(NaturalNews) Friday, October 24, 2008 by: Sheryl Walters-- Celery juice is highly nutritious and one of the most hydrating foods we can put in our bodies. Because it is incredibly alkalizing, it equalizes the body's PH, which is vital for peak health. In ancient times, it was considered a medicinal herb used to treat a variety of health complaints. The minerals and vitamins and nutrients are in perfect harmony with each other. Celery leaves are high in vitamin A, whilst the stems are an excellent source of vitamins B1, B2, B6 and C and dense in potassium, folic acid, calcium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, sodium and essential amino acids.

This super food also contains important concentrations of plant hormones and the very special essential oils that give celery its characteristic smell. These oils help to regulate the nervous system, and are very calming.

Celery is rich in sodium, which is very different to table salt. Normal table salt is composed of insoluble inorganic compounds which lead to the development of varicose veins, hardening of the arteries and other aliments. If salt, including sea salt is white, then it has been processed and all minerals and nutrients have been destroyed.

On the other hand, the sodium that is available in celery is soluble and organic (live), and is essential for the body. Organic salt allows the body to use the other nutrients that are taken into the body. Every cell in our body is constantly bathed in a salt solution, and if the salt level is not in balance, dehydration occurs. This is why celery juice is a perfect rehydration drink for athletes.

(NaturalNews) Friday, October 24, 2008 by: Sheryl Walters-- Bee pollen is powerful food, after all, pollen's role in nature is to fertilize. Over 20 scientific studies have found that bee pollen supports men's sexual health.

A German publication for physicians described bee pollen benefits for men with prostate problems as "Half the Pain, Twice the Pleasure." This is because prostate pain is significantly reduced while sexual pleasure is seriously increased.

Chronic prostate problems result from the accumulation of free radicals of oxygen in the seminal fluid. Free radicals of oxygen cause a "burn" at the cellular level. Bee pollen eases this burning, and helps a man with these problems to enjoy sex without a burning, swollen experience.

Extensive and comprehensive research in China has shown that chronic prostate inflammation and male infertility both result from the accumulation of free radicals of oxygen. The studies went on to find out which product most effectively stops the production of free radicals. Bee pollen came up number one.

Bee pollen has a dramatic effect on sperm count and increased fertility. Sperm swam faster and lasted longer. They were more motile and viable.

As well as being a powerful antioxidant, bee pollen is also packed with zinc. Zinc and sex drive are powerfully linked, and the natural libido booster is packed with zinc, making it an incredible super food for men's sex life.

Other Reasons why Bee Pollen is a Good Food for your Sex Life Are:

Bee pollen helps you to cope more easily with stress. Because it has a full complement of amino acids, essential fatty acids and vitamins that help enhance mood and fight stress. And of course stress is detrimental to our sex lives.

Athletes have used bee pollen for centuries to help them increase their energy and endurance -- imagine what it will do for your sex life!

Bee pollen is an amazing source of all the nutrients needed for a healthy life and a great sex life. It is considered one of nature's complete foods, meaning that it alone can provide everything that we need!

It was discovered that bee keepers in remote villages had incredible health on average, way past 100 years of age. Bee pollen is a natural libido booster that can keep your sex life going to a ripe old age.

What Most Doctors Won't Tell You About Colds and Flus ! (NaturalNews) Dr. Ben Kim

The next time that you experience a cold or the flu, remember this: giving your body plenty of rest while allowing the cold or flu to run its course is good for your health. Conventional medicine and the pharmaceutical industry would have you believe that there is no "cure" for the common cold, that you should protect yourself against the flu with a vaccine that is laden with toxic chemicals, and that during the midst of a cold or flu, it is favorable to ease your discomfort with a variety of medications that can suppress your symptoms.

Unfortunately, all three of these positions represent a lack of understanding of what colds and flus really are, and what they mean to your body.

Colds and flus are caused by viruses. So to understand what colds and flus do at a cellular level, you have to understand what viruses do at a cellular level.

Do you remember learning about cellular division in grade seven science class? Each of your cells are called parent cells, and through processes of genetic duplication (mitosis) and cellular division (cytokinesis), each of your parent cells divides into two daughter cells. Each daughter cell is then considered a parent cell that will divide into two more daughter cells, and so on, and so on, and so on.

