YOU and ground black pepper sounds like such a simple

everyday item in our diets but I think you need to know about:

Organic ground black pepper and its health benefits

The following is from organicfacts.net

They include relief from respiratory disorders, coughs, the

common cold, constipation, indigestion, anemia, impotency,

muscular stains, dental disease, pyorrhea, diarrhea, and heart

disease.

Black pepper is the fruit of the black pepper plant from the

Piperaceae family and s used as both a spice and a medicine.

The chemical piperine, which is present in black pepper, causes

the spiciness.  It is native to Kerala, the southern state of India.

Since ancient times, black pepper is one of the most widely

traded spices in the world.  It is not considered a seasonal plant

and is, therefore, available throughout the year When dried, this

plant-derived spice is referred to as a peppercorn and is then

ground into a powder to be put on food to add flavor and spice.

Because of its antibacterial properties, pepper is also used to

preserve food.  It is a rich source of manganese, iron, potassium,

Vitamin-C, vitamin K, and dietary fiber.  Black pepper is also a very

good anti-inflammatory agent.

Good for the stomach

Weight loss

Skin health

Respiratory relief

Antibacterial quality

Antioxidant potential

Enhances bioavailability

Cognitive impairment and neurological health

Peptic ulcers

Asthma and whooping cough

Dr. Mercola has some good facts on black pepper:

Black pepper helps shore up the system with other minerals like

potassium for controlling the heart rate and blood pressure, and

calcium to strengthen your bones and teeth.  Zinc, according to

studies promote cell growth and are a stealth antioxidant,

protecting against free radical damage.

Black pepper contains essential oils like piperine, ammonia-

derived alkaloid, which gives pepper its bold character and heat,

as well as the monoterpenes sabinene, pinene, terpinene,

limonene, and Mercene, which give this spice it aromatic

qualities.  All combined, these oils in aromatherapy can help in

easing aching muscles chilblains, and arthritis, and have a

curative property for constipation and sluggish digestion.

Now the good part:

A study by the University of Michigan Cancer Center found that

black pepper was found to prevent the development of breast cancer

tumors.  They found that the piperine content of black pepper

plays a key role in preventing cancers.  When combined with

turmeric its anticancer properties are heightened.

YOU and Water Exercising for Healthy and Happy Aging

The following is from Dr. Mercola’s website about water exercises:

When doing exercises, you may need a change of pace, moving your

workout to the water may rekindle your enthusiasm, while at the same

time providing some unique benefits

You might think you could not possibly get as intense of a workout in the water,

but research suggests otherwise.  Due to the resistance of the water, t just

seems like you cannot work as hard, but in reality, you are.

The water acts as a form of built-in resistance as if you are surrounded

your body with weights, making it simple to increase the intensity of your

workout and challenge muscles that are harder to engage on land.

Also, because water lessens the effects of gravity, you are able to

move your body through a wider range of motion, which improves flexibility.

Even your lungs get a beneficial workout because the water pressure

makes them work harder than they would on land.

Because it is low-impact and easily tailored to your fitness level, anyone

can benefit from water exercise, regardless of age or agility.

If you are overweight or obese, elderly have arthritis, joint pain,

osteoporosis, or an injury that makes weight-bearing exercise difficult or

painful, water may be an excellent choice.  Swimming or walking in water

reduces the pressure n your back and knees.

Exercising in water builds cardiovascular stamina, strength, and flexibility,

helps burn body fat, increases circulation, and can help you rehabilitate

healing muscles and joints.

Research shows that people who water exercise can burn as much body

fat and build as much muscle as those who engage in land-based exercise

programs.

From livestrong.com:

Expect to burn between 400 and 500 calories per hour in a water aerobics

class, according to the Aquatic Exercise Association.  The actual amount

your burn will depend on your size, the intensity of your movements, as

well as water temperature and depth.  In general, faster movements

incorporating the upper a lower body in deep water elicit the greatest

calorie burn.

When exercising in water, you work against 12 times the resistance of air,

according to an article published in “American Fitness”.  Simply kicking and

cupping the water helps contribute to muscle development, which

translates into a higher metabolism and healthier body.

I have been doing water aerobics for about 25 years.  I do 100 – 200 reps

of jumping jacks, leg lifts, jogging, strategies and as fast and as much as I

can and usually in the water for about 1 hour.
