Avocados shown to block cancer cell growth and protect your heart

by: Lori Alton, staff writer | March 7, 2025


(NaturalHealth365) An apple a day may keep the doctor away, but research shows the creamy avocado can hold its own when it comes to keeping you healthy. Studies have found that the avocado’s generous supply of fatty acids, carotenoids, and other helpful nutrients is useful in preventing cancer and heart disease.
But that’s not all the avocado has to offer. Once known primarily as the main ingredient in guacamole, the fruit is growing in popularity for its usefulness in fighting metabolic syndrome and obesity and supporting healthy joints, skin, and vision.
Eat food that makes your body ‘unfriendly’ toward cancer

The secret to the cancer-fighting capabilities of avocados can be found primarily in the carotenoids and monounsaturated fat they contain. Studies have documented a significantly lowered risk of several types of cancer, including breast cancer and prostate cancer.
Avocados also contain the antioxidant glutathione, which protects cells from cancer and other dangerous consequences of free radicals. Because of the many antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds present in avocados, it can be difficult to pinpoint which has the greatest impact on reducing the risk and spread of cancer.
However, there is a wealth of scientific research on prostate, oral, and skin cancers, with results showing that the compounds found in avocados help prevent cancer from metastasizing, bringing about cancer cell death instead. In one study, avocatin B, a type of fat present in avocados, was shown to combat acute myeloid leukemia (AML), a rare but deadly form of cancer.
The study was conducted by researchers at the University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada; Princess Margaret Cancer Center, Ontario, Canada; and the Mount Sinai Hospital, Toronto, Canada. Published in the journal Cancer Research, the findings revealed that avocatin B targets leukemia stem cells that are responsible for causing most cases of AML recurrence. Research continues on the many cancer-fighting properties of avocadoes.
A delicious way to keep your heart healthy

In addition to reducing the risk of cancer, the health advantages of consuming avocados include a healthier heart. Avocados contain the plant sterol beta-sitosterol, which is known to support healthy cholesterol levels.
Research has shown that the intake of avocado may enhance the plaque-fighting properties of HDL cholesterol, which helps protect heart health and avoid atherosclerosis. Avocados also contain significant levels of potassium. Potassium helps control hypertension by relaxing blood vessels and arteries, reducing the chances of heart attacks, strokes, and clogged arteries.
Avocados are also loaded with monounsaturated fatty acids, which not only reduce the risk of cancer but also have been shown in numerous investigations to lower cholesterol levels. In one such study, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, researchers in Queensland, Australia, compared the cholesterol-lowering benefits of an avocado-enriched diet high in monounsaturated fatty acids against the benefits of a diet rich in complex carbohydrates.
Fifteen female subjects between 37 and 58 years old took part in the study. Both diets were shown to lower total cholesterol, but the impact was significantly more pronounced with the avocado diet (an 8.2 percent decrease compared to a 4.9 percent decrease.) The women also experienced a significant drop in their LDL cholesterol levels while on the avocado diet but not while following the complex carbohydrate diet.
Simple ways to add avocados to your diet

Although avocados are well known as the main ingredient in guacamole, there are many other ways they can be incorporated into your meals so you can reap their many health benefits. For example, add avocado to your next smoothie for a delicious (creamy) taste, add slices to a salad, or make pudding.
The avocado’s nutrient makeup allows for optimal absorption of carotenoids not only in the avocado itself but in other foods consumed simultaneously. Research demonstrates that the avocado’s unique nutrient profile promotes joint, eye, and skin health and helps prevent cancer, cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, and obesity – so get started today!
Remember that the carotenoids and other beneficial components are most plentiful in the dark-green part of the fruit’s flesh, closest to the skin. That means to obtain the greatest benefits, you need to carefully peel the fruit in such a way that you retain the fleshy portion nearest the skin.

