1. Black rice
Brown rice is good for you, but black rice is even better. That’s because the bran hull contains significantly higher amounts of vitamin E, which bolsters the immune system and protects cells from free radical damage. In fact, black rice contains more anthocyanin antioxidants than blueberries, according to a study from the Louisiana State University Agricultural Center.

2. Black lentils
These legumes are loaded with iron: One cup has about 8 milligrams, getting you almost halfway to the daily requirement of 18 milligrams for women. Lentils also boast high levels of soluble fiber, which may not only lower your cholesterol, but could also improve immune function, according to a new University of Illinois study.

3. Blackberries
Polyphenols found in dark berries may help reduce cognitive decline in older age by cleaning up cells that impair brain function, researchers at the Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging in Boston say.

Blackberries are also hugely fiber-rich—one cup has almost8 of the 25 grams you need daily.

4. Black beans
The dark skins of these beans are packed with bioflavonoids—potent plant-based nutrients that may protect against cancer, research out of Cornell University reveals.

5. Black soybeans
Move over, edamame. A Korean study found that eating black soybeans can help reduce the risk of thrombosis—a type of blood clot that’s potentially fatal—even more than yellow or green soybeans.

And all soybean oil contains alpha-linolenic acid, a type of omega-3 fatty acid that may reduce the risk of heart disease.

6. Black tea
Green and white teas get all the health hype, but good old black tea has its perks, too. It contains theaflavins—antioxidants that a study from Rutgers University in New Jersey suggests may improve recovery from muscle soreness after intense exercise. Drinking black tea may also lower your risk of having a heart attack.

奈良県にある奈良公園では、シカによる食害を防ぐために自身が「毒をもつトゲ」を多く持つように進化した、との研究結果を奈良女子大学・加藤禎孝らのグループがまとめた[1][2]。グループは、県南部などのイラクサに比べ50倍以上もトゲが多く、この特徴が種子にも受け継がれていることを確認。実際、公園内のイラクサ、県南部のイラクサでシカに食べられやすいのはどちらか、という実験を行ったところ、県南部のものは全て食べられたが、公園内のイラクサは60%以上も残ったという。これについて教授は「1200年という長い間に、シカに対する防御機構が進化したのだろう」と話している。

Possible Interactions
Antiplatelet and anticoagulant drugs (blood thinners) -- Stinging nettle may affect the blood's ability to clot, and could interfere with blood thinning drugs, including:
Warfarin (Coumadin)
Clopidogrel (Plavix)
Aspirin
Drugs for high blood pressure -- Stinging nettle may lower blood pressure, so it could make the effects of these drugs stronger:
ACE inhibitors: Captpril (Capoten), Elaropril (Vasotec), lisinopril (Zestril), fosinopril (Monopril)
Beta blockers: Atenolol (Tenormin), metoprolol (Lopressor, Toprol XL), propranolol (Induran)
Calcium channel blockers: Nifedipine (Procardia), amlodipine (Norvasc), verapamil (Calan, Isoptin)

Stinging nettle (Urtica dioica and the closely related Urtica urens) has a long medicinal history. In medieval Europe, it was used as a diuretic (to rid the body of excess water) and to treat joint pain.

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)
Stinging nettle root is used widely in Europe to treat BPH. Studies in people suggest that stinging nettle, in combination with other herbs (especially saw palmetto), may be effective at relieving symptoms, such as reduced urinary flow, incomplete emptying of the bladder, post urination dripping, and the constant urge to urinate. These symptoms are caused by the enlarged prostate gland pressing on the urethra (the tube that empties urine from the bladder). Laboratory studies have shown stinging nettle to be comparable to finasteride (a medication commonly prescribed for BPH) in slowing the growth of certain prostate cells. However, unlike finasteride, the herb does not decrease prostate size. Scientists aren't sure why nettle root reduces symptoms. It may be because it contains chemicals that affect hormones (including testosterone and estrogen), or because it acts directly on prostate cells. It is important to work with a doctor to treat BPH, and to make sure you have a proper diagnosis to rule out prostate cancer.

Stinging nettle (Urtica dioica and the closely related Urtica urens) has a long medicinal history. In medieval Europe, it was used as a diuretic (to rid the body of excess water) and to treat joint pain.
Stinging nettle has fine hairs on the leaves and stems that contain irritating chemicals, which are released when the plant comes in contact with the skin. The hairs, or spines, of the stinging nettle are normally very painful to the touch. When they come into contact with a painful area of the body, however, they can actually decrease the original pain. Scientists think nettle does this by reducing levels of inflammatory chemicals in the body, and by interfering with the way the body transmits pain signals.

The Power of SUPER "BRAIN" Smoothies!

Make a SMOOTHIE like this one twice a week, and you're covered.

There's nothing like fresh Nut/Seed Milks.

They bathe the brain with nutrients that are highly absorbable to us humans. And because we are blending them, the fibers play a very important as they play an important part in the benefits.

However, you must DRINK this smoothie very slowly, and chew each bite and let it sit in the mouth for about 15 seconds, if you can.
This will release a very important enzyme called Ptyalin and also Amylase which will help you assimilate and digest these nutrients superiorly.

Why?

Since you are blending the entire Smoothie with the fibers, you can assimilate the nutrients more effectively if you allow these enzymes to do their work.

If you were juicing, this is not important because juices are devoid of the fibers, so they are considered pre-digested. No need for the mouth enzymes to do their work.

HEALTHY BRAIN Smoothie!

1.5 cups Blueberries
1 cup soaked Walnuts (soak overnight then rinse)
1/4 cup soaked Flax seeds (soak for at least 4 hours, then rinse)
1 Frozen Banana
1 cup Purified Water (more or less)

Blend slowly until you reach the consistency you desire.
Strawberries can be substituted for the Blueberries if need be. ALL berries are great for the Brain. And when combined with the Nuts, it doubles the benefits. AND LOWERS any kind of glycemic spike.
