]]> It’s spring, and time for a fresh start after the long, cold winter.
I just emptied out a storage unit and I am sorting, filing, tossing out, donating, organizing, and cleaning it all up.

If you are like me, we’ve had the house all closed up, and now it’s time to air it out, let in some clean, fresh air, and brighten up our home and environment.

A few simple things to start with are:
1. Open up the windows and doors and let the fresh air into your house. Replace the filters of your air conditioning system.
2. Wash your windows. It can be an amazing way to make your home or office look clean and refreshing.
3. Bring in a beautiful plant to lift your spirits and help clean toxins out of the air.
4. Clean out your refrigerator and pantry.
5. De-clutter closets, rooms, drawers, etc. Start to redistribute or throw out things that you haven’t used in a year or more, or that are old, broken or don’t make you feel happy.

One thing to be aware of as you are doing your cleaning, is that most of our cleaning care products today are a mixture of synthetic chemicals, including known allergens. These products are based on age-old recipes, that used to include natural ingredients.

But over the years, many of our cleaning products have changed, and many of them now contain toxic, carcinogenic ingredients. These can cause health problems when exposed to them on a regular basis. The federal Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act, which governs the safety of cleaning and personal care products, does not require manufacturers to substantiate the safety of their products before selling them.

For example, some US soaps, detergents, shampoos and conditioners will often contain two chemical preservatives — methylisothiazolinone and methylchloroisothiazolinone. These chemicals have been banned in the European Union for use in personal care products, on the grounds that they are sensitizing allergens. The U.S. has no restrictions, even though your skin is repeatedly exposed to these substances when used.

Product labels can list “fragrance” as an ingredient. “Fragrance” is a generic term, which allows a number of carcinogenic chemicals to be added to a product in order to make it smell good, without having to be listed.

These chemical mixtures often contain toxic individual ingredients that have been linked to cancer, endocrine disruption and serious allergic reactions. By using the term “fragrance” on the label, companies can avoid telling consumers the truth about what is actually in the product.
If one company sells its products in Europe and in the US, it can make a particular product with two different recipes and two separate labels, but they will look virtually identical.

In Europe, where the regulation of ingredients in products is much stricter, it’s container will have to state that it contains seven known allergens in its “fragrance.” In the US, the list of known toxins is not required. As is the case with all (personal and household) products, companies can use almost any mixture of chemicals they choose.

The US federal law regulating the personal care and household products industry has one of the weakest regulatory programs in the world, and it remains almost unchanged since 1938!

The quality of the ingredients in your household cleaning products is extremely important. Buy environmentally safe, non-toxic home cleaners. If you would like to see a list of highly rated green products that are carefully rated by the EWG (a non-profit group that does independent analyses of products for their safety, non-toxicity, and effectiveness).

Here is another thing to be aware of. Since our pets and children are much lower to the ground, their faces and noses can pick up toxic chemicals much easier. This can cause many health problems, including nerve damage and allergies, and more, since these toxins go directly into the bloodstream through the skin, without being filtered.

Household cleaners and body care items, such as soaps, detergents, household cleaners, toothpastes, shampoo, and conditioners should ideally be non-toxic and non-carcinogenic, in order to protect you, your family, pets, friends and the environment.

Have you ever read the ingredients and warnings on your bottle of cleaner?

The other day, I was at a friend’s home and she had just mopped her floor.
I got an immediate headache and started feeling sick. I asked her if I could look on the bottle of the cleaner she had used.
The label on the bottle had a warning that stated if you breathe in the fumes of this product, to call the poison control immediately.
I told her that many of these cleaners are highly toxic and can cause more harm than good.
She wanted to kill germs, so she thought she was doing the right thing.
Her grandchild crawling on the floor and her little 16 year old dog, whose face is always very close to the floor, would be much better off if she used non-toxic cleaners.

Non-toxic cleaning can give you a wonderful feeling, knowing that your family’s and pet’s health is protected, and that your home is a place for
everyone’s bodies to rest and regenerate in a clean, healthy environment. You also might want to consider going back to making your own cleaning products, using completely safe, non-toxic ingredients. They are extremely easy to make, and very inexpensive. Invite your children to help you, like mixing recipes in the kitchen. (Make it a science project!)

Most of the ingredients are staples that you already have in your kitchen pantry.
With a few simple mixtures, you can easily transform your house into a non-toxic, healthy home.
Following are some of my favorite non-toxic household cleaner recipes.

Basic Cleaner for Surfaces

Hydrogen Peroxide (3%) and White Vinegar
In a study conducted at Virginia Tech University on household cleaners that kill germs (including salmonella), the most effective cleaner was a combination of 3% hydrogen peroxide (like you purchase at the pharmacy) in conjunction with white vinegar. The hydrogen peroxide and vinegar were put into separate spray bottles. One was sprayed on a contaminated surface, immediately followed by the other. Used in this way, the sprays were more effective at killing germs than any store bought product. It didn’t matter which one was sprayed first, the vinegar or the peroxide.
DO NOT be tempted to combine the hydrogen peroxide and the vinegar in one bottle, because it results in peracetic acid, which is potentially harmful. Use the 3% hydrogen peroxide from the pharmacy instead of a food grade hydrogen peroxide, which is much stronger and needs to be used with extreme caution.

Window Cleaner
Combine 2 cups of water, 1⁄4 cup of rubbing alcohol (isopropyl), 1⁄4 cup white vinegar, 2 tsp. corn starch and a 1⁄4 cup lemon juice in a spray bottle.
Shake well before using.  Spray this mixture on glass or windows, and wipe with a micro-fiber cloth.

Scrub for Counters, Sinks, and Stoves
Combine 2 cups baking soda, 1⁄2 cup Castile soap, 4 teaspoons vegetable glycerin, and a few drops essential oil (lavender, peppermint, or tea tree). Store in a sealed jar.
 
Drain Opener
Pour 1⁄2 cup baking soda into the drain, and then pour in 1⁄2 cup white vinegar.
Let stand 30 minutes. Flush with boiling water.

Furniture Polish
Combine 1⁄4 cup olive oil with 1⁄2 cup white vinegar. Add 2 teaspoons lemon juice.
Apply to furniture, and then wipe.

I also buy and use Tung Oil, which is an all natural oil.

Toilet Bowl Cleaner
Sprinkle the bowl of the toilet with baking soda and add in a little white vinegar.
Wait 30 minutes. Then scrub. You can also add 1⁄4 cup borax.

Purchased Cleaners
I buy Thieves Household Cleaner, and other Thieves cleaners made by Young Living Oils. It is my favorite manufactured cleaner to use on the floor and walls. It is safe for septic systems, has no harsh chemical smell, and is effective for deep cleaning.

I also like non-toxic cleaner brands Myers, Seventh Generation, and Planet. I buy these non-toxic cleaners for dishwashers, laundry, dishes, and more.

Creating that healthy home and office environment that supports you and your family’s health and well-being can be extremely rewarding.
Don’t put it off another day. Put on some uplifting music and start it today!

More than a recipe, this soup is a cherished tradition in my home during colder months. It’s rich, satisfying, and a testament to the joy of simple, home-cooked meals.

This hearty, nourishing soup is my go-to for winter meals. Its humble ingredients meld together to create a symphony of nutritious hearty flavor. It’s a bowl full of comfort.

Lentils are one of the main ingredients. They are delicious and nutrient-dense, offering plant-based protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals.

I suggest always buying the “organic” lentils, because the non-organic varieties are usually saturated with the Roundup Ready herbicide to expedite harvest. This toxic residue penetrates the plant and cannot be removed by washing or cooking. What we consume becomes our cells, tissues, and blood, underscoring the importance of quality.

 I serve it with some crusty, whole, sprouted-grain bread.

Ingredients

2 T. extra virgin, pure coconut oil
2 onions, chopped
3 carrots, chopped
3⁄4 tsp. marjoram
3⁄4 tsp. thyme
1 tsp. unrefined, mineral-rich salt (or to taste)
1⁄4 tsp. black pepper
1⁄2 tsp. ground caraway seeds
3 c. tomatoes (crushed or diced)
7 c. non-chlorinated water
1 c. sprouted lentils, rinsed
1/3 c. fresh parsley or 2 T. dried parsley
1⁄2 c. or more cheddar cheese, grated
(from cows or goats that are grass-fed and humanely raised)

Directions

1. Sauté́ the oil, onions, carrots, marjoram, thyme, ground caraway seeds, salt, and pepper about 4–5 minutes in a large soup pot.
2. Add tomatoes and stir for a couple of minutes.
3. Add water and sprouted lentils.
4. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook 45 minutes, or 
until lentils are soft.
5. Remove from heat and add parsley.
6. Sprinkle with cheese, if using.
7. Serve warm.

Note: You can purchase sprouted lentils or you can soak the lentils overnight in non- chlorinated water, then drain them before cooking.

The post Have Better Vision And Eye Health appeared first on Organic Healthy Life - Nancy Addison - Nutrition.

]]> Vision is something that is especially important to me. Having been diagnosed with degenerative eyesight when I was a teenager, I have spent a lot of time researching what affects our vision. I not only wanted to protect my eyesight, but also to improve it as much as possible.

Let’s look at the various things that can affect our eyesight.

In today’s world, we are surrounded by electromagnetic radiation just about everywhere we go. With the satellites they have launched, no one on earth can escape it. Electromagnetic radiation can cause dry eyes. Lubrication of the eyes is extremely important. Dry eyes can cause vision loss, and if the dryness is left too long, it can cause corneal scarring and permanent vision loss.

I make my own saline solution. I use purified water that I add a tiny bit of mineral-rich salt to, and then I stir it in a circular motion until it creates a vortex. The stirring creates structure, and then I store it in a clean eye-drop bottle. When my eyes feel dry, I simply put a few drops of my mineral-rich structured-water drops in my eyes. (1)

Dr. Bryan Ardis just released two in-depth videos regarding cataracts, which are the one of the main causes of blindness in the world. He found that over 70 commonly prescribed pharmaceutical drugs are a direct cause of cataract formation, which is a leading cause of blindness. Click here for part one of his cataract series.

Dr. Ardis also found that Vitamin C is one of the main natural remedies to help protect the eyes, along with Vitamin D, quercetin, taurine, and glutathione. Click here for the link for part two of his cataract series.

Diet alone might not change your vision, but adding certain foods to your diet might ensure that your eyes get all of the optimum nutrition they need. Make certain that you include specific food groups into your diet that can aid in restoring your vision naturally.

Some of the specific vitamins that have been shown to help with eye health are Vitamins A, B-complex, C, D, E, zinc, lutein, Omega-3 fatty acids, quercetin, taurine, glutathione, chromium, and magnesium. Many of these nutrients are destroyed in the soil and the food by the herbicides used on them (like Round-Up, containing the glyphosate chemical). Foods grown in this way are deficient of these important vitamins and minerals. I recommend buying certified organic, non-GMO foods whenever possible, because they should contain the maximum amount of nutrition.

At the top of the list is Vitamin A. Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin. There are 2 different types of Vitamin A:

1. Retinol (preformed) – This type of Vitamin A is found in meat, poultry, fish, and dairy products. This type of Vitamin A can be used directly by the body.

2. Carotenoid (provitamin) – This form of Vitamin A is found in fruits, vegetables, and other plant foods. It is converted to retinol by the body after being consumed. Beta-carotene is one of the most common and effective types of Vitamin A.

(Carotene and carotenoid are two types of accessory pigments of photosynthesis found in fruits, vegetables, algae, and photosynthetic bacteria.)

Vitamin A is found in rich plant-based foods. These are the orange and yellow fruits and vegetables.

Beta-carotene is a specific carotenoid found plants and fruits. It has a red-orange coloration when isolated. Beta-carotene is the most common carotene found in plants. In humans and other animals, beta-carotene becomes a precursor for Vitamin A, and must be consumed in the diet for survival. Beta-carotene is a major part of a strong immune system. Once beta-carotene is absorbed into the body, it helps produce Vitamin A, which is incredibly important for a person’s eyesight. Vitamin A helps reduce inflammation, keeps eyes moist, supports the neurological processes, and protects the body against infections. Food sources containing beta-carotene are sweet potatoes, cantaloupe, apricots, squash, and pumpkin.

Although all nutrients and minerals are important for optimum health, there are a few nutrients that are critical to health. One of those nutrients is the Vitamin B complex.

Vitamin B12, or cobalamin, is unique in that it is almost exclusively found in animal sources such as meat, fish, dairy, and eggs. It is the B Vitamin I have found to be vitally important for vegetarians in particular. As Dr. Joseph Mercola notes, “microorganisms, primarily bacteria, are the only known organisms that manufacture B12. These bacteria often live in bodies of water and soil.” (2)

The less frequently you obtain Vitamin B12, the more you need to take, as Vitamin B12 is best absorbed in small amounts. A daily supplement of 10 mcg is required. But, the body’s ability to absorb Vitamin B12 from dietary supplements is limited. “For example, only about 10 mcg of a 500 mcg oral supplement is actually absorbed in healthy people.”

Symptoms of a B-complex or B12 deficiency include energy loss, blurred vision, tingling, numbness, reduced sensitivity to pain or pressure, abnormal gait, sore tongue, poor memory, confusion, hallucinations, and personality changes. Often these symptoms develop gradually over several months to a year before they are recognized as being due to a B12 deficiency, and they are usually reversible upon the administration of B12.

When I read this list of symptoms, it really caught my attention. Lack of Vitamin B could have been one of the contributing factors to my vision problems that I had battled all of my life. Eating too much sugar and cooked meats can deplete the body’s chromium and B Vitamins, according to Dr. Ben C. Lane of the Optical Society, contributing to fluid pressure in the eye, which is a factor for developing nearsightedness.

Make certain you are getting adequate amounts of all of the
B Vitamins daily.

Next on the list is Vitamin C.

It is important to be aware that most of the supplements on the store shelves are synthetic. This means that they are chemically derived from natural or unnatural sources and frequently sold as “all natural”.

Many Vitamin C supplements are synthetic. They label it as “ascorbic acid.” It may be “buffered” with minerals to decrease its acidity, but most Vitamin C supplements are lacking a whole array of nutrients.

Vitamin C is an antioxidant. Vitamin C contributes to the development and maintenance of body tissue, as well as collagen located in the corneas. Studies have shown that Vitamin C “ reduces the risk of cataracts, and when taken in combination with other essential nutrients, it can slow the progression of age-related macular degeneration and visual acuity loss.” (3)

Many fruits and vegetables are rich in Vitamin C, including oranges, grapefruit, limes, lemons, strawberries, papayas, red bell peppers, and tomatoes. Heat can break down Vitamin C, so I recommend eating at least one piece of whole real, organic fruit a day in its raw form, so you get the most Vitamin C possible. The nutrients in red peppers can also be beneficial to the blood vessels located in the eyes.

The studies show that we need about 500 milligrams of Vitamin C a day to prevent cataracts. It makes me think of Dr. Thomas Levy’s book  Curing the Incurable, 3rd Edition: Vitamin C, Infectious Diseases, and Toxin.

Vitamin D

We know Vitamin D is vitally important for our overall health, but it is is critical for protecting our eyes from diseases. It’s known to prevent AMD (age-related macular degeneration), glaucoma, dry eye syndrome and cataracts. It also enables your eyes to heal from injury. Studies have shown it to have antineoplastic properties, meaning it fights cancer.

Vitamin D helps in the prevention of diabetes. Diabetes is one of the leading causes of blindness. Low Vitamin D lowers insulin resistance. This means the extra glucose in the bloodstream doesn’t get utilized by the cells. You can overcome insulin resistance with healthy doses of Vitamin D. So, get out in the sunshine without sunscreen daily, and get some of it through your eyes.

When light penetrates the eyes, it activates the photoreceptors of the retina. This delivers impulses through the optic nerve back to the brain. That is actually how we see.

The light goes into the retinal-hypothalamic pathway, which stimulates the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus is the master gland of the body. The hypothalamus helps us balance our circadian rhythms, by connecting with the pineal and the pituitary glands.

Since this is so important, I might suggest getting sunlight in the eyes every day. You might do this before 9 am and after 5 pm. It’s important to get at least 30 minutes of light into your eyes daily, even in the winter. Some people who don’t get enough light into their eyes can actually get depressed. When we don’t get enough light into our eyes, this can have a direct impact on our mood.

Dr. Joseph Trachtman wrote a wonderful article relating light stimulation to the hypothalamus and eye health. He found that light stimulation is needed to help support retinal health, increase tear production, reduce ocular inflammation, and improve neurological health. (4)

We actually require light like we require food. Dr. John Ott, in his book “Health and Light,” says that if we are malnourished of light, especially through our eyes, it can actually have a direct negative effect on our eyesight and overall health.

Food sources for Vitamin D are: dairy milk, egg yolk, salmon, sardines, shitake mushrooms, and fortified yogurts.

A combination of sun exposure and dietary intake will give you some Vitamin D each day.

Be aware that we need to get some sunshine through our eyes in some way, daily. I stopped wearing sunglasses years ago, except when I am in a situation where there is a lot of glare and I am there for a long period of time, like snow skiing, boating, or spending time at the beach. I have found that my eyes can actually handle stronger light now than when I wore sunglasses regularly.

Vitamin E

Let’s look at healthy fats, including Vitamin E and Omega-3 Essential Fatty Acids.

Vitamin E protects cells in the eyes from free radicals, which cause oxidative stress and contribute to the breakdown of healthy tissue.

Concerning healthy fats, believe it or not, it’s important to address the source of the water you drink, bathe, and swim in. Almost all public water supplies have chemicals added, including sodium fluoride and chlorine, both of which are poisons. The chemical chlorine has been found to destroy Vitamin E and Omega-3 Essential Fatty Acids (the  healthy fats) in the body, as well as the good probiotics in the intestines.

“Industrial chemist J.P. Bercz, PhD, showed in 1992 that chlorinated water alters and destroys unsaturated essential fatty acids (EFA’s), the building blocks of people’s brains and central nervous systems.”(5)

Omega-3 provides numerous health benefits, including reducing inflammation in the body. Also, in studies conducted with infants, they found that getting the necessary amount of Omega-3 for babies was essential in optimal vision development. Omega-3 is also thought to aid in preventing dryness in the eyes.

