CAN A VEGAN DIET LOWER TESTOSTERONE LEVELS?
CAN A VEGAN DIET LOWER TESTOSTERONE LEVELS?
http://www.livestrong.com/article/542648-can-a-vegan-diet-lower-testosterone-levels/#page=1
By eliminating meat, fish, poultry and all animal products from their diets, vegans can experience unwanted side effects related to hormone imbalances. Although they avoid the hormones found in some meat and dairy products, vegans tend to eat higher than average amounts of hormone-like compounds in plant foods. The nutritional content and health effects of vegan diets can both boost and lower testosterone levels. However, as long as you eat a balanced diet that includes adequate amounts of carbohydrates, protein, and zinc, eating a vegan diet should not lower your testosterone levels.

5 ways to de-stress and help your heart
Constant stress — whether from a traffic-choked daily commute, unhappy marriage, or heavy workload — can have real physical effects on the body. It has been linked to a wide range of health issues, including mood, sleep, and appetite problems — and yes, even heart disease.
The connection between chronic stress and heart disease isn’t well defined. It has been suggested that stress triggers inflammation, a known instigator of heart disease, but that hasn’t been proven. “I think the conventional opinion is that stress is bad for your heart, but the data are much murkier,” says Dr. Deepak Bhatt, director of the Integrated Interventional Cardiovascular Program at Brigham and Women’s Hospital.
Yet stress may influence heart disease in more subtle ways. “Stress does cause some people to act in ways that increase their risk for heart disease,” Dr. Bhatt says. For example, when stressed, people often eat unhealthy food and don’t have the energy or time to exercise. Stress can also lead us into other heart-damaging behaviors, such as smoking and drinking too much alcohol.
Breaking the connection requires both learning to deal with stress and managing unhealthy habits. These five simple tips can help you do just that.
(1) Stay positive. Laughter has been found to lower levels of stress hormones, reduce inflammation in the arteries, and increase “good” HDL cholesterol.
(2) Meditate. This practice of inward-focused thought and deep breathing has been shown to reduce heart disease risk factors such as high blood pressure. Meditation’s close relatives, yoga and prayer, can also relax the mind and body.
(3) Exercise. Every time you are physically active, whether you take a walk or play tennis, your body releases mood-boosting chemicals called endorphins. Exercising not only melts away stress, it also protects against heart disease by lowering your blood pressure, strengthening your heart muscle, and helping you maintain a healthy weight.
(4) Unplug. It’s impossible to escape stress when it follows you everywhere. Cut the cord. Avoid emails and TV news. Take time each day — even if it’s for just 10 or 15 minutes — to escape from the world.
(5) Find ways to take the edge off your stress. Simple things, like a warm bath, listening to music, or spending time on a favorite hobby, can give you a much-needed break from the stressors in your life.
Stress doesn’t have to ruin your life or your health. To learn more about how stress affects your health and well-being, and what to do about it, buy Stress Management, a Special Health Report from Harvard Medical School.

Whole Grains Help Keep You Strong
Fiber isn’t the whole story when it comes to whole grains. They've also got other nutrients, including B vitamins, which give you energy. They're rich in folate, which help build red blood vessels. They're packed with minerals like magnesium and selenium, which help your body make bone and strengthen your immune system. Whole grains also have natural plant nutrients that can fight disease.

Can scalp massage prevent baldness?
There’s simply no evidence that scalp massage prevents baldness, tempting as it is to believe.
If you see something unusual on your skin or have concerns about how to keep your skin healthy, talk to your doctor or dermatologist. And if you hear someone repeating these skin myths, you can set them straight.

Headache? Have at Least a Cup of Plant Protein Daily - by Dr. OZ
Headache? Have at Least a Cup of Plant Protein Daily - by Dr. OZ
Peas and lentils are great sources of vegetable protein. Other great examples include nuts and seeds like sunflower and hemp seeds, or whole grains like millet, quinoa or steel-cut oats. Remember all natural plant foods (except fruit) have adequate protein. o
These nourish your body with important nutrients; they do not give you excess nitrogen or acidify your tissues like animal protein does. One anti-aging secret and the secret to getting rid of headaches is to eat more plant protein and less animal protein. You will probably never experience a headache again if you use these foods as your major source of protein.
How to Keep Your Skin Glowing
· Don't smoke. It ages your skin and encourages wrinkling.
· Eat lots of fruits, vegetables, lean protein, and whole grains for healthy skin.
· Exercise every day. Exercising helps your skin by increasing blood flow. And sweating flushes out dirt from your skin.
· Find ways to de-stress. Stress can make your skin more sensitive and worsen breakouts.
· Stay out of the sun. Get a fake tan if you want more color.

