Red For Better Health!
You may have noticed a lot of celebrities wearing red noses.
Why?
To help raise money for the less fortunate in Africa, the U.K. and
the U.S.
The charitable organization was started in England almost 3 decades ago and
it's finally made it's way to the U.S.
If you would like to donate, by all means do so, head online to Google.com
and type Red Nose site and look for a link there.
But, if you want the benefits of red for yourself and loved ones, then make
sure to eat and wear some red.
Eat and wear red, say what?
That's right, you can really bolster your health and your love life by eating
and wearing red.
First up, eating red.
We always hear about green veggies, green produce and green smoothies.
But what about red foods?
Well, there are cherries, and if you or a loved one is suffering from gout,
knee pain or insomnia, then you must eat a few cherries or drink some
tart cherry juice, (preferably mixed with water).
Now on to red cabbage, again it takes a back seat to it's more famous
relative- (green cabbage) but if you're concerned about memory loss
or plain old Alzheimer's, red cabbage can help prevent the loss of brain cells.
Red onions- Concerned about hair loss? A woman familiar with the Russian
remedy of using onion peels on one's scalp to keep locks luxurious,
found that using the peels and the juice from a red onion worked much better.
Important tip: make sure there are no cuts or abrasions on your scalp before using
the peels or the juice.
And then there are pomegranates- although they can be expensive, the seeds and juice
from this fruit can help keep your heart in tip-top shape and your skin looking
5 to 7 yrs. younger. The price of fresh pomegranates is much lower in the Fall,
stock up on them. Cut in half and squeeze the seeds for the the juice and place in
plastic containers and store the containers in your freezers.
And finally, red plums. (Yes, they're also purple or even black) and eating plenty of
plums can keep bones strong well into old age and protect skin from the Sun's harmful rays.
(yes, consider them natural sunscreen).
If you're wondering about apples, we've covered the subject awhile back, look for GMA's
Rx For Good Health. It's all about news anchor George Stephanopoulos and his
love of the red beauties.

Now onto wearing red.
Infertility, a problem for millions and the cost of treating it can run into the thousands,
if you or someone close to you is going through it, try wearing and adorning your bedroom
with red. As in red drapes, roses (fresh) red sheets, bedspreads and lingerie.
Why this color?
An Asian doctor practicing in England saw too many couples who struggled with infertility,
and that's when it came to him, stop giving them expensive meds and use only natural methods.
His suggestions...
place the couples on special diets, teach them strategies
to lower stress levels, (meditation and yoga) and use the color of love (red) more.
And lastly, if you're single and a frequent visitor to bars and nightclubs, and you're
not having any luck attracting eligible men, just wear red.
Some say red really attracts the men, and if you get too much attention, turn it down by
wearing pink.
That's it's for this beautiful and slightly chilly Saturday.
Remember- if you drink this holiday weekend, do it responsibly, and
use some beer on your meat, chicken and fish, it'll lower the cancer-causing agents
that seep into foods when cooking them at high temperatures.
And lastly, if you want more foods that'll help you keep skin cancer rates low,
head on over to Amazom.com/the kindle store and type--The Supermarket Foods
That'll Prevent Skin Cancer, (Natural Sunscreen) in the search bar.
Have a great Memorial Day Weekend.
Good Luck!
