Bread Alert: Gluten could be deadly!

Know if you have gluten intolerance

All to often is gluten intolerance misdiagnosed.  Symptoms are mistaken for a different condition while the patient continues down the path that led to health problems in the first place.  Although some people are highly allergic to gluten and cannot have any in their diet at all, there are also varying degrees of sensitivity and many don't know that gluten is a problem for their health.  Aside from the fact that gluten can cause a great deal of inflammation, it also blocks the body from absorbing nutrients and has been also linked to excessive weight gain also known as "wheat belly."  There are several food and even non food products that contain gluten but it is worth the effort to eliminate it from your diet as much as possible.  There is a growing number of gluten free products and many gluten free breads taste even better than regular wheat or bleached flour breads.  Pastas, pancake mixes, and cereals are sold in major supermarkets that are gluten free and can soften the blow of removing wheat and other gluten containing foodstuff from your meal plan permanently.  Take action now!  Here are some symptoms of gluten intolerance.



-Dizziness and feeling off balance

-Gas and bloating 

-Feeling run down after eating a meal containing gluten

-Depression and anxiety

-Migraines

-Diagnosis of several different types of autoimmune disorders

-Hormone imbalances or infertility

-ADD

-Constipation

-Diagnosis of chronic fatigue or fibromyalgia

Death by sugar!

Some experts compare processed sugar to heavy drugs

Processed sugars are among the top unhealthy food components that are far too prevalent in the modern diet.  Diabetes, tooth decay, and even cancer are connected to the excessive consumption of processed and refined sugars.  Try to get your sweet fix by munching on some fresh berries, a banana, or an crisp juicy apple which all contain fiber that will balance out the natural sugars and provide a sustained natural energy boost.  Here are some of the negative effects of consuming processed sugar:

-Heightened diabetes risk

-Oral health problems

-Disrupted metabolism

-Faster aging

-Weakened immune system

-Heightened cancer risk

-Weight problems

-Kidney damage

-Skin problems

-Sleep disruption


Since sugar is separated from its nutritional components when it is refined, it is considered empty calories.  In fact, refined sugar actually requires the body to spend important nutrients in order to process the pure sugars which cause shock in the system.  Consuming fructose increases the uric acid presence in the body which can cause low level inflammation, leading to various other health problems.  Consuming processed sugars over a long period of time creates a suitable environment within the body for infections and bacteria to thrive.  Acidic blood, which is achieved through a poor diet usually consisting of too much processed and even natural sugars, greatly increases the risk for developing cancer as well.  There is a misconception that juicing fruits is a healthy practice, but the fiber from the fruits must be consumed along with the plant based sugars to help digest and moderate blood sugar absorption.  Instead, eat or blend the fruit and save green vegetables for the juicing.

The Health Benefits of Smoking Marijuana

Smoking marijuana has numerous health benefits and they are: 

A lot of people say cannabis has no medicinal value when it is smoked. Let's finally put this myth to bed. Is smoking weed good for you? Well.... It depends...

1. Cancer 

There are a lot of people that say smoking pot can cause lung cancer because your inhaling smoke, like cigarettes. This simply isn’t true. Cigarette smoke causes cancer because the tobacco is radiated whereas marijuana isn’t. In fact, the American Association for Cancer Research has found the marijuana actually works to slow down tumor growth in the lungs, breasts, and brain considerably. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/04/070417193338.htm 

2. Seizures 

Marijuana is a muscle relaxant and has “antispasmodic” qualities which have proven to be a very effective treatment of seizures. There are actually countless cases of people suffering from seizures that have only been able to function better through the use of marijuana. 

