WHO lowered the daily recommended intake of sugar by half, making it currently 6 teaspoons or approximately 25 grams. Most processed food easily surpasses this amount. In fact, sugar is one of the staple ingredients. …read more Read more here: Prevent Disease     
Mindfulness is “the intentional, accepting and non-judgemental focus of one’s attention on the emotions, thoughts and sensations occurring in the present moment”, which can be trained by a large extent in meditation practices. The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) published the results of a ground-breaking study that found that meditation appears to provide as much relief from some anxiety and depression symptoms as antidepressants. …read more Read more here: Prevent Disease     
By Debi Elison-Warsat Who says that body image is only something that women have to worry about? First, the world was given a glimpse at the perfect woman; now we have the perfect man, and this is according to men and women. According to these pictures, men are very wrong about what the perfect man is supposed to look like. According to a study done by jacamo, a British Menswear label, 62% of men hypothesized that women would prefer Justin Bieber’s hair, Gerard Butlers face, Hugh Jackman’s arms, David Gandy’s torso, and Cristiana Ronaldo’s legs. Or tall, dark, and handsome! [More]
“Just another example of the subtle brainwashing that’s going on with kids.”  Admin Isn’t it interesting how an agenda is so often posed as a debate even though there is usually only one side? Or, when a synthesis of the two is the actual goal? That’s how things are presented to adults, usually on television. Or rather, “adult-children.” So that it looks like they have an informed choice. Unfortunately, children in many public schools don’t even have the semblance of a two-sided joust. They are expected to download beliefs. As you will see below, it doesn’t even matter if they [More]
By Barbara Minton While you’re chowing down on all those healthful fresh fruits and vegetables (hopefully), don’t forget to eat plenty of protein, too. A growing pile of research is finding that people who eat higher levels of protein stay slim and trim compared to those who don’t. How can eating more make a person slimmer? Protein is so integral to the formation and maintenance of every part of the body, that the signal to put down your knife and fork doesn’t get sent until you’ve eaten enough protein. Probably in an effort to keep recruits trim and fit, the [More]
By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola Mounting research suggests that your microbiome—colonies of bacteria, viruses, and other microbes living in your gut—may be one of the preeminent factors determining your health and longevity. Feeding health-promoting gut bacteria with a healthy diet, avoiding hospitals (which are hotbeds for drug-resistant bacteria), and boycotting processed foods and animal foods raised in confined animal feeding operations (CAFOs)—both of which tend to have an adverse effect on your microbiome—may be keystone strategies for longevity. Beneficial Microbes Prevent Disease A number of studies have begun to identify specific species of bacteria that appear to have specialized [More]
The heart-healthy benefits of the so-called Mediterranean diet are well known, but new research from a Greek study suggest that adherence to the diet can have a more protective effect on heart disease risk than taking part in physical activity – showing that adults who closely followed the diet were 47% less likely to develop heart disease over a 10-year period compared to similar adults who did not closely follow the diet. …read more Read more here: Prevent Disease     
By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola Do you know your vitamin D level? If not, a simple blood test called 25(OH)D, or 25-hydroxyvitamin D, can reveal your levels and give you incredible insight into your potential future risk of disease. Low vitamin D levels are widely known to harm your bones, leading them to become thin, brittle, soft, or misshapen. But a lack of vitamin D does not only impact your bones. Far from it. You see, vitamin D isn’t a vitamin at all. It’s a steroid hormone that influences virtually every cell in your body. From your heart to [More]
By noreply@blogger.com (Activist) Joshua Krause, Ready Nutrition Until about a year ago, I was undecided in regards to the dangers of vaccines. My gut told me they were probably bad, but it was difficult to take a stand on the issue. The reason why was simple enough. When it comes to the news, I try to read a diverse set of opinions, many of which I’ve come to trust. But what does one do when the sources of information you trust begin to oppose each other on a big issue? How do you come to a decision when both sides [More]
By noreply@blogger.com (Activist) A first study of its kind has found that GM maize transgenes have penetrated the informal seed supplies of smallholder farmers in the Eastern Cape, South Africa. The study screened for transgenes in external fields, home gardens and local household seed holdings in a village where GM insect-resistant maize had been previously grown from 2001–2008 and also analysed the seed management practices of farmers there. Genetically modified (GM) crops were introduced in South Africa in 1997. By 2013, South Africa had 2.3 million hectares of GM crops under cultivation, 78% of which …read more Read more here: [More]
By noreply@blogger.com (Activist) By Heather Callaghan The main character in the movie Idiocracy goes to the hospital of the future and tries to tell the clerk about his problem. She apathetically scans her finger over a bunch of picture buttons that indicate a medical problem – she doesn’t have to think. Imagine if everything was even further reduced from Idiocracy into nothing but basic colors and shapes. It would almost be like shopping with Big Bird as your guide. “Should food products be labeled with traffic light symbols to make health-related information on ingredients easier to understand?” Apparently, this very [More]
By Debi Elison-Warsat When you listen to music, multiple areas of the brain become engaged and active. But, when you actually play an instrument it becomes a full body brain workout! “Music produces a kind of pleasure which human nature cannot do without.” It has the ability to increase the capacity of your memory, refine your time management and organizational skills, enhances coordination and betters your mathematical ability among other things. Virtual fireworks go off in a musician’s brain! Here is a video that examines the long-term positive effects of this mental workout, and it is positively fascinating!

