Oh, my is another summer about to evaporate just like that? No, problem here comes my favorite season.

And on to our new issue of Healthy World Digest...


* A little exercise goes a long way

Yep, that’s what a leading medical journal, The Lancet asserts. Their review of exercise studies suggested that just 15 minutes of exercise daily adds about 3 years to the average lifespan.

Just 15 minutes.


* It’s nothing Mr. Jones, just some dehydration

We have previously referenced the dehydration effects on an American baseball player. Now, again, a well-known Welsh singer and personal fave, Tom Jones, cancels a concert because of a “heart scare.” Turns out he was just a little dehydrated.

That’s just the way dehydration works. It makes the body mimic serious medical disorders and we believe it might bring on some serious medical conditions.

Why take chances? Stay hydrated. Drink lots of healthy water.


* Supplement for hair

Zinc helps produce keratin which is the protein you need to grow healthy hair. Buy in supplement form or just get your zinc from good dark chocolate, oysters or liver. Yummy.


* Super healthy fats

Stop eating fake fats. They are not good for you.

The healthiest fats are the ones that have been around for millenia.

With some concessions to need for weight control, the best fats are and are in:

Butter

Whole eggs

Coconut oil

Avocados

Raw nuts

Olive oil

Walnut oil

You, know. Real foods. Real fats.


* 3 excellent Chinese herbs

More than any other culture, the Chinese have the best claim to master herbalists. Their use of herbs is longstanding, marked by deep insight and flexibility.

Here are 3 Chinese herbs that address separate issues.

Schizandra Berry helps memory, focus and gives you an energy boost.

Magnolia bark tea or iots extract, helps with flatulence and bloating.

Finally, jujube seeds make a great night cap tea because it aids sleep.


* Terrific weight loss supplements

Magnesium and calcium, often recommended for other health concerns, are also important to weight loss.

* Dollar store health discounts

Those ever-present Dollar Stores are great for certain things like insoles, strainers, some electricals and PC equipment.

But may not be so great for supplements, vitamins and herbs. Some have featured misleading labeling. Others may be past freshness.

This goes for canned goods too. So do buy if the deal is good but remember to check labels.

Well, until October, health and vitality to you and loved ones.
