When your wrist gets sore, you don’t automatically think of food as a treatment. And maybe it’s not necessarily one, either. But it might be a preventative tool. Managing inflammation is one of the ways to treat or prevent pain. Your diet plays a major role in inflammation in the body, and although eating a piece of fish or a handful of blueberries might not diminish the pain after banging your wrist on the counter, they might help prevent painful arthritic flare-ups. There is some evidence to suggest that an anti-inflammatory diet, rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and fiber, may work to combat inflammatory arthritis and promote healthy joints. Food, therefore, may reduce the frequency, duration, and severity of flare-ups. But there is one catch: the foods must be cons...

If you practice yoga, meditation, or another mindfulness practice, you may be helping your body to manage its blood sugar level. If you don’t, it might be worth starting. New research has found that mindfulness activities may help people with Type 2 diabetes lower their blood sugar levels. The effects of these activities may be substantial, too. The research has shown that doing these activities worked almost as well as standard treatments such as taking the medication metformin. It’s important to note that these practices are best used in addition to standard diabetes treatment and not as a replacement. In any event, mindfulness activities are worth a try. More than 37 million people have diabetes, with the vast majority having Type 2. The condition develops w...

Purslane is a superfood you may have never heard of. This humble weed is a treasure hiding in plain sight, commonly found growing in the cracks of sidewalks, along the edges of driveways, and in other urban environments. It also happens to be one of the most nutritious greens on the planet and a powerful healing herb that has been used in Western herbalism and Chinese medicine for millennia. “Recent research demonstrates that purslane has better nutritional quality than the major cultivated vegetables, with higher beta-carotene, ascorbic acid, and alpha-linolenic acid. Additionally, purslane has been described as a power food because of its high nutritive and antioxidant properties,” Malaysian researchers note in a 2014 review published in Scientific World Journal. Purslane i...

Did you know that your gut health and your digestive tract are closely tied to your immune system?A lot of us don’t know but there is a strong link between the two. The digestive system is a long tube-like muscle composed of a lining that filters toxins out of our digestive system and into our bloodstream which takes it to our liver where “all the magic” is made. Hormones, digestive enzymes, and everything that is used in the body for repair and rebuilding first travel to the liver. Nutrients are broken down from the food we eat, digested, and then sorted into what is needed for the body and what should be removed through the digestive tract. The liver is like a huge manufacturing and detoxification plant where many different jobs take place simultaneously. When our digestive linin...

https://www.theepochtimes.com/covid-vaccine-injury-data-143233-percent-increase-in-cancer_4699328.html?utm_source=share-btn- In addition to cancers relapsing, there are also cases of sudden cancer development in previously cancer-free people after vaccination. Cheryl Rolf shared her late husband John Rolf’s experience with a sudden onset of esophageal cancer within a month or two after vaccination. “He was vaccinated with the first vaccine March 1st of 2021, and then the second vaccine on March 29th,” Cheryl Rolf, his wife told The Epoch Times during a phone call. A few days after his second vaccination, John, who had always been healthy, started to cough, and soon he would sporadically choke on his food, and “that gradually increased in frequency over time.” In Augu...

Even as a single mom I made sure we had this special time each day. I know with the sports and outside activities it isn't always easy however planning one or two days a week (we have 7 days) could be feasible. No IPADS and no TV, make sure everyone is present in body, mind and spirit and let everyone do a download on what is happening in their life. Experts have long suggested that family dinners serve many health benefits. Now, a new survey from the American Heart Association backs that up: An overwhelming 91 percent of parents said their family is less stressed when they break bread with each other. “Sharing meals with others is a great way to reduce stress, boost self-esteem and improve social connection, particularly for kids,” said Dr. Erin Michos, American Heart ...

Blood sugar imbalance has short- and long-term effects on the body. When blood sugar is well-controlled, we have better control over our energy levels, mood, cravings, weight, and overall performance. In the short term, poorly controlled blood sugar levels can cause brain fog and low energy, and make us feel grumpy. Over time, out-of-control blood sugar can lead to prediabetes, Type II diabetes, and many of the health complications associated with diabetic conditions. There’s a lot of information and lifestyle advice about treating and preventing diabetic conditions. Upon being diagnosed with prediabetes or Type II diabetes, trying to understand this information can be overwhelming. Between testing, monitoring, taking medications, and measuring food intake—and timing it all...

Someone I know shared that they came back from a meditation retreat excited about the meaningful possibilities they had envisioned on the retreat—new projects, opportunities, and important stuff they wanted to create. It’s so incredible to be excited about meaningful possibilities! And then they got home, and there were piles of tasks, emails, and messages waiting for them. The urgency of those piles distracted them from their better intentions. The urgency of piles throws off all of our best-laid plans. We have to deal with piles all the time: Tasks piling up on our to-do listsEmails and messages piling up in our inboxesPapers piling up on our desks and documents piling up on our computer desktopsTabs piling up in the browserChores and errands piling up, phone calls needing...

There’s an easy way to reduce your risk for dementia, heart disease, and cancer: Start walking. Getting in those recommended 10,000 steps a day makes a real difference, new research affirms, but even fewer will pay big dividends. No matter how many you log, however, step up your pace for the biggest benefit. For every 2,000 steps you log, up to about 10,000 a day, your risk of early death drops by between 8% and 11%, researchers found. “So, 10,000 steps maximizes the chances of getting all these benefits, but also for inactive people who can’t engage in so many steps — any steps have benefits — every step counts,” said lead researcher Borja del Pozo Cruz of the Center for Active and Healthy Aging at the University of Southern Denmark in Odense. And, he added, it’s nev...
