1. Include in your diet unrefined sunflower pumpkin and sesame seeds, plus walnut and Brazil nuts for healthy brain, arteries and skin.

2. Eat liver and kidney, cabbage and sardines for acetylcholine, a vital brain nutrient often lacking in Alzheimer’s patients.

3. Add sage to cooking to improve your memory. It inhibits an enzyme that breaks down acetylcholine and has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. (Note: Avoid if you are pregnant.)

4. Relax with exercise, meditation or massage. Stress produces the hormone cortisol, which can damage the brain.

5. Do simple mental exercises such as a daily crossword to keep the brain active and improve brain function.

6. Eat salmon, sardines, mackerel and herring twice a week for healthy omega-3 fats to nourish nerve fibers and improve brain function.

7. Use a wobble board to improve balance and strengthen muscles around the joints, leaving them supple and healthy and to make you feel younger.

8. Don’t blame your genes. Genetic make-up may give a predisposition to certain conditions, but lifestyle and diet can minimize chances of certain genes ‘switching on’.

9. Spend one hour of every day in direct daylight— or use full spectrum light bulbs to improve mood and reduce winter blues.

10. Laugh more. Laughing aids your immune system, burns calories, exercises the lungs and releases pent-up tension.

11. Go to bed early. The two hours before midnight are the most beneficial in terms of anti-ageing as our systems arid adrenal glands recover then.

12. Eat more lettuce at night because It contains a natural sedative, called lactucarlum, that can help promote deeper sleep.

13. Think positive. Yale University scientists have found that people who are positive and adaptable have happier, more fulfilled lives, and on average live eight years longer than those with a pessimistic outlook.

14. Rub essential oil of basil and/or rosemary diluted in almond oil into your scalp to increase circulation to the scalp, clear the mind and improve concentration.

15. Eat spicy foods as they produce endorphins to lift your mood. Turmeric is highly anti-carcinogenic.

16. Take a walk in the sunshine. Exercise and sunlight release endorphins, that are natural anti-depressants, as well as the feel-good, hormone serotonin.

17. Don’t worry. Most of the things we fear never happen — and worrying ages you.

18. Learn how to meditate. Proponents of the art believe that, when you attain total stillness within, linear time stops. In other words, meditating can actually help you slow down the ageing process.

19. If you don’t want to meditate, sitting quietly for ten minutes will help.

20. Think young. Tell yourself that you’re years younger, and also act and dress younger. You will begin to feel and look younger, too.

21. Know how to handle stress. Cortisol and adrenaline are the natural ‘fight or flight’ hormones but a build-up may cause conditions from heart attacks to stomach ulcers.

22. Replace mercury fillings. Mercury can trigger memory loss and symptoms that mimic senile dementia.

23. Have prunes, raisins, blackberries, figs, apricots, apples, carrots and green vegetables to absorb excess free radicals responsible for most of the signs of ageing.

24. Investigate live cell therapy. Shark, sheep or bovine embryos that are injected into humans are said to rejuvenate older cells. After four to six weeks, patients say their memory has improved, joints no longer ache and skin looks fresher.

25. Strong winds can cause veins. Use thick protective cream when outdoors.

26. Take a detox bath. Airline flights and computers subject the body to radiation. A warm bath with one lb (1/2 kilo) of epsom salts counteracts these damaging effects.

----------------------------
FACE

27. You can strengthen your eye muscles by exercising them. Hold your thumb at arm's length and move it in circles and figure eights, both closer and further away, following it with your eyes the whole time.

28. Facial acupuncture helps eradicate dark circles under your eyes, whether they're hereditary or because of lack of sleep.

29. Hearing loss needn't be a natural consequence of ageing. Protect your hearing by wearing disposable earplugs when using power tools or lawnmowers.

30. If your hearing is fading, take a ginko biloba supplement to increase circulation to the head.

31. Celery-seed extract aids drainage of excess water from your body, so helps reduce puffiness in eyes or face. Take a supplement of 500mg twice daily.

32. If you think you may be losing your sense of taste or smell, take a zinc supplement daily.

33. Deficiency of potassium sulphate can also cause loss of taste and smell. If you suspect this might be a problem, take a daily supplement.

-----------------------------------

34. Drink water A baby’s body is over 75 per cent water but by the age of 65, we’re just 55 per cent water. Water keeps skin hydrated and improves cell function.