Fish are among the foods rich in Omega-3, including tuna, salmon, herring, mackerel, trout, and sardines, but the oceans today are so high in mercury, that I don’t really recommend eating fish. So, my suggestion would be to get your Omega-3 Essential Fatty Acids from cold-pressed flaxseed and hempseed supplements found in the refrigerated section of the grocery store.

Hempseeds are a great source of Vitamin E and Omega-3 Fatty Acids. Avoid buying hemp or flax seeds already ground, because they begin to lose their nutrition when they are exposed to oxygen. If you want to add these foods to your diet, I would grind them yourself, right before you use them in your recipe.

Good food sources of Vitamin E include: leafy greens (Swiss Chard, beet greens, baby kale, and baby spinach), seeds (sunflower, hemp, flax seeds), nuts (almonds, peanuts), butternut squash, and avocados.

Organic seeds and nuts (like almonds) are also rich in fiber and proteins, along with several minerals.

A note about almonds:

Almonds are high in Vitamin E. The unfortunate thing is that the United States has passed a law to pasteurize all of the almonds. The pasteurization process and radiation both destroy the Vitamin E and other nutrients in the almonds. You can purchase raw, unpasteurized almonds from Tierra Farm, or Nuts.com, or Blue Mountain Organics.

Lutein-rich foods can also help reduce the risk of age-related eye diseases.

Lutein and zeaxanthin are powerful carotenoids (which are the antioxidant compounds) that are the color pigment found in plants. These powerful antioxidants are in generous abundance in the macula, which is the section of the retina responsible for detailed and centered vision.

The macula makes it possible for individuals to see fine details. Lutein and zeaxanthin are linked to a lower chance of macular degeneration and cataracts. You can find lutein and zeaxanthin in baby kale, baby spinach, orange bell peppers, and egg yolks.

Another important nutrient is zinc. Zinc helps to support a healthy immune system and support brain health. A zinc deficiency can make one more susceptible to infection, and has also been found to be a contributing factor in people who are getting the symptoms associated with c.v. id.

Zinc aids Vitamin A in creating melanin, a pigment that protects the eyes. If one is deficient in zinc, you might experience night blindness or macular degeneration.

Zinc-rich foods that improve and support healthy eyesight are pumpkin seeds, egg yolks, whole wheat, lean beef, fortified cereals, lean pork, and lamb.

Surprisingly, eggs can be an important factor in promoting good vision. The nutrients found in eggs increase the amount of the eye’s protective pigment. The egg yolk nutrients can aid in blocking harmful light from entering the retina of the eye.

Whole eggs can provide most essential nutrients. The egg white contains more than half the egg’s protein, and is also a beneficial source of Vitamin D, B12, B6, selenium, copper, and sulfur.

Anthocyanins (the dark blue/black color pigment found in plants) are particularly ideal for reducing the retina inflammation associated with some eye diseases, and are studied extensively for improved eyesight, particularly at night. Numerous studies conducted in Europe and Israel confirm that eating blueberries regularly may help improve night vision.

The 1998 issue of The Blueberry Bulletin, released by the Rutgers Cooperative Extension in New Jersey, looked at a study of Israeli fighter pilots. It showed that soldiers might gain tactical benefits by regularly consuming blueberries, because compounds in blueberries appear to enhance capillary elasticity and eye permeability, resulting in improved vision in the dark.

In WWII, the Royal Air Force (RAF) bomber pilots apparently didn’t want to fly at night unless they had consumed bilberries in their food or drink. They said they could see better at night on their missions. Because of this, bilberries have been widely studied throughout Europe ever since.

The European studies on bilberries (similar to the blueberry) shows that consuming bilberries helps improve overall eye health, inhibits the formation of cataracts, and protects against glaucoma, as well as improves eye function at night.

People in Japan buy small vials of blueberry juice for the benefits of reduced eyestrain and improved weak eyesight, because of the results of a study on “Nutrients For The Prevention Of Macular Degeneration and Eye-related Disorders.” (6)

Not only do blueberries help protect the brain against age-related decline, but they also help protect the central nervous system, increasing cell membrane fluidity, while reducing levels of inflammatory compounds. No matter how they are consumed, adding blueberries or berries with the rich anthocyanins (the dark blue/black color pigment) to your regular diet can contribute to overall health. These antioxidants can be found naturally in many fruits and vegetables, including blueberries, black currants, purple potatoes, purple grapes, raspberries, cherries, red cabbage, eggplant skins, red and purple olives, and bilberries.

If we consume enough vitamins from our food, we may not have to supplement as much.

In addition to our diet, and our lifestyle of getting more sunlight and cutting out EMF’s when possible, emotions can also directly affect our health and our eyesight.

With the fear-mongering propaganda being pushed at us from every direction in the past five years, and which is bombarding us from the media, as well in articles and social media posts, it is no wonder that people are having some vision problems, because they want to avoid these messages. I for one have been focusing on finding out the truth as best as I can, but also focusing on faith. Faith and our own inner connection with our Divine Creator can provide us with insight, healing, and protection that can be a very powerful part of maintaining health and staying well.

The fear-based life is letting go of faith. Fear blocks the Divine from us, and can actually put our body in a fight or flight mode that reduces the immune systems’ strength. If we look at what is going on in the world around us locally and globally, we may be unintentionally holding onto negative emotions.

In a book by Debbie Shapiro, “The Body Mind Workbook, Explaining How The Mind and Body Work Together,” she says that our eyes are the “Windows To The Soul” and also the “Windows To The World.” “The eyes are a deep expression of our inner being. They don’t just see outwards, but also reflect every emotion and feeling being experienced inwardly as well. They can focus on immediate reality, but also reflect our inward feelings at that time.” Because the eyes can reflect what is going on in the body, the medical professionals developed a natural method to read the eyes called Iridology. A trained iridologist can decipher what is taking place in the body and different organs from the lines and markings in the eyes.

Vison problems are invariably connected to our interpretation of the world around us.

Some studies would suggest that near sighted people can see what is directly in front of them, but are not quite able to see the larger picture. This can be a result of fear, trauma, or fear of the future.

Far sighted people may like seeing the grander picture, with the great visions ahead, but have a more difficult time addressing up-front reality. They may be fearful of what the current time may present.

Blurred vision is us not meshing with the reality confronting us.

A medical eye doctor probably won’t ask you what type of emotional situation you may be experiencing in order to see what inner conflict might be manifesting itself as a basic problem in your vision challenge.

In lieu of taking time to ask some deeply insightful life questions, your busy eye doctor will most likely prescribe you a pair of glasses.

Dr. William Bates (a New York Optometrist) studied eyesight in an in-depth holistic way and wrote the fantastic book: “Perfect Sight Without Glasses.” in the 1920’s. He studied eyesight and vision loss with emotional connections, and looked at vision problems as a concept of stress-related disorders.

Dr. Bates believed that the underlying cause of most vision problems was various forms of strain, and that approximately 90% of vision problems could be a result of mental strain, and only about 10% from physical strain.

Physical strain would be like squinting and staring. Mental strain would reflect psychological stress, worry, fear, or anxiety. He thought mental strain could cause the physical strain to manifest itself in vision challenges.

In the book, “Perfect Sight Without Glasses” by William Bates MD, he addresses whether the only method of repairing vision problems is with glasses, or could something else help restore someone’s vision naturally. The Bates Method introduced a method for people who wanted better vision without having to wear eyeglasses. His method is still being utilized today. One of the methods that Dr. Bates encourages is to do eye exercises to help restore your vision naturally.

In conclusion, as we embark on the coming year, and take better care of our health through diet and lifestyle, we can improve many of our health situations, including our vision, by eating nutrient-rich foods, getting lots of sunshine, managing our stress levels, and keeping our faith strong.

I look forward to seeing you healthier and more rejuvenated in this New Year!

Autumn’s arrival heralds a time of abundance, overflowing with seasonal delights. The humble, but extraordinary apple is something that is still in season, and something that we should learn to appreciate more and more as time goes on.

The apple, packed with vital nutrients and fiber, offers a myriad of health benefits and culinary possibilities.

Apples are much more than just a delicious snack. They are a powerhouse of essential nutrients, including a unique fiber called pectin, which bestows numerous health advantages. This is why we have always heard the phrase “An Apple A Day, Keeps The Doctor Away.”

My friend, Dr. Bryan Ardis, did a whole video on the health benefits of apple pectin. His video shows the many ways that apples can contribute to a healthy body. (Because of the extraordinary benefits of apple pectin, he even carries it in his online store.)

The apple is a detox dynamo, because of the pectin it contains. The pectin acts as a natural detoxifier, binding to heavy metals and toxins in the gut and aiding in their elimination from the body.

Apples are also a type of gut guardian. Because of the pectin in apples, this type of fiber is a prebiotic, which is what beneficial gut bacteria ingest.  The pectin not only promotes a healthy digestive system, but also bolsters overall immunity. Some studies suggest that the pectin may even help protect against cancer by combating harmful cells and supporting gut health.

Apples are excellent at balancing the blood sugar naturally. The pectin fiber slows sugar release, maintaining steady blood sugar levels and supporting balanced energy throughout the day.

Apples are packed with minerals. Apple’s pectin enhances the absorption of crucial minerals like calcium, magnesium, and zinc, ensuring optimal nutrient uptake.

Apples are rich in powerful antioxidants like quercetin, catechin, and epicatechin, which help combat free radicals and protect cells from damage.

Apples provide boron, which is vital for strong bones, and Vitamin C, which aids in collagen production, thereby contributing to overall skeletal health.

In addition to all of these marvelous attributes, the simple act of biting into an apple stimulates saliva production, helping prevent tooth decay and promoting oral health.

For variety, here are a few other fruits that have pectin power as well.

  • Citrus Fruits: Oranges, lemons, limes, and grapefruits excel at binding and removing heavy metals like lead and mercury, while also providing a wealth of Vitamin C and antioxidants.

  • Berries: Apples’ cousins, including strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries contain pectin and are rich in antioxidants, offering a symphony of health benefits.

  • Guava: Guavas are one of the richest sources of pectin, with about 4 grams per fruit, and are also high in Vitamin C and fiber.

  • Quince:
     Quince, and also pears, are another great source of pectin. Quince is a fall fruit that looks similar to apples and pears, but tastes quite different. Whole quince fruit is not available everywhere, but you may be able to find quince paste, which is commonly sold in healthy grocery stores, because it is often used in making jams and jellies due to its excellent setting properties.

Apples and other organic, tree or vine-ripened fruits and vegetables contain fisetin, which is a potent antioxidant that helps our bodies fight off harmful invaders and maintain overall health.

To reap the most benefits from fisetin:

  1. Eat a variety of vine-ripened and tree-ripened organic fruits daily.

  2. Consume them in their whole form to maximize the phytochemicals, and enhance fisetin absorption.

  3. Add healthy fats like avocados or nuts, or a pinch of black pepper to your meals to further boost fisetin absorption.

Along with that, some of my best memories when my children were growing up, was picking ripe fruits off the trees at my family farm. Sometimes my mother would join us.   

Once we returned home with our freshly picked fruits from the farm, It was time to create some delicious recipes using the fruits while they were at their freshest. 

 Use your fresh produce to create wholesome dishes, meals, canned goods, and treats. I have always loved involving my children, family, and friends with my cooking endeavors. In that way, they learn to have a deeper appreciation for real food and the joy of healthy eating. (You may find people are much more likely to try a new dish if they have something to do with the creation of that dish.)

My family was recently at a chateau in France for my daughter’s wedding. The chateau had apple trees around the grounds with ripe heirloom varieties of apples on them. Everyone had fun simply picking an apple right from the tree and eating them.  Maybe there is an apple orchard near you that you could go visit and pick some apples, while getting fresh air, sunshine, and exercise. That could be a really fun activity in so many ways.

So, in conclusion, as you savor the crisp, juicy goodness of an apple, remember that you are partaking in nature’s gift to your health. Embrace the season, connect with loved ones, and indulge in the simple pleasures of life, and at the same time, nurture your body with the wholesome goodness of apples.

The post How To Sweeten Foods Using Healthier Sugars appeared first on Organic Healthy Life - Nancy Addison - Nutrition.

]]> Sugar consumption is out of control. According to the US government, the average American consumes half a cup of caloric sweeteners per day, or 152 pounds per year. (1)

Sugar has a reputation as the “white poison” because of the harmful effects it has on health. Although fat has been made out to be the cause of many diseases or problems, sugar is one of the most harmful ingredients in our diet.

Sugar is present in almost all processed foods, fast foods, and dairy products, but it can be hiding in many products you would not normally expect. I even see it added to dried fruits, trail mixes, and granolas in healthy grocery stores. When food companies started making low-fat products, many added additional sugar to help the food taste more appealing. Studies conducted by the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that diabetes and obesity are directly linked to eating refined sugar and high-fructose corn syrup—the cheapest form of sugar and the choice of many food manufacturing companies. (2)

Along with diabetes and obesity, sugar intake can contribute to hypoglycemia, cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, high blood pressure, tooth decay, systemic infections, memory disorders, allergies, upset hormonal imbalances, and autoimmune and immune deficiency disorders. It supports the growth of cancer cells. The list of health problems goes on to include acne, adrenal gland exhaustion, anxiety, bloating, bone loss, eczema, cataracts, candidiasis, insomnia, ulcers, psoriasis, over-acidity, gout, gallstones, fatigue, menstrual difficulties, indigestion, high triglyceride levels, and more. These are all good reasons to limit the amount of sugar in one’s diet.

Digestion breaks down the food we eat into components the body can absorb, including glucose which powers every cell in the body. After glucose enters the bloodstream, the pancreas secretes insulin, which enables glucose to enter cells and be used for fuel. When glucose gets into the blood stream too quickly, the blood sugar level spikes, putting pressure on the pancreas to make more of the hormone insulin to regulate the blood sugar level. Insulin is vital to maintaining healthy glucose levels in blood.

White refined sugar, high-fructose corn syrup, and fructose are very hard on the body and the digestive system. These sugars are read by the body as empty sugar. When the body consumes nutrient-empty sugar, it has to pull stored nutrients out of the body to process it. This depletes the body of stored nutrients and can result in extreme cravings for nutrients. That is why feeding the body empty calories of refined carbohydrates, such as white sugar, can result in hunger pangs.

Many people today who have extreme obesity or weight problems are actually starving to death. Their bodies are not getting the nutrients they need. They may feel like they are very hungry and, as a result, eat more of the same nutrient-empty food. This will overwork the pancreas and can result in the body having an increasingly difficult time creating insulin to restore normal, healthy glucose levels. The constant roller coaster of blood sugar spiking can wear out the pancreas, which may then create less insulin or none at all.

Also, an excess of glucose in the system can be stored in the liver as glycogen. When the liver can’t hold any more, it will return it to the blood stream as fatty acids. This can create insulin resistance, which can lead to diabetes. A diet of too much empty sugar on a continual basis can result in disease and obesity.

Sugar can affect our mental health, too.

A study conducted by British psychiatric researcher Malcolm Peet showed that a diet high in sugar is strongly linked to depression and schizophrenia because it suppresses a key growth hormone in the brain called BDNF. (BDNF stands for Brain-derived neurotrophic factor. It is a protein that supports the survival, growth, and differentiation of neurons in the brain and spinal cord. This hormone plays a vital role in the memory function.)

Sugar is like an addictive drug. It can give the body an artificial energy surge, and the body can begin to crave that energy. Dr. Francis Stern states, “A characteristic of sugar ‘binges’ is that the taste for sweets, for some reason, leads to a craving for more of the same, just the way other drugs create cravings.” (4)

The FDA Consumer magazine reported in February 1988, “Drugs upset the body’s homeostasis (balance) mechanism so completely that, in a struggle to get back to normal, the addict can only take another dose of the same drug. Heroin, cigarettes, coffee, sugar—it’s the same kind of addiction.” (5)  Stimulants like caffeine or alcohol can cause sugar cravings.

Today, large amounts of sugar are added to almost all packaged foods, including canned foods, jams, jellies, dry cereals, baked goods, breading, and dairy products. It is a hidden ingredient in many foods. In addition to the obvious reason— that it makes the food taste sweeter—sugar is also added to processed foods because it helps reduce shrinkage, keeps their texture smoother, and helps keep them from drying out.

Here are just a few examples of foods in which you will find added sugar: seafood breading, canned salmon, hamburgers in restaurants, processed lunch meats, bouillon cubes, dry-roasted nuts, peanut butter, canned tomatoes, and canned vegetables. Although they aren’t a dessert, even Nabisco Ritz Crackers contain six percent sucrose because “sugar is unmatched when it comes to making products tender and appetizing,” according to the International Sugar Research Foundation (ISRF). (6)   Read ingredient lists or simply make your own food. Then you will know exactly what is in it.

It is very important to eat whole, unrefined foods that contain little or no white, refined, processed sugar, high-fructose corn syrup, fructose, agave nectar, dextrose, glucose, fructose, maltose, barley malt, or sorbitol.
Sugars are not all created equally, and some are far worse than others.

I recommend avoiding fake sugars and sugar substitutes altogether. Chemically-derived sweeteners can have many harmful effects on health. Artificial sweeteners are never a healthy sugar alternative. All artificial chemical sweeteners are toxic and can indirectly lead to weight gain. They are addictive and amplify the craving for sugar, which is the opposite reason why many people consume them. In fact, given a choice between high-fructose corn syrup and artificial sweeteners, high-fructose corn syrup is recommended by far—though it’s essentially asking if you should consume poison or worse poison. (7)

Try to stay with real, whole, unrefined, and unprocessed sugars as much as possible. Read ingredient labels carefully, and check for any sugar or sugar substitute. Be knowledgeable about what you are eating.

Here are a few types of sweeteners that are alternatives to white refined sugar. Some are good, and some aren’t so good. Become sugar savvy!

Agave syrup is frequently used in many vegan foods because, unlike honey, it is not taken from an animal. Agave actually has more calories than table sugar (20 calories per teaspoon compared to 16 calories per teaspoon). Agave is 90 percent fructose, which is actually more fructose than high-fructose corn syrup contains. In fact, agave syrup is made very much like high-fructose corn syrup.

