Shades of blue, for example, are restful and can be used to help lower blood pressure, improve sleep and to reduce pain perception. In contrast, exposure to red light tends to have opposite effect and can cause raised blood pressure and feelings of stress as it triggers release of adrenaline.

Correct use of colors can bring in right atomsphere and even attitude to your life and work.

Here are some of colors and their uses: The color YELLOW stimulates our minds. It is a great color for study room. The color BLUE is calming, relaxing and soothing. It is a great color for bedroom The color WHITE represents emptiness, space and cleaniness. It is a great color for bathroom. Never use it for study room.

In summary, Color Therapy does has an effect on a person's thought, attitude and even health. Correct usage of colors can bring even peace to your everyday life.

Garlic is also rich in selenium, cancer-fighting mineral, and in sulfur, which supports detoxification process. Several studies have shown that carcinogenic chemicals are detoxified more efficiently throughout body when garlic is added to mix. It also helps control production of free radicals, which have been strongly implicated as a cause of cancer.

Can Garlic Prevent "Senior Moments?"

One interesting study in journal Experimental Gerontology described effects of garlic extract on learning and memory impairment in aging mice. Mice specially bred to age more rapidly than their normal counterparts were used.

About half of mice were fed a 2 percent garlic diet for eight to nine months. It was found that garlic-supplemented mice better retained their ability to learn and remember than their counterparts who didn't consume garlic. I believe that everyone can benefit from adding garlic to their diets. Cook with it whenever you can. Fresh and powdered are both beneficial. I also recommend you take supplemental garlic. The aged garlic extracts, containing at least 0.6 percent allium, have been most thoroughly studied.
