| | Balance your health in a natural way | | 2008-08-27 21:58:43 | | Balance your health in a natural way according to a 5,000 year old perfected health care system. India's Vedic Naturopath System called "Ayurveda". Be a part of Ayurveda, the Spiritual Health Science which could be the World's health care system of the next millennium. Keeping in good health is our best investment for prevention of the sickness that come as we get older.In the west people generally judge their health according to their muscle tone however in the east they see the internal organs as being the most important aspect of good health. All imbalances result "not" from poor muscle tone but from poor internal organ function. Regular use of quality herbs, a healthy ayurvedic diet according to your constitution and exercise can help keep our internal organs strong and healthy so in old age we have a much better chance of warding off sickness that result from poor internal organ function.

| | Massachusetts Makes Strides in Expanding Health-Insurance Coverage | | 2008-08-27 09:09:21 | | By Dena Rifkin, MDI have to give a gold star to my home state this week. Massachusetts just announced an impressive increase in the number of residents with health insurance. Since the June 2006 launch of a program aimed to extend health-care coverage to every resident, more than 400,000 people have joined the ranks of the insured. You can read about the ongoing health-care reform efforts at the official state site or in the Wall Street Journal’s health blog. There is continuing debate about how the financial side of this will work out, and it’s clear that everyone is watching Massachusetts to see how this experiment goes. One fact stood out to me in the reports though: The Boston Globe says that visits by the uninsured to community health centers and hospitals dropped by 37% from July 2007 to September 2007 compared with the same time period the year before.

| Health Tip: Taking an Antibiotic | | 2008-08-27 02:57:00 | | (HealthDay News) -- Antibiotics can help you recover from a bacterial infection, but they offer no medical benefit against viruses.Prescribing an antibiotic for an viral illness, in fact, isn't a good idea. Overuse of these medicines can make the bacteria in your body resistant to the drugs. The medicines then lose their effectiveness, making a bacterial illness harder to treat.The American Academy of Family Physicians lists these illnesses that are often treated with an antibiotic, and a few that don't need the medication:Colds and flu are caused by viruses, and won't respond to antibiotics. Cough and bronchitis are usually caused by viruses. However, people with chronic lung problems or those who have a cough that lasts a long time may need antibiotics. While a regular sore throat is caused by a virus, strep throat is a bacterial infection that requires antibiotic treatment. Ear and sinus infections should be evaluated by a doctor, since many are caused by bacteria, while others are | | By: Integrative Medicine (CAM) Blog | | |
| | Does Salt Matter Your Heart Health? | | 2008-08-26 20:49:00 | | We add salt into our food to make it tasty. Occasionally, we also put salt into our mouth if we have ulcer because it can make the ulcer healed faster. In older time when we do not have refrigerator, salt was used to preserve our food for longer period of time.Salt, also known as sodium chloride, is a mineral that is needed by our body everyday. Our body requires a certain amount of salt to regulate our blood circulation and balance the tissue fluids which transport oxygen and nutrients to various parts of our body. Salt also helps the electrical charges to move in and out of our cells, allowing our body to control tactile processes like taste and smell. It is also essential for the contraction of muscle, particularly the heart muscle.It seems that salt is one thing that we cannot live without. However, our body needs only 1 teaspoonful or 6g of salt daily while the amount consumed by most people is well above the minimum required level.

| | Himalayan Salt For Health | | 2008-08-26 01:10:00 | | Have you ever thought much about salt except to not eat too much of it? About a year ago I switched to sea salt because it offers more health benefits than plain table salt. Last month I learned about Himalayan salt. It has over 80 minerals so it's like taking a mineral supplement. How cool is that?Unrefined salt is living salt. Table salt is actually 97.5% sodium chloride and 2.5% chemicals such as moisture absorbents, and iodine. Dried at over 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit, the excessive heat alters the natural chemical structure of the salt. Himalayan is by far the best salt to use. If you have high blood pressure don't be afraid to add Himalayan salt to your diet. This is a different food than refined table salt.Yes it will cost more than table salt. I think of it as taking a mineral supplement without anything synthetic.You can buy Himalayan Pink Salt from Salt Works here. This salt comes fine or course. I use a course grain.

So it's important for parents to help them deal with their concerns in healthy ways.The Nemours Foundation offers these suggestions to help put your child's worries to rest:Take time to talk about what's worrying your child.

Show your child how to react to concerns by being a good role model.

