By Dr. Mercola Animal waste and fertilizer runoff are two large contributors to water pollution, yet Big Ag has consistently turned a blind eye to the resulting devastating climate effects on their own industry. As this short video demonstrates, rising concentrations of nitrogen in the water feeds algae and chokes the oxygen supply to wildlife, creating expansive dead zones. In addition to an impact on fish and wildlife, climate change is being blamed for record-setting rain in the Midwest in 2019. Croplands were so ravaged by water that farmers were forced to delay planting corn. Typically, 96% of croplands would [More]
By Dr. Mercola Conventional guidance to avoid unprotected sun exposure at all costs has likely done public health a great disservice. The American Academy of Dermatology,1 for example, stresses daily use of sunscreen to prevent skin cancer, regardless of weather conditions or skin pigmentation — two factors that simply cannot be overlooked when weighing the risks and benefits of sun exposure and sunscreen use.2 A direct result of this blanket recommendation is widespread vitamin D deficiency, which we now know is a risk factor for a wide variety of cancers and many other chronic …read more Source: mercola     
By Dr. Mercola Many of the decisions you make each day have a compound effect on your overall health. Making small changes in what you eat and drink, how much you exercise and the quality of your sleep can pay big dividends. The same is true of some of the small unhealthy decisions you make. For example, lifestyle choices affect your risk for high blood pressure, Type 2 diabetes and even heartburn. If you take medications to control these conditions, you need to know that some of them have been recalled due to contamination issues. In July 2018 the FDA1 [More]
By Sara Middleton, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) High blood pressure (hypertension) used to be thought of as a chronic disease only affecting middle-aged and elderly people.

Could an early onset of high blood pressure increase the risk of heart disease in young people? It certainly could, and this is enough to highlight the importance of effective high blood pressure treatment and prevention – as soon as possible!

By Dr. Mercola Obesogens are chemicals that exert negative effects on your cells. You may recognize many on a list that contains bisphenol-A (BPA), parabens, flame retardants and pesticides.1 The majority are known endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) that may be sabotaging your weight loss efforts. Other obesogens include PFASs,2 commonly found in food packaging, household cleaners, nonstick cookware, firefighting foam and stain-resistant carpets, rugs and furniture. Exposure to this single chemical can happen through your food, indoor air and dust, drinking water and products used at home and at work. Aside from being an obesogen, according to Toxic-Free Culture, PFAS is [More]
By Sara Middleton, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) Do you only have time in your schedule to run just once per week? Research suggests even that’s enough to enjoy some serious running benefits. A recent systematic review and meta-analysis published in BMJ reveals that even a small amount of running can decrease the risk of death from any cause, including cancer and cardiovascular disease. Short on time for running? New meta-analysis shows some really great health news! The new paper, which was published in the fall of 2019, collectively analyzed the results of 14 studies representing a total sample of 232,149 participants. [More]

By Sara Middleton, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) At least 100 million: that’s how many Americans are currently living with diabetes or prediabetes, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Many of these people aren’t even aware of their diagnosis yet. Since this can delay their treatment, it can also their risk of related complications, including diabetic neuropathy.

Depression, anxiety, impulsive behavior and poor cognitive performance in children is effected by the amount of sleep they have researchers from the University of Warwick have found. Sleep states are active processes that support reorganization of brain circuitry. This makes sleep especially important for children, whose brains are developing and reorganizing rapidly. In the paper “Sleep duration, brain structure, and psychiatric and cognitive problems in children,” published in the journal Molecular Psychiatry, 11,000 children aged 9-11 from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development dataset had the relationship between sleep duration and brain structure examined by researchers Professor Jianfeng Feng, Professor Edmund [More]

A new study shows for the first time that low and high exercise intensities differentially influence brain function. Using resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (Rs-fMRI), a noninvasive technique that allows for studies on brain connectivity, researchers discovered that low-intensity exercise triggers brain networks involved in cognition control and attention processing, while high-intensity exercise primarily activates networks involved in affective/emotion processing. The results appear in a special issue of Brain Plasticity devoted to Exercise and Cognition. “We believe that functional neuroimaging will have a major impact for unraveling body-brain interactions,” said lead investigators Angelika Schmitt, MSc, and Henning Boecker, MD, [More]

By Admin by Brian ShilhavyEditor, Health Impact News As we have reported many times since 2014, America has a major problem with its wheat supply. Virtually all of the wheat grown in the northern climates is contaminated. There is currently no GMO wheat grown in the U.S., even though from time to time a farmer will find wheat growing that does not die when sprayed with glyphosate herbicides. These are no doubt rogue varieties of wheat left over from GMO test plots years ago, but there is currently …read more Source: Health Impact News

The EPA and states must insist municipalities investigate alternative methods for reuse of sewage wastes. You may not realize it but some foods you eat may have been grown in soil containing toxic sewage wastes. Labeling is not required. In 2019, about 60 percent of sewage sludge from 16,000 wastewater processing facilities in more than 160 U.S. cities has been spread on our soils – farmland and gardens, as well as schoolyards and lawns. The U.S. Environmental Protect Agency (EPA) allows this use of sewage waste, claiming it has beneficial use because it contains properties similar to fertilizer — certain [More]
By Joy Jensen, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) While most health-conscious people realize that coconut oil is actually a super food, for quite some time coconut oil has been demonized by the mainstream media due to its saturated fat content. And, another thing the media “forgets” to tell you is: those saturated fats differ significantly from the (toxic) fats found in most conventionally-raised animal products, and the unique array of fatty acids found in coconut oil actually offers a variety of positive health effects. For example, a deeper look into coconut oil’s role in nutrition and health brings to light even more [More]
By Dr. Mercola If you’re like most people, chances are you’re consuming unhealthy amounts of sugar on a regular basis. Even if you’re not big on candy, most processed foods will provide you with an excessive amount of added sugars. As noted in the BBC One report “The Truth About Sugar,” a serving of Pad Thai noodles contains 9.5 teaspoons of sugar and a package of sweet and sour chicken with rice contains 12.5 teaspoons, which is more than a can of soda. A can of baked beans contains 6 teaspoons of sugar, which would ideally be your grand total [More]