Agave is marketed as “diabetic friendly,” because it doesn’t have as much glucose in it as other sweeteners. However, some studies suggest that large amounts of fructose can promote insulin resistance, and thus increase diabetes risk, boost triglycerides (fats in the blood), lower HDL (“good”) cholesterol, and have other harmful effects on the heart, and possibly the liver, too. “The American Diabetes Association lists agave as a sweetener to limit, along with regular table sugar, brown sugar, honey, maple syrup, and all other sugars.” (8)

You may think, “But fructose is in fruit.” However whole fruit contains added nutrients, fiber, and natural electrolytes, and affects the body in a different way than refined agave syrup does. A recent study showed agave has “minimal antioxidant activity.” It is “just another form of processed (and concentrated) sugar,” according to Berkeley Wellness Alerts. (9)

Aspartame is the chemical in the artificial sweeteners NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, and Equal-Measure, and it is found in more than 6000 products. It is composed of three chemicals: aspartic acid, phenylalanine, and methanol. It gets converted to formaldehyde in the body. According to the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), formaldehyde is a carcinogen that can seriously harm your “liver, kidney, spleen, pancreas, brain, and central nervous systems. Formaldehyde can also cause allergic sensitization.

The occupational health hazards of formaldehyde are primarily due to its toxic effects after inhalation, after direct contact with the skin or eyes in liquid or vapor form, and after ingestion.” (10)

Aspartame can cause many problems, including neurological ones. According to one study: When the temperature of aspartame exceeds 86°F, the wood alcohol in aspartame converts to formaldehyde and then to formic acid, which in turn causes metabolic acidosis. The methanol toxicity mimics multiple sclerosis; thus, people may be misdiagnosed with having multiple sclerosis. Multiple sclerosis does not lead to death, whereas methanol toxicity does. (11)

According to a report from the National Institutes of Health: Methanol is extremely poisonous. As little as two tablespoons can be deadly to a child. About 2–8 ounces can be deadly for an adult. Blindness is common and often permanent, despite medical care. How well the person recovers depends on how much poison is swallowed and how soon treatment is received. (12)

Mark Gold of the Aspartame Toxicity Information Center writes: Both the US Air Force’s magazine Flying Safety and the US Navy’s magazine Navy Physiology published articles warning about the many dangers of aspartame. They included the cumulative, deleterious effects of methanol, and the greater likelihood of birth defects. The articles note that the ingestion of aspartame may make pilots more susceptible to seizures and vertigo (US Air Force 1992). Countless other toxicity effects have been reported to the FDA (DHHS 1995), other independent organizations (Mission Possible 1996, Stoddard 1995), and independent scientists (e.g., 80 cases of seizures were reported to Dr. Richard Wurtman, Food in 1986).

Frequently, aspartame toxicity is misdiagnosed as a specific disease. This hasn’t been reported in scientific literature, yet it has been reported countless times to independent organizations and scientists. In other cases, it has been reported that chronic aspartame ingestion has triggered or worsened certain chronic illnesses. Nearly 100 percent of the time, the patient and physician assume these worsening conditions are a normal progression of the illness. Sometimes that may be true, but many times it is chronic aspartame poisoning. (13)

The following is a list of chronic illnesses that may be caused or worsened by the long-term ingestion of aspartame, according to researchers studying its adverse effects. In some cases, such as MS, the symptoms mimic or worsen the disease, but do not cause it.

This list shouldn’t be considered definitive, because regular intake of a poison is bad for any chronic illness.

Brain Tumors

Multiple Sclerosis
Epilepsy
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Parkinson’s Disease
Alzheimer’s

Mental Retardation
Lymphoma
Birth Defects
Fibromyalgia
Diabetes

Arthritis (including rheumatoid)
Chemical Sensitivities
Attention Deficit Disorder (14)

Some examples of healthier alternatives to sugar, agave, and artificial sugars are listed below.

Blackstrap molasses is the residue of beet juice or sugar cane after the sugar crystals have been removed. Blackstrap molasses contains minerals, including iron, calcium, and magnesium, even though it is still about 65 percent sucrose. Buy organic varieties.

Coconut sugar is made from boiling down the nectar of tropical coconut palm sugar blossoms. This sugar has a naturally low glycemic index. It has been used in East Asia for herbal medicine and food preparation. The glycemic index is approximately 35. It is high in potassium, magnesium, zinc, iron, and B vitamins. Buy organic, unprocessed, unbleached, and unfiltered coconut sugar with no preservatives added.

Date sugar is derived from dried dates. This type of sugar has some fiber and is rich in minerals, since it is essentially dried fruit. It is a nice alternative to other sugars.

Honey is a natural sweetener that is antifungal and antibacterial. Honey can be used as a natural antiseptic. It is a natural remedy for many ailments, and it can boost energy. Weekly World News listed arthritis, hair loss, bladder infections, upset stomach, indigestion, influenza, heart disease, colds, and cholesterol as some of the afflictions that could be cured by honey and cinnamon. (15) Honey contains a variety of nutrients and minerals, as well as some enzymes. It is known to help the facilitation of muscle recuperation and glycogen restoration after a workout.

PLEASE NOTE

According to Ann Louise Gittleman, PhD, CNS:

Never give an infant under eighteen months of age honey or products made with honey. This sweetener sometimes contains trace amounts of botulinum spores, which are easily denatured by the mature digestive tract of an adult, but can be harmful or even fatal to an infant, whose digestive tract is just developing. (16)

If you are concerned about the welfare of bees, then find a responsible beekeeper who doesn’t take all of the bees’ winter honey stores, but leaves them with enough to support their hive. Such responsible beekeepers are around. We want to be conscious consumers when it comes to supporting our web of life.

Honey can be substituted for sugar in recipes. Always buy raw, unrefined honey because it will have all of the live enzymes and nutritional properties still intact.

Maple syrup is a natural sugar derived from maple tree sap. It contains minerals including potassium and calcium. It can also make you feel very satisfied without more sugar cravings.

Sucanat is dehydrated sugar cane juice. It has some nutrients. Sucanat is an easy alternative to white refined sugar and is a small step in the direction of a healthier alternative to it.

Stevia is a sweetener derived from Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni, a South American plant that is a member of the aster family. Japanese food manufacturers developed this sweetener in the 1970s as a zero-calorie sugar. The Japanese have done extensive research on stevia and found it extremely safe.

Even though it has been found safe and approved by the FDA, there has been controversy about the safety of this

sweetener. (17)  For one thing, it could possibly cause hypoglycemia for some people, depending on the amount and frequency ingested. The body is very sensitive to blood sugar regulation. When stevia is ingested, the body thinks it is receiving sugar. So, it prepares itself by clearing glucose from the bloodstream. Because of this, the blood sugar drops. When no sugar appears, the adrenaline and cortisol can surge to mobilize sugar from other sources, like the liver and body tissue. This brings blood glucose back up. This causes stress to the body.

The stevia plant has been commonly used in Paraguay to treat diabetes, and by indigenous populations for the control of fertility. You might want to keep this in mind if you are trying to get pregnant. Some researchers have expressed concern that stevia might have an antifertility effect in men or women. However, evidence from most (though not all) animal studies suggests that this is not a concern at normal doses.

That being said, steviol glycosides are the natural chemicals that give stevia a sweet taste. Steviol glycosides are structurally similar to the plant hormones gibberellin and kaurene, which means that stevia has a hormone structure. Anyone with a problem with hormone balance or a dysfunctional immune system should be aware of the possible effect of stevia on hormones.

Stevia comes in powder and liquid form. I have been using this sweetener for years. I like the liquid form best because I think it has a better flavor, while the powder form can be a bit bitter.

Make sure to read the ingredient label. Companies use different ingredients to preserve stevia or prepare it to be packaged. One company, for example, uses grapefruit seed extract, which can interact very badly with some medications. Be aware of this and read all of the ingredients carefully before using.

The WebMD website includes this information for drug interactions:

Medications for diabetes (antidiabetic drugs) interact with stevia. Stevia might decrease blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes. Diabetes medications are also used to lower blood sugar. Taking stevia along with diabetes medications might cause your blood sugar to go too low. Monitor your blood sugar closely. The dose of your diabetes medication might need to be changed.

Some medications used for diabetes include glimepiride (Amaryl), glyburide (DiaBeta, Glynase PresTab, Micronase), insulin, pioglitazone (Actos), rosiglitazone (Avandia), chlorpropamide (Diabinese), glipizide (Glucotrol), tolbutamide (Orinase), and others.

Medications for high blood pressure (Antihypertensive drugs) interact with stevia. Stevia might decrease blood pressure in some people. Taking stevia along with medications used for lowering high blood pressure might cause your blood pressure to go too low. However, it’s not known if this is a big concern. Do not take too much stevia if you are taking medications for high blood pressure.

Some medications for high blood pressure include captopril (Capoten), enalapril (Vasotec), losartan (Cozaar), valsartan (Diovan), diltiazem (Cardizem), amlodipine (Norvasc), hydrochlorothiazide (HydroDIURIL), furosemide (Lasix), and many others. (18)

From what I gather, this plant can help people who are trying to lower their blood pressure or blood sugar levels naturally.  If you have concerns, talk to your physician.

Xylitol: One sugar I’ve used over the years is xylitol, especially if a recipe calls for granulated sugar. Xylitol is a sugar alcohol naturally found in fruits and vegetables. It’s usually made from birch tree bark and other hardwood trees. Some sources say xylitol was discovered by German scientist Emil Fisher in 1891.

When Finland had severe sugar shortages during World War II, people started making it commercially. After the war, Finnish dentists noticed that young school-aged children had unusually strong, cavity- free teeth. This discovery led the Finnish government to be the first to officially endorse the use of xylitol as a sweetener.

By the 1960s, Germany, Switzerland, Japan, and the Soviet Union were using xylitol as their preferred sweetener for diabetics. It was also used as an energy source for infusion therapy with patients who had impaired glucose intolerance and insulin resistance.

Xylitol is considered a five-carbon sugar, which means it has antimicrobial effects, preventing the growth of bacteria. It is also alkaline-enhancing and can replace sugar in recipes in equal substitution. Xylitol tastes and looks just like sugar with no bitter aftertaste.

Drug interactions have not been found. The only side effect is that when consumed in large doses over 30 or 40 grams at one time, it can cause gas and diarrhea. Some types of xylitol have a little bigger granule size than refined sugar. When purchasing xylitol, the smaller, finer grain variety will bake easier.

Xylitol and stevia are both sweeteners that can be used in diabetic diets. In addition to helping prevent cavities, xylitol can help repair dental enamel, regulate blood sugar for those with type 2 diabetes, strengthen bones, decrease age-related bone loss, inhibit serious systemic yeast problems, inhibit the growth of bacteria that cause middle ear infections in young children, inhibit the growth of streptococcus pneumonia, and alleviate dry mouth. It even inhibits inner ear and other infections. Mothers love that!

In addition, xylitol has 40 percent fewer calories and 75 percent fewer carbohydrates than sugar. It’s slowly absorbed and metabolized, which results in negligible changes in insulin. Its consumption can reduce sugar cravings and insulin levels, and help alkalize your body. It was approved by the FDA in 1963. (19)

One important thing to know: Xylitol is not for pets.

Animals’ systems are different from ours. Like chocolate, egg whites, onions, scallions, shallots, garlic, avocado, raisins, cacao, walnuts, macadamia nuts, and red grapes, xylitol is very toxic to dogs. Please keep xylitol, and anything you use it in, away from your pet.

Purchase xylitol from US sources that use non-GMO ingredients. Here is a list of recommended brands:

  1. Smart Sweet Xylitol.
    Source: Organic birch and occasionally beech trees (non-GMO).

Country of origin: US and occasionally Austria in cases of limited supply.

The post Diet Is A Powerful Treatment For Diabetics By Nutritionist Nancy Addison appeared first on Organic Healthy Life - Nancy Addison - Nutrition.

]]> More than 100 million people today have diabetes or pre- diabetes. A recent study conducted by a team of American and Japanese researchers shows that people who have diabetes can vastly improve their health by eating an entirely plant-based diet.1

During my work with people who have diabetes, I have found they show remarkable improvement in their health and well-being from consuming a plant-based and almost completely raw-food diet.

Diabetics who would like to reduce their medications can now understand that the type of food they eat has a direct impact on their health. In 2014, Cardiovascular Diagnosis and Therapy published a study in which researchers performed a meta-analysis of six significant prior research studies. Researchers found that a plant-based diet significantly improved blood sugar control in Type 2 diabetes.

The results were that plant-based diets improved a key indicator of blood sugar control, an indicator called Hemoglobin A1c. The results improved as much as 1.2 points, which is much greater than the effect of typical oral diabetes medicines.2 The benefits of excluding meat, cheese, and eggs from the diet was as much as 0.7 points in some of the studies, and averaged 0.4 points overall.3

Dr. James Anderson studied 25 Type 1 and 25 Type 2 diabetics. This study involved placing the patients on a high-fiber, high-carbohydrate, low-fat diet in a hospital setting. Dr. Anderson initially put the patients on the American Diabetes Association recommended diet plan for one week. Then he switched them over to a vegetarian, plant-based diet for three weeks.

None of these patients were overweight when they started the study, but they were on insulin shots to control their blood sugar levels. All through the study, Dr. Anderson measured their blood sugar levels, their cholesterol levels, their medications, and their weight. Type 1 diabetics cannot produce insulin, and it was thought that dietary changes would not affect this situation.

But, the results showed that after three weeks on a vegetarian, whole-food, high-fiber diet, the “Type 1 diabetics were able to lower their insulin medication by an average of 40%”, “their blood sugar profiles improved dramatically”, and their “cholesterol levels dropped by 30%”.4

These results were more impressive with the Type 2 diabetics who had not incurred as much damage to their pancreas. After three weeks on the high-fiber, vegetarian diet, 24 of the 25 Type 2 diabetics could discontinue their insulin medication completely.

The one Type 2 diabetic who wasn’t able to get off his medication had been a 25-year diabetic taking 35 units per day. After three weeks of vegetarian food, his requirement dropped down to only eight units per day. As he continued the vegetarian eating plan at home, he was able to cut out all insulin shots after another eight weeks.5

Studies have shown that eating more plant-based whole food increases your dietary fiber intake. This can be extremely important to “protect you from the development of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, certain types of cancer, some gastrointestinal disorders, hypertension, obesity, and non-insulin-dependent diseases. Furthermore, increasing fiber intake provides therapeutic advantages for management of high blood lipids, certain gastrointestinal disorders, hypertension, obesity, and diabetes”.6

Besides adopting a plant-based diet, diabetics can take six important dietary actions to regulate their blood sugar and support their health:

1. Chromium

2. Cinnamon

3. Omega-3 fatty acids
4. Vitamin D

5. Zinc

6. Unrefined, mineral-rich Salt

 

Chromium

The mineral chromium helps transport glucose from the blood to the muscles. According to the National Institutes of Health, “Chromium is known to enhance the action of insulin, a hormone critical to the metabolism and storage of carbohydrates, fat, and protein in the body.”7 People who eat non-organic foods have a greater likelihood of being deficient in this important trace mineral. The chemical fertilizers used in industrial farming destroy chromium that would naturally be in the soil. This is one of many reasons organic food is always the best choice at the grocery store.

Chromium supplements should have GTF (Glucose Tolerance Factor) on the label. It should say, “Chromium GTF”. Avoid synthetic supplements that don’t list whole, organic foods as the ingredients. (I purchase the brand “Innate” from “7 Lights.”)

Cinnamon

Cinnamon is emerging as a true wonder food. Cinnamon is a spice, and it’s obtained from the inner bark of a few tree species. Research shows that cinnamon can help lower blood sugar, cholesterol, and triglyceride levels in people with Type 2 diabetes. Cinnamon contains antioxidants that create healthier arteries and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Cinnamon can also benefit us with increased alertness and energized senses. Even a teaspoon a day helps tame blood sugar levels.

Ceylon cinnamon is the best cinnamon to use. Cassia, Saigon, and Chinese cinnamon contain five percent coumarin, which is problematic for the liver. Ceylon cinnamon has only .0004 percent coumarin. Take it in capsule form or sprinkle it on your morning toast, oatmeal, or other dishes.

Omega -3 Fatty Acids

Omega-3 fatty acids are healthy fats our bodies cannot make and must obtain from food. Studies show that adding omega-3 to your diet promotes healthy blood sugar levels. Try adding cold-pressed, organic flax or hemp seed oil to your smoothies and other foods, like oatmeal chia seed pudding in the morning.

Vitamin D

Vitamin D (known as the sunshine vitamin) is a prohormone; that is, a fat-soluble vitamin. It is in a family of compounds that includes vitamins D-1, D-2, and D-3. These vitamins can affect as many as 2,000 genes in the body.

Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine studied the medical information of 124 subjects between the ages of 36 and 89 with Type 2 diabetes. Those with the lowest levels of Vitamin D had the highest levels of blood sugar. Only six percent of the subjects were taking a Vitamin D supplement. You may need to address a possible Vitamin D deficiency.  I supplement my Vitamin D intake with a whole-food multivitamin, like Epresat Adult Liquid & Herbal Supplement, sold by The Health Ranger, sold by the Health Ranger.

Zinc

Zinc is one of the most important minerals used by the body. It helps with the production of approximately 100 enzymes. Zinc contributes to building up the immune system. Zinc is required for protein and DNA synthesis, insulin activity, and liver function.

Zinc is not really stored in our bodies, so we need a regular supply. Men need about one-third more zinc than women, because the prostate gland and semen are highly concentrated with zinc. A zinc deficiency may appear as skin problems, impairment of taste, a poor immune system, hair loss, diarrhea, fatigue, wounds not healing properly, or a poor or slow growth rate for infants.

Even if you eat zinc-rich foods, you may need a supplement, because phytic acid and dietary fiber in certain foods can inhibit the absorption of zinc. If you take a vitamin supplement of any kind (such as a multi-vitamin, Vitamin D, chromium, or zinc), make sure it is in a natural form, not a synthetic one. Synthetic forms of any nutrient can be harmful to the body. 8
Instead, buy dietary supplements that show whole, organic foods in their ingredient list.

