Garlic A Natural Way To Boost Your Immune System

Garlic has been present in many cultures for thousands of years in more ways than just as a flavoring for a tasty pasta dish. Roman soldiers used to gobble down cloves of garlic before battle in hopes that its power would give them the heroic strength to conquer. Damsels in distress used to arm themselves with garlic to keep vampires away. We know that the Egyptians used garlic as a means of commerce with fifteen bulbs matching the price of a slave.

Aside from these more frivolous uses of garlic, there is one ancient use that still holds true today—garlic’s ability to strengthen the immune system. Sanskrit records show that garlic was used for medicinal purposes as far back as 3000 BCE. Hippocrates, an ancient Greek physician, recommended garlic as a remedy for infections, digestive disorders and even cancer.

Until Alexander Fleming’s discovery of penicillin in 1928, garlic was a treatment for many illnesses. But Flemmings discovery brought on what some may call the antibiotic binge of the 20th century medical field, quickly pushing garlic to the ranks of the “poor man’s” medicine. However, as the public looks for more natural ways to boost the immune system, garlic is creeping back into the forefront of immune system strengtheners.
This member of the onion family contains three particular organosulfur compounds that act as antioxidants, reduce the risk of heart disease and prevent blood clots. Clinical studies show that they even strengthen our immune system’s cancer-fighting abilities.

From fighting off the common cold to reducing the risk of heart disease and cancer, you can’t go wrong with garlic. As garlic is known as the “stinky rose,” most are aware of the detrimental effects garlic breath can have on our social life. So you’ll be happy to hear that there are many ways to receive all of the health benefits garlic has to offer in more subtle ways—garlic supplements. Give your immune system the help it needs with an added boost of garlic strength. And don’t forget to check out our list of garlic supplements:

Digestive Enzymes they do have an important role with your body

What are enzymes? They are said to be the “powerhouse” of every cell in the body. Intertwined with nearly every system in the body, digestive enzymes determine how effectively the body breaks down food. The body can’t function without them.
We are born with some digestive enzymes. However, these alone cannot sufficiently break down all of the food that we eat. The body can produce and replenish enzymes; but still it needs more from outside sources. Natural, raw foods have enzymes in them that are designed to break down the food. These are the same molecules that make fruit ripen and then eventually rot. However, today’s food preparation processes can kill these enzymes, making digestion difficult on the body. If you cook, freeze, dry or can your food, you’ll most likely kill the enzymes your body needs for healthy digestion.
As most of today’s diets include some form of processed food, it’s likely that you have an insufficient level of digestive enzymes. This causes stress on the digestive system, which can lead to indigestion, heartburn, bloating and more. Moreover, digestive stress can affect how many nutrients your body is able to absorb. Often, those with symptoms of digestive stress have a weakened immune system.
Since it’s nearly impossible to maintain a diet of just raw, natural foods, it’s important to supply your body with the essential digestive enzymes it needs. It’s easy to do so with a safe, healthful digestive enzyme supplement that will help you feel better as you find greater health.

Liver Health Why you should Love your Liver!

As the second largest organ in the body, liver health plays a significant role in the body’s overall health. The liver is a part of the hepatic portal system, which controls essential glucagon and insulin secretion throughout the body, monitors metabolism and digestion, acts as a detoxifying organ and produces cholesterol as well as blood-clotting substances. If the health of the liver is jeopardized, all other systems in the body are affected.
If you’re not careful, your liver health can be diminished. Alcohol, medications, pollutants and even viral infections can damage the liver. Symptoms of liver problems may include chronic fatigue, yellow discolored skin and eyes, nausea or loss of appetite.
With the body relying on liver health, it is important that you do what you can to keep it strong. There are certain herbs and supplements that are known to provide essential antioxidants and other nutrients that support liver health such as milk thistle, N-acetyl cysteine, choline and SAM-e. Try our liver health supplements today to help ensure the strength of your hepatic portal system

organic definition for US

The term “organic" has a regulatory definition, at least in the United States and many other countries. But for many consumers and producers, it’s also a way of life. In recent years, more Americans are likely to state they have an interest in natural and organic products. The U.S. organic food industry has grew from $6.1 billion in 2000 to $26.7 billion in 2010.

For those shoppers who opt out of buying organic, price tends to be the reason. But the cost difference between organic and conventional is narrowing.

According to Natural Products Marketplace”

“However ... many consumers are still mixing up natural and organic, suggesting it is possible consumers are buying natural thinking they’re getting the benefits of organic ... 59 percent of respondents erroneously agreed with the statement ‘foods/beverages can be labeled as ‘natural’ so long as they meet a government standard.’”

Aloe and skin

If  you want to keep looking younger than you are, use aloe vera as a skin toner. It’s a potent moisturizer that’s almost 96 percent water that has soothing qualities and leaves your skin feeling refreshed and beautiful.

But there’s more to the story than just good skin.

What you may not know is that aloe vera is just as good for you on the inside as it is on the outside.

It’s a proven therapy to help calm and relieve an irritated stomach. Aloe gel releases natural pain-relieving salicylates that encourage healing, plus it’s antibacterial and antifungal.

