SPAM SCAMS Via E-Mail Tracker Programs...
very interesting and a must read!

 The  man that sent this information is a computer  tech.  He spends a lot of time clearing the  junk off computers for people and listens to  complaints about speed.  All forwards are  not bad, just some.  Be sure you read the  very last paragraph. 

 He  wrote:

 By  now, I suspect everyone is familiar with http://snopes.com and http://truthorfiction.com for determining whether information received via  email is just that:  true/false or  fact/fiction.  

Both are excellent  sites.

 Advice  from http://snopes.com  VERY IMPORTANT!

 1)  Any time you see an email that says "forward  this on to '10' (or however many) of your  friends", "sign this petition", or "you'll get  bad luck" or "you'll get good luck" or "you'll  see something funny on your screen after you  send it" or whatever --- it almost always has an  email tracker program attached that tracks the  cookies and emails of those folks you forward  to.  The host sender is getting a copy each  time it gets forwarded and then is able to get  lists of 'active' email addresses to use in SPAM  emails or sell to other Spammers.  Even  when you get emails that demand you send the  email on  if you're not ashamed of God,Jesus  OR  America, etc---  that is email tracking, and they are playing on  our conscience.  These people don't care  how they get your email addresses - just as long  as they get them.  Also, emails that talk  about a missing child or a child with an  incurable disease "how would you feel if that  was your child" --- email tracking.  Ignore  them and don't participate!

 2)  Almost all emails that ask you to add your name  and forward on to others are similar to that  mass letter years ago that asked people to send  business cards to the little kid in Florida who  wanted to break the Guinness Book of Records for  the most cards.  All it was, and all any of  this type of email is, is a way to get names and  'cookie' tracking information for telemarketers  and Spammers -- to validate active email  accounts for their own profitable  purposes.


 You  can do your Friends and Family members a GREAT  favor by sending this information to them.   You will be providing a service to your  friends.  And you will be rewarded by not  getting thousands of spam emails in the  future!

  Do  yourself a favor and STOP  adding your name(s) to those types of listing  regardless how inviting they might sound! Or  make you feel guilty if you don't! It's all  about getting email addresses and nothing  more.

 You  may think you are supporting a GREAT cause,
but  you are NOT!

 Instead,  you will be getting tons of junk mail later and  very possibly a virus attached!  Plus, we  are helping the Spammers get rich!  Let's  not make it easy for them!

 ALSO:   Email petitions are NOT acceptable to Congress  of any other organization - I.e. Social  security, etc.  To be acceptable, petitions  must have a "signed signature" and full  address of the person signing the petition, so  this is a waste of time and you are just helping  the email trackers.

Tips  for Handling Telemarketers

Three Little  Words That Work!!
(1)The three  little words are: 'Hold On, Please....' 

Saying this, while  putting down your phone and walking off (instead of hanging-up  immediately) would make each telemarketing call so much more  time-consuming that boiler room sales would grind to a  halt. 
Then when you  eventually hear the phone company's 'beep-beep-beep' tone, you  know it's time to go back and hang up your handset, which has  efficiently completed its task.

These three little words  will help eliminate telephone  soliciting.. 

(2) Do you  ever get those annoying phone calls with no one on the other  end?

This is a  telemarketing technique where a machine makes phone calls and  records the time of day when a person answers the  phone. 
This technique  is used to determine the best time of day for a 'real' sales  person to call back and get someone at home.
What you can do after  answering, if you notice there is no one there, is to  immediately start hitting your # button on the phone, 6 or  7 times as quickly as possible. This confuses the machine  that dialed the call, and it kicks your number out of their  system. Gosh, what a shame not to have your name in their  system any longer!

###
 


(3) Junk Mail  Help:
When you get  'ads' enclosed with your phone or utility bill, return these  'ads' with your payment. Let the sending companies  throw their own junk mail away.
When you get those  'pre-approved' letters in the mail for everything from credit  cards to 2nd mortgages and similar type junk, do not throw  away the return envelope. 
Most of these  come with postage-paid return envelopes, right? It costs them more than  the regular 44 cents postage, 'IF' and when they receive them  back.
It costs them nothing if  you throw them away! The postage was around 50 cents before  the last increase and it is according to the weight. In that  case, why not get rid of some of your other junk mail and put  it in these cool little, postage-paid return envelopes.  

One of Andy  Rooney 's (60 minutes) ideas.

