GrapesNot only are grapes a good source of vitamins A and C, but you'll
also find vitamin B6 and folate in these fruits of the vine. And that's not all.
Minerals like potassium, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, iron, and selenium, as
well as trace amounts of copper, manganese, and zinc are also present in grapes.
What's more, you'll also get some fiber and protein from grapes. Flavonoids have
been referred to as "nature's biological response modifiers" because of strong
experimental evidence of their inherent ability to modify the body's reaction to
allergens, viruses, and carcinogens. They show anti-allergic,
anti-inflammatory, anti-microbrial and anti-cancer activity. Interestingly, it
isn't the flavonoids themselves that seem to be causing the health benefits, as
they are actually very poorly absorbed. Recent studies are showing that the
human body sees flavonoids as foreign substances and gears up to eliminate
them. It is the ensuing increase in uric acid levels and the enzyme response
that may be eliminating mutagens and carcinogens in the process.
Grapes
are also high in a compound known as resveratrol. Resvertrol is being heralded
as the new "fountain of youth". It is a natural anti-oxidant that has been
linked to reduced risk of cancer, atherosclerosis, heart disease, and brain
diseases such as Alzheimer's. Research seems to indicate that resveratrol
influences the genes that control aging by activating enzymes that slow the
aging process.
Possible Health Benefits of Grapes:
- Anti-inflammatory
- Anti-oxidant
- Anti-carcinogen
- Helps reduce insulin resistance to decrease the risk of heart disease,
obesity and diabetes
Noni (Morinda Citrofolia)Research shows that all parts of the Morinda
citrifolia plant roots, seeds, flowers, leaves, and fruit may have a variety of
positive health implications. Noni juice may increase mental clarity and
attention span, as well as allow greater physical performance levels. It also
seems to benefit the body's immune system as it supports the natural ability to
fight disease and infection.
Possible Health Benefits of Noni
Juice:
- Increases energy levels
- High anti-oxidant properties
- Assists the circulatory system
- Aids digestion and nutrient absorption
- Beneficial for skin and hair
Trace MineralsMinerals are absolutely necessary for life! Together
with vitamins, they help to control all of our metabolic processes. Enzymes
speed up chemical reactions in our bodies, and co-enzymes assist them in their
life-sustaining functions. Minerals are essential components in these enzymatic
reactions and thus share a critical responsibility for the correct functioning
of your body.
The issue of getting enough trace minerals in our diet
should not be taken lightly. Traditionally, eating fresh grains, fruits, and
vegetables grown in nutrient-rich soil, drinking mineral rich water, and
including naturally occurring forms of raw salt in the diet have provided the
full spectrum of ionically-charged trace minerals necessary for
life.
Unfortunately, naturally occurring, nutrient-rich soil is almost
non-existent on commercial farms and bottled water is mostly devoid of trace
minerals. Key trace minerals now missing from the modern diet include copper,
tin, silver, gold, and lithium. The entire burden has shifted to naturally
occurring salt and/or trace mineral supplements. In a sense, they can be related
to the numerous nails, nuts and bolts that hold a house together. At first
glance, a home is made of much more than these items. However, if they are
slowly removed and never replaced, the house will continue to sag and finally
fall apart. Maximizing our intake of the 72 Trace Minerals in FrequenSea will
benefit the body in many ways, because, unless we begin replacing these minerals
early on in life, we put ourselves at risk for the many diseases of mineral
deficiency that are becoming more and more prevalent in our society
today.
Possible Health Benefits of Trace Minerals:
- Anti-inflammatory
- Anti-oxidant
- Necessary for nerve conduction, muscle function and all enzyme
systems
GingerA perennial herb native to China and India, ginger root has been
used for centuries in Asian cooking and medications. Ancient peoples used ginger
root to cure everything from menstrual cramps to seasickness to food poisoning
to body odor. The roots of the plant, called rhizomes, are where the benefits of
ginger root lie.
