Detoxing is a way to “recharge, rejuvenate, and renew,” says Linda Page, ND, PhD, naturopathic doctor, lecturer, and author of Detoxification. "Anybody can benefit from a cleansing.” Some studies suggest that "detoxing" is a myth, but everyone agrees that drinking a lot of liquids is good for your health, and drinking plenty of plain water and fruit and vegetable juices will aid your digestion and have other good effects on your body — and if these things do help to detoxify you, so much the better.


You can’t go wrong with a fruit smoothie, and there’s no limit to what vegetables can do for you. Any doctor will tell you that kale, broccoli, and spinach are some of the healthiest green vegetables to make smoothies and juices with.
 

Since many bottled and ready-made drinks often contain added sweeteners and other additions, making all-natural drinks at home is recommended. We’ll explain which drinks are the best and why.



Water



(https://www.camelotfantasies.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1322.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fu572%2Fspartacus120%2Fcamelot%2520forum%2Fdecimus-300%2Fmax-9000%2Fdetox-2_zpsbxxg1n0f.jpg&hash=d1d17811b0d94a6493a38e4b620bccbd7d938d03) (http://s1322.photobucket.com/user/spartacus120/media/camelot%20forum/decimus-300/max-9000/detox-2_zpsbxxg1n0f.jpg.html)


Water is the most natural way to "detox" because it promotes good digestion by dissolving toxins and waste particles in the body and flushing them out through the digestive tract.



Lemon Water


(https://www.camelotfantasies.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1322.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fu572%2Fspartacus120%2Fcamelot%2520forum%2Fdecimus-300%2Fmax-9000%2Fdetox-3_zpskgvb01mt.jpg&hash=70625abfa9c00e3ec93462a73664432a6d89e3bb) (http://s1322.photobucket.com/user/spartacus120/media/camelot%20forum/decimus-300/max-9000/detox-3_zpskgvb01mt.jpg.html)

While water alone is good, squeezing a bit of lemon juice into your glass will speed up the detoxification process. Lemons contain a large concentration of an antioxidant called d-limonene, which helps breaks down toxic substances in the liver. They also contain lots of citric acid, which is known to improve absorption of a toxin-fighting molecule called aluminum hydroxide, the active ingredient in most antacids.

Lime Juice


Flavonoids found in lime’s fragrant oils cause the mouth to water, activating digestive saliva before you even taste the lime. Like lemons, limes contain citric acid, which helps absorb aluminum hydroxide. They are also made up of eight kinds of liminoids, which are compounds that help stimulate an enzyme in the liver believed to deactivate cancer-causing toxins.

Green Tea


Green tea contains polyphenols, which are antioxidants that rid the body of free radicals that can modify, damage, and kill cells, potentially leading to cancer and other diseases.

Orange Juice


Given its high levels of vitamins and minerals, orange juice is a great nutritional source as well as a "detox" drink. The beta-carotene in orange juice can help prevent cell damage within the body.

Beet Juice


Many doctors argue that beet juice should be on the list of superfoods. It’s a great source of vitamins and minerals and contains detoxifying antioxidants that cleanse the body.

Fruit Smoothie


You can’t go wrong with a fruit smoothie. Fruits are high in fiber, vitamins and minerals, and antioxidants, making them an ideal detoxifier.

I like limes and orange ThanQ good tips, don’t care for lemons

Citrus fruits, luckily we have choices. I choose lemons or limes, didn’t realize until I read
Eat Right for your blood type that oranges aren’t good for me.
Used to eat them all the time and suffered stomach pain.

Great topics here.

I apologize immensely for not being on as often a I should be. Dealing with life in general has been daunting and exciting at the same time. I have recently embarked on a journey to loose weight and get in shape. Even though I exercise every day and run a lot, I have not been able to shed the pounds that I would like.  So I have started a life style change and journey to better well being. I currently weight 138 lbs and wish to reach 120 lbs. I have started learning and implanting a Keto lifestyle and will hope that you follow me in my journey and that we will all learn what it means to fit and healthy. Even though I'm a nurse and should be a good representative of health and wellness, sometimes the hours I work and the stress of the job can bring a toll over all and I don't eat properly and am able to exercise like I would like. In the next few weeks I will be posting updates on my journey and also posting information to help others. So come along on my journey and lets see what happens! Much love and happiness to all in everything you do.


Congratulations.

Fantastic news. Please keep up updated.
Blessings.

Finally prevent of strokes and reoccurrence of strokes.  Life style change and being informed is the best way to prevent a stroke.

Thank you for watching.

You're welcome Lady D

Note and disclaimer: This information is for learning and education and I do not represent any medical facility or the college. I always recommend that you speak with your doctor before starting any treatments.

I think it would be a good thing if more people actually learnt how to tell if someone had them. This is very emotional for me as 1 of my Aunt's had 1 a week after seeing my other Aunt who had just been diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. 2 weeks after my Aunt with lung cancer died. The hospital said the stroke was caused by seeing her Sister like that. She looked well but lost her voice & couldn't breathe. It was difficult to see. A week after attending my Aunt's funeral, an old man in the café suddenly turned ill. He said he felt ill but didn't know why. Then he suddenly turned quiet. We went to see if he was o.k. but his face turned lop-sided. They sent for an ambulance but said everything else to those on the other side of the phone except his face was lop-sided. I told them to mention that but they said it wasn't important. I knew it was as it would have told them what was wrong. The paramedics asked if he was having a fit when they came. I said it looked more like a stroke to me. It turned out I was right but no one listened. He could have got treatment sooner if they did. They were all telling me except the paramedics I didn't know what I was talking about. Some apologised afterwards. Luckily he was o.k.

Here is some signs and symptoms to look for when you think someone is having a stroke. Hopefully this will help you in the future.
I know. That's what I told them but no one was listening to me. They said a lopsided face was nothing to do with a stroke. Some people didn't apologise to me when they found out I was right, they just said they were going to do a 1st aid course. Thank you very much for the extra information.

I'm so sorry to hear that they weren't listening. The first step to recovery is early detection and intervention. I pray he is not suffering any ill effects from others stupidity. Much love to you Ann

I think it would be a good thing if more people actually learnt how to tell if someone had them. This is very emotional for me as 1 of my Aunt's had 1 a week after seeing my other Aunt who had just been diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. 2 weeks after my Aunt with lung cancer died. The hospital said the stroke was caused by seeing her Sister like that. She looked well but lost her voice & couldn't breathe. It was difficult to see. A week after attending my Aunt's funeral, an old man in the café suddenly turned ill. He said he felt ill but didn't know why. Then he suddenly turned quiet. We went to see if he was o.k. but his face turned lop-sided. They sent for an ambulance but said everything else to those on the other side of the phone except his face was lop-sided. I told them to mention that but they said it wasn't important. I knew it was as it would have told them what was wrong. The paramedics asked if he was having a fit when they came. I said it looked more like a stroke to me. It turned out I was right but no one listened. He could have got treatment sooner if they did. They were all telling me except the paramedics I didn't know what I was talking about. Some apologised afterwards. Luckily he was o.k.

Here is some signs and symptoms to look for when you think someone is having a stroke. Hopefully this will help you in the future.
I know. That's what I told them but no one was listening to me. They said a lopsided face was nothing to do with a stroke. Some people didn't apologise to me when they found out I was right, they just said they were going to do a 1st aid course. Thank you very much for the extra information.

For those who don't follow me on Twitter and Face Book. I wanted to share this new vaccine information about Shingles.

