Gano Life Is Great For High Blood Pressure 2

Can Ganoderma really cure high blood pressure? Are there any herbs that can seriously help high blood pressure sufferers? Many Doctors say it’s impossible to cure it. Some tell you that you must take medication forever. Fortunately, many people have successfully improved their high blood pressure with lifestyle changes and herbs like Ganoderma Lucidum permanently. What is high blood pressure? Blood pressure readings are measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg) and usually given as two numbers. For example, 120 over 80 (written as 120/80 mmHg). • The top number is your systolic pressure, the pressure created when your heart beats. It is considered high if it is consistently over 140. • The bottom number is your diastolic pressure, the pressure inside blood vessels when the heart is at rest. It is considered high if it is consistently over 90. Either or both of these numbers may be too high. Pre-hypertension is when your systolic blood pressure is between 120 and 139 or your diastolic blood pressure is between 80 and 89 on multiple readings. If you have pre-hypertension, you are more likely to develop high blood pressure. High blood pressure is known as a silent killer as there are usually no warning signs in the early stages. Although you may not feel drastic changes, untreated high blood pressure gradually damages your body organs. It can also cause heart failure. The heart muscle can become so weak that your heart cannot pump enough blood for your whole body. Over the long term, untreated high blood pressure can either burst blood vessels or cause them to gradually narrow and become blocked. In both situations, blood flow stops. Depending on which blood vessels are affected, it can cause: • Aortic dissection • Blood vessel damage (arteriosclerosis) • Brain damage • Congestive heart failure • Kidney dfailure • Kidney failure • Heart attack • Hypertensive heart disease • Stroke • Vision loss (blindness) Please contact me for more information about Gano Life Ganoderma at ganoforlifeusa@gmail.com.

Ganoderma: Is it the Cure for High Blood Pressure? Added by GM on September 1, 2012. Ganoderma lucidum, also named Lingzhi or Reishi, has been widely used all over the world for centuries. According to Chinese medicine, Ganoderma lucidum can penetrate into and work on the five key human organs for impairment of the heart, lung, liver, pancreas, and kidney. Ganoderma lucidum has been proven to have curative effects on the various human systems, including respiratory, circulatory, digestive, neural, endocrine, locomotory, etc, involving medical, surgical, gynecological, pediatric, and Enterology. All these happenings are because of its fundamental effect of “supporting the vital essence and securing the basics”, thus to improving the immune system. It differs from any other medicines that are used to cure specific diseases, or supplementary nutrients that only address particular body requirements. Ganoderma lucidum helps regulate entire body mechanism and metabolism to ensure that all organs function properly. Numerous studies of Ganoderma lucidum mainly in China, Korea, Japan and the United States, have shown its effectiveness in the treatment of a very wide range of diseases and symptoms. For example, reports of Ganoderma’s effect on stamina, appetite, and other human conditions are largely anecdotal and haven’t been studied scientifically. It is perhaps more comprehensible at this time to explain Ganoderma’s “miraculous powers” from the traditional Chinese medicine point of view. Some specific effects of Ganoderma lucidum are as follows: Effects on Hypertension Ganoderma lucidum can effectively reduce blood pressure of an anesthetized rabbit: systolic and diastolic pressure lowered by 15% and 25% respectively. Related neural activity is also inhibited: inhibition is 20% and 40% respectively. According to a report of a hospital, there had been 18 cases of high blood pressure successfully cured by Ganoderma lucidum extract, effectiveness up to 88.9%. It was stated that the effect of reducing blood pressure by Ganoderma lucidum was mainly the result of inhibition to the sympathetic nervous system. From another report, among 30 cases using Ganoderma lucidum products to cure high blood pressure, effectiveness was 88.3%. Moreover, it was found that Ganoderma lucidum also extends and stabilizes the effect of reducing blood pressure of other medicine. Effects on Cardiovascular Health Clinical studies and experiments with animals confirm that Ganoderma lucidum can effectively dilate coronary artery, increase coronary vessel blood flow, and improve circulation in cardiac muscle capillaries, thus increase the supply of oxygen and energy to cardiac muscle. Therefore, Ganoderma lucidum helps to protect the heart from shortage of blood supply, and it is ideal for both curing and preventing heart diseases like nausea. Ganoderma lucidum can obviously reduce the level of blood cholesterol, liporotein and triglycerides in hypertensive patienst. It prevents the formation of arterial atheromatous patches. If patches are already formed, Ganoderma lucidum will reduce cholesterol in arterial wall and soften the blood vessel to avoid further damage. It also partially improves blood circulation, and inhibits platelet aggregation. All these effects contribute to preventing various kinds of stroke.