Unrefined Mineral-rich Salt

Unrefined mineral-rich salt promotes the proper balance for the endocrine, adrenal, and thyroid glands to function properly. It supports healthy blood pressure, detoxifies the body, and—along with water—is necessary for the optimal functioning of the immune system, hormonal system, and cardiovascular health.9

Dr. David Brownstein says low-salt diets “promote toxicity” and have:

…adverse effects on numerous metabolic markers, including promoting elevated insulin levels and insulin resistance. Low-salt diets have been associated with elevating normal cholesterol and LDL cholesterol levels, which in turn, have been associated with cardiovascular disease. Finally, low-salt diets will lead to mineral deficiencies and the development of chronic disease.10

In conclusion, you can see that the diet is a huge factor in curing or managing diabetes, and preventing so many diseases that diabetes often leads to: blindness, amputation, stroke, and heart disease. It can also prevent having to take insulin injections for the rest of your life.

It’s a personal decision that no one can make for you. I always feel it is so powerful when someone finally decides to take control of their health and well-being, and chooses to make the necessary changes. It all starts with making that decision and taking action to execute it.

By becoming aware, and consuming more organic, plant-based foods, vitamins, and supplements, you can help prevent diseases, balance your body, and live a longer and healthier life.

]]> Summer is a wonderful time of the year, and we want to enjoy it to the fullest. In order to do this, we should be careful to avoid poison ivy, poison oak, bug bites, jellyfish stings, or getting sunburned.

Here are a few natural remedies that may help you have a smooth sailing summer of fun!

While summer is the optimal time for showing off toned skin, shorts, and swim suit attire, it’s the absolute worst time for bug bites, sunburns, and itchy rashes.

Whether it is a mosquito or beach flea, some of these bites can be downright painful. They can also itch so much, that you almost want to scratch your skin off, which can create scars and wounds.

Stop skin blunders from ruining the way you feel or look with any of the following natural skin relief supplements and treatments.

Take Vitamin B Complex daily. My friend Jane and I got bitten by some type of tiny bugs in Florida. We found out from the locals, that if you take a daily dose of Vitamin B Complex, that they won’t bite you. We tried it and it works! So, make certain to always take your Vitamin B Complex daily to help avoid bug-bites. I don’t know if this works for all bugs, but it certainly won’t hurt taking it, and if it helps, then that is wonderful! 

Mosquitoes don’t normally bite through loose-fitting clothing, so this is another good preventative measure. Mosquitoes are attracted to dark colors, while wasps and bees are attracted to light, bright, floral colors.

Non-Toxic, Anti-Bug Bite Recipe

A bug bite deterrent that is easy to make yourself is made from a blend of one or more of the following ingredients.

Choose one or two of these organic essential oils (2 tsp. total oil):
Lavender essential oil
Rosemary essential oil
Juniper essential oil
Lemon essential oil

1 cup of 180 proof grain alcohol (you can buy this at a liquor store, or you can also use pure water if you don’t have alcohol.)

Directions: Combine a total of 2 tsp. of essential oil with 1 cup of 180 proof grain alcohol.

Place it in a bottle with a tight-fitting lid. (You can also put it in a spray bottle to easily spray on your skin before going outdoors.) Shake well.

Test it on a small patch of skin first to make sure you are not sensitive to the oil and alcohol. If you are alright with the test, use it on your skin to avoid bites.

If you are already bitten and you are itching and wanting to scratch the pain away, here are a few remedies.

1. Rub aloe vera (either freshly cut or from a bottle) on bites and stings to ease burning.

2. Get relief from itches by applying a few drops of lavender oil or tea tree oil to the affected area as needed.

Extreme Itching

Recently I was bitten by some kind of small bug in Florida. I was absolutely miserable. I thought the itching was never going to stop.

I was not sure where I received the bites, or if they were even all the same type of bug bite. It seemed to get worse a few days later and it wasn’t stopping. I was overwhelmed with the itching.

I now use food-grade hydrogen peroxide on all of these hurtful bites, whatever they are. I dab the food-grade hydrogen peroxide on the itching spots with a cotton swab or a cotton ball. This solution will oxygenate the bite or itchy spot and kill any parasite that may be inside the skin, and also oxygenate and destroy any infection in the bite.

Putting the food-grade hydrogen peroxide on the skin where you are itching can hurt a lot, so I would apply the hydrogen peroxide in the bathroom, immediately before getting into the shower to scrub with soap (like a tea tree oil soap) and a body brush. It is very effective and can stop the extreme itching quickly.

You may need to do this each day, until you are sure it has stopped the itch, killed the parasite, or stopped the infection. With much relief, you can be on the road to healing. I order food-grade hydrogen peroxide through the internet. It is extremely strong.
I order 12% and 35% food-grade hydrogen peroxide, and I keep it in my refrigerator at all times.

You will need to be very careful when handling this and keep it out of the reach of children. You may want to use normal over-the-counter (3% grade) hydrogen peroxide, but the food-grade is much stronger (35%) and purer, and I prefer it. You can water it down a bit, if it’s too strong for you.

I love using food-grade hydrogen peroxide for many things. The Global Healing Center has an excellent article on its many holistic healing methods. https://explore.globalhealing.com/food-grade-hydrogen-peroxide/
The brand I just purchased is from the website Into The Garden Of Eden. Keep it well labeled and in a cool, dark place, so it maintains its strength longer.

Bone Alignment

Another thing to know is that if the backbone is out of alignment, it can cause extreme itching. If the atlas bone at the top of the spine is out of alignment, that can cause extreme itching in the upper arms. (Just on a side note, if the atlas bone is out of alignment, that can also be misdiagnosed as a stroke in elderly people and MS in younger people.)
I personally go regularly to my chiropractor to maintain my alignment. My chiropractor,
Dr. Michael Hall, is also a neurologist, and he has treated me on a regular basis for over 16 years. Chiropractors all have different techniques, so find one that is best for you.

Poison Ivy or Poison Oak

Once I went with my husband to hike in the woods with our dog. Our dog was running around in the woods and got poison ivy on his fur. I was petting him and brushing off the sticker burrs, and unknowingly got the poison ivy from his fur. I used tea tree oil on the poison ivy rash and it was almost gone the next day. I also used tea tree oil shampoo on our dog.

A few years later, one of our house remodeling contractors had a terrible case of poison ivy. He had used cortisone, medicines from the doctor, and everything he could think of for more than four months. He was absolutely miserable.

I gave him my tea tree oil to try. The next day, he came back absolutely astounded at how well it had worked. His poison ivy was gone in a matter of days.

I have found that putting on food-grade hydrogen peroxide first, then washing it with soap and water, and then putting on the tea tree oil, is even more effective. This combination of food-grade hydrogen peroxide followed by tea tree oil also works extremely well for poison oak and fire ant bites as well. I use this combination of hydrogen peroxide followed by the tea tree oil on any itchy place, bite, or rash. It is especially good for bites that have a fluid in them.

Tea tree oil has antibacterial properties. It is not supposed to be used on an open wound.

I used it on a large swollen bite my son had on his back. It was the middle of the night and we were staying in a remote hotel built into the side of a mountain in Greece, with no medical care nearby. I didn’t know what to do, so I kept putting tea tree oil on it.

The following day, the swelling had gone down to half, and by the next day, it was almost completely gone. We were so thankful.

Another use for tea tree oil is for chicken pox.

My son got chicken pox when he was four. He is a redhead and has very sensitive skin. I put tea tree oil directly on each spot all over his body. I thought it would help him not to itch or scratch. In the morning, his chicken pox outbreak was gone, with no scars, no itching, and no complications. It was amazing.

His doctor was completely astonished, as was his preschool teacher. I have used it on just about everything ever since.

In my opinion, the New Zealand variety of tea tree oil smells better than the Australian type, but both work really well. You can also use aloe vera leaf gel on the rash to soothe and promote healing.

Baths

Organic oatmeal baths are good for calming us down, as well as encouraging the healing of any skin irritations. Use 1/2 to 1 cup raw uncooked organic oatmeal in the bath, and soak for about 20 minutes.

Wheat grass juice baths and bentonite clay baths are also both helpful to detoxify the skin and heal irritations. You can get wheat grass powder and bentonite clay powder for baths at the health food store. Just follow the directions on the package. 

Jelly Fish Stings

If you go to the beach and get stung by a jellyfish, it can really hurt. If you have a lemon or lime handy, rub the cut fruit on the place that hurts. The citrus can help take the pain out. (An out of the ordinary remedy that also works, would be to use urine on the sting.)

Natural Sun Protection

I personally do not wear sunscreen and I don’t recommend it at all. Sunscreens reportedly reduce Vitamin D3 levels in the blood by up to 99 percent. (1)

What do you do about preventing sunburn if you need to be outside for long periods of time? Stay in the shade when you can, and wear protective clothing and a hat.

According to Dr. Elizabeth Plourde, sunscreens have carcinogenic ingredients and hormone disrupters that should be avoided: oxtinoxate, octisalate, oxybenzone, homosalate, avobenzone, and retinyl palmitate (a form of Vitamin A). Check all sunscreens for these ingredients. They absorb easily through the skin and are toxic when combined with sun exposure.

Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide have been called safe, and reportedly do not penetrate the skin. But, Dr. Plourde said that her research shows her that none of them are safe. Micronized metals will penetrate the skin and enter the blood stream, resulting in cancer and tumors. Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is a known carcinogen.

Dr. Elizabeth Plourde, in her research paper “Exposing the Hazards of Sunscreen,” says there is concern that “sunscreen chemicals should be examined in relation to rising autism rates.”(2) In her work she states that “Sunscreens are endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDC’s) or TiO2 or ZnO nanoparticles. Current research shows these are toxic to all life.” (3)

To learn more, you can read Dr. Plourde’s book “Sunscreens – Biohazard: Treat As Hazardous Waste.”

 

Drinking carrot juice, and eating carrots, sweet potatoes, or tomato sauce is a natural way to protect yourself from too much sun during the summer. The beta-carotene and lycopene in these vegetables give the body some natural sun protection. You can also wear thick clothing that covers your skin, but make sure it doesn’t contain chemicals.

Clothing treated with chemicals such as titanium or zinc oxide will break down in the wash, enter the water supply, and create hazards to the ecosystem.

Now I am using a new night-time cream by Lifewave, along with the Alavida patch for my sun and after sun cream. The company discovered that this night-time Alavida cream is very good for healing sunburn.

These Lifewave patches are embedded with crystals and don’t have any kind of drug in them. They work off the body’s infrared heat and work on the meridians like acupucture does. I absolutely love them.

The X39 patch activates a GHK-cu copper peptide, that results in activating the body’s own stem cells and I have found them to be extremely helpful for wound healing, pain, and my overall health and well-being. (If you want to know more about these Lifewave products, please text or email me at 214-202-9243 or nancyalisa@protonmail.com.)

So, whenever you are outside, get some natural Vitamin D, put on some natural bug protection, wear natural clothing to protect yourself from too much sun, eat beta-carotene-rich foods, and get into the shade if you feel you have been out too long.

I hope these healthy tips help make your outdoor adventures safer and more enjoyable! Enjoy all that sunshine, nature, exercise, and fresh air has to offer.

The post What Are Some Of The Real Health Challenges Today? appeared first on Organic Healthy Life - Nancy Addison - Nutrition.

]]> It’s summer here in North America, and I like to do some cleaning, not only for my home, but also for my body.

I’ve been inside a lot over the past winter and spring months and because of this, I realize that I was not getting as much sunshine, exercise, or fresh fruits and vegetables as I would like.

Summer is a great time to cleanse our body and get ourselves into more optimum health, so that we can have the best quality of life.

In the last few years, it has become more and more apparent to me that many health challenges these days of people and pets are actually a result of toxic overload and parasites.

According to Dr. Gordo Crozier, DO, an integrative physician in Orlando, more than 60 million people in the USA are infected with parasites.

“Because parasites are spread by pets, contaminated water and improperly handled food, they’re becoming an increasingly common health threat in the U.S.” (1)

We can also obtain parasites from other things, such as ingesting dirt particles that are not completely washed off of food, eating meat, walking barefoot outdoors, traveling in other countries, drinking tap water, and swimming in lakes or ponds.

According to Dr. David Jockers, the eggs of parasites hatch during full moons, so he has a full moon parasite cleansing protocol. (2)

What are Parasites?

“A parasite is a living organism that lives off of another living organism, which is called a “host.” There are three basic classes of these organisms”, according to Dr. Jockers. (3)

    • “Protozoa: These parasites are single-cell microscopic organisms that can multiply or divide within the host. They are transmitted from person to person through fecal matter, blood, or insect bites. An example is the parasite Plasmodium, which causes malaria.
    • Helminths: These are worm parasites. They are larger, multi-celled organisms that may be visible to the naked eye. Examples are roundworms, pinworms, trichina spiralis, tapeworms, and flukes. It is estimated that half of the world’s population (over 3 billion people) is infected with at least one of three worms: roundworm, hookworm, or whipworm (4).
      Ectoparasites: These live on (rather than in) their hosts. Ectoparasites are also described as “blood-sucking arthropods.” Examples are lice, bed bugs, and fleas.” (5)

In the US, parasites are often misdiagnosed or undiagnosed. But I have learned over the years that many of the “diseases” people are diagnosed with can actually be caused by parasites.

According to Columbia University parasitologist Dickson Despommier, “About half the world’s population (over 3 billion people) are in infected with at least one of the three worms forming what he calls the “unholy trinity”—large roundworm, hookworm and whipworm. (6)

Dr. Bryan Ardis was on my radio/TV show in May, and he said that if you have a pet, then you have parasites. He mentioned this as he was expanding on how he believes MS could actually be caused by parasites in the brain. (7)

 Dr. Lee Merritt has done some video interviews and shows, concerning her understanding that most cancers are actually parasites and parasite eggs. She said she was taught in medical school that “there really wasn’t a parasite problem in people in the US.”  (8)

There is a problem, and Dr. Merritt believes there is a lack of education for health care providers on this subject and health challenge. In one of her most recent videos, she addressed the parasite/cancer situation: “Cancer is Parasites, the Scientific Evidence, and What to Do About it.” (9)

In this video, she stated that “They have known that Cancer is caused by parasites since 1906.  A Nobel Prize was given for this discovery then covered up.” (10) She goes on to say that symptoms caused by parasitic infections are usually misdiagnosed because they are similar to many common ailments.

Some of these examples are:

An peptic ulcer may actually be a roundworm infection.
Diabetes and Hypoglycemia can be a result of tapeworms.

Parasites could be the cause of health challenges like chronic fatigue, hypothyroidism, type 1 diabetes (T1D), multiple sclerosis (MS), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and Crohn’s disease.

 I have come to the conclusion, after speaking with many doctors and doing a lot of research, that parasites mainly feed on toxins and heavy metals, including mercury. (We can get mercury from the new energy saving lightbulbs, skin care products, dental fillings, vaccines, fish, and tap water.)

Unfortunately, parasites also feed on the essential nutrients in our body. They deplete their host (human, animal, fowl, fish) of nutrition, while at the same time excreting toxins, adding to a toxic overload in the body.
 I understand from my research that we, in the US, are living in a pretty toxic-saturated environment.

Typically, we can be exposed to approximately 40 to 400 chemicals a day from air, water, food, cleaning fluids, fire retardants, EMF’s, energy saving devices, insect sprays, lawn fertilizers, herbicides, body care products, sunscreens, and the list goes on.

Dr. Ardis mentioned that he believes we could realistically be exposed to as many as 5000 chemicals a day! As long as we have these chemicals in our body, parasites have an abundance of food to attract them and support them.

 Dr. Bernard Jensen, an expert in colon research and therapy, states that “the average person over 40 years of age has between 5 and 25 pounds of buildup in their colon. . . Parasites of all sizes thrive in this undisposed residue of fecal matter, slowly but surely toxifying the whole body.” (11) 

90% of Americans have Parasites

We’re talking about nasty critters like whipworms, tapeworms, roundworms, and toxoplasma.

Gut problems like these are usually the first sign:

  • Stomach cramps
  • Vomiting or nausea
  • Loose stools

But parasites don’t just harm your digestion.
 If you feel like you are always hungry, always tired, have achy joints, depression, rashes, hives, insomnia or disrupted sleep, itchiness (frequently in the private parts), yeast flare-ups, abdominal pain or cramping, diarrhea, bloating, coughing or wheezing, food allergies, weakness, or dizziness, you may indeed have parasites. (12)

Dr. Peter Wina, chief of patho-biology at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, says, “We have a tremendous parasitic problem right here in the US. It is just not being addressed.” (13)

Joseph Sterling wrote in his newsletter, Secrets of Robust Health, that parasitic infection is common: Humans can play host to over 100 different kinds of parasites, ranging from microscopic to several-feet-long tapeworms. Contrary to popular belief, parasites are not restricted to our colon alone, but can be found in other parts of the body: the lungs, the liver, the muscles and joints, the esophagus, the brain, the blood, the skin, and even in the eyes. (14)

Some common symptoms of parasitic infection are: constipation, gas and bloating, diarrhea, back pain, joint and muscle pain, irritable bowel syndrome, allergies, insatiable hunger, itchy ears, nose, or anus, unpleasant sensations in the stomach, nervousness, grumpiness, chronic fatigue, lethargy or apathy, various skin problems, problems sleeping, nutritional deficiencies or anemia, problems with the immune system, teeth grinding or clenching, weight gain, forgetfulness, dizziness, and blurry vision.

These symptoms are all worth trying to remedy with a simple detoxification cleanse. 
The most important thing with a good parasite cleanse is that you stick with it as exactly as directed, in order to get rid of all of the egg sacks and the hatched larva that the parasites may have laid in the body.

Whenever there is a full moon, parasite eggs usually hatch. Knowing that, it would be a good idea to start a parasite cleanse during a full moon, and continue your cleanse at least a week or two after a full moon.

Following are some natural ways to help keep your body’s immune so strong, it will help prevent parasites.

Eat raw organic fruits and vegetables

It is especially important to make sure you are eating raw organic fresh fruits and vegetables with your meals, because these contain live enzymes. 

Raw plant-based enzymes take apart foreign proteins and expose the hidden parasites, which have cloaked themselves in a protein coating. The immune system cannot see the cloaked parasites, so it doesn’t know to get rid of them. This is especially true for someone who eats a mostly meat diet. But, when you eat raw, organic vegetables and fruits, the body has a plentiful supply of enzymes that go searching for proteins to eat. It is these enzymes that search the body and find and ingest the protein coating off of the parasites and egg sacks, revealing them to the immune system. The immune system sees the danger and destroys the yeasts, parasites, and any other pathogens.