35. Tap water and most bottled waters have chemicals and minerals. These are not necessary beneficial as they are inorganic and our body can only use organic minerals (from plants). For 99.99 per cent pure water, get RODI (reverse osmosis de-ionized) water, either from a supermarket or from a plumbed-in unit

36. Drink green tea for powerful antioxidant properties that neutralize excess free radicals.

37. Increase your exposure to oxygen. Consider ozone therapy — a treatment that floods the body with oxygen, that is said to inactivate viruses and stimulate Immune function.

38. Vitamin C is great for building collagen but cannot be stored in the body. It is most effective when taken with food in several small doses during the day – or in sustained release form capsules/tablets.

39. Don’t have milk in tea. Both green tee and black tea contain antioxidants, but their effect is neutralized by adding milk.

40. Cut down on excessive sun exposure — it triggers oxidative damage that contributes to wrinkled skin and can help to cause age spots.

41. Take antioxidant supplements (ACES – Vitamins A, C, E and selenium).

42. Take Carnosine daily. It is a naturally occurring compound in the body and can also be found in red meat and chicken. It extends cell life and regenerates the skin.

43. Use a pH-balanced soap. Skin is slightly acid, which helps repel bacteria and pollution. Many soaps are alkaline and can neutralize the skin’s acidity, reducing its resistance to infection and damage.

44. Remember oils and creams do penetrate the skin — the average woman absorbs 2 kilos of ingredients from them every year. So opt for organic skin products – or better yet, use foods like olive oil and flaxseed oil. If you can eat it, it’s safe to put on your skin.

45. Exfoliate skin regularly for a fresher look.

46. Sleep on your back to reduce wrinkles on face and chest.

47. Take echinacea supplements — on a two-weeks on, one-week off basis to boost your immune system.

48. Apply moisturizers to slightly damp skin to increase their penetrating and hydrating effects.

49. Reduce any sun damage by a cream like Jurlique’s Calendula C cream. Calendula reduces inflammation and nourishes skin.

50. Avoid synthetic fabrics. They stop your skin breathing properly, so your body retains toxins.

51. Breathe deeply through your nose to use your lungs to their greatest capacity. increase your oxygen Intake and promote easier digestion.

52. Put your hands on your lower abdomen and watch them raise and lower as you breathe in and out. This re-alkalizes your system, expands the lower lungs and re-energizes the body.

53. Ability to take a really lung-filling breath declines with age. Minimize this decline with exercise and singing.

54. Watch your weight. Excess weight puts a strain on almost every organ in your body, stressing the skeleton and the circulatory system and reducing your life expectancy.

55. Invest in a purifier to rid the air inside your home of toxins such as monoxide, nitrogen dioxide and benzene vapor – all of which can be more damaging to the body than outdoor pollution.

56. Keep indoor plants. They remove carbon dioxide from the air and increase the levels of oxygen in your home.

57. Stop smoking. Every cigarette you smoke takes 15 minutes off your life, ages your skin and robs you of vital nutrients — so don’t light up.

58. Cut back on sugar in all forms. Sugars contribute to obesity and diabetes, trigger inflammation, and age the skin and brain.

59. If you find it hard to cut sugar from your diet, start supplements of chromium - 2OOmcg a day should help reduce cravings (but give it time – at least 2 months). Chromium is also believed to reduce the incidence of late onset diabetes.

60. To boost your circulation, use a body brush regularly. Circulation becomes less efficient with age and means less oxygen and fewer nutrients are delivered to cells, leading to leg ulcers, cold hands and feet, and memory loss.

61. Take a magnesium supplement every day to relax constricted arteries and so reduce the risk of stroke.

62. Cut down on sodium-based salt. It dehydrates the skin, causing it to wrinkle prematurely, and can also contribute to high blood pressure and hardened arteries. Try replacing it with magnesium (most minerals taste salty and we don’t get enough magnesium any more).

63. Instead of using salt, chop a seaweed, such as kelp, over your meals.

64. Improve circulation to your head with a regular head massage. The health of your hair is dependent on circulation to the scalp. (Men and some women lose hair on the top of their head, where blood flow is reduced in comparison to the sides.)

65. Take regular exercise to boost circulation. Also, eat more foods containing Vitamin E (such avocado) that help to thin blood naturally.

66. To avoid varicose veins, ensure you maintain good circulation in your legs. Don’t cross your legs.

67. If you have been on your feet all day, lie on the floor and place your lower legs on a chair or bed for 15 minutes. This rests the valves in the blood vessels and encourages absorption of excess fluid.

