to help long
life, or contribute a similar effect by improving insulin sensitivity.

* Milk thistle (with silymarin)
* Korean ginseng root

-Traditional Chinese medicine has long made use of Reishi mushrooms to
promote a vigorous immune system. Scientific studies support this apparently
a mix of compounds in this mushroom make it a medicinal powerhouse. It wards
off the effect of immunosenescence and increases life span as well. In fact, one
2011 animal study suggested the regular use of Reishi may add seven to 16
years to your life span, on top of restoring your immune strength.
To be fair, other mushroom remedies are also highly effective. Just last week we
wrote about enoki mushrooms (the article is reprinted below). And another
great move is to supplement with beta glucans one of the most powerful active
ingredients in medicinal mushrooms and other species of fungus.

- Lions Mane not only stimulates the production of NGF thereby giving you
healthier neurons and improved connectivity in your brain. It also protects your brain
cells from something called toxic amyloid b or amyloid beta peptide.
- Before eating carbs : SUPERCHARGE your insulin sensitivity before each
carbohydrate-containing meal in just a few seconds with the below 5 ingredients
each of which has been clinically shown to dramatically improve both insulin
sensitivity and your body's ability to process carbs.
Here they are:
1. #1. Cinnamomum Burmannii (canela), a potent extract harvested from
Indonesian cinnamon bark that has been shown to effectively assist in
managing blood sugar after a carbohydrate-rich meal while increasing your
body's ability to process the carbohydrates you eat by up to 10 fold!
2. #2. Berberine. This rare plant alkaloid has been used for centuries in Ayurvedic
medicine in India. Berberine works slightly different by improving the
signaling between insulin and its associated receptors while also increasing
carb uptake by lean muscle for energy, not fat.
#3. Pterocarpus Marsupium is another all-natural herbal remedy used by
Ayurvedic physicians in India. In fact, Pterocarpus Marsupium is so effective
that it was shown in a recent Indian Journal of Medical Research study to
reduce blood sugar levels 2 hours after a meal by a whopping 21%.
#4. 4-hydroxyisoleucine, a natural phytochemical extracted from the Fenugreek
herb harvested in the remote regions of Eastern India, has been scientifically
shown to increase carbohydrate storage in muscle cells while decreasing
carbohydrate fat storage through the sensitizing of insulin receptors in muscle
tissue. Hydroxyisoleucine has also been shown to interfere with the process by
which the body converts muscle protein to sugar for energy. This encourages fat
loss (instead of muscle break down) and aids in the retention of calorie-burning
lean muscle as you lose fat. This is great news because the more lean muscle
you hold on to as you diet, the more calories your body naturally burns
without any extra effort on your part
#5 - R-Alpha Lipoic Acid (R-ALA). Alpha Lipoic Acid is a naturally occuring
fatty acid made up of two isomers, S-ALA and R-ALA, of which the R isomer has
been shown to be significantly more effective and bioavailable. In fact, R-ALA is
clinically proven to increase insulin sensitivity by an impressive 25% in just 4
weeks and is so powerful at managing blood sugar that it's even used by German
doctors for the treatment of various nervous system conditions caused by high blood
sugar.

Ginkgo Biloba: Supports your retina and improves blood flow and
oxygen delivery to the delicate and hard-to-reach areas in your eyes.
Eyebrite: Strengthens the blood vessels in your eyes and helps fight
fatigue and eyestrain.
Omega-3 Fish Oil: Feeds the rods and cones in your retina, which
directly affect the clarity and sharpness of your overall vision.
PLUS you'll find essential but little-known vision helpers that very few
doctors recommend... or even know about.
These antioxidants and amino acids protect the lining of
your blood vessels and the delicate tissues inside your
eye... and help detoxify and clear out waste products that
can damage your vision.
Some of the nutrients exclusive to Eagle-Eyes include:
Alpha Lipoic Acid: Protects the DNA in the cells of your eyes, protects
your optic nerves, and helps boost oxygen delivery in the tiny capillaries
responsible for blood flow.
Eagle-Eyes also contains two of the critical, "must have" minerals for
vibrant, long-lasting eyesight as well as a high-powered version of
vitamin C, my "sleeper pick" for maintaining clear lenses as you age.
Most formulas overlook these nutrients because
manufacturers are either not aware of their vision-improving
power... or they simply don't want to spend the extra money.
But as I mentioned to you earlier, I have seen the results my formula
can give in both patients and friends of mine. And I see firsthand the
difference it can make.
However, I wanted Eagle-Eyes to be the best eye supplement there is.
And that's why I've spared no expense to also include:
Rutin: The "secret weapon" bioflavonoid that boosts the effect of vitamin
C and prevents it from breaking down too soon.
Vitamin C: Keeps the lenses of your eyes clear and prevents the buildup
by up to 77%. Also supports the walls of your blood vessels and helps
maintain optimum oxygen delivery.

