“Discovery Channel is thrilled to premiere the groundbreaking new series Human Body: Pushing the Limits, which brings together extraordinary computer imagery and amazing real-world stories to reveal how our bodies perform when pushed to the max. From mountain climbing, martial arts and desperate rescues to medical breakthroughs and professional sports, here are the tales of the incredible power and performance of the amazing body we call our own.

Episode 1: “SIGHT”

Sight is the king of the senses. More than 80 percent of what we know of the world comes through our eyes - without our sight we’re lost. In this episode, we reveal the inner workings of our visual system as they’ve never been seen before, vividly confirming that ancient human adaptations prove no less crucial in modern life. The astounding hidden powers in our eyes are brought to life by true stories including:

• A patrolman relies on the power of sight as he risks his life in a high-speed chase of a murder suspect.
• A firefighter crawls through thick smoke in a burning building to seek survivors using innate night vision and clues decoded by his brain’s vision center.
• A lifeguard applies his remarkable skills of pattern recognition to spot one drowning man amid thousands at the beach.

Episode 2: “Sensation”

Less than one-twentieth of an inch below the surface of the skin are the “antennae” that allow us to sense the world around us. This vital layer is the gateway to the original information superhighway - the nervous system. Millions of nerves carry sensations across the body and up to the brain at hundreds of miles an hour. But our nervous system also has abilities almost beyond imagining. Here is the story of the human body’s crucial communications network as never seen before:
• When a father and daughter are stranded without water in the scorched Australian outback, a countdown to their death begins until their nerves trigger hidden survival systems.
• Rapid response wiring in his body allows a Coast Guard helicopter pilot to control his machine with amazing precision, even in storm-strength winds.
• A life of intense training and mental discipline allows Shaolin monks to endure powerful blows to their bodies without even blinking.

Plus, how can we move our fingers faster than we can think? How can you master the polygraph? What exactly is pain, and how do some control it? How do magicians fool us with their illusions? What lies behind the mysteries of our dreams? And what new powers will be discovered by the latest scientific breakthroughs enabling doctors to plug a camera directly into the brain?” ~ Discovery Channel

Human Body. Strength & Brainpower. Vol. 2 (DVD)
By Discovery Channel
Directed by Mark Radice
Produced by Tim Goodchild
Madman Entertainment

When options run out, just how far are we willing to go?

Through a stunning array of highly original graphics and animation, see how the human body and brain undergo major changes when forced into crisis mode. In these two great volumes, witness how a pinned rock climber finds the strength to move a half-tonne boulder to freedom, how a man survives being sucked up in a tornado and how a fire-fighter can see through bellowing smoke to search for clues to survivors in a raging building fire.

From mountain climbing, martial arts and desperate rescues to medical breakthroughs and professional sports, here are the tales of the incredible power and performance of the amazing body we call our own.

Episode 1: “Strength”

The human body is engineered for strength, power and endurance. Bone is sturdy as concrete but flexible enough to resist breaking and light enough to allow us to be quicker off the mark than a racehorse. Our muscles, ligaments and joints have far greater strength and endurance than we know. In this episode, we feature extraordinary tales of human strength told with stunning see-through “anatomy in motion.”

• A young man is sucked up into a tornado, only to be spat out a quarter of a mile away, unharmed.
• Pinned by a massive boulder, a climber finds the strength to lift it off in a seemingly impossible muscular feat.
• A college football player sustains what would normally be unbearable injury and pain, yet has the mental stamina to continue playing at full output.

Plus, how does a swimmer tap the remnants of our distant ancestors’ extraordinary stamina to swim across the English Channel in 14 hours? How do marathon runners keep the pace on their grueling 26-mile run?

Episode 2: “Brain Power”
The driving force behind every one of us is the most powerful organ in the natural world: the human brain. Our central processing unit generates as many electrical impulses in a single day as all the telephones in the world combined. With new state-of-the-art imagery of this complex, mysterious machine, we reveal how our brain accelerates when faced with intense stress or danger, and taps into its deepest layers to unlock prehistoric survival instincts.
• NASCAR driver Clint Bowyer tells us about making split-second decisions in the heat and stress of a 400-lap race.
• Desperate firefighters, trapped by the intense heat of a forest fire, find out how the brain can take charge without waiting for conscious control.
• A lone explorer, piloting a balloon over the Arctic, pushes himself to the limits of sleep deprivation. It nearly costs him his life.

Plus, learn about the extraordinary ways our brains can re-tune our system when starvation threatens, and how sleep and dreams can unleash unseen powers in our mind.”

2 tbsp tomato paste
1 tsp dried basil
4 bay leaves
100g small pasta, minestrone or shell
440g can red kidney beans
4 cups of vegetables (shredded cabbage, sliced zucchini, peas, spinach (sliced), broccoli or cauliflower - or whatever you prefer here
100 g mushrooms, sliced
2 tbsp torn basil
2 tbsp finely grated parmesan cheese

How to:

I hope you enjoy the soup. Duncan.

Pomegranates are native to Iran and Turkey. The pomegranate is a complex structure which contains many seeded berries inside a leathery husk. Pomegranates are grown on all continents except Antarctica. The United States leads in production (primarily California’s San Joaquin Valley), followed by Turkey, Tunisia, and Spain. There are 3,000 varieties, but only one variety, Wonderful, is commonly grown worldwide.
Pomegranate is good for you, because it is low in calories and sodium while providing potassium, vitamin C and antioxidants. 100% pomegranate juice is a little bitter and not sweet. When it comes to fruit juices, the best taste may mean the worst nutrition.

An 8-ounce glass of pomegranate juice can deliver over 30 grams of sugars, so if you’ have trouble with blood sugar levels, either diabetes or hypoglycemia, you should never drink pomegranate juice on an empty stomach. If you eat pomegranate seeds, the natural seed fibers will slow the absorption of the pomegranate sugars and thus, it is easier for your body to process. Pure pomegranate juice is better for your blood sugar than blends containing apple juice or grape juice. Pomegranate sugars do not appear to raise blood sugar levels as easily as other fruit sugars.

Humans motor skills and cognitive thinking abilities decline with age. This has been thought to be due to the long-term effects of oxidative stress and inflammation. Findings have suggested that these declines can be slowed by increasing the dietary intake of natural antioxidants found in fruits and vegetables. Pomegranates have been shown to be anti-cancer and to protect the heart and the cardiovascular system.

Mangosteen is a tropical fruit that is grown primarily in hot, humid climates of southeast Asia such as Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, and Indonesia. Mangosteen is a dark purple fruit about 2 to 3 inches in diameter – the size of a small peach or apple. Mangosteens are unrelated to mangos. Mangosteen is a tropical fruit of attractive shape, color and excellent flavor. It has great economic potential and is often referred to as “Queen of Fruits” or “the finest fruit of the world.” A major limitation to the development of a mangosteen industry is the long pre-bearing stage (8-15 years) that seedlings take to bear fruits for the first time.

Mangosteen has been used for medicinal purposes for generations. According to folklore, the rind was used to make a tea for conditions such as diarrhea, bladder infections, and gonorrhea. An ointment made from the rind was applied to skin rashes. Today, the rind has been found to contain the compounds alpha-mangostin, beta-mangostin, garcinone B, and garcinone E, which are collectively called xanthones. Laboratory studies suggest xanthones have anti-cancer effects when they are studied in test tubes. Mangosteen has also been found to have anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antifungal, and antiseptic properties in test tube studies.
