A new study led by Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis suggests there is a link between bacteria that live in the upper airway and the severity of asthma symptoms among children with mild to moderate asthma. The study raises the possibility that the airway’s microbiome could have a causal role in the severity of asthma symptoms. The research paves the way for future studies to discover whether altering the types of bacteria that live in the upper airway could help patients with asthma. The findings appear Dec. 16 in the journal Nature Communications. …read more Source: Sott

By Sara Middleton, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) It’s hard to argue with anyone who says exercise is good for your physical and mental health. In fact, we know regularly exercising reduces your risk of early death, protects you against chronic diseases like obesity and heart disease, and even alleviates depression as effectively as antidepressants in many cases – but, without all those unwanted side effects!

By Natalie Robins, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a condition in which a woman’s hormones are not balanced. This condition is usually represented by having abnormally high levels of androgen – often resulting in formation of cysts on the ovaries. As crazy as this may sound to the holistically-minded individual, conventional medications for PCOS include birth control pills, fertility medications and metformin, a drug for diabetes which can cause a life-threatening condition called lactic acidosis. Generally speaking, western medicine believes that drugs will help to ‘control’ some of the many PCOS symptoms, such as: High cholesterol, triglycerides

By Dr. Mercola If you miss the taste of meat, Impossible Foods invites you to meet their definition of “meat” — their designer burgers made from genetically modified soy containing 110 times more glyphosate (herbicide) than is needed to damage gut bacteria.1 While you may be tempted to try this newest food fad, don’t believe the hype. Industrial agricultural practices are among the most unsustainable of modern civilization, but the answer is not to replace farm raised food with those developed in a chemistry lab. Meat substitutes often eat up other resources, including water and fossil fuels. In …read more

By Lori Alton, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) Long known associated with brittle bones and other complications of osteoporosis, low bone mineral density (BMD) is now clearly associated with an increased risk to heart failure, according to findings published earlier this year in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. This is no small problem when you consider the fact that an osteoporotic fracture occurs every 3 seconds and heart failure affects over 26 million people – worldwide. What is the connection between BMD and heart failure? The study used broadband ultrasound attenuation (BUA) to measure bone mineral density in the

By Lori Alton, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently reported that fully one third of the American population is prediabetic, with elevated blood sugar (glucose) levels that can – if untreated – lead to full-blown type 2 diabetes.

Now, a brand-new Australian study shows that vitamin C can lower elevated blood glucose in type 2 diabetics, helping to control dangerous after-meal surges …read

The NHS is “over-diagnosing” children having medical treatment for gender dysphoria, with psychologists unable to properly assess patients over fears they will be branded “transphobic”, former staff have warned. Thirty five psychologists have resigned from the children’s gender-identity service in London in the last three years, Sky News research suggests. Six of those have now raised concerns about hormone treatment being given to children with gender dysphoria, a condition where a person experiences distress due to a mismatch between their biological sex and their gender identity. …read more Source: Sott health news feed
By Sara Middleton, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) Is air pollution really getting worse? Yes, according to data shared by many health agencies and news outlets. Unfortunately, we know that air pollution has been linked to all sorts of health problems including inflammation and respiratory ailments. But, could this environmental issue also explain the rise in Alzheimer’s disease? Alzheimer’s disease currently affects at least 5.5 million Americans. By 2050, the prevalence in our country could be as high as 16 million. And in sobering news, a recent paper published in Brain has found that exposure to air pollutants is positively linked to

By Dr. Mercola Important points about this video: Dr. Suzanne Humphries recorded this lecture over five years ago, and I believe there has been a consensus shift in our understanding of antioxidant benefits since then. At the time this lecture was recorded, it wasn’t widely appreciated that a certain level of free radicals is necessary to achieve optimal health. Free radicals, like nitric oxide and hydrogen peroxide, are important biological signaling molecules, and if you indiscriminately suppress them with high doses of antioxidants, you run the risk of unintentionally sabotaging your health. That is why I am not a fan

(NaturalHealth365) According to a 2018 report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the current number of American adults living with type 2 diabetes stands at over 30 million. Why does this matter? We know that type 2 diabetes, a potentially life-threatening condition, can have devastating consequences that include nerve damage, kidney damage, retinopathy, Alzheimer’s disease and a much greater risk of heart disease.

By Dr. Mercola During an acute stress response, your body undergoes chemical changes that enable you to run from predators or take down prey. It’s known as the flight-or-fight response. Unfortunately, some of those same life-saving chemical reactions used to protect you from danger may also be triggered as a coping response to perceived societal dangers, like dealing with a problem with a coworker or addressing the fear of public speaking. In other words, there are times your body finds it difficult to turn off the stress response. This chronic stress is one of the biggest challenges faced by U.S.