68. If you spend most of the day sitting at a desk, make an effort to take regular breaks — try once every hour, if only for a few minutes — and use them to be active.

69. The body requires essential sugars for the immune cells to function at their optimum level. Most fruit and vegetables that we eat are picked before they are ripe and before the essential sugars have developed. Go out of your way to find "ripe-picked" vegetables and fruit.

70. Maintain a good acid-alkaline balance. Cells function best when alkaline, and ideally our bodies should be 70 per cent alkaline and 30 per cent acid. However, the average person is 80 per cent acid and 20 per cent alkaline, so most people need alkalizing foods such as honey, watercress, carrots and celery.

71. Look after your liver and bowels. Anyone with CFS (ME in the UK) or chronic exhaustion has a liver and bowels overloaded with toxins. Once they clean up their diet for a month, improvements start to be noted. Take psyllium husks or whole linseeds daily – start with ¼ teaspoon and work very slowly up to two tablespoons daily.

72. Have a glass of good red wine or red grape juice daily. The antioxidant polyphenols counteract some ageing processes.

--------------------------
BONES, TEETH AND NAILS

73. Avoid refined carbohydrates such as white bread and pizza, which are acid-forming. Osteoarthritis and diseases of ageing are linked to an excess of such foods.

74. Massage your nails regularly with jojoba, olive or almond oil. Along with a good diet, this will keep them looking young and healthy.

75. Sit in the sun for 15-30 minutes a day to build up a supply of Vitamin D.

76. Over time, teeth get worn away and gums recede – regular cleaning and flossing will keep them healthier.

77. Avoid concentrated fruit juices. Their sugar content can weaken enamel and allow bacteria to enter the teeth.

78. Eat Thai food. It has lemon grass, coriander and garlic, all great for bones and teeth.

79. Build muscle. Ratio of lean muscle to fat is an indicator of age. In our 30s we lose an average of 300g of muscle tissue a year. Exercise using weights increases muscle and strengthens bones.

------------------------

80. To avoid hangovers, take 500mg of GLA (gamma linoleic acid, the main ingredient in evening primrose oil), one gram of vitamin C, a B complex, plus a milk thistle supplement with a full glass of water before you go out.

81. If you have to take a painkiller, avoid too many paracetamol tablets. They are bad for the kidneys. If you are taking painkillers regularly, switch around between the different types on a weekly basis.

82. Look after your liver. Your liver detoxifies the body. If it cannot do so effectively, this can contribute to making your skin look prematurely old.

83. Good portions of broccoli, globe artichokes, cauliflower and radishes all cleanse and support the liver.

84. If you go out drinking, try to be in bed before 1am. Chinese medicine says the liver detoxes between 1am and 3am and is most efficient when you’re lying down.

85. If you feel hungover when you haven’t been drinking, try a liver cleanse (seek doctor s advice first). Mix 6tbsp lemon juice, 3tbsp olive oil, 1 small garlic clove, a pinch of ginger, a pinch of cayenne pepper — whisk in a blender and drink immediately Do not eat for at least an hour afterwards.

86. Eat raw or lightly cooked vegetables. They are higher in anti-ageing vitamins and minerals.

87 Take an acidophilus/bifidus supplement. These bacteria maintain a healthy gut.

88. A little of what you fancy is good for you. There’s no point in living longer if you don’t enjoy life. (There’s a saying: eat carefully, exercise: die anyway.)

89. In the West the average person eats 40 per cent more food than they need. Eating less places less strain on the digestive system and liver.

90. Serve your meals on smaller plates — your brain will still see a full plate of food. (As you age, you tend to eat less anyway, of course.)

91. Avoid junk food because it contains very few nutrients and is high in sugar, salt and fat.

92. Avoid eating last thing at night. This places an extra burden on the digestive system. If you need to, because of blood sugar fluctuations, eat a very small high-protein snack.

93. Avoid drinking too much with your meals because this dilutes the stomach acid needed to digest your meal.

94. If you have fluctuating blood sugar, snack. Try to eat a small, balanced meal every two or three hours. (This does not cure the problem, but it helps with the symptoms.)

95. Improve levels of stomach acid by taking two teaspoons of apple cider vinegar and a teaspoon of honey in a glass of warm water about an hour before each meal.

