<p>What are some of your favorite healthy snacks? I’m pretty good at meals, but snacking always gets me! I’m more likely to stay on track if I have easy items that I can grab and go. My usual favorite is baby carrots and hummus. Aldi makes a really good buffalo one. And the Mediterranean one is good, too. Share your ideas; maybe we can all get some new tips and tricks! </p>

<p>I am not a doctor, and I'm not here professing I have "The Cure," but I will say this what worked for me, coupled with an alkaline diet. Here's an excerpt of an interesting article about Soursop: </p>
<p>One alternative treatment of cancer that has been used in the past, especially in countries where it grows well, is Soursop. A flowering evergreen tree native to tropical regions, this fruit is said to kill cancer more effectively than chemotherapy drugs and does not produce the same undesirable side effects, but may not be fully clear of any adverse effects.</p>
<p>The active ingredient in Soursop that is proving to be effective is called <em>Annona muricata or Graviola. </em>Currently it exists on the market under the brand name of Triamazon but licensing of the product is not generally accepted in all countries due to the potential profit loss for pharmaceutical companies. Graviola is not just a cancer treatment, it has also displayed anti-parasitic, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antirheumatic and cytotoxic properties, according to Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. In some cases, Graviola has also been used as a pain killer and the results were positive.</p>
<p>In an assessment of Graviola, published in the December 2008 issue of the “Journal of Dietary Supplements” by U.S. researchers Lana Dvorkin-Camiel and Julia S. Whelan, multiple in-vitro studies determined that Graviola is effective against various microbial and parasitic agents. Graviola displayed specific effectiveness on parasites Leishmania braziliensis, Leishmania panamensis, Nippostrongylus braziliensis, Artemia salina and Trichomonas vaginalis, as well as against the Herpes simplex virus.</p>
<p>As it relates directly to cancer, test-tube and animal research demonstrates that Graviola may be an anti-cancer agent. However, no human clinical trials have been performed as of yet. According to the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, MSKCC, Graviola extract proved to be effective against liver cancer and breast cancer cells. Naturopath Leslie Taylor, author of “The Healing Power of Rainforest Herbs,” notes that studies show Graviola has an inhibitory effect on enzyme processes in some cancer cell membranes. Graviola only affected cancer cell membranes and not those of healthy cells. This research may lend support to the herb’s traditional use against cancer.</p>
<p>Research done over 20 laboratory tests by one of America’s largest drug manufacturers suggests that the extracts were able to demonstrate the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>Effectively target and kill malignant cells in 12 types of cancer, including colon, breast, prostate, lung and pancreatic cancer.</li>
<li>The tree compounds proved to be up to 10,000 times stronger in slowing the growth of cancer cells than Adriamycin, a commonly used chemotherapeutic drug</li>
<li>What’s more, unlike chemotherapy, the compound extracted from the Graviola tree selectively hunts down and kills only cancer cells. It does not harm healthy cells.</li>

Tomatoes also contain other protective mechanisms, such as antithrombotic and anti-inflammatory functions. Research has additionally found a relationship between eating tomatoes and a lower risk of certain cancers as well as other conditions, including cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, ultraviolet light-induced skin damage, and cognitive dysfunction.</p>

"Leveraging emerging science about tomatoes and tomato products may be one simple and effective strategy to help individuals increase vegetable intake, leading to improved overall eating patterns, and ultimately, better health." write the authors.</p>

Multiple health benefits of magnesium include transmission of nerve impulses, body temperature regulation, detoxification, energy production, and the formation of healthy bones and teeth.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br/>Health specialists have always emphasized the importance of including adequate amounts of vitamins and minerals in our daily diet. Zinc, calcium, and magnesium are three of the most important minerals essential for good health.

As with most nutrients, daily needs for magnesium cannot be met from food alone which is why magnesium dietary supplements are recommended as well. </div>

Dietary surveys have suggested that sufficient magnesium intake may reduce the chance of having a stroke. Magnesium deficiency increases the risk of abnormal heart rhythms, which increases the risk of complications after a heart attack. Therefore, consuming recommended amounts of magnesium dietary supplements may be beneficial to the cardiovascular system. </div>

<p>I got blood work in 2008 when I went to the Tahoma Clinic (great clinic near Seattle) and the results came back that I had a lot of food allergens as I was so tired and bloated all the time. I didn't eat dairy or gluten for an entire year! Yes, I got skinnier and felt great. I gradually started back but limited it but could feel the effects especially from dairy. I recently got acupressure for dairy and a few other things and now so far I can eat eggs! I know it sounds weird but check it out; it really does work. I will keep on going and let everyone know how I progress, if you're interested, because I am allergic to things like Vitamin C, sugars, Vitamin B, minerals..the list goes on. </p> 50 Top Anti-Inflammatory Foodstag:csrnation.ning.com,2012-09-08:1736041:Topic:12431972012-09-08T22:57:25.614ZMarge Teilhaber (TILE hobber)http://csrnation.ning.com/profile/MargeTeilhaber

Omega-3 fatty acids are highly concentrated in the brain and appear to be important for cognitive (brain memory and performance) and behavioral function. In fact, infants who do not get enough omega-3 fatty acids from their mothers during pregnancy are at risk for developing vision and nerve problems.
