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

By Ken Ham Questions swirl in the wake of Hurricanes Harvey and Irma pounding America: why does God allow catastrophes like this? Also, did man-made climate change increase the intensity of the storms and the flooding? Why do we see incredible examples of compassion and self-sacrifice alongside looting and price gouging? Dr. Terry Mortenson, an Answers in Genesis researcher, writer, and speaker, recently appeared as a guest on the nationally syndicated Christian radio program The Christian Worldview, hosted by David Wheaton. In light of the recent flooding and catastrophic damage, he answered the question of why God allows suffering and

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

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

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. Vegetables are on the short list of foods you should be eating more of to naturally lower your

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

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

By Creation Moments Before the Flood, people were living hundreds of years. As man grew more evil, God declared that man’s lifespan would be reduced to 120 years. Modern biology has learned that we do indeed have built-in timers in each of our cells that limit the number of times they can divide. When enough cells can no longer divide, we die. We can even do things to speed up the timers. read more …read more Source: Creation Moments

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

09/26/17 A tide of anti-Christian bigotry is growing in the corridors of Congress. Two remarkable things unfolded last week. The Democrats openly embraced socialism in the form of single-payer health care. And they announced a secular, anti-Christian test for public office. The two go together like Abbott and Costello. Or better yet, since this is far from funny, Marx and Lenin. “Democratic Socialist” Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’ scheme for a single-payer, government-run health care system has already been endorsed by 16 Democratic senators. A similar bill introduced by Rep. John Conyers, Michigan Democrat, has 117 co-sponsors.

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

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
