Bananas are filled with so many nutrients, that they are almost the perfect cure for whatever ails you! Compared to an apple, the potassium-rich banana has four times the protein, twice the carbohydrate, three times the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals.

Boost Your Brain Power: potassium in bananas makes your more alert

Natural Laxative: High in fiber, bananas can get things moving without the use of chemicals

Calm Yourself: Bananas are high in calming B vitamins

Anemia Help: High in iron, bananas can help anemia by stimulating the production of hemoglobin

Get Over a Hangover: Make a banana milkshake with honey and milk. The banana calms the stomach and builds up blood sugar levels with the help of the honey…the milk soothes and rehydrates

Cheer Up: Bananas contain tryptophan that the body converts into serotonin. Bananas can make you relax, feel happier and improve your mood

No More Nicotine: Bananas contain B6, B12 and potassium and magnesium which all aid in stopping smoking and nicotine withdrawal

So Long Strokes: Research shows that regular consumption of bananas can cut your risk of strokes by 50%

Mama Morning Sickness: Snack on bananas between meals and keep your blood sugar even, preventing morning sickness

Monthly Moods: Regulate your blood glucose levels with the B6 in Bananas and smooth your mood naturally

Better Blood Pressure: High in potassium and yet low in salt, this is the perfect blood pressure food.

Halt Heartburn: Bananas are a natural, soothing antacid

Manage Mosquitoes: Many people reduce the swelling and itch of mosquito bites by rubbing the inside of the banana skin on them

Soothe Stress: Our potassium levels plummet when we are stressed. Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body's water balance. Bananas are high in potassium!

Wart Removal: Put the inside of a banana skin on a wart and hold it in place with a bandage: a natural wart remover!

SAD: Banish seasonal affective disorder by consuming bananas natural mood enhancer: tryptophan

Ulcers: Soft and soothing, bananas are the only raw fruit that reduces the acids of ulcers and coats the stomach lining

Pressure and Pounds: Highly stressed people benefit from a high carbohydrate banana between meals to keep their cravings and blood sugar in control

Cool It: Many cultures consider bananas a ‘cooling’ fruit that lowers the emotional and physical temperature of a person

Super Shine: Wipe your shoes with the inside of a banana skin and polish with a dry cloth for a super shoe shine.

And don’t forget how good they taste too!

DNA Healing: The Ancient Solfeggio Frequencies (Reposted by JoDa Hodge)

Forgotten In Time: The Ancient Solfeggio Frequenciespowerofharmony.tripod.com

What Are The Ancient Solfeggio Frequencies?

These original sound frequencies were apparently used in Ancient Gregorian Chants, such as the great hymn to St. John the Baptist, along with others that church authorities say were lost centuries ago. The chants and their special tones were believed to impart tremendous spiritual blessings when sung in harmony during religious masses. These powerful frequencies were rediscovered by Dr. Joseph Puleo as described in the book Healing Codes for the Biological Apocalypse by Dr. Leonard Horowitz. I give honor to both of these gentleman for the part they’ve played in helping return these lost frequencies back to humanity.

The Six Solfeggio Frequencies include:

UT – 396 Hz – Liberating Guilt and Fear
RE – 417 Hz – Undoing Situations and Facilitating Change
MI – 528 Hz – Transformation and Miracles (DNA Repair)
FA – 639 Hz – Connecting/Relationships
SOL – 741 Hz – Awakening Intuition
LA – 852 Hz – Returning to Spiritual Order

For example, the third note, frequency 528, relates to the note MI on the scale and derives from the phrase "MI-ra gestorum" in Latin meaning "miracle." Stunningly, this is the exact frequency used by genetic biochemists to repair broken DNA – the genetic blueprint upon which life is based!

A Little History

At the turn of the century the awareness of DNA entered the collective consciousness of the world. We have incarnated into this human experience as divine beings with a blueprint, a set of instructions. We know that a very small percentage (3%) of those instructions make up our physiology.

