Feng Shui . THE YANG AND YIN
26/10/09
The aim of Feng Shui is to balance the energies by controlling our surrounding and food we eat. Here are some points to keep in mind about healthy eating.
To develop more enthusiasm in your changing eating style, try sleeping with your head pointing south-east or east. Sleeping with the head pointing north-west will discipline helping you to stick to your diet programme.The southwest area of the room (preferably the bedroom and/or living room) is deemed to hold the strongest energy for love and passion. The rose quartz is a symbol of love and healing, so displaying it would help improve your relationships, and perhaps invite a new love into your life. Also effective is to hang a picture of a fox amid bright flowers
The only fox picture I could find was this one. of Megan Fox it worked for me
Place bright green coloured items in the bedroom and plants and moving water features like an aquarium in the eastern area of your house to enhance the eastern Chi.
Kitchen garden is one of the most powerful way to invite the energy of earth into your environment. Even the smallest kitchen can keep a small pot of herbs like coriander, mint, lemon grass or curry patta on the windowsill. These bring vitality in your home
Purchase fresh ingredients as processed food has stagnant Chi. Keeping bowl of fresh fruit can attract positive Chi into your kitchen.
Balance your meat and vegetables intake and be sure your meals include fresh vegetables. Meat alone is too yang and leads to health problems.
If you eat lots of hot and spicy foods, you are eating more yang than yin. If you eat lots of food that is grown underground, you are having more yin food.

HEALTH IN A PILL
23/10/09
The Mediterranean diet which has proven time and time again to be one of the most effective ways of keeping your heart healthy has been given further importance 
by scientists who have developed a pill which they say mimics its benefits.which protect the human heart from damage.The Mediterranean diet is favoured not only for its health properties but also because it is such a tasty, varied and fun diet to follow. If your Diet is boring you should switch to a Mediterranean diet which has a bigger variety and a better than most other eating plans.
The pill is called ATERONON.Ateronon is said to provide the antioxidants which protect the human heart from damage.
Researchers on both sides of the Atlantic are busy conducting clinical trials to see exactly how effective the Ateronon pills are and whether they should be prescribed on a larger scale. Research projects are taking place at Harvard Medical School and Cambridge University as well as at other institutions in Finland and in Italy. All of the research projects will involve placebo tablets been given to half of the participants so that the results have clinical integrity.
The principal active ingredient of Ateronon is the compound lycopene which is an antioxidant found in tomatoes. Lycopene is said to prevent the breakdown of fat in the bloodstream which causes unhealthy cholesterol and which ultimately leads to fatty deposits forming in arteries. By mixing the lycopene compound along with other compounds they have made it easier to absorb and thus possibly even more effective than eating tomatoes on a regular basis and following Mediterranean diet.
It has always baffled scientists that the Mediterranean people who consume plenty of fat have good hearts. The secret however is that the Mediterranean diet consists of a lot of natural fat, a big variety of fruits and vegetables and a balance of every single food type

Licorice Extract .New Weight Loss supplement
Results of a study published in a journal called Obesity Research and Clinical Practice show that licorice flavonoid oil, taken as a supplement, could help speed metabolism among people who take it in conjunction with a regimen of diet and exercise.
Researchers observed 84 participants over the course of two months as they combined doses of licorice flavonoid oil with a weight loss program. All men and women in the study were moderately overweight and were made to consume the same calorie count. Some were given placebo pills. But after eight weeks, those who had taken up to 900 milligrams of the real licorice supplement showed greater loss of total body fat and LDL cholesterol, also known as the “bad” kind. According to the literature, no negative side effects
Why did it work? Researchers believe the extract blocks fat from synthesizing and increases the activity of enzymes involved in fat breakdown. That said, testing continues and doctors have released no official consensus
