Healthy people 2010

Take a look at yourself and see if you can improve your health in 2010. Over Christmas and New year we all eat and drink too much, it is nice but it has to come to an end.

I know that I have put on weight, and I feel unhealthy. My asthma is worse, as is pain in my stomach, which could indicate my ulcer is returning. I do not smoke which is a good thing. I intend to cut down on alcohol which should also help.

I will start to take Odourless garlic supplements 1000mg. This should help my Ulcer and help with my Asthma. It should also lower my cholesterol level and my blood pressure, which I know has been about 160/100, much too high. It will also lower my resistance to infection such as colds and flu.

So what else can I do?. Exercise is important. I need to do this every day. I will plan to walk about 30 minutes every day. I intend to start doing breathing exercises as explained in an earlier post.

Think positive and think healthy in 2010.

My favourite veg

Its Christmas time once again and as usual I will be having my favourite vegetable with my dinner, the brussel sprout. As a nutrient the brussel sprout contain an excellent source of vitamin c, b1 and beta carotene.

Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) is essential for energy. As an antioxidant it can help to prevent arthritis and atherosclerosis caused by free radical damage. Together with vitamin c it can help to protect from the damage caused by smoking, and drinking alcohol. Vitamin B1 also promotes a feeling of optimism, helps to overcome stress, depression, anxiety, and poor memory.

Other souses of vitamin B1 are from whole grains, brewers yeast, rice bran and peanuts.

So this Christmas add a few brussel sprouts to your Christmas dinner. Happy Christmas to all.

Acid reflux is in the news again

Acid reflux has been in the news again. A few years back I used to wake in the night with a terrible burning sensation at the back of my throat. It used to make me cough and feel nauseated.

My GP sent me for a procedure at hospital known as Endoscopy. This is when a small flexible tube is sent down via your esophagus into your stomach to see what the problem is. In my case it was a stomach ulcer, which can be treated with this hospital procedure followed by some medication, and everything was then fine.

If anyone is about to have this procedure and your are worried or anxious about it please let me know, as I can reassure you that there is no need to worry.

So what can you do from a natural point of view to help acid reflux?
If you want to eliminate acid reflux, start eating more food that has living enzymes. Eat organic, fresh, raw fruits and vegetables.

More natural cures for disease

Turmeric (Curcuma Longa) is a natural healing spice traditionally used by both Indian and Chinese systems of medicine to treat inflammations and cure sprains. It contains a yellow pigment curcumin, an active ingredient that has been used for centuries.

The curcuminoids in Turmeric are a group of phenolic acids that have been found to have unique antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. They retard age-related diseases by preventing free radical damage, inhibit the growth of cancer cells, protect the Liver from toxins, help to dissolve gallstones, and alleviate joint swelling.

Studies with HIV patients have shown that turmaric also has a beneficial effect in the treatment of AIDS.

Yet another possible cancer cure

Scientists in the Department of Urology at the New York Medical ­Collegehave found that the Maitake Mushroom can shrink tumours by as much as 75%. The latest study is published in the ­British Journal of Urology.

The breakthrough could have major ­implications for two of Britain’s biggest ­cancer killers and lead to new treatments. It is hoped that the mushroom could help victims of prostate and bladder cancers, these two cancers claim the lives of 15,000 victims every year in the UK. Maitake mushrooms are common in Chinese and ­Japanese cooking and have also been used to treat blood pressure and liver disease.

Vital Nutrients

GABA (Gamma aminobutyric acid) is an amino acid supplement that is gaining popularity for its anti-anxiety effects. Gaba is produced in the body from glutamic acid and acts as an inhibitory neurotransmitter. That is, it slows down activity in the part of the brain called the lymbic system, which is our emotional alarm bell.

Gaba is able to reduce stressful feelings such as anxiety, fear and panic. As a natural tranquillizer, Gaba can partially replace valium by binding to the same brain receptors, providing tranquillization. Gaba is available from health food stores.

Natural aphrodisiac

Saffron (Crocus Sativus) is a small perennial plant cultivated in many parts of the world. It is a medicinal herb with several benefits. Traditionally, its flower stigmas are a well known aphrodisiac. Saffron is also believed to strengthen the appetite, soothe the alimentary canal, increase bile flow, clear liver stagnancy, help menopausal difficulties and relieve phlegm.

Saffron contains a poison that can damage the kidneys and nerves, and therefore should only be used sparingly.

5-HTP IS MAKING ME BETTER

Ok so I have been taking the amino acid 5-HTP now for two weeks and at first I thought my anxiety had not improved. However now after two weeks I have to say that in a stressful situation I am much calmer, and I don't feel as if I am going to panic. The feeling that I like the most is that I am not worrying about anything nearly as much.

I have enough tablets for about another two weeks, so I think I will be getting some more. 5-HTP is available from health food stores although it is much cheaper online.

Has anyone else had experience of 5-HTP.

As you execute these motions turn your head towards the left side as far as you can, without hurting yourself.
Inhale once again feeling the air expanding your stomach. Exhale pushing your hands in and up into your stomach, and this time turning your head towards the right side.

USEFUL FOODS AND SUPPLEMENTS TO CONTROL STRESS.

If you seek a more relaxed lifestyle, you should start by caring for yourself on the inside, and feed your body with good fuel.

When most of us say we are experiencing too much stress, we mean we are overloaded with work, personal problems, and life in general. Of course, a certain amount of stress can be stimulating and even exciting. But when we have stressors without a break, a host of symptoms from irritability and an inability to concentrate to a fast heartbeat, headaches and a reduced resistance to infections can develop. So it's not hard to suspect a causal connection between feeling stressed out and showing physical symptoms.

Useful vitamins and minerals are vitamin c, a good daily dose to take would be 500mg. Vitamin B6,B12,B5. Minerals- Selenium, Iron, Zinc, Iodine, Calcium.

Super health foods are Almonds, Apricots, Avocado, Barley, Beetroot, Broccoli, Carrots, Celery, Cider vinegar, Garlic, Grapes, Kelp, Lecithin, Molasses, Oats, Potatoes, Rabbit, (yes rabbit!!), Spirulina, and wheat germ.

It is an inhibitor of AKT or protein kinase B, and this has been recognized as a molecule that spreads over the tumor cell, Deguelin contains a none toxic effect, However, if patients overdose it may cause nerve damage, lung and heart disease, so that a reasonable dose should be taken even if it is a natural substance.

HELP FOR ALZHEIMERS DISEASE

The Alzheimer's Association has developed a list of ten warning signs of Alzheimer's disease:

* Memory loss that affects job skills.
* Difficulty in performing familiar tasks.
* Problems with language.
* Confusion about time and place.
* Poor or diminished judgment.
* Problems with abstract thinking.
* Misplacing of things.
* Changes in mood or behavior.
* Changes in personality.
* Loss of initiative.

Natural help is available for Alzheimer's disease. Choline is a lipotropic B vitamin which emulsifies fats and helps to transport fat globules to cells. It is needed for nerve transmission. Choline reduces cholesterol and maintains a healthy liver,kidneys and nerves. It also reduces oestrogen thus decreasing breast lumps and menstrual cramps. It is also used in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and to improve the memory.

Vitamin E can also be useful. A recent study has shown that a daily dose of 2000 i.u. of vitamin E can slow the deterioration of Alzheimer's.

Vitamin B12 is also known to help.

See my earlier post about how coffee has been reported as being helpful to treat Alzheimer's disease.