Send an ad for  your local chimney cleaner to American Express. Send a pizza  coupon to Citibank. If you didn't get  anything else that day, then just send them their blank  application back!
If you want to  remain anonymous, just make sure your name isn't on anything  you send them.
You can even  send the envelope back empty if you want to just to keep them  guessing! It still costs them 44 cents.
The banks and  credit card companies are currently getting a lot of their own  junk back in the mail, but folks, we need to OVERWHELM them.  Let's let them know what it's like to get lots of junk mail,  and best of all they're paying for it...Twice!
Let's help keep  our postal service busy since they are saying that e-mail is  cutting into their business profits, and that's why they need  to increase postage costs again. You get the  idea!

If enough people  follow these tips, it will work.
 I have been doing this  for years & get little junk mail anymore.
THIS JUST MIGHT BE  ONE E-MAIL  THAT YOU
WILL WANT TO FORWARD TO  YOUR FRIENDS!

JOHNS HOPKINS HOSPITAL... ALTERNATIVE CANCER TREATMENT! CCG Pop Superhero DIET, EXERCISE, ENVIRONMENT Be A Hero NO CHEMOTHERAPY...EAT LESS MEAT, SUGAR & COFFEE! Cookie Cutter Girl, Boston Superhero SHRINK TUMORS & CANCER CELLS!

Johns Hopkins Update - Very Good Article

AFTER YEARS OF TELLING PEOPLE CHEMOTHERAPY IS THE ONLY WAY
TO TRY ('TRY', BEING THE KEY WORD) TO ELIMINATE CANCER,
JOHNS HOPKINS SAYS THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE WAY!

Cancer Update from Johns Hopkins :

1. Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer

cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have

multiplied to a few billion. When doctors tell cancer patients

that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after

treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the

cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable

size.

2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a

person's lifetime.

3. When the person's immune system is strong the cancer

cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and

forming tumors.

4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has

nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic,

but also to environmental, food and lifestyle factors.

5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing

diet to eat more adequately and healthy, 4-5 times/day

and by including supplements will strengthen the immune system.

6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing

cancer cells and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells

in the bone marrow, gastrointestinal tract etc, and can

cause organ damage, like liver, kidneys, heart, lungs etc.

7.. Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars

and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.

8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often

reduce tumor size. However prolonged use of

chemotherapy and radiation do not result in more tumor

destruction.

9. When the body has too much toxic burden from

chemotherapy and radiation the immune system is either

compromised or destroyed, hence the person can succumb

to various kinds of infections and complications.

10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to

mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy.

Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to other

sites.

11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer

cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply.

*CANCER CELLS FEED ON:

a. Sugar substitutes like NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc are made with Aspartame and it is harmful. A better natural substitute would be Manuka honey or molasses, but only in very small amounts. Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in color Better alternative is Bragg's aminos or sea salt.

B. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk and substituting with unsweetened soy milk cancer cells are being starved.

c. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. A meat-based diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little other meat, like chicken. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer.

d. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains, seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the body into an alkaline environment. About 20% can be from cooked food including beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance growth of healthy cells. To obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells try and drink fresh vegetable juice (most vegetables including bean sprouts) and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed at temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C).. e. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine Green tea is a better alternative and has cancer fighting properties. Water-best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap water. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it.

12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the

intestines becomes putrefied and leads to more toxic buildup.

13. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By refraining from or eating less meat it frees more enzymes to attack the protein walls of cancer cells and allows the body's killer cells to destroy the cancer cells.

14. Some supplements build up the immune system (IP6, Flor-ssence, Essiac, anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, EFAs etc.) to enable the bodies own killer cells to destroy cancer cells.. Other supplements like vitamin E are known to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death, the body's normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, or unneeded cells.

15. Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit. A proactive and positive spirit will help the cancer warrior be a survivor. Anger, un-forgiveness and bitterness put the body into a stressful and acidic environment. Learn to have a loving and forgiving spirit. Learn to relax and enjoy life.

16. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment. Exercising daily, and deep breathing help to

get more oxygen down to the cellular level. Oxygen therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer

cells.

1. No plastic containers in micro.

2. No water bottles in freezer.

3. No plastic wrap in microwave..

Johns Hopkins has recently sent this out in its newsletters. This information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center as well. Dioxin chemicals cause cancer, especially breast cancer. Dioxins are highly poisonous to the cells of our bodies. Don't freeze your plastic bottles with water in them as this releases dioxins from the plastic.

