* Exercise to ameliorate thinking

Researchers at the University of Virginia found brain capacity - speed, memory, reasoning - to start to worsen at as early as Twenty-seven years old.

Their advice? Be sure to workout with vigor. Such exercise helps to boost brain power.

* Coffee for asthma

Yet another herbal benefit attributed to coffee. You remember java? That drink that studies supposedly found to result in to all kinds of health problems only a few short years ago. Well, the tide has turned.

Indiana University researchers found that gulping a few cups of coffee before exercising, reduces exercise-induced bronchial asthma attack as well as a prescription inhaler.

But don't head for decaf. It's the caffeine in coffee that provides the benefit.

* Better option to fish oil supplements

Natural krill oil supplements are proving to have superior benefits to regular fish oil supplements.

Two discrete advantages to NKO supplements -> About 1/7 of dose of NKO has same to better health effects as full dose of common fish oils supplements and NKO has no after taste or that fish burp we all love.

* Interval exercise rules

More on the effects of exercise...

Another piece of research on interval exercise shows it is far superior to traditional cardio workouts. Canada's McMaster University found that 4 - 7, 30 second bursts, followed by four minutes recuperation improved endurance better than the usual cardio sessions.

Healthy Exercise World has enthusiastically extolled the benefits of interval exercise. Visit our page in Healthy Exercise World for more on interval training

* Best recovery drink

If you workout pretty hard and wonder how to improve recovery, here's a good strategy.

Right after a work out session have an easy to absorb drink with antioxidants, vitamins, carbs and protein. Yep, don't neglect the protein. That's the key.

I usually combine a scoop of protein powder, with some fresh fruit, some low sugar ice cream, in just about 12 ounces of cold water.

My favorite is a scoop of banana flavored protein powder, a banana, a scoop of sugarless vanilla ice cream in 12 ounces of cold water.

Another fave is a scoop of strawberry flavored protein powder, about six strawberries, low sugar strawberry ice cream in a little less than 12 ounces of cold water. (Remember that strawberries provide a lot of water and don't provide the creaminess that a banana does, so you don't need as much water here.)

Oh, remember to blend protein powder into water first, then add other ingredients to blend in or powder may not dissolve properly.

Anyway, right after drinking my yummy shake, my mild brain fog from a good workout session clears up and I often feel like working out some more. Try some combination that appeals to you.

* Healthy, 'meaty' salads

This is your lucky month. I remembered to include a recipe, sort of.

If you like munching on greenery, well good for you. There's no denying that salads are good for you unless you choose to do something to them to minus their health quotient.

But, I have to admit that they just don't appeal to me as much as a hot sandwich with lots of marinara sauce or a good casserole. As for a side dish, to me a cold salad just messes up a chicken curry, brisket or good lasagna.

Well here's something that might help those of you who feel similarly but like me feel the need to get a daily salad into your diet.

To your cucumber, celery, pepper, lettuce, tomato and onion ensemble, you can simply add some meat, like chicken maybe some cubed cheese.

But my traditional Sicilian family liked adding artichoke hearts (quartered, marinated) and olives, especially sauteed black ones. Green olives are good too.

Artichoke hearts and olives are low carb, perfect as an addition to a good salad. But they contrast with the crunchy or mealy, high water content of the other ingredients giving the salad a level of satisfaction that's not there without them.

After munching on this, I don't usually straightaway crave bread, pasta or potatoes.

Well, that's all she wrote for now. Really, all I wrote for now but look for next months' special summer issue of Healthy World Digest.