Daniel Reid’s “Chinese Herbal Medicine”: A journey through history and healing

03/18/2025 // Ramon Tomey // 540 Views

Tags: alternative medicine, balance, Chinese herbal medicine, Cures, Daniel Reid, goodhealth, goodmedicine, healing, herbal medicine, Herbs, history, holistic, natural cures, natural health, natural medicine, plant medicine, prevention, qi, real history, remedies, TCM, traditional Chinese medicine, yin and yang

• Daniel Reid's "Chinese Herbal Medicine" explores a millennia-old healing tradition blending spirituality, philosophy and science. Its origins are tied to legends like the discovery of san qi (Yunnan Baiyao) and the contributions of Emperor Shen Nong, who tested medicinal plants and laid the foundation for this ancient practice.
• The practice is guided by the philosophy of balance (yin and yang) and the flow of qi (vital energy). Illness is viewed as a disruption of harmony, and treatment focuses on restoring balance and ensuring the smooth flow of qi through the body's meridians.
• Chinese herbal medicine developed systematically over dynasties, with key milestones including the Han dynasty's written records, the Tang dynasty's medical schools, the Song dynasty's standardized prescriptions, and the Ming dynasty's Bencao Gangmu (a comprehensive herbal encyclopedia).
• Despite challenges, such as Mongol rule and the introduction of Western medicine, Chinese herbal medicine has persisted and adapted. It experienced a revival during the Ming dynasty and continues to integrate with modern practices while maintaining its core principles.

Daniel Reid's "Chinese Herbal Medicine" offers a captivating exploration of one of the world's oldest and most enduring medical traditions. Rooted in myth, history and a deep connection to nature, Chinese herbal medicine is a practice that has evolved over millennia – blending spirituality, philosophy and science into a holistic approach to health and healing.
The origins of Chinese herbal medicine are steeped in legend. One such tale begins in Yunnan, China, where a farmer discovered the healing properties of a plant known as san qi after observing a snake repeatedly recover from injuries by consuming it. This plant, later refined into the anti-bleeding remedy Yunnan Baiyao, became a cornerstone of Chinese medicine, earning the name jin bu-huan ("gold-no-trade") for its invaluable role in treating combat wounds. This story symbolizes the serendipitous beginnings of a tradition that would grow into a vast and intricate system of healing.
The roots of Chinese herbal medicine are often traced to Emperor Shen Nong, a mythical figure credited with introducing agriculture and testing the medicinal properties of plants. His discoveries laid the foundation for a practice that would be passed down orally for centuries, blending practical wisdom with symbolism and superstition. Over time, this knowledge was codified into a pharmacopoeia that includes herbs, animal products and minerals, each chosen for their symbolic and medicinal significance.
Central to Chinese herbal medicine is the philosophy of balance, embodied by the concepts of yin and yang. These opposing yet complementary forces represent the duality of nature – light and dark, hot and cold, active and passive. In medicine, illness is seen as a disruption of this balance, and treatment aims to restore harmony.
Another key principle is qi (vital energy) which flows through the body along meridians. The balance and flow of qi are essential for health, reflecting the holistic nature of Chinese medicine that considers the interconnectedness of the body, mind and environment.
The historical development of Chinese herbal medicine mirrors the evolution of Chinese society. During the Han dynasty, the first written records of herbal remedies were created, marking a shift toward a more systematic approach.
The Tang dynasty saw the establishment of China's first medical school and the professionalization of medicine through competitive examinations. The Song dynasty further standardized herbal prescriptions, while the Ming dynasty produced the "Bencao Gangmu" ("Compendium of Materia Medica"), a comprehensive herbal encyclopedia by Dr. Li Shizhen that remains a cornerstone of traditional Chinese medicine.
Despite periods of dormancy, such as during Mongol rule, Chinese herbal medicine has demonstrated remarkable resilience. The Ming dynasty's cultural renaissance revitalized the practice, and even the arrival of Western medicine during the Qing dynasty did not diminish its significance. Instead, it adapted, integrating with modern practices while retaining its core principles.
Today, Chinese herbal medicine thrives globally – with thousands of traditional shops and growing recognition in Western medicine. Modern research is validating many of its practices, and its emphasis on preventive care and holistic treatment is increasingly embraced. The story of Chinese herbal medicine is one of enduring wisdom, resilience and adaptation, offering a model for the harmonious integration of ancient and modern medical practices.
The convergence of Eastern and Western medicine holds immense promise. By combining the insights of a 5,000-year-old tradition with the innovations of modern science, people may unlock new possibilities for healing and well-being, ensuring that the timeless wisdom of Chinese herbal medicine continues to benefit humanity for generations to come.

