Always use these and Live a Healthy Good Life

 

This is very interesting health information ...Co incidental ?

 

MUSHROOM EAR

Slice a mushroom in half and it resembles the shape of the human ear.

And guess what? Adding it to your cooking could actually improve

your hearing. That's because mushrooms are one of the few foods

in our diet that contain vitamin D. This particular vitamin is important

for healthy bones, even the tiny ones in the ear that transmit sound to the brain

BANANA(SMILE)DEPRESSION

Cheer yourself up and put a smile on your face by eating a banana.

The popular fruit contains a protein called tryptophan.

Once it has been digested, tryptophan then gets converted in a

chemical neurotransmitter calledserotonin. This is one of the most

important mood-regulating chemicals in the brain and most

anti-depressant drugs work by adjusting levels of serotonin production.

Higher levels are associated with bettermoods.

BROCCOLI     CANCER
Close-up, the tinygreen tips on a broccoli head look like hundreds

of cancer cells. Now scientists know this disease-busting veg can

play a crucial role inpreventing the disease. Last year, a team of

researchers at the US National Cancer Institute found just a weekly

serving of broccoli was enough to reduce the risk of prostate cancer

by 45 per cent. In Britain , prostate cancer kills one man every hour

GINGER      STOMACH
 

Root ginger, commonly sold in supermarkets, often looks

just like the stomach.

So it's interesting that one of its biggest

benefits is aiding digestion.

The Chinese have been using it for over 2,000 years to calm

the stomach and cure nausea, while it is also a popular remedy for

motion sickness. But the benefits could go much further.

Tests on mice at the University of Minnesota found injecting the

chemical that gives ginger its flavour slowed down the growth rate

of bowel tumours.

CHEESE     BONES

 

A nice holey cheese, like Emmenthal, is not just good for your bones,

it even resembles their internal structure. And like most cheeses,

it is a rich source of calcium, a vital ingredient for strong bones and

reducing the risk of osteoporosis later in life. Together with another

mineral called phosphate, it provides the main strength in bones but

also helps to power muscles. Getting enough calcium in the diet during

childhood is crucial for strong bones. A study at Columbia

University in New York showed teens who increased calcium

intake from 800mg a day to 1200mgequalto an extra two slices

of cheddar - boosted their bone density by six per cent

GRAPES     LUNGS
 

OUR lungs are made up of branches of ever-smaller airways

that finishup with tiny bunches of tissue called alveoli. These

structures, which resemble bunches of grapes, allow oxygen

to pass from the lungs to the blood stream. One reason that very

premature babies struggle to survive is that these alveoli

do not begin to form until week 23 or 24 of pregnancy. A diet high

in fresh fruit, such as grapes, has been shown to reduce the

risk of lung cancer and emphysema.

Grape seeds also contain a chemical called proanthocyanidin, which

appears to reduce the severity of asthma triggered by allergy.

 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 

TOMATO      HEART
A TOMATO is red and usually has four chambers, just like our heart.

Tomatoes are also a great source of lycopene, a plant chemical

that reduces the risk of heart disease and several cancers.

The Women's Health Study, an American research programe which

tracks the health of 40,000 women, found women with the highest

blood levels of lycopene had 30 per cent less heart disease than

women who had very little lycopene. Lab experiments have also

shown that lycopene helps counter the effect of unhealthy LDL cholesterol.

One Canadian study, published in the journal Experimental Biology

and Medicine, said there was convincing evidence that lycopene prevented

coronary heart disease.

WALNUT       BRAIN

The gnarled foldsof a walnut mimic the appearance of a human brain -

and provide a clue to the benefits. Walnuts are the only nuts

which contain significant amounts of omega-3 fatty acids.

They may also help head off dementia. An American study found

that walnut extract broke down the protein-based plaques associated

with Alzheimer's disease. Researchers at Tufts University in

Boston found walnuts reversed some signs of brain aging in rats.
