The scientists don’t know why but they can measure the results; beetroot juice lowers your blood pressure.

This is what they found:
Drink 2 cups of beetroot juice a day to effectively lower your blood pressure.
- It only takes 1 hour for the effect to be measurable.
- The effect lasts up to 24 hours.
- The peak is 3-4 hours after intake.
The power food beetroot has many more great health benefits:
- It is loaded with flavonoid antioxidants.
- It has cleansing and detoxifying properties.
- It is full of nutrients.
- It is a rich source of folic acid, which is not only crucial during pregnancy it also protects our hearts.
- It contains the mineral silica, which helps the body utilize calcium.
Only 4 ounces of raw beetroot will give you 20% of your RDI of anti-oxidants and 50% of your RDI of folic acid.
Pickled beetroot has lost half of its folic acid but it still contains antioxidants.

How to naturally Stimulate Hair Regrowth after Pregnancy
May 22, 2008 by Carolin · Leave a Comment
Hair loss is a problem for many men. But many of us women loose hair too. To lose hair during pregnancy is nothing uncommon.
Experts say that it is normal and the hair grows back. My daughter in now 16 months old and my new hair is about 2 inches long.
But what if you have lost a lot of hair and don’t feel like waiting year before it is back to full length?
Here are some natural ways to stimulate hair regrowth:
Increase blood circulation in you scalp with a daily scalp massage and vitamin B.
Zinc stimulates hair growth. You need about 50 ml a day.
I prefer getting my vitamins from my food instead of supplements. If you eat 5 portions of fresh fruits and vegetables a day you get enough vitamin B and zinc plus also vitamin C and iron which are also important for a healthy hair.
But if you really feel that you want to boost your vitamin/mineral intake a very good and inexpensive way is to eat sprouts. Use them in salads, on bread, on cereal or just as snack. The seeds are very cheap and all you need to sprout them is a colander.
-
Rye and sunflower sprouts are especially good for your vitamin B intake.
-
Pumpkin sprouts are great if you need extra zinc.

Easy Exercises To Improve Your Memory
August 13, 2007 by Carolin · Leave a Comment
Do you forget where you put your car keys?
Or maybe you’re like me; I forget people’s names.
Maybe you’re worried about getting dementia as you age.
Either way our mind needs to be challenged just like the rest of our bodies. Scientists have shown that exercising the brain can prevent dementia.
Neurobics, by professor Larry Katz, is brain exercise to help prevent mental aging. Neurobics challenges all our senses as well as the communication between the right and the left brain.
One thing I really like about neurobis that you do not need to set a lot of extra time aside. Nope, these exercises will not take a lot of time, just implement them in your daily routine.
Here are some exercises that fit right into your daily schedule:
- Listen to music and smell something unusual at the same time
- Choose a different route when you go to work our to the grocery store
- Do you grocery shopping at the farmers market instead of in your regular grocery store
- Take a shower and wash your hair with your eyes closed
- Take another seat at the breakfast table
- Get dressed with your eyes closed
- Feel the different textures of your clothes with your hands before you get dressed
- Brush your teeth with your other hand
- Use ear plug during dinner (something I highly recommend if you have more than 2 kids)
- Read to somebody
- Have sex
- Learn a foreign language or sign language
- Do sudoko or play chess
- Do diagonal exercises like yoga, juggle or walking with poles.
- Be socially active
Our brains need stimulation through our whole lives. If we don’t challenge our brains it stagnates, just like the rest of our bodies.
But it’s not only us 30+ers who need brain stimulation. Children have to learn a lot. Stimulation between the right and the left brain (like neurobics) can be helpful and improve their learning curve.
