It is June 2010 - How is your health?
Give me 6 weeks.
I'll give you back your youth and vigor.
That's a promise.
There is a fountain of youth, and it is circulating in the Qi/Chi of live whole foods flowing through bok choy, the likes of shitake mushrooms, high quality supplements and the Five Tibetan exercises.

One's skin, hair, energy, mood, attitude, vitality and vigor can be impacted by the level of nutrition we get with our diet. The Fountain of Youth starts from the inside -out at the cellular level.
According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) a diet is all about nutrition and longevity. Everything in nature has a value, property, taste and attributes. In essence everything is an herb!
Superior food grade herbs are unique foods that cleanse, nourish and repair. Premium or medicinal grade herbs are used by a practitioner to disperse pathogens, strengthen and tonify organ systems. Toxic or fine grade herbs have adverse effect and used with caution.
Western medicine differentiate at an isolated level such as categorizing foods that are rich sources of antioxidants—food substances that slow down cell damage and may improve immune function and lower cancer risks. Every day more research emerges that supports the health benefits of an antioxidant-rich diet. So whether you want to know more about foods that grow you young from the Chinese or Western point of view - read on to find out how you can get more of them.
"What do antioxidants do, exactly? Why does the metal or steel on a car rust or oxidize easitly? Because it enters into a combination with oxygen and moister and converts into an oxide.Over time oxygen starts to wear the the metal or steel down, allowing for damage in vulnerable places. Oxygen works on your body over time, too, and causes a sort of rusting of the human. We call it "free radicals": dehydration, wrinkles, cancers or heart disease.
Antioxidants work to capture “free radicals” or unstable molecules that are a byproduct of oxygen. These free radicals damage your body’s cells, tissues and DNA. Consider constant exposure to radiation, cell phones, heavy metals, cigarette smoke and excess sun exposure can also form free radicals. We can bind the action of these free radicals by eating a variety of antioxidant-rich foods. We can protect our cells and organ systems as well as our skin from the sun and kicking the smoking habit.
Food for Thought, in Traditional Chinese Medincine:
Black berries and citrus fruits like lemon or tangerine are cleansing foods.
Green leafy vegetables like bok choy and spinach are repair foods.
Millet, yams are carbohydrates and fuel foods.
Fish, Shitake mushroom and tofu are building foods.
Food supplements are of extreme value to maintain repair and regeneration process.
Here are my Premium Select Favorites:
Xango brand mangosteen juice is a whole food puree and is an excellent cleansing food.
Eleviv is a formula of supplements for the heart and kidney relationship for stress, vitality and vigor.Salu International Resveratrol Blend is a supplement from grape skin for repair and regeneration.
MSM (Methyl-Sulfonyl-Methane) is an organic source of sulfur found in organic fruits and mother's milk replaces the moister back into the cells, skin and hair.
According to TCM food also have tastes that impact the body and can be used to guide foods or herbs to specific parts of the body. Her are the five tastes: sour, bitter, sweet, acrid and salty.
Sour for the Liver and Gallbladder.
Bitter for the Heart and Small Intestines.
Sweet for the Spleen and Stomach.
Acrid for the Lungs and Large Intestines.
Salty for the Kidney and Urinary Bladder.
To Your Health, Wealth and Prosperity