Recently, Dr Edward Fujimoto, Wellness Program Manager at Castle Hospital , was on a TV program to explain this health hazard. He talked about dioxins and how bad they are for us. He said that we should not be heating our food in the microwave using plastic containers. This especially applies to foods that contain fat. He said that the combination of fat, high heat, and plastics releases dioxin into the food and ultimately into the cells of the body. Instead, he recommends using glass, such as Corning Ware, Pyrex or ceramic containers for heating food. You get the same results, only without the dioxin. So such things as TV dinners, instant ramen and soups, etc., should be removed from the container and heated in something else. Paper isn't bad but you don't know what is in the paper. It's just safer to use tempered glass, Corning Ware, etc. He reminded us that a while ago some of the fast food restaurants moved away from the foam containers to paper The dioxin problem is one of the reasons.

Please share this with your whole email list.........................

Also, he pointed out that plastic wrap, such as Saran, is just as dangerous when placed over foods to be cooked in the microwave. As the food is nuked, the high heat causes poisonous toxins to actually melt out of the plastic wrap and drip into the food. Cover food with a paper towel instead.

This is an article that should be sent to anyone important in your life. I got this email from an older friend of mine, 85+ years old, takes great care of himself and has survived minor cancer outbreaks.

Cockroaches Are The New Antibiotics of the Future!

Cockroaches, the creepy critters reviled for invading kitchens the country over, might be modern medicine's best option for fending off dangerous, drug-resistant bacterial infections.

British researchers at the University of Nottingham's School of Veterinary Medicine and Science are behind the discovery, which entails harnessing molecules from the tissues of cockroaches and locusts to combat bacteria like E. coli and MRSA (drug-resistant staph infections).

Sakchai Lalit, AP

Chemicals found in the brain and central nervous tissues of cockroaches are able to kill 90 percent of dangerous bacteria in lab-based tests.

The potent chemicals, found in the brain and central nervous tissues of the critters, are able to kill 90 percent of E. coli and MRSA in lab-based tests.

Miracle Baby Comes Back To Life After Being Dead For 2 HOURS... Way to BE A HERO, MOM! Mother Revives Dead Baby With Only Human Touch! POP SUPERHERO

WOMEN'S WEDNESDAY came a day early!
I know it's only Tuesday, but this is too good to wait.

HOW CAN YOU "BE A HERO" TODAY...
HUG THE ONE YOU'RE WITH...then read on pass it on.

Miracle Baby Comes Back To Life
After Being Dead For 2 HOURS...
Way to BE A HERO, MOM!

This is NOT some sensationalized headline used to make you look at web ads. This is a REAL MIRACLE. A Mother in Australia brought her 27 week old son, born prematurely, back to life by merely holding him against her skin for 2 hours. Doctors had declared the baby dead 2 hours before, and given him to his Mother simply for her to say goodbye.

What does this mean to us as a race? I think it means we do not value human touch enough, nor do we know enough about the effect of touch on the human condition. Yes, of course we know that being touched feels good. But, does it DO good for our body in more ways than we realize? I say YES!

Our tax dollars are used by our government every year in studies that we never hear about, and might not care about either. I hope some of the money goes to study human touch and it's effect on our present and future mental and physical health. I have SO many questions that only long term studies can truly answer, and only then to a small degree. We may never know the true value of the this free, yet priceless, gift we are all born with.

Do babies who are touched more go on to suffer less
mental and/or physical health issues in the future?

Do babies raised by a nanny get touched more, less or equal
to babies raised by their parents full-time?

Do babies who go to day care & pre-school get touched as much
as babies raised by their parents full-time?

Does touch by nannies, teachers and other children have
the same effect on our body and mind as touch by our parents?

809 Area Code Phone Scam

We actually received a call last
Week from the 809 area code.. The woman said 'Hey,
This is Karen . Sorry I missed you--get back to us
Quickly. I have something important to tell you.' Then
She repeated a phone number beginning with 809
We did not respond.
Then this week, we received the following e-mail:

DO NOT DIAL AREA CODE
809, 284, AND 876

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION
PROVIDED TO US BY AT&T.
DON'T EVER DIAL AREA CODE 809

This one is being distributed all over the US. This is
Pretty scary, especially given the way they try to get
You to call.

Be sure you read this and pass it on.

They get you to call by telling you that it is information about a family member who has been ill or to tell you someone has been arrested, died, or to let you know you have won a wonderful prize, etc…
In each case, you are told to call the 809 number right away. Since there are so many new area codes these days, people unknowingly return these calls.

If you call from the U.S. , you will apparently be
Charged $2425 per-minute.

