Helpful hints to mend your memory

Once upon a time, you could rattle off birthdays, phone numbers, and addresses, keep track of appointments without using a date book, and remember every funny story from your childhood.

Now, you’re lucky if you remember what you ate for lunch. If your memory batteries seem to be running low, try these tips for recharging them.

AIM FOR MORE ANTIOXIDANTS. Many foods contain naturally occurring chemicals that fight damaging free radicals in your body. Bata carotene, which your body converts to vitamin A is one of these antioxidants. By protecting your brain cells, bata carotene helps you think, reason, and remember. Unfortunately, millions of people throughout the world don’t
get enough vitamin A. Even just one milligram of beta carotene a day makes a big difference. Carrots, sweet potatoes apricots, tomatoes, broccoli, cantaloupe, and collard greens are all good sources.

Vitamins C and E also fight free radical damage and poor memory. In fact, vitamin E might help ward off Alzheimer’s. Look for vitamin C in oranges, grapefruit, broccoli, peppers, cantaloupe, and strawberries. You can find vitamin E in wheat
for vitamin E in wheat germ, nuts, seeds, and vegetable oils.

GATHER MEMORIES WITH HERBS. Ginkgo and ginseng both boost memory and concentration. They also fight stress and anxiety and give you energy.

In clinical studies, ginkgo increased blood flow to the brain by 70 percent in seniors. That means more brainpower and better short-term memory. This ancient hrb also helps fight absent-mindedness, confusion, tiredness, depression, dizziness, tinnitus, and headaches-all signs of dementia. Look for pure ginkgo biloba extract.

half the recommended 25 grams of fiber each day. 

Scan For Bran:  Look for ”Bran,” ”whole grain” and ”whole wheat” on

product package and ingredient labels.  These Ingredients can help boost

fiber intake. 

Eat The Whole Food:  Eat a whole piece of fruit, in place of a glass of

juice.  You’ll get the nutrients and the fiber too.  1 medium apple = 3g fiber.

Eat The Skins:  Eat fruit and vegetables with the skin on.  Eating the skin

helps to bump up the fiber, plus it provides texture and a bonus of other

nutrients.  1 medium baked potato with skin on = 4g fiber.

Eat Lots Of Beans:  Replace your typical side dishes with high fiber dried

beans and peas, such as kidney, pinto, lentils or black eye peas.  These legumes

are packed with fiber, and make it easier to meet daily fiber intake.  One half cup

of red kidney beans = 8g fiber.

Eat Nuts:  Make salads, vegetables, snacks and desserts with almonds, sunflower

seeds or soy nuts.  Nuts and seeds add fiber and crunch to foods, and increase

your fiber intake.

Add Berries To Your Diet:  Choose raspberries, blackberries to add variety

to your cereals.  These berries have twice the fiber of many other fruit selections.

And will also increase your fiber intake.  One half cup fresh raspberries = 4g fiber.

wheat flour, whole wheat breads, and whole grain crackers, to increase you fiber

intake.  One cup brown rice = 3g fiber.

Skip The Chips:  Choose snacks that are a good source of fiber.  Instead

of potato chips, choose low fat popcorn, and whole grain pretzels to

increase you fiber intake.  Three cups of popcorn = 4g fiber.

Drink Your Water:  Water is a healthy beverage choice, especially

as you up the fiber.  The body need more water to help process the

added fiber intake.  Drink eight 8-oz glasses of water each day.

Mix Fiber one cereal into your favorite side dishes or on top of your

God’s Infinite Blood

There is a vest difference between the first Adam and the
second Adam. ”The first man was of the earth, made of
dust; the second Man is the Lord from heaven.” The blood
of Jesus is holy. How can that be, seeing that God is Spirit?
A spirit has no flesh and blood. The answer is simple. ”In
the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God….”and the Word became flesh
and dwelt among us.”
John 1:1, 14

God demonstrated the enormous capacity of the blood when
Israel left Egypt. The Israelites had to slay and eat the pass-
over lamb; but if a family was too small, they could share the
lamb with another family. This is a lovely picture of Jesus, the
Lamb of God too great for one household. He was the Lamb
too great for merely the apostles at the Last Supper. John
later wrote that ”He Himself if the propitiation for our
sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world,”

1 John 2:2

In the womb of mary, Godhood and manhood became one.
The blood of Jesus is the blood of ”the Son of God.”
An individual’s blood may legally be shed for another man,
but the blood of Jesus Christ has no such limitation, because
God’s infinity is involved. The blood of ”the Son of God”
has ‘grace to cover all our sin,’ and the sin or the whole world.