According to the Britannica, the foods and essential oils of spices and herbs can be used to help remedy a parasitical infestation. (15)

Spices and herbs are “parts of various plants cultivated for their aromatic, pungent, or otherwise desirable substances. Spices and herbs consist of rhizomes, bulbs, fruit, seeds, leaves, barks, flower buds, and stigmas. They are commonly divided into the categories of spices, spice seeds, and herbs. (16)

Garlic

Garlic, throughout history, has been used to treat many health challenges, including viruses, fungi, bacteria, parasites, and cancer. It is a powerful food. It can even chelate (remove) heavy metals from the body. Ingesting garlic can also be a way to prevent mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas from wanting to bite you. (17)

Black Walnut-Nuts & Hull

The nuts and green hulls of black walnut (Juglans nigra) are a favorite of holistic health herbalists because of their ability to cleanse the blood and the intestines. Black walnut hull is used to cure fungal infections. The juice taken from the green hulls are used to kill parasites. Only green hulls should be used. (18)

Wormwood – (Ivermectin is the pharmaceutical version of Wormwood)

Wormwood (Artemisia absinthium) is a perennial herb with tiny yellow-green flowers. The leaves and flowers are frequently used as a stomach problem remedy, and are an effective remedy for intestinal worms. It is advised to avoid taking wormwood if you are a nursing woman. Wormwood has powerful antimicrobial attributes, and can be used for many other types of infections. (19)

Cloves

Another favorite of mine is cloves. Clove buds are an important herb used in Ayurvedic medicines for the treatment of gastrointestinal infections and for worms. 
This treatment has been used for thousands of years. Cloves contain a powerful oil (eugenol), which has been researched and found to help in the eradication of many pathogens in the gut, including parasites. Clove oil has been found to dissolve the eggs left behind by worms. It is believed to be the only oil that destroys almost all parasite eggs. Clove is such an incredibly strong broad-spectrum spice/oil/herb because of its antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, and powerful antimicrobial properties. (20)

Thyme

Thyme is one of the most effective herbs for stimulating the thymus, a major gland of the immune system.  Thyme contains natural volatile oils which are known to help strengthen the immune system. The essential oil of thyme can eliminate the growth of many parasites, and it can kill them in the intestinal tract, as well as reduce intestinal cramping. (21)

Oil Of Oregano

Oil of oregano is one of the most powerful essential oils. It is important to buy one that is not diluted down with olive oil or another carrier oil.  This oil is extremely powerful in crushing free radicals, and it is antiparasitic, antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal. It is an indiscriminate destroyer of the bad pathogens, and can aid in resetting the microbial environment in the intestines. Many studies show the effectiveness of essential oil of oregano with everything from parasitical infections to cancer. There is a study that shows an Inhibition of enteric parasites by emulsified oil of oregano in vivo. (22)

Diatomaceous Earth

Food grade diatomaceous earth (which is finely crushed sea shells) is what I frequently use for eliminating fleas and ticks in my yard and on my pets. Diatomaceous earth absorbs methyl mercury, E. coli, endotoxins, viruses, organophosphate pesticide residues, and drug residues. Its positive effects include killing intestinal parasites, balancing the intestinal flora, killing viruses, and absorbing toxins. (23) It is highly recommended for intestinal cleanses, but it is a very fine powder, so avoid inhaling it.

Reishi Mushrooms

Reishi mushrooms grow wild on decaying logs and also on trees. Reishi mushrooms have anti-tumor and anti-oxidative properties. They can promote lower blood pressure and lower glucose levels. Reishi mushrooms have been used to successfully treat hepatitis B, glomerulosclerosis, ulcers, and they are also antifungal and antiparasitic. (24)

Pumpkin Seed

“Pumpkin seeds and pumpkin seed oil are rich in fatty acids, zinc, copper, sterols, anti-inflammatory agents, and amino acids. Pumpkin seeds are used to treat worms, especially tapeworms. Even though it’s not the fastest parasite killer; it works. The recommendation is to eat raw, organic, sprouted pumpkin seeds every day for several weeks.” (25)  I freshly grind them up and sprinkle them on my salads, as well as my pet’s food.

Pomegranate Seed

Pomegranate has many health benefits, and for decades the pomegranate seed has been used to treat infections from the most common parasites found in humans: roundworms, pinworms and tapeworms. (26)

Bentonite Clay
Bentonite clay is a volcanic ash containing a multitude of minerals. Historically, Native Americans used it for detoxifying and cleansing their bowels. They called it Ee-Wah-Kee, meaning “the mud that heals.” Bentonite has the ability to bind with toxins, drugs, and heavy metals, and draw them out of the body. Many of those are actually what parasites feed on.

I had a cyst on my wrist, and I didn’t want to have surgery to remove it. I started using bentonite clay on a daily basis with my High-Fiber Cleanse. Within three weeks, the cyst had disappeared. Dr. Merritt said to me that the cyst was probably a parasite egg sack. (27)

Strongly polarized, bentonite clay has a powerful electromagnetic field when hydrated. It can attract and hold on to various forms of radiation, and it has the ability to pick up a great deal more than its own weight in positively charged particles. 

Dr. Jensen, ND, DC, PhD, suggested using bentonite clay to absorb the radiation in your bones, which are often subjected to radiation through the use of X-rays, computers, television, and radiation treatments for cancer. (28)

The medical community has found bentonite clay to have amazing healing properties. 

One study by a research duo from Arizona State University’s Biodesign Institute and College of Liberal Arts and Sciences found that  “Unlike conventional antibiotics routinely administered by injection or pills, the so-called “healing clays” could be applied as rub-on creams or ointments to keep MRSA infections from spreading. . . The clays also show promise against a wide range of other harmful bacteria, including those that cause skin infections and food poisoning. . . Their study, one of the first to explore the antimicrobial activity of natural clays in detail, was presented at the 235th national meeting of the American Chemical Society, the world’s largest scientific society. . .” (29)

In addition to finding that MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) was susceptible to bentonite clays, they found the clays exhibited antimicrobial effects against Mycobacterium ulcerans (which is related to tuberculosis, and results in a flesh-digesting disease) and two causes of food poisoning: E. coli and Salmonella. (30)

Arizona State University found that some bentonite clays were contaminated. So, only use food-grade bentonite clay that is specifically labeled safe for internal use. (31)

 I also recommend using a wood, plastic, ceramic, or glass bowl and spoon when using bentonite clay. Avoid using a metal bowl and spoon, because the metal will react with the clay and reduce most of its healing properties.

Bentonite clay can bind with a lot of various toxins, like mercury, EMF’s, graphene oxide, and even some parasites.  I use food grade for people and pets, because this helps eliminate the food the parasites feed on.

Here is a link for some Food Grade Bentonite Clay Capsules I have recommended to my clients. 

Activated Charcoal

Another supplement that can eliminate the toxins that parasites feed on is activated charcoal. Activated charcoal is also wonderful for nausea and diarrhea in people and pets.

Here is a link for one brand that I have used. Wild Activated Charcoal Capsules from 100% Organic Coconut Shells. 

I recommend taking your healthy nutritional supplements in the morning.
Then I recommend taking the detox supplements 1 or 2 hours after the evening meal, because we naturally detoxify overnight.

Herbal Remedies

Always use caution when working with herbal remedies, because some of them should not be combined with others. Do your research.

The good news is that any side effects from herbs are less likely to bother you than anything on the warning label of every single pharmaceutical.

In your research, you might ask a knowledgeable herbal practitioner before taking any of the above suggestions, especially if you are pregnant or nursing.

A healthy diet should be followed whenever doing a cleanse, but especially when taking broad-spectrum antimicrobial supplements.

You might weaken some of the beneficial bacteria in your body, and you will want to replenish these, because these beneficial bacteria are what create your immune system.

Here are a few of my favorite parasite remedies.

Iodine Supplementation

Iodine supports our thyroid and is missing from most foods today. It dissipates when it touches oxygen, so white iodized salt is not an effective way to ingest iodine. I read Dr. David Brownstein’s book, “Iodine: Why You Need It, Why You Can’t Live Without It” many years ago. He explains how we need iodine on a regular basis, to be healthy and to have our thyroid function properly.

He says “it is impossible to achieve your optimal health if you do not have adequate iodine levels. He says iodine deficiency can contribute to: breast cancer, fibrocystic breast disease, detoxification, fatigue, Graves’ disease, and Hashimoto’s disease and may be the root cause of thyroid problems including hypothyroidism and thyroid cancer.” (32)

As a Certified international wildlife rehabilitator, I know that animals require iodine also. I recommend at least one drop of iodine a day for cats and dogs.

What I have learned since then is that iodine is antimicrobial and can disrupt the cellular structure of intestinal parasites. It can also disrupt parasite metabolism, making it more difficult for them to survive. (33)

The bentonite clay, pumpkin seed, moringa leaf powder, and psyllium husk cleanse is one you can make at home.

Moringa leaf powder has a variety of health benefits, from increased wound healing to managing blood glucose. (34). This cleanse can help rid your body of many types of parasites.

I have been doing a cleanse like this for almost 40 years.

Ingredients:

1 tsp. organic psyllium husks


1/8 teaspoon (or less) bentonite clay


1⁄2 tsp. freshly ground, fresh, organic, raw sprouted pumpkin seeds

½ tsp. raw, organic moringa powder

8 oz. purified water

There are anti-parasite cleanses on the market.
Here are a few listed below.

My favorite is the Harmful Organism Cleanse Program by GLOBAL HEALING. Dr. Ed Group creates these products in his own facility. He tests his products for quality, effectiveness, and origin of ingredients. Here is the link for Global Healing.

When doing the parasite cleanse for the first time, you may need to do it for an entire three months (90 days). I recommend this, because you want to make sure you rid your body of the parasite as it goes through all of the stages of life. You do not want it to re-emerge in the future, which can happen if it is in a stage not addressed by the cleanse.

Another parasite cleanse you can do is 
Freedom Cleanse and Restore Protocol from Dr. Bryan Ardis. Here is a link for Dr. Ardis’ website.

I found this parasite cleanse and it’s wonderful and very easy.

Mike Adams, the Health Ranger has information on parasites.  Click here.

When my daughter joined the Peace Corp and moved to Mali Africa, she lived in a mud hut with a dirt floor, no modern bathroom, no electricity, no running water, and she had to get her water from a well. She also ate all the food the villagers made her, in order to maintain her friendly relationship with the people. It is a terrible insult in many cultures around the world to turn down a food or drink offering.

So, when my daughter lived there in that tiny rural village, she started getting more prominently diagnosed parasites. She had to do some tough parasite cleanses while she was there and also when she returned to the US. She is very dedicated to eating healthy and detoxifying on a regular basis, since she is still quite the world traveler and loves nature. In fact, that is my daughter and I swimming in a river in Cambodia, in 2014, bathing an elephant in the photo above. She has a love of nature and adventure like I do and we share that love.

Being someone who loves being out in nature, I realize that I have been doing natural parasite protection protocols my whole life and I didn’t even realize it. (The iodine supplementation that I have been doing for around 25 years, is one of them.)

When our immune system is strong and we are eating nutrient-rich fresh fruits and vegetables, then our body can be strong enough to defend itself against these types of organisms. But when we are ingesting processed, low-nutrient dense foods, microwaved or irradiated foods, or chemicals and toxins, and municipal tap water, these can contribute to a weakened immune system, and our defenses to stay well begin to get broken down.

Adding some of the healthy, anti-oxidant rich foods, with a high pH, is a way one can boost the body’s immune system, detoxify the body from acids and toxins, and boost overall health.

Adding healthy, organic spices, herbs, mushrooms, barks, minerals, and essential oils and other natural remedies, is such an easy way to prevent parasites from proliferating or thriving in the body.

I believe at this point in time, it is important to be aware that parasites can be a real problem in health challenges today. So, cleansing our body of parasitical infections is paramount. Whether you believe you might have parasites or not, I believe that what we ingest directly impacts our health. Because of this I believe avoiding refined foods, sugar, artificial additives and sweeteners, junk food, microwaved foods and liquids, irradiated foods and liquids, and all GMO food is a great way to start. I simply avoid buying those foods and I find other ways to eat delicious foods that are organic, healthy, fresh, and in their most natural form.

One thing I have believed in for a very long time, is that “food in our medicine” and what we ingest becomes our cells, tissue, and blood, and thus directly impacts our health.

My closing thought is that I wanted to make you more aware of the prevalence of parasites in our bodies today.

Please research the various cleanses I have listed and choose the one that best suits you.

You might also want to do a parasite test, such as the one Dr. Ardis offers on his website.

Adding more healthy foods and liquids to your diet, could improve your immune system, raise your pH, naturally prevent parasites, and contribute to optimum health.

Education is power stay enlightened and I encourage you to live your life to the fullest.

]]> I believe we all need sunshine. The sun promotes health and vitality. Just about every living thing on earth benefits from the sun.  Just getting a little sunlight through your eyes, on your face, arms, and legs once daily can be incredibly important to your health. We need to be aware of the safest way to be out in the sun, especially in the summer (which in the northern hemisphere is almost here).

If you must use a sunscreen, for whatever reason, let’s look at some choices.

Which sunscreens are safe and healthy to use?
Not all are helpful, and many are harmful. Recent studies reveal that some sunscreens can cause a Vitamin D3 deficiency, increase the risk of skin cancer, and kill aquatic life. (1)
So, what do you do about sunscreen if you need to be outside for long periods of time?

The post Have A Healthy Garden – Seven Plants to Attract Butterflies appeared first on Organic Healthy Life - Nancy Addison - Nutrition.

]]> I feel closer to God in my garden than anywhere else on earth.

I consider it our sacred job to support and protect the precious soil and creatures that live here. Butterflies and frogs are indicator species that show how healthy our environment is. If our environment lacks these species, then we need to be very concerned, and we need to take immediate steps to correct it
to make it healthier and less toxic.

For this reason, I do three things I feel are vitally important for the health and well-being of my garden: plant flowers that attract pollinators, avoid using pesticides, and provide clean drinking water for animals.

When I plant my garden every year, I plant fragrant, pollen-rich, and nectar-rich flowers. These will provide safe, nourishing food for butterflies and draw more pollinators to my vegetables, fruits, and herbs. This helps the plants produce more food, and it makes my garden more beautiful to be in.

Now, this is more important than ever, because many GMO plants and hybrid flowers (like the “knock-out roses”) have flowers that have NO Nectar. Currently, at least four species of large bumble bees are now extinct because they quite literally starved to death due to enormous areas full of flowers lacking nectar and pollen. I try my best to support the pollinators in our web of life: bees, hummingbirds, dragonflies, bats, and butterflies.

These fragile creatures do so much for the health of our environment, but they need our support. If you care about this, buy plants for your garden or landscaping that are rich in fragrance, pollen, and nectar. Organic, native heirloom plants are always best. Heirloom plants have been handed down from generation to generation of gardeners in a region, so they have proven to do well in a particular soil and temperature.

If you inter-plant some of the flowering plants with your hedgerows, you will provide additional forage for pollinators of all kinds. Stagger your plantings so there is enough food throughout the year.

Here are seven outstanding, nectar-rich flowering plants that attract butterflies and pollinators to keep your garden lovely, fragrant and environmentally healthy!

  1. Butterfly Bush. The butterfly bush is a shrub that produces flowers of white, yellow, pink, and purple. The flower clusters are up to 15 inches long and have a delicate scent that attracts butterflies and hummingbirds to the garden. They require partial shade to full sun, and they grow up to eight feet tall. They are deer-resistant. They bloom from midsummer to the first frost.
  2. Butterfly Weed. The butterfly weed is a pest-free perennial wildflower which is great for saving time and money. It’s beautiful flowers are orange, red, and yellow. They grow about three feet tall and bloom from spring to early fall. With full sunlight and enough water, this easy-to-grow plant will produce beautiful, nectar-rich flowers. Monarch butterfly larvae prefer this food.
  3. Keys of Heaven. Keys of heaven are a brilliant scarlet red plant that attracts butterflies and hummingbirds to your garden. This bushy plant grows at least three feet tall and makes a lovely border. It needs full sun. It will grow in early midsummer in hotter climates, and it will bloom all summer in cooler climates.
  4. Joe-Pye Weed. The Joe-Pye weed is a large plant with nectar-rich, pink flowers. It is a butterfly favorite. It can produce many seeds that you can replant in more areas of your garden.
  5. Sunflowers. Sunflowers come in many varieties. They are extremely easy to grow and are incredibly rich with nectar. They will keep blooming all summer long until the first freeze. They will reseed if you allow them that freedom. The best part is that they will provide beautiful flowers for your home all summer long.
  6. Asters. Asters are a perennial flower that brightens up late-summer and fall gardens with its star-shaped blooms. There are more than 175 species found in North America with a huge variety of colors to choose from. They smell divine.
  7. Dragon Flower. The dragon flower is an easy-to-grow perennial with gorgeous white or cream-colored flowers. They are very nectar-rich and will attract a wonderful array of life to your garden. The Monarch butterfly is particularly fond of these flowers. If you plant them with dill, which the Monarch butterfly caterpillar loves, you have a fabulous combination to help the Monarch butterfly.

A few more plants to add are marigolds, zinnias, violets, lilies, red penstemon, and crocuses. You can grow berries in your garden, or herbs such as lavender, sage, parsley, and dill. Butterflies love dill for their caterpillars.

I have some of the most beautiful Monarch butterfly caterpillars in my garden when I plant dill amongst my flowers. You can also plant female yaupon holly, poplar trees, and redbud trees.

To make your garden non-toxic and healthier, stop using pesticides! Pesticides kill our pollinators, poison the environment, destroy vital nutrients in the soil and the food we grow, and can cause nerve damage to anyone exposed to them. Their runoff pollutes our water, too.

Avoid using pesticides in your yard or garden.

On the environmental side, the weed killer, Round -Up Ready with the chemical glyphosate in it, has virtually wiped out milkweed in Midwest corn and soybean fields.  This has been a major factor in the dramatic 20-year decline of monarch butterflies that depend on milkweed for food and reproduction.

It’s also important to provide safe, clean drinking water for all the wildlife, including the pollinators. Every living creature needs water to survive.