Carl Sagan writes that most of our genetic information (about 97%) is unused DNA. He refers to this as "genetic gibberish." Is it possible that most of who we are still lies dormant as our human potential?

In the old paradigm of religion, "potential" remained a mystery to the human mind, therefore we coined a mystical term called "SPIRIT." "Spirit" was something that was detached from who we were, something we didn’t have and could only be gained through the systems of most religions.

The old paradigm and its premise stated that we began as biology in the womb of our mothers. Telliard deChardin tells us that we are not a human being trying to attain a spiritual experience, but, rather, we are spiritual beings having a human experience. This shift in perception causes a tremendous difference in the way we perceive ourselves in this third/fourth time-space continuum.

Poet Cathie Guzetta summarized this science best when she wrote:

"The forms of snowflakes and faces of flowers may take on their shape because they are responding to some sound in nature. Likewise, it is possible that crystals, plants, and human beings may be, in some way, music that has taken on visible form."

"exercise’s effects lasted longer than those of antidepressants" (reposted by JoDa Hodge)

Exercise and Depression - Harvard Health Publications

Exercise and Depression

(This article was first printed in the Special Health Report from Harvard Medical School "Understanding Depression". For more information or to order, please go to www.health.harvard.edu/UD.)

Can a few laps around the block actually solve your emotional problems? Probably not, but a regular exercise program might help. A review of studies stretching back to 1981 concluded that regular exercise can improve mood in people with mild to moderate depression. It also may play a supporting role in treating severe depression.

Another study, published in the Archives of Internal Medicine in 1999, divided 156 men and women with depression into three groups. One group took part in an aerobic exercise program, another took the SSRI sertraline (Zoloft), and a third did both. At the 16-week mark, depression had eased in all three groups. About 60%–70% of the people in all three groups could no longer be classed as having major depression. In fact, group scores on two rating scales of depression were essentially the same. This suggests that for those who need or wish to avoid drugs, exercise might be an acceptable substitute for antidepressants. Keep in mind, though, that the swiftest response occurred in the group taking antidepressants, and that it can be difficult to stay motivated to exercise when you’re depressed.

A follow-up to that study found that exercise’s effects lasted longer than those of antidepressants. Researchers checked in with 133 of the original patients six months after the first study ended. They found that the people who exercised regularly after completing the study, regardless of which treatment they were on originally, were less likely to relapse into depression.

A study published in 2005 found that walking fast for about 35 minutes a day five times a week or 60 minutes a day three times a week had a significant influence on mild to moderate depression symptoms. Walking fast for only 15 minutes a day five times a week or doing stretching exercises three times a week did not help as much. (These exercise lengths were calculated for someone who weighs about 150 pounds. If you weigh more, longer exercise times apply, while the opposite is true if you weigh less than 150 pounds.)

How does exercise relieve depression? For many years, experts have known that exercise enhances the action of endorphins, chemicals that circulate throughout the body. Endorphins improve natural immunity and reduce the perception of pain. They may also serve to improve mood. Another theory is that exercise stimulates the neurotransmitter norepinephrine, which may directly improve mood.

Besides lifting your mood, regular exercise offers other health benefits, such as lowering blood pressure, protecting against heart disease and cancer, and boosting self-esteem. How often or intensely you need to exercise to alleviate depression is not clear, but for general health, experts advise getting half an hour to an hour of moderate exercise, such as brisk walking, on all or most days of the week.

Brain-Healthy Spices You Should Be Using (Reposted by JoDa Hodge)

Brain-Healthy Spices You Should Be Using

authored by Sheryl Kraft

Science and research is a godsend, but it can get so darn confusing and frustrating sometimes. Take Alzheimer's disease; it's forever in the news. Brain games help, researchers say. Sleep and diet is important, scientists insist. Genes and exercise count, everyone agrees.

