Ferragamo Villa
When you think of Ferragamo you may think of beautiful shoes, handbags and clothing. Think again with real estate, the family restored an entire town in Tuscany 30 miles southeast of Florence. The Ferragamo family appropriately appointed the partriach's namesake and grandson, 29 year old Salvatore, schooled in New York and has a business degree from New York University to oversee the project . The family purchased 1,700 acres filled with olive trees, chianti grapes, and horse stables, with run down turn of the century villas. The family created their own winery. As well as ten buildings and a 56 room villa for the family. This magnificent accomplishment deserves more attention. I will be making a trip to Tuscany in June and will be sure to make a visit to this paradise

Pomegranates grow wild from Iran to northern India, but they are cultivated throughout India, the Middle East, southern Europe and California. Scientists in Israel have been conducting research on the health benefits of pomegranates and pomegranate juice for years, and now others have joined in.
What are pomegranates good for? Researchers report that they are rich in antioxidants that can keep bad LDL cholesterol from oxidizing (American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, May 2000). This degradation of LDL seems to be an initial step in the development of atherosclerosis. In addition, pomegranate juice, like aspirin, can help keep blood platelets from clumping together to form unwanted clots.
Does this make any difference clinically? More recent research has found that eight ounces of pomegranate juice daily for three months improved the amount of oxygen getting to the heart muscle of patients with coronary heart disease (American Journal of the College of Cardiology, Sept. 2005). Other researchers report that long-term consumption of pomegranate juice may help combat erectile dysfunction (Journal of Urology, July 2005).
Investigators are also excited about the possibility that pomegranate compounds might prevent prostate cancer or slow its growth. In mice, treatment with pomegranate extract delayed the development of tumors and improved survival (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Sept. 26, 2005). Other research reports suggest that pomegranate juice might help reduce the risk of breast cancer.
