Are you eating your purple?

PURPLE is the new green that can keep YOU healthy!

Most people consider ‘green’ foods to be the healthiest colour in their diet, when in fact ‘purple’ foods contain 10 times the health benefits!

Foods such as blackcurrant, acai, mangosteen, and pomegranate are all considered ‘purple foods’.  These purple foods guard against ageing, joint inflammation, eyestrain, kidney stones, cardiovascular disease, cancer and urinary tract infections.

Ever wonder how these fruits get their deep purple color? It comes from the high level of anthocyanins contained within the fruit. These anthocyanins have strong anti-inflammatory properties and are being studied for a potential role in preventing Alzheimer’s disease and for preserving overall memory and brain health. The anthocyanins found in blackcurrant are also thought to protect against heart disease.

Look & Feel Younger

The pursuit of the fountain of youth is now widespread and mainstream. Gone are the days when only models, rich people, and Hollywood stars worried about aging. It has become a global obsession as witnessed by the massive increase in cosmetic surgery, treatments, pills and injections. Nips, tucks, tidy ups of all sorts are commonplace as anyone over 30 wants to keep looking as youthful as possible.

Many of these people are spending big bucks yet the most aging of changes is right under their noses but many people are lazy and think they can slow down the aging process by merely spending money and not having to exert themselves in any way. But this is not so.

The Importance of Walking:-)

Walking can add minutes to your life.
This enables you at 85 years old
to spend an additional 5 months in a nursing
home at $7000 per month.

I like long walks,
especially when they are taken
by people who annoy me.

The only reason I would take up walking
is so that I could hear heavy breathing again.

I have to walk early in the morning,
before my brain figures out what I’m doing..

Every time I hear the dirty word ‘exercise’,
I wash my mouth out with chocolate.
