Edible bamboo shoots, zhú sǔn (竹笋) or simply sǔn (笋), fall into two broad categories: winter and spring shoots. Spring shoots are larger and a bit tougher than winter shoots.
Research at several American universities is documenting the longevity-promoting effects of pterostilobene [tero still bin] similar to resveratrol. It reduces cholesterol, triglycerides, high blood sugar reducing hypertension and diabetes.
Something big and positive is happening in India. Women around the world are speaking their minds, demanding rights and respect. The medical profession needs to listen, especially to those who mistrust medical norms. Here is my first of my columns at Economic Times World Health.
I have turned around the flu, brought fever down from 101 to 98 in 3 days using Chinese herbs that improve breathing and energy, kill germs, clear lung phlegm and are safe, non-addictive, non-chemical, vegetarian and available online and in Chinese herb shops.

Enjoyed together, and in moderation, red wine and chocolate can make any meal seem extra special, especially one that is made with love.
Eating a soft, juicy, bright-colored persimmon, letting the soothing flavor and smooth texture slide down your throat to sweeten the center of your being almost makes winter bearable. Some people, holding a persimmon, wolf it down in gulps. I prefer cutting it daintily with knife and fork.
