Many ancient alternative health systems believe that each male ejaculation depletes a “fixed amount” of energy stored in our body’s “bank account.” Once it’s used up…that’s it! But modern alternative medicing shows that frequent ejaculation actually strengthens the prostate, increases sperm count, and stimulates hormone production. That’s like getting interest from the bank!

A good way to get more umph from your green superfood drink is to doctor it up — add extra ingredients for your own, personal taste and needs, thus giving the basic formula an extra bit of power. Here are a few things to consider adding to your green drink…
Not all green drinks have green tea in them and, if you’re not opposed to a little caffeine, you can add a huge array of nutrients and antioxidants to your green drink mix by adding a bit of powdered green tea to it. Be sure to purchase a quality, organic, green tea powder and add only as much as you would to make a cup of tea.

Follow up a meal of rich and fatty foods with a cup of fennel tea. Just cut a bunch of fennel and place it in hot water (just boiled and removed from heat), then drink up. It will help with digestion and gas and also tastes great.

Do you know what two oils provide the most Omega-3 fatty acids? The answer is Flaxseed oil and hemp oil. Both are high in the good fats and low in the bad ones. Flaxseed is the best, but hemp oil also contains GLA oils, which makes it a great second oil to have around the house. Use these oils on salads, potatoes, and steamed veggies…and keep them refrigerated.

As many yoga instructors know, getting blood to your head is a great way to increase your brain activity, circulation, and overall health. If you hang your head over your bed, strike an inverted yoga pose, or stand on your head…you’ll be stimulating your circulation, getting more blood to your brain and activating your lymphatic system all at the same time. Plus, it helps you to feel younger…if only because we feel like kids doing it.

The pomegranate is a great medicine for many ills. Besides being a powerful source of antioxidants, it’s now being used in cosmetics for hyper-pigmentation of the skin (dark spots). Look for elagic acid in these products…that’s the pomegranate.

A tasty recipe for PMS relief can be made from whole wheat or brewer’s yeast (vitamin B6 and fiber), walnuts (vitamin B6, omega-3), pure chocolate (calcium, magnesium), and flaxseed oil (omega-3). There must be something yummy you can make with these ingredients!

Those little juicy jewels inside the pomegranate are not the only part of this fruit that is healthy. The skin of the fruit can be dried and used in tinctures and extracts, as it has anti-bacterial qualities. It’s great as a throat spray and helps avoid colds and flues.

Cupuaçu (pronounced koo-poo-ah-soo) is a fruit that grows in the Amazon region from a tree that often exceeds 50 feet and is related to the cacao tree (from which chocolate is derived). Like the cacao, the seeds of the cupuaçu are often ground into a fine powder and used in drinks and baked goods. The fruit produces an oil that is used in both the natural health and cosmetics industries. The fruit has even been used as a substitute for cacao in the production of chocolate. Like cacao, the cupuaçu tree is quite sensitive and prone to disease.
The smell of the cupuaçu fruit is strong…so strong that many consider it to be overbearing, but the taste is unlike anything else. It has a tangy, berry-like flavor, but with a hint of chocolate. It is my brother-in-law’s favorite flavor of ice cream and it can now be found in superfood and antioxidant products in the United States and Europe.
The cupuaçu fruit can be found all over Brazil, but is mostly encountered in the northern regions. It’s not as sweet as some other tropical fruits, but is nevertheless used in baked goods, juices, ice cream and even alcoholic beverages. It’s high in fat and vitamins B1, B2, and C. Plus, it has protein, calcium, and iron. It is used as a natural energy enhancement due to its caffeine content (which is less than chocolate).
The aboriginal people of the Amazon Region have used cupuaçu for centuries to treat abdominal pain and it’s used today in cosmetics in skin creams, hydrating lotions, lipstick, bath oils, soap, and natural sun screen lotions. It is already being produced and commercialized in Japan for use in cosmetics and could well become the next craze for juices and healthfood drinks. I’m waiting for the cupuaçu ice cream to arrive!