Possible Health Benefits of Ginger
Root:
- Aids in digestion, helps break down proteins, promotes flow of bile
- Alleviates high blood pressure
- Improves circulation
- Treats nausea and motion sickness
- Lowers LDL cholesterol, reducing risk of heart disease
- Supports healthy cardiovascular system
- Anti-inflammatory, helps relieve arthritis
- Great as a decongestant
NutmegNutmeg (myristica fragrans) is a native spice from the Moluccas
Islands in the South Pacific. The tree can grow to 66 feet tall and produce a
peach shaped fruit known as the nutmeg apple, which is discarded in favor of the
aromatic seed inside. When ripe, the fruit splits to expose a pecan sized nut
wrapped in a bright red netting called an aril. The nut and aril are separated
and dried. The nut is nutmeg, and the aril yields the spice, mace.
Nutmeg
has a variety of health benefits. It is high in anti-oxidant properties, and is
particularly useful when used for healing of the digestive system. It calms and
helps lower blood pressure. Nutmeg also provides fast relief for diarrhea and
toothaches. The therapeutic effects of nutmeg stimulates the cardiovascular
system, promotes concentration, acts as an expectorant, reduces joint
inflammation and helps also with liver removing toxins.
Possible
health benefits of nutmeg:
- Insomnia - may produce drowsiness
- May reduce anxiety
- Useful in calming muscle spasms
- Beneficial for nausea and vomiting
- Assists in digestion
- Anti-diarrhetic
- Relieves joint pain and gout
- Useful in lowering blood pressure
- May help with mail infertility and impotence
- Shown to improving concentration
- Increases circulation
- Helps to lower cholesterol
- Great for toothaches (nutmeg oil)
- ** Please note that taking too much nutmeg (one to three nuts or less) can
cause side effects such as nausea, hallucinations, swelling and
shock.
RosemaryAlthough rosemary is native to the Mediterranean, it now grows
throughout much of the temperate regions in Europe and America. Rosemary has
been a prized seasoning and natural medicine for millennia. Part of rosemary's
popularity came from the widespread belief that rosemary stimulated and
strengthened the memory, a quality for which it is still traditionally
used.
Rosemary is a circulatory and nervine stimulant. Rosemary
stimulates the flow of digestive juices. The tannins and essential oil act as
diuretics. Rosemary has been also found to be a stimulant and mild analgesic.
Traditionally, rosemary has been used by herbalists to relieve muscle pain and
spasm, stimulate hair growth, and support the circulatory and nervous systems.
Rosemary may affect the menstrual cycle, relieve menstrual cramps, increase
urine flow, and reduce kidney pain. Rosemary helps to reduce inflammation and
has antioxidant properties. Rosemary is a stimulant and mild analgesic, and has
been used to treat headaches, epilepsy, poor circulation, and many ailments for
which stimulants are prescribed. It also helps to relax muscles, including the
smooth muscles of the digestive tract and uterus. Externally it may be used to
ease muscular pain, sciatica and neuralgia. It acts as a stimulant to both the
hair follicles and circulation in the scalp and thus may be helpful in premature
baldness and alopecia.
Possible health benefits of
Rosemary:
- Helps to stimulate the flow of digestive juices
- Helps to relieve muscle pain and spasm
- Stimulates hair growth
- Supports the circulatory and nervous systems
- Acts as a diuretic
- Anti-inflammatory
- Anti-oxidant
AstaxanthinAstaxanthin belongs to a group of pigments (colouring
agents) called carotenoids. It is the principal pigment that gives salmonids
their pink colour. Astaxanthin performs all three of the key antioxidant tasks
including quenching, scavenging, and trapping free radicals, and enhances the
activity of other antioxidant nutrients. It provides a greater protection of the
cellular membranes than beta carotene, vitamin C and vitamin E.. It also
neutralizes free radicals as it traps them inside its structure. Astaxanthin
traps more kinds of free radicals, including singlet and triplet oxygen. Its
antioxidant activity is far higher than vitamin E and beta-carotene.
