Bringing wholesome healthy tips
There is more to do on a mini-trampoline than just jump up and down or jog in place. With the right exercises, it’s a great tool for toning and strengthening the legs, developing dynamic stability in the core muscles of the low back, abs and glutes. At the same time, these exercises can be a great warm up for a longer exercise routine or serve as the routine itself. Importantly,…
Five inflammation-fighting foods — those containing a lot of polyphenols — are most effective at reducing inflammation. Long before you go to your doctor and receive a dreaded diagnosis, like cancer, diabetes or Alzheimer’s, your body has already been operating in a serious state of distress caused by unchecked inflammation. That’s because chronic inflammation is at the root of almost all chronic disease. Ironically, this same inflammation — the one…
“Paleo eating” is a good idea in theory, and it’s based on an argument that appears compelling at first. It goes something like this: For millions of years, we evolved eating foods found in nature. Meat… vegetables… nuts. Then we started farming, and in so doing we began consuming foods that had to undergo processing before we could eat them — grains like wheat, barley, and hops, and dairy products…
Chronic exposure to alcohol prevents your pancreas from absorbing a critical nutrient and potent cancer fighter. A lot of research has surfaced that says drinking alcohol can actually make you healthier… especially that glass of red wine with dinner. But then again, so much other research links alcohol consumption to serious diseases like cancer, diabetes and dementia. Of course common sense says the key to ‘healthy’ alcohol consumption is moderation.…
One thing that’s important to remember about Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia is that they don’t develop overnight. By the time you start to notice the first signs of serious cognitive decline, your brain has already been on a downward spiral for years. In fact, researchers have found that people with a genetic predisposition toward early-onset Alzheimer’s can begin showing Alzheimer’s predictive brain changes as young as 18…
Your liver is your body’s largest organ, and it plays a major role in your well-being. Not only does it make many of the chemicals necessary for your body to function but it also acts as a storage unit for essential vitamins like vitamin B-12, folic acid, iron, vitamin D and vitamin K. But perhaps your liver’s most challenging job is as your body’s detoxifier. Your liver takes a major…
The term “resveratrol” has become one of those health buzzwords like “antioxidants,” “superfood” or “detox.” Resveratrol is an antioxidant (yes, I know, another buzzword) and that’s a big part of the reason it’s synonymous with the “buzz” surrounding anti-aging nutrients. Like other antioxidants to varying degrees, resveratrol protects your cells from the damage that comes with aging. It’s found in certain plants where is serves to protect and help plants…
Nothing ages you faster than an inflamed heart, bad arteries and a shrinking brain. Not much sends you to the grave sooner either. And to think it happens every day because of something completely avoidable… So why aren’t doctor’s catching on? Because after decades of hits and misses, modern medicine refuses to see your body as a magnificent machine where every part — though vital in their separate functions —…
Some minerals are required for optimal health, and the electrolyte category are among the most vital. Why? Because your body is electric, and when electrolytes are absorbed by your body, they produce a solution that conducts that electricity. Thinking of the human body as being electric sparks imaginative scenarios — like those depicted in the Gothic classic, Frankenstein, where the monster was reanimated using electricity, and the modern sci-fi/fantasy movie,…
The mainstream cancer cures are just not working against the deadliest of cancers, like lung cancer. With more than 1.6 million dying from this killer each year, isn’t it time the medical establishment collectively accepts what a handful of researchers already know? And that is… to find any real hope on the horizon for those with lung cancer… and possibly other types of cancer as well — it’s not going…