daily smoothie habit.
Anti-inflammatory
1 teaspoon turmeric
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons grated ginger
2 cups unsweetened coconut milk (or coconut cream, diluted)
Raw honey to taste
Benefits:
Both turmeric and ginger lend substantial anti-inflammatory action. Curcumin
(found in turmeric) is also known to support liver health. Piperine - the active
compound in black pepper - helps to increase the bioavailability of turmeric.
What's more, medium chain fatty acids (MCFAs) found in coconut milk assist
in reducing inflammatory response.
Spicy green superfood
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano leaves
A handful of arugula
2 cups unsweetened coconut milk (or coconut cream, diluted)
Stevia extract to taste
Benefits:
Oregano herb is antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal and antiparasitic.
Peppery-tasting arugula is an exceptional source of iron, as well as vitamins A,
C and K. Arugula also contains glucosinolates -- compounds that tame free
radicals in the body and prevent cancer. Coconut milk is rich in lauric acid
which demonstrates antibacterial and antifungal properties. And stevia will add
a touch of sweetness without aggravating fungal infections like candida.
Energy elixir
1 tablespoon bee pollen
2 cups almond or hemp milk
1 teaspoon chia seed
1/2 cup frozen acai berries
Raw honey to taste
Benefits:
Brimming with protein and B-vitamins, bee pollen is one of the best foods to
consume if you require more energy throughout the day. Chia seeds are another
excellent source of protein and are known to enhance physical stamina.
Indigenous to the Amazon, acai berry is an energy-boosting fruit, which also
assists with weight loss, cardiovascular health and the prevention of cancer.
Immune booster
1/4 teaspoon camu camu berry powder
2 cups unsweetened kefir
1 ounce elderberry extract
1/2 cup frozen aronia berries
Stevia extract to taste
Benefits:
One of the most bioavailable and concentrated sources of vitamin C in the
world, the camu camu berry will give the immune system a major boost in no
time flat. Similarly, probiotic strains - like those found in kefir - also enhance
immunity, thereby aiding in the defense against colds, influenza and other
illness. Antibacterial and antiviral, aronia berry contains potent compounds
that fortify the body against infectious disease. Not only that, the berry is a
natural cancer fighter and helps to prevent cancers of the bladder, breast, colon,
lungs, ovaries and skin. A brilliant purple fruit, elderberry stimulates the
immune system and is considered a time-honored herbal remedy for reducing
the duration of the flu.
A word of caution regarding elderberry: Do not exceed one ounce per day or
use the berry for more than five consecutive days. Those who are pregnant or
who have an autoimmune disorder should not consume elderberry.
A few tips for keeping it healthy and real
Always choose organically grown ingredients for ultimate benefit,
nutrition and safety. Several brands of tinned coconut cream now
come in BPA-free cans -- try to seek out these products in order to
steer clear of this mighty endocrine disrupter. To avoid problematic
additives like sugar, carrageenan and gum binders in pre-made, nondairy milk substitutes, have a look at these recipes for coconut,
almond and hemp milk.

Bad Breathe
Keep a clean mouth. Brush your teeth and gums when you get up in
the morning, after meals and before you go to bed at night, and don't
forget to use floss to remove food particles that are lodged between
teeth. Even tiny particles can provide a food source for bacteria
which release sulfurous compounds that cause stinky breath. Don't
forget to brush or scrape your tongue too.
Consider using a mouthwash that contains essential oils. Essential oils
are derived from plants, and some oils like tea tree have antibacterial
properties that can help you battle bad breath naturally. Other
options to consider: peppermint and lemon oils. Many health food
stores offer mouthwashes and other dental products featuring
essential oils as an active ingredient.
Rinse your mouth with apple cider vinegar. This acidic product has
lots of uses around the house and as a natural remedy for multiple
ailments, including bad breath. How does it work? By increasing the
acidity in your mouth, it creates an environment that halitosiscausing bacteria just don't like. It can also help kill bacteria and
germs that can cause sore throats and other ailments.
Get rid of stress. Studies have shown that stress can increase the
volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) that are one of the root causes of
smelly breath. (1) Yoga, meditation and mindful breathing are good
options to reduce stress and promote better oral and overall health.
Chew fennel seeds. Not only does fennel have its own naturally sweet
smell, but like apple cider vinegar, chewing the seeds promotes an
environment inside your mouth that bacteria just don't like. Unlike
vinegar, though, chewing fennel seeds actually causes your mouth to
become more alkaline. (2)
Don't care for fennel seeds? How about clove or cardamom? Seeds
form both of these plants have been used for centuries in the Middle
East to freshen breath. In addition to contributing their own natural
sweet smell, cloves and cardamom also have natural antimicrobial
properties to fight harmful bacteria and reduce plaque.
Drink green or black tea. Both black and green tea contain powerful
plant-derived antioxidants called polyphenols that have been shown
to decrease the sulfur compounds that cause breath to smell bad as
well as destroy other harmful compounds that can cause tooth decay
and gum disease. Added bonus: Drinking tea has also been linked
with a decreased risk for both heart disease and cancer.