Astaxanthin is a strong antioxidant that appears to enhance the immune system
and protect against cancer. It also may protect against UVA light, a wavelength
of ultraviolet light that can cause sunburn and skin cancer. It is reported to
stabilize free radicals by adding them to its long double-bonded chain, rather
than sacrificing an atom or electron, and it is absorbed by the mucosa in the
small intestine and transported to the liver where it binds with a lipoprotein
and is efficiently transported throughout the body.
Research shows that
due to astaxanthin's potent antioxidant activity, it may be beneficial in
cardiovascular, immune, inflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases. Research
supports the assumption that it protects body tissues from oxidative damage. It
also crosses the blood-brain barrier, which makes it available to the eye, brain
and central nervous system to alleviate oxidative stress that contributes to
ocular, and neuro-degenerative diseases such as glaucoma and Alzheimer's
Disease.
Possible health benefits of Astaxanthin:
- Powerful antioxidant
- Prevents lipid peroxidation
- Reduces oxidative damage
- Improves memory in vascular dementia
Selenium (Ionic Sea Mineral Blend)When first discovered in 1817,
selenium was considered a poison. In the 1950s it was recognized as an essential
trace mineral. And now it has become a superstar among nutrients. Selenium is
an essential element required by our body in small amounts. It is naturally
found in plants, seafood, meat and meat products. Nutritionally speaking,
selenium is a micronutrient with macro health benefits.
Selenium is an
active component of glutathione peroxidase, an enzyme that catalyzes the
breakdown of hydroperoxides. Selenium can also help against the toxicity from
mercury, cadmium and silver. Some studies suggest that selenium may reduce the
incidence of cancer and cataracts. It also functions in thyroid hormone
metabolism. It neutralizes the injurious effects of free radicals. Excessive
accumulation of free radical (which are by-products of metabolism) are injurious
to the body, promoting premature diseases.
Possible health benefits
of Selenium:
- Anti-oxidant
- Component of several essential enzymes
- May delay or prevent the onset of cancer
- May have anti-aging effect
- Needed for proper thyroid function
- Promotes immune system function
Citrus Fruits (Oranges, Sweet Limes & Citric Acid)Citrus fruits
have long been valued as part of a nutritious and tasty diet. The flavours
provided by citrus are among the most preferred in the world, and it is
increasingly evident that citrus not only tastes good, but is also good for
people. It is well established that citrus and citrus products are a rich source
of vitamins, minerals and dietary fibre (non-starch polysaccharides) that are
essential for normal growth and development and overall nutritional well-being.
However, it is now beginning to be appreciated that these and other biologically
active, non-nutrient compounds found in citrus and other plants (phytochemicals)
can also help to reduce the risk of many chronic diseases.
Citrus is most
commonly thought of as a good source of vitamin C. However, like most other
whole foods, citrus fruits also contain an impressive list of other essential
nutrients, including both glycaemic and non-glycemic carbohydrate (sugars and
fibre), potassium, folate, calcium, thiamin, niacin, vitamin B6, phosphorus,
magnesium, copper, riboflavin, pantothenic acid and a variety of phytochemicals.
In addition, citrus contains no fat or sodium and, being a plant food, no
cholesterol.
Possible health benefits of Citrus Fruits:
- High in antioxidants
- Rich source of vitamins, minerals & dietary fiber
- Good source of dietary calcium
RoseRose has the highest frequency (320 Hertz) of all the plants on the
planet. This in itself is an important factor. It means that the fragrant
molecules of the rose are able to quickly penetrate and travel the infinitesimal
pathways of the body, rapidly energizing every cell, bringing balance and
harmony to the body. For this reason, rose may help with chronic sexual
disabilities like frigidity, impotence and sluggish libido. It is stimulating
and elevating to the mind, creating a sense of well being.
Rose seems to
provide the best of all things. It is a great aphrodisiac and thus perfect to
add spice to your love life. It is also known for its antispasmodic, antiviral
and antiseptic therapeutic properties. Rose is very beneficial in curing eczema,
stress, and menstrual problems. It serves like a tonic for the liver, heart,
stomach and uterus. For coping with emotional problems, rose is the best remedy.