96. Swap your regular honey for Manuka honey; it can help heal the stomach and strengthen the immune system.

97. Fiber in your diet is essential for healthy bowels. Try rice and oat bran instead of wheat bran.

98. Detoxing is a great anti-ager. Eliminating foods containing flour, sugar, caffeine and dairy for just one week will greatly help to cleanse your system.

99. Use fresh coriander over salads to remove toxic metals (that damage cells) from the body.

100. Know the consequences of the way you live. If you live on coffee, burgers, alcohol end cigarettes, you’ll accelerate your ageing.

Editorial Reviews

Often cited as one of the most innovative and influential rock musicians, guitar legend Jimi Hendrix had a short and turbulent life, succumbing early, as did many other rock icons of his generation, to pressures generated by the conflicts between their creative visions and the economic imperatives of the music industry. He died of an overdose in 1970 at the age of 27. This collaborative tribute to Hendrix, described by one of its creators as "not so much outright biography as speculative fantasy," explores the excitement and the pitfalls of rock stardom sympathetically and perceptively. Lavishly and beautifully illustrated by Sienkiewicz (Electra: Assassin), this draws on the layout and narrative style of comic books to recreate Hendrix's life in a more impressionistic manner than standard bios typically permit. Much of the text is drawn from Hendrix's own letters, poetry and lyrics; also included is a CD collecting seven previously unreleased tracks written and performed by Hendrix. Given his legacy of musical innovation, Hendrix seems a particularly fitting subject for this kind of experimental biographical format, and the numerous contributors who put this together realize their dream-like vision of Hendrix masterfully. 100,000 first printing.

From Booklist
This is a graphic docudrama, an account in comic-strip format of the turbulent life of rock star Jimi Hendrix. Like a cinematic docudrama, it hews to the events of Hendrix's career but creates dialogue and uses various devices--notably, snippets of Hendrix's lyrics as commentary on the action at appropriate moments--to heighten the drama of the guitarist's colorful life. Unfortunately, the events themselves are overly familar to most rock fans, and their treatment here generally falls into rock-star cliches. The banality of much of the imagined dialogue, which frequently lapses into sixties-speak ("Far out," "Dig it man" ), doesn't help. The project is saved, however, because it marks the return to comics of one of the medium's most innovative artists, Bill Sienkiewicz, who's been largely absent from the field for several years. His imaginative, evocative full-color illustrations and narrative mastery supply much-needed substance that turns a rock-bio-in-comics into a genuinely compelling package. Hendrix fans especially will also appreciate the accompanying 30-minute CD of previously unreleased home recordings.

Gustav Klimt (July 14, 1862 – February 6, 1918) was an Austrian Symbolist painter and one of the most prominent members of the Vienna Art Nouveau (Vienna Secession) movement. His major works include paintings, murals, sketches and other art objects, many of which are on display in the Vienna Secession gallery. Klimt's primary subject was the female body,[1] and his works are marked by a frank eroticism--nowhere is this more apparent than in his numerous drawings in pencil (see Mulher sentada, below). These female subjects, whether formal portraits or indolent nudes, invariably display a highly sensitized fin de siècle elegance.

Elektra Natchios, usually known only by her first name Elektra, is a fictional character in publications from Marvel Comics. Created by Frank Miller, the character first appeared in Daredevil #168 (January 1981).

Elektra is a ninja and assassin who wields two bladed sai as her trademark weapon. She is a love interest of the superhero Daredevil, but her violent nature and mercenary lifestyle divides the two. She is one of Frank Miller's best-loved creations, and subsequent writers' use of her is controversial as Marvel had originally promised to not resurrect the character without Miller's permission.[1] She has also appeared as a supporting character of the X-Men's Wolverine.

She is named after Electra, daughter of Agamemnon of Mycenae and Clytemnestra of Sparta.

Description:
Judgement on Gotham, published by DC Comics and Fleetway in 1991, is the first of four Batman/Judge Dredd crossovers. It was written by John Wagner and Alan Grant, with art by Simon Bisley.

Synopsis
The story opens in Gotham City where a trysting couple are slain by a ghoulish creature calling itself Judge Death. Two police officers arrive on the scene, only for Judge Death to murder the first. He is prevented from murdering the second by the arrival of Batman, who unintentionally impales him on a fence. Death recovers but is then burnt to ashes by some inflamed gasoline. Judge Death flees in spirit form.

