by  N.Morgan The pomegranate is a fruit-bearing deciduous shrub in the family Lythraceae, subfamily Punicoideae, that grows between 5 and 10 m tall. The pomegranate originated in the region extending from Iran to northern India and has been cultivated since ancient times throughout the Mediterranean region .  One of the oldest known fruits, found in writings and artifacts of many cultures and religions, the pomegranate (Punica granatum) is an original native of Persia. This nutrient-dense, antioxidant-rich fruit has been revered as a symbol of health, fertility and eternal life. There are many that believe that pomegranates were in the Garden of Eden. Maybe that is why it is such a miracle fruit? Pomegranate juice is available year-round, but you can purchase fresh pomegranates in most grocery stores from September through January. When refrigerated in a plastic bag, pomegranates keep for up to 2 months. A compound found only in pomegranates called punicalagin ...

by  N.Morgan Researchers have discovered that  severe emotional distress can damage the heart  physically, much like a heart attack. At least 3,000 adults in the U.K. suffer from Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, colloquially termed as the “broken heart syndrome,” each year. It is caused by bereavement and severe emotional distress, which stuns and weakens the heart. This causes the left ventricle – one of the main chambers of the heart – to change shape. The deformed heart looks similar to an octopus pot, or “takotsubo” in Japanese, which gave the condition its name. Doctors have long presumed that the damage was temporary and would eventually heal over time. (Related:  Broken hearts may actually be able to cause death .) Interestingly,  a major project by Swiss researchers  last year found that the condition can also be triggered by extreme happiness as well as sorrow. Researchers at the  University of Aberdeen  have discovered that the c...

by  N.Morgan The arteries a major player in the circulatory system and play a large role in one’s  health . They are responsible for the delivery of  oxygen  and nutrients to all cells, the removal of carbon dioxide and waste products, the maintenance of optimum blood pH, and responsible for the circulation of proteins and cells of the immune system. It’s very important to keep the arteries clean and unclogged to prevent any possible cardiovascular diseases, and thankfully there are healthy, natural foods that can help us! 1. Onions When we think of  heart-healthy  food, onions aren’t usually the first thing to come to mind. However, a  study  concluded that the quercetin found in onions can significantly reduce high blood pressure in hypertensive adults. Dr. Jonathan Stegall explains that  “Onions are involved in maintaining good blood pressure, inhibit hardening of the arteries, and keep the arteries elastic.”   2...

7 Ways To Prevent And Even Reverse Heart Disease With Nutrition  Considering that heart disease is the #1 cause of death in the developed world, anything that can prevent cardiac mortality, or slow or even reverse the cardiovascular disease process, should be of great interest to the general public. Sadly, millions of folks are unaware of the extensive body of biomedical literature that exists supporting the use of natural compounds for preventing and even reversing heart disease. Instead, they spend billions buying highly toxic cholesterol-lowering pharmaceuticals with known cardiotoxicity , among 300 other proven side effects, simply because their doctor told them to do so. So, with this in mind, let’s look at the biomedical literature itself. More http://bit.ly/1R9yD08 'via Blog this'
