Improving Blood Circulation

One question I often hear from customers is "How can I improve my circulation?" 

The good news is that there is a simple way to improve circulation in the body. It's called Contrast Showers. 

Here's how it's done:

1. You stand in the shower and turn the water on as hot as you are able to stand it. Run the hot water over your body for a minute or two. 
2. Then change the temperature of the water to as cold as you are able to stand it. Continue running the cold water on your body for about a minute or so. 
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 about 4 to 8 times.
4. End off with the cold water.

Do this several times a day for the most benefit. 

When you begin, you may only be able to tolerate warm water then slightly cool water. This is okay because you don't want to scald yourself. As you do it more often, you'll gradually be able to withstand hotter as well as colder water and this will make it even more effective.

The hot water causes the blood to flow towards the surface of the body. The cold water makes the blood flow towards the center of the body.

Poor circulation can also reduce the absorption of nutrients that you're taking while improving your circulation can help your body to get better results from the nutrients that you're taking.

Here are some other reported benefits of Contrast Showers in addition to better blood circulation:

*Boosts the immune system
*Revitalizes the skin
*Reduces muscle soreness
*Temporary relief of aching, pains and stiff joints from arthritis
*It helps the body to reduce toxins. (Medications are very toxic to the body.)
*Better digestion and nutrient assimilation
*Can help to improve mobility
*Improves production of digestive enzymes
*Improves the oxygen to the internal organs
*Better metabolism 
*Helps prevent colds

It's not recommended that you take a Contrast Shower if:

*You are asthmatic
*Have an active autoimmune disease
*Inflammation
*Cardiovascular problems
*Are pregnant

Consult your physician if you have any questions about the safety of this procedure.

The Incredible-Edible Egg

There at one time a negative advertising campaign was run concerning eggs. There were ads on TV and on billboards, with images of four eggs being led into a jail cell, and another ad showing the four eggs behind bars.

This was part of a campaign to tell the public that eating eggs was dangerous and could contribute to heart disease (which was incorrect). As a result, many people stopped eating eggs or greatly reduced the number of eggs they ate.

Even today, many people still remain afraid of eating eggs or eating too many eggs, due to that false campaign.

Today, what do nutritional experts say regarding eggs in the diet?

"The egg is nearly the perfect food for health and weight loss. It is easily digestible as well as a complete food. Eggs give your liver the building blocks it needs to repair your body. Cholesterol levels are not increased by eating them and you can lose weight by including them in your diet."

"Eggs contain ingredients to develop a healthy body including nearly all of the essential nutrients such as B-l, B-6, folic acid and B-12. They contain such minerals as calcium, magnesium, potassium, zinc and iron. Choline and biotin, which are important for energy and stress reduction, are also found in eggs. Eggs are also complete in all amino acids (protein building blocks), which are found in the yolk."

"The fat in the egg yolk is in nearly perfect balance. These essential fats are very important in the regulation of cholesterol. This is because the antidote [Definition: something that counteracts.] to cholesterol is lecithin, which helps dissolve cholesterol and the yolk is loaded with lecithin. Make sure not to overcook the egg yolk, as this will destroy the lecithin. These yolk fats in your diet lower the risk for heart disease."

"Eggs have almost zero carbohydrates and have the highest rating for complete proteins (containing all the amino acids) of any food. Amino acids are necessary for repairing tissue as well as making hormones and brain chemicals."

"As a side note, many people are afraid of eating egg yolks because of cholesterol. The fact is that most of the cholesterol found in our blood is not there because of what we eat. It's our livers that make approximately 75% of the cholesterol that exists in our blood."

"The more cholesterol we eat, the less the body will make. The less cholesterol we eat, the more the body will make. If cholesterol were so bad for us, why would our bodies make so much?"

"The body is an incredible system that knows exactly what to do to create a natural balance. When we consume foods containing cholesterol, we only absorb 1 to 2 mg of cholesterol per pound of body weight per day. So even if we were to eat a dozen eggs each day, we would only absorb about 300 mg of cholesterol, which is, by the way, the recommended maximum daily amount."

"On a personal note: I have been eating four organic eggs every morning for the past 6 years and never felt better. My cholesterol is also within the normal range (below 200)."

excerpted from Dr. Berg's BODY SHAPE DIETS
by Dr. Eric Berg

Yes, eggs are a very safe and excellent source of nutrition for the whole family, and should be made a regular part of the diet. But not all eggs are the same, so let's look at how to choose your eggs from another expert on nutrition:

"You can kiss your fear of eggs good-bye. There have been a number of previous studies that have supported that eggs do not increase your risk of heart disease. So go ahead and have your eggs as they are one of the healthiest foods on the planet."

"While you are at it, please be sure and purchase healthy eggs as they are not that much more expensive than commercial factory raised chicken eggs. Please be sure to look for 'free range organic' on the box."

"Just as important as where you buy your eggs is how you prepare them for eating."

"If you want to fine tune eating your eggs, it is best not to cook them. This helps preserve many of the highly perishable nutrients, some of which are very effective at preventing the most common cause of blindness, called 'age related macular degeneration.' [Definition - Macular Degeneration: the gradual blurring of the center of your field of vision, which continues to get worse, eventually resulting in blindness]."

"Some may be concerned about the risk of salmonella [Definition: a type of bacteria which can cause food poisoning.] from raw eggs, but I analyzed the risk a few years ago and most people have a better chance of winning the lottery than contracting salmonella from eggs from healthy chickens. Personally I consume three raw eggs nearly every morning as part of my breakfast and believe it has enormously contributed to my health."

Excerpted from Dr. Joseph Mercola's comment on an article appearing in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Vol. 80, No. 4, 855-861, October 2004

So, be sure to include eggs as a regular item in your daily diet or certainly in your weekly diet, for improved health and nutrition.

Omega 3s linked to lower risk of gum disease

A study done in 2010 and published in Journal of the American Dietetic Association revealed that people who consume a good amount of omega-3’s -- the fatty acids predominantly found in oily fish -- may have a lower risk of developing gum disease,

I thought it was worth reviewing as I haven't heard of this very much.

Good Bacteria Fights the Flu

You have at your disposal tools to bolster your immune system and drastically reduce your risk of colds and the flu. You do not need a vaccine to do this. In fact, a vaccine could easily make your health worse.

And one of these “tools” that I urge you to look into right away is good bacteria, or probiotics.