GANODERMA AND DIABETES Aug 16, 2013 | By Henry Pitot Ganoderma lucidum might be effective for diabetic patients. Ganoderma lucidum, or reishi mushroom, has a long history of use in China and Japan as a general promoter of robust health. It has shown efficacy in the treatment of diabetes. However, more research is needed to elucidate Ganoderma lucidum's potential mechanisms of action in mediating hypoglycemic effects. If you have diabetes, you should consult with your doctor to determine if Ganoderma lucidum supplements are right for you. Want to lose weight? Learn more about Gano Life Green Coffee Bean Capsules! INSULIN RESISTANCE X. Zhou and colleagues of Fudan University examined the effect of a water-soluble extract of Ganoderma lucidum on circulating glucose concentrations in mice. The results of their study, published in "The American Journal of Chinese Medicine" in 2007, showed that Ganoderma lucidum can reduce insulin resistance, which would increase insulin sensitivity. It was also found that Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides and triterpenes are the active compounds with anti-diabetic properties. ANTIOXIDANT EFFECTS A study conducted by Hui-Na Zhang, Peking University, and colleagues found that Ganoderma lucidum extract causes blood sugar to lower and repairs alloxan-induced pancreatic cell damage in diabetic rats. It is thought that free radicals generated by alloxan kill pancreatic cells. The analysis of this experiment, published in "Life Sciences" in September 2003, indicated that Ganoderma provides profound protection to pancreatic cells from alloxan-induced oxidative damage. HYPOGLYCEMIC PROPERTIES Yihuai Gao, Massey University, and colleagues have demonstrated the hypoglycemic properties of Ganoderma lucidum. The results of this study were published in "International Journal for Medicinal Mushrooms" in 2004. The anti-diabetic effects of Ganoderma lucidium are likely attributable to its polysaccharide content, says Dr. Gao.

MOCHA ESPRESSO GRANITA THE FOODIE PHYSICIAN BY SONALI RUDER MADE IT, LOVED IT. WHAT'S THIS? SERVING SIZE 8 PREP TIME 10 MIN TOTAL TIME 2 HR 10 MIN ADD TO MY RECIPE BOX ADD TO MY GROCERY LIST PRINT THIS RECIPE EMAIL THIS RECIPE ADD NOTES TO RECIPE It’s common to make granitas with fresh fruit — watermelon, berries and citrus are all popular flavors. I like to make mine with espresso. This dessert is for coffee lovers like myself. It definitely packs a punch. I prefer mine less sweet so I use only 1/3 cup sugar for 4 cups of coffee. If you prefer your espresso sweeter, feel free to add more sugar. I recently bought a box of demerara sugar, a natural, unrefined sugar common in Britain. It has a slight molasses flavor, which works well in this dish. If you don’t have it, you can substitute turbinado sugar or any sugar that you have. Because I like a slight mocha flavor with my espresso, I stir in a little unsweetened cocoa powder. Not only does it taste good, but it’s good for you too. Cocoa powder, which is made from the cocoa bean, is filled with a type of plant nutrient called flavonoids. The flavonoids found in chocolate (called flavanols) have antioxidant properties that help the body resist damage from normal bodily processes and environmental contaminants. They also have beneficial effects on cardiovascular health such as lowering blood pressure and improving blood flow to the brain and heart. To complement the espresso and cocoa, I also add a secret ingredient: a bit of cinnamon. INGREDIENTS 4 cup brewed espresso or strong coffee ⅓ cup natural demerara sugar (can substitute turbinado sugar) 2 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder ¾ tsp cinnamon fat-free whipped topping or freshly whipped cream, optional dark chocolate shaving, optional DIRECTIONS Stir the espresso, sugar, cocoa powder and cinnamon together in a large bowl until the sugar is dissolved. Pour the mixture into a 13- x 9-inch glass baking dish. Taste and adjust the level of sweetness as desired. Place the dish in the freezer. Remove the dish after thirty minutes and using a fork, scrape the mixture, breaking up any icy clumps. Return the dish to the freezer. Repeat the process every thirty minutes or so, scraping the mixture with a fork to break up the ice crystals and create a light and fluffy texture. It should take about 2-2 ½ hours total. Scoop the granita into dessert bowls. Serve plain or garnish with whipped topping, chocolate shavings and a sprinkling of cinnamon if desired. Serve immediately.

