Dear All

An introduction is needed I feel…

My name’s Ray Collins. I have a middle name as well, but that’s best left alone. I’m forty-eight years old, a shade over six foot, a little overweight, and with all the aches and creaks associated with a middle-aged man.

I used to play rugby at university, and picked up a fair few injuries along the way, including a neck problem that still troubles me from time to time. Other than that, I’m in pretty good shape (touch wood).

To my constant surprise and delight, I am married to the lovely Lara and we have three children.

Luckily, they all enjoy good health. But I know how fragile health can be. And their well being is MY responsibility.

The buck stops with me. NOT with the medical establishment. NOT with what I can pick up in newspapers. NOT with the drug companies.

It’s up to me and you to ensure we enjoy healthy, stress-free lives. The problem is, there’s so much confusion in the mainstream press about what to eat and what not to eat. Worse still, much of the mainstream pressed is biased towards the mega-corporations and their clinical trials.

I am most honoured to have been asked to contribute to your new website, I’m a big fan of how powerful this technology can be to share insight, knowledge and wisdom.

But above all I love the fact that we can use it to research, interrogate and debunk the stuff that big pharmaceutical and food companies throw at us all the time.

The other day someone asked me if I enjoy ‘surfing’ the web.

Well, I use the Internet almost every day… but is ‘surfing’ the right word?

Surfing is term that means skimming the surface of something. It’s a word for young people with no health worries. People who just want to go faster, look better on the outside.

They use Facebook and Myspace to keep in touch with each other (don’t worry if you haven’t got a clue what these things are, they’re mainly populated by pop stars, media types and the under 30s!)

‘How r u?’ they ask each other.

‘Gr8 thanx’ they reply.

And then they swap short films of men’s trousers falling down or monkeys dancing to ABBA.

This is fine. It’s what surfing’s about, I suppose.

But I think of myself less as a surfer and more as a scuba diver. Searching amongst the reeds. Probing deeper for pearls of information that you find useful.

Useful because it’s health giving, vitality boosting, life extending, mood lifting stuff….

And not a lipsynching monkey in sight!

So here’s something I think you’ll love: 17 extraordinary pearls of useful information culled from the deepest coves of the internet…

17 powerful health remedies from your kitchen cupboard

I don’t know about you, but for me, the kitchen cupboard used to be the place to store teabags, ketchup, old onions and sneaky bars of chocolate.

But as you’re about to see, many of the everyday items you find in your kitchen are, in fact, powerful health remedies.

You’ll be amazed at how many ordinary, inexpensive, natural foodstuffs can improve your life and vitality, ease pain and help protect you against disease.

For instance, here’s a website that shows you…

  • How blueberry jam could be good for your eyesight
  • How vinegar can relieve a headache
  • How avocados can help slow the ageing process.
  • How ginger can super-charge your love life
  • How broccoli can help protect your lungs
  • How oil could help rid you of dandruff
  • How cabbage can soothe the pain of an ulcer and many more secrets.
  • How one simple lemon could be a powerful weapon against the symptoms of asthma.
  • 4 natural migraine secrets and many more

It’s fascinating stuff, easy to read, and it’s there on the net for you to look at and put to good use.

Talking of fun….

Natural ways to enhance your mood this autumn If you’re feeling sluggish, down, or on edge, I thought I’d tell you today about some natural mood enhancers.

These tips are here for you information and illumination only. Please consult your doctor first if you have a serious depression problem during winter.

You’ve heard about the herbs ginseng, St. John’s Wort, and valerian root, right?

You probably know that they’ve been long renowned as mood enhancers by some… and vilified as useless placebos by others.

Well, I’m not going wade into this eternal argument today, though I side with people who find things that make them feel BETTER, whatever the science boffins say.

Instead, let’s avoid the easy ‘one-stop’ solutions (groan!) and look at ways of eating and living yourself into a better frame of mind.

Try this mood lifting diet;

  • Eat foods rich in vitamin B6. They’ve found that low levels can lead to depression. I suggest cabbage, bananas and fish. But not on the same plate, unless you’re pregnant!
  • Get some folic acid in your system. Researchers have found that clinically depressed patients just don’t have enough. Eat more citrus fruit, spinach and wholegrain foods which are packed with the stuff.
  • Try nuts; especially Brazil nuts. They contain selenium, which was found to boost your mood by researchers at University College in Swansea. The daddy of all selenium is the mighty Brazil nut.
  • Eat chilli peppers. They contain capsaicin, which helps your brain produce endorphins – the natural mood-enhancing chemicals in your body.
  • Wherever you can, get 15 minutes in the bright sunlight. Vitamin D is essential for a balanced mood.

And finally, I know it’s not what you want to hear… but exercise is vital.

The runners high

Even modest exercise boosts your self esteem…

improves self-image, confidence and feelings of accomplishment… and it gives you a break from the things that get you down.

Even the scientific community recognise this subtle, almost unquantifiable effect. They call it ‘the runner’s high’.

But you don’t need to run. Take it easy. Go to the edges of what you can achieve.

Go for a brisk walk for 20 minutes each day, or try swimming or cycling to the shops. Since I got my bike I’ve been a changed man, believe me.

It doesn’t even feel like exercise. It’s getting from A to B.

A to B and to the PUB!
