By Admin – Orissa Traditional fats such as coconut oil and butter are high in saturated fats. Modern processed cooking oil such as corn and soybean oil, the new vegetable oils that are polyunsaturated, have only been in the food chain since World War II, and contain dangerous trans fatty acids. by Paul Fassa Health Impact News Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is rapidly becoming an international epidemic. The mainstream medical mantra for its underlying cause is “fat consumption.” However, “fat” is a very general term and does not distinguish between traditional healthy fats and unhealthy modern processed fats …read

By Seth Pollard You might have cravings for sweet treats while you’re pregnant, but a recent study shows that pregnant women who overindulge may be more likely to have a child with allergies or asthma. [1] Researchers from Queen Mary University in London studied nearly 9,000 women who gave birth during the 1990s and their children. Compared to children whose mothers ate the least amount of sugar (less than 7 teaspoons daily), children born to moms who ate the most (16-69 teaspoons a day) were 73% more likely to be diagnosed with two or more types of allergies, and 101%

By Jonathan Landsman (NaturalHealth365) There is growing consensus – among holistically-minded healthcare providers and conventionally-trained physicians alike – that chronic inflammation is the root cause of chronic disease. And chronic disease, from arthritis to cancer to diabetes, is currently endemic within the Western world. In fact, the National Council on Aging reports that a shocking 80 percent of people 65 and over suffer from at least one chronic disease condition. (Of course, younger people can be affected as well.) Although Western medicine attempts to treat chronic inflammation with a variety of …read more Source: Natural Health 365

By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola Spending time outdoors can significantly lift your mood, so it’s no surprise that outdoors activities such as gardening and nature hikes1 have been found to be good therapy. In one survey,2 80 percent of gardeners reported being “happy” and satisfied with their lives, compared to 67 percent of non-gardeners, and the more time spent in the garden, the greater their life satisfaction. Among volunteers at an outdoor conservation project, a whopping 100 percent said participation improved their mental health and boosted their confidence and self-esteem.3 This general well-being among gardeners is typically …read more

By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola Your brain works in mysterious ways, many of which we’re only beginning to understand. As part of your day to day daily grind, your brain may actually run on autopilot much of the time. In fact, research suggests people may be mentally “checked out” — focused not on the present moment, the world around them or a particular given task, but rather on their own thoughts nearly half the time.1 This mental state of blasé, in turn, generally makes us unhappy, likely because our minds turn to unsettling thoughts, past arguments, worries or other

By Sierra Bright There are numerous types of oils that benefit health and wellbeing such as krill oil. Often overlooked, emu oil contains potent properties including omega-3’s that can reduce inflammation and remedy skin conditions. An Australian study found that emu oil used both topically and orally can reduce inflammation. According to researchers, emu oil is especially effective in treating inflammation in the gastrointestinal system. The emu is a flightless bird from Australia that is similar to an ostrich. Emus are comprised mainly of fatty acids. Aborigines from Australia, known to have been the oldest group of people on earth,

By Lori Alton, staff writer (NaturalHealth365) Air pollution is a global health crisis and being linked to the rise in Alzheimer’s disease. The WHO reports that the most popular form of dementia (Alzheimer’s) contributes to 5.4 percent of all deaths worldwide, and living in areas with a high degree of air pollution is known to increase the odds of heart disease, cancer and stroke. But, now, a scientific study is giving rise to concern that iron-based particles generated by industrial and automotive pollution could be an environmental risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease. Abundant …read more Source: Natural Health 365

Genesis 1 says that God created the universe and all it contains in six 24-hour days. This account is not difficult to understand. Its grammatical structure clearly falls within the narrative genre; in other words, it is a historical account.

By Ken Ham A recent article in The Federalist was titled “How Vacation Bible School Drove Millennials Away from Church.” While we wouldn’t agree with everything in the article, the author’s main point is one we’ve noticed—many VBS curricula are shallow and focus more on the outside trappings, like decorations, crafts, and music, instead of teaching the kids biblical content—and how to defend the Christian faith which is under attack all around us. The author writes that many VBS programs “sneak in the most minimalistic of teachings on Jesus (if you’re lucky) or ‘God’ generically understood.” He goes on to

By Mike Barrett The World Health Organization (WHO) is warning that antibiotic-resistant strains of gonorrhea are on the rise, and about 78 million people per year could be at risk for the sexually-transmitted disease (STD). [1] In a recent report, the WHO explains how researchers looked at data from gonorrhea cases and antibiotic resistance from 77 countries. Of those countries: 97% of those that reported data from 2009 to 2014 had cases that were resistant to ciprofloxacin; 81% reported cases were resistant to azithromycin; 66% had infections resistant to cephalosporin.

Let’s hear it for the bacteria! Round two. Outsmart the human immune system. This round gets a little more complicated. Borrelia Burgdorferi, that teamed up with other co-infective bacteria (like Bartonella) in round one; developed a strategy to use the human immune system to their advantage. Imagine that! The cytokine response to bacterial infection is so powerful that these parasitic freeloaders have learned to manipulate the host-–cytokine pathway for their own benefit.

By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola Unfortunately, just because it’s sold over-the-counter does not make products safe for use. In fact, there are almost 13,000 chemicals used in cosmetics and only 10 percent have been tested for safety. Although the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has the authority to regulate ingredients in cosmetics and personal care products, they often do not exercise it. Personal care products are allowed to reach store shelves without any prior approval by any agency. Only after a product has demonstrated harm, has been misbranded or adulterated, may the FDA take action. According to the

This mycotoxin inhibits protein synthesis, and infects every single organ of your body.3 Fungi …read
