The reason cranberries are thought to be special is that they contain substances called proanthocyanidins which are thought to prevent bacteria from sticking to the wall of the bladder.
Apple and grape juice and dark chocolate also contain proanthocyanidins, but not the right kind. So it is plausible that drinking cranberry juice could help to prevent cystitis.
A systematic review of studies published last year found that products containing cranberries reduced the risk of infection,

#Eating Almonds Can Help the Body Fight off Viruses Eating almonds boosts immune system response to viruses.
Eating almonds can help the body to fight off viral infections such as the common cold and flu, according to new research.
They discovered that even after the almonds had been digested in the gut there was still an increase in the immune systems defence against viruses.
They said although they have still to carry out research on how many almonds must be eaten to obtain a beneficial effect,
it was likely that eating almonds regularly could help protect people from becoming infected with viruses in the first place,
and was funded by the Almond Board of California, found that even after digestion in a laboratory simulation of a human gut,
the almonds skins were still able to increase the immune response. They tested the immune response to infection by the Herpes simplex virus 2,
which is common process to remove skins from almonds, had little effect on the immune system.
oeit is an area of huge interest to find natural alternatives that will have an antiviral activity. oenutritional guidelines recommend eating around three ounces a day to benefit from the fibre and other nutritional components in almonds,
if almond skins have this antiviral activity. oethe herpes simplex virus is a very good model of viral infection
so because the almonds had an impact on this virus, it is fair to assume that it will have an impact on other viruses.

#Watermelon May Cut the Risk of Heart attacks and Strokes Watermelon lowers blood pressure. A dose of watermelon a day could help keep high blood pressure at bay.
Researchers have discovered that the fruit is rich in compounds that widen blood vessels -and may cut the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
And a daily fix of its juices could be enough to lower blood pressure in patients suffering from hypertension, according to a study.
High blood pressure, which affects more than 16million men and women in the UK, doubles the risk of a fatal heart attack or stroke and is blamed for more than 60,
But watermelon is an edible source of L-citrulline-a compound vital in the production of nitric oxide,

The researchers found that watermelons with orange flesh contain more L-citrulline than those with red flesh.
Watermelon is also a good source of potassium, which is thought to lower blood pressure. And lycopene, the pigment that gives the fruit its colour,
is credited with a host of health benefits, from warding off cancer to boosting fertility. Fortunately for those who arent fond of the fruit
the L-citrulline compound can also be bought in pill form. Via Daily mail Share Thissubscribedel. icio. usfacebookredditstumbleupontechnorati T

#Bras Used To Help Support Massive Melons Vine breaking galia melons now supported with bra power Fruity farmer Rowie Meers has found the perfect way to support her giant melons using old bras.
Rowie Meers, 45, came up with the idea after her crop of galia melons grew so big they threatened to break the vines they grow on.
she realised the answer was quite literally right under her nose Rowie discovered that DD bras are perfect to support a pair of juicy water melons as they grow.
We had such a fantastic crop of galia melons and I was struggling to stop them swinging too low.
because they suspend my melons very well, so lets use them for this. Rowie, who only started growing galia melons this year,
said: My own cup was not really big enough to hold the melons so we asked our customers to send in their bras.
Weve been sent all kinds from padded to lacy. We appreciate their support in more ways than one especially the double D cups.
It does make my polytunnel of melons look a bit odd, but its great fun. Ive even considered using it as a chat up line!

#Organic Strawberries Have Better Taste and Nutrition Than Conventional According to a New Study Organic strawberries In the tug of war over whether organic farming is really better than conventional chemical-laden farming,
a new study in the online peer-reviewed journal PLOS One comes out solidly in support of the benefits of organic.
Self-described as the most comprehensive study of its kind, researchers from Washington state University found that commercial organic farms produce was more flavorful and nutritious strawberries,
as well as the taste, nutrition and quality of three strawberry varieties on 13 organic farms and 13 chemical farms in California, where 90%of the US strawberry crop is grown.
The organic strawberries had significantly higher antioxidant activity and concentrations of ascorbic acid and phenolic compounds.
The organic strawberries had longer shelf life. The organic strawberries had more dry matter, or, oemore strawberry in the strawberry.
Anonymous testers, working at times under red light so the fruit color would not bias them, found one variety of organic strawberries was sweeter,
had better flavor, and once a white light was turned on, appearance. The testers judged the two other varieties to be similar.
As far as soil quality goes, DNA analysis showed the organically managed soils to have more total and unique genes,
as well as greater genetic diversity. Organic soils also were superior in carbon sequestration, microbial biomass, enzyme activity, and micronutrients.
Anthocyanins provide the dark colours of many fruits and vegetables such as blueberries and red peppers. They are
what makes black rice black. Research suggests that the dark plant antioxidants, which mop up harmful molecules,
Just a spoonful of black rice bran contains more health promoting anthocyanin antioxidants than are found in a spoonful of blueberries,
If berries are used to boost health, why not black rice and black rice bran? Especially, black rice bran would be a unique and economical material to increase consumption of health-promoting antioxidants.
Eskenazi said in a statement. oei would recommend thoroughly washing fruits and vegetables before eating them,
Follow with a sugar drizzle, a chunk of banana, a chocolate drizzle, a fudge ball, a whipped cream rosette,
and a bit of fruit. Some people like maraschino cherries. I think theyre disgusting. I prefer fresh strawberry instead.
Serve immediately. If you need to wait a bit before serving get a nice big lump of clay and stick it on a sheet pan.
Assemble the sticks except for the strawberry. Stick the bottoms of the sticks in the clay and put it in the freezer;
In this case, slide the strawberry on right before serving. YUMMMY! Share Thissubscribedel. icio. usfacebookredditstumbleupontechnorati l
