Herbs Against Cancer

More than 120 herbs and traditional medicines will eventually be evaluated by Campbell’s team and others at UCSF.

16 of the herbs tested so far have been deemed “highly active” against breast cancer cell growth.

Among these, rz rhei, a Chinese Rhubarb root, was especially promising in laboratory tests.

Other herbs that showed significant anti-cancer activity in laboratory tests included ban zhi lian, zhi mu, and wang bu liu xing.

These may be the focus of future clinical trials in human breast cancer
and other patients.

Americans are turning more and more often to herbal remedies as a natural alternative to drugs.

But before you head off to the health food store for that bottle of St. John's wort or kava kava, you should know that natural does not necessarily mean safer.

In fact, evidence is mounting that some of the most popular herbs can have serious side effects.

Brown fat - New kid n the block !!!


Currently, the only safe way to activate brown fat is to stay cold , however, the only safe way to activate brown fat is to remain cold enough to be on the verge of shivering… for a long period of time.

This recreates the scenario that led to the evolution of brown fat: life-threatening cold in creatures that couldn’t put on clothes to stay warm.


It’s important to maintain a proper balance of brown fat in the body.

If you’re carrying too much or too little weight, not only are the calorie-burning benefits mostly negated, but you become more vulnerable to diseases such as Type 2 diabetes.

Generally, a lean form is most ideal to maintain the body’s energy balance, yet according to Brown, it is unclear whether brown fat is the cause of leanness or its result.

How To Lose Belly Fat With A 3 Minute Workout


Are you looking to change the shape of your body or trying to lose belly fat without joining a high priced gym?

If so, try this high energized cardiovascular fitness routine :

With this 3 minute exercise routine you can burn up to 150 calories every single day.

The first two minutes of this fat burning routine is:
Jump Rope - Begin by performing two jumps for each turn of the rope. Safety: Use the correct size jump rope and always land softly on the balls of your feet (that is the upper part of the bottom of your foot). Keep thinking I am losing weight.

Minutes two to three:
Squat Thrust into a Push Up. The proper technique for this exercise is to stand with your feet shoulder width apart and your arms strait down next to your sides. Slowly squat down with your head forward and bring your hands to the floor just outside of your feet. Your hands should be pointing forward as well. Then in one movement, push your legs back and out behind you (into a pushup position). Perform one strict pushup and then jump back into your squat position and then stand back up. Keep thinking, the fat is vanishing.

good luck !!

Can massaging the skin on the face and neck cause damage?


There are two layers of skin; the dermis and the epidermis.
Then there is another layer under these, called the subcutaneous layer.
All these layers together are essentially the thickness of typing paper on the face.
This subcutaneous layer also contains fat.
It's often called the subcutaneous layer of fat.

If you pinch and roll this layer you can actually break it down, causing damage.

Instead, you can gently work the face through massage and exercise, keeping in mind that "gentle" is the key word here and something miraculous happens.

But first a little talk about how the muscles attach in the body and in the face.

Muscles do attach from bone to bone in the body, essentially and from the bone directly into the skin on the face.

In the western culture where we show a lot of emotions on our face and therefore habitually create expression, we tend to create lines on our faces.

We are not creating lines in the muscles, but rather we're creating lines in this subcutaneous layer.. the analogy being as if you were to "score" cardboard… we tend to "score" this subcutaneous layer and the lines are created as we repeat a particular expression over and over again.

Do you reccomend Atkins Diet ?


high-protein ? high-fat ? very low-carbohydrate regimen ?

Atkins Diet emphasizes meat, cheese, and eggs, while discouraging foods such as bread, pasta, fruit, and sugar.

People with diabetes taking insulin are at risk of becoming hypoglycemic if they do not eat appropriate foods.

Also, persons who exercise every day may get low energy levels and muscle fatigue from low carbohydrate intake.
