Sleep - Ignore This Essential Habit and Your Health Will Eventually Decline Seven tips to improve your sleep are listed Previous research has also demonstrated that sleep has a profound impact on the human stress-immune relationship. People who were more likely to awaken during the first sleep cycle also tended to have lower levels of natural killer cells When sepsis was induced in the mice, the severity of the disease was found to be dependent on the timing of the induction. Severity directly correlated with cyclical changes in TLR9. This may help explain why septic patients are known to be at higher risk of dying between the hours of 2 am and 6 am A new study shows how lack of sleep may be directly associated with your chances of getting sick, as the circadian clock of mice was found to be tied to the rise and fall of an essential immune system gene (TLR9) that helps sense and ward off bacteria and viruses For the full article go to Sleep for Health For article on Sleeplessness
Ban
on Sugary Sodas in NY? This
article is asking people to weigh in on this, but it also has good
information on exactly what these additives to soft drinks really do. The proposal would exempt diet drinks—not to mention fruit-based drinks, dairy-based drinks, and alcoholic beverages, no matter how many calories they contain. There will then be a three-month comment period before the Board votes on the proposal. If the Board agrees, the ban could be in effect as soon as next March. See article Ban on Sodas
Health Myths: Myth: Fat is bad, low fat and fat free is good. Myth: Foods
with cholesterol like eggs and beef are bad Truth: Eat quality whole food. Ingredients in every food was made to work together. Processed foods fractionate and isolate parts of food. The body is designed to eliminate excess
cholesterol, removing it from the body by fiber, not enough fiber will
result in excess cholesterol getting into the blood. Myth: Whole
grains are good Truth: Contain mycotoxins.
Eat quinoa, buckwheat, & amaranth (pseudo grains because they
are seeds) Mycotoxins are toxins from from fungus and are
detrimental to your health. Myth: Sodium
is bad. Truth: Sodium
is a processed foods. Eat
sea salt instead it is whole food, nourishing to the body. For More Health Myths
Grapeseed Extract Health Benefits by Ethan Evers
The therapeutic potential of grape seed extract as anti-oxidant, anti-hypertensive and anti-inflammatory is so well established that this natural supplement is now being used in seven on-going clinical trials, only one of which is on cancer (of the breast). But the spotlight may soon shift to grape seed extract's anti-cancer potential as recent landmark studies on human patients have just uncovered its remarkable protective effects against three major cancers: squamous cell carcinoma, prostate and hematologic malignancies. Even more remarkable is that this breakthrough in the science of natural medicine was not due to the foresight of medical practitioners who designed the trials, but to the patients who took grape seed extract, on their volition, as a nutritional supplement to support general health.