SERVING SIZE 18 PREP TIME 1 HR TOTAL TIME 4 HR ADD TO MY RECIPE BOX ADD TO MY GROCERY LIST PRINT THIS RECIPE EMAIL THIS RECIPE ADD NOTES TO RECIPE INGREDIENTS 2 cup ground coffee-and-chicory blend (see Note) 3 cup milk 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast 3 Tbsp granulated sugar 4 ½ cup bread flour, plus more for rolling 2 stick chilled unsalted butter, cut into cubes 4 tsp kosher salt vegetable oil, for frying confectioners’ sugar, for dusting vanilla ice cream, for serving espresso, for serving DIRECTIONS In a large jar, shake the coffee with 2 cups of the milk. Refrigerate for 1 hour. Strain the milk through a fine sieve into a measuring cup and add as much fresh milk as needed to make 1 1/2 cups. Discard the coffee grounds. In the bowl of a standing electric mixer fitted with the dough hook, combine 1/4 cup of the coffee milk with the yeast and granulated sugar; let stand until foamy, 5 minutes. Add the remaining coffee milk, the 4 1/2 cups of bread flour and the butter and salt. Mix at low speed until the dough just comes together, 2 minutes. Increase the speed to medium and mix until the dough is smooth, 5 minutes. Transfer to a greased bowl, cover and let stand in a warm place until slightly risen, 2 hours. Divide the dough into 4 pieces. On a floured work surface, roll out one piece of dough a scant 1/3 inch thick. Cut into 2-inch squares, then cut each square into two triangles.

ESPRESSO-SCENTED COFFEE CAKE KITCHEN DAILY EDITORS MADE IT, LOVED IT. WHAT'S THIS? SERVING SIZE 9 PREP TIME TOTAL TIME 2 HR ADD TO MY RECIPE BOX ADD TO MY GROCERY LIST PRINT THIS RECIPE EMAIL THIS RECIPE ADD NOTES TO RECIPE INGREDIENTS CAKE 8 Tbsp unsalted butter, chilled and diced, plus more for the pan 2 cup all-purpose flour 2 cup light brown sugar 1 tsp cinnamon ¾ cup pecans, toasted and coarsely chopped 1 ½ tsp baking powder ¾ tsp baking soda ½ tsp salt 1 cup buttermilk 1 egg, at room temperature 1 Tbsp instant espresso dissolved in 1 tablespoon hot water 1 tsp vanilla extract confectioners' sugar DIRECTIONS Equipment needed: A 9-inch spring form pan and a small ramekin 3 inch in diameter and about 1 3/4 inch tall (see cooking tip). Arrange a rack at center position and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F/180 degrees C/gas 4. Butter the bottom and sides of the spring form pan and then cut a sheet of parchment paper to fit the bottom of the pan. Place the paper in the pan and then butter the paper. Butter the sides and bottom of the ramekin and place it, right-side up, in the center of the pan. In a large bowl, stir together the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Add the diced butter and rub the mixture between your fingers until it resembles coarse crumbs. Remove 3/4 cup/115 g to a small bowl and add the chopped pecans; set aside. Add the baking powder, baking soda, and salt to the large bowl with the flour mixture and stir to combine. In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, dissolved espresso, and vanilla and then stir them into the dry ingredients just until well blended. The batter should be quite thick. Ladle half of the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle half of the nut mixture over the batter. Repeat with the remaining batter and nut mixture. Place the pan on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until a tester inserted into the area around the ramekin comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Cool the cake to room temperature, about 45 minutes. Then run a sharp knife around the inside edge of the pan to loosen the cake. Run the knife around the outside of the ramekin to loosen it from the cake. Gently remove the ramekin and the sides of the pan. Dust the cake with confectioners’ sugar, drizzle the glaze over the top, and serve. INGREDIENTS CREAMY ESPRESSO GLAZE 3 Tbsp milk, plus more if needed 1 ½ tsp instant espresso 3 oz cream cheese at room temperature, broken into small pieces ⅓ cup confectioners' sugar DIRECTIONS Creamy Espresso Glaze: In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk and espresso powder until the espresso has dissolved. Add the cream cheese. With an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the mixture until blended, and then gradually beat in the confectioners' sugar. The glaze should be smooth and thin enough to drizzle over the coffee cake. If too thick, thin with 1 teaspoon or more of extra milk. Cooking tip: A 3-inch ramekin works best in this recipe. If you use one wider in diameter the space for the batter will be smaller and as the cake cooks some of it is likely to fall into the ramekin. If you have an angel food pan with a removable bottom or a flat-bottomed tube insert for a 9-in/ 23-cm spring form pan, you can use either of those instead. A squeeze bottle with a small opening makes drizzling the glaze over the coffee cake very easy.

