Long time no see, I know.  I apologize for the long absence from Elixir.  I hope that visitors will forgive and forget.  :)  Let's make up with some interesting information below. 

A soy based peptide also found in barley grass called "lunasin" in a Nutrition Horizon article, has proven useful against various diseases.  You may be interested in this leading edge constituent of barley grass and soy beans.  I am just finding this information. The article here is dated December of 2009 so it's just about up to the moment. 

Cucumis Melo Melons & S.O.D. Benefits

Cucumis melo, a perhaps strange sounding name for a melon that has been used in skin care products to preserve youthfulness and has other health benefits because it's rich in substances the immune system benefits from.

A weird sounding substance, superoxide dismutase is found in large quantities in these melons that provide a great deal of health benefits, the fruit survives longer than other varieties of melons and the information has it that this is caused by the S.O.D. content the fruit contains.

Melon anyone?
 

Probiotics and Healthy Intestinal Bacteria

Dr. Mercola has some interesting things to say in here regarding probiotics, yogurt for health etc.  If you haven't the time to view the video, check out the info below. 

Bilberry Benefits

Visitors, Bilberry is the way to go.  Consider the benefits and decide for yourself. 

This comes to you by way of, HerbalMD. 

Orange Oil Extract Benefits

Visitors with reflux issues please see the information regarding orange oil extract supplementation available at very little cost with excellent health benefits according to studies. 

Natural Medicine has this article on the benefits of orange oil and the connection it has to anti cancer protection.

Links to cancer and other studies done using orange oil extract can be found at the above Natural Medicine article.

I am reminded of the orange slices served in Chinese restaurants after a meal.  The orange is an ancient and powerful fruit with concentrates of d-limonene in the skin, the best part of the fruit apparently in terms of disease prevention. 

Calorie Restriction

Life Extension Foundation has published a very interesting article on caloric restriction and the usefulness of decreasing calory intake to promote better health and prevention of age related diseases.  Calorie restriction studies have been conducted and information is available to visitors.

The article does not say exactly what type of foods would need to be in the diet but it is extremely worthwhile reading and, I believe there are books or other information sources that can provide that information (recipes, foods etc.).

By all means, look into this straightforward, well written article and be sure to reference it going forward.
