Garlic Lowdown

For centuries, garlic was used as a remedy by the ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans. Its active compound, allicin is believed to be responsible for lowering cholesterol. For decades garlic and cholesterol reduction were frequently mentioned together.

Modern medical science suggests that garlic, a proven antioxidant, may help prevent the build-up of bad cholesterol (LDL) by keeping it from oxidizing and clogging the arteries. Numerous studies have put these claims to test, with positive three-month results.

Research does exist showing garlic can lower LDL levels by 10 - 20 % for particular subgroups of the population. However, an unknown factor remains in the garlic variety used, the manner of preparation and the form ingested.

The 2007 clinical trial results showed that both fresh garlic and garlic supplements failed to lower cholesterol levels in patients over a 6-month period. On the upside, garlic has been documented to prevent arterial plaque build-up, lowering the risk of stroke or heart attacks.

It has the potential to reduce gastrointestinal cancers and lower blood pressure. Others claim garlic strengthens the body’s immune system and fights inflammation.

Spirulina: The Freshwater Super Food

This blue-green micro-algae is so nutritious it has been classified as a whole food!
 
Spirulina comes from lakes and ponds, and its use as a food source has been documented since the 16^th century when Aztecs harvested and dried the algae into square cakes for consumption.

This micro-algae contains up to 77% protein, all the essential amino acids, including Vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6, B9 and B12, and Vitamins C, D and E. It is also a rich source of beta-carotene, potassium, calcium, and iron as well as other minerals.

Animal studies have shown that Spirulina can avert heart damage caused by chemotherapy. It can also reduce the intensity of strokes and improve recovery of movement afterwards.

Spirulina has also been found to treat hay fever and slow down memory decline related to aging.

In 2007, a clinical trial found evidence that daily Spirulina use for 6 weeks reduced total cholesterol, lowered triglycerides, and even brought down blood pressure. Improvement was also seen in children suffering anemia as a result of HIV.

The Noni Juice Wonder

The best healing always comes from nature. This has been proven once again by Noni Juice extracted from the Noni fruit.
 

For centuries, the Noni plant has been used for illnesses like gum and throat infections, gastric pains, constipation, coughs, nausea and colic. It is used as a poultice to draw pus from infected boils, and as a traditional remedy for menstrual cramps, while the roots are used to treat urinary problems.

Noni Juice contains the active ingredient xeronine, a naturally occurring substance in plants and animals that produces energy and helps cells stay healthy. A low level of xeronine in the body will cause illnesses to linger, and injuries to heal slowly.

In the University of Metz in France, researchers found that Noni Juice was 75% as effective as morphine sulfate in relieving pain. Its extracts activate serotonin, a vital neurotransmitter in the brain that controls temperature, hunger, sleep and sexual response. A deficiency of this neuroendocrine compound is responsible for obesity, migraines, Alzheimer's disease and depression.

Starvation Fruit? Not.

Do you know that the Noni fruit is known as “starvation fruit”? Its fruit has been a lifesaver for early Polynesians during times of famine. Even its roasted seeds are edible.
 

Despite this moniker, it is highly medicinal and Pacific island natives have used it for centuries to treat various types of ailments. Now that the Noni is in juice form, millions of people are benefiting from it.

In 2002, the European Committee on Health and Consumer Protection published its findings, stating that fruit extracts yielded high levels of Vitamin C, potassium, 10 essential vitamins, 7 essential dietary minerals, 18 amino acids, and various phytochemicals.

Hawaiian researchers injected Noni Juice into the abdomens of mice with cancerous tumors, and these treated mice survived longer than the untreated rodents. At present, there are 105 medical publications on Noni, and research still continues in laboratories through in vitro and animal experiments.

If the Noni saved the lives of ancient starving Polynesians, they must have been the healthiest famine sufferers on record.

The next installment will discuss how Noni Juice can help you, just as this site will.

Enter the Noni

In Hawaii's Koliouou Valley, there is a shrub that produces a pungent yellow fruit all year round. This fruit has become a staple for the people of the Pacific Islands, Southeast Asia and the French Polynesia.

The Noni fruit, or Morinda citrifolia, has also been used as folk medicine for centuries. It contains great amounts of Vitamin C, as well as Vitamin B3, potassium, calcium, iron, Vitamin A and sodium.

The fruit itself, including its leaves, flowers, bark and roots are used as traditional treatments for fever, constipation, respiratory problems, as well as for eye and skin diseases. In Indochina, it is popular for asthma, dysentery and lumbago. Finally, in 1995 this exceptional fruit was processed into a health drink – Noni Juice.

Medical research on the Noni have been published since the 1950's, and the sum of these research resulted in the creation of Noni Juice. At present, the world market for this health drink has reached a total of $2 billion each year.

Using Software Tools to Manage Your Rental

Imagine all the paperwork you’ll need to keep your rental property running smoothly.

It is essential to have the right tools to make everything easier to organize. There are a lot of software management systems available today to help you manage your rental business.

You will need a software system to keep accurate tenant, expense and tax records, accounting, profit generation reporting, and a simpler way for both you and your tenants when it comes to the rent.

Some landlords have instituted online payments for tenants to submit the rent through credit card or electronic check via the landlord’s website. In this way delinquency is reduced and the landlord saves time, money and gas in having to collect the rent in person.

Rental applications can also be submitted online, as well as tenant maintenance requests for swift, economical and efficient operation. There are also software applications for accounting, billing, leasing, and document management.

Landlords will be especially interested in tenant-related software like rent tracking, late fee calculators, late payment notifications, tenant databases and tenant tracking.

Third Party Home Inspection: Examining Your Potential Investment

Before investing in rental property, it is a sound idea to get a home inspector to scrutinize the property you have your eye on.

This third party entity will visually examine the mechanical, electrical and plumbing system of the property based on current construction and building codes, and provide you with a report on its condition.

Choose a qualified and professionally affiliated home inspector who will give you a detailed report on the important basics of the building’s structure and foundation; any potential defects like burnt wiring or cracked roof tiles; items that need maintenance like dirty air filters and leaky toilets, and safety hazards like broken outlets or broken smoke detectors.

Your home inspector should explain everything to you in detail, answer all your questions about the property’s condition, and make recommendations on maintenance, repair and other issues. Sometimes, a home inspector may refer you to a specialist, like a plumber or electrician for further examination.

Home inspection will give you peace of mind that the property you plan to invest in is worth the money you’re prepared to pay.