By Mike Barrett How far does the fraud and contamination of our country’s products go? The list is seemingly endless. Recently adding on to the list, mega-company Johnson and Johnson was recently found out to be knowingly selling adulterated bottles of Tylenol that contain metal particles. The makers of this children’s Tylenol seemed to think it was OK to pollute our nation’s children – even if it meant a federal criminal charge. Johnson & Johnson subsidiary McNeil Consumer Healthcare ? which makes Infants’ and Children’s Tylenol and Children’s Motrin ? agreed to pay $25 million to resolve the case, the [More]
By Debi Elison-Warsat Have you ever thought about animals? I mean what would happen if animals decided to treat us the way that we treat them? These powerful “cartoons” show animals playing the human role, a reversal that will make you cringe. Have you ever considered yourself to be in the same position? We as humans often times seem to see ourselves as dominant to animals, when in reality they are very much equal to ourselves! How would you like to be a rug on someone else’s floor? Or what about as a leather bag for a fashion piece? Maybe [More]

By Christina Sarich With radiation exposure from medical practices such as mammograms,and cancer treatments, as well as that which is being leaked from sites like Fukushima, it becomes more important than ever to educate ourselves about natural ways to protect against radiation exposure. Fortunately, iodine has been shown to protect the important glands of the endocrine system from radiation toxicity, namely the thyroid. The Iodine Solution and Why it’s Important The triple meltdown that happened just a year ago, which still dumps millions of gallons of radioactive waste into the Pacific Ocean, could be small potatoes in comparison to the [More]

By noreply@blogger.com (Activist) By Tess Pennington, Ready Nutrition From a sustainability standpoint, herbs are one of the easiest plants to produce. Many of the herbs we grow are perennials and will produce for many years. Drying herbs is a great way to save money and use for cooking or to enjoy for aromatherapy needs. That said, we haven’t completely put these perennials to their full potential. Harvesting Your Tea Growing your own tea blends is almost effortless. Many herbs prefer to be on the “dry” side during the growing season, so you can skip a few waterings and they will [More]

“By his actions the man just proves himself to be a brazen liar with no conscience.”  Admin A lobbyist and public relations consultant for the pesticide industry refused to drink a glass of Monsanto’s weed killer “Roundup” after labeling the substance safe to drink. Discussing the United Nations’ recent classification of Glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup, as a likely carcinogen, Dr. Patrick Moore shot down an offer to drink a glass of the herbicide after initially telling a French filmmaker that humans could “drink a whole quart of it” without seeing any harmful effects. “You want to drink some?” [More]
By Tina Hoffman Everyone wants to make the best decisions and ensure that they purchase healthy and safe food products. Especially, when it comes to meat, poultry and dairy products. Surely, the growing number of different labels such as “Organic”, ”Natural” and “Hormone Free” have been noticed, and it is clear that not all meat and dairy products are created equal. How do we know which one is better; organic or natural? They both sound like good options. Below is a list of the most common labels and what they actually mean in terms of animal diet and welfare.
