Happy New Year everyone! Before leaving 2015 behind I wanted to summarize some really important health news stories in 2015. Read on for the summary!

 

The first story and arguably the most important is that drinking Chamomile tea was shown to reduce death rates from all causes by 29% in Mexican American women over age 65, based on a recent study by the University of Texas at Galveston  Chamomile is one of the oldest and most widely studied medicinal plants in history.  In fact my grandfather a naturopath from Munich Germany and his german counterparts were often referred to as the "Chamomile doctors" because they so often prescribed it for health conditions.  Turns out he was RIGHT!

 

Breakthrough #2: The practice of Tai Chi has major health benefits.  In fact, recently practicing Tai Chi was found to be just as effective as physical therapy for knee osteoarthritis.  Many studies this past year have had positive findings for conditions as far reaching as anxiety, depression, COPD, bone health, and sleep to name just a few.  Put this one on your to try list in 2016!

 

Olive leaf extract and high blood pressure.  Known as the "silent killer" due to the lack of symptoms, hypertension is a leading killer in the U.S.

Now Olive Leaf Extract-FREE shipping! has been demonstrated in a Journal of Cardiology study to lower BP by reducing inflammation and lowering "bad" LDL cholesterol.  It also relaxes the blood vessels themselves.  Olive leaf extract also has a host of other health benefits!

 

Lastly, Diabetes Management has reported that increased potassium is linked to decreased heart and kidney complications in those with diabetes.  Potassium is prevalent in fresh foods and is low or non existent in processed foods.  Fresh foods are also low in processed sugars and salt.