Or, you'll get a long recorded message. The point is, they will try to keep you on the phone as long as possible to increase the charges.

WHY IT WORKS:

The 809 area code is located in the Dominican Republic ..
The charges afterward can become a real
Nightmare. That's because you did actually make the call. If you complain, both your local phone company and your long distance carrier will not want to get involved and will most likely tell you that they are simply providing the billing for the foreign company. You'll
End up dealing with a foreign company that argues they have done nothing wrong.

Please forward this entire message to your friends, family and colleagues to help them become aware of this scam.

CALL YOUR SENATORS: The Medical Device Safety Act (MDSA) would restore the rights of Americans who have suffered due to defective medical devices!

URGENT: CALL YOUR SENATORS AND REPRESENTATIVES

On Tuesday, March 31, 2009, victims harmed by dangerous medical devices and their families will be in Washington, DC, to meet with members of Congress about HR 1346/S 540, The Medical Device Safety Act (MDSA), legislation that would restore the rights of thousands of Americans who have suffered or even died because of defective medical devices, like heart defibrillators, artificial valves, and prosthetic knees and hips, to seek justice through the civil justice system.

Last year, the Supreme Court ruled in Riegel v. Medtronic that manufacturers of class III medical devices that have been approved by the FDA’s pre-market approval process are essentially immune from liability. The Riegel decision is the subject of the MDSA that would restore injured patients’ right to seek justice in the courts when medical devices have failed, and in some instances, have even been recalled. This legislation follows the Supreme Court’s decision earlier this year in Wyeth v. Levine that held federal law does not preempt state-law claims with regard to drug warning labels.

Please support their efforts by lighting up the switchboards on Capitol Hill today, March 31st, and ask Congress to support HR 1346/S 540,the Medical Device Safety Act.

We were in the studio working on a new album when my manager called me. She told me that a lawyer from Warner Bros (Warner Brothers) had called her wanting to speak to me. He had told her that they had put a band of superstars together for a band in the upcoming Harry Potter movie, and they were calling the band The Wyrd Sisters. There had been a band in the novel they were making the movie from called 'The Weird Sisters', but they thought wyrd was a cooler spelling. They were planning merchandise for the band, toys, recordings and possibly tours. " How can they do that? " I asked. I wasn't taking this call very seriously. We've had our fair share of strange calls over the years. I told our manager to have him put what he wanted in writing and to fax it to me. 

Trademark 101:

"...Trademark infringement may occur when one party uses a trademark which is identical or confusingly similar to a trademark owned by another party, in relation to products or services which are identical or similar to the products or services which the registration covers. An owner of a trademark may commence legal action against a party which infringes its registration...."

Laws can be as simple or complicated as you want to make them... or, if you have the time and money, want to bend them. Having said that, this is loosely the general premise of a trade mark:

If you have a business under a certain name, and you are the first to do business under that name in a certain area, then that trademark belongs to you for that area. It's called 'first usage'. If your product is global, then your trademark is global. Your trademark is applied to the product or service you provide. For instance, if you sell tires under the name of Flatt Tires, and you sell your tires worldwide, then no one else can sell tires under that name without your permission. Nor could they sell their tires under the name of Flat, Flott or Flitt. A trademark name for a product/service can not be too similar as it may cause confusion. You could possibly, however, sell Flatt Chicken, or Flatt Diapers. The products are not the same.

The Injunction

I had our lawyer communicate with Warner Bros. We tried to negotiate some kind of reasonable outcome for this blatant infringement of our trademark. They were not willing to negotiate at all. I was offended that not only did they believe that their wealth caused them to be immune from the law, but worse, that the sacred feminine name, the triple goddess- was being given to a band of male rockers. We chose the name to educate, to reclaim... People would ask: Who are the wyrd sisters? We'd answer: The wyrd sisters is the name of an ancient pre-christian deity who was above all all other gods. She was the maiden, the mother and the crone - the three phases of the moon, she who was, she who is, she who will be. The christians modeled the 'father, son and holy ghost' after her, shakespeare used her as his three witches in Macbeth. A form of this triple diety has existed in almost all human cultures.