COFFEE BANANA BREAD EATORI BY TORI HASCHKA MADE IT, LOVED IT. WHAT'S THIS? ADD TO MY RECIPE BOX ADD TO MY GROCERY LIST PRINT THIS RECIPE EMAIL THIS RECIPE ADD NOTES TO RECIPE It’s a combination that goes together like hats and gloves, or pink wine and sunshine. Coffee and banana bread. One just makes the other that little bit nicer. It’s about having something warm in both hands. It’s the way that the bitterness of the coffee plays with the sweetness of the sticky sweet over ripe bananas. And the synchronicity of both benefiting from a touch of dairy fat. Both are friendlier after a slug of milk in the coffee and a smear of butter on the banana bread. It’s exactly what you need at about 10 am on a grim morning. I’ve long maintained that multitasking can make the world better. The Hungry One, disagrees in a sturdy, masculine kind of way. He thinks that’s how mistakes get made. Yet I only make to the other side of doing the monthly finances by putting special hand cream on my feet and wearing thick socks while I plod away, entering expenses. That way, something painful still feels indulgent. A trip to the gym is made possible only by listening to carefully curated playlists (and yes, the sound of Florence and the Machine singing ‘run faster for your…’ does actually make me run faster. I know I have to work for my cake). When it comes to a shot of coffee in your banana bread- this is one of those incidents of multitasking that makes a good thing, even better. The coffee tempers the sweetness but adds a note of caramel. The milk helps keep the bread moist and cake-like (because really, let’s not kid ourselves, this is cake, even if we eat it in the morning). And, that extra dash of caffeine just might add a little bit of extra spring in your step. I now present to you the multitasking coffee-banana bread combination; making your cake work harder for you. INGREDIENTS 2 ⅓ cup plain flour 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda 1 tsp salt 8 Tbsp butter, with extra for greasing 1 cup caster sugar 2 free-range eggs 4 banana, mashed ⅓ cup espresso topped with milk DIRECTIONS Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4. Sift the flour, bicarbonate of soda and salt into a large mixing bowl. In a separate bowl use a hand mixer to combine the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy and duckling yellow. Add the eggs, mashed bananas and coffee and to the butter and sugar mixture and stir well. Fold in the flour mixture. Do this gently- you don’t want to overwork the flour and have it turn out tough. Grease a 20cm x 12.5cm/8in x 5in loaf tin and pour the cake mixture into the tin. Transfer to the oven and bake for about an hour, or until well-risen and golden-brown. Remove from the oven and cool in the tin for a few minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely before serving. Serve with a coffee on the side. Perhaps some ricotta, or butter over the top. Contact me for more information on Gano Life Gourmet Coffee at ganoforlifeusa@gmail.com.

Antioxidants!), I think I might just be awake enough for breakfast when these are around. *Note: Even though these contain coffee, they don't really taste like it.

In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Stir in chocolate chips.{I like stirring add-ins to dry ingredients to help prevent sinkage to the bottom.} In a separate bowl, lightly beat egg. Mix in oil, coffee and vanilla. Pour wet ingredients over dry ingredients and mix just until flour is no longer dry.

Coffee certainly has a history as rich as its flavor. Learn more about your morning cup of joe. DECAFFEINATED COFFEE IS NOT CAFFEINE-FREE Scientists have determined that consuming 5 to 10 cups of decaffeinated coffee can reach the same level of caffeine as 1 or 2 cups of regular coffee.

