Bringing wholesome healthy tips
There are times when pain is expected. Pain is normal after injury or surgery — and it should resolve in a matter of weeks. But pain can also be an indicator of a persistent underlying disease condition. No one should suffer needlessly. And in the short-term, modern medicine has provided effective pain treatments in the form of strong narcotic pain relievers. They certainly have an important role and there is…
Scientists used to believe that once you were old enough to legally drink, the fate of your brain was sealed — you had received your lifetime allowance of nerve cells (otherwise known as neurons), and if you wanted or needed more you were out of luck. But it turns out this just isn’t true. Not only does your brain keep developing throughout your life, but new nerve cells aren’t so…
When plaque builds up on the walls of your arteries and inhibits blood flow (a condition called atherosclerosis), it doesn’t bode well for your health. And if you’re one of the more than three million Americans suffering from atherosclerosis, you know this all too well. Atherosclerosis is the primary cause of heart attack, but it also causes about half of all strokes. And there are often no symptoms until it’s…
If you’ve not fully committed to taking a daily probiotic, I hope this startling information will help you decide to make today the day — especially if you’re a woman at or nearing menopause, like me. You probably haven’t heard much about any association between menopause and probiotics, but I’m sure you know how important probiotics are at supporting a healthy gastrointestinal tract. But even beyond that, your gut is…
It’s an insidious and sneaky disease. One out of every four people who has it doesn’t even know it. But as sad as it is that some 30 million Americans have diabetes, the sadder fact is that many of those victims could have avoided the disease if they had known about the silent signs of a condition called prediabetes. Prediabetes is a relatively new word to describe a condition where…
If you’d like to look as young as you feel — maybe even younger — there’s something you can do that’s much cheaper, easier and less dangerous than Botox. You can pop a pill. Not a prescription pill, of course, with a laundry list of life-threatening side effects. But a safe and effective probiotic pill — filled with beneficial bacteria — that keeps your skin clearer, smoother and more vibrant.…
Much of your time spent at work is likely while sitting at a desk, hunched forward with head looking down at your keyboard or computer screen. This creates compression, tension, and imbalance between the chest and shoulder muscles and the back and neck muscles. That amounts to aches and pain that nobody has time for. But you can’t work it all out with a few good stretches. You’ll want to…
If you’re serious about tackling the effects of growing older, the findings of research from the University of Guelph in Ontario, Canada may cause you to change your approach to nutrition. The new study has revealed how omega-3 fatty acids help fight aging and can help ward off disease and both physical and mental impairments associated with advancing age. The omega-3 fatty acids used in the study were those most…
If you’re anything like the average American, then you probably consume about 27 pounds of fructose per year. Assuming this is true, most of your fructose likely comes from sugary drinks, syrups, honey, desserts — and, of course, the most notorious source — high-fructose corn syrup. Unfortunately, unless you stand out from the crowd when it comes to sugar consumption, you are damaging your brain and health in a serious…
Cholesterol is a controversial topic in the health community. For years, cholesterol was portrayed as a dietary villain maliciously ruining your heart and stealing your health. But then, after all those years spent avoiding otherwise healthy foods like eggs and taking dangerous drugs like statins, it turned out the science vilifying cholesterol was not all it was cracked up to be… New research emerged showing that not all cholesterol was…