Shingles can be a very painful and debilitating part of ones life. My sister in law had it and she sure wish she hadn't got it. If you have every had chicken pox you are susceptible to getting shingles (Herpes Zoster). This new vaccine is a great idea for the prevention of shingle later in life. Normally I wouldn't advocate getting a man made vaccine, but I believe this is a very good idea.

Thank you for all of your information Lady RD!
You’re a wealth of information

Thank you.

I am sorry for you’re loss and I understand
The complexities of strokes for they are
Not always similar ....they vary depending on
The persons constitution.

Much love and light.
Vaccines ...I’ve been skeptical
Like Fluoride etc

As you mentioned whole foods is the key.
Most of my life I’ve been vegetarian
Instinctively at first
Body reacting to foods that aren’t good for us

Thank you again 🙏🦋💙

Hello Lady RD,
Curious to hear your thoughts from this article !

Thank you!

~D

This is an excellent article and he has hit the nail on the head with using a natural mostly vegetarian diet can heal the body from the inside out. I also recommend Jethro Kloss'es book Back to Eden that is rich in information and diets on how to heal the body from many aliments.
I was just talking with my best friend this morning about the health care system and nutrition. Doctors are not out to heal the body because they would loose business. And the pharmaceutical companies don't want you to be healthy because they will loose business. It's a vicious cycle that only ourselves can break by eating and living right. I personally follow the dietary laws put forth by the bible and live a very healthy life. In the world we live in it is very hard to have a diet that is not tainted in some way from improper farming techniques and a lot of the earth has been poisoned by chemicals. Big chemical companies like Monsantos have encouraged farmers to use products like burn down that has destroyed the lands natural ability to recover and produce healthy food. We have to start with our young and encourage eating whole and naturally grown food. Stop giving our children anything that comes in a box, show them how to grow food naturally. Even families that live in the city can eat naturally by having small gardens. Even if they grow it in a pot on the front porch or in the window ledge in the kitchen. Society has unfortunately become programed and accustomed to fast food and taking the easy way out when it comes to nutrition. We have to put forth the effort to heal ourselves by taking the steps in the right direction. One last note, even the use of man made vitamin supplements cannot be trusted because there are added ingredient in the pill that binds it together that is unhealthy for man to consume. If you can obtain supplements in natural powder or oil form is a better way to take them. But with that being said it is easier to get the proper nutrition is to eat it not take it in pill form. I hope this information is helpful to anyone who reads it. Please feel free to leave comments and I will respond when I can. Thank you, Yvette Tipsword LPN

Strokes are a varied monster.

My Father had visible effects and rushed to the hospital
Whereupon an hour in the Emergency
He was joking with the staff.

Confusing for his case was rare.

Catscans didn't detect 17 strokes.

Usually strokes affect the right or left side
Of the brain. Ultimately that's where
They were looking to see ... Dad was an anamoly!

17 strokes in one months left him bedridden!
MRI finally ascertained they were hitting him
At the base of the brain.

He was given three months to live...

He lived 5 years and I counted 48 strokes
I'm certain he suffered more.

Diagnosis can go wrong.
I was not in the medical profession
I was his main caregiver.

Particularly after he was given three months.
He wanted to die in his home.

Long story ...short.

His strokes opened the eyes of many
Neurologists, Specialists ...the list is extensive.

I could tell when he was about to have one.
His eyes, his speech would be after he was having one.

We were blessed with our furry family member
Who would in his own way, let me know
He had an infection or if he sat above Dads head,
That a stroke was imminent.

I will come back to watch all the videos you kindly
Posted.

Thank you.
I hope everyone takes the time to watch.

Grateful for your input!

Love and light

Thank you so very much for the reply Lady D. Yes strokes can be very hard to detect and the brain is so complicated to begin with. The medical field of neurology is just touching the edges of why, what and how strokes are caused. It is very unfortunate that some has to suffer so much before it is found out. My cousin was 45 when she had a major stroke (brain hemorrhage) when she past away. She only complained of having a really bad headache, laid down and passed away in her sleep. My grandmother on the other hand had 21 mini-strokes before she had a large encompassing stroke that caused her to be bed ridden until she passed away from heart complications. I'm glad that your dad had a companion that helped detect the oncoming strokes and that he had you to care for him. It's very sad to see a loved one affected by this debilitating condition and we can do nothing about it except try and make them as comfortable and independent as possible. I know doctors make is sound complicated with all their fancy words, but basically a stroke is the rupture of blood vessels in the brain, which can be caused by a variety of reasons. Usually the main one is plaque build up in the vessels which causes blockage and then rupture. I glad to know he was well cared for until the end. My deepest heart felt condolence for your loss even if it was recent it's will always be hard to take. Much love to you Lady D!

I apologize to all for not posting in a while. Life sometimes gets in the way.
Recently I had a client that suffered from a mild stroke so today I have found time to watch, evaluate and post education videos on the brain, how blood flows through the brain, how a stoke affects the brain and signs/symptoms/treatment and prevention of future stroke.
I have professional and personal experience in CVA (Cerebral Vascular Accident) and with all the big farms like Monsantos and others that manipulate the products we eat I feel that it is important to post these.
Remember Knowledge is power and to stay healthy through out you life you need to have the information to do. I hope you enjoy and find it stimulating. Please post comments. Thank you! Love the Camelot family!

Got a headache? Take Advil. Menstrual cramps? Pop some Advil. Shoulder injury acting up? It’s Advil to the rescue. Or is it?
Research published in the March issue of European Heart Journal: Cardiovascular Pharmacotherapy is a warning to anyone who takes non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)—such as ibuprofen—on a regular basis. The study found that these drugs may increase the risk of a heart attack by up to 30 percent.
Using the Danish Cardiac Arrest Registry, the researchers collected data on all patients who had an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in Denmark between 2001 and 2010 and data on all redeemed prescriptions for NSAIDs from Danish pharmacies since 1995. Using each patient as both case and control over two distinct time periods, their use of NSAIDs during the 30 days before cardiac arrest was compared to their use of NSAIDs during a preceding 30-day period without cardiac arrest. Use of any NSAID (both non-selective NSAIDs such as diclofenac, naproxen, ibuprofen, and COX-2 selective inhibitors such as rofecoxib and celecoxib) was associated with a 31 percent increased risk of cardiac arrest.
Study author Gunnar H. Gislason, professor of cardiology at Copenhagen University Hospital Gentofte, Denmark, said the findings are “a stark reminder that NSAIDs are not harmless.”
How exactly could these drugs increase the risk of a heart attack? NSAIDs affect the cardiovascular system in several ways: They can influence platelet aggregation, cause blood clots, cause the arteries to constrict, increase fluid retention, and raise blood pressure.
“Diclofenac and ibuprofen, both commonly used drugs, were associated with significantly increased risk of cardiac arrest. NSAIDs should be used with caution and for a valid indication,” warned Dr. Gislason. “They should probably be avoided in patients with cardiovascular disease or many cardiovascular risk factors.” (Find out other ways you can prevent heart disease.)


This is great information General. I have found that the number one cause of headaches is dehydration. If you aren't drinking enough water (fluids in general) this will cause a decrease in the blood volume in the body which causes the vessels to decrease in size and constricts the flow of blood to the brain causing pressure to build, thus causing the headache. Also dehydration is one of the leading causes of menstrual cramps and various other pains due to the lack of blood volume and proper hydration. So think and drink at least 8, 16 ounces of water daily. It will keep the headaches away.
But remember if you suffer from migraines then you should definitely discuss options with your primary care physician.