But if it seems like you're excessively thirsty all the time, it may be a sign of a serious health problem.Here are common causes of excessive thirst, courtesy of the U.S. National Library of Medicine:Significant blood loss or loss of body fluids, caused by an underlying health condition. Diabetes or diabetes insipidus. A side effect of certain drugs, including anticholinergics, demeclocycline, diuretics or phenothiazines.

| | Popular Diets Are Harmful to Your Health | | 2008-08-25 21:25:00 | | Most diet books focus on greatly increasing or removing one of The Big Three. Some of the most popular recent trends have been removing most fats or carbohydrates, or greatly increasing protein intake, in the diet. However, nutritional research shows that these approaches are not only not optimal for disease prevention, but may actually be harmful to your health. Let's now look at several of these popular diets and some of the misinformation and misconceptions commonly associated with them. Low-Fat Diets Different Apo E genotypes need varying amounts of fat, and no one should remove all the fat from their diet. There are good fats and bad fats. The good ones are unprocessed polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats that have a positive reaction on the cell. They include nuts, seeds, olives, and avocados. Over-exposure to the bad ones — trans fats especially and too many saturated fats — causes cellular inflammation, which in turn leads to disease.

Today Sue shares her experience with shopping for real food and how this relates to her weight loss journey.Thanks Sue for another well written and really helpful article."I want to eat right, but I don't always do it." Does that sound at all like you?There are about a dozen books on my shelf that talk about the nutritional value of foods, and which ones are best and which ones to avoid. Some of them agree with each other, and a few don't. Some say eat when you are hungry and don't when you're not. Some say eat small meals on a regular basis to keep from getting hungry. Some say eat fat, some say remove the fat. Some allow brown rice, whole wheat bread and whole grain pasta, some say NO grains at all. I'm often confused about the specifics, but that's not the reason I haven't lost much weight when I try. Mostly I'm guilty of failing to plan ahead.So I went shopping with a list.

20 Cancer Fighting Foods To Give You That Extra Prevention Punch
Heidi had mentioned on her blog post about curry containing curcumin and its relevant benefits - check the post out for more information. I wanted to add that I had found turmeric particularly useful. (I firstly purchased some Turmeric tablets as pain killers then on a particularly dry, hot Summer's day found that they appeared to stop the effects of hayfever which I occasionally experience. I then decided to read up on their properties and found them to have anti-histamin qualities) Turmeric can be purchased in tablet form (it contains around 95% curcumin).
Turmeric is listed as an anti-histamine and pain killer but also has anti-viral properties - in addition it allegedly has the ability to be able to mop up the unstable oxygen molecules that are commonly known as 'free radicals' which cause extensive cell damage. | | By: Random Ramblings | | |

| | Health Tip: Monitor the Mercury in Your Food | | 2008-08-22 10:40:54 | | (HealthDay News) -- Mercury is found in many types of fish and shellfish. Because significant amounts of mercury can harm unborn babies and young children, women who are or may become pregnant, those who are nursing, and young children should avoid some kinds of seafood.The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency offers these guidelines:Avoid eating fish that contain high levels of mercury, including swordfish, shark, king mackerel and tilefish. It's OK to eat up to 12 ounces per week of low-mercury fish and shellfish -- including shrimp, salmon, canned light tuna, pollock and catfish.

What we know about the brain expands almost daily as new science finds more and more nuances that control our perception of life around us. We know that it controls what keeps us alive: respiration, digestion, heartbeat and a number of other involuntary or automatic functions of the body. Without our brain constantly working in the background, we would not be able to live. It also controls what we call -Our Higher Functions- or things we are consciously doing day-to-day - abstract thinking, reasoning, dreaming and thought. Considered superior to any other species, our brain is responsible for our culture, advancements and higher level thinking including reading, speech and extrapolation.

| | Five Tips For Teen Health, Teen Fitness, And College Health | | 2008-08-14 17:33:02 | | Anyone who is concerned with teen health, teen fitness and college health, need to look no farther than your local gym floor to see why there is such a problem with teen fitness today.Students don’t know the first thing about college health or teen health, and that is drastically affecting their expanding waistline. Students who are concerned with teen fitness need to alter their workout easier in order to become more fit.College health is tough to regulate because of the late night parties, all you can eat buffets and drastically different lifestyle. Also, college students are much less likely to be as active as they were in high school, then teen health was much easier to come by (think 3-sport athlete).Most teens, unfortunately, know nothing about teen health and teen fitness, and it shows in gyms across the country.

Do not rub your eye. If you can't find the particle, gently pull down the skin beneath your eye and look under the lower lid. Also gently grasp the upper lid and look underneath there, as well.Try to gently rinse the eye or eyelid with water when you find the particle.

Make time to have a regular bowel movement, such as after a meal. Get plenty of fiber in your diet, drink plenty of fluids every day, and get regular exercise.Avoid foods that are high in sugar and fat. Don't take laxatives too frequently. Overuse can actually damage your bowels and aggravate constipation.
