Did You Know...
... that one of the most potent natural superfoods commonly used in salads is also a medically validated aphrodisiac?
The "sauciest" member of the Brassicaceae plant family is Eruca sativa, more commonly known as arugula -- or more colorfully, "rocket seed." The peppery, slightly bitter oak-shaped leaves are a popular addition to salads and any other dishes needing a splash of spice or a dash of romance. Arugula is thought to be a very effective overall stimulant, providing amazing energy and power to the whole body. An Ancient Love Potion Arugula originated in the Mediterranean region, and throughout the ages, it's been recognized as an arousal aid. Arugula has been used as an aphrodisiac since the 1st century AD when Greek philosophers such as Pilny, Dioscorides, and others identified it as a food with the ability to increase libido.
The Romans even consecrated arugula to the god Priapus, a god of fertility.
Historically, aphrodisiacs have been sought after for a variety of reasons, including:
Curing "bedroom" anxieties Increasing fertility Preventing inadequate performance Ensuring male and female potency
|
Of course, since the ancient Greeks first began listing aphrodisiacs and fertility aids, there's been controversy about the items on those lists. The criteria used back then was inconsistent, including things like the resemblance to reproductive parts of the human anatomy, and so-called natural representations of "seed or semen" such as bulbs, eggs, or snails.
Arugula -- the Love Drug Backed by Science Modern science has brought a new precision to the age-old practice of rating foods "R." Dr. Walt Larimore, an acclaimed physician, medical journalist, and author, addressed these advances in his blog post about the 7 best foods for heating things up in the bedroom.
Dr. Walt identifies 7 foods "that have been major players in aphrodisiac history and lore -- and also have modern-day science to help back up their claims." Dr. Walt goes on to quote one of his colleagues, Dr. Jennifer R. Berman, M.D., director of the Berman Women's Wellness Center in Beverly Hills, CA, who said, "There's a growing body of evidence that some of the vitamins and components in foods can enhance sensual function and the experience of physical intimacy."
Arugula is one of the historically renowned "love drugs" that has been verified by medical research. We now know that arugula's aphrodisiac qualities stem from the trace minerals and antioxidants it contains. These minerals and antioxidants inhibit the introduction of potentially libido-reducing contaminants into your system -- making them essential for the health of your
reproductive organs.
An Amazing Cruciferous Vegetable for Cancer Protection and Overall Health
The stimulating effects of arugula have benefits that reach beyond the bedroom. Research has shown that arugula improves blood quality and liver function. In fact, arugula is considered one of the most potent natural superfoods. It's packed with phytochemicals and essential vitamins, including:
Beta carotene Lutein Zeaxanthin Vitamins C, A and K Folic acid Calcium Manganese Magnesium Potassium Iron, zinc and copper Riboflavin

The tasty herb -- whose flavor is reminiscent of mustard -- is very low in calories and an excellent source of dietary fiber. Arugula, along with broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage, is classified as a cruciferous vegetable. Cruciferous vegetables generate glucosinolates, which are converted into isothiocynates during digestion. Isothiocynates, along with the wealth of antioxidants found in arugula, protect your body in a number of important ways, such as . . .
Regulating immune function Curing coughs Detoxifying enzymes Preventing macular degeneration Actively protecting against cancer

Adding Arugula to Your Life
Overall, adding arugula or one of the other leafy greens of the Brassicaceae family to your diet is one of the tastiest ways to boost your health.