The sweet power of manuka honey: Nature’s best sweetener

03/22/2025 // HRS Editors // 1.1K Views

Tags: antioxidants, food cures, food is medicine, food science, functional food, goodfood, goodhealth, grocery cures, ingredients, manuka honey, MGO, natural cures, natural health, natural medicine, natural sweetener, nutrients, organics, phytonutrients, sleep, superfoods

• Manuka honey, native to New Zealand, is a nutrient-rich superfood derived from the manuka bush. It’s known for its unique bioactive compounds, particularly methylglyoxal (MGO), which give it potent antioxidant and health-supporting properties.
• Unlike regular honey, it contains stable non-peroxide activity (NPA), making it more effective under various conditions.
• Manuka honey is graded using the Unique Manuka Factor (UMF) system, which measures beneficial compounds like MGO, leptosperin and dihydroxyacetone (DHA). A higher UMF rating indicates superior quality and potency.
• Manuka honey is also packed with essential nutrients, including minerals, vitamins, amino acids and antioxidants, making it up to four times more nutritious than regular honey.
• Manuka honey offers many science-backed health benefits. It can support digestive health and is a rich source of antioxidants that help combat free radicals and support overall wellness.

In recent years, manuka honey has garnered much attention from both the scientific community and health enthusiasts. This golden superfood, native to New Zealand, is more than just a sweet treat — it’s a powerhouse of health benefits that are all confirmed by science. (h/t to Healthline.com)
The origins of manuka honey

Manuka honey is produced by bees that pollinate the flowers of the manuka bush (Leptospermum scoparium), a plant native to New Zealand and parts of Australia. Unlike regular honey, which can come from a variety of floral sources, manuka honey is distinct because of its unique bioactive compounds. These compounds, particularly methylglyoxal (MGO), are responsible for its potent antioxidant properties.
While all honey offers health benefits, manuka honey stands out due to its unique composition. Regular honey contains hydrogen peroxide, which gives it mild beneficial properties. However, this compound is unstable and loses its effectiveness when exposed to heat or light.
Manuka honey, on the other hand, contains non-peroxide activity (NPA), which remains stable and effective even under harsh conditions. MGO, a naturally occurring compound found in high concentrations in manuka honey, is derived from the nectar of the manuka flower and is believed to be the key to manuka honey's remarkable health benefits.
The higher the MGO content, the more potent the manuka honey is.
To ensure quality and authenticity, Manuka honey is often graded using the Unique Manuka Factor (UMF) system. Developed by the UMF Honey Association in New Zealand, this system measures the presence of beneficial compounds like MGO, leptosperin and dihydroxyacetone (DHA). A higher UMF rating indicates superior quality and potency, giving consumers confidence in the product they’re purchasing.
Manuka: a nutrient powerhouse

Manuka honey isn’t just about MGO and UMF — it’s also packed with essential nutrients. Compared to regular honey, manuka honey contains up to four times more nutrients, including:

• Minerals – Copper, manganese, magnesium, phosphorus, calcium, iron, potassium and zinc
• Vitamins – B vitamins like B6, thiamine, niacin, riboflavin and pantothenic acid
• Other compounds – Amino acids, enzymes, alkaloids, glycosides and volatile compounds

Manuka honey is also rich in antioxidants like flavonoids and polyphenols, which help combat free radicals and support overall health. (Related: Emergency food prep: Stock up on manuka honey, a must-have survival food and barter item.)
For most people, manuka honey is safe to consume. However, there are a few exceptions:

• Infants – Honey should not be given to children under 12 months due to the risk of botulism.
• Diabetics – Due to its high sugar content, Manuka honey may affect blood sugar levels in people with diabetes.
• Individuals with honey or bee allergy – Allergic reactions are possible in people with allergies.

