By Dr. Mercola Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a noticeable decline in cognitive abilities that does not yet interfere with most daily functions. In the most common form of MCI, known as amnestic MCI, memory problems may occur more often than in people without the condition, and you may, for example, lose things often, forget appointments or have difficulty coming up with the right word while in conversation.1 While symptoms of MCI aren’t severe enough to hamper your normal activities, the major concern is that people with MCI have an increased risk of developing dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease. Fortunately, there

By Dr. Mercola According to the latest statistics1 for 2019, 14% of Americans aged 71 or older have some form of dementia. Alzheimer’s disease, which is the most severe and lethal form of dementia, affects an estimated 5.8 million Americans. Of those, 81% are over the age of 75, but approximately 200,000 are younger than 65. In all, 1 in 10 seniors over the age of 65 has Alzheimer’s dementia. Due to the high prevalence of dementia and the scarcity of effective conventional treatments, prevention is paramount. I’ve written many articles on this topic, highlighting several …read more Source: mercola

By Dr. Mercola As corporations continue to take control of the food supply, small family farms are giving way to concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) mass producing a surplus of poor-quality food. Conventional milk is a prime example. Milk surpluses have led the price of milk to plummet. In Wisconsin, farmers are getting nearly 40 percent less for their milk than they were in 2014. Nearly 700 dairy farms closed in the state in 2018, most of them small operations.1 As CAFOs became the norm for dairy farms (even in idyllic-seeming dairy states like Vermont), farmers trying to survive were

Its effects can also be lethal.

By none Gastroparesis is one of the serious forms of digestive illness. Also known as delayed gastric emptying, gastroparesis is a disorder that affects the stomach. It interferes with the digestion process by preventing the stomach from digesting food and pushing it into the small intestine.1 To easily understand how this disease affects your body, let’s first take a look at the role and importance of the stomach. How does the stomach work? The stomach is a jellybean-shaped organ found on the left side of the upper abdomen. It is primarily responsible for churning food and breaking down proteins.2 As

Time-restricted eating is a form of daily fasting wherein the time of the day during which a person eats is limited, or compressed. People who practice time-restricted eating typically eat during an 8- to 12-hour daytime window and fast during the remaining 12 to 16 hours. Unlike intermittent fasting, which involves caloric restriction, time-restricted eating permits a person to eat as much as they want during the eating window. Time-restricted eating aligns the eating and fasting cycles to the body’s innate 24-hour circadian system.[1] Within the scientific literature, time-restricted eating primarily refers to human trials, while time-restricted feeding primarily refers

Caffeine is one of the most used stimulants in the world with over 80% of adults in the US consuming caffeine daily. Caffeine is most commonly consumed through coffee, tea, soda, or energy drinks, but foods such as dark chocolate also have high levels of caffeine. Given the wide spread consumption of caffeine, it is important to understand how it affects our physiology. How much caffeine do you consume? The average caffeine intake in the US is 165-300mg/day (Mitchell et al., 2014). Below is a table of approximate caffeine in a single serving of common caffeine containing food and beverages.

By Lori Alton, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) A ton of satellites are scheduled to orbit and saturate every inch of planet Earth with 5G radiation. This “new” form of microwave technology will wreak havoc on human and environmental health. In preparation for the worldwide rollout of 5G technology, 60 satellites have been launched from the Kennedy Space Center, and many more are projected to follow. But, while the telecommunications industry heralds the event as the beginning of a “new era of connectivity,” natural health experts point out that not a single safety study exists to explore the environmental and biological implications

Results released as Trump’s EPA poised to approve the continued use of glyphosate in the U.S. for 15 more years A new study by Center for Environmental Health (CEH) found over 90% of families tested had glyphosate in their bodies. The study sought to determine whether children are more exposed to Monsanto’s toxic weed killer than their parents. The results were unequivocal. Nine of the twelve parent-child pairs tested (in one family both parents and two children participated), the child had higher concentrations of glyphosate in their body than their parent. Six children had twice the amount than their parents

By Dr. Mercola Glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup herbicide, is a chemical worthy of attention, in part because no other pesticide has come even close to its “intensive and widespread use.”1 The data on just how much glyphosate is sprayed in the U.S. is mind boggling, and adds up to over 1.6 billion kilograms (3.5 billion pounds) applied since 1974. This represents 19% of the glyphosate used globally during that time, and the majority (two-thirds of glyphosate applied from 1974 to 2014) has been applied in the last 10 years.2 Glyphosate …read more Source: mercola

Each organ has its own battery pack, which is a stack of muscle batteries. These muscle batteries are in