Classically, arugula was often served with grated orchid bulbs or parsnips. It was also combined with pine nuts or pistachios. Currently, it's more often found in salads or pastas where its standout peppery potency goes straight to the brain. Arugula may satisfy your stomach, but it' also sure to fan the flames of your amorous appetite -- without your having to turn to risky drugs..
How to Make Your Brain Perform the Way It Did When You Were Young-- and Prevent the Onset of Alzheimer's or Dementia Warning: According to a recent groundbreaking study, those supposedly harmless "senior moments" -- like forgetting where you put your keys or blanking on a colleague's name -- are actually linked to a much higher risk of more serious mental decline -- 4.5 times higher!
"Normal" memory loss associated with aging is the first symptom of what's formally known as subjective cognitive impairment (SCI), and a new study shows that older adults with SCI are 4.5 times more likely to progress to mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and full-blown dementia than those without SCI. And because a staggering 25- 50% of those over 65 experience SCI, this is indeed alarming news. Those "Senior Moments" Are No Joke ...
They May Be a Forerunner of Eventual Alzheimer's Disease The long-term study, published in the January 11, 2010 issue of the journal Alzheimer's & Dementia, was the first to examine SCI as "a possible forerunner of eventual Alzheimer's disease," said Barry Reisberg, MD, professor of psychiatry, director of the Fisher Alzheimer's Disease Program and director, Clinical Core, NYU Alzheimer's Disease Center at NYU Langone Medical Center.
"The findings indicate that a significant percentage of people with early subjective symptoms may experience further cognitive decline, whereas few persons without these symptoms decline." The study's authors say it's now possible to target the prevention of eventual Alzheimer' disease while it's still in the SCI stage. In fact,we can now take steps to prevent Alzheimer's
disease more than 20 years before dementia becomes evident. 3 Hidden Triggers That Cause Memory Loss -- and Breakthrough Strategies for Preventing Eventual Dementia Thanks to breathtaking advances in cognitive science, we now know exactly how to protect our brains from the natural effects of aging, ward off SCI, and defend ourselves from having today's minor memory lapses lead to tomorrow's debilitating dementia.
Researchers at Harvard, Stanford, Johns Hopkins, Duke, UCLA, and other top universities recently discovered 3 hidden triggers that cause frequent memory lapses and mental decline. These triggers are the missing link to protecting memory -- a link that scientists have been seeking for years.
Based on the findings of extensive clinical research, it's entirely possible to switch off these hidden triggers -- and even reverse years of brain aging. That means you can enjoy a "steel trap" memory, crystal-clear thinking, and laser-like focus -- and protect yourself from serious cognitive decline, dementia, and Alzheimer's, by dismantling the triggers that lead to SCI.
The 3 triggers that attack brain function are as follows:
Worn Out Myelin. Myelin is a substance that lines nerve fibers to protect and insulate neurons. It aids in the quick and accurate transmission of electrical current carrying data from one nerve cell to the next. Damaged myelin leads to numerous health problems, including multiple sclerosis. Myelin naturally degrades with aging.
Slowed Processing Time. Studies show that older adults' brains are slightly slower than the younger adults' brains, by about 200 milliseconds. This may seem slight, but it's not. That delay leads to significant memory malfunction.
"Brain Rust." Free radicals are unstable molecules that damage your body. Scientists explain that it's as if these invisible attackers "rust out your brain." Over time, this build-up of brain rust damages your cells. It can also cause dangerous amyloid plaques to form in your brain.

