Health Zeal - THE COLOR OF LIFE

Health Zeal - June 2009

Mango is an antioxidant

June 28th 2009 04:10
A medium mango packs 57 mg of Vitamin C, almost your whole recommended daily dose. This antioxidant helps prevent arthritis and boosts wound healing and your immune system. Mangoes also boast more than 8,000 IU of Vitamin A (as beta-carotene). One mango has 135 calories, 1 gram of fat and 4 gram of fiber. Cut the mango and serve it over leafy greens, the salads will taste like desserts. Yummmy!!!

Apricots – Eye Protection

June 20th 2009 08:48
Apricots contain Beta-carotene which helps to prevent free-radical damage and protect the eyes. The body also turns beta-carotene into vitamin A, which may ward off some cancers, especially of the skin. One apricot has 17 calories, 0 fat, 1 gram of fiber. Snacks on them dried, or if you prefer them fresh, buy when still firm: Once they soften, they lose nutrients.

Migraines – Heart Attack Risks

June 13th 2009 02:49
The recent study has suggested that migraines have twice the chance of heart attacks and strokes. In people suffering from severe migraines, the headache is preceded by the range of symptoms like slurred speech, forgetfulness, feeling hot or cold and ghostly lights blinking across the field of vision which is called aura. Among 35 million Americans 1 in 10 get migraines. The research suggests that a third of those with migraines had signs of blood vessel damage, almost five times higher than the controls.

Sipping hot tea causes throat cancer

June 6th 2009 04:38
The recent investigation suggests that people who drink their tea piping hot run a higher risk of throat cancer than counterparts who prefer cooler tea. Cancer of Esophagus is linked especially to smoking and alcohol, but now the hot beverages are also considered a risk factor. Those who drink hot tea (65-69 deg C) were twice as likely to develop throat cancer compared to those who drink lukewarm tea whose temperature is (65 deg C). The study reflects the facts that scorching fluids may cause damage to the throat’s epithelial lining and lead to cancer. It is highly recommended that tea junkies wait at least four minutes before drinking from a freshly boiled cup.
