Bringing wholesome healthy tips
Here we go again. If they can’t fix it, they want to cut it out. Talk about overly-aggressive care. A new study says that adults suffering from frequent sore throats could benefit from having their tonsils removed. 1 This surgery, called a tonsillectomy, is already the second most common surgery performed on children. Tonsillectomies are performed when a patient has recurrent tonsillitis, an infection of the tonsils. Researchers say that…
What’s that one food you know you have to avoid in the evenings because it will ruin a good night’s sleep? For many it’s coffee — as well as spicy foods that can instigate heartburn or an upset stomach that can leave you tossing and turning. Sugar can leave you with a little too much energy before bedtime too. But you might be surprised at what else may be keeping…
Have you noticed that you rarely see any advice on protecting your eye health? It’s not because we’re not concerned about our eyes. Americans rank loss of eyesight as one of the top four “worst things that could happen”—right up there with cancer, Alzheimer’s and HIV/AIDS, according to a recent national public opinion poll. 1 Americans definitely fear losing our vision — and as many as 21 million of us…
I’ve written in the past and offered advice on keeping your brain sharp to avoid memory decline, especially through diet. Fortunately, if you’ve received an early diagnosis, have a loved one who has started to slip into Alzheimer’s dementia, or just want to be proactive — I want you to know it’s never too late for help. Through natural methods and nutrient supplements it’s possible to reverse dementia, naturally. Brain-boosting…
The retirement of baby boomers has been a hot topic for decades. It’s no longer looming — it’s here. Every month, more than a quarter-million Americans turn 65. Just ask Bill Murray, Stevie Wonder, Peter Frampton and Cybill Shepherd — who all celebrated a 65th birthday in the past year. So as hard as it is to imagine, it comes to all of us. And even though retirement means more free…
Last Saturday, I explained some things about the not so hot potato — mainly about their extremely high glycemic index rating that makes them even worse for spiking your blood sugar than table sugar or high fructose corn syrup. That’s why eating them several times a week is directly tied to developing type 2 diabetes. Boy, did I upset some folks. I know you love your potatoes. I did too.…
If you set out to invent and grow a vegetable that could fight cancer, reduce inflammation, and detox the body, you probably couldn’t improve on broccoli. Broccoli is rich in fiber, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Unfortunately, over-cooking is known to deplete these healthy properties. Deciding whether to microwave, boil or steam your broccoli may not seem important, but the choice may have major health implications. “As we’re learning, food processing isn’t…
They call it the silent killer. And there’s a good chance you’re among the millions of Americans at risk of early death or debilitating disease from high blood pressure as you read this. But the good news is: You can improve your risk by as much as 38 percent. A new study called the Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial, or SPRINT, just revealed that the blood pressure numbers most of…
A basic misunderstanding the American people have about food is that calories are the same as nutrition. All foods have calories, but only a very small amount of foods have nutrition. Commercial food processors, which produce hundreds of thousands of tons of empty foods containing calories without nutrition, capitalize upon this ignorance. This has led to a national crisis that I call full belly starvation. This is to say that…
Training with a partner is a great way to get into shape. They keep us motivated and inspired, push us to do more and not give up, and it’s so much fun! Today’s video is the next installment in our ‘buddy series’ of exercises, wherein Tema will show you a super fun way to tone your legs, butt and arms, called “lateral lunges with ball pass.” Lateral lunges really work…
