By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola Even if you rarely cook or bake, if you have anything in your cupboard in the way of spices, cinnamon is probably one of them. The warming, fragrant powder harvested from the bark of a tropical evergreen bush not only is tasty in a plethora of dishes both sweet and savory, but has a long history of use as a medicinal. Ayurvedic medicine originated in India more than 3,000 years ago. Maharishi Ayurveda Products International (MAPI) notes that cinnamon is often used for Ayurvedic recipes to enhance the bioavailability of other herbs while combining [More]

By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola This year marks the 20th anniversary of “First Do No Harm,” a film directed by American movie director and writer Jim Abrahams. Based on real-life events, the film relates the successful treatment of one boy’s severe case of epilepsy using a ketogenic diet. Prior to the fictionalized family’s discovery of the diet, their youngest son, Robbie, was given many pharmaceutical medications, some of which caused constipation, fevers, rashes and other harmful side effects, including at least one near-death episode. Aspects of the storyline mirror Abrahams’ own experience with his infant son Charlie, who makes [More]

By Lori Alton, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) If you suffer with a chronic illness – you may find the information (here) about CBD to be a great place to begin your journey back to optimal health. At first glance, the theory that some people suffer with pain due to a “deficiency” of cannabinoids – the psychoactive compounds in marijuana – could pass for a tongue-in-cheek witticism shared among cannabis enthusiasts. This is especially true in light of the suggested “remedy” of ingesting plant-based cannabinoids to correct the deficiency. Yet, scientific evidence supports the fact that this …read more Source: Natural Health [More]

By Dena Schmidt, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) Everyone knows how good it feels to be in a natural environment. Now scientific research is proving the strong relationship between spending (more) time in nature and feeling less depression and anxiety. This is particularly important for those suffering with PTSD, post-traumatic stress disorder. A study by the Institute for European environmental Policy (IEEP) found that persons living close to natural spaces were less likely to suffer from depression and obesity. They were also more naturally active, bringing them the additional mood-boosting brain and body chemistry …read more Source: Natural Health 365

Its leaves curl downward and in on themselves like tiny, broken umbrellas. It’s the telltale mark of inadvertent exposure to a controversial herbicide called dicamba. “This is crazy. Crazy!” shouts Mayes, a farm manager, gesticulating toward the shriveled canopy off Highway 61. “I just think if this keeps going on. . .” “Everything’ll be dead,” says Brian Smith, his [More]

By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola Most kids love hearing people comment on how tall they’re getting. In some circles, particularly homes where sports like volleyball or basketball are revered and often played, being tall is considered a definite plus. But new research has emerged that suggests being taller — or significantly shorter than average — isn’t necessarily better in terms of health and may even pose health risks. Part of the impact comes from how your height might affect your organs, studies say, such as one published in the journal Circulation: Cardiovascular Genetics.1 Scientists explored how height and venous [More]

By Jonathan Landsman (NaturalHealth365) According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 30,000 cases of Lyme disease are reported yearly. As only a small fraction of cases actually gets reported, the agency adds that the actual incidence of this disease in likely much higher. On top of that, emerging studies show that Bartonella disease, a vector-borne infection – often described as a ‘Lyme disease co-infection (but not entirely accurate) – can often be overlooked by most uninformed doctors. Bartonella disease is a lifedraining infection – often …read more Source: Natural Health 365     

By Dr. Veronique Desaulniers (NaturalHealth365) Nucleotides can be considered the “unsung hero” within the body – especially for the digestive system. And, although they are not well-known, they are essential to the creation of new DNA and RNA and are found in just about every cell in your body. New evidence points to their role in digestive repair as well as potential cancer prevention. With an estimated 74 percent of Americans currently dealing with gut health issues and digestive discomfort of some sort and an estimated 1,688,780 new cancer cases expected by the end …read more Source: Natural Health 365 [More]

By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola It was a sad day in October 2015 when researchers from the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research (AWI) announced they had detected plastic litter on the surface of Arctic waters.1 Greenland sharks and seabirds living in the area were already known to be eating the debris,2 but the appearance of 31 pieces of floating debris in an otherwise largely pristine environment painted a disturbing picture of pollution problems that will only get worse if the amounts of litter entering the oceans aren’t reduced. With plastics now entering the farthest [More]