It's hard to keep up with everything; it all changes daily and sometimes, hourly. And the more I write about health and interview doctors and scientists and researchers, the more I realize that studies, even though they seem to say a lot, are oftentimes flawed, inconsistent, difficult to interpret and forever subject to change. But, alas, sometimes they're all we've got. So my theory is approach them with caution and skepticism. What's a no-no today can be heartily endorsed tomorrow. Bad news is the new good news. Yesterday's skepticism is today's miracle cure.

And then, just as I was feeling good and hopeful – writing about things we can do to keep our brains sharp – last night's gloom and doom news announced the NIH’s latest stance on Alzheimer's disease: the scientific evidence is not strong enough to make any recommendations to help prevent, or even slow it.

So…WHY do we need to know this? Does this mean we should give up our crossword puzzles, our exercises, our healthy lifestyles? Do we throw away the ginko biloba and fish oil because one of these panelists called them "garbage?" No, I say. This Matters> Keep exercising, keep socializing, keep on eating a healthy diet.

So, let's talk spices. There's new research (I know, there's that word again, but, hey, spices really seem kinda innocuous, you know?) that they are good for your brain. They may not be the anti-Alzheimer's panacea, but since we probably already have a lot of these in our kitchen, why not put them to good use?

Turmeric: There might be a reason that the rate of Alzheimer's in India is one-fourth of ours in the U.S. Curcumin, the active ingredient in turmeric (that's what gives curry its yellow color), breaks up brain plaques of amyloid beta (the abnormal protein buildup that is a hallmark of Alzheimer's). Curcumin has also been found to inhibit the growth of cancer cells and reduce inflammation. Just a teaspoon of curry powder (which is a blend of turmeric and other spices) is equal to ½ cup of red grapes in antioxidants. Oh, how this makes me wish I liked Indian food….

Saffron: What does this have in common with Prozac? In a 2007 study, it was found to work as well as the anti-depressant in treating mild-to-moderate depression. When my son visited Spain when he was in high school, my souvenir was 2 good-size bags of the stuff. (when I think about that, it's cute…after all, all you need to use is ½ teaspoon added to 2 cups of rice. If you need any saffron, call me.) Saffron is a concentrated source of antioxidants, on par with strawberries, cherries and raspberries.

Garlic: It may help fight brain cancer; garlic compounds, in a study, eliminated cancer cells. Of course, further studies need to be done to further test the effectiveness of this claim. But hey, garlic has so many other benefits, like possibly helping keep cholesterol low, so who knows what else is hidden behind those cloves?

Cinnamon: Cinnamon has one of the highest antioxidant levels of any spice – and even more than many foods. There are as many antioxidants in 1 teaspoon of cinnamon as a full cup of pomegranate juice or ½ cup of blueberries. And chewing cinnamon gum may keep your brain sharp: a recent study found that it speeds the rate at which your brain processes visual cues. (It may be because cinnamon also helps to regulate blood sugar levels – which is good news for diabetics – and by doing this, may help you stay focused).

Thyme: A teaspoon of thyme has about the same amount of antioxidants as a carrot of ½ a cup of chopped tomatoes. And the flavanoids in this spice give it antioxidant properties as well. There are some studies that suggest these antioxidants may have age-related benefits like helping to maintain cognitive function and promote heart health.

Coffee: Okay, I'm cheating; it's not a spice. But I wanted to sneak it in here because of this: Scientists have already documented coffee's ability to enhance learning and memory and speed the processing of information. Now new research published in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease says that coffee can also ward off some effects of aging on the brain. Previous research shows that caffeine can lessen the damage of Alzheimer's disease caused by the toxic peptide that forms plaques in the brains of Alzheimer patients. New findings show that women (not the same for men, for whatever reason) who drank 3 or more cups of coffee a day (or 6 cups of tea) were protected against the deterioration and loss of brain tissue. Caffeine also stimulates blood flow.