Dr. Robert J. Rowen, practicing M.D. and editor of the popular health advisory Second Opinion, has harnessed the maximum potential of these critical research finding to show that it's possible to ...
By combining what we've learned from the latest brain research with the best of clinical nutritional research, Dr. Rowen has developed a formula with 7 of the most studied and proven substances for
stopping mental decline and reversing the damage already done.
Whether or not we notice everyday brain damage, it's there. From the age of 20 on, you begin to lose brain cells. Your body manufactures less of the chemicals your brain cells need to work. The longer this goes on, the more damage is done to your memory.
By middle age the slowdown in cognitive function becomes more noticeable. By 80, overall brain mass decreases by as much as 10%, with the greatest decay in the frontal lobes responsible for memory process.
And parts of the hippocampus (the brain's major memory structure) deteriorate, interfering with communication between the brain's hemispheres.
It's no wonder that the NYU study on SCI and dementia highlighted the essential role of early prevention. Though alarming, that study's findings "more fully describe the possible relationship between early signs of memory loss and development of more serious impairment," said Neil Buckholtz, PhD, National Institute on Aging (NIA).
Supporting your brain today with the nutrients it needs produces transformations that are oftentimes immediate. As the nutrients begin to act, it's like flipping a switch and having a light come on, as the earliest symptoms of SCI disappear ... and that's when neurons in your brain start communicating better ... your brain response speeds up ... and brain "fog" disappears.
7 Brain Boosters That Make Your Brain Perform the Way It Did Before You Hit Middle Age
Dr. Rowan systematically reviewed the best available clinical evidence in order to select 7 proven brain boosters that, when combined in the most effective quantities and proportions, lead to lasting improvements in mental performance. The 7 most powerful, well-researched nutrients known to boost brain function and protect your brain health include the following:
A natural choline compound that boosts your brain's memory fuel and reduces "senior moments." Over 20 studies involving more than 5,000 patients have shown repeatedly that this compound increases alertness, boosts learning, and revitalizes mental performance. It can even improve memory and mental clarity in people with severe mental decline.
A plant substance that strengthens your brain's ability to ignore distractions and banish stress.At least 14 recent studies confirm this substance improves memory and boosts retention of new information. A phospholipid component that replenishes cell membranes and can take 12 years off your brain age. In one study,scientists looked at 149 memory loss patients aged 50 to 75. Half got the phospholipid and half got placebo. After 3 weeks, those taking the phospholipid showed noticeable improvements in memory and learning. After 12 weeks, they had an easier time concentrating, remembering telephone numbers, paying attention while driving, and finding misplaced objects. What's even more remarkable is that the "brain age" of older subjects became comparable to that of a person 12 years younger. The average age of the participants was 64, but their results showed a "brain age" of 52.
An alkaloid that gets more oxygen to your brain for sharper memory and mental acuity. In one study, elderly patients with serious memory impairment took this alkaloid or a placebo, and 100% of those who took the amino acid scored better in memory tests after just 3 months compared to those who took the placebo. A plant powerhouse proven to clear away "brain rust" and boost memory and learning. Studies show a daily dose of this plant helps you keep your memory sharp as you age. One study looked at 2 groups of people in their 70s suffering from poor memory. One group consumed an extract of the plant each day, while the other got a placebo. Those who got the plant extract scored significantly higher on learning and memory tests.
An herb that energizes your brain and speeds up mental performance. Multiple studies prove this herb improves memory, attention, and thinking. It even halts mental decline in people with serious memory problems. In one large study, patients who took the herb saw their memory get better, while those taking a placebo continued to get worse.

For decades, doctors have insisted that memory loss and brain fog are just annoying but harmless consequences of aging. Now we know that isn't true. Early memory loss can be a sign of serious mental decline waiting to happen later. But it doesn't have to be that way because the 3 triggers of brain decline can be stopped and their effects reversed. To find out the details of the 7 scientifically proven brain boosters, go to this webpage. There, you can also learn the top reasons why some popular memory boosters do not work.

Rhodiola rosea has a long and illustrious history. The Greek physician Dioscorides was one of the first to document the medical applications of what he called rodia riza in his classic volume De Materia Medica in 77 AD. Both the Viking adventurers and the Chinese emperors prized "the golden root" for its medicinal properties, especially the significant effect it had on strength. A tea brewed from rhodiola has been used for centuries to treat a variety of conditions ranging from colds and flu to tuberculosis and cancer in arctic areas of Europe and Asia. But it has only recently become available for commercial purchase in the United States. Studies of the curative properties of rhodiola have been conducted throughout Europe. Researchers have found that rhodiola is effective in treating:
lls confirm that the majority of doctors would refuse chemotherapy for themselves if they were to fall prey to cancer. This is because of the growing evidence that chemo is mostly ineffective against cancer, not to mention its extremely toxic -- and often devastating -- effects on the entire human organism. Yet, unshaken by chemotherapy's constant failures, doctors continue to prescribe it as the standard treatment for most cancer patients. The truth is, there's a much better way to fight cancer, a cutting-edge therapy that ...
