By Joy Jensen, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) We already know that Americans tend to spend a lot of time sitting, something that’s often referred to as “sitting disease.” In fact, too much inactivity has a serious impact on heart health and overall wellbeing – linked to issues such as, type 2 diabetes, cancer, and heart disease. To make matters even worse, new COVID-19 “stay-at-home” orders have left many people more inactive than ever. But, one new study that’s particularly relevant right now with the COVID-19 restrictions many people are facing reveals the vascular benefits of stretching. This recent study, …read more

08/04/20 The “cancel culture” has struck again, this time in the Marine Corps, with the cancellation of a training session for reservists because of the instructor’s Christian faith. Air Force veteran Jay Lorenzen was scheduled to lead a U.S. Marine Corps Judge Advocate General training session on July 17 before a complaint by the non-profit Military Religious Freedom Foundation, or MRFF, prompted Marine brass to cancel him. MRFF’s complaint centered on a completely separate course Lorenzen teached in his freed time course for the Christian group Cru, formerly known as Campus Crusade for Christ, called “The Gospel Courageous

We’re not resigning ourselves to this bleak future quite yet. But, we do believe the American public should be made well aware of potential threats to their personal and private data, all in the name of “public safety” during the COVID-19 pandemic.

There could be times when you will have mere minutes to evacuate your home and if you do not have a plan and supplies already packed and ready, you lose precious seconds during an evacuation.

By Hesh Goldstein One would think that any doctor that had a brain would encourage their patients to stay healthy. The problem is that most doctors rely on the “take-a-pill” mentality, which leads to people being overweight and carrying bags full of various Rx drugs. Let’s say there are doctors out there that truly care about the health of their patients. Where do hey get their “health” information from? From the fraudulent pharmaceutical industry that only cares about profit. The only way they can profit Is by sickness. These companies spend billions and higher thousands to talk about the amazingly

By everybodysfit Body hair, termed androgenic hair, develops on the body during the years of puberty. We need this hair to regulate our body temperature. When it’s cold, the hairs stand up because the tiny muscles surrounding the hair follicles are trying to trap more heat. This is when we see goosebumps on our skin. Hair is all over our bodies. We have eyebrows, facial, arm, leg, chest, and pubic hair. Fine hairs found all over the body are called vellus which comes from the Latin word “fleece”. Larger more coarse hairs found on the eyebrows, eyelashes, armpit, facial, and

A Tennessee physician has a message for COVID-19 patients: Use hydroxychloroquine “if you can find a doctor with guts enough to prescribe it.” Meanwhile, the US Food and Drug Commissioner Stephen Hahn said some studies “suggest a benefit” to using the drug on COVID-19, despite the fact that the government agency issued guidance stating the use of the drug should be avoided unless it’s being studied in a clinical trial or for hospital use. In a radio interview, Hahn reiterated the fact that doctors are free to prescribe the drug “off label,” and that the FDA “does not regulate

The fact is that “yo-yo dieting” only lowers the number of calories you are able to ingest and still lose weight with every diet.

This is a very serious health issue that’s been called the “ignored epidemic.” But, what’s most disturbing is the negative effect it has on liver function. Interestingly, research also shows that African-Americans are more likely to develop liver health problems, specifically a chronic liver disease known as cirrhosis.

By Dr. Mercola Sleeping with a partner gets a bad rap lately because of how many people, mostly women, say they are fleeing their partners’ disruptive snoring and sleep apnea for a separate bed. Several years ago, researchers writing in the journal Sleep also found negatives from sleeping with a partner, sometimes called co-sleeping.1 They found it was correlated with more night awakenings, more body movements and generally poorer sleep, even if the sleepers did not realize their sleep was compromised.2 Disrupted sleep also has negative effects on your immune system, according to the Mayo Clinic.3 Recently, scientists wrote in

By Dr. Mercola Citrus fruits are not native to the U.S., but they are now an integral part of Florida’s agricultural growth and state identity. Citrus trees came with Europeans in the 1500s and quickly began growing in Florida. In return for serving during the Seminole War several hundred years later, John Eaton was given land under the government’s plan. This was the birth of the citrus industry in Florida.1 Eaton lived in what is now Orange County, where his experiments with grafting helped establish the crop. Farmers took them north into the Carolinas and Georgia to reduce shipping costs

By Joy Jensen, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) Short-term bursts of oral corticosteroids are often prescribed to treat a number of different health conditions. Some of the most common indications for the use of short-term oral steroids include upper respiratory tract infections, skin disorders, lower respiratory tract disorders, allergies, spinal conditions, and bronchitis. Generally speaking, doctors will prescribe oral corticosteroids because they provide quick results. However, new data from a study reported in the Annals of Internal Medicine reveals a link between short-term use of oral steroids and serious health risks. In fact, the most troubling reality is that adverse effects can

Weighed against the benefit of slowing the spread of coronavirus, a new study bolsters the argument of those claiming that when it comes to lockdowns, the cure may be worse than the disease itself. The study conducted by researchers from Johns Hopkins University and published in The Lancet puts a number to the human cost of lockdowns when it comes to children specifically and the results are grim: the deaths of 10,000 children per month, and severe malnutrition to another 550,000. It’s tragically ironic that some of the damage from the virus could’ve been averted had publications like