Aloe enhances your immunity, improves your body’s natural defenses,¹ and fights inflammation.

It can even help you improve your blood sugar control. In fact, a new study found that taking aloe vera activates a signal in your body that directs it to store energy in your muscles instead of turning your food into stored fat.²

aging and drugs

Many of the problems associated with growing old – falls, unsteadiness and increased risk of stroke – are the direct consequence of taking a prescription drug, and now the SSRI antidepressants have been added to the list of culprits.
The SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors), which include Prozac, are often prescribed to the elderly to help them cope with their depression – but a new study has discovered they are the cause of symptoms that had been blamed on the ageing process.
The drugs quickened death, caused a stroke, a fall or fracture, triggered an epileptic fit and hyponatraemia (high salt levels in the blood), researchers from the University of Nottingham have discovered.
The researchers made the discovery after they analysed the health recods of 60,746 patients aged 65 and older who had recently been diagnosed with depression. Of these, 89 per cent had an antidepressant drug and 57 per ent of these were for an SSRI.
The SSRI drugs most likely to cause an adverse reaction were trazodone, mirtazapine and venlafaxine, and the risks were highest in the first 28 days of starting the drug and the 28 days after finishing drug treatment.

Whipworms are parasites

Some interesting Trichuris vulpis facts:

• Whipworm infections are seen in dogs, foxes and coyotes
• A female whipworm can produce more than 2000 eggs a day and whipworm eggs, which are thick walled and highly resistant to heat and drying, can live in the environment for years
• A dog with a whipworm infestation may show clinical signs before eggs are shed in feces; eggs can be shed sporadically

What Exactly Is a Whipworm?

Whipworms are parasites. The whipworm gets its name from its shape. Adult whipworms have a whip-like form -- the front end is narrower than the back end.
Full grown whipworms are no more than three inches in length. Males are quite a bit smaller than females.
The whipworm lives in the large intestine of dogs and can cause serious irritation to the lining of the colon. Adult worms dig their heads (at the thin end) deep into the intestinal mucosa and feed on material secreted by the tissues. There is often blood leakage as a result of whipworm tunneling and feeding activity.
Unlike other internal parasites, whipworms are very host-specific, meaning they rarely occur in species other than canines. They present no risk to humans. Feline whipworm infections are rare in North American domestic cats, and appear to be caused by a different species than Trichuris vulpis.
Whipworms occur in dogs worldwide, and are fairly common in shelter dogs in the U.S.

Our Pets

The whipworm, Trichuris vulpis, is a parasite that invades the cecum and colon of dogs.
In milder infections, the worms are restricted to the cecum, but as the number of worms increases, they also invade the colon. In very serious cases, worms can cover most of the wall of the large bowel, from beginning to end (cecum to rectum).
There are often no symptoms of the presence of whipworms, but a heavy infestation can cause intermittent bloody diarrhea with mucus.
This is just sad and disgusting.

Heart Attack

Brisk Walking is one of the exercise to reduce heart attack chances. When you do jogging or brisk walk the blood circulation increases and your heart works in a healthy manner.

Heart Health

PATIENTS with a history of heart disease who stop taking prescribed aspirin are nearly two-thirds more likely to have a heart attack.
A study published online by the British Medical Journal found people who stopped taking low-dose aspirin to help prevent blood clots forming were at a 60% greater risk of a non-fatal heart attack.
Up to half of long-term users are believed to stop taking aspirin which they have been prescribed.
A team of researchers from Spain and Sweden examined data on 39,513 patients from The Health Improvement Network, a database of UK health records that includes data from Scotland.
The patients were aged between 50 and 84 and had been prescribed aspirin between 2000 and 2007. They were followed up for around three years.
The researchers found that, in the space of a year, for every 1000 patients there were four more non-fatal heart attacks among those who had recently stopped taking low-dose aspirin than those who had continued.
The team's results led to a call for more research into whether encouraging patients to keep taking low-dose aspirin would lead to a decrease in heart attacks.
Official figures show 19,641 people in Scotland have coronary heart disease, and 11,449 people suffered heart attacks in 2009/10

Walking

Enjoy your walks, they bring down stress and make you feel great.  You should walk as much as possible and if you can walk in the grass without your shoes feels great and grounding.

Life Expectancy

Life expectancy has more to do with your lifestyle than with your parent's genetics. Researchers tracked 855 people & found non smokers, people w/low blood pressure & cholesterol, & those who exercise regularly pushed themselves into their nineties & beyond

loooooosing weight:)

Some parts of the body lose fat more quickly than others, merely due to the body’s natural fat loss sequencing. Weight loss is the exact reverse of weight gain when referring to your overall body & their respective areas. There are minute differences in men & women, age, medical history, etc, but as a whole it’s pretty predictable. We gain weight in our mid-section, then our back side & thighs, your arms & lastly your face & neck. So when losing weight it’s the exact opposite.

health and fitness

People who skip breakfast are 450% more likely to be obese. I found this statistic staggering. Eat 30-35% of your calories early and you absolutely have to have both carbs and protein. You want to eat a majority of your carbs early in the day. If you have a hard time eating in the morning, break it up like I do and eat about 200 calories right after you wake up then another 200 at 10:00 am. :-