By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola While many health screens and lab tests are overrated or unnecessary, there are a few that are vitally important, such as vitamin D. I recommend checking your vitamin D level at least twice a year. Two other really important tests are serum ferritin (which measures stored iron) and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase or sometimes called gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT; a liver enzyme correlated with iron toxicity, disease risk and all-cause mortality). By monitoring your serum ferritin and GGT levels and taking steps to lower them if they’re too high, you can avoid serious health problems. For adults, I [More]

By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola Every age group, from children to seniors, is at risk for being diagnosed with a condition they may not actually have, and being prescribed medications they do not need. In an increasingly litigious environment, where attorneys advertise for clients who may have had a missed diagnosis or experienced a side effect from a prescribed medication, physicians are increasingly caught between their desire to individualize care for their patients and the need to follow published standards of care to protect their licenses. In other words, the fear of medical malpractice lawsuits is a very real [More]

By Dena Schmidt, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) New research is indicating that eating more oranges, grapefruits and other citrus fruits could help to offset the effects of age-related cognitive impairment and dementia. The research was conducted by scientists at Tohuku University in Japan. Keep in mind (no pun intended), that these benefits of eating citrus fruits were found to be substantial. In fact, there was as much as a 23 percent average risk reduction for getting Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. Not bad, when you consider the alternative of eating unhealthy …read more Source: Natural Health 365     

By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola You’ve heard it before — what you eat has a direct impact on your health, and the quality of your health naturally affects how you feel. Your blood pressure readings aren’t just one isolated aspect of health but are intrinsically tied to many other functions of your body. That said, there are foods to stay away from and foods you should begin eating more of to optimize how well your blood is pumped through your body.

By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola One lifestyle factor that appears to be driving not only obesity but also many chronic disease processes is the fact that we avoid ever going without food for very long. Our ancestors didn’t have access to food 24/7, and biologically your body simply isn’t designed to run optimally when continuously fed. If you eat throughout the day and never skip a meal, your body adapts to burning sugar as its primary fuel, which down-regulates enzymes that utilize and burn stored fat. If you struggle to lose weight, this may well be a significant part [More]

By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola What constitutes soluble as opposed to insoluble fiber is something not everyone is clear on, especially in regard to their importance. In discussing fiber, there are two types: soluble and insoluble. Most consider fiber a tool to aid in healthy digestion, but it does so much more. Dietary fiber, the indigestible part of plant material, is considered an essential nutrient because only through eating it is fiber made available to your body, and you need both kinds. Some foods are made up of both soluble and insoluble fiber. Any portion of a plant-based food [More]

By Sierra Bright Urban permaculture may sound like the name of the latest hot band or a clothing brand, but it’s actually an increasingly popular movement started by city dwellers who want to lessen their impact on the environment while also having more control over where their food comes from. Short for permanent agriculture, permaculture is basically the idea that by observing and following nature, we’re able to create an unending food supply. It’s something that originated in Australia using design principles that can transform a patio, balcony, rooftop or garden into a sustainable food-producing area. For example, one permaculture [More]

By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola Empathy, the ability to put yourself in someone else’s shoes, so to speak, and understand their feelings and point of view, is a character trait that may benefit society and individuals in multiple ways. Empathy training has been found to reduce stress levels among medical students facing intense emotional encounters with patients, for example.1 While many parents try to instill empathetic qualities in their children, there’s growing research that empathy has deep neurological roots in humans. One of the first signs that empathy may be ingrained in all of us occurred in 1848, when [More]

Depending on the season, the corn may be tall and green or dry and brown, or already combined, leaving vast swatches of barren soil exposed. None of the scenarios would appear particularly noteworthy to the average passerby, and certainly not cause for alarm. However, if you dig a bit deeper into the reality of not just the U.S. Corn Belt, but also the massive amounts of corn being grown around the globe, a darker picture begins to [More]
