Your Daily Dose of Antioxidants

Antioxidant - it's a word that floats around quite a bit in the "wellness universe." While most of us have a general idea that Antioxidants are good for us, we probably aren't too sure about what it is that they do, so here's a crash course:
An antioxidant is a molecule that prevents the oxidation of other molecules. Oxidation can produce "free radicals" that start chain reactions that can damage or kill cells. Antioxidants terminate these destructive chain reactions. Sounds like a good thing, right?
Antioxidant based drugs are currently used to treat lung disease, malaria and even the common cold. The medical community has also had great deal of hope for antioxidants in the treatment and prevention of cancer, but this idea hasn't been definitively proven – until now!

Researchers from Jefferson's Kimmel Cancer Center have found genetic evidence suggesting that Antioxidants can help prevent and treat cancer because they fight against mitochondrial oxidative stress—a culprit in driving tumor growth. The study's lead researcher Michael P. Lisanti, M.D., Ph.D. says "Now that we have genetic proof that oxidative stress and resulting autophagy are important for driving tumor growth, we should re-consider using antioxidants and autophagy inhibitors as anti-cancer agents."
So what exactly does all of this have to do with Gano Excel? A lot, actually. A recent study has shown that coffee is the number one source of antioxidants in the U.S. Diet. If you take that information and add it to the fact that our exclusive Ganoderma lucidum extract is just chock full of antioxidants, it's easy to see why you should be excited about this amazing new findings.
So tomorrow as you're getting ready for a busy day and take a few moments to enjoy one of our easy to prepare GanoCafé signature beverages, know that you are getting more than just a tasty cup of coffee – you're also getting your daily dose of antioxidants.

What are the benefits of reflexology?

In general terms the benefits of reflexology have to do with the reduction of stress. Because the feet and hands help set the tension level for the rest of the body they are an easy way to interrupt the stress signal and reset homeostasis, the body's equilibrium.
Whether reflexology can benefit certain conditions and diseases in still under investigation. Further scientific study need to be done in order to come to some definite benefits of reflexology in regard to illness and disease.
Reflexology is a complement to standard medical care. It should not be construed as medical advice. It should not be a replacement to medical help. Please use it wisely. We care about your safety.

Mortality rates are 88% higher

Mortality rates are 88% higher in men with low testosterone, compared with men who have normal testosterone levels.
It's true that men can become distinguished looking with age, however, there is nothing distinguishing about the numerous symptoms associated with aging, such as - the beer belly, loss of muscle and strength, the "man boob" syndrome, difficulty sleeping, enlarged prostate, depression and low libido. In fact, one out of every two men over the age of 40 experiences erectile dysfunction... bet that's news to you!
By making easy-to-follow, natural and scientifically validated lifestyle changes, men can easily slow and even reverse the loss of testosterone and in the process enjoy their middle and later years with the kind of zest they displayed in their youth.

Water or Coke????

I could not believe this..... Very interesting
WATER
#1. 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated..
(Likely applies to half the world population)
#2. In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak
