By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola Wintertime is commonly a time when darker moods tend to creep in; a phenomenon linked to a decline in sunlight. Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) affects an estimated 6 percent of the U.S. population, while a milder form, known as the “winter blues,” affects about 14 percent.1 As noted in the Evening Standard:2 “According to the DSM [diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders], people who have SAD are excessively fatigued, lose interest in their hobbies, tend to crave more starches and sweets, may gain seasonal …read more Source: mercola

By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola Dealing with the loss of my mom, who died this past July, I have a new appreciation for those who experience intensified feelings of grief and loss during the holiday season. Grief is a valuable feeling but can be an “emotional rollercoaster.” Given its ebb and flow, it can be hard to know how to embrace, process and express feelings of grief, especially during the holidays. The most important resource to help me resolve the grief with my mother was the last book that Dr. David Hawkins wrote before …read more Source: mercola

By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola Eggs are close to being a perfect food. Egg yolks deliver vitamins A, D, E, K and B12, omega-3 fats, folate and antioxidants. They are also versatile. You can use them at any meal, kids love them and they can be cooked inside or outside the shell. Until the 1920s, chickens were raised almost exclusively for their ability to lay eggs. The meat was seasonally available, expensive and not very tasty.1 This changed, quite by accident, in 1923 when farm wife Cecile Steele mistakenly ordered 500 hatchlings instead of 50. The farmer sold the

By Lori Alton, staff writer (Naturalhealth365) One out of four Americans over the age of 45 currently takes statin drugs, intended to lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart disease. With $29 billion worth of sales in 2013 alone, drugs like Lipitor (atorvastatin) and Zocor (simvastatin) are a virtual cash cow for big pharma. Yet, a growing number of researchers, doctors, natural health experts and consumers are sounding the alarm on statin drugs – pointing to the very real health dangers. Today, we’ll take a closer look at 10 different ways …read more Source: Natural Health 365
By Lori Alton, staff writer (Naturalhealth365) The inescapable fact is: middle-aged and elderly people face a much greater threat of developing potentially life-threatening degenerative diseases – including cancer, heart disease and type 2 diabetes – than their youthful friends and family members. Much of the reason lies within the cells, where the number and function of mitochondria (the ‘powerhouse of cells) – declines steadily with advancing age. However, a nutrient known as PQQ appears to be capable of combating mitochondrial dysfunction and even stimulating mitochondrial regrowth.

By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola N-acetylcysteine (NAC) — a precursor which is needed for glutathione biosynthesis — is an incredibly useful supplement that few people have even heard of. Many of its benefits relate back to the fact that it helps boost production of glutathione, an important antioxidant your body produces naturally that helps reduce free radical damage and plays a role in the detoxification of heavy metals and other harmful substances. NAC is both safe and inexpensive, and has been commercially available for a long time. It’s also generally well-tolerated and has no known serious side effects. Considering

By Dena Schmidt, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) News about the importance of gut health and probiotics linked to overall health has been circulating quite a bit lately. Even conventionally-trained medical doctors are waking up to the importance of gut health. Of course, it’s understandable, because digestive health is the key to every aspect of our physical, mental and emotional well-being. (if we ignore our digestion – we’ll eventually pay the unwanted price.) Thankfully, there are a number of positive steps we can take to support a healthy gut microbiome.

By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola For decades, food production has been all about efficiency and lowering cost. We now see what this approach has brought us — diminishing food quality, skyrocketing disease statistics and a faltering ecosystem. Regenerative agriculture that makes use of cover crops, no-till and herbivore grazing actually contributes to improved soil health and fertility. An interesting study that highlights the importance of grazing animals found that reindeer grazing on shrubs on the Arctic tundra actually help combat abnormal weather patterns on a global scale by increasing surface albedo, the amount of …read more Source: mercola
