By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola Fasting is a powerful tool nearly anyone can use to take control of their health. Animal research indicates a fasting-mimicking diet not only can help your pancreas regenerate itself, but it can also reverse diabetes symptoms. In another study, also involving lab mice, restricting daily calories to a six-hour window significantly reduced levels of a particular mutant protein known to play a role in Huntington’s disease. Given these results, as well as other research, the tremendous benefits of fasting continue to emerge. If you haven’t yet considered how fasting can make a positive difference

By Lydia Noyes The beginning of spring is a time for fresh starts, new growth, and seasonal allergies. For the 40 to 60 million people who meet the switch to warmer weather with the sniffles, seasonal allergies are, well, nothing to sneeze at.

Most conventional antihistamine medication can trigger undesirable side effects like dizziness, exhaustion, and difficulty driving. If you’re sick of your respiratory system stopping you from enjoying the beauty of spring, then it’s time to seek out some home remedies for seasonal allergies and

By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola Insulin is absolutely essential to staying alive; unfortunately, the vast majority of people have resistance to this essential hormone, speeding up the aging process and contributing to the development of degenerative diseases. Any meal high in grain and sugar carbs typically generates a rapid rise in blood glucose. To compensate, your pancreas secretes insulin into your bloodstream, which lowers your blood sugar to keep you from dying. Insulin, however, is also very efficient at lowering blood sugar by turning it into fat. The more you secrete, the fatter you …read more Source: mercola
By raptorman If marijuana was actually legalized it could be transferred like any other plant product with no strings attached. Truly legal marijuana could be used freely just as it had been for thousands of years before the modern war on drugs. Some U.S. states have enacted medical marijuana programs but they conflict with the U.S. federal government on almost every level, including the right to buy a firearm if you hold a medical marijuana card or use this medicinal plant casually. “There are no exceptions in federal law for marijuana purportedly used for medicinal purposes, even if such use

By Lori Sweeney Many have the impression that the more fattening a recipe is, the better the flavor. Now the dish is too fattening, so cutting back on the fat changes the taste and texture. Then food manufacturers try to incorporate chemicals to compensate for the fat taken out of the food in order to make it appealing to those who are seeking fat-free or low-fat consumables. I find chemicals and fat-free recipes/products are not always the answer. In fact, chemicals are never the answer! There has to be a balance, and natural substitutions to compensate. It was tough for
