Alternative health for organs

I'm always looking for healthy natural ways to Prevent illness and stay healthy.  It's vitally important to keep your Brain, Heart and Lungs healthy.  Here are some natural ways to protect these organs, shared by Dr. Andrew Weil. 

Brain Health
Black Cod (butterfish, sable fish) – Brain health
Blueberries – Brain health (antioxidants)
L-Carnitine & Alpha Lipoic Acid (supplement) – Protects brain cells (turns on growth factor in brain)

Cool at Low temperature – steaming is much healthier
At high heat molecules change and your body responds differently to it

Lung Health
Eat Beta carotene rich foods (carotinoids)-  Squash, carrots, sweet potatoes, oranges, mangoes, melon etc.  Also in dark leafy greens.  (
Zhu Ling (supplement) – medicinal mushroom from China. Non-toxic useful for lung disease, slows down lung cancer, and helpful with any lung issues.
HEPA filter – clean the air you breath

Heart Health
Garlic – super herb, lowers blood pleasure, lowers cholesterol, powerful infection fighter.   Fresh raw is best.  
CoQ10 – (take it with fat in soft gel) Natural compound made in the body, increases oxygen in cells.
