Sipping Sake For Health
I don't know what I like more about sake... I could say the taste, flavor or the sensation of it in my mouth but let's be honest, I love the feeling of being a giant with those tiny cups. It's like a tea party for adults. When studying food culture and health, we see a relationship between libations and health. However, it was just drunken ranting until now. To my delight, someone has done some pretty good research on this and opened the door to what I already knew: moderate drinkers are healthier. I recently attended a lecture at Harvard University's Healthy Plates, Healthy Lives conference and listened to Dr. Eric Rimm e...

Nutrition is one of the key, if not most important, areas to address in order to successfully manage high blood pressure, cholesterol and to maintain overall heart health. Here are some of the best whole foods that can improve these health metrics through a nourishing lifestyle.

Glutathione Benefits: Boosting Levels For Long, Healthy Life
Many people who live to be 100 or more have something in common. And it’s not that they’ve followed conventional “wisdom” about healthy diet and exercise.
It’s that their bodies make more of a powerful antioxidant called glutathione than the average person.
It’s what keeps them from being ravaged by the toxic world we live in.
Glutathione is an important antioxidant produced by the body
By now you know your body is under attack every day from the air you breathe, the chemicals you use, and the processed foods you eat. These toxins cause your body to produce free radicals.

Calcium supplements linked to post-stroke dementia in women
Conclusion
The media paint this as a troubling study for older women who take calcium to strengthen their bones. However the small size of the study (only 98 women took calcium supplements, and only 14 of those got dementia) and its observational nature mean that we cannot rely on the results.
As the researchers mention, it is possible that those taking supplements were less healthy than those that didn't in some unmeasured way. Further research may improve our confidence in these results.
Broken bones are not a trivial matter for older people – a broken hip can be the difference between being able to live independentl...

Butterflies: a feast for more than eyes

56 Today!
June 30th, the day the calendar year ends, the day contracts expire, the fiscal year ends... that is the day I made my appearance into this world! This June 30th was my 56th birthday and an idea popped into my head: I'm going to get a photo shoot done on my birthday. And I did. My friend and amazing photographer Jesse Lane Sparrow (artsbysparrow@gmail.com) and I went to the Yew Dell Botanical Gardens (http://www.yewdellgardens.org/main-page.html). I took two dresses with me, and put on the floral one and off we went in search of beautiful vistas in which to take the pictures. And we found many. This is a beautiful place, i...