Becoming A Child Of God

If you are ready to come to the cross for the help that you need, there are
two steps which you need to take now. These steps are called ‘repent’ and
‘and ‘believe.’ As Jesus said: “Repent and believe in the gospel.” What do
these two steps mean?

Repent: It simply means to change your mind. Picture it like this: you are
making a journey, and you have taken a wrong turn. You are driving further
and further away from where you want to go. You need to stop, turn
around completely, and start traveling in the right direction

This will mean taking time to examine how you live. You will need to as
God’s forgiveness for all that is wrong in your life, and ask Him to save
you and set you free. Repentance means that you turn away from your
sin, and toward God. If you change your position, then Jesus will change
your situation.

Believe: Faith is an act, not a feeling. Only you can decide to believe.
only you, as an individual, can pull that ‘faith ripcord of belief.’ If you
do that now, the Lord will not delay by investigation your worthiness,
or your past. No matter who you are, or where you are, as soon as
you repent and believe, the parachute opens, with a bang! and you
are safe in His hands.

Jesus has never yet failed, and He will not fail you either. Here and
now, the ripcord is in your hands by the promise of God. The Bible is
clear about it: “Whoever calls on the name of the Lard shall be saved.”
One believing call, in simple language which you would use in calling a
friend for help, addressed to Jesus Christ for forgiveness and salvation,
is the way to parachute of salvation opens. God Himself will intervene
for you. He promised it. Pull the rip-cord quickly, wherever you are!

The Value Of A Primitive Diet

Would we really be healthier if we ate a more primitive diet, the sort of
diet that Jesus ate? Medical science says that we would. Nearly seven
decades ago, Dr. Weston A. Price reported a study that is still valid and
still amazing. Dr Price, a dentist, studied primitive people who were isolated
from Western civilization, including people in Switzerland and Scotland who
lived in villages and towns that were isolated from their nation’s mainstream
societies. Some of the cultures he studied consumed diets that included
fish, seafood, and wild game; other cultures had diets that included the meat
and dairy products of domesticated animals. Some cultures had diets that
included fruits, grains, legumes, and vegetables; other primitive groups consumed
almost no plant foods. Some primitive cultures consumed foods that were eaten
raw; others consumed mostly cooked foods.

All of the cultures, however, had diets that shared certain characteristics:
there were no refined, devitalized foods such as white sugar of white flour,
no pasteurized of homogenized milk, no canned foods, and no hydrogenated
or refined vegetable oils. All of the diets did include some animal products,
and all did include salt. These isolated groups of people preserved their food
using salt, fermentation and drying methods, all of which maintained a high
nutritional value of the food.

In all, Dr. Price investigated some seventeen cultures including Eskimos in Alaska,
African tribes, Australian Aborigines, traditional American Indians, people of the
South Sea Islands, those living in remote Swiss villages, and those living on remote
islands of the coast of Scotland.

The Lord Calls Us To Love One Another

You must all have the same attitude and the same feelings;
love one another as brothers, and be kind and humble with
one another. Do not pay back evil with evil or cursing with
cursing; instead, pay back with a blessing, because a blessing
is what God promised to give you when he called you.
as the scripture says:
“Whoever wants to enjoy life
and wishes to see good times,
must keep from speaking evil
and stop telling lies.
He must turn away from evil and do good;
he must strive for peace with all his heart.
For the Lord watches over the righteous
and listens to their prayers;
but he opposes those who do evil.“
1 Peter 3:8-12

Double Trouble

Antioxidant Lipoic acid comes in two forms, giving free radicals nowhere to hide.

Sometimes there’s more than meets the eye when it comes to individual nutrients. For example the substance we call
”vitamin E” actually consists of two related chemical families, tocopherols and tocotrienols, each of which includes several
slightly different compounds.

The same concept applies to lipoic acid (also called thioctic acid). The best-known form of this powerful antioxidant
is alpha lipoic acid (ALA), long used to help fight diabetic nerve damage.