Here is a link that will help explain what happens when the body gets dehydrated.

Lady RD

Thank you Divine

Dementia can set in at any age due to many factors. But with  the elderly it is not uncommon to develop a certain amount of dementia due to the deterioration of brain cells that comes from the natural aging process. This can cause sporadic dementia, like forgetting appointments or car keys. Now if the person has other factors like a known family history of Alzheimer's  then they should be checked for other signs and symptoms that show up with the disease.

Here is a video that may help explain it more. Hope you find it helpful Lady D. PLease let me know what you think. Hugs xx

Love the information on artificial sweeteners. T

Artificial sweeteners: sugar-free, but at what cost?


 
 Posted July 16, 2012, 1:28 pm , Updated December 12, 2016, 3:09 pm 
Holly Strawbridge, Former Editor, Harvard Health   


Artificial sweeteners   

By offering the taste of sweetness without any calories, artificial sweeteners seem like they could be one answer to effective weight loss. The average 12-ounce can of sugar-sweetened soda delivers about 150 calories, almost all of them from sugar. The same amount of diet soda—zero calories. The choice seems like a no-brainer.

The American Heart Association (AHA) and American Diabetes Association (ADA) have given a cautious nod to the use of artificial sweeteners in place of sugar to combat obesity, metabolic syndrome, and diabetes, all risk factors for heart disease. (You can read the full statement here.)

“While they are not magic bullets, smart use of non-nutritive sweeteners could help you reduce added sugars in your diet, therefore lowering the number of calories you eat. Reducing calories could help you attain and maintain a healthy body weight, and thereby lower your risk of heart disease and diabetes,” said Dr. Christopher Gardner, an associate professor of medicine at Stanford University in California, in a press release accompanying the scientific statement.

As with everything, there’s more to the artificial sweetener story than their effect on weight. To learn more about them, I spoke with Dr. David Ludwig, an obesity and weight-loss specialist at Harvard-affiliated Boston Children’s Hospital. He has a keen interest in products designed to help people lose weight at keep it off. And what he has learned about artificial sweeteners worries him.

All artificial sweeteners are not created equal

The FDA has approved five artificial sweeteners: saccharin, acesulfame, aspartame, neotame, and sucralose. It has also approved one natural low-calorie sweetener, stevia. How the human body and brain respond to these sweeteners is very complex.

One concern is that people who use artificial sweeteners may replace the lost calories through other sources, possibly offsetting weight loss or health benefits, says Dr. Ludwig. This can happen because we like to fool ourselves: “I’m drinking diet soda, so it’s okay to have cake.” The AHA and ADA also added this caveat to their recommendation.

It’s also possible that these products change the way we taste food. “Non-nutritive sweeteners are far more potent than table sugar and high-fructose corn syrup. A miniscule amount produces a sweet taste comparable to that of sugar, without comparable calories. Overstimulation of sugar receptors from frequent use of these hyper-intense sweeteners may limit tolerance for more complex tastes,” explains Dr. Ludwig. That means people who routinely use artificial sweeteners may start to find less intensely sweet foods, such as fruit, less appealing and unsweet foods, such as vegetables, downright unpalatable.

In other words, use of artificial sweeteners can make you shun healthy, filling, and highly nutritious foods while consuming more artificially flavored foods with less nutritional value.

Artificial sweeteners may play another trick, too. Research suggests that they may prevent us from associating sweetness with caloric intake. As a result, we may crave more sweets, tend to choose sweet food over nutritious food, and gain weight. Participants in the San Antonio Heart Study who drank more than 21 diet drinks per week were twice as likely to become overweight or obese as people who didn’t drink diet soda.

But you say you can give up diet drinks whenever you want? Don’t be so sure. Animal studies suggest that artificial sweeteners may be addictive. In studies of rats who were exposed to ****, then given a choice between intravenous **** or oral saccharine, most chose saccharin.

What’s your definition of safe?

Whether non-nutritive sweeteners are safe depends on your definition of safe. Studies leading to FDA approval have ruled out cancer risk, for the most part. However, those studies were done using far smaller amounts of diet soda than the 24 ounces a day consumed by many people who drink diet soda. We really don’t know what effect large amounts of these chemicals will have over many years.

And there are other health concerns beside cancer. In the Multiethnic Study of Atherosclerosis, daily consumption of diet drinks was associated with a 36% greater risk for metabolic syndrome and a 67% increased risk for type 2 diabetes. Aren’t these diseases that artificial sweeteners may help prevent in the first place?

Back to sugar?

Maybe sugar isn’t too bad after all. It’s all in how it’s packaged.

“Sugar-containing foods in their natural form, whole fruit, for example, tend to be highly nutritious—nutrient-dense, high in fiber, and low in glycemic load. On the other hand, refined, concentrated sugar consumed in large amounts rapidly increases blood glucose and insulin levels, increases triglycerides, inflammatory mediators and oxygen radicals, and with them, the risk for diabetes, cardiovascular disease and other chronic illnesses,” Dr. Ludwig explains.

I think I’ll have a glass of water and an apple.

Alcohol
Michael Greger M.D. · Last Updated on August 8, 2016

There is little doubt that heavy alcohol consumption, binge drinking, and drinking alcohol while pregnant are harmful, but moderate alcohol consumption carries both risks and benefits. For example, alcohol consumption may decrease the risk of heart disease (although the American College of Cardiology suggests limiting alcohol intake to reduce high blood pressure), but increase the risk of cancer (see also here), heartburn and liver inflammation. In particular, there appears to be an adverse affect on breast cancer risk, though if you are going to drink, you may want to choose red wine – and de-alcoholized red wine may improve arterial function. Alcohol also increases liver disease mortality. Alcoholic drinks do not count towards one’s phytochemical index (one type of healthy eating score). And some types of mushrooms, such as morels, should never be consumed with alcohol. Alcohol’s effect appears to be neutral with regard to atrial fibrillation. Strong alcoholic drinks such as wine or spirits is not considered hydrating.

As for non-dietary alcohol, the smell of isopropyl and rubbing alcohol may reduce nausea and vomiting.



Everything in moderation is the best policy.

Alcohol
Michael Greger M.D. · Last Updated on August 8, 2016

There is little doubt that heavy alcohol consumption, binge drinking, and drinking alcohol while pregnant are harmful, but moderate alcohol consumption carries both risks and benefits. For example, alcohol consumption may decrease the risk of heart disease (although the American College of Cardiology suggests limiting alcohol intake to reduce high blood pressure), but increase the risk of cancer (see also here), heartburn and liver inflammation. In particular, there appears to be an adverse affect on breast cancer risk, though if you are going to drink, you may want to choose red wine – and de-alcoholized red wine may improve arterial function. Alcohol also increases liver disease mortality. Alcoholic drinks do not count towards one’s phytochemical index (one type of healthy eating score). And some types of mushrooms, such as morels, should never be consumed with alcohol. Alcohol’s effect appears to be neutral with regard to atrial fibrillation. Strong alcoholic drinks such as wine or spirits is not considered hydrating.

As for non-dietary alcohol, the smell of isopropyl and rubbing alcohol may reduce nausea and vomiting.



Everything in moderation is the best policy.

Cardiovascular Disease
Michael Greger M.D. · Last Updated on November 13, 2016

Heart disease is the #1 killer in the United States, and elevated cholesterol appears to be a primary cause. A plant-based diet is free of cholesterol and saturated animal fats; a convergence of evidence suggests that a plant-based diet may protect against and help manage and even reverse heart disease. Heart disease has been found to be almost non-existent in populations eating a diet centered around whole plant foods. The arteries of plant-based eaters may have less atherosclerotic plaque than runners and people who follow a low-carb diet.

