Bringing wholesome healthy tips
Colorectal cancer is a disease that mostly strikes older adults. It seems to lie in wait and crop up just when you think you’ve done all the right things — health wise — because you’ve made it into your 70s (or will, hopefully) having avoided it. Then… bam! But are you really doing all the right things? Because if you’re not, there’s an even more urgent reason why you should…
Brain health and memory is especially important to an aging population. And that’s very apparent if you look at results from a survey I recently came across. It revealed that only 29 percent of respondents were concerned about losing physical abilities — but 62 percent were concerned about losing their mental capacity. [1] Mild cognitive impairment is estimated to affect 16 to 25 percent of Americans over the age of…
I find it odd that people criticize the paleo diet because it doesn’t precisely mimic the foods that Paleolithic people ate before the introduction of grains into the human diet. Of course, the paleo diet can’t reproduce what humans ate during the Paleolithic era. We no longer live in caves, lean-tos or tents—thank goodness. Most of us live in a modern urban or suburban environment, so the way we get…
“This year, I’m going to get in shape.” We’ve all said it, and sometimes we stick to our new routine for a little while. But then life gets in the way. Instead of breaking that commitment you made to yourself, remember these quotes (or post them to your Pinterest board) to give you that boost of motivation you need. Just what is it about the word exercise that is such a…
Sit-ups and crunches are among the most well-known and boring of exercises. What’s more, working out alone can be tedious and it can be difficult to self-motivate. Here we offer another installment in our series on partner training that reinvents the basic and boring, yet necessary, exercises. We call them buddy exercises and they’re made to be fun and challenging. In today’s video, Tema Esberg of Potentia Personal Training shows…
In the lab it killed 70 to 80 percent of cancerous head and neck tumor cells in just nine weeks — in rats. It also fights deadly antibiotic-resistant Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) — and wins. It sounds like a miracle cure — and it’s completely natural. According to one of the researchers, “Mother Nature has done a lot of the research for us, it’s been tested for thousands of years,”…
The germ theory of disease is a hoax created by Louis Pasteur and latched onto and perpetuated by establishment medicine. It is the belief that disease or sickness is spread by germs or viruses outside the body. The germ theory opens the way to impose millions of drug concoctions upon the people. Don’t we realize that this notion implies that every illness or sickness is drug-dependent? Germ theory has been…
Your circadian rhythm is an internal time clock or pattern that influences processes in the body and mind. These biological and behavioral developments are set in 24-hour cycles. And they’re very important to helping you in your day to day activities and at keeping you healthy. Along with the sleep-wake cycle, your body’s circadian rhythm causes changes in blood pressure, basal body temperature and hormonal release. The position of the…
If you’re like me, you’re probably sick and tired of seeing anorexic-looking models in magazines and on TV, and hearing about how to achieve their signature “thigh gap” through extreme dieting and exercise. Thankfully, society seems to be taking a turn towards a healthier body image that may lead to less glorification of the thigh gap craze, and others like it that set us up for unachievable — and unhealthy…
Despite the significant amount of research that has been and continues to be conducted on common diseases, experts are still relatively uncertain about their causes. One reason for this uncertainty is the fact that both genetic and environmental factors are involved, and the range of contributing possibilities in each disease category is enormous. Surprisingly though, there are some places in the world where common diseases actually rarely occur. Below are…