Why choose manuka over regular honey?

While regular honey has its merits, manuka honey’s unique properties make it a superior choice for those seeking targeted health benefits. Its stable NPA, high MGO content and nutrient density set it apart from other honeys.
Plus, the UMF grading system ensures you’re getting a high-quality, authentic product. When in doubt, try Health Ranger Select Premium Manuka Honey MGO 514+ (15+ NPA).
While there are different brands of manuka honey, you can rest assured that Premium Manuka Honey MGO 514+ (15+ NPA) from the Health Ranger Store is a safe choice because it offers guaranteed potency and is meticulously lab tested to ensure quality, purity and cleanliness.
Manuka honey is more than just a sweetener — it’s a natural remedy with a rich history and impressive scientific backing. This golden elixir is worth adding to your pantry and daily routine. Just remember to look for the UMF trademark to ensure you’re getting the real deal.

Revolutionize your diet with pomegranate: The miracle juice for gut health and metabolism

03/30/2025 // Willow Tohi // 1.2K Views

Tags: alternataive medicien, cancer, cancer solutions, diabetes prevention, digestion, goodhealth, grocery cures, gut health, metabolism, natural cures, natural medication, nutrients, plant medicine, prevention, probiotics, remedies

• The gut contains over 30 trillion bacteria, surpassing the number of stars in the sky, which play critical roles in metabolism, immunity, skin health and brain function.
• This "guardian" bacteria supports insulin control, reduces diabetes risk and is linked to lower obesity rates by improving metabolic health.
• Pomegranate juice (rich in ellagitannins) stimulates mucus production in the gut, creating an ideal environment for Akkermansia to thrive. Just 8 ounces daily can be effective.
• Pomegranate offers antioxidant effects, essential nutrients (vitamins E/K, magnesium), potential cancer prevention (prostate, breast, lung) and improved memory/cognitive function.
• Pure pomegranate juice is a simple way to boost Akkermansia and overall health, with options like diluted juice or extracts for convenience.

Your gut is a microbial galaxy of more than 30 trillion bacteria. Yes, you read that right: "That's more bacteria in your gut than stars in the night sky," world-renowned physician and researcher William Li, M.D., author of Eat To Beat Your Diet, recently shared on the MindBodyGreen podcast. These bacteria communicate with each other at all hours of the day to support different functions, like metabolism, immunity, skin health, brain health and so much more.
It can be overwhelming to reflect on the scope of your gut microbiome, but according to Li, "we're beginning this expedition into the great unknown to discover the important bacteria." One of those important discoveries happens to be a bacteria called Akkermansia muciniphila. "This one bacteria has been discovered to be a guardian of our health," Li adds.
Why pomegranate juice is great for gut and metabolic health

"Akkermansia is a guardian," says Li. "It helps insulin control—if you've got good Akkermansia working on your behalf, it actually lowers the risk of Type 2 diabetes. It also seems to influence body fitness." He references a study in which high amounts of Akkermansia are associated with a lower risk of obesity. "That association is really important because of the role of Akkermansia and controlling your insulin and metabolism," he adds.
Suffice it to say: This is one powerful gut bacteria. Yet despite the complex nature of your gut microbiome, it's not too difficult to promote Akkermansia naturally. According to Li, all it takes is some pomegranate juice: "It turns out that certain kinds of polyphenols, ellagitannins, will actually prompt your gut to secrete more mucus," he notes. And mucus serves as the "soil" this bacteria needs in order to thrive.
The science behind pomegranate and Akkermansia