It is of great use in boosting the circulation of blood in the
body.
Possible health benefits of Rose:
- Helps improve skin conditions
- Beneficial for menstrual problems
- Tonic for liver, heart, stomach & uterus
- Helps improve mood disorders
- Increases sense of well-being
- Has anti-viral, anti-spasmodic and anti-septic properties
Magnesium (Ionic Sea Mineral Blend)Magnesium is an essential element
which influences many enzymes needed to produce cellular energy and nerve and
muscle message transmission. It affects nervous, muscular and cardiovascular
systems. Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in the body and is
essential to good health. In humans, it is found in bones, teeth, and red blood
cells. Magnesium activates many enzyme systems, such as those involved in
protein digestion and energy production. The body takes in magnesium from the
diet and excretes it in the urine and stool. Magnesium in its carbonate and
sulfate forms has been used for centuries as a laxative. It is intimately
interlocked, biologically with calcium.
Magnesium is an essential mineral
for the human body. Magnesium is used by the body to help maintain muscles,
nerves, teeth and bones. It is also used in energy metabolism and protein
synthesis. Magnesium is essential in the bio-synthesis of collagen as it helps
produce proteins that are later transformed into collagen. Magnesium influences
many enzymes needed to produce cellular energy and nerve and muscle message
transmission. It affects nervous, muscular and cardiovascular systems. Magnesium
assists in the absorption and metabolism of calcium, sodium, phosphorous and
potassium. It activates enzymes, contributes to energy production, and helps
regulate calcium levels as well as copper, zinc, potassium, vitamin D, and other
important nutrients in the body. Magnesium is necessary for normal cell
metabolism as it plays a key role in ATP production. It is required by the
adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthesizing protein in mitochondria. Magnesium
also helps regulate blood sugar levels, promotes normal blood
pressure.
Magnesium is particularly important for maintaining a normal
heart rhythm and is often used by physicians to treat irregular heartbeat
(arrhythmia). Magnesium may be beneficial for bladder problems in women,
especially common disturbances in bladder control and the sense of "urgency."
Adequate intake of calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D coupled with overall proper
nutrition and weight-bearing exercise throughout childhood and adulthood are the
primary preventive measures for osteoporosis. Magnesium sulfate is widely used
to prevent eclamptic seizures in pregnant women with
hypertension.
Possible health benefits of Magnesium:
- Essential for normal heart function
- Helps build and maintain strong bones, teeth, muscles, and nerves
- Relives symptoms of menopause and premenstrual syndrome
- Can help prevent migraines and fatigue
- Essential for energy production
Boron (Ionic Sea Mineral Blend)Boron is an important trace mineral that
has largely been ignored for health maintenance and freedom from disease. This
is unfortunate, as it is extremely important and as a health supplement, can
have profoundly beneficial effects. Boron enhances the body's ability to absorb
calcium and magnesium, thereby increasing bone strength. It may also promote
beneficial levels of estrogen and testosterone in healthy post-menopausal women
and help convert vitamin D to its active form, supporting the absorption of
calcium.
Dietary boron influences the activity of many metabolic enzymes,
as well as the metabolism of steroid hormones and several micronutrients,
including calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D. It may also play a role in
improving arthritis, plasma lipid profiles, and brain function requirement for
humans.
Possible health benefits of Boron:
- Beneficial for arthritis
- Enhances bone, brain & muscle function
- May slow down the aging process
- Effective for menopausal symptoms
- Helps improve allergic symptoms
- May be useful in treatment of parasites
BlueberriesBlueberries are receiving international attention for their
health benefits. Research in Canada and the USA supports evidence that
blueberries are powerful disease fighters. Blueberries have been ranked number
one in antioxidant activity over 40 other tested fruits and vegetables.
Antioxidants help neutralize harmful by-products called "free radicals" which
are unstable molecules that are linked to a number of age-related
diseases.
