Benefits of Greek Coffee


Several studies have proven that the consumption of Greek coffee increases the elasticity of arteries, which protects against heart diseases

The research found that those who did drink a moderate amount of Greek coffee, boiled in a briki, had better arterial health, with the vessels to behave like those of young people. The arteries of those who drank less or no coffee were far less flexible.

The elderly inhabitants of Ikaria, the Greek island, boast the highest rates of longevity in the World, researchers investigated links between coffee-drinking habits and the subjects' endothelial function. The endothelium is a layer of cells that lines blood vessels, which is affected both by aging and by lifestyle habits.
 
The new study provides a new connection between nutritional habits and cardiovascular health. Given the extent of coffee drinking across the world, and the fact that even small health effects of at least one type of coffee could have a large impact on public health.

Boiled Greek type of coffee, which is rich in polyphenols and antioxidants and contains only a moderate amount of caffeine, seems to gather benefits compared to other coffee beverages



Greek coffee is boiled rather than brewed. This boiling method was developed in Yemen during antiquity, long before filtration of coffee was introduced. Boiling coffee is also carried out in Turkey and throughout the Middle East. This method also creates a foam the Greeks call kaimaki (pronounced kaee-MAH-kee), which adds a rich, creaminess to the coffee. The process of boiling coffee extracts much more nutrients from the coffee beans than the filtering method.

The Benefits of 7 Keto DHEA

7-Keto is a natural byproduct of the DHEA hormone in our own bodies that helps to keep us young.

But as we age, the levels of DHEA and its byproduct 7-Keto drop – this begins to happen after you turn 30 – slowing your metabolism and resulting in weight gain.

 7-Keto works to counter this by stimulating the thyroid to permanently raise your metabolism’s set point, or your resting metabolic rate, which is based on your body’s amount of fat and muscle.

A lower metabolism means more fat, and a higher metabolism means more muscle.

Once 7-Keto raises your metabolic set point, your body’s engines can begin burning faster, resulting in less weight gain and a trimmer belly, especially when combined with diet and exercise.

Dose: Take 200mg a day. Take 100 mg in the morning and 100 mg at night – this helps you maintain a steady amount of 7-Keto in your bloodstream throughout the day, keeping your metabolic levels steady.


7 Keto DHEA Reviews

 I feel 7-Keto DHEA has safely helped me drop about 30 pounds and has also kept me from regaining the weight for about 15 months now with continued use.

After the first bottle of the 7-KETO DHEA 100 mg capsules my energy and weight loss greatly increased.

I am on day 4 of 100mg with breakfast and 100mg with lunch and this is by far the best supplement I have every tried! I felt better almost immediately! Happier, a lot more energy, felt just a lot better in general. I hope this continues as this is perfect!

Benefits of Red Palm Oil


There is oil that has a great deal of benefits and that is Red Palm Oil

 

BENEFITS OF RED PALM OIL

 

The health benefits of red palm fruit oil can be achieved by incorporating only 1-2 tablespoons into your daily diet.

It can be placed in small amounts in tomato based dishes. I add it to my home made spaghetti sauce, crab and shrimp gumbo, stews and soups with tomatos.

 

 The health benefits are only achieved due to the red color of the palm fruit oil that is attributed to its high content of carotenes, which include beta-carotene and lycopene.

 

These powerhouse antioxidant nutrients are the same ones that give tomatoes and carrots and other fruits and vegetables their rich red and orange colors. What may shock you is that red palm fruit oil contains more that tomatoes or carrots. Red palm fruit oil is also densely packed with numerous tocotrienols – a powerful form of vitamin E.
