The Morning Show's Rx Food Rx For Living Longer!

                                    A Recipe For a Longer Life! 

If you're a regular viewer of the "Today show" then you're well aware
that they did a whole week on living longer and one of the segments
involved Iceland. 

Iceland, and other Scandinavian countries now boast the second longest
life span in the World, and who is first, you ask? 
The Japanese, more specifically- Okinawa Japan.
And if you're wondering how does one live long like the Okinawans
or Icelanders, or the Cretes from Greece? 

Well, you can attend some type of religious service, or you can
work past 65, or you can do some form of activity--dance, work in
a garden, socialize more, or diet. 
Diet?
No- not a diet of 1,000 or 1,200 calories, but a diet of more vegetables, low-sugar fruits, 
(green apples and berries)
good fats, ( grass-fed butter, avocados, olive, coconut or walnut oil) seeds and grains,
 (flaxseeds, almonds, pistachios, and sunflower seeds) brown rice and oatmeal, coffee, 
 tea, red wine, good quality meats, and fish. 

And to get you started- here's a recipe that will not only help  you look younger, 
it will also help you feel younger for yrs. to come.
The recipe: Fish  with Zesty Salsa.
It's a combination of good fats, (which fight inflammation)
fruits and vegetables--(which nourish your skin and keep your heart strong) 
Ingredients:
1 large avocado
2 tsp. lemon juice
1/2 red onion 
1/2 red grapefruit, peeled, segmented and diced
1 jalapeno, seeded and minced
salt and pepper
4 salmon fillets, (4 to 6 oz. each)
1 Tbs. olive or walnut oil
4 cups mixed salad greens
1 lemon, cut into wedges 
====================================
Directions:
In a bowl, toss avocado with lemon juice.
Add the onion, jalapeno, salt and pepper, toss. Reserve.
Sprinkle some salt and pepper on the salmon, and place them in a skillet 
with olive oil. Cook until lightly brown on both sides (about 2 to 3 mins.
each side or until they flake easily)
Take out 4 plates.
Place 1 cup of greens on a plate along with a salmon fillet,
and top with the avocado mixture.
Do this 3 more times. 
Enough for 4 servings. 
Not a fan of salmon? Try mahimahi fillets. 

And lastly, if you want some more great info on ways to live longer 
like the people of Denmark, China, Japan, Jamaica, Greece,
Spain, France and Italy, head on over to Amazon.com/the kindle store,
and type The Asian, French, Greek and Italian Rxs For
Super Longevity in the search bar.
Download the Ebook,  and you may get another decade (or two) out of life.

Good Luck!

Live Longer Rxs Just For Men!

                   Guys- Live Longer Like Women!  

Guys, whenever the words youth-boosting or
anti-aging are mentioned, you're left out.
It seems the anti-aging experts only think women
are concerned about getting or looking older.

But, that's not true, according to insiders, George
Clooney calls Brad Pitt and asks his advice on ways to
turn back the clock.
Well, if your name is Mr. Clooney or Mr. Smith, you 
may want to take a page out of the book of some past stars. 
Past stars like Bob Hope, George Burns, Dennis Weaver and
Ernest Borgnine.

What was their secret?
They all gave up a food that many men may not be able to give up.
The food: Meat. It's rumored, George Clooney loves steaks,
hamburgers and hot dogs. 
The former stars all  became vegetarians and all lived past 90, 
all except Dennis Weaver, who passed away at age 88.

Researchers say men may benefit from a vegetarian diet, more 
so than women. Why?
They think it's the blood.  Mix iron-rich meats with blood and
you're asking for trouble.
The researchers say that since women menstruate starting in their
teens right up until their late 40's to early 50's, they don't have
that blood circulating in their arteries like men, giving them 5 or more
extra years of life.
And if the men smoke, drink, eat sweets, rarely or never exercise,
the blood in their system is really toxic.

So, how can men overcome this and get the extra 5 to 8 yrs of extra life 
like women? Give up meat, (or eat it on rare occasions) or eat a cleaner
diet, have lean red meat, salad, and some steamed vegetables,  exercise,
have a beer or a glass of wine ( no more than 1 drink per evening)
or skip these things and become a regular blood donor.
Yup, get that blood out, donate once a month or twice a month and guys
you may be able to make it to age 85, 90 or beyond.

That's it- And in the next few days, we'll tell you how two former
stars of "The Mary Tyler Moore Show"are still living productive lives
at 88 and 92. 
And you'll also learn how one still busy movie star and director
 just celebrated his 84th birthday.

Good Luck!

Jay Leno's Rx For A Longer Life!

                      Sleep More, Live Longer! 

Jay Leno is notorious for sleeping no more than 6 hrs. a night.
If he goes to bed at 11:00 pm and gets up at 5:00 am that's
okay, but if he goes to bed later than 12:00 midnight, then
he may be taking a few yrs. off his life.

That's right- new research says that getting to bed by 11:00 pm can help you lose weight (especially around the stomach area), cut your risks of colds, lower your chances of getting diabetesby a whopping 45% and if you're a pregnant woman- reduce your chances of miscarrying.
Why is 11:00 pm so important?

The researchers say that getting your circadian rhythms in sync
with the Sun-so you're asleep when it's dark out and awake when it's
light out-helps your body function at it's peak.

So, are you a night owl? Can you make it to bed by 11:00 pm?
Remember your life depends on it, literally.
As for those who must be up past 11:00 pm for work,
well you can make sure you're eating right, drinking water
and not smoking.

And if you need some all-natural ways to get to sleep and stay asleep,
look for a E-document, written by the same people who bring you

SupermarketRxs@typepad.com.

Meryl Streep's Rx To Boost Focus!

                              Be More Focused Like Meryl Streep! 

Do you need to become more observant or focused?
Well, you may need to take up the hobby that Meryl Streep
uses for more focus and being more observant, what is it?
Crocheting!

It's a craft that's practiced by a lot of stars mainly because of the
time they (stars) have to spend on movie and T.V. sets.
And if you're thinking of getting something from your Dr.- like adderall,
you may want to rethink that, and use the natural Rx known as
crocheting.

Why is it effective? Learning a new craft or hobby like
crocheting, dancing or painting triggers the formation of gray
matter in 2 areas of the brain responsible for speeding up how
fast you process visual details, like shapes and colors.

And that's not all- if you're easily stressed or bothered by petty comments
or rude remarks, crocheting or dancing can also work to lower stress levels.
Crocheting or dancing lowers cortisol (the stress hormones) and raises
your levels of serotonin and dopamine (the feel good hormones).

That's it- Now that the holidays are here, you now have a gift idea 
for your sister, cousin, aunt or BFF.
Please continue to support this blog, and we'll continue to find,
alternative and healthy alternatives to Dr. prescribed meds and therapies.
Thanks!

Good Luck!