Possible health benefits of Blueberries:
- Clearing of arteries
- High in antioxidants
- Helps strengthen blood vessels
- Enhances memory
- Effective for urinary tract infections
- May reverse age-related physical & mental declines
- Aids in promotion of weight loss
- May improve eyesight
PolysaccharidesThere are many types of bioactive polysaccharides which
differ in their properties, health benefits and degrees of activity. The right
sugars are vital for the correct glycolization of proteins involved in cell
communication. Polysaccarides are necessary to prevent cell inflammation and
oxidation. These vital nutrients are displaced by the consumption of refined
sugars, thereby causing insulin resistance, diabetes and heart
disease.
Possible health benefits of Polysaccharides:
- May inhibit tumor growth
- Shown to reduce risk of DNA damage
- Helps to neutralize the side effects of chemotherapy/radiation
- Helps to normalize blood pressure
- Needed to balance blood sugar
- Effective in combating autoimmune disease
- Act as an anti-inflammatory
- Helps to balance immune function
- Lowers cholesterol and blood lipids
- Shown to increase calcium absorption
Marine Phytoplankton, MPPMarine Phytoplankton (MPP) is at the very
bottom of the Earth's food chain, since it is the most efficient way to store
solar energy. We know, based on Scientific Research, know that the surfaces of
the sea are full of microscopic, single-cell, drifting plants which convert
energy from the sun and the elements extracted from the water into precious
substances necessary for life. The largest contributor to the food web come
from the coastal waters of British Columbia, Canada, an area that the National
Geographic Magazine has highlighted as one of the richest food growing areas in
all of the world. The sea farm that has managed to fulfill Jacque Cousteau's
prediction that "the future of life is in the oceans" is silencing skeptics that
said that the industry would only produce toxic seafood, while damaging the
environment. Thanks to the discovery by the BC Sea Farm, the most
nutritionally-dense food on Earth is now available to people. Everything in the
ocean, including whales, depend on algae to support their life. Now you can
enjoy the benefits of the marine phytoplankton, too!
One characteristic
that all marine phytoplankton have in common is that they convert nutrients and
CO2 into carbohydrates by using solar energy.
Sometimes referred to as
"Mother Earth's Milk" phytoplankton is now available for all mankind to benefit
from in a natural marine phytoplankton formulation. It is well known that the
food chain begins with plant species in the aqua environment with phytoplankton
at the forefront. Phytoplankton, microscopic marine plants, are essentially
photosynthetic organisms that synthesize organic substances from an external
energy source. These microscopic sea plants are super concentrated in a green
pigment called chlorophyll. Photosynthesis, the process of converting simple
inorganic chemicals into complex organic substances, is a critical part of
energy production and recycling. The end result of photosynthesis is the
production of energy nutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, from
sunlight, carbon dioxide and water. Energy nutrients are critical to human
health.
Possible Health Benefits of Marine
Phytoplankton:
- Enhances the immune system
- May inhibit the growth of cancer cells
- Supplies a complete source of vitamins, minerals, amino acids & fatty
acids
Omega OilsNever has the statement "we are what we eat" been more true.
Actually, it should be changed to "we are what we absorb", but that's a
different matter. Our cell membranes are mostly composed of phospholipids, or
fats. The function of cell membranes throughout our bodies is critical for our
well-being. Most people consume too many toxic fats, such as trans and/or
hydrogenated fats, and not enough healthy fats, also knows as Essential Fatty
Acids or EFOs like those found in plankton. The result is that the unhealthy
fats are utilized in the structure of the cells and the cells loose their
ability to perform their job. It is critical to the health to ensure an
adequate supply of EFOs on a daily basis.
Possible Health Benefits
of Omega Oils:
- Anti-inflammatory
- Helps prevent cardiovascular disease
- May help resolve neurological and psychiatric issues
- Enhances the immune system
FrankincenseFrankincense, well-known from history as one of the gifts
brought by the 3 wise men to the Baby Jesus, had more value than gold. The
Frankincense tree, or Olibanum, upon first glance, may seem rather
unremarkable. It appears as a giant shrub, with many knurled branches topped
with abundant slender leaves and occasionally, small white flowers. A native to
northern Africa, it looks like it belongs in the desert, growing in some
of the world's harshest conditions. But it is not the tree itself, but rather
its sap that has such profound lore surrounding it Frankincense resin is thought
to have a bounty of health properties - it was an ingredient in a rejuvenate
face mask in ancient Egypt (it was also charred and used as the classic heavy
eyeliner seen in much ancient Egyptian art), and at one time was "used to treat
every conceivable ill to man".