Pomegranate and pomegranate juice contain these ellagitannins, which have been shown to stimulate the growth of Akkermansia in in vitro culture studies. Li recommends drinking an 8-ounce cup of pure pomegranate juice to get things grooving: "Two shot glasses worth is enough to get the mucus flowing in your gut," he notes. Although, pure pomegranate juice can be pretty tart, which is why many commercial options often contain added sugar—and consuming refined sugar has its own gut health-related issues.
You could also, of course, munch on whole pomegranate seeds. But you'd have to eat a whole bunch of them to get a meaningful amount of the juice. As for pomegranate powders and extracts? "That will probably work as well," Li says. "The research hasn't been done to compare those things head to head, but I think you can have juice [or supplements]." It's the ellagitannins in pomegranate that have the beneficial effect, which are present in pomegranate extracts.
The broader health benefits of pomegranate

Pomegranate isn't just a boon for gut health; it offers a plethora of other health benefits:

1. Antioxidant effects: Pomegranate is rich in polyphenols, which are powerful antioxidants. These antioxidants help reduce levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), a type of free radical, in the body. High levels of ROS can lead to oxidative stress, resulting in cell damage and inflammation. Antioxidants help remove ROS and protect the body from damage.
2. Nutrient boost: Pomegranate contains many nutrients and is a good source of vitamin E, vitamin K and magnesium. Vitamin E is an antioxidant, vitamin K is essential for blood clotting and magnesium helps manage blood pressure and glucose levels.
3. Cancer prevention: The National Institutes of Health (NIH) list pomegranate as one of the natural remedies that may help treat or prevent prostate cancer. An older, 2014 research article notes that the polyphenols in pomegranate may aid in preventing the growth of cancer cells related to prostate cancer. In mouse studies, researchers linked pomegranate fruit extract with a reduction in prostate-specific antigen levels and the inhibition of tumor growth. Ingredients in pomegranate may also help prevent breast, lung and skin cancer.
4. Memory and cognitive function: Drinking pomegranate juice every day may improve learning and memory. In an older study, 32 people consumed either 8 ounces of pomegranate juice or another drink for 8 weeks. After 4 weeks, those who consumed pomegranate showed better scores on memory tests. fMRI scans also revealed increased brain activity during these tests.

The takeaway

Plenty of foods can feed the healthy microbes in your gut. But if you're looking to nourish Akkermansia muciniphila in particular, you might want to consider stocking up on pure pomegranate juice. Pour it over ice with a bit of sparkling water, and you've got yourself a refreshing, gut-healthy pomegranate spritz—or you can always opt for the supplement route if you'd like to maintain a daily dose of pomegranate.
In summary, the benefits of pomegranate extend far beyond gut health, making it a versatile and valuable addition to any health-conscious diet. Whether you're sipping on pure pomegranate juice or taking a pomegranate supplement, you're supporting your body's vital functions and promoting overall well-being.

5 powerful reasons black beans could be your body’s best friend

by: News Staff | April 3, 2025


(NaturalHealth365) How many of you have walked right past those bags of black beans in the grocery store without a second thought? Or maybe you’ve got a dusty can sitting in your pantry right now, waiting for the next time you make tacos?
It turns out that these tiny legumes might be one of nature’s most overlooked health powerhouses – and scientists have just discovered something that could make them even more valuable than we thought.
Little black gems could help fight cancer (Yes, really!)

A recent study published in the journal Molecules has uncovered something that should make us all pay attention. Scientists identified a natural compound in black beans called α-1,6-glucan that inhibits cancer cell growth in laboratory settings.
Specifically, this remarkable compound halted the reproduction of cervical cancer cells by interrupting their normal cell cycle. The researchers found that the bean extract worked by regulating crucial cellular pathways (with technical names like PI3K-Akt and MAPK) that control how cells multiply.
While we’re not suggesting you ditch conventional cancer treatments for a bean burrito, this research adds to the growing evidence that what we eat truly matters for long-term health. And black beans just got a major upgrade in the credibility department.
Black beans: Antioxidant champions hidden in plain sight