The Media

Ahhh, now this is where the fairy tale ends and the nightmare begins...
An article was printed that contained a lot of misinformation. This article was picked up and reported, usually verbatim, worldwide. The article said that Warner Bros had offered us 50 thousand dollars. (No. It was 5 thousand...and a not-so-veiled threat .) The article quoted Radiohead as saying that we were ' a little band on a cash grab'. When we contacted radiohead they denied making this statement. The article was slanted to look like we just popped out of the woodwork to take advantage of the harry potter fame and Time Warner wealth. It was difficult to wrap our heads around how the media could be so irresponsible. The article was simply untrue, and it created an environment of public opinion which was very difficult to challenge and deal with. We learned that those who own the media can create their own reality. And who owns the media? Oh, but this was a very bad turn of events...

Court

Being lucky enough to never had to be in court before, we had a rather pedestrian vision of what court would look like. In essence, it would be: Gather your evidence. Present it to an impartial and unbiased judge. Recieve a fair and logical verdict. This is not what it was like. 

We had to gather evidence, and put something together called a 'factum' to go to court with. In a nutshell, what we generally needed to do was prove that there would be confusion created between their band and ours, and that their band could impact negatively on ours. For instance, we didn't want to show up at a performance to an audience of preteens expecting the Harry Potter band. Nor did we want to be seen as 'stealing' the name of the Harry Potter band as some kind of cheap publicity stunt. Our factum, affadavits and evidence were large. We had copies of interviews and articles, hard copy items like the question from the Scene It? game and numerous other related evidences. When our lawyers cross examined the wb lawyer, his cross read like this:
" When did you graduate school?"
wb: " I can't remember"
"When were you called to the bar?"
wb: " I can't remember."

To a court newbie like me, everything seemed nicely sewed up. It was simple, logical and linear. Court, however, was nothing like I was expecting. I had a sort of civilized 'Perry Mason' picture of court in my head. It was not like that at all. We had just a few hours to present our case. The judge, who had appointed himself to hear the case, announced at the start of our court appearance that he had not read our factum and evidence at all. He directed our lawyer 'to explain it'to him. He did not listen to much. Instead he shouted at and insulted our lawyer, cracked jokes at our expense, mugged for the press in the galley and roared statements that had been in the press and Warner evidence like ' Isn't this a publicity stunt by your clients?'. I was horrified. My lawyer didn't make much headway into our evidence at all. I'd watch him square his shoulders under his heavy robes after every rebuke and insult, widen his stance, say 'Yes, Your Honour...If You Please, Your Honour...', and try to make headway into a few more sentences. It was painful to watch, like watching some brute kick a puppy around the block. I couldn't understand why, if the judge had truly not read our evidence, he seemed so intent on not allowing my lawyer to present our case. During a break, a reporter asked me how I felt about our hearing. When I replied that I was feeling very victimized, he retorted: " What did you expect? Taking on a giant...pffft..." The sense all around was very strongly that I should have no expectation of equality when standing up to wealth. In fact, the sense was that I was stupid for being innocent enough to expect any differently.

Since Then... 

There has been a lot of courtroom shenanigans going on over the past couple of years. For instance, the original judge recused himself for bias and then reinserted himself to award costs against us. The costs were $140,000.00. That's a lot of coin and something I was not prepared for. Courts and lawyers are very expensive and I have blown all of my savings and remortgaged my home. Servers have showed up at my foster home with papers called 'Examination in aid of execution' and 'contempt of court' for me. WB came through a legal backdoor to Manitoba and put judgements on my property, even though we're appealing those costs in Ontario. My poor sister's house is one of the properties with a judgement against it.

Anti-Aging SuperfoodsBy MARY KEARLWant to ward off wrinkles? Boost your memory? Or keep your metabolism moving? A good place to start fighting off the signs of aging is your diet. Read on as nutritionists Bonnie Taub-Dix, MA,RD,CDN, National Spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association and co-author of "Kosher By Design Lightens Up" and Jonny Bowden, PhD, CNS and author of "The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth" and "Healthiest Meals on Earth" reveal the superfoods that can help you look and feel younger.

Olive Oil

What It Does: Prevents wrinkles

Want to stay wrinkle-free, or at least prevent further skin aging? A "Journal of American College of Nutrition" study found diets high in olive oil, as well as other staples of a Mediterranean diet (think fruits, vegetables, nuts, multigrain bread and legumes), to be associated with less skin aging.

What Else Helps? A study from the "American Journal of Clinical Nutrition" found that higher intakes of vitamin C and omega-6 fatty acids, which cooking oils, egg yolks and beef are good sources of, may help to keep skin looking young. Bowden notes that resveratrol, found in red wine and the skin of grapes, has wrinkle-reducing properties as well.