Modern science has isolated the active
compounds found to have anti-arthritic properties. Called boswellic
acids, these components inhibit the inflammatory process, improve blood
supply and prevent further cartilage reduction.
If you value your health,
then there is little doubt that it actually is more valuable than gold, as it is
a safe and natural anti-inflammatory product.
- Possible Health Benefits of Frankincense:
- Enhances the immune system
- Acts as a powerful anti-inflammatory
- Active compounds have anti-arthritic properties
- Exceptional anti-oxidant properties
Aloe VeraAloe Vera is high in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory
micronutrients. It is known to have as many as 75 health-supporting nutrients.
One of the more common uses is as a remedy for burns and wounds.
Although
the benefits of Aloe Vera are very useful for skin disorders, the juice is used
in cases of people suffering from heartburn, ulcers and other digestive
disorders. People suffering from indigestion or irritable bowel syndrome
have claimed that the juice of Aloe Vera does provide comfort. It is sometimes
used as a laxative. This juice acts as an anti inflammatory agent and in some
cases is known to reduce the amount of stomach juices that are secreted. Studies
and clinical trials that have been conducted have shown that Aloe Vera does have
an impact on digestive system disorders.
The benefits of Aloe Vera
extend even to stimulating production of collagen and elastin both of which are
necessary to prevent aging of the skin. As a moisturizer, Aloe Vera is very
popular as it removes dead cells and also aids in the penetration of healthy
substances. It reduces the intensity of pigmentation and lightens dark spots on
the face. The cosmetic industry is exploring its potential and the world may
soon see a mini revolution.
Muscle
pain and pain in the joints occurring because of arthritis seem to be
alleviated by the application of Aloe Vera gels or sprays. In fact if
it is used regularly, it may actually help regress arthritis. The gel
of Aloe Vera is said to have a beneficial effect in the decrease of
total cholesterol, triglycerides and blood fat lipid levels. As these
are major factors, which cause coronary heart disease, it is worth
exploring its full potential. The extract of Aloe Vera is known to
steady even blood sugar levels.
The full power and health benefits of Aloe Vera
have yet to be tapped. It contains amino acids, vital minerals like calcium,
magnesium and sodium in sufficient quantities, enzymes, vitamins,
polysaccharides, nitrogen and other components which appear to make it a miracle
substance.
Possible Health Benefits of Aloe Vera:
- Anti-inflammatory
- Antioxidant
- Antibacterial
- Helps wounds heal more quickly
- Resolves mucosal issues in cells lining the intestines, stomach & sinus
- Aids in digestion
- Beneficial for the skin - may help with the production of collagen and
elastin
CranberriesCranberries are relatively small, red berries which grows on
low-hanging vines in temperate zones in many regions of the United States and
other parts of the world. The cranberry is a member of the same family of plants
as bilberry and blueberry. It can be taken as a juice, the whole berry, or from
an extract. For maximum health benefit, cranberry juice should be
unsweetened.
The active ingredients in cranberry include chemical
compounds called proanthocyanidins. Proanthocyanidins are potent antioxidants
that appear to be able to decrease bacterial adherence to the bladder epithelium
cells. The main benefit of this action is that bacteria have less likelihood of
grouping together to cause bladder infection, urinary track infections and other
related conditions.
Possible Health Benefits of
Cranberries:
- Shown to decrease urinary tract infections
- Useful in the reduction of dental plaque
- May have anti-carcinogenic activity
- Useful in the prevention of heart disease as it inhibits low density
lipoprotein oxidation
- May help to prevent the development of kidney stones, due to the abundance
of quinic acid
- High in anti-oxidant properties