3. Migraines 

Since medicinal marijuana was legalized in California, doctors have reported that they have been able to treat more than 300,000 cases of migraines that conventional medicine could not do. 

http://www.salem-news.com/articles/june302008/leveque_migraines_6-30-08.php 

4. Glaucoma 

Marijuana’s treatment of glaucoma has been one of the best documented. There aren't any valid study that disprove marijuana’s powerful effects on glaucoma patients. http://www.eyecareamerica.org/eyecare/treatment/alternative-therapies/marijuana-glaucoma.cfm 

5. Multiple Sclerosis 

Marijuana’s effects on multiple sclerosis patients became better documented when former talk-show host, Montel Williams began to use pot to treat his MS. Marijuana works to stop the neurological effects and muscle spasms that come from the fatal disease. http://insciences.org/article.php?article_id=4963 

6. Tourette’s and OCD 

Just like marijuana can treat seizures and multiple sclerosis, marijuana’s effects slow down the tics in those suffering from Tourette’s, and the obsessive neurological symptoms in people with OCD http://preventdisease.com/news/articles/marjuana_tourettes.shtml 

7. ADD and ADHD 

A documented USC study showes that marijuana is not only a perfect alternative for Ritalin but treats the disorder without any of the negative side effects of the pharmaceutical. http://pr.cannazine.co.uk/20080205147/cannabis-news/marijuana-replaces-ritalin-in-treatment-for-add/adhd-video.html 

8. IBS and Crohn’s 

Marijuana has shown that it can help with symptoms of the chronic diseases as it stops nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. http://www.safeaccessnow.org/article.php?id=4561 

9. Alzheimer’s 

The Scripps Institute, in 2006, proved that the THC found in marijuana works to prevent Alzheimer’s by blocking the deposits in the brain that cause the disease. http://www.scripps.edu/news/press/080906.html 

10. Premenstrual Syndrome 

Just like marijuana is used to treat IBS, it can be used to treat the cramps and discomfort. Using marijuana for PMS actually goes back to the days of Queen Victoria. http://www.cannabisculture.com/v2/articles/1376.html

Top 10 Foods Highest in Iron

Iron's main purpose as a mineral circulates oxygen throughout the body. Iron deficiency, even a slight reduction, can cause anemia (fatigue/weakness), whilst more severe depletion can lead to organ failure. On the other hand, too much iron intake can lead to production of harmful free radicals, affecting heart and liver function and interfering with metabolism. However overdose is rare as the body is able regulate iron uptake and the harmful effects usually come from taking too many supplements. The safest and healthiest way to increase iron is by eating foods that are naturally rich with it. Iron is better absorbed from heme (meat) sources, but non-heme (plant) iron causes less damage to the body as it is easier to regulate. 18 milligrams (mg) is the recommended percent daily value. Below is a list of high iron foods. For more high iron foods see the lists of high iron foods by nutrient density, iron rich foods (heme and non-heme), and the list of fruits and vegetables high in iron.

3.  Squash and Pumpkin Seeds. Sesame, Sunflower , and Flax Seeds. 
4.  Nuts; Cashew, Pine, Hazelnut, Peanut, Almond  Pine nuts, Hazelnuts, Peanuts , Almonds , Pistachios, and Macadamia. 
5.   Beef and Lamb (lean cuts are preferable).
6.  Beans and Pulses;White Beans, Lentils, Soybeans, Kidney beans, Garbanzo beans (Chickpeas) and Lima beans, Navy , Black Beans, Pinto, and Black-eyed Peas. 
7. Whole Grains, Fortified Cereals, and Bran Iron, Quinoa, Oatmeal, Barley , Rice , Bulgur , Buckwheat, and Millet. Try to choose fortified cereals and those from whole grains but be careful to avoid the more advertised brands as they can contain high sugar content. Bran from whole grains can harm absorption of iron supplements.It is important to remember to avoid whole grains if taking iron supplements. 
8.   Dark Leafy Greens; Spinach, Swiss Chard , Cooked Turnip Greens, Raw Kale, and Raw Beet Greens. 
9.  Dark Chocolate and Cocoa Powder
10.   Tofu without added calcium is better for iron absorption as calcium can inhibit the uptake of iron.

Top 10 Foods Highest in Riboflavin (Vitamin B2)

Feel free to upload these images to your social media pages with our link

Without enough Riboflavin you can't release energy from fat - carbohydrates and protein during metabolism. It's also used to change vitamin b6 and folate into forms the body can use.

#1: Yeast Extract Spread (Marmite) is a high protein food rich vitamin B1 (thiamin)  and a source of vitamin B12. In addition the spread is a good source of riboflavin (b2).

