There’s now proof chicken soup has antihistamine properties that work against colds. And carrots  contain beta-carotene, which is good for your vision.

<p>Fish that are high in omega-3 fatty acids, like salmon, mackerel, sardines and bluefin tuna, protect against inflammation and are good for the brain. Fish is also a good source of protein instead of red meat, which is  laced with the kind of fat that gets you into trouble in the long run in  terms of stroke and brain maintenance. Research has shown that virtually any disease process will involve an “oxidating reaction” that causes cell damage.</p>
<p>In the last two years, research has indicated that high levels of  insulin released by your body in response to high glycemic foods can  eventually contribute to the presence of Alzheimer’s plaques in the  brain. Additionally, eating habits which increase the risk of Type 2 diabetes — including the consumption of high glycemic foods — also increase the  risk of Alzheimer’s disease. Red wine has been touted as being good for  the heart and circulation in general, and more recently, there has been  proof that one component of red wine may prevent the development of  Alzheimer’s.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Obese black women have a better weight-related quality of life than  white women with the same weight, according to a new U.S. study.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.blackatlas.com/city/storydetail/1470/3935">Headed To NYC For News Year&#8217;s Eve? Here&#8217;s Your Ultimate Packing Playlist!</a></p>
<p>The researchers found that black women are more likely to be  concerned about possible physical limitations caused by overweight and  obesity, rather than the potential psychological consequences.</p>
<p>In the study, investigators analyzed data collected between 2000 and  2010 from 172 black and 171 white obese women. The women filled out a  questionnaire that examined five quality-of-life areas: physical  function, self-esteem, sexual life, public distress and work.</p>
<p><a href="http://main.aol.com/2011/12/21/immigrants-startups_n_1163343.html?ncid=txtlnkushpmg00000022">Study: Immigrants Founded Half Of Top U.S. Start-Up Companies</a></p>
<p>Among all the women, quality-of-life fell as body mass index (BMI)  rose. BMI is a measurement of overweight and obesity. However, at  similar BMIs, black women consistently had higher quality-of-life scores  than white women and self-esteem was particularly high among black  women, according to Tiffany Cox, of the University of Alabama at  Birmingham, and colleagues.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To help African Americans improve their health and eating habits,  Oldways, a nonprofit food and nutrition education organization along  with an advisory team of experts, recently unveiled The African Heritage  Diet Pyramid.</p>
<p><em><strong>Read:<a title="Yolanda Adams Shares Family Fitness Tips" rel="bookmark" href="http://elev8.com/health/klkinkaid/yolanda-adams-shares-her-tips-on-fitness-for-you-and-your-family/"> Yolanda Adams Shares Family Fitness Tips</a></strong></em></p>
<p>The pyramid draws from the culinary traditions of  the American South, the Caribbean, South America and Africa, and shows  familiar vegetables like okra and eggplant and fruits like papaya, as  well as beans and meats. And unlike other food pyramids, it has a  prominent layer devoted entirely to greens: collards, chard, kale and  spinach — all foods of Africa and the diaspora regions of the Americas.</p>
<p>As  high fat and sugar-loaded foods have come to dominate the modern diet,  health and nutrition have deteriorated in communities around the world.  But &#8220;African-Americans are disproportionately affected by several major  chronic diseases, like hypertension, diabetes and obesity,&#8221; Oldways  President Sara Baer-Sinnott tells The Salt.</p>
<p><em><strong>Read:<a title="Seven Ways To Improve Your Life In Seven Days" rel="bookmark" href="http://elev8.com/health/elev8-staff/seven-ways-to-improve-your-life-in-seven-days/"> Seven Ways To Improve Your Life In Seven Days</a></strong></em></p>
<p>The new African  heritage food pyramid is one of several diet pyramids that Oldways has  designed to target specific cultural groups. The idea is that generally,  people are more likely to adopt recommendations if they are put into  the context of foods they actually eat. The heritage angle is also a way  to encourage people to try new things their ancestors might have eaten,  and avoid diseases their ancestors never had.</p>
<p>&#8220;Eating a  traditional African Heritage Diet (or other traditional plant-based  diet) and staying physically active will reduce, and in some cases  eliminate, the risk of these chronic diseases,&#8221; says Baer-Sinnott.</p>
<p>There  are, of course, a lot of reasons why it can be hard to switch to a more  healthful diet, but Baer-Sinnott says it&#8217;s mainly just a matter of  educating people about their food heritage.  Click<a href="http://blackdoctor.org/news/article/Nutrition/An_African-American_Food_Pyramid.aspx"> here </a>to read the rest.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>African-Americans frequently look towards race and economic factors as our biggest challenges, but there are self-inflicted problems that are literally killing us. The recent and untimely deaths of <strong>Heavy D</strong> and <strong>Patrice O&#8217;Neal</strong> has made the health issues that arise from being overweight very hard to ignore.</p>
<p>According to <strong><a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/12/04/obesity-african-american-black-men_n_1126329.html?ref=black-voices?ncid=txtlnkushpmg00000016">HuffPost</a></strong>, obesity is a &#8220;full-blown crisis in the Black community, specifically among Black men.&#8221;</p>
<p>Dr. Mwata Dyson, a health care consultant based in New York City adds, &#8220;The biggest health care crisis we are facing as a community is the crisis of obesity. We are behind the eight ball.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here are some astonishing statistics:  Among pregnant women, 1 in 450  doesn&#8217;t know her status until week 20 or later (more than halfway  through the pregnancy), and 1 in 2,500 is oblivious until she actually  goes into labor.</p>
<p><em><strong><a title="How Hair Weaves Could Cause You To Die!" rel="bookmark" href="http://elev8.com/health/elev8staff2/how-hair-weaves-could-cause-you-to-die/">How Hair Weaves Could Cause You To Die!</a></strong></em></p>
<p>I know what you&#8217;re thinking because I&#8217;ve thought it too:  it&#8217;s denial. On some level, these women <em>must</em> know they&#8217;re pregnant but can&#8217;t deal with the reality.</p>
<p>Yet when I explored the origins of cryptic pregnancy &#8212; the clinical  name for this condition &#8212; I realized that denial or mental illness  doesn&#8217;t fully explain the phenomenon. Only a minority of cryptic pregnancy cases has been attributed to  personality disturbances (eight percent) or schizophrenia (five  percent). It appears that most unexpectedly expectant mothers are  perfectly sane and educated. Quite simply, they do not know they&#8217;re  pregnant because they have no symptoms &#8212; no weight gain, no nausea, and  little to no abdominal swelling.  They may still have their periods, or  have always had irregular periods. If they have symptoms, they&#8217;re so  subtle as to be easily mistaken for something else. Indigestion,  perhaps.</p>
