Scientists have found out, that, one of the most useful to health juices is cherry juice. It contains the highest among fruit level of antioxidants struggling with illnesses.

Cherry juice also contains other important nutrients, as beta carotene (19 times more than in bilberry or wild strawberry), fiber, iron, magnesium, potassium and vitamins C and E. It will help to reduce arthritis and gout pain, reduces risk factors of heart illness, diabetes and occurrence of some cancer formations. Cherries also prevent loss of memory and slow down ageing process.

For $ 179 you can recreate a tiny landscape on your dining table. There is a price of an unusual subject of kitchen utensils — the so-called topographical bowl created by Japanese designer Kouiti Okamoto. By its name the ceramic soup (or salad) bowl owes to precise contours and form, which realistically reminding hills.

The designer suggests to take meal with imagination and to be able “to play” with rituals of food reception. Okamoto approves, that if to fill the bowl with salad before having dinner the natural landscape of a green valley or a wood will be developed and if to fill it with soup — the Alpine lake. The miracle bowl should become an excellent gift to the former seafarers or, most likely, to eccentric collectors.

The use of coffee or tea will help men who smoke to reduce risk of the intimate impact caused by blocking of blood circulation. These drinks possess the strong antioxidizing properties preventing negative effects of smoking. Doctors from Caroline Institute (Sweden) have found out, that coffee and tea also protect brain from a hemorrhage, strengthenings of arteries and atherosclerosis.

The Research proceeded within 13 years, included 26 thousand 556 adult men from Finland which were chronic smokers. Having considered age and other risk factors for intimate impact, physicians have noticed, that men who drank 8 or more cups of coffee daily, reduced risk of intimate dysfunction and a brain heart attack at 23 %, and those who drank two or more cups of tea, had decrease the risk at 21 %. Favorable influences of coffee and tea consumption in lots biologically speak by the maintenance of fenolitic structures in them, which are capable to block the inflammatory processes connected with smoking.

Scientists have noticed that the moderate use of red wine renders salutary effect on person and animals health. Nevertheless, they were borrowed with the mechanism of such influence. It is considered traditionally, that it is connected with polyphenols action — strong antioxidants which are a part of red wine, as of fruit and vegetables. Nevertheless, experience showed, that polyphenols are very badly absorbed in stomach and intestines.

To find out, what is the matter, Joseph Kanner and its colleagues from Israel Volcany Centre of Science have compared structure of stomachs of two groups of rodents, one of which fed with red meat, and the second — the same meat in a combination with wine. As it has appeared, addition of wine considerably reduced concentration of substances, rendering pernicious effect for cells. Besides polyphenols not only interfered with formation of citotoxines, and also blocked their absorption by intestines walls at their further movement in digestive path.

At first sight, it is an ordinary red berry. Synsepalum dulcificum grows in the western Africa. But now it is named “miracle fruit” and «culinary elite» because of surprising ability to change sour taste of food into sweet. The berry contains glycoprotein which temporarily blocks ability of mouth to feel sour and bitter taste. It is enough to add in a dish the “miracle fruit» and lemons suddenly become sweet as lemonade and vinegar gets the taste of a chocolate dairy cocktail.

In New York and San Francisco recently have got popularity the parties where visitors chew “miracle fruit” or accept pills from dried Synsepalum dulcificum, and then eat the whole mountain of dishes with the changed taste. In the Great Britain, in the meantime, demand on “miracle fruit ” has grown up to such degree, that two main suppliers of the country warn clients, that it is necessary to wait some weeks.

Though the effect is not confirmed yet by scientists, manufacturers of the fruit speaks, that the patients who are passing a rate of chemotherapy likes the fruit because they help to reduce unpleasant metal aftertaste, arising after procedures.

Also there is an opinion that the miracle-fruit could serve as natural sugar alternative for diabetics.