 #2: Liver The liver of most any animal is packed with vitamin B2. Lamb liver provides the most riboflavin (B2). (Obviously not all of us eat meat)

 #3: Dried Herbs, Spices, and Peppers are great. Add more dry herbs, paprika, or chili powder to all the dishes you eat. Dried ancho chilies contain the most riboflavin. Paprika follows then dried coriander, spearmint, parsley, and finally chili powder.

 #4: Almonds Almonds are also a great source of vitamin E, calcium, protein, zinc, magnesium, potassium, and copper.

 #5: Dry Roasted Soybeans (Edamame) low sodium varieties keep your blood pressure low. Dry roasted soybeans, or edamame are also a great source of riboflavin. (vitamin b2)


#6: Cheese (Roquefort, Brie, Limburger) Despite being a high cholesterol food, cheese is a good source of calcium, protein, vitamin B12, and vitamin B2. Roquefort provides the most riboflavin. Other high riboflavin cheeses are brie, Limburger, Camembert, Caraway cheese, Blue cheese, goat cheese, Romano, and finally Swiss cheese.

#7: Wheat Bran is high in fiber and is the top source of both vitamin b6 and magnesium. Wheat bran can most commonly be found in whole grain breads or bran muffins, but is also a great addition to hot breakfast cereals like oats, rye, and buckwheat. Crude wheat bran provides a great source of riboflavin.

 #8: Fish (Mackerel, Atlantic Salmon, Trout) Fish is a heart healthy food, a good source of protein, and rich in vitamins B1, B6, and B12. Mackerel has the most riboflavin followed by wild atlantic salmon and Trout.

 #9: Sesame Seeds are also high in calcium, iron, protein, copper, zinc, and vitamins B1, and B6.

#10: Sun-dried Tomatoes Sun-dried tomatoes are a high iron and potassium food.

Natural Treatments for Angular Cheilitis (Splits on the side of your mouth)

Angular cheilitis (also called perlèche, cheilosis or angular stomatitis) is an inflammatory lesion at the corner of the mouth, and often can occur on both sides. The condition starts as deep cracks or splits. In worse cases, the splits can bleed when the mouth is opened and shallow ulcers or crust may form. Angular chelitis may be caused by nutritional deficiencies, fungal infections, or (less commonly) bacterial infections. You should check with your doctor if to determine which problem you may have. Treatment for angular chelitis varies based on the cause of the condition.

Natural Treatments for Angular Cheilitis:

(Splits on the side of your mouth)

Causes: Although the sores of angular cheilitis may become infected by the fungus Candida albicans (thrush), or other pathogens, studies have linked the initial onset of angular cheilitis with nutritional deficiencies, namely riboflavin (vitamin B2) and iron deficiency anemia, which in turn may be evidence of poor diets or malnutrition (e.g. celiac disease)



So obviously you can get this condition for many reasons. If it's because you lack the proper nutrition you will most likely want to try some of this:

Increase your intake of these 3 vitamins and minerals:

Zinc deficiency is also associated with angular cheilitis. Angular cheilitis can also be a sign of anorexia nervosa and/or bulimia nervosa due both to malnutrition and as a side effect of constant vomiting.

Cheilosis may also be part of a group of symptoms (upper esophageal web, iron deficiency anemia, glossitis, and cheilosis) defining the condition called Plummer-Vinson syndrome (aka Paterson-Brown-Kelly syndrome). Angular cheilitis can be caused by bacteria, but is more commonly a fungal infection.

It can also be caused by medications which dry the skin, including isotretinoin (Accutane), an analog of vitamin A. Less commonly, it is associated with primary hypervitaminosis A, which can occur when large amounts of liver (including cod liver oil and other fish oils) are regularly consumed or as a result from an excess intake of vitamin A in the form of vitamin supplements. Treatment of angular cheilitis varies depending on the cause. For minor cases caused by bacterial infection, applying a topical antibiotic to the area for several days is sufficient to treat the infection and heal the lesions. Minor cases caused by a fungal infection can be treated by over-the-counter antifungal creams (e.g. clotrimazole)

Health benefits of taking naps!

Time to put the world on pause and take a while to recharge!

One of the secrets to long life that centurions share, besides a proper nutritional profile, is taking naps.  Naps seem to accompany success.  Some famous nappers include:  Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison, and Ronald Reagan!

