By Dr. Mercola Depression is common in older adults, occurring in 2% of those aged 55 years and older and rising with increasing age. Many more — from 10% to 15% — struggle with depressive symptoms, although they may not have been diagnosed with major depression.1 That being said, there’s been a major rise in the number of antidepressants being prescribed for older adults over the last two decades, without a similarly sharp increase in the number depressed, according to a study published in The British Journal of Psychiatry.2 The findings suggest seniors may be being overprescribed antidepressant drugs, which [More]

Scientists find common chemicals can negatively impact pregnant women. Researchers found that exposure to certain chemicals in consumer products during the first trimester of pregnancy is linked to lower IQ in children by age 7. Among the first of its kind, the study, carried out by scientists from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and Karlstad University, Sweden, linked mixtures of suspected endocrine-disrupting chemicals to prenatal neurodevelopment. The research analyzed data from SELMA, a study of Swedish mothers and children during the first trimester of pregnancy, measuring 26 chemicals in the blood and urine of 718 mothers. The [More]

Among New York City schoolchildren who live within a half-block of a fast food outlet, 20% are obese and 38% are overweight, shows analysis. The closer a child lives to a fast-food restaurant or a corner store, the more likely the child will be obese or overweight. Just having fast-food outlets a block farther away, and potentially less convenient or accessible, can significantly lessen children’s chances of being obese or overweight, according to the analysis by researchers at New York University (NYU) School of Medicine. As measured in city blocks, closeness to fast and convenience food sellers can impact a [More]

By Dr. Mercola In 2016, the Fluoride Action Network (FAN) and coalition partners filed a petition asking the EPA to ban the deliberate addition of fluoridating chemicals to U.S. drinking water under Section 21 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). Under the TSCA, the EPA evaluates risks from new and existing chemicals and is supposed to act to address any “unreasonable risks” such chemicals may pose to human health and the environment.1 However, the EPA has maintained that because fluoride supposedly prevents cavities — a “benefit” that’s been disproven — it justifies adding the chemical to water, even though [More]

By Dr. Mercola Frankincense, which is also known as olibanum,1 was once as common in households as toothpaste and deodorant are today.2 High quality oil or resin is a product of the Boswellia sacra tree, commonly found along the Arabian Peninsula that is home to several countries, including Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates.3 There are 30 species of the Boswellia plant4 and frankincense is harvested from the B. sacra tree. The gum resin of the plant contains a volatile oil used in perfumes and incense.5 The incense continues to be used in the Roman Catholic and [More]

By Natalie Robins, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) Vitamin K doesn’t get as much attention as some of the other vitamins, but ignoring this essential nutrient would be a mistake. In fact, it may even be good for your health to ask, what does vitamin K do? Well, this essential vitamin is a necessary component in the blood clotting process, which occurs when you cut yourself so that you don’t lose too much blood. Assisting in coagulation may be vitamin K’s best-known function, and the vitamin’s name, “K,” comes from the German word, “koagulation.” However, vitamin K’s effects go beyond blood clotting, [More]

By Sara Tipton As winter approaches, we find ourselves cooped up indoors more enjoying those hot cups of coffee or cocoa, and dismissing the idea of venturing out in the cold. However, our bodies need sunlight and vitamin D, especially in the winter when the days shorten. It’s difficult to get enough vitamin D in the winter. The days are shorter and the weather is cold and gloomy and the dreaded cold and flu season is in full swing. But you definitely should venture outside some, because so many studies show that vitamin D helps reduce the risk of colds [More]

By Dena Schmidt, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) Strokes are the second leading cause of death in the world, with more than 140,000 people dying – every year – from a stroke in the U.S. alone. To put the magnitude of the situation in perspective, someone, in the U.S., has a stroke about every 40 seconds! But, as you’ll soon see, your vitamin C levels can have a huge impact on your risk. In fact, there is research published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition and Stroke: A Journal of Cerebral Circulation which found “vitamin C …read more Source: Natural Health [More]

By Sara Middleton, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) It used to be that “burning the midnight oil” and being sleep deprived was a badge of honor, a sort of bragging right among “busy” people trying to get ahead in life. But science is catching up to all of us who used to proudly decry sleep. A new study reveals just how significant the health risks of chronic sleep deprivation are, especially if you’re already living with a health problem. If you or a loved one has a chronic disease, prioritizing your sleep is one of the most important lifestyle changes you can [More]

By Joy Jensen, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) Fructose, glucose, and sucrose are carbohydrates, often called simple sugars, and we find sugar naturally in a variety of foods. But, when combined with a high fat diet, that’s when the risk to your health goes way up. To be clear, heavily processed foods – which millions of people eat (every day) – often contain simple sugars that have been added to “improve flavor” and add sweetness. Although the tongue isn’t able to differentiate between these sugars, the body can tell the difference, and these sugars are processed in very different ways. As you [More]

With flu season encroaching, many are looking for ways to boost their immune function without drugs. One of the natural alternatives making headlines for its ability to fight influenza and other viruses is the elderberry (Sambucus nigra). According to a 2019 Herb Market report,1 sales of elderberry grew by 138.4% between 2017 and 2018 alone. The report theorizes that “Rising sales of elderberry, which is commonly found in products marketed for immune health, may have been related to the unusually severe flu activity reported for the 2017-2018 season in the United States.” With sales on the rise, elderberry is also [More]

Lyme disease, do you have it? If you did, you probably wouldn’t know – unless you’re one of the chronic sufferers that have had to visit over 30 doctors to get a proper diagnosis. Lyme disease tests are highly inaccurate, often inconclusive or indicating false negatives. Why? Because this clever bacteria has found a way to dumb down the immune system and white blood cells so that it’s not detectable until treatment is initiated. To diagnose Lyme properly you must see a “Lyme Literate MD (LLMD),” however, more and more doctors are turning their backs on patients due to sheer [More]

By Sara Middleton, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) Most people know what it’s like to have the occasional poor night of sleep. But for 40 million Americans, sleep deprivation is a chronic nightly issue. Today, we’ll focus on how lemon balm can help. No doubt, you understand that long-term sleep problems can have significant effects on your health. In fact, research has linked sleep disorders to difficulty losing weight and a greater risk of diseases like, cancer, dementia and unwanted accidents. The problem is, many people end up reaching for sleeping pills as a “solution” to their difficulty falling or staying asleep. [More]

By Dr. Mercola The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases defines overweight and obese as a person whose weight is higher than what is considered normal, adjusted for their height.1 That adjustment is figured by taking a person’s weight in kilograms and dividing it by the square of height in meters, which gives what is known as a body mass index, or BMI, according to the CDC.2 An adult is considered obese if their BMI is 30.0 or higher. Recent studies only reinforce what scientist and researchers already know: Obesity rates are high and climbing. According to [More]