Sunflower Seeds

What They Do: Stave off grays

Your genes determine how old you'll be when you first start to go gray, but it often begins in your 20s, though some won't see a gray hair until their 40s, according to the American Academy of Dermatology. Taub-Dix explains that loss of hair color is due to a decline in melanin production and that may be the result of a copper deficiency. Eating foods that are high in copper, like sunflower seeds, could be beneficial.

What Else Helps? Crabs, oysters, cashews and almonds are also high in copper. Vitamin B6, found in whole grain cereals and many vegetables, may help by boosting melanin production.

Tofu

What It Does: Thickens thinning hair

Over 30 percent of men under the age of 35 and one quarter of women will experience thinning hair in the United States, says Taub-Dix, noting that heredity, illness, poor diet and medications are the most common causes. However, biotin, which is generally found in soy products, as well as liver and eggs, can promote hair re-growth.

What Else Helps? A complete multivitamin, which will give you a dose of several nutrients that protect against thinning, including vitamins A, B3, B5, B6, B12, C, E, calcium, magnesium and potassium.

Blueberries

What They Do: Fight memory loss

Even as early as your 20s, you can begin to see changes in your memory, Taub-Dix says, so there's no time like the present to begin safeguarding it. Your best dietary bets? "Blueberries are terrific for your memory. Particularly the anthocianin compounds that gives blueberries their deep hue."

Added Bonus: Anthocianins may also protect against some aging-related diseases and cancers.

Salmon

What It Does: Keeps your heart healthy

Foods like salmon that are high in omega-3 fatty acids may help lower your risk of heart attack and have been shown to lower blood pressure, plaque build-up in the arteries, triglyceride levels and cholesterol. Aim to eat about three fish-based meals a week, recommends Taub-Dix.

Added Bonus: Omega-3 fatty acids, also found walnuts, flaxseed, soybeans, avocados and olive oil, "help to reduce inflammation and are associated with promoting brain function," says Taub-Dix.

Hot Peppers

What They Do: Rev up your metabolism

It's a fact of life that as you age your metabolism gets sluggish, but adding some spice to your diet will help to keep your body burning, says Taub-Dix. Spicy foods like cayenne and jalapeño peppers contain capsaicin, which can speed up calorie burn by raising your heart rate.

What Else Helps? Caffeine, found in coffee and green tea, can affect your metabolism by increasing heart rate as well. To avoid disturbed sleep, jitteriness or an upset stomach, monitor your caffeine intake and its affect on your body -- even one cup of coffee a day could be too much for someone who is caffeine-sensitive.

Lean Protein

What It Does: Maintains muscle

A known side effect of aging, muscle loss, can be reduced by eating enough protein. "Protein consists of amino acids, which are the building blocks of muscle; therefore, an adequate daily intake helps maintain, repair and build muscle," says Taub-Dix. "Without enough protein, you can't build muscle -- no matter how much exercise you do." Eggs, chicken, fish and lean cuts of beef, such as flank steak, are good sources.

Added Bonus: "Protein is also a key component in maintaining a healthy immune system, and in the creation of hormones, skin, hair, nails, blood and enzymes," says Taub-Dix.

Water

What It Does: Hydrates Your Skin

With age, our skin produces less oil and loses its elasticity. To fight off the effects of dehydration, "It's very important to drink plenty of water and try to limit caffeine and alcoholic beverages, which can enhance dehydration," Taub-Dix says. How much fluid a person needs depends on a variety of factors, such as physical activity and climate, but eight glasses a day is a good amount to aim for.

What Else Helps? When applied topically to your skin, honey can be a natural dry skin remedy. Coconut oil and cocoa butter oil are good for moisturizing skin as well. Look for moisturizerswith these ingredients, advises Taub-Dix.

Carrots

What They Do: Protect Your Eyes

The most common cause of vision loss in people over 50 is age-related macular degeneration (AMD). But eating carrots, which are filled with beta carotene, can help stave off AMD, says Taub-Dix. So start munching: The earlier you begin eating beta-carotene rich foods the better.

What Else Helps? Foods that are high in vitamin C and E and zinc, such as spinach and beef, have eye-protecting properties as well, according to Bowden.

Apples

What They Do: Reduce Your Risk of Cancer

Bowden recommends eating foods high in quercetin, a nutrient found in apples and onions that has been shown to help fight cancer. Quercetin is also an anti-inflammatory and has antioxidant properties.

What Else Helps? A diet high in fruits and veggies has been shown to reduce the risk of certain cancers. Research has found that cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, cauliflower and kale, are particularly helpful in protecting against cancer.