Unfortunately, with the lack of nutrition education in medical schools and the “sick population” concept that leads nutrition studies to underestimate the role of diet in disease, many doctors may be unaware of the power of nutrition to prevent and treat heart disease. Doctors’ ignorance is an important factor in the lack of information that heart patients receive on dietary interventions. This is changing, however. More doctors than ever before are informing their patients of the cardiovascular benefits of a plant-based diet.

Medicare now reimburses providers for programs that treat heart disease through diet and lifestyle changes. The American Heart Association endorses seven lifestyle goals to combat heart disease. Unfortunately, the U.S. Dietary Guidelines are not as strong as they could be about heart-healthy eating, and the U.S. has yet to follow the lead of other countries that have successfully combatted heart disease.

There are certain plant foods which appear to be especially protective against heart disease, especially those high in nitrates, antioxidants, fiber, and potassium. These foods include:
•Beans, including soy beans
•Berries
•Ceylon cinnamon
•Citrus
•Cocoa
•Coffee
•Dark chocolate
•Dried apples
•Flax seeds
•Golden raisins and currants
•Greens such as kale
•Indian gooseberries
•Nuts, including peanut butter
•Oatmeal
•Spices such as turmeric
•Tea, especially hibiscus and green tea
•Tomatoes
•Whole grains, including red rice

Research shows that, in addition to good dietary choices, exercising 1 hour each day and sleeping 7 hours each night may help prevent heart disease.

While vitamin C supplements and multivitamins may be of little use against heart disease, some supplements, including vitamin A, E, and beta-carotene, may actually introduce risk. Foods and chemicals associated with adverse cardiac consequences include:
•Coconut milk
•Coconut oil
•Dark fish
•High fat meals (including those prepared with olive oil)
•Premarin
•Salt
•BPA in plastics



Excellent article General. Most people don't know that with all the chemicals that our animals and plants are exposed to can cause the increase in heart disease and cancers. So everyone should try and get the cleanest food possible. If it can be bought at the local farmers market there will be less chance that it is chemically altered.

Being deficient in vitamin D can send your body out of balance.

Vitamin D deficiency — when the level of vitamin D in your body is too  low — can cause your bones to become thin, brittle or misshapen. The  role of vitamin D and insulin resistance, high blood pressure, and  immune function — and how these relate to heart disease and cancer — is  under investigation.

You Feel “Blue”

Serotonin, the brain hormone associated with mood elevation, rises  with exposure to bright light and falls with decreased sun exposure. In 2006, scientists evaluated the effects of vitamin D on the mental health  of 80 elderly patients and found those with the lowest levels of  vitamin D were 11 times more prone to be depressed than those who  received healthy doses.

 

Excellent Article General. I found it very refreshing and informative. With all the types of Vitamin supplements on the market, the consumer has to be careful when buying them and should definitely read the ingredients before buying. I for one do not eat shell fish like oysters. So when looking for a supplement I have found it hard to get a Vitamin D supplement that is not from a source of food that I can't eat. With that being said, here is some information on the different types of Vitamin D rich foods.

Soy:



Soy
Michael Greger M.D. · Last Updated on August 23, 2016

Soy products like tempeh, tofu, and edamame are an affordable part of an optimal diet, and are included in the USDA dietary guidelines. Soy provides protein and magnesium, and arginine (which may stimulate fat-burning). This may help explain why soy may suppress fat storage, preventing increases in abdominal fat.

Soy is the #1 source of isoflavones and may provide protection against ovarian cancer, multiple myeloma, and breast cancer – starting in childhood as well as prolonging breast cancer survival. Soy food intake also helps inhibit the enzyme TOR, which may increase cancer risk.

Soy products appear to help lower cholesterol (though not as much as other beans), which is why a soy-based Atkins diet does not have the same adverse impact. Soy ”bacon” does not appear to emit carcinogens when cooked, unlike regular bacon. Soy protein may be better for our kidneys than animal protein, and contains low amounts of the amino acid methionine, which may improve our lifespan.

Soy consumption may also be good for lung health as it may reduce allergy risk, prevent and improve asthma symptoms, and protect against COPD. Soy may also prevent and improve osteoarthritis symptoms, protect against skin wrinkles, and has been associated with lower risk of depression.

Phytoestrogen intake through soy consumption in menopausal adult women may help to reduce hot flashes, while for young girls it may help delay the onset of premature menarche and puberty. Soy foods do not reduce male fertility.

Soy milk, like cow’s milk, may interfere with the benefits of tea such as chai. But as long as it’s shaken, it can provide the same amount of calcium as cow’s milk. Soy milk also has twice the antioxidant content than that of cow’s milk.

To maintain the low IGF-1 levels associated with a plant-based diet, one should probably eat no more than 3-5 servings of soy foods a day, as high IGF-1 levels have been associated with increased cancer risk.

Soy is one of the largest crops in America, and has been subsidized to make cheap animal feed. Most of the soy grown is GMO, but, so far, there is limited data suggesting eating GMO soy is harmful to human health. Research on human placental tissue, though, does suggest pesticides on GMO soy may have toxic effects, and GMO soybeans are known to have more pesticide residues than conventional and organic soybeans.




Very good information General. Its much appreciated. Of course we all should eat healthier and maintain the optimal balance in life. Big industry farming has become like a toxic wasteland due to the increase use of genetically modified foods along with pesticides and herbicides They cross breed and experiment and we as humans that eat it are the numbers for their flow charts. The more we understand where our food comes from and what is being used for, put in it, or genetically altered with, the better decisions we can make to in order to protect ourselves.

Now there are many trends that supposedly help  you loose weight and increase you metabolism, but its all chemical based and shouldn't be used by the healthiest of persons.

Excellent video!!!!
It just proves how our government, industry and big pharma walk hand in hand to cause illness and death unnecessarily by supporting a way of life that depletes health and vitality.
It's time for all who watch this video to stand up for their own health choices and not let the man tell you how to live. You health is in your hands..

The Last Heart Attack is an informative video by Dr. Sandja Gupta. I found the study and information very interesting. Hope you do too.

Dr. Gupta is a great researcher in his field. I remember when he first started out...Lol Now that is telling my age...
Glad you enjoyed the information.  I think taking the Calcium Marker yest is an excellent idea for anyone who has a family history of stroke and heart disease.

Cancer




Michael Greger M.D. · Last Updated on June 17, 2016





Cancer is the #2 killer in the United States, and diet may be the #1 cause of cancer. The balance of evidence suggests that a whole food, plant-based diet may help prevent, treat, slow, and even reverse cancer progression. It’s never too late to start eating healthier, as cancer risk may drop after starting a plant-based diet at any age.

Some reasons why plant-based diets may be effective include lowering methionine intake, inhibiting angiogenesis, intercepting carcinogens, and increasing fiber and antioxidants. Populations eating diets centered on whole plant foods have lower rates of cancer. Eating lots of fruits and vegetables—at least 9 daily servings may boost detoxifying enzymes, lower inflammation, lower cholesterol, and make for healthier bowel movements, ridding the body of excess estrogen and cholesterol.

