Exercise is not only good for your waistline but it is also good for your brain. The University of Colorado Boulder recently discovered that even a minimal amount of exercise can help to protect against brain damage and memory loss . Microglial cells are the immune defense cells of the brain, these cells are known to become more reactive to infection with age resulting in excess damage to the brain including the memory centers. The researchers at University of Colorado Boulder wanted to know if there was any way to prevent or even eliminate this process in order to preserve memory with age. Their conclusion was very simple, exercise is good for the brain!The study showed that even small amounts of exercise profoundly reduced the amount of inflammation in the brain and it’s residual memory impairments. Research has previously shown that dementia often follows bacterial infections, such as pneumonia or E.coli, due to the release of inflammatory cytokines. It would stand to reason that if one could reduce brain inflammation and cytokine release they would also reduce the damage associated with memory loss.
A regular routine of voluntary exercise does just that, it is the easiest and most cost effective way to prevent dementia. If you have ever known someone affected by memory loss it is one of the most difficult and debilitating conditions one can face. Being proactive with a fitness routine now before the onset of memory loss can arm your body with the ability to fight bacterial infections, minimize brain damage and conserve memory for many more years.

It’s October and that means the “Think Pink Movement” is in full swing to raise awareness about, and money for breast cancer. Finding a cure for breast cancer seems to be the main focus, but what about the importance of preventing cancer? Who is educating the public on preventive care? Where is the message about taking all the necessary steps and recommendations to avoid getting cancer in the first place?
The human body is amazing. It is capable of healing itself in many ways and is amazingly equipped to fight cancer! It’s hard to believe, but every day your body develops hundreds or even thousands of cancer cells. Your body’s immune system seeks out these cancerous cells and destroys them. THIS OCCURS WITHOUT A CONSCIOUS THOUGHT! However, when the immune system is compromised or the body is overloaded with toxins, carcinogens, or suffers from a poor diet and lack of exercise, the body is no longer able to keep up with the speed at which the cancer cells are dividing and growing.
Cancer typically develops and grows in the body for years or even decades before it is detected and diagnosed. Scary, isn’t it! That is why it is so important to make sure that everything that enters your body is PURE (not toxic), NATURAL, and NOURISHING. It’s easy to be fooled by today’s marketing machines. Labels that ride the edge of legality and are only required to list an ingredient if over a certain percentage, are everywhere! That’s why it is up to us to take control of our health and practice the preventive care. That not only makes sense, but is purely reasonable and easy.
PART I – The Nutritional “Culprits”
The following are some examples of foods that are common in our diets and that help to promote cancerous cells. (And no, it will not say that on the label).
These foods CAUSE cancer:

Ingredients
3 large garlic cloves, pressed or finely chopped
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 – 1/2 teaspoon dried hot red-pepper flakes
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 chicken breast halves (bone-in with skin)
Preheat oven to 500°F with oven rack in upper third.
Mash garlic into a paste with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir in oregano, red-pepper flakes, oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
Cut a 2-inch-long slit, about 1 1/2 inches deep, in side of each breast half and spread 1/2 teaspoon garlic mixture into each pocket. Coat chicken with remaining garlic mixture.
Roast chicken, skin sides up, in a shallow baking pan until just cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes.

For the past several years, physicians in America have been insisting that every child age 6 months to 18 years must get an annual flu shot. Making matters worse, health officials have now ramped up those recommendations, telling every person over the age of 6 months get a flu shot, healthy or not, low risk or high. Everyone! Three hundred million of you, every year from the year you are born until the year you die.
But hold on a minute. There's something fishy about this. Because human antibodies normally last a lifetime, remember? That's why you don't get the chicken pox over and over again; because the first time you got the chicken pox as a kid, your body created chicken pox antibodies and those antibodies last a lifetime. Your immune system provides you with lifetime immunity from chicken pox.
CDC officials believe that a year after someone gets the flu shot, antibody levels as an indicator of immunity can fall by two-thirds or more. Some key studies indicate the resulting levels are not strong enough to be protective, said Nancy Cox, head of the CDC's chief of the CDC's flu division.¹ Vaccines must not help the body produce antibodies then, because if that was true, whoever had the influenza vaccine would have lifetime immunity to those specific strains. However, many times a person will get the actual condition after being vaccinated. This is one way we can see that they are ineffective overall and actually hurt the immune system.
According to the NVIC (National Vaccine Information Center), vaccines are immune suppressive, which means they suppress your immune system, which may not return to normal for weeks to months. They are also shown to have an effect on brain function, DNA/RNA, t-cell function, and the cardiovascular system being linked to chronic conditions such as autoimmune disorders, allergies, and cancer.