Viruses are different from your cells in that they cannot duplicate themselves through mitosis and cytokinesis. Viruses are nothing but microscopic particles of genetic material, each coated by a thin layer of protein.

Due to their design, viruses are not able to reproduce on their own. The only way that viruses can flourish in your body is by using the machinery and metabolism of your cells to produce multiple copies of themselves.

Once a virus has gained access into one of your cells, depending on the type of virus involved, one of two things can happen:

1. The virus uses your cell's resources to replicate itself many times over and then breaks open (lyses) the cell so that the newly replicated viruses can leave in search of new cells to infect. Lysis effectively kills your cell.

2. The virus incorporates itself into the DNA of your cell, which allows the virus to be passed on to each daughter cell that stems from this cell. Later on, the virus in each daughter cell can begin replicating itself as described above. Once multiple copies of the virus have been produced, the cell is lysed.

Both possibilities lead to the same result: eventually, the infected cell can die due to lysis.

Here is the key to understanding why colds and flus, when allowed to run their course while you rest, can be good for you:

By and large, the viruses that cause the common cold and the flu infect mainly your weakest cells; cells that are already burdened with excessive waste products and toxins are most likely to allow viruses to infect them. These are cells that you want to get rid of anyway, to be replaced by new, healthy cells.

So in the big scheme of things, a cold or flu is a truly natural tool that can allow your body to purge itself of old and damaged cells that, in the absence of viral infection, would normally take much longer to identify, destroy, and eliminate.

What Keeps You Awake At Night? How a Financial Professional Might Help !

(ARA) - What keeps you awake at night? If you’re like most Americans, you’ve probably more than once found yourself up in the wee small hours, lying on your back, staring at the ceiling above your bed, having a little conversation with yourself.

On the one hand, you’re feeling pretty good about things. But on the other hand -- and this is why you’re awake -- there are those nagging little questions that can get in the way of anyone’s peace of mind: “Am I doing all that I should to protect my current lifestyle? Have I done enough to look after the people I love the most? Am I doing enough to take care of me?”

For many, the answer to these late night eye-openers is a resounding “no.” That’s because those typical “everyday” concerns such as paying bills tend to distract people from thinking about their long-terms plans. But working with a financial professional can have a positive impact on people, according to a recent study commissioned by Northwestern Mutual.

“We found that those people who work with a professional demonstrate more knowledge about financial matters than their counterparts who do not,” says Janie Schiltz, vice president of Northwestern Mutual. “Moreover, the study reveals that working with a professional can have a positive effect on a person’s financial behavior as well.”

Toyota Announces Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle will be Ready by 2010

(NaturalNews) - Sunday, June 15, 2008 by: David Gutierrez

The Toyota Corporation intends to develop a plug-in hybrid vehicle for its demonstration fleet by 2010, according to an announcement made by Chief Executive Officer Katsuaki Watanabe.

The planned plug-in hybrids are already under development, with two prototypes currently undergoing demonstration tests by researchers at the University of California. But while existing prototypes operate with nickel-metal-hydride battery packs, Toyota aims for its new hybrids to be equipped with lithium-ion batteries.

Lithium-ion batteries, already widely used in consumer electronics, provide more energy per unit weight than older nickel-metal-hydride batteries, and can store a charge for longer when not in use.

Watanabe cautioned that while successful lithium-ion batteries have already been developed for hybrid electric automobiles, it is premature to assume that such batteries can be mass produced with existing techniques

"As of today in the lab, the small volume of lithium-ion we have already developed is closer to the level we are satisfied with, but that is only in small quality," he said. "There is a huge difference between small volume and mass production of lithium-ion."

The remarks were interpreted as a response to General Motors' (GM) alliance with battery maker A123, which has so far failed to deliver mass production of lithium-ion batteries.

Toyota's other planned efforts in the area of fuel efficiency include the unveiling of new hybrid-only models in 2009, increased investment in the production of ethanol from wood waste, the expansion of a joint Panasonic-Toyota batter factory, the introduction of "clean diesel" V-8 versions of the Tundra pickup and Sequoia SUV and the sale of 1 million hybrid vehicles by 2012. In addition, Watanabe announced the company's intention to meet California's 35 mile per gallon fleet standard "well in advance" of the 2020 deadline.

Unlike competitor GM, Toyota is conducting all of its research in-house, rather than in partnership with small or start-up companies. According to Watanabe, this will make technological development "faster and more efficient