I put a drip on my birdbath so it has a ripple, which is easy for pollinators and hummingbirds to see. The ripple also prevents mosquitoes from breeding in the water, because mosquitoes only lay eggs in still, standing water.

I also put water on the ground to help the local wild animals have enough water to drink. It’s a web of life, and I try to support all the precious parts of that web that God gave us.

Over the last few decades, a handful of agrichemical giants have acquired 65% of the world’s seed supply, so I highly recommend that you buy organic seeds you like, in bulk, and keep them for your own personal use.

I buy a variety of organic heirloom seeds in bulk to use in my garden, and for growing my sprouts, which I put in my salads.

Here are a few organic, non-GMO seed companies that
I recommend:

Mountain Valley Seed Company 

St. Claire Seeds 

True Leaf Market

Annie’s Heirloom Seeds

Grow Organic

If you enjoy Asian food, this is a classic Thai soup that has all the savory Thai flavors!

This soup is a delicious way to add some mushrooms to your diet. According to a study conducted by The University of Western Australia in Perth, eating mushrooms daily may reduce breast cancer risk by nearly two thirds. The study, conducted in China, looked at more than 2000 women, half of whom had suffered from breast cancer.

Researchers found that the women who ate a third of an ounce of fresh mushrooms every day had lowered their risk of developing a tumor by 64%. Dried mushrooms didn’t have quite the same benefit, but still reduced the risk “by around half.”

This soup is gluten-free and vegan.

Ingredients

1 pound organic mushrooms, cut into bite-sized chunks

1 small onion, chopped

3 large carrots, chopped

2 cups shredded or chopped Swiss chard (or other greens)

1 bunch green onions, chopped

1 lime, juiced

1/2 cup cilantro, chopped

1 tablespoon chopped garlic

1 tablespoon chopped ginger

1/2 tablespoon red pepper flakes (more or less depending on your heat tolerance)

2 cups organic coconut milk

1 quart organic vegetable broth

Unrefined mineral-rich sea salt, to taste

1 T. pure, organic coconut oil

Directions

1. In a large stockpot, cook the mushrooms in the coconut oil for a couple of minutes.

2. Add the chopped onion, carrots and garlic.

3. Sauté for 4-5 minutes and then add the ginger and vegetable broth.

4. Bring the soup to a low boil and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the carrots are tender.

5. Add the chopped Swiss chard, cilantro, lime juice, green onions and coconut milk. Continue cooking for about 10 more minutes.

6. Taste the soup, then add the sea salt to your liking.

7. Serve warm.

]]> Weight is such a problem today in the United States and some other countries. People simply cannot figure out how to create and maintain a healthy weight.  That is one reason I wrote the book: Lose Weight, Get Healthy,  And Never Be On A Diet Again!

If you are avoiding taking the drugs Ozempic or Wegovie, I applaud you, because I don’t believe poisoning yourself is a healthy solution for being overweight.

I did a TV interview and discussed some of the “fad” diets.

A friend of mine recently had a stroke. She had been on the Keto Diet for about 2 years. This diet puts your body into starvation mode, so the body begins to use the stored fat of the body for energy, and it helps people lose weight.

I don’t believe that putting the body into “starvation mode” is a healthy thing to do on a continual basis, because it tells the body it is in a “fight or flight” mode, which basically shuts down the immune system.

One problem with this diet is that it really doesn’t address the quality of the food. Also, it recommends a high amount of protein and fat. Many people on this diet are consuming creature protein and fats, instead of quality plant-based protein and healthy fats.

Also, it is the creature foods that can cause ill health and heart attacks, according to the Cleveland Heart Clinic and other research.

The key is to develop a healthy eating plan, with quality food, and a lifestyle that can be sustainable and support your overall health and well-being long term.

Here are five of my slimming secrets:

First of all, include organic vegetables in their natural, raw state. A raw, uncooked vegetable which has been thoroughly chewed and then assimilated will create a set of carbozyme slimming actions.

For fast weight loss, eat the leaves of vegetables, including baby spinach, beet greens, turnip greens, Chinese cabbage, mustard greens, and baby kale. These carbozymes will burn up unwanted fat cells quickly.

Enzymes in raw, organic foods, such as fruits, vegetables, seeds, and nuts act by stabilizing the metabolism, which increases control of the secretory processes. This creates an inhibitory effect on appetite and maintains a normal desire for food. Raw food enzymes soothe the hunger urge and control the gastric secretions, resulting in a decreased desire to overeat.

Secondly, eat a raw vegetable (carrot, bell pepper, or celery) about 10–15 minutes before a meal. Eat and chew it thoroughly.

The carbozymes in raw, organic vegetables will promote the formation of red blood cells, plus stimulate the respiration and nitrogen metabolism of the cell tissues. As a result, this creates better metabolism of protein, normalized blood pressure, corrected pancreatic function, and improved circulation.

This all adds up to better health while slimming down. The carbozymes that the raw vegetables produce alert the metabolism to help cleanse the heavy, weighty molecules that cling to the adipose cell tissues. With this catalyst action, the adipose cells are cleansed of the stored-up fats and calories.

The two recommendations above are the two MAIN things to do. As you do these, try to eat a rainbow of food colors daily. The antioxidants are in the color pigment.

Third, when you eat, take your time. Sit down. Really enjoy and chew your food well. Enzymes need time to help raise your blood sugar. Chewing actually releases properties into the vegetables that are important for health and digestion.

Fourth, try replacing a coffee (caffeine) break with a raw juice or green smoothie break. If hungry, try a glass of pure tomato juice or munch on celery, carrots, or cucumbers.

Fifth, try to have a protein at every meal (including breakfast). In order for enzymes to complete the metabolic process to keep weight off and control your appetite, they need protein. I bet you didn’t know leafy greens are a great source of protein. It is the complex amino acids (which are the building blocks of protein) that your body needs to be healthy, and those are provided by plant-based foods. Spinach is 45% protein.

Vegetables with the highest amount of protein in them are: beans, bean sprouts, green peas, spinach, asparagus, artichokes, Brussels sprouts, asparagus, and broccoli.

In conclusion, slim down by eating delicious, raw, or lightly steamed vegetables, and have more vitality and radiant health!

The post Recipe Of The Month – Raspberry Muffins appeared first on Organic Healthy Life - Nancy Addison - Nutrition.

]]>

On my family’s special occasion days, I would make them these scrumptious muffins!

This is one of our absolute favorite breakfasts. Making them is easy, and they are delicious.

I frequently double or even triple this recipe, because they always want more! They are vegetarian and can be gluten-free, if you use gluten-free flour. This recipe makes 6 to 12 muffins.

Ingredients:

1 c. organic, sprouted garbanzo bean or oat flour (or a whole-sprouted-grain flour of choice)
1 c. organic, non-GMO whole yellow or blue corn flour (The muffins will be blue, if you use blue corn meal.)
1 c. fresh organic raspberries
2 T. organic ghee or butter (melted)
3 T. organic pure coconut oil (melted)
½ cup organic plain yogurt (coconut yogurt will work fine)
½ tsp. unrefined mineral-rich salt
½ c. fine-grain date or coconut sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
½ tsp. baking soda
1 organic egg
½ cup organic orange juice
¼ tsp. organic grated orange rind

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Use one of the tablespoons of coconut oil to grease the 12 large muffin cups. (Frequently I put a little greased parchment paper to line the bottom of the cups. This keeps the bottom smooth when removing the muffin from the cup.)
3. In a mixing bowl, combine all of the dry ingredients well. (flours, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and sugar)
4. In another mixing bowl, combine the egg, melted butter or ghee, 2 tablespoons of the melted coconut oil, yogurt, orange juice, and orange rind. Mix well.
5. Pour the wet ingredient combination into the middle of the dry ingredients, making a kind of well in the center. Then blend quickly.
6. Gently add the raspberries and fold them in. Don’t over mix.
7. Pour the batter evenly into the muffin cups. Fill them about half full.
8. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the altitude and the size of your muffin cups. The muffins should be a toasty color when ready.
9. Serve warm with butter or ghee.

Notes:

1. You can use frozen berries. They don’t taste quite as good as fresh, but please make sure to defrost them and drain off any juice before adding them.

2. You can purchase sprouted flours, like garbanzo bean, buckwheat and oat, at healthy grocery stores. If you can’t find them, you can order them from Blue Mountain Organics.

3. You can use certified organic blue corn meal. It will have 30% more protein and is low in carbohydrates. Blue corn has a deep blue-purple color, and is rich with anthocyanins and high antioxidants. Blue corn is beneficial as both anti-diabetic and anti-cancer.

3. This raspberry muffin recipe is taken from the best-selling, award-winning cookbook/ nutrition book “Raising Healthy Children” by Nancy Addison.

As Valentine’s Day draws near, my research shows that hugs can actually ward off stress and protect the immune system. It is my opinion (after 35 years of research) that isolation or “social distancing” can actually harm your health.

According to research by psychologist Dr. Sheldon Cohen, hugs can actually protect our health and improve our immune system. “We know that people experiencing ongoing conflicts with others are less able to fight off cold viruses. “

“We also know that people who report having social support are partly protected from the effects of stress on psychological states, such as depression and anxiety,” the study’s lead author, psychologist Dr. Sheldon Cohen, said in a statement. “We tested whether perceptions of social support are equally effective in protecting us from stress-induced susceptibility to infection and also whether receiving hugs might partially account for those feelings of support and themselves protect a person against infection.”

I remember a story I read about two twin baby girls. When they were born on Oct. 17, 1995, they were premature by 12 weeks and were put in the neonatal intensive care unit of the Medical Center in Central Massachusetts in Worcester.

As a standard practice of the hospital, the babies were placed into separate incubators in order to reduce the risk of infection.

One baby, Kyrie, was much larger than her sister Brielle, who only weighed two pounds at her birth. The larger baby, Kyrie, slept well and was healthily gaining weight, but her smaller sister, Brielle, was having trouble breathing and had low levels of oxygen in her blood, as well as low weight gain and problems with her heart rate.

Everyone was deeply concerned, especially a particular nurse named Gayle Kasparian, who was trying everything that she could think of to help Brielle.

Then, on Nov. 12th, Brielle had an emergency health situation. She started gasping for air and started turning a gray-blue color. Then she got hiccups, and her heart rate went way up.

Everyone was so afraid Brielle would not survive.

In desperation, nurse Kasparian remembered a common procedure a fellow colleague had mentioned to her once that was common practice in most of Europe, but was not done here in this country.

It was the practice of placing “newborn baby multiple births” in beds together. They called it double bedding. Even though she could not ask permission from her manager, since she was away and was not able to be reached, she asked the parents for their permission to put the girls together in one bed to see if it would help. They agreed. So, nurse Gayle broke the rules and placed the larger baby with her smaller baby sister, now in extreme danger of dying.

The moment they were placed together in the bed, Brielle immediately snuggled up to her sister and within minutes, Brielle’s readings for her blood and oxygen levels were better than they had been since her birth. Kyrie gently put her arm around Brielle. It was such a beautiful hug.

In the article I read, they called it a rescuing hug. It was a very powerful hug. Being together had quite literally saved Brielle’s life. Soon after that, the parents were able to take the girls home, because they both were thriving.

Nurse Gayle did not get in trouble. In fact, the practice of double bedding multiple births is now a standard practice at the hospital. Sometimes, breaking the rules can lead to changes in old antiquated practices. It takes courage and a strong heart to do what you believe in.

So, as we lead our busy lives, remember that our connectiveness and our ability to love are so precious, that we can literally save another’s life by just being there for them.

So, share those wonderful hugs with your loved ones.

Take the time to truly listen, be present and reach out with the most precious gift you can give.

That is the precious gift of you.

You may never know how much of an impact that your hug and/or your smile might have on another life, but it is something you can give every day without spending a penny.

I am mentally sending hugs to you all!

Much love, and have a joyful and loving month of February.

Love, Nancy

]]> Merry Christmas And Happy Holiday Wishes
from my family to yours.

May all the joys of this beautiful holiday season be yours!

One of my favorite things to do at Christmas time

is to make my house smell

Christmas-y!!!

Recipe
Easy home aromatherapy and healthy air!

Ingredients and Directions

Simply put about 4 cups of water in a saucepan
on the stove and turn on the heat.

Add 2 to 4 whole cinnamon sticks

1/4 cup of whole cloves

4 bay leaves

A few star anise pods

1/2 an orange or tangerine sliced

1/2 a lemon sliced

Then bring it to a boil, but just for a second.

Turn down the heat and simmer.
This will release a wonderful holiday fragrance,
and your home will smell festive and warm.

Notes:

1. This simmering pan is an easy way to create a
home-made humidifier. Be certain to add more water regularly, so it doesn’t get too low and to avoid burning the pan. I set a timer to remind myself to check it.

2. The fragrant moisture will humidify the air. This can help with sinus problems, help prevent nose bleeds, and soothe the tissues at the back of your throat. Adding more moisture to the air in the dryer indoor winter months can aid in the reduction of skin and eye dryness, as well as prevent airborne pathogens from floating around in the air.

3. You can add drops of essential oils (like cinnamon) to the mixture. I recommend creating your own recipe with what you have available. Simply use my recipe as a guide.

The post Sweet Potatoes With Cranberries and Apples – Recipe Is Gluten-free & Plant-based appeared first on Organic Healthy Life - Nancy Addison - Nutrition.

]]> This recipe is a nutritious and colorful side dish. It also makes a nice holiday side dish. It is a beautiful blend of sweet and tart flavors. It’s also gluten-free and vegan, so you can provide this dish for those who have those specialized diets.

The sweet potato is sweet, but not the high-calorie indulgence most people think. It has 105 calories per 3½ ounces, about the same as a regular white potato. It is not even a potato but a member of the morning glory family. It is packed with Vitamin A and beta-carotene. This high-fiber food is a wonderful way to add color and variety to a meal.

This recipe makes eight servings.

Ingredients:
5 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut in 1-inch cubes
2 T. pure coconut oil
1 large green apple, cored, peeled, and diced
1 c. raw cranberries
½ c. raisins
1 T. raw, unfiltered honey or coconut sugar
½ c. orange juice

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Place sweet potatoes in a large, oiled (coconut oil or butter) baking dish, and top with apples, cranberries, and raisins.
3. Drizzle with honey or raw sugar.
4. Pour orange juice over the top.
5. Cover and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until sweet potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.

 

Variations:
Substitute yams for sweet potatoes.
Add ¼ cup chopped pecans or walnuts.
Substitute dried cranberries for fresh.
Substitute butter or ghee for the coconut oil.

 

Remember to add the main ingredient.
The Main Ingredient Is Always Love!

]]> I send you this Thanksgiving Day note to say

I count you as one of my most precious blessings!
Thank you for sharing your special inner light with me.

I love you very much and I give thanks for you!

The Greatest Gifts Of Life

Are

The People Who Share It With You!

You are loved, by nancy Addison, organic healthy life
People around the world  are spending this day with family, friends, or alone.
Whatever you are doing today,
I encourage you to eat something delicious and healthy, say a prayer, get some exercise, light a candle,
listen to some music, and find something to do that is special
and that makes you smile, laugh, and feel good.

I thought this quote from Katharine Hepburn’s childhood, was so beautiful, I thought I would share it with you.

“Once when I was a teenager, my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus. Finally, there was only one other family between us and the ticket counter. This family made a big impression on me.There were eight children, all probably under the age of 12.

The way they were dressed, you could tell they didn’t have a lot of money, but their clothes were neat and clean. The children were well-behaved, all of them standing in line, two-by-two behind their parents, holding hands.

They were excitedly jabbering about the clowns, animals, and all the acts they would be seeing that night. By their excitement you could sense they had never been to the circus before. It would be a highlight of their lives.

The father and mother were at the head of the pack standing proud as could be. The mother was holding her husband’s hand, looking up at him as if to say, “You’re my knight in shining armour.”

He was smiling and enjoying seeing his family happy.The ticket lady asked the man how many tickets he wanted? He proudly responded, “I’d like to buy eight children’s tickets and two adult tickets, so I can take my family to the circus.” The ticket lady stated the price.The man’s wife let go of his hand, her head dropped, the man’s lip began to quiver.

Then he leaned a little closer and asked, “How much did you say?” The ticket lady again stated the price. The man didn’t have enough money. How was he supposed to turn and tell his eight kids that he didn’t have enough money to take them to the circus?

Seeing what was going on, my dad reached into his pocket, pulled out a $20 bill, and then dropped it on the ground. (We were not wealthy in any sense of the word!) My father bent down, picked up the $20 bill, tapped the man on the shoulder and said, “Excuse me, sir, this fell out of your pocket.”The man understood what was going on. He wasn’t begging for a handout but certainly appreciated the help in a desperate, heartbreaking and embarrassing situation.

He looked straight into my dad’s eyes, took my dad’s hand in both of his, squeezed tightly onto the $20 bill, and with his lip quivering and a tear streaming down his cheek, he replied; “Thank you, thank you, sir.
This really means a lot to me and my family.”

My father and I went back to our car and drove home. The $20 that my dad gave away is what we were going to buy our own tickets with.Although we didn’t get to see the circus that night, we both felt a joy inside us that was far greater than seeing the circus could ever provide.

That day I learnt the value to Give. The Giver is bigger than the Receiver. If you want to be large, larger than life, learn to Give.

Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get – only with what you are expecting to give – which is everything.The importance of giving, blessing others can never be over emphasized because there’s always joy in giving. Learn to make someone happy by acts of giving.”

~ Katharine Hepburn

Thanksgiving Prayer by Elizabeth Wilcock

Joyeux Thanksgiving to you all.
Let’s take this time to set aside all the negativity and conflict in the world and instead concentrate on being thankful for all the people in our lives and all we do have positive in our life and our world. I hope you all have a blessed, loving, miracle-filled day today and it is beginning of great things with more to be thankful for.

 

Some uplifting music!

Bruce Springsteen with the Sessions Band – This Little Light of Mine

 

Love, Nancy

]]> Question:

I have some dark, puffy circles under my eyes,. What does that mean and is there a way to help them go away?

Answer

Yes, good question.

The dark circles under the eyes are usually a sign of toxic overload.

When we sleep, we naturally detoxify.