Specific foods that research studies have associated with anti-cancer properties include:
•Apples, especially their peel
•Beans, especially black beans
•Berries, especially cranberries
•Black pepper
•Broccoli
•Ceylon cinnamon
•Chili peppers
•Cocoa
•Coffee
•Dragon’s blood
•Flax seeds
•Garlic
•Green and herbal tea
•Greens
•Indian gooseberries
•Licorice (small amounts)
•Mushrooms, especially white button
•Nori seaweed
•Nuts, especially walnuts
•Red rice
•Sweet potatoes
•Tomatoes
•Turmeric

Other lifestyle habits that appear to help prevent cancer include an hour of exercise every day, 7-hours sleep every night, and reduced exposure to tanning beds, cell-phone radiation, CT scans, and dental x-rays. Meditation may also improve DNA health, preventing premature shortening of our telomeres.

Consumption of animal products appears to increase the risk of cancer.  Research has shown an association between increased risk of cancer and the consumption of the following foods:
•Cooked meats
•Cows’ milk
•Eggs and cheese
•Farm-raised catfish
•Smoked fish
•Poultry
•Vapors from cooking meat

It may be the inflammatory Neu5Gc molecule found in meat that accounts for some of the increased cancer risk. Certain tumors thrive in an inflammatory setting. The insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1) may also been linked to cancer. Heme iron found in the blood and muscle tissue of animal foods may also increase risk of cancer, as may the chemical pollutants in meat, which can lead to premature puberty, putting children at higher risk for cancer later in life.

After a cancer diagnosis, cutting down on saturated animal fat appears to improve cancer survival. A neutropenic diet (one devoid of fresh fruit and vegetables) may not help those undergoing chemotherapy, but oatmeal lotion may help with chemotherapy induced rashes.

Other exposures that appear to increase cancer risk include:
•Acrylamide in foods such as French fries
•Alcohol
•Ayurvedic supplements
•Betel nuts
•Caramel coloring
•Chlorhexidine found in some mouthwashes
•Fungal toxins sometimes found in apple juice
•Industrial chemical pollutants, including cadmium
•Kimchi
•Lutein supplements
•Marijuana
•Red dye No. 3
•Statin drugs
•Yerba mate


Great information Clay. I have found that in this day and age with mega farms on the rise, that all foods that are mass produced for sale to the public have been treated with chemicals that can cause an increased risk in cancer. If you buy fresh fruits or veges from the grocery store, make sure to wash them well before eating or preparing them. This will was most of the chemicals off and reduce the risk of ingestion of harmful substances. If you can always grow your own.

great advice lady Red.

Great point

Wash very well
Lucky in our area we have local farms that
Don't use pesticides
As well
As I've implemented a garden in our yard

Lucky with the cherry tree etc

There is a difference in the taste of the food

Thank you Lady RD


That is an excellent way to go. Here in Oklahoma there are a lot of local growers that don't use her baci design or pestacides and if you are able to have a garden definitely do it. The labor pays off with a deliscious abundance of fresh tasting foods.
Thank you response Lady DM it's always a joy to hear from you.


Always great to connect Lady RD
Love seeing you here and giving us your health expertise

Your warm months far exceed ours

Very lucky soil in our yard has always been
Incredible and yields a great garden.

Cherry trees in the city is incredible

Produce for humans and other living beings

I'm a vegetarian and taste is high priority for me

As well having learned to harvest the garden in ways
That I can enjoy it in the winter months

Thanks again

Look forward to more health interests
From you Lady RD

Do you can some if your fresh grown foods?  it is an excellent way of saving for the winters.

I'm perplexed

Yerba mate has positive benefits to help fight cancer

Was there an error to the the page ?
And it has other positive benefits
Of potassium, manganese and magnesium

🤔

Yes it has caffeine too since its in the black tea family

I will have to check my package information again

I've been using it adding cinnamon
And nutrition bed my body detoxing
Rather rapidly

Back soon

Great information other wise
Just seen many benefits from Cancer patience

Omega-3 Fatty Acids


Michael Greger M.D. · Last Updated on December 2, 2015




The health benefits that are believed to be associated with Omega-3 fatty acid intake include: decreased inflammation, help for arthritis, and reduced symptoms of depression. Omega-3 may even boost health and intelligence of unborn babies, though the mercury in fish significantly decreases IQ. While often a recommended source of omega-3, fish and fish-oil supplements may not be harmless due to the presence of dioxins, PCBs, mercury, and other industrial pollutants. These pollutants in fish may increase our risk of type-2 diabetes and cardiac death. Other animal products such as chicken are no longer a bountiful source of omega-3 due to genetic manipulation. Omega-3 enriched eggs can be a source, but eggs contain cholesterol and arachidonic acid. Two plant-based sources sources of omega-3 are flax seeds and algae-based DHA supplements, which are bioequivalent to fish oil but do not have the harmful industrial toxins.

Alzheimer’s Disease



Michael Greger M.D. · Last Updated on December 2, 2015





Practically non-existent a century ago, Alzheimer’s disease is now the #6 killer in the U.S. Poor cardiovascular health may clog cerebral arteries, cutting off blood flow to the brain and leading to the development of Alzheimer’s disease. Other dietary components that may increase the risk of cognitive dysfunction include pork consumption, hormones and steroids in dairy, blue-green algae supplements, spirulina, copper (in meat), glycotoxins (found mostly in chicken), the neurotoxin, BMAA, (found mostly in fish), aluminum (in cheese), and iron (in supplements).

However, studies on saffron, coffee, ginger and apple juice, beans, vitamins D and B-12, whole grains and fruits and vegetables with their component phytonutrients have shown some potential for preventing or slowing down the disease. Turmeric may treat and prevent Alzheimer’s disease. Exercise has even been shown to reverse mild cognitive decline. Plant-based diets in general may slow aging and help prevent Alzheimer’s disease. Currently, coconut oil has not been shown to have an effect on Alzheimer’s.

There may be a quick, non-invasive, cheap test involving smelling peanut butter which may help diagnose Alzheimer’s early on, which is good considering neurodegenerative brain changes may begin by middle age.

Heart Health


Michael Greger M.D. · Last Updated on June 7, 2016




Heart disease is the #1 killer in the US, and elevated cholesterol levels is thought to be a primary cause (see also here). This may explain why a plant-based diet, which is free of cholesterol and saturated animal fats, has been so successful in preventing and treating the disease (see here, here, here, here, here, here, and here). The balance of evidence suggests that a plant-based diet may not only protect against and even reverse heart disease (see here, here, and here). Reversing heart disease is critical considering heart disease often starts in childhood. Heart disease was found to be almost non-existent in populations eating a diet centered around whole plant foods (see here and here). The arteries of those eating a plant-based diet have less atherosclerotic plaque than runners and than those on a low-carb diet. But if those adhering to a plant-based diet do not consume enough vitamin B12, they may negate the cardiovascular benefits. Those on a Paleo diet may also negate the cardiovascular benefits of exercise. Plant foods are the only source of heart-healthy fiber, while animal-products are the only significant source of cholesterol (see here, here). In terms of target cholesterol level, it appears to be best to get as low as possible (see also here, here, here, here).

Unfortunately, due to a lack of nutrition education in medical schools, many doctors may be unaware of the power of nutrition to stop our number one killer (see here, here). Ignorance is one of a number of factors to blame for the lack of information presented to patients on dietary changes that can improve heart health (see also here, here, and here). The “sick population” concept that leads nutrition studies to underestimate the role of diet in disease. Sadly, the most common treatment is the prescription of cholesterol-lowering drugs (see also here, here, here, and here) which is be linked to increased breast cancer risk among other adverse side effects. Meanwhile, whole grains, grapefruit, and exercise may help lower cholesterol naturally (see also here). There are some doctors, however, who choose to inform their patients of the cardiovascular benefits of a plant-based diet (see also here). Erectile dysfunction and other vascular insufficiency symptoms may be an early warning sign for heart disease and can be reversed with diet (see also here). Pistachio nuts and watermelon may in particular help improve **** blood flow. Heart disease may also lead to low back pain and sciatica.