When was the last time you thought of black beans as a super food? While trendy exotic foods get all the attention, science reveals that black beans deserve serious recognition. According to research in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, black beans are antioxidant powerhouses.
In testing 12 common bean varieties, researchers made a remarkable discovery. Black beans didn’t just rank well; they topped the list for antioxidant activity. The science revealed a clear pattern: beans with darker seed coats contained substantially higher levels of protective compounds. This gives black beans a significant advantage in neutralizing the free radicals that damage our cells daily.
What makes these beans so special? Their dark coats contain concentrated anthocyanins – delphinidin, petunidin, and malvidin – the same compounds that give blueberries their health-boosting reputation. A typical 100-gram serving delivers about 214 milligrams of these protective anthocyanins.
This matters because these compounds shield your cells from damage linked to serious health concerns like cognitive decline, cancer development, and cardiovascular problems. Nature packages powerful medicine in these affordable little beans.
The essential mineral that powers your detox systems

Most nutrition conversations overlook molybdenum, yet without this mineral, your body’s natural detoxification systems would falter. First identified in the late 1700s, this trace element activates enzymes that protect you from harmful substances you encounter daily.
Black beans stand out as an excellent source of this essential mineral. Your body relies on molybdenum to transform dangerous compounds into harmless ones it can easily eliminate. Two critical enzymes depend on it: aldehyde oxidase neutralizes acetaldehyde (a cancer-promoting byproduct from alcohol and yeast metabolism), while sulfite oxidase converts potentially harmful food preservatives into harmless sulfates.
This becomes particularly important for people with sulfite sensitivities. For these individuals, exposure to sulfites in preserved foods and wines can trigger breathing difficulties ranging from mild wheezing to severe asthma attacks. Regularly consuming molybdenum-rich foods like black beans may help reduce these adverse reactions by supporting proper sulfite processing.
Black beans help balance blood sugar

The glycemic index measures how quickly foods raise blood sugar levels. With a low score of just 30, black beans offer remarkable metabolic benefits. Unlike refined carbohydrates that cause rapid spikes and crashes, black beans release glucose gradually into your bloodstream.
This steady energy release prevents the destructive cycle of insulin surges that drive hunger, mood swings, and fatigue. Over time, choosing low glycemic foods like black beans helps prevent insulin resistance and reduces your risk of developing diabetes and cardiovascular issues.
The weight management benefits are equally compelling. When blood sugar spikes, your body produces insulin to manage the surge, often converting excess carbohydrates to fat. By maintaining stable blood glucose levels, black beans help interrupt this fat-storage cycle, supporting healthy weight through improved metabolic function.
Beauty benefits that might surprise you

The protective compounds in black beans can help your skin, too. The anthocyanins in black beans help neutralize free radicals that break down collagen and elastin, proteins essential for firm, youthful skin.
When skin is exposed to excessive sunlight, it produces enzymes called metalloproteinases. While some help repair damage, others actually break down collagen structures, eventually leading to wrinkles and sagging skin.
Black beans provide both protective antioxidants and the building blocks your body needs for skin repair – protein, zinc, and copper. These nutrients work together to maintain skin structure and promote natural collagen production.
Simple ways to add more black beans to your diet

Ready to enjoy more black beans? Here are practical ways to include them in your meals:

• Toss them into salads for extra protein and texture
• Transform them into dips for vegetables
• Add them to soups or chili for heartiness
• Create bean patties for a meat-free burger alternative
• Include them in breakfast burritos with eggs and vegetables
• Try black bean brownies for a fiber-rich dessert
• Simmer them with rice for classic beans and rice

Important safety note: Always cook dried black beans thoroughly, as raw beans contain compounds that can be toxic. Just remember to soak black beans overnight, to improve digestibility. In addition, if you decide to use canned beans, always choose low-sodium varieties and rinse them well before using.
With their exceptional nutritional profile and newly discovered disease-fighting potential, black beans deserve regular appearances in your meals. Your body – from your cells to your skin – will benefit from their protective effects.
