Could red yeast rice really have saved Michael

Everyone is talking about this red yeast rice doing miracles on your overall health condition particularly on your hearth vis-a-vis the quality of the circulating blood in your system? By the looks of Michael (Jackson) and you can see him on one video of his concert rehearsals he perfectly okay, not when the time has arrived for him to completely rest from the troubles of this world. The red yeast that grows in this variety of rice that made it well known contains this compound call monacolins that is responsbile for the inhibition of the synthesis of cholesterol. Michael may not show dietary need for less of the bad cholesterol but definitely there is some stress going on inside him. If ever Demerol would have played a role in the cardiac arrest the quality of his blood which could have contributed to Michael's need for a stronger pain reliever could not have lead to this end. A good diet with red yeast rice could have given Michael more time to give us all his best at least for the last segment of his life here on earth.

Red Yeast Rice

Mood: useful
I’m trying a new food supplement to control my cholesterol level. My cardiologist recommended I try Red Yeast Rice, as an alternative to prescription drugs to lower my cholesterol level. It seems to be working just fine. Red yeast rice has long been used in traditional Chinese medicine as a remedy for poor circulation, indigestion, and diarrhea. Red yeast rice contains naturally-occurring substances called monacolins.
A particular monocolins, called lovastatin, is the active ingredient in some popular prescription drugs that lowers cholesterol levels (statin drugs). Lovastatin is believed to be converted to a substance that inhibits HMG-CoA reductase when ingested in the body. HMG-CoA reductase is an enzyme that triggers cholesterol production. I guess red yeast rice is the safer and more natural way to go in lowering cholesterol.

Health benefits of Carrot

Mood: tranquil
Carrot is one of the most nutritious vegetable around. Recent studies proved that carrots are packed with important nutrients such as beta-carotene, an antioxidant, which counters the damaging effects of oxygen on the cells of the body. Various antioxidants have been evaluated as cancer preventatives, since damage to the cells by oxygen and other chemicals can lead to the formation of cancerous tumors. Studies further suggest that people who eat more than five carrots a week are much less likely to suffer a stroke than those who eat only one carrot a month. My friend Shaun Olmstead can’t help but quip, “No wonder Bugs Bunny is so healthy!”
Carrots also have a respectable fiber content, half of which is the soluble fiber calcium pectate which may help lower blood-cholesterol levels by binding with and eliminating bile acids, triggering cholesterol to be drawn out of the bloodstream to make more bile acids.
Like Mom always say, carrots are good for the eyes. This veggie is packed with beta-carotene, a compound which the body stores and converts to vitamin A as it is needed. The retina of the eye needs vitamin A to function; a deficiency of vitamin A causes night blindness. Though extra vitamin A won't help you see better, its antioxidant properties may help prevent cataracts and keep your eyes healthy.

Fruit and Vegetable juices for health
Date: - Subscribe
Juices made from fresh fruits and vegetables are the perfect fast food for today's busy bodies on the go. My health buff friend, Shaun Olmstead, says that these juices contain all the nutritious goodness of the produce in a concentrated form. It’s easier to gulp down a pound of carrots in juice form than eat its equivalent 10 pieces.
Don't be afraid to experiment with different combinations of juices, just let your taste buds be the guide. Vegetable juices that taste "strong" such as spinach and beet, can be diluted with milder tasting juices such as carrot, celery, or apple juice. Below are some fruit and veggie juice combinations and their healthy benefits:
Carrot + Ginger + Apple - Boost and cleanse our system.
Apple + Cucumber + Celery - Prevent cancer, reduce cholesterol, and improve stomach upset and headache.
Tomato + Carrot + Apple - Improve skin complexion and bad breath.