HOW IS COFFEE DECAFFEINATED? The most common method of removing caffeine from coffee is water extraction, where hot water leaches out caffeine. The solution goes through a carbon filter to remove the caffeine, and then the water is reabsorbed by the beans for flavor and oils.

HOW WAS COFFEE DISCOVERED? Legend has it that coffee’s energizing effects were discovered in the Ethiopian highlands where a goatherd noticed his goats dancing around a shrub of wild red coffee berries. Contact me for more information on Gano Life Gourmet Coffee at ganoforlifeusa@gmail.com.

During their basic training, Suarez and Haft recall requiring black coffee to stay awake for their classes. They explain that "nobody talked about recipes or ratios -- on breaks, you threw a dollar into the metal tin, you filled up a plastic foam cup and you got back in the classroom. All you cared about was the caffeine keeping you stimulated for the next hour." They would then share a pot of coffee with their comrades to study in the evening. When the in the field soldiers receive an "Each Meal Ready to Eat" pack, which according to Suarez and Haft contains an entree, a snack, a dessert and small items to add variety to the meal. Packets of hot chocolate, coffee, apple cider or even tea were also included. Suarez and Haft claimed that a barter for the coffee-like items would ensue. After their deployment, Suarez and Haft recalled drinking coffee in a desert outpost. They described the beverage as a "syrupy, iced coffee creation," but it tasted better than anything they had had in a long time. When they returned home the obsession with coffee remained. They believe the process of drinking coffee at home and conversing with friends helped them to re-adjust to civilian life, which inspired them to write a book.

It was even rumored that when soldiers tried espresso in Italy that they watered it down to make the strong drink taste more like the coffee they were accustomed to at home. It has even been suggested that this process created the "Americano," a beverage now made at any Starbucks.

The Marines Michael Suarez and Steven Haft recalled the importance of coffee in their military experience throughout their e-book Perfect Coffee at Home. During both their training and deployment, coffee played an immense role in their lives as a tool both vital to their alertness and camraderie.

Coffee has been around since the 14th century. Even though the ancient beverage had been around for centuries coffee became popular amongst soldiers during the Industrial Revolution. It became a household staple due to the rise in advertising and the exposure to different cultures after World War I. It continued to play a role in the military through wars and training.

After World War I, soldiers began to drink coffee even more. In The Tea and Coffee Trade Journal, William Ukers wrote that “the 2,000,000 soldiers who went overseas and there had their coffee three times a day…since returning to civilian life are using it more than ever before.”

The Army Quartermaster Corps estimated that American service men were using 32.5 pounds of coffee per year. The soldiers even roasted, ground, vacuum packed and shipped beans abroad. Contact me for more information on how to get Gano Life Coffee at ganoforlifeusa@gmail.com.

THE HISTORY OF COFFEE IN THE MILITARY KITCHEN DAILY 9/6/13 Coffee is delicious and maybe even an integral part of your work day, but did you know that the tasty beverage has a rich history in the American military experience? Since the Civil War, coffee has played a part in the life of the soldier. Civil War Captain Robert K. Beecham wrote in his book Gettysburg: The Pivotal Battle of the Civil War, that “The power of the soldiers to endure the fatigue of the march and keep their places in the ranks was greatly enhanced by an opportunity to brew a cup of coffee by the wayside.” This tradition of coffee and the military particularly fascinated marines Michael Haft and Harrison Suarez. When Haft and Suarez joined the Marines they expected a tough journey, but they didn't anticipate an obsession with coffee. As their enthusiasm with the beverage grew, they began to realize that they had joined the ranks of many soldiers before them who relied on the drink as a way of life. In The New York Times Haft and Suarez wrote of the importance of the ritual that drinking coffee provided. "We would often share with our platoon sergeants and squad leaders while we gathered around a map and discussed our plans for the day. Whether in the forests of North Carolina, the mountains of California, or the deserts of Afghanistan, the ritual provided a sense of continuity." Haft and Suarez went on to write a book about their discovery of the link between coffee and American soldiers. Contact me for information on how to get Gano Life Coffee. ganoforlifeusa@gmail.com.