Medicare now reimburses programs that heart disease through diet and lifestyle changes (see also here and here). Unfortunately, the U.S. Dietary Guidelines have yet to follow the lead of other countries that have successfully combatted this scourge. The history of the U.S. Dietary Guidelines may shed some light on some reasons why. Fortunately the American Heart Association has come out with seven lifestyle goals to combat heart disease.

Eating just one egg a day may exceed the safe limit of cholesterol and has been linked to a shortened lifespan (see also here). Eggs are so high in cholesterol that the Egg Industry cannot even legally claim that eggs are “nutritious” (see here, here, here, here, here, here). Big Egg is not the only industry attempting to mislead about the health consequences of their products. Meat may increase heart disease mortality (see here and here), and fish and fish oil supplements may not be as heart-healthy as once thought, due to contamination with mercury and industrial pollutants (see here, here). Chicken and fish consumption may have the same negative impact as red meat on our cholesterol. Dairy may increase heart disease risk because dairy products are the #1 source of saturated fat in the American diet, which the dairy industry has attempted to convince the public is untrue through misleading campaigns. The heme iron found in animal foods may also increase heart disease risk.

There are certain plant foods which may be especially protective against heart disease, especially foods high in nitrates, antioxidants (see also here), fiber, and potassium. These include greens such as kale, soy and other beans (see also here and here), nuts (see also here, here, here, and here, including peanut butter), tea (especially hibiscus and green tea), flax seeds (see also here), whole grains, red rice, citrus, Ceylon cinnamon, coffee (see also here), cocoa (not chocolate), dark chocolate, dried apples (see also here), Indian gooseberries (see also here), golden raisins and currants, berries, tomatoes, oatmeal, and some spices (such as turmeric – see also here). For additional benefits, look to cooking some vegetables (see also here), exercising 1 hour each day, and sleeping 7 hours each night.

While vitamin C supplements and multivitamins may be useless but harmless, we should probably avoid vitamin A, E, and beta-carotene supplements. Also associated with adverse cardiac consequences: coconut oil (see here) and coconut milk, dark fish in particular, Premarin, salt (see also here), high fat meals (including olive oil), BPA in plastics, and smoking. Alcohol appears to possibly be protective against heart disease but is not recommended because it increases the risk of cancer.

Cholesterol



Michael Greger M.D. · Last Updated on March 15, 2016




Why do we need to lower our cholesterol? Because high levels may raise heart disease risk, the number one cause of death in the U.S.  Higher buildup of cholesterol in our blood appears to be linked to higher atherosclerosis in our coronary arteries. Cholesterol crystallization may be what causes atherosclerotic plaque rupture, the trigger for heart attacks. Regardless of total cholesterol level, LDL (low-density lipoprotein or “bad” cholesterol may be a risk factor for heart attacks.

Data suggests that cholesterol levels can never be too low. The average U.S. blood cholesterol level is so high that a large part of the “normal population” is at high risk of coronary heart disease. The safe level for total cholesterol is likely 150 or lower; the optimal LDL level may be 50-70.

High cholesterol may be linked to increased risk of:
•Abdominal aortic aneurism
•Adverse skin effects
•Alzheimer’s disease
•Breast cancer
•Declining kidney function
•DNA damage
•Gallstones
•Inflammation
•Lower back pain
•Periodontitis
•Sexual dysfunction
•Type 2 diabetes

The American diet is so high in cholesterol-raising foods that even children may show signs of atherosclerosis. Rare genetic conditions can give people high cholesterol no matter what they eat, but for most people, poor dietary choices seem to be the main culprit behind their high cholesterol.

Low carb diets seem to significantly raise “bad” cholesterol levels. For Americans, food prepared at home may have less cholesterol than food eaten at fast-food and sit-down restaurants. Eliminating saturated fat and dietary cholesterol can greatly lower cholesterol levels in the blood.

A person trying to reduce cholesterol may want to be cautious of consuming meat, dairy products, chicken, and eggs. Switching from beef to chicken or fish may not lower cholesterol. Eggs may be one of the top sources of cholesterol, with just half an egg going over the safety limit.

Coconut oil and non-filtered coffee may raise cholesterol levels, although olive oil and nut consumption does not seem to have an effect. Red yeast rice is not recommended, as the lovastatin dosing in it is unreliable.

A plant-based diet high in fiber appears to lower total and LDL cholesterol. Unlike animal foods, plant foods do not contain dietary cholesterol.

Specific foods linked to lower cholesterol include:
•Acai berries
•Amla or Indian gooseberries
•Apples and dried apples
•Ceylon cinnamon
•Cocoa
•Defatted coconut flakes
•Green and hibiscus tea
•Kale
•Kiwis 
•Legumes, including beans
•Nuts, specifically Brazil nuts, walnuts, and almonds
•Seeds including sesame seeds, pistachio nuts, flaxseeds
•Water with baking soda
•Whole barley, whole oats

Dr. Dean Ornish, the late Dr. Walter Kempner, and the director of the Framingham Heart Study have all promoted plant-based diets for their heart-healthy benefits. Many doctors may not be aware of this essential life-saving information, although this may be changing.

Cholesterol-lowering drugs, such as statins, appear to be far less effective than generally assumed and may have side effects such as increased breast cancer risk. Diet and/or lifestyle changes may be as effective as statins.

Arthritis



Michael Greger M.D. · Last Updated on July 21, 2015





Animal products, including eggs, dairy, meat, and animal protein in general may increase inflammation. A single meal of meat, eggs, or dairy may cause a spike of inflammation within hours that can stiffen one’s arteries. Several factors may account for this effect, including heme iron, endotoxins, saturated fat, high bacteria load, TMAO, tapeworms, advanced glycation end products or AGEs, and NeuGc, a foreign meat that may increase the risk of heart disease and cancer.

A plant-based diet may improve or even eliminate arthritis symptoms. Specifically, turmeric may provide people with as much relief as medications for osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis. Avocados, berries and flaxseed oil have also been shown to be helpful in decreasing general arthritis symptoms.

Arthritis may be triggered by the Yersinia bacteria found in pork products. Avoiding animal products may prevent the onset of auto-immune conditions. Rheumatoid arthritis may also be improved with potassium supplementation and cilantro.

Animal foods are rich in purines, which are associated with increased gout risk. This is why gout patients may see an improvement in symptoms when they switch to a plant-based diet. Ingestion of cherries, or cherry juice, appears to be a side effect free treatment option for gout.

Osteoarthritis appears to respond to anti-inflammatory foods, for example, rose hips. Studies also have shown improvement of symptoms of osteoarthritis through the addition of açai berries to the diet.

If you are going to eat meat make sure that it is cooked properly.
Broiled or baked over fried.
Never eat raw meat due to the risk of food poisoning.
Buy meat that is as fresh as possible and store quickly after buying. 
If you intend on marinating meat, make sure to put it in a bowl of ice to help reduce the chance of it getting to warm in the refrigerator while marinating. 
Remember to always wash meat off before preparing
Never cut meat on the same cutting board or surface that you will cut up your vegetables on to avoid cross contamination.
Always was surfaces off with a  solution of 1:10 ratio of bleach to water to kill germs.
Always wash utensils in hot soap water. Water temperature should be no less than 120 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure that germs are killed off.
Here are a couple of charts to help with the proper temperatures for cooking meat.