A lot of those toxins go into the mouth. Over time, those toxins will continue to accumulate if you are not doing something to naturally eliminate them. They can cause dark circles under the eyes, and eventually ill health.

You must know by now that I am a detox enthusiast!

I feel we are always needing to detoxify from some harmful elements we are exposed to on a daily basis.

Some studies show that we are probably exposed to over 420 chemicals a day.

Oil pulling, or you might think of it as oil swishing, refers to putting a teaspoon of oil in your mouth and then swishing it around in your mouth and in between your teeth for approximately 15 to 20 minutes. I highly encourage you to try this, and do it as long as you can, for better results. Do it as long as you can, when first starting, and try to work up to doing it for 20 minutes for maximum health benefits.

Oil Pulling is an Ayurvedic Remedy used to enhance oral health and well-being. Oil pulling detoxifies the body, removes unsightly stains on teeth, and prevents illness and disease.

Try this on a consistent basis for a couple of weeks, and see how amazingly clean and fresh your mouth feels.

Ingredients

Pure, organic coconut oil or organic castor oil

Unrefined mineral-rich salt

A tongue scraper

A toothbrush

Purified, (non-chlorinated) water

Directions

First thing in the morning, before brushing your teeth or eating anything, take 1 teaspoon of pure, organic coconut oil or castor oil (which actually pulls deeper toxins) into your mouth and swish the oil around in your mouth, tilting your head back, so that it can get to the back molars.

It is very important that you keep the oil in your mouth the whole time and Avoid Swallowing It. (It may taste strange the first few days, but you will get used to it—just stick with it.)

Pull the oil through your teeth and chew the oil so that it activates the saliva. Do this for at least 10 -20 minutes. The oil will turn white in your mouth as you do this. The oil pulls toxins and excess mucus out of the blood through the mucus membranes in the mouth.

Spit the oil out in a tissue or the toilet. Avoid Swallowing The Oil.

After spitting it out, swish your mouth with a cup of warm purified water, along with a pinch of unrefined, mineral-rich sea salt.

Immediately following the mineral-rich salt-water rinse, brush your teeth thoroughly. Use a tongue scraper to clean your tongue well, and then use a toothbrush to clean the roof of the mouth.

Next, drink 2–3 glasses of warm purified (non- chlorinated and non- fluoridated) water with a little bit of the mineral-rich salt in it.

The result will be a fresh, relaxed feeling. Gums will bleed less and teeth will get whiter.

If you do this on a continual daily basis, the dark, puffy circles under your eyes should start to disappear. You may even have more energy, a better memory, clearer skin, healthier gums, whiter teeth, and a better night’s sleep! Try it!

The post Soy And Edamame – Are They A Healthy Food? appeared first on Organic Healthy Life - Nancy Addison - Nutrition.

Edamame is very popular, and it does appear to look very healthy. It’s green, it’s fun to eat, and we are taught that green foods are healthy for us, right?

Edamame is a soy bean, picked while it’s still green.

Edamame contains isoflavones, which are compounds that are chemically identical to estrogen, the female sex hormone. Once these enter the body, isoflavones get converted to phytoestrogens that imitate the activities of the body’s true estrogen. This means that the isoflavones can fool the body and suppress the estrogen receptors in the body, thereby disrupting natural estrogen function. This can cause hormone imbalances of all types.

Soy protein (whether it’s edamame or soy beans) is a complete protein, but it can be very hard to digest. The Chinese did not eat unfermented soybeans, because they contain quantities of natural toxins or “anti-nutrients” and are high in phytic acid. This means ingesting unfermented soy can prevent the body from absorbing other nutrients like calcium, magnesium, copper, iron, zinc, and particularly protein. In China, soy was not used as a food until fermentation techniques were discovered in the Zhou Dynasty (1046–256 BC). When soy is fermented—as in miso, tempeh, or soy sauce—the soy nutrients are more digestible and easier to absorb.

Soy has been linked to gastric distress and pancreatic problems, including cancer, and it can impair our body’s uptake of amino acids. (1) It also contains goitrogens, which are known to suppress the functioning of the thyroid. (2)

Most soy on the market today is from genetically modified (GM) seed. 91 percent of soybeans planted in the United States are GM, and the rate is rapidly growing throughout the world, according to the Natural News newsletter. (3)

Dr. Gregory Damato points out that “more than 95 percent of GM soy (and 75 percent of other GM crops) is engineered to tolerate glyphosate herbicide, the most common formulation of which is Roundup.” (4)

Recent studies by French scientists on the Toxicity of Roundup and Glyphosate found this herbicide carcinogenic. They found it:

1. Causes cell cycle dysregulation, which is a hallmark of tumor cells and human cancers.

2. Inhibits DNA synthesis in certain parts of the cell cycle—the cells’ reproductive process which underlies the growth and development of all living organisms.

3. Impedes the hatching of sea urchins. (Sea urchins were used because they constitute an appropriate model for the identification of undesirable cellular and molecular targets of pollutants.) The delay was found to be dose dependent on the concentration of Roundup. The surfactant polyoxyethylene amine (POEA), another major component of Roundup, was also found to be highly toxic to the embryos when tested alone, and could therefore be a contributing factor. (5)

These reasons are why I don’t eat soy if I can avoid it, or any other genetically modified food or non-organically grown food. I recommend reading more about glyphosate herbicide if you are eating non-certified organic foods. (See “Resources” for reading materials.) Be aware that soy is added to tortillas, breads, fake meats, and many other foods, supposedly for the “health” benefit. In my opinion, it is really used as cheap filler.

Health and nutrition expert Dr. Joseph Mercola writes that the advertising industry has misled the public about the safety and health benefits of soy, as well as the widespread use of it in the Asian diet. He states: “A study of the history of soy use in Asia shows that the poor used it during times of extreme food shortage, and only when the soybeans were carefully prepared (e.g. by lengthy fermentation) to destroy the soy toxins.” (6)

He goes on to say that, contrary to some reports in the West, it is not the usual practice in Asian countries to feed soy milk to infants. (7)

A billion-dollar industry advertises soy as the answer to many health issues. Soy is frequently touted as the answer to women’s menopause problems, heart disease, and weight problems, as well as a great protein source. Be aware of this when you read food labels that refer to soy’s health benefits, even those that display an FDA approval statement that soy can help lower the risk of heart disease. (8)

In 2000, two FDA employees, Daniel Doerge and Daniel Sheehan, were so worried about the danger of soy that they wrote a controversial letter to their employer, protesting the positive health claims for soy that the FDA was approving at the time. (9)

They wrote: “There is abundant evidence that some of the isoflavones found in soy, including genistein and equol, a metabolite of daidzen, demonstrate toxicity in estrogen sensitive tissues and in the thyroid. This is true for a number of species, including humans. Additionally, isoflavones are inhibitors of the thyroid peroxidase which makes T3 and T4. Inhibition can be expected to generate thyroid abnormalities, including goiter and autoimmune thyroiditis. There exists a significant body of animal data that demonstrates goitrogenic and even carcinogenic effects of soy products. Moreover, there are significant reports of goitrogenic effects from soy consumption in human infants.“

Think carefully about the effects that soy can have on the thyroid, our master gland which affects almost all aspects of our health, and estrogen. Many doctors and nutritionists are soy proponents. Be careful and research this yourself if you are concerned.

Soy is touted as a solution to menopause hormone imbalances. This is one of the reasons why so many doctors and older women were happy to embrace it. Soy and soy-based products contain isoflavones or phytoestrogens, which are plant-based estrogens. Soy is not the only food that contains phytoestrogens. There are other less controversial and more

digestible foods with phytoestrogens you can include in your diet. (For more information on phytoestrogens, see “Phytoestrogens and Breast Cancer—Fact Sheet #01”)

For men, eating soy isoflavones can significantly reduce testicular function and lower luteinizing hormone (LH) production, which is what signals the testicles to work. A high soy intake, which potentially lowers the level of LH, increases the probability of estrogen dominance in men, contributing to hair loss, swollen and cancerous prostates, and insulin resistance. Dr. Doris Rapp, MD, a leading pediatric allergist, asserts that environmental and food estrogens are responsible for the worldwide reduction in male fertility. (9)

Soy consumption has been linked with cancer in adults, notably breast cancer, as I read in an article by Jim Rutz. He went on to say: That’s why the governments of Israel, the UK, France, and New Zealand are already cracking down hard on soy. . .(10)

In sad contrast, 60 percent of the refined foods in US supermarkets now contain soy. Worse, soy use may double in the next few years because the last thing that I heard was that the out- of-touch medicrats in the FDA hierarchy are considering allowing manufacturers of cereal, energy bars, fake milk, fake yogurt, to claim that “soy prevents cancer. It doesn’t. . .

P.S.: Organic soy sauce is fine. Unlike soy milk, it’s perfectly safe because it’s fermented, which changes its molecular structure. Organic miso, natto, and tempeh are also okay, but avoid tofu.

Soy can create allergic reactions. In 1986, Dr. Stuart Berger, MD, placed soy among the top seven allergens, one of the “sinister seven.”

Finally, soy protein isolate, a byproduct of soybean oil processing that is found in a huge number of vegan foods, is something to avoid completely. The processing of soy protein isolate is done mostly in aluminum tanks that leach high levels of

aluminum into the product. Then MSG, flavorings, preservatives, sweeteners, and synthetic chemicals are frequently added to help get rid of the “beany” taste and add more “meaty” flavor. In animal experiments, the test animals fed soy isolate developed enlarged organs, particularly the thyroid and the pancreas.

After the soybeans, which are mostly GM varieties, are crushed to extract the oil, the leftover soy “chunks” (which still contain fiber, water, some fat, and other carbohydrates) then undergo another extraction process that involves hexane—a neurotoxin that is also a substantial component in gasoline. The next step involves soaking these chunks in a chemical mixture (which commonly contains ammonia and hydrochloric acid) to help concentrate protein levels and achieve a sponge-like texture. Finally, the mixture is then spray-dried.

A regular, standard soybean contains 40 percent protein, while soy protein isolate is usually about 95 percent protein.

Soy protein isolate can only be made in factories. Healthy, whole foods should be possible to make in a kitchen. You can grind your own almond flour at home from almonds. You can make your own seitan (wheat meat) at home. You can make your own rice milk or hemp milk at home with a blender and some whole-food ingredients. The only way to make soy protein isolate is by using extremely flammable and hazardous chemicals, like hexane, and extreme temperatures that you could not possibly obtain in a kitchen setting. (11)

Hexane is not used in the production of organic soy protein isolate. For a list of which protein bars and soy burgers are made using hexane-extracted soy protein isolates and which aren’t, go to:

www.cornucopia.org/hexane-guides/hexane_guide_bars.html. As I researched soy, I came to seriously reconsider its use. When I first became a vegetarian, I used soy for many things. I used to feel that soy milk, soy beans, and other soy products were foods I should use. I learn something new every day. No one knows everything, so be open to new information.

I found some soy vegetarian alternative meats worked really well as transition foods from a meat-based diet. Some of them didn’t taste very good and were a huge waste of money, but a few were pretty good. I always looked for organic ones, but those were rare. I slowly weaned myself off them. There are many more choices today that are organic and taste much better than what was available in 1988.

As I have learned more about soy, I always try to avoid it if possible. I do, however, use organic fermented soy sauce. I also use organic miso and tempeh occasionally. There are alternative organic misos now that are made with brown rice, garbanzo beans, and barley, and they taste terrific. I buy these instead of the soy variety.

In conclusion, if you are going to buy soy, buy certified organic soy because it won’t be from genetically modified seeds. Buy sprouted and/or fermented soy for a more digestible and less harmful soy protein, and avoid soy protein isolates.

The post Holistic Ways To Lift Depression appeared first on Organic Healthy Life - Nancy Addison - Nutrition.

]]> Depression, stress, and anxiety are such major problems in our world today.I have people contact me regularly about themself (or someone in their family) who is struggling with depression, anxiety, sleep disorders, or even suicidal thoughts.

According to the Anxiety and Depression Association, depression is the leading cause of disability in the U.S. for ages 15 to 44.3, and affects more than 16.1 million American adults. Nearly one-half of those diagnosed with depression are also diagnosed with an anxiety disorder.(1) According to CNBC, the suicide rates for young people rose 62%. (2) The drugs prescribed to many people (even children) actually have side effects of suicide and self-harm.(3)

No one is immune from the day-to-day stresses that occur in our lives, especially now, during these uncertain and challenging times.

Stresses can be anything from someone cutting us off in traffic, work-related stresses, or the loss of a close friend or relative.Anxiety can develop from a variety of reasons, which could include the state of the world today, poor diet or lack of certain nutrients, lack of exercise, lack of companionship, or fear mongering from the main stream media, and the list goes on.We all live in the present world and we are aware of disturbing situations. We might see them or hear about them and start to feel helpless or unable to sleep, and it can be tough getting those images out of our mind.

I feel we need to learn to limit what we intake, especially if we have no control over the situation and cannot help in any way, and focus on what we can do in our present situation. If we can, we need to be more of an observer in these times and avoid absorbing others’ pain. It won’t actually help them if we absorb their pain, and it can make us ill.

I know many people in the last few years who have lost loved ones. How do you console someone who is grieving the loss of a loved one, like a child?

Just thinking about that can make you so incredibly sad, it hurts your heart. The loss of a child very painful. Just being aware of someone’s pain can cause us to become so sad that we can’t sleep or function either.When these things happen, a simple act of reaching out can carry an immense weight. It’s the love and emotional support that comes with your words that can leave a supportive and ongoing influence.

The main thing is, we can be compassionate and caring, but avoid absorbing their pain.

We can sometimes be concerned that we might say the wrong thing, but if you speak from the heart and speak with kindness, this shows you care and that is what matters.I like to add people who I know are grieving to “prayer group” prayers.

I’ve found that to be extremely helpful. I believe prayer is very powerful. I also believe our thoughts are powerful, and if we can send people loving thoughts of support, I actually think that helps tremendously.

We can also get together with them and simply do things, even as simple as going to hear an uplifting concert or playing a game, to help alleviate the heaviness of what they are struggling with. Get them to go volunteer doing something they usually enjoy or make a meal together. It shifts that heavy energy and can help lift everyone’s spirit.We may not be able to prevent ourselves or our loved ones from being affected by daily stresses, but we can choose how we react to them, and how our body is able to handle them.

Being a health counselor and nutritionist, I understand that most people these days need some help once in a while with boosting mood, reducing or handling stress more effectively, or overcoming depression.Studies show that the pharmaceutical drugs prescribed these days are actually a cause of suicide and self-harm. (3)

In the past two years, I have found an excellent way to lift the mood and spirit, while also helping the body to reduce pain and inflammation. What I am referring to is the new photo-therapy technology with the Aeon patch.  I use them myself, and I also recommend them to many of my clients. They are non-transdermal. The AEON patch has actually been called the “happy patch” because it can reduce anxiety, while also helping to decrease pain and inflammation. It has been studied and found to be anti-inflammatory, anti-stress, as well as raising anti-neoplastons, brain balancing, and calming.

When you put on the new photo-therapy technology Aeon patch, it has been found to reduce cortisol, reduce c-reactive proteins, and elevate DHEA.  The name of the substance that is elevated in the liver is called phenyl-glutamine. The Aeon patch is good for wearing at night.I put on an Aeon patch when I am feeling a bit low or overwhelmed with things.

(If you want to try the new photo-therapy technology patches, my referral number is 1439757. Let me know when you are ordering them, so I can help you place your order, and/or give you advice on how to use them in the most effective way possible.)There are also a number of foods and supplements that can help reduce the effects of stress on our health, help us to sleep better, and fight depression.

In this article, I am going to discuss a few things to avoid in processed or restaurant foods that can be unknowingly contributing to anxiety or depression.

A basic first step is to eat a well-balanced diet of organic fresh fruits and vegetables. I recommend always buying organic, non-GMO foods when possible, because they will have a much higher nutrient content, and less chemical toxins for your body. Eating a more plant-based diet is recommended.

Some of these plant-based foods are listed below.

Organic/non-GMO, sprouted, organic lentils, chickpeas, beans, and quinoa are a wonderful source of protein, but in addition to this, they are rich in B Vitamins. The B Vitamins have a calming effect on the body. B Vitamins can enhance our mood and help reduce anxiety.

Organic/non-GMO, sprouted beans and legumes are healthful boosters of both dopamine (essential for the normal functioning of the central nervous system) and norepinephrine (known as the stress hormone, because it is released in times of high anxiety “fight or flight” situations). They are both neurotransmitters. (Neurotransmitters are complex chemical couriers that coordinate communication between neurons, which in turn influence every cell, tissue, and system in our body.) What we eat affects the formation of neurotransmitters, and some diet-related neurotransmitters have a significant effect on our mood, our appetite and our cravings.

Organic/non-GMO romaine lettuce, spinach, turnip greens, mustard greens, parsley, collard greens, broccoli, cauliflower, beets, citrus fruits, lentils, basil, arugula, sunflower seeds, and mushrooms all contain the nutrient folate (B9), which helps us attain a calmer mood.

Enjoy organic/non-GMO yellow, orange and red fruits and vegetables. Papayas, beets, apples and red bell peppers have Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and folate, which enhance mood, energize, and repair cells damaged from stress. It is wonderful how eating a piece of fresh fruit can help calm the brain.

Organic/non-GMO green vegetables like romaine lettuce, spinach, turnip greens, mustard greens, parsley, collard greens, broccoli, cauliflower, beets, and lentils are packed with Vitamin A.

Celery and celery seeds have been found to help lower blood pressure, reduce the risk of cancer, reduce inflammation, and prevent age-related vision loss. It has been found to aid in the growth and development of nerve cells, creating a soothing effect for nerves. I like having a glass of pure, freshly juiced celery juice by itself a few times a week for the health benefits.

Eat organic/non-GMO foods that are purple. These foods contain anthocyanin antioxidants, which can help reduce inflammation which contributes to bad moods. Purple foods include wild blueberries and purple potatoes.

Wild Blueberries have been found (in a fully controlled double-blind study) to prevent low mood and depression. The study examined the effects of the flavonoid-rich blueberries on mood in young people, and found that the blueberries significantly boosted mood, which in turn helped prevent depression in young people. Wild blueberries have twice the antioxidant power of regularly cultivated blueberries, and more antioxidants than twenty other fruits and vegetables, including cranberries, strawberries, plums, and raspberries.

