A team of researchers from the University of Wisconsin has found that compounds in purple grape juice may help fight narrowing of the arteries, or atherosclerosis, in three ways-by increasing the flexibility of the arteries, by slowing down oxidation of `bad' cholesterol and by reducing the like lihood of blood clots forming. When your heart beats faster, because of exercise or stress, D the blood vessels must expand to accommodate the increased blood flow. But in people with coronary artery disease, the elasticity of blood vessels can be impaired. Restricted blood vessels can lead to a heart attack or stroke. In a recently-published study involving 15 men and women who had some degree of coronary artery disease, the flexibility of blood vessels tripled after drinking 7 ml of pur ple grape juice/kg. body weight daily (about two 8 oz. glasses per day for a 160 lb. person) for two weeks. Another way blood vessels become restricted is from the build up of plaque deposits. Researchers know that the oxidation of LDL choles terol is an important step in the formation of plaque. But in the same study, after two weeks of drinking purple grape juice daily, the rate of oxidation was reduced by 34 per cent. Many fruits and vegetables naturally contain several antioxidant components, including vitamins E and C, carotene and flavonoids. As well as providing protection against heart disease, these antioxidants are believed to play a role in protection from some cancers.

Thanks to Hypnosis, I 'm Slender for Life!" By: Josephine Hageman Most people think that older folks can't lose weight. That we somehow stop car ing about how we ! look Or that grand| mas should be fa t I and happy. It simply isn't true. I had been overweight fo r 30 years. I was iunhealthy, unhappy and downright mis erable about my weight. Until I was hypnotized and lost five dress sizes. If I can lose weight at 72, you can do it too! This is my true " Q ueen o f the Y o -Y o " desire to eat the rest of the food on my plate. 1 was amazed. In one short week I had a whole attitude change. When I first came to Positive Changes, I des perately wanted to lose 40 lbs. Now that I have taken off 51 lbs. in nine easy months -- and now that my dress size has plunged from a plump 24 to a lean 14 -- I'm certain that my weight problem is gone for good. I'm no longer obsessed with food. I no longer eat between meals. I no longer crave breads, starches or soda. I enjoy eating my healthy foods. There is something about fresh foods that I find incredibly appealing. " S im p l e and "I was unhealthy, unhappy, and downright miserable about my weight." Josephine H agem an B efore H ypnosis story. At 72 years of age, I lost 51 lbs. using hyp nosis. My name is Josephine. My husband, Len, and I recently celebrated our 50th wed ding anniversary. 1 am a retired substitute teacher and housewife. One day a friend asked me what I thought about Positive Changes Hypnosis. I said. 'To lose weight? That sounds suspicious to me." After that I began to wonder, could there be something to hypnosis? I began reading the feature stories in the newspaper. Still, I was leery. It seemed too good to be true. My eating habits were compulsive. I ate when I was happy, sad. excited, bored, or just because the food was within reach. I was always snacking between meals. I'd munch an entire container of hard pretzels between lunch and dinner. I couldn't stop. Even though it gave me horrible heartburn. Dieting had been my life story. I was the queen of the yo-yo diet. Lose and gain, lose and gain, over and over. I had crazy cravings too. Especially breads, starches and soda pop. It was uncontrollable. With every diet, my cravings got worse. I had good reason to be skeptical. I looked at the Positive Changes' ads for months. I asked everyone 1 knew what they thought about hypnosis. 1 even asked our parish priest. He said, "Oh, go ahead, hypnosis is nothing to fear." Len and I were impressed with Positive Changes from the moment we walked through the door. Our consultant, promised to tell me if I was not a good candidate for hypnosis. She explained how hypnosis works. Why hypnosis is safe. Why I could lose weight without diet ing. She answered every question Len and I asked. Best of all. she never pressured me. She never asked me to buy anything. After such a wonderful first impression, Len and I agreed. I should give hypnosis a try. " A m a zin g R esults " I no longer use antacids. All my horrible reflux is gone. I haven't had any sinus trouble. 1 have no pain. 1 don't even feel my arthritis. My skin problems cleared up. I'm not one bit self-conscious. I'm full of energy, youthful and carefree. As the saying goes, God doesn't make junk. Hypnosis gave me confidence in me. " H ey , S k in n y !" Folks never used to pay much attention to me. I think overweight people have a prejudice hanging over their heads. It's sad to say. but it's tree. People have a different attitude towards me now that I'm thin. I'm not carrying all that excess baggage around. I've learned a new style of eating and living. My husband start- ."/ / / can lose weight at 72, you can d n iU t tm n u n .t " UU E asy !' At first I thought the hypnosis wasn't work ing. Then all of sudden, when I looked down at my plate. I couldn't eat any more. 1 had no Friends are always asking me. 'How does h y p n o sis work?' It's simple. My hypnotist gave me suggestions to relax and get comfortable. She told me that I would eat only when 1 was hun gry. I would stop eating when 1 was full That's exactly what I did. I sur prised myself. I automati cally stopped eating. I was no longer hungry between meals. Honest to goodness, it was that easy. " Y o u th fu l and C a r e fr e e " I'm a 72-vear-voung lady thanks to Positive Changes Hypnosis. So here's how I see it.