Chinese book 1日5分鐘の排毒奇蹟《1日5分钟的排毒奇迹》【书名】1日5分钟的排毒奇迹 -- 語言:繁體中文
1日5分鐘の排毒奇蹟:每天喝種子熱穀漿
The following is from http://www.books.com.tw/products/0010646891
- 定價:369元
- 優惠價:79折292元
- 優惠期限:2014年12月31日止
每天喝【種子熱穀漿】x【排毒蔬果汁】,5分鐘喝出抗癌力
100道獨創「對症養生飲品」大公開!
癌症、高血壓、糖尿病、三高、老化,開始改善!
經過君君老師多年的研究,每天只需5分鐘的「輕排毒養生法」終於誕生了!這是一套利用天然食物來排毒的養生法,利用各式種子及蔬果的特性,不但輕鬆吃進蔬果中的植化素,還能補充體力。每天只需5分鐘,用【種子熱穀漿】喚醒身體,再用【排毒蔬果汁】補充體力,輕鬆喝出「抗病體質」。
◆喝對了,自然就健康!蔬果汁及穀漿,這樣喝才有效
君君老師總是笑著說:「只要吃對食物,除了外表,連身體都會越來越好,甚至改善疾病。」除了自己身體力行外,許多學員們也因此找回健康,見證人數不斷激增中。到底,老師的穀漿和蔬果汁有什麼特點呢?其實,因為現代人都「吃錯了」,當然不健康。掌握6大技巧,就能喝出抗病體質,包括:
(1)吃多少,由牙齒比例來決定,太多太少都不行
人類應遵循身體構造來飲食才對,因此,我們有20顆臼齒、8顆門齒及4顆犬齒,代表每天必須吃62.5%的種子(五穀雜糧)、25%的蔬果及12.5%的魚肉,亂吃或吃錯,當然不健康。
(2)每天喝【種子熱穀漿】及【排毒蔬果汁】
兩種飲品都沒有飲用時間的限制,早上先喝一杯熱穀漿,可喚醒身體的活力及補充微量元素,下午可再用排毒蔬果汁補充流失的體力,輕鬆喝出抗病力。
(3)別把蔬果汁變成果蔬汁,蔬菜量一定要多於水果
很多人怕菜味,導致打汁時,蔬果的比例差距太大,整杯只喝到水果的甜味,建議一杯蔬果汁中,葉菜類至少要有2~3種,根莖類則佔3~5種。
(4)連同果皮、果肉及種子一起打,完整吃進植化素
千萬別把蔬果的皮及種子丟掉,除了皮及種子也富含營養外,要吃下整個蔬果,才能攝取到最完整的植化素,這也是一種「全營養」的概念。
(5)蔬果搭配有訣竅,獨家黃金比例,效果看得見
君君老師的獨家配方,除了對症療效確實外,口感更是好喝,連怕苦味或挑食的人,都能輕鬆入口,不再害怕蔬果汁的味道。
(6)加點三寶粉,補充營養,還可中和蔬果的寒性
如果擔心蔬果汁太寒,只要打汁時加點三寶粉(大豆卵磷脂、啤酒酵母、小麥胚芽)就能改善,甚至還能補充基礎營養,妙用無窮。
◆超簡單!每天只需5分鐘的排毒奇蹟,改善常見疾病
除了熟知食物特性外,考量到現代人忙碌的情形,君君老師多年來堅持「簡單、有效、每天做得到」這9字箴言,希望用最簡單的方法,讓大家獲得最多的營養。本書中收錄常見的20種疾病,即高血壓、糖尿病、失眠、更年期、胃痛等。目前已有許多病友透過這套食療法找回健康,排毒奇蹟不斷增加中,包括:
‧原本已服用降壓藥15年,開始運動及喝【降壓西芹精力湯】後,4個月內開始減藥,現在已完全不需服藥,血壓也不再飆高了。──70多歲,郭老先生
‧從年輕時就有嚴重失眠問題,自律神經也失調,開始泡澡及喝【安睡五穀漿】後,不但排除身體毒素,也能一覺到天明了。──45歲,羅先生
‧原本每天得吃10幾顆藥丸,除了糖尿病,還有高血壓及心臟病,接觸食療及開始喝【苦瓜籽穀漿】後,血糖和血壓終於正常,也不用再打胰島素了。──60多歲,許先生
‧罹患肝癌並已接受栓塞治療,身體極度虛弱,開始排毒及食療後,用【抗癌精力湯】及【蘋果胡蘿蔔汁】改變體內環境,戰勝癌症,連醫生都說是「奇蹟」。──60歲,林先生
‧更年期症狀嚴重,因熱潮紅讓身體一直處於高溫,開始排毒及常喝【逆齡黃豆漿】後,約3個月就大幅改善,體溫終於不會一直升高了。──50多歲,趙女士
◆如何有效排毒及吃對食物?植化素達人才懂的養生觀,首度公開!
‧精選10大救命好食物,教你正確「吃出健康」。
‧挑選一台好的調理機,讓你事半功倍,養生更有效。
‧製作排毒蔬果汁的5大重點,這樣打最安心。
‧輕斷食也能排毒!最有效的「一日淨化餐」大公開

作者介紹
郭素君博士(君君老師)
美國University of Natural Medicine自然醫學博士,主攻疾病自然療法及對症食療研究,長期推廣第七類營養素「植化素」,是國內首屈一指的生機飲食養生專家,目前為民視「元氣加油站」節目固定示範老師,及各大媒體受邀採訪的養生專家。「簡單、有效,每天做得到!」更是老師多年來奉行的養生九字箴言。
多年來本著對於食物的了解,已幫助上萬名病友透過「天然食物」找回健康。君君老師認為,「飲食」和「生活方式」錯誤,正是導致現代人常生病的原因。在幫助病友康復的過程中她也發現,就算已選擇天然有機食材,很多人還是容易「吃錯食物」,無法達到改善和預防的效果。
因此,除了在養生節目上親自示範對症食療的作法外,也希望將「正確飲食」的觀念,透過書籍分享給大家。