Batman then finds a strange device which he accidentally activates. It is a dimension-jump belt that allowed Judge Death to reach Gotham. Batman rematerializes in Death's place of origin, Mega-City One, and is confronted by Mean Machine Angel, who claims that he and Death were supposed to be partners.

Mean Machine has a dial on his head which gives him various nasty moods ranging from surly to brutal. He turns his dial to 2, which makes him literally mean, and attempts to butt Batman, only to fall off the edge of the building. Pushed by his moral code not to allow any death or killing, Batman saves Mean Machine who resents this and fights back, insisting nobody saves him unless he asks them to.

At that point they are confronted by Judge Dredd, law-enforcer of Mega-City One. Mean Machine flees to Gotham using the dimension-jump belt. There he head-butts the surviving police officer who confronted Judge Death and wanders off into the city looking for his erstwhile "partner".

Back in Mega-City One, Dredd tells Batman to put on a set of handcuffs. When Batman tells him the cuffs are unnecessary, Dredd knocks him unconscious with his nightstick, cuffs him and takes him in for questioning.

Meanwhile, in Gotham, Batman' enemy, the Scarecrow, and an assistant break into the City Morgue to steal the raw materials for fear-toxin that will make people face their worst nightmare. Judge Death floats into the morgue looking for a new body, only to be startled by the Scarecrow. As the Scarecrow gloats over having scared a ghost, Judge Death enters his mind and finds a kindred spirit (of sorts) in the twisted sociopath. Being promised a feast of fear in exchange, the Scarecrow becomes partners with Judge Death.

In Mega-City One, Dredd piles up the list of unintended offences caused by Batman and the years of prison-time that he is to serve. The Dark Knight's claims that it is all due to circumstances beyond his control is irrelevant. "Is there any chance I could speak to someone with a little intelligence?" snorts the frustrated Batman. At that moment telepath Psi-Judge Anderson enters asking "Somebody lookin' for me?", showing her own opinion of her colleague Judge Dredd.

Anderson scans Batman's mind and tells him about Judge Death. She decides that they ought to go to Gotham in order to deal with Death and she'll need Batman, who knows the time and place well. This idea is blocked by the by-the-book Dredd who, though he accepts that Batman is from another dimension, insists that it makes no difference: "the creep broke the law, he's doing time", which is a twenty-year sentence. He also states that Gotham is beyond their jurisdiction and that they'll need to refer to higher authority before dealing with Mean Machine and Judge Death.

This attitude infuriates Batman who is now fully aware what is loose in his city. He snaps his bonds and punches Dredd to the floor, kicking him in the gut before Dredd kicks him back and Batman is subdued by several other Judges.

In Gotham City, the fearsomely evil Judge Death is restored and clad in a semblance of his former uniform. After killing the Scarecrow's henchman, he attempts to turn on the Scarecrow himself only to be stopped by a dose of Fear-o-sol which exposes him to his greatest fears: fluffy bunnies, My Little Ponies and other cutesy characters.

Awakening from it, he promises to obey the Scarecrow, who leads him to a heavy metal concert featuring a band called Living Death. Meanwhile, Mean Machine demolishes a bar and is directed to the same concert.

Anderson resolves to break all the rules in order to re-capture Death as soon as possible. She attacks her own colleagues and breaks Batman out of custody. They then dimension-jump into Gotham City. A furious Dredd calls for them to be stopped and then goes to Gotham himself.

In Gotham, Judge Death slaughters the heavy metal band and prepares to extend his work from there only to be interrupted by Mean Machine who still wants revenge for the double-cross. Batman, Anderson and Dredd then appear on the scene. In the battle that follows, Death is on the verge of actually killing Dredd when Batman uses a batarang to destroy his physical body while Anderson imprisons his spirit in her mind. Mean Machine, whose dial got stuck on 4 1/2 (Uncontrollable Butt Frenzy) during the fight, is subdued.

Dredd prepares to take Anderson and Mean Machine back to Mega-City One. He also insists that Batman come along to complete his "sentence" even though the Dark Knight saved his life. They are close to coming to blows when Anderson insists that there is no time to waste. She may have Death trapped inside her but if she does not get him into a secure unit that will hold him she will not "answer for what happens". Dredd grudgingly agrees to drop the charges and leave. Batman takes care of Scarecrow.

As they are about to depart, Dredd admits that Batman is a "bit of a tough guy", implying some growing respect.