Four lifestyle habits—not smoking, not being obese, 30 minutes of exercise a day, and eating plenty of fruits, veggies, whole grains, and little or no meat—can in effect turn back the clock 14 years. Of these four habits, diet may be the most important  for DNA health. The more servings of fruits, vegetables, and beans we consume, the longer we may live. A plant-based diet appears to help preserve muscle mass, boost immunity, repair DNA faster, slow the process of aging, meaning one can enjoy not just a longer life, but a healthier one.

The enzyme TOR (Target of Rapamycin), which promotes cellular growth and proliferation throughout our lives, can be influenced by diet. Consuming milk and other animal products has been found to upregulate the activity of TOR, and may increase the risk of a variety of cancers. Reducing animal protein consumption on the other hand, lowers TOR activity to an extent similar to caloric restriction and exercise.

Cooked in particular ways, poultry, pork, seafood, and beef can be the most concentrated dietary sources of AGEs, Advanced Glycation End products, also known as glycotoxins, which may accelerate the aging process. These may be reasons why meat consumption is associated with living a significantly shorter life with increased cancer mortality, increased heart disease mortality, and increased overall mortality.

Restricting methionine intake (largely by restricting animal products) is strategy for extending our lives. Managing stress through activities such as meditation could in effect reverse the aging of our DNA. Seventh-Day Adventists in California, a mostly vegetarian population, may have the highest life expectancy on any formally described population.

Antioxidant pills have no apparent effect on aging, though antioxidant-rich foods may. Some foods that appear to protect against aging include: berries (for the brain, skin, and eyes), grains (for protection against Alzheimer’s disease) turmeric, corn and spinach (for macular degeneration), nutritional yeast, watercress, cocoa, green and yellow vegetables (to prevent wrinkles).



Excellent article Clay. Thank you for sharing. It has been found in recent studies, that a diet steady in red meat and pork, in particular, has be related to the cause of such diseases as Alzheimer and other neurological disorders that affect not only the brain but the entire nervous system. Most drugs on the market that are made to help people with such neurological disorders have such horrible side-effects that they are worse than having the disease itself. In my line of practice, I have found that a daily dose of coconut, in any form, helps to retain and even enhance memory, boost metabolism and reduces cravings in people that are trying to loose weight. Keep up with the great articles. I will add as much as I can to help everyone in their daily journey of living.

Weight Loss



Michael Greger M.D. · Last Updated on February 25, 2016





Because of the addictive nature of fatty foods, sugars, and artificial sweeteners, the average body mass index for the general U.S. population is nearing the obesity cut-off, and even children as young as five are now getting bariatric surgery. Obesity metabolically contributes to insulin resistance because of free fatty acid spillover into the blood. Even vegetarians are, on average, overweight in the United States but those eating more strictly plant-based diets average an ideal body weight. Meat has been found to increase the risk of being overweight, obesity, and obesity related diseases. This may be due, in part, to the consumption of chickens which are themselves obese and may be infected by an obesity-causing virus.

Conversely, plant-based diets may help prevent weight gain, promote weight loss (even insidiously), and maintain desired weight by increasing resting energy expenditure, lowering energy gain, up-regulating metabolism, improving satiety, preventing fat cells from taking up fat, and improving plasma adiponectin levels (a hormone that helps control weight). Ancillary benefits may include less painful periods. Ordinary foods such as oatmeal and beans can produce extraordinary benefits. Our tastes can acclimate to healthy changes, such as substituting cocoa for chocolate (using healthier sources of fat and sugar). You do not need to give up snacks, if you do it right, with nuts and dried fruit.

Healthy food choices can raise your resting metabolic rate and help burn fat with no additional effort. Soy foods may help double weight loss and promote abdominal fat loss while protecting against breast cancer. In addition to consuming a primarily plant-based diet, adding nuts and dates to your diet and drinking green tea on a daily basis may be useful in the prevention of obesity. Eating more slowly will help you feel full on less food. The beneficial gut microflora established and maintained by a plant diet rich in flavonoids and arginine promote fat loss. Nuts do not appear to lead to the weight gain one might expect given their caloric density. Spicy foods may also help activate our brown adipose tissue, facilitating weight loss.

Diet supplements do not seem to work. And, caloric restriction may not protect against cancer as well as a healthy plant-based diet. A paleo diet may undermine the benefits of exercise. The low-carb Atkins diet is associated in greater mortality from all causes, although replacing its animal fat and protein with plant sources does improve survival in plant-based, low carb diet adherents. Even vigorous exercise may be less important than diet in reducing obesity or slowing cellular aging (the shortening of our telomeres).

I think low fat diets is the way to go.

Definitely, Clay.

one has to protect their health.

Instead of tinned beans try buying them uncooked, soak them over night and remove any that have floated to the top and then cook according to the directions and season to taste. I like pinto, great northern white, navy and lima beans. This way you don't have any added preservatives, salt or sugars.

I like tuna or beans on my jacket potatoes when I'm being good. Dad can't have beans on his though as he's diabetic & too much sugar is put in tinned beans. Low-fat diets are also good for people who are at risk of heart disease or who are suffering from heart disease, Clay.


I think low fat diets is the way to go.

Definitely, Clay.

Tonight I would likeep to touch on a subject that most people are embarrassed to talk about.
Constipation. I know everyone deals.with it at some point in time. It can occur from bad dietary habits, Opioid use or even from a medical condition such as IBS. Here are some tips to help relieve, reduce and resolve the problem.
1. Dried Apricots- Are highly rated in my book to help relieve constipation.
2. Prune juice- Put it in you coffee or drink it straight.
3. Grape Koolaide- Yes it works...Lol
4. Diet high in fiber- Leafy green vegetables and pectin fruits with the skins. Such as apples and peaches.
5. Yogurt- With the enzymes that yogurt has, eaten daily will help regulate the system.
6. Exersice- Daily will help reduce the incidences of constipation.
7. Last but not least- water, water, water....
Hope this helps anyone that suffers from irregular bowel movements and constipation.

I find coconut helps me when I'm like that. Mother finds liquorice helps her in this condition.

Thanks for all the valuable information Clay. People that suffer from leg cramps are often found to be low in potassium.  Also a low potassium level can result in seizure activity. Everyone should have their levels checked annually.

agreed lady RedDahlia.

I picked up a bottle of potassium the other day when I was at walmart.


it cant hurt to supplement your diet with potassium as we get older.

Skim milk




The DASH diet recommends increasing the amount of calcium-rich foods that you eat. Skim milk is an excellent source of calcium and is low in fat. These are both important elements of a diet for lowering blood pressure.

Swap out your higher-fat milk for skim milk, or if you don’t care for milk, eat more low-fat or nonfat yogurt. Just make sure to avoid yogurt that is high in sugar.

Beets



Researchers found that people with high blood pressure saw significant improvements from drinking beetroot juice. The study authors found that the nitrates in the juice brought down the participants’ blood pressure within just 24 hours.

You can juice your own beets or simply cook and eat the whole root. Beetroot is delicious when roasted or when added to stir-fries and stews.

Remember to use caution when handling beets. Their deep red color could stain your hands and clothes.

Potatoes



Potatoes are high in potassium and magnesium, two minerals that can help to lower your blood pressure. They are also high in fiber, which is necessary for an overall healthy diet.

