By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola The connection between your food and mood has come under increasing scientific scrutiny in the past couple of decades. William Dufty brought early attention to this link with his book, “Sugar Blues.” Written over 30 years ago, it has become a classic. Another classic is “The Omega-3 Connection,” written by Dr. Andrew Stoll, published in 2001. This was one of the first books to bring attention to and support the use of omega-3 fats for depression. A third early pioneer that brought attention to the nutritional underpinnings of psychiatric …read more Source: mercola
By Jonathan Landsman (Naturalhealth365) The rise of “superbugs” – antibiotic-resistant microbes such as MRSA – has been labeled a public health crisis by the World Health Organization. Meanwhile, healthcare costs continue to rise – while chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease, cancer and autoimmune disorders increase – at an alarming rate. Clearly, Western medicine has failed to successfully address these issues surrounding immunity and disease prevention. But, according to a well-known leader in the field of integrative medicine, Russell Jaffe, MD, PhD, CCN, the solution is quite …read more Source: Natural Health 365
By Julie Fidler Plastic utensils are convenient and straws are fun for kids, but much of that plastic eventually winds up in a landfill or as litter. The environment is paying dearly for the 300 million tons of plastic produced globally each year, and if changes aren’t made, and fast, the problem is only going to get worse. The city of Seattle, Washington, has already banned single-use plastic bags in an effort to reduce plastic pollution, and on July 1, 2018, a new ban on plastic straws and utensils at restaurants will go into effect.

By Dena Schmidt, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) The environmental dangers of glyphosate in Roundup and other weed killer products have been well documented. Now new research, from a team led by Paul Mills of the University of California San Diego, has found it could be negatively affecting human health – especially in lower-income communities, as illustrated by the 1,208 percent increase in human glyphosate levels. The study tracked people in southern California over age 50 from the years 1993 to 1996 as well as from 2014 to 2016. Urine samples were collected from these …read more Source: Natural Health 365
By Hesh Goldstein Through the process of photosynthesis, plants convert the energy of the sun, carbon dioxide from the air, and minerals and water from the earth into atomic bonds that are solid enough for teeth to sink into. We can consume these forms of energy directly, by eating plant foods, or indirectly, by eating animals that have eaten these plant foods. The process, by which food gets broken down in the body and by which the energy released from the atomic bonds, is called digestion. Eating the right combinations and amounts of foods to provide energy and make it

By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola Aside from being rich in valuable nutrients such as fiber, vitamins B and C, calcium, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, selenium and zinc, mushrooms are also excellent sources of antioxidants, including some that are entirely unique to mushrooms.

It has emerged young Guides members are not being invited to thank God during grace, under guidance being issued to leaders in a bid boost inclusivity. While acknowledging that it “may be traditional to say or sing grace before a meal” during a residential event, the advice urges leaders to consider “how this might make members who are from a different faith, or have no faith, feel.” It recommends: “If you’d like to say something before a meal, try to think of a statement that doesn’t make reference to any particular god or faith.

Over the past several months I’ve been covering the rapid acceleration toward mandatory biometric identification at U.S. airports. At the core of this increased push is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection mandate 15 years in the making to integrate government databases for ID verification. As we’ve seen with airlines such as JetBlue, private companies will be merged into the government system in order to speed up biometric processing. JetBlue is working with U.S. Customs and Border Protection and SITA, an information-technology provider for airlines. … “This is the first integration of biometric authorization by the

As the World Health Organization (WHO) notes, antibiotic resistance is present in every country.1 The Review on Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR), which was commissioned in July 2014 by the U.K. prime minister and produced its final report in 2016, further explained that without action to curb the growing rates of antimicrobial resistance worldwide, we’re headed for an era where antibiotics stop working and “we’re cast back into the Dark Ages of medicine.”2 It’s possible that nature may

By Dr Lauren Deville, NMD What Leaky Gut Is The terms “leaky gut” and increased intestinal permeability refer to the same thing, and the idea is this: the junctions in your small intestine ought to be tight enough that nothing can get in or out unassisted. In a leaky gut, the junctions are loose enough that food particles can come in contact with the bloodstream prematurely (before they’ve been broken down into something your bloodstream would recognize and be able to use). Your blood therefore thinks the food particles are foreign invaders, and it creates antibodies against them. Symptoms in

By Dena Schmidt, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) Ionizing radiation, even at small doses, such as those used in performing x-rays, can have a harmful effect on the cardiovascular system, researchers have found. This means radiation exposure equivalent to recurrent CT scanning can increase your risk for cardiovascular disease, according to researchers from Helmholtz Zentrum München, German Research Center for Environmental Health. But, what’s most disturbing is: the new research shows that even very low amounts of radiation – about 0.5 Gy (equivalent to getting semi-regular CT scans) – can raise the risk of …read more Source: Natural Health 365
