17 health remedies in your cupboard
16th September 2007
The other day someone asked me if I enjoy 'surfing' the
web.
Well, I use the Internet almost every day... but is
'surfing' the right word?
Surfing is term that means skimming the surface of
something. It's a word for young people with no health
worries. People who just want to go faster, look better on
the outside.
They use Facebook and Myspace to keep in touch with
each other (don't worry if you haven't got a clue what
these things are, they're mainly populated by pop stars,
media types and the under 30s!)
'How r u?' they ask each other.
'Gr8 thanx' they reply.
And then they swap short films of men's trousers falling
down or monkeys dancing to ABBA.
This is fine. It's what surfing's about, I suppose.
But I think of myself less as a surfer and more as a
scuba diver. Searching amongst the reeds. Probing
deeper for pearls of information that you find useful.
Useful because it's health giving, vitality boosting, life
extending, mood lifting stuff....
And not a lipsynching monkey in sight!
So here's something I think you'll love: 17 extraordinary
pearls of useful information culled from the deepest
coves of the internet...17 powerful health remedies from
your kitchen cupboard I don't know about you, but for me, the kitchen cupboard
used to be the place to store teabags, ketchup, old
onions and sneaky bars of chocolate.
But as you're about to see, many of the everyday items
you find in your kitchen are, in fact, powerful health
remedies.

Natural ways to enhance your mood this autumnIf you're feeling sluggish, down, or on edge, I thought
I'd tell you today about some natural mood enhancers.
This will be especially important as the autumn wears
on and the nights draw in. I realise I'm quick off the
gun on this one, but if you want to avoid the symptoms
of Seasonal Affective Disorder (S.A.D), you should be
prepared.
These tips are here for you information and
illumination only. Please consult your doctor first if you
have a serious depression problem during winter.
You've heard about the herbs ginseng, ginkgo biloba,
St. John's Wort, and valerian root, right?
You probably know that they've been long renowned
as mood enhancers by some... and vilified as useless
placebos by others.
Well, I'm not going wade into this eternal argument
today, though I side with people who find things that
make them feel BETTER, whatever the science boffins
say.
Instead, let's avoid the easy 'one-stop' solutions
(groan!) and look at ways of eating and living yourself
into a better frame of mind.

Try this mood lifting diet- Eat foods rich in vitamin B6. They've found that low levels can lead to depression. I suggest cabbage, bananas and fish. But not on the same plate, unless you're pregnant!
- Get some folic acid in your system. Researchers have found that clinically depressed patients just don't have enough. Eat more citrus fruit, spinach and wholegrain foods which are packed with the stuff.
- Try nuts – especially Brazil nuts. They contain selenium, which was found to boost your mood by researchers at University College in Swansea. The daddy of all selenium is the mighty Brazil nut.
- Eat chilli peppers. They contain capsaicin, which helps your brain produce endorphins - the natural mood-enhancing chemicals in your body.
- Wherever you can, get 15 minutes in the bright sunlight. Vitamin D is essential for a balanced mood.
And finally, I know it's not what you want to hear... but
exercise is vital.The runners highEven modest exercise boosts your self esteem...
improves self-image, confidence and feelings of
accomplishment... and it gives you a break from the
things that get you down.
Even the scientific community recognise this subtle,
almost unquantifiable effect. They call it 'the runner's
high'.
But you don't need to run. Take it easy. Go to the
edges of what you can achieve.
Go for a brisk walk for 20 minutes each day, or try
swimming or cycling to the shops. Since I got my bike
I've been a changed man, believe me.
It doesn't even feel like exercise. It's getting from A to
B.
A to B and to the PUB.
Yours as ever,
Ray Collins