Enjoy a baked potato as the centerpiece of your dinner. Instead of fattening and salty butter and sour cream, try adding plain yogurt or salsa for flavor.

Berries



Berries, especially blueberries, are rich in natural compounds called flavonoids. One study found that consuming these compounds might prevent hypertension, and possibly help to reduce high blood pressure.

Blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries are easy to add to your diet. Put them on your cereal every morning. Keep frozen berries on hand for a quick and healthful dessert
Title: Re: RedDahlia Nurse's Corner
Post by: Clay Death on July 05, 2016, 02:27:18 pm
Leafy greens



Foods high in potassium give you a better ratio of potassium to sodium. This allows your kidneys to get rid of more sodium through your urine, which lowers your blood pressure.

Leafy greens such as romaine lettuce, arugula, kale, turnip greens, collard greens, and spinach are high in potassium.

Opt for fresh or frozen greens because canned vegetables often have added sodium. Frozen vegetables contain as many nutrients as fresh vegetables and they are easy to store.

I have had the same soil problems in the past, living in Ohio, Oklahoma isn't much different. A lot of clay soils here. I compensate by adding compost to the soil to help aerate it and give it more nutrients for growing. Composting is easy and can be started in a small area.

I have been looking into carrots and carrot juice. I had some raw carrots today and also a glass of carrot juice.




Carrots are one of the most popular, versatile vegetables in the world! Whether they are eaten raw, cooked or juiced, people from nearly every culture have consumed carrots — in their many forms — throughout history.

While carrots are known for their signature orange color, they actually come in a variety of colors. They can be found in shades of purple, yellow, white and red; however, you will most often see these in the U.S. when you shop at your local farmer’s market.

Carrots get their color from antioxidants called carotenoids. One of these carotenoids is beta carotene, a precursor to active vitamin A that is responsible for many of the carrot and carrot juice benefits that we know about today. Many studies have shown that beta carotene is crucial for improving immunity in the body, protecting skin and eye health, and fighting free radical damage that can cause various forms of chronic diseases like cancer and heart disease. (1)

Carrots have a wealth of valuable nutrition and when you juice them, you can get a concentrated dose of their healing power. From balancing blood sugar, improving blood health, relieving congestion, fighting inflammation and cleansing the kidneys to protecting eyesight, brain function and fighting Leukemia, carrot juice benefits can help nearly every part of your body!

I was asked by one of our members for recipes for people with diabetes. Her is one of my favorites.  Its very easy to make and is delicious. If you want to try it and let me know what you think that would be great. I am going to try and put up a recipe daily that is not only heart healthy, but good for anyone wanting to help control and maintain diabetes and loose weight in the process.
Its not always what you eat that is the problem, its how it is prepared and how much you eat. Exercising daily, even if it just walking around the block, will also aid in maintaining a healthy balance and out look on life.


Roasted Sweet Potato Corn Chowder
     
Ingredients
1 h 30 m 10 servings 143 cals
•    2 sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
•    1 tablespoon corn oil
•    salt and pepper to taste
•    1 (12 ounce) package frozen corn kernels, thawed
•    1 cup water
•    1 tablespoon corn oil
•    1 1/2 cups finely diced celery
•    1 cup diced red onion
•    1/4 cup shallot, minced
•    1 tablespoon tomato paste
•    1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
•    3 cups vegetable broth
•    1 bay leaf
•    1 teaspoon salt
•    1 potato, peeled and cubed
•    2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
•    Add all ingredients to list
Directions

•   Prep 30 minutes
•   Cook 1 hour
•   Ready In 1 h 30 m

1.   Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Place the sweet potatoes into a 9x13 inch baking dish, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of corn oil, and season with salt and pepper. Stir to coat the sweet potatoes in oil.
2.   Roast in the preheated oven until the sweet potatoes are golden and tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir occasionally as they cook so the sweet potatoes cook evenly.
3.   Meanwhile, measure out 1 cup of corn kernels and set aside. Place the remaining corn into a blender, and puree with the water until smooth; set aside.
4.   Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of corn oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the celery, onion, and shallot. Cook and stir until the onion has softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and dried thyme leaves; cook 1 minute more. Pour in the vegetable broth, corn puree, bay leaf, salt, and cubed potato. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the potato is tender, 25 to 35 minutes.
5.   Once the potato is tender, remove and discard the bay leaf. Stir in the whole corn kernels, sweet potato, and chopped parsley. Return to a simmer and season to taste with salt and pepper before serving.

There’s no limit to what vegetables can do for the body. They are packed with vitamins and nutrients that promote good overall health.

Detoxing is a way to “recharge, rejuvenate, and renew,” says Linda Page, ND, PhD, naturopathic doctor, lecturer, and author of Detoxification. "Anybody can benefit from a cleansing.” Some studies suggest that "detoxing" is a myth, but everyone agrees that drinking a lot of liquids is good for your health, and drinking plenty of plain water and fruit and vegetable juices will aid your digestion and have other good effects on your body — and if these things do help to detoxify you, so much the better.


You can’t go wrong with a fruit smoothie, and there’s no limit to what vegetables can do for you. Any doctor will tell you that kale, broccoli, and spinach are some of the healthiest green vegetables to make smoothies and juices with.
 

Since many bottled and ready-made drinks often contain added sweeteners and other additions, making all-natural drinks at home is recommended. We’ll explain which drinks are the best and why.



Water



(https://www.camelotfantasies.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1322.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fu572%2Fspartacus120%2Fcamelot%2520forum%2Fdecimus-300%2Fmax-9000%2Fdetox-2_zpsbxxg1n0f.jpg&hash=d1d17811b0d94a6493a38e4b620bccbd7d938d03) (http://s1322.photobucket.com/user/spartacus120/media/camelot%20forum/decimus-300/max-9000/detox-2_zpsbxxg1n0f.jpg.html)


Water is the most natural way to "detox" because it promotes good digestion by dissolving toxins and waste particles in the body and flushing them out through the digestive tract.



Lemon Water


(https://www.camelotfantasies.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1322.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fu572%2Fspartacus120%2Fcamelot%2520forum%2Fdecimus-300%2Fmax-9000%2Fdetox-3_zpskgvb01mt.jpg&hash=70625abfa9c00e3ec93462a73664432a6d89e3bb) (http://s1322.photobucket.com/user/spartacus120/media/camelot%20forum/decimus-300/max-9000/detox-3_zpskgvb01mt.jpg.html)

While water alone is good, squeezing a bit of lemon juice into your glass will speed up the detoxification process. Lemons contain a large concentration of an antioxidant called d-limonene, which helps breaks down toxic substances in the liver. They also contain lots of citric acid, which is known to improve absorption of a toxin-fighting molecule called aluminum hydroxide, the active ingredient in most antacids.

Lime Juice


Flavonoids found in lime’s fragrant oils cause the mouth to water, activating digestive saliva before you even taste the lime. Like lemons, limes contain citric acid, which helps absorb aluminum hydroxide. They are also made up of eight kinds of liminoids, which are compounds that help stimulate an enzyme in the liver believed to deactivate cancer-causing toxins.

Green tea contains polyphenols, which are antioxidants that rid the body of free radicals that can modify, damage, and kill cells, potentially leading to cancer and other diseases.

Orange Juice


Given its high levels of vitamins and minerals, orange juice is a great nutritional source as well as a "detox" drink. The beta-carotene in orange juice can help prevent cell damage within the body.
