Just fill in the brief eZine subscription form & start to take charge of your life easily, today.

Australian research finds herbal garlic supplements to be as efficient as prescription drug medication for lowering blood pressure. Better yet, just use lots of fresh garlic in your recipes. A clove of garlic in your soup, salad or meats gives you the same benefits as a dose of supplemental garlic.

* Add repetition weight to take off pounds

New research confirms that to lose weight, lift more weight during resistance exercise.

Heavy, low rep movements uses up more calories than light, high rep lifts according to studies. That doesn't mean everyone should be pressing 200 pounds. Just add a little weight to your movements while cutting back on repetitions.

The real key here is the after effects of heavy lift exercise. Your body has to do more muscle repair which increases your metabolism leading to fat loss during recovery.

* Mom's lemon salad

As promised, an authentic, interesting, healthy Italian recipe that's quick and simple to make, straight from my Sicilian mom's kitchen.

For a quick lunch, my mom would make this lemon salad.

Ingredients: one lemon, one cup fresh, cool, filtered, healthy water for best taste, salt & black pepper to taste, olive oil, red pepper flakes (optional), crusty Italian bread (can be a bit stale)

1) Peel lemon. Leave white flesh on. Chop lemon into cubes making sure juice goes into soup bowl. Squish the cubes to release some more of the juice

2) Add one cup cold, preferably filtered water

3) Sprinkle in salt and pepper to taste. Add some of the red pepper flakes if you like heat like I do.

4) Add olive oil, 1 - 2 tbls

5) Slice your Italian bread and your good to go

Now just dip a morsel of bread into the delicious lemon broth, with piece of lemon cube. Repeat until the bread is gone. I love to drink up the precious little remaining lemon broth.

Oh, and for an even more interesting sweet and sour treat, simply use an orange instead of lemon. Especially interesting when you taste the contrast between sweet orange, olive oil & spicy pepper.

And, when I really want to go nuts, I'd double the ingredients and use 1 lemon and 1 orange. That reminds me. Be right back.

* Supplements for obsessive compulsives

Hopefully, few of you will ever have to pronounce the word "trichotillomania." The better known term is "hair pulling." The disorder is a class of compulsive disorders wherein sufferers tear hair from their scalp, eyebrows and eye lashes to the point of baldness.

Trials of a nutritional supplement N-acetycysteine has shown it helps in about 50% of the cases.

The aspect of great general importance here is that this supplement is helpful for obsessive-compulsives in general, of which there are many sufferers. That's good news since orthodox treatment for OC has included powerful psychiatric drugs and talk therapy, each being much more expensive and/or demanding than just taking effective N-acetycysteine.

* Seinfeld & Chris Rock come together to improve cardiac health

Well, sort of.

You see, laughter is good for your health.

In fact, scientists in Greece found that laughing results in the relaxation of the arteries. This could actually help avert stroke or heart attack.

* Oh those Brits

Finally, a women's viagra!

English researchers found that loud car engines arouse women's sexual desire. You can't make this stuff up. Comments? Ideas? Feedback? I'd love to hear from you. Just reply to Healthy World Digest and tell me what you think.

See you next month!