The hustle and bustle of business life can really tax the body and test the mind.  In the United States, sleep deprivation is prevalent.  The pressure to perform, make quotas, and deliver results often translates to very early mornings and late nights at the grindstone.  It seems that when productivity and earning needs a boost, the first thing to suffer is our sleep, but could that be more costly in the long run?  Studies show that the risk and seriousness of some diseases significantly increases when inadequate sleep over a long period of time is added to the equation.  It is thought that bad sleepers are more likely to have heart disease and even 5 times more likely to develop type 2 diabetes than those who catch all their needed Zs.  There are many figures tossed out about how many hours of sleep you need every night, but it seems to hover around 7 or 8 hours from one expert to the next.  The best bet is to not let your nightly routine fall below 6 hours as deep cycle sleep, known as Rapid Eye Movement or REM sleep, is crucial for brain function and we simply perform at a lower level mentally when we are behind on catching REM sleep.  If you can find a place where you will not be disturbed and get from 15 minutes to an hour nap, it can make a tremendous difference.  A NASA study concluded that naps could improve performance of pilots up to a whopping 30% and their alertness by 95%!  15 to 20 minute naps can have a huge impact on your health and sharpness, but if you are behind on sleep, try to take an hour.

India's Rice Revolution - Without GMO's

Sumant Kumar harvested his rice last year in Darveshpura ( north-east India ) and was shocked. Kumar is a shy - young farmer from Nalanda district of India's poorest state Bihar. He is reported to have used only farmyard manure and without any herbicides managed to grow 22.4 tonnes of rice on one hectare of land. This was a world record and great news! Non-GMO and no pesticides! WIN!

His record not only beat the 19.4 tonnes achieved by the "father of rice", but also the World Bank-funded scientists at the International Rice Research Institute in the Philippines, and anything achieved by the biggest European and American seed and GM companies!!

The Top 10 Worst Sources Of Aspartame

This ingredient is the most contested FDA approved substance in history.

1. Chewing Gum - 
2. Flavored water 
3. Sugar-Free Products 
4. Drink Powders
5. Cooking Sauces 
6. Childrens medicines 
7. Cereals 
8. Yogurts 
9. Diet Sodas 
10. Tabletop sweeteners

There is nothing sweet about this artificial sweetener!

Did you know that aspartame can mix with other chemicals such as monosodium glutamate and cause even worst reactions within the body?  Aspartame has been linked to several different cancers and even degenerative brain conditions.  Consuming aspartame regularly will burn out neurons and has been linked to headaches, mood alterations and even brain tumors.  Although it is touted as a healthy and sweeter alternative to sugar, this chemical actually causes diabetes and may also cause obesity.  If you are surprised than maybe consider the fact that aspartame was developed in a bio-weapons lab!  And what's more, part of the process for manufacturing aspartame is to harvest excrement from bacteria and treat it with more chemicals.  Unfortunately this chemical, originally sold by Monsanto Corp, is now being re-branded under different names to avoid the reputation behind the poison.  There are currently efforts underway to include aspartame in milk without labeling it, even though aspartame is contained in many products already that do not list it as one of the ingredients.  Next time you are shopping, be weary of "light" or "diet" products in the grocery isle, and make sure you check the ingredients.

How using a sauna can improve your health

If you are not in the hot seat, you may want to be...

Our environment is filled with pollution.  Among these are air, water, food, sound, and bad attitudes.  It should be no surprise that heat can help melt the stress away and help us flush out toxins.

Saunas are great for getting away from the grind of the day and collect your thoughts.  The stress relief is just one part of the overall benefit from regular sauna use.  The heating effect causes improved blood circulation which can help improve healing.  Also, heat has been known to relieve pain, especially resulting from strenuous physical activity.  Sauna use is also thought to help ease pain resulting from arthritis.  When the body's temperature is raised a certain amount, endorphins are released which help to relax and relieve pain.  The increased blood flow also improves skin health while toxins and bacteria are removed from the pores via sweat.  Using a sauna can improve heart health, it has been shown to effect the heart rate and can be used to strengthen heart muscles and is believed to help people enjoy a deeper sleep.  Always be careful to not stay in the sauna for too long and avoid saunas if you are pregnant or have some health problems.