Purple potatoes were considered “treasures” of the Incas. Purple or otherwise, don’t peel these purple potatoes. The skins of vegetables and fruits commonly contain high levels of antioxidants and nutrients, and are frequently much greater than the fruit or vegetable itself. (This also applies to skins you would not normally think to consume, like lemon skins). The organic/non-GMO purple potato skins contain iodine, which is the main nutrient that supports your thyroid and helps stabilize hormone levels. This will help prevent mood swings. The health benefits of purple potatoes are that they can stop the blood vessels from feeding cancer cells, they boost the immune system, and they help in digestion health.

My children always loved it when I made purple mashed potatoes when their friends came over for dinner. It made our dinner more colorful and fun.

In addition to fresh, organic/non-GMO fruits and vegetables, here are some effective stress-reducing foods and supplements you can add to your diet:Maca root is a wonderful superfood that originated in the Andes. The raw powder of the maca root helps the body cope with stress. It contains more than 55 beneficial phytochemical nutrients that help our bodies regulate hormones, relieve the symptoms of depression, reduce stress, elevate mood, and increase stamina. Maca root has been found to fortify weak immune systems and aid in re-mineralizing the body.

Maca root helps the adrenal or suprarenal glands, which can be weakened by stress. These glands are chiefly responsible for regulating our body’s stress response. Common symptoms of adrenal fatigue include dark circles under the eyes, low blood sugar, lower back pain, knee weakness or pain, fatigue, cravings for sugar or salt, chronic infections, and lack of libido. The adrenal glands are very important for our immune system and proper thyroid function. Not many foods support and nurture the adrenal glands.Maca comes in gold, red and black colors.

The red maca is most beneficial for balancing hormones, and increasing strength and stamina. Out of the three varieties, the red type has the highest amount of amino acids (the building blocks of protein).

I buy raw, organic red or black maca root powder, because the raw root is not processed over 118°F, and therefore it retains the live enzymes necessary to feed the cells of the body. You can purchase maca root powder at health food stores or online. Maca root does not have much flavor, so you can add it to many foods. I add it to smoothies in the morning, and it goes well with fruit or cacao smoothies.

Drink plenty of high-quality, mineral-rich water and avoid chlorinated and fluoridated tap water. The chlorine can destroy the
Vitamin E and the good probiotics in your body. The fluoride and the chlorine can prevent the thyroid from absorbing iodine, which is the necessary nutrient needed for the thyroid to function properly. The thyroid can directly affect your mood and energy levels.I like to drink a water here in Texas called Crazy Water. It has natural lithium in it that is a natural mineral. (Natural lithium is completely different from chemically made ones by pharmaceutical companies. I don’t recommend those types at all.) “Multiple studies conducted in Texas have found a fascinating correlation between lithium levels in drinking water and positive mental health outcomes. Specifically, research has shown that communities with higher natural concentrations of lithium in their drinking water have lower rates of suicide and violent behavior compared to those with minimal lithium presence.” (4)

You might look around in your area, state or country and see if you have any natural waters with this mineral in it.

Balancing Hormones Can HelpHormones can play a part in how we feel. Depression, anxiety, insomnia, and low libido are all signs that our hormones may be imbalanced. I use the  new photo-therapy technology Sp6 patch, which balances hormones, increases organ function, helps control appetite and cravings, while also balancing the hypothalamus and regulating the autonomic nervous system and helping with digestion.In addition to using the Sp6 patch,

I  also use another photo-therapy technology Lifewave Aeon patch to lift my mood. No drug and no known side-effect. I love to sleep in it. it is quite effective and can work within 20 minutes for me. It’s so powerful, it has been called the “Happy Patch.”

Aeon is an anti-inflammatory, anti-stress patch that calms the nervous system, because of this, it’s called the happy patch. Raises Anti-neoplastons, brain balancing, calming. reduces cortisol, reduces c-reactive proteins, elevates DHEA.  Aeon reduces 5 types of inflammation: c-reactive protein, inflammatory cytokines, homocysteine, lipid peptide and fibrinogen while increasing antioxidant activity.
(If you want to try the new photo-therapy technology patches, my referral number is 1439757. Let me know when you are ordering them, so I can help you place your order, and I will provide you with help for using them in the most effective way possible.)

Food And Beverages Can Help Balance Hormones

Tulsi tea (also known as Holy Basil), is a member of the mint family and a sacred plant in India. It has been shown to help regulate hormones and relieve stress, as well as other health benefits.

Tulsi tea (Holy Basil) is a powerful antioxidant with demonstrated antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory properties. In addition to the tulsi tea, consuming healthy fats like avocado or avocado oil, coconut oil, cold-pressed hemp or flax seed oil (an Omega-3 fatty acid) can boost your mood, as well as help in regulating your hormones.

Also, according to William Li, M.D., President of the Angiogenesis Foundation, beets are particularly good, because eating them contributes a particular bacterium, Lactobacillus reuteri, that supports the immune system. This healthy bacterium will enable your body’s ability to boost testosterone production, help your body reduce fat cell production (so you stay slim) and decrease tumor growth. This beneficial bacterium will actually talk to your brain and have it release oxytocin that makes us feel good.

Make sure you avoid using alcohol based or toxic mouthwashes, because these toxic mouthwashes or toothpastes will destroy your beneficial bacteria that are naturally in your mouth.

These beneficial bacteria are important to have in your mouth when you are chewing food. (Yes, we all need to slow down and chew our food well.) These bacteria help process things like the nitrates (naturally occurring, not the synthetic variety) in the beets, or the glucose syanaze in watercress. This way you can obtain the most optimum health benefits from consuming healthy fruits and vegetables, like beets, onion, garlic, greens, watercress, and more.When we eat nitrates from plants, the chewing and natural bacteria in our mouth convert these nitrates into nitrites. These natural nitrites that we have converted from the nitrates, when absorbed, are stored in our cells, and are then turned into nitric oxide, which is a compound that’s proven to relax blood vessels and increase blood flow.

Many people struggle with hormone balance. Using a bio-identical compounded hormone created from yams is beneficial, and avoids the side effects that can come from using synthetic versions. It is recommended to balance estrogen, progesterone and testosterone. A low testosterone can create depression.

Low progesterone can affect your ability to sleep.

To determine your individual hormonal needs, have your physician thoroughly evaluate your hormone levels with a blood or urine test. You may need to specifically request non-synthetic hormone therapy. Some physicians are not aware that there is a natural compounded hormone therapy, and you may need to help inform your physician, or find a naturopathic physician who will prescribe this for you.

After starting a natural hormone replacement program, your physician will monitor and re-evaluate your hormone levels, to assure they are maintained at their optimum range.I order  organic/non-GMO foods from the Health Ranger’s store. The Health Ranger, Mike Adams, analyzes the products personally for purity. (He carries a variety of things other than foods, including water purifiers, essential oils, and more.)

Supplements

Complex amino acid therapy has been found to help with many types of health problems, including lifting mood, calming the mind, and creating a sense of well-being. People who suffer from depression, anxiety and low mood might benefit from supplementing their body with complex amino acids, because they get converted into neurotransmitters. These neurotransmitters include serotonin, noradrenaline and dopamine, and all of them play a major role in brain and bodily functions. In a recent study, the researchers found that elderly people given complex amino acid therapy had “unequivocal improvement” with their dementia.

According to researchers, an imbalance of serotonin levels could be one of the causes of bipolar disorder. This is because this chemical is connected to bodily functions like eating, memory, the ability to sleep, impulse responses, learning, and sexual functions. When we are low in Dopamine, we feel no pleasure, our world looks bland, we feel an inability to “love”, and we have no remorse about personal behavior.

There are organic foods that supply complex amino acids naturally. Here are a few good choices:

A. Banana
An organic banana is a natural food source of tyrosine. Tyrosine is the amino acid that neurons turn into norepinephrine and dopamine. Norepinephrine and dopamine are neurotransmitters that are important in creating our ability to be motivated, concentrate and have a more effective memory.

B. Beets
Beets are commonly called beetroot in the UK, while in other parts of the world (such as the U.S.A.) they are called “beets” and their juice “beet juice”. Organic beets contain the amino acid Betaine. It is an antidepressant. Betaine acts as a stimulant for the production of SAM-e (S-adenoslmethionine). The body cannot do without SAM-e, which it produces. SAM-e is directly related to the production of certain hormones, such as dopamine and serotonin.

C. Watermelon
Organic watermelon fruit, juice, and watermelon rind are all rich with Vitamins A, B6, and C. Vitamin B6 is used by the body to manufacture neurotransmitters such as serotonin, melatonin, and dopamine. I frequently put the cleaned rind and the meat of the watermelon in a blender and create a delicious healthy drink. It is hydrating, and it has both the fiber and the nutrients. (Avoid buying seedless fruits and vegetables, because they are genetically modified. There are no Divinely given seedless plants.)

In addition to consuming healthy foods that contain complex amino acids, 5 HTP is a great supplement that contains these complex amino acids. It has been studied extensively and has been shown to boost the mood in as little as 20 minutes.

L-Theanine is a complex amino acid that can help relieve stress and promote relaxation.

Vitamins
Make sure you are not low in Vitamin D. Vitamin D is prohormone and helps prevent inflammation. A deficiency of Vitamin D can cause depression and has also been linked to cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure, and some autoimmune diseases.According to Creighton University, “Researchers are challenging the intake of Vitamin D recommended by the National Academy of Sciences Institute of Medicine, saying their Recommended Dietary Allowance for Vitamin D underestimates the need by a factor of ten.” Robert Heaney, M.D., of Creighton University wrote: “We call for the NAS-IOM and all public health authorities concerned with transmitting accurate nutritional information to the public to designate as the RDA, (recommended daily allowance), a value of approximately 7,000 IU/day from all sources.”

What Should We Avoid?

To start off a healthier eating plan to help relieve depression or anxiety, eliminate foods that have additives, preservatives, and food color dyes.

On a side note, if you are a coffee drinker, or have caffeine as a part of your diet, be aware that caffeine has been shown to suppress serotonin, as well as cause deficiencies in magnesium, iron and B Vitamins. (B Vitamins are essential for our body to have a healthy  nervous system, adrenal function and a healthy response to stress).

In fact, according to Duke University Medical Center, people who drink coffee have elevated blood pressure and higher levels of stress hormones all day and into the evening, creating a scenario in which the body acts like it is continually under stress.

Coffee’s diuretic effects can cause your body to excrete Vitamins A, D, E, K and the essential fatty acids in the urine. If you rely on caffeine, and suffer from stress or depression, you may want to reconsider if you really want caffeine as a part of your daily diet.Increasingly since the 1960s, more people have come to depend on processed foods that contain colored dyes, MSG, preservatives, synthetic additives, and high levels of caffeine.Many foods such as juices, soft drinks, candy, gelatins, breakfast cereals, baked and snack foods, chips, crackers, cookies, salad dressings, frozen desserts, and even food you wouldn’t normally suspect, such as pickles or fresh produce, are coated in dye to make them look more pleasing or have MSG (monosodium glutamate) added to make people think they taste good.

A 68-page report called Food Dyes: A Rainbow of Risks by the Center for Science in the Public Interest states:

“Studies of the nine dyes currently approved by the FDA suggest, if not prove, that most of the dyes cause health problems, including cancer, hypersensitivity, or neurotoxicity (including hyperactivity and behavioral problems). In many ways, we may be able to help ourselves by cleaning up our diet and eating healthier foods.

Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is a flavor enhancer. The component glutamate, or glutamic acid, is an excitatory amino acid neurotransmitter in the brain.

These neurotransmitters in the brain are normal, but when there is an excess of them, cells will be over-stimulated and die.

According to neurosurgeon Dr. Russell Blaylock’s book “Excitotoxins: The Taste that Kills,” these excitotoxins will stimulate neurons in the brain until the neurons die as a result. This causes various degrees of brain damage. MSG is now added to almost all processed foods, including the sweeteners NutraSweet and aspartame. MSG is found in foods at almost all fast food restaurants and even other restaurants you might not suspect. The reason MSG has become such a huge part of the food industry is because it works on the brain as a pleasure trigger, making you think food tastes better. So, food that normally tastes bland may taste great with MSG added to it. The diet food industry has especially benefited from using MSG.However, MSG can send pleasure impulses to the brain until it kills that part of the brain. This can lead to depression.

Dr. Blaylock has tried for many years to educate people about the toxicity of this additive in our food supply.

The FDA has no limit on how much MSG can be added to food. Theoretically, in children, the long-term effects can be attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism, and other learning disabilities. In adults, conditions such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and Lou Gehrig’s disease, multiple sclerosis, autoimmune disease, sleep disorders, migraines, depression and the inability to lose weight may be linked to excitotoxin damage.

Over the years, more and more MSG has been added to foods.

Hydrolyzed proteins, also used as flavor enhancers, are proteins that have been chemically broken down into amino acids. When they are digested, the result can be the creation of free glutamate, which joins with free sodium in the body to form MSG. This means that while the ingredient label will list only “hydrolyzed protein,” the effect on the body is the same as if the product contained MSG.Free glutamate can cause the body to react as if a drug had stimulated the nervous system. It can affect insulin metabolism, leading to excessive insulin secretion by the pancreas. Some common symptoms of a reaction to free glutamate are anxiety attacks, mood swings, depression, asthma-like symptoms, attention deficit disorder, burning sensations, carpal tunnel syndrome, chest pains, diarrhea, disorientation and confusion, dizziness, drowsiness, fatigue, flushing, gastric distress, headaches and migraines, hyperactivity in children, infertility and other endocrine problems, insomnia, irregular or rapid heartbeat, joint pain, mouth lesions, nausea and vomiting, numbness of parts of the body such as the fingertips, seizures, shortness of breath, skin rash, slurred speech, stomachaches, tremors, and weakness.

For a complete list of hidden sources of MSG that Dr. Blaylock includes in his book, read his book “Excitotoxins: The Taste that Kills.”

Some of the ingredients aren’t MSG when they are put in food, but they create MSG when they touch saliva. Many of these look just like “normal” food ingredients (a few examples of these: textured protein, bouillon, broth, stock, flavoring, natural flavoring, seasoning, spices, hydrolyzed oat flour, malt flavoring and/or extract, enzymes, and soy protein concentrate or isolate). Many of them are added to alternative meat products sold as vegetarian foods.

That is why it is becoming more and more important for your health to buy whole, fresh foods and make meals yourself.

Avoid Soy
Another food to avoid is soy. Avoid soy and soy products that aren’t fermented. Soy foods are promoted as being healthy, but they are very hard on the body and extremely high in goitrogens (substances that are known to suppress thyroid function and actually promote hypothyroidism).Unfermented soy is also high in phytic acid and can keep the body from absorbing other essential nutrients like calcium, magnesium, copper, iron, zinc and particularly protein.

The thyroid is a master gland which controls almost every system of the body, including the heart, GI tract, and your weight, as well as sleep, mood, and the growth of hair, skin and nails. One of the most reliable ways of spotting a thyroid problem is a basal body temperature below the normal 98.6 Fahrenheit – check your morning temperature three days in a row to confirm the actual average.

Research shows a natural supplement containing both iodine and iodide is very important to healthy thyroid function. Iodine and Iodide have different functions and we require both for optimum functioning of the thyroid.

I have always found that working in my garden or preparing food for the table to be a very relaxing and calming experience.When you are preparing a meal, light candles, put on nice music, enjoy a cup of warm chamomile tea (natural caffeine-free chamomile tea has a calming effect on the body), and make it a wonderful, peaceful experience. This can set the tone that can help relieve stress and anxiety.

In conclusion, mood can be boosted tremendously by consuming healthy foods and supplements that fight depression, and avoiding ingredients that can cause depression and anxiety. By eating a nutritious diet, a person can not only lift their mood, but also live a happier, healthier life.

The post Healthy Body Care Products And Ingredients To Avoid appeared first on Organic Healthy Life - Nancy Addison - Nutrition.

]]> I have had people asking me about healthy body care products. They say that they are trying to make their body and their life less toxic. They ask me what to look for on an ingredient list.  What a great question and important to address. So, in this blog, I am going to address some ingredients to look out for in body care products.

One day when my children were small, I read about how the innocent Minnie Mouse Bubble Bath I’d just bathed my children in could cause blindness. I was so alarmed. So I started researching and reading ingredients on everything. How could the U.S. government allow toxic and carcinogenic ingredients in our toothpaste, bubble bath, shampoos, and more?

After going through my bathroom cabinets and reading all of the ingredients, I threw out almost everything! Ever since then, my children and I have been extremely careful about what we put on our bodies. Remember, what we put on our skin, our largest organ, is absorbed into the blood stream. Be sure to use safe, toxin-free products.

According to Harvard Health, “The average woman uses 12 different beauty products every day — cleansers, conditioners, hair dyes, fragrances, skin care products, scented lotions, nail polish, and makeup, to name a few. Take a quick glance at the labels, and you’ll see a cocktail of chemical components. You might assume that all these ingredients have been tested to ensure that they’re safe for long-term use. That’s not the case.

At least on the federal level, no one is checking to make sure that the chemicals you’re putting on your body are harmless. “Products are tested to make sure they don’t cause short-term problems, such as skin irritation. But they’re not tested for long-term safety,” says Dr. Kathryn M. Rexrode, associate professor of medicine and chief of the Division of Women’s Health at Harvard Medical School.
The FDA steps in only if people actually complain about a product because they suspect it harmed them. Prior to that, the onus is on the company alone.(1)

According to the Environmental Workers Group, EWG, ” The average fragrance product tested contained 14 secret chemicals not listed on the label. Among them are chemicals associated with hormone disruption and allergic reactions, and many substances that have not been assessed for safety in personal care products.
 
Also in the ranks of undisclosed ingredients are chemicals with troubling hazardous properties or with a propensity to accumulate in human tissues. These include diethyl phthalate, a chemical found in 97 percent of Americans (Silva 2004) and linked to sperm damage in human epidemiological studies (Swan 2008), and musk ketone, a synthetic fragrance ingredient that concentrates in human fat tissue and breast milk (Hutter 2009; Reiner 2007).”(2)

Here are some ingredients to look out for that might be on the label:

DEA or Diethanolamine. This ingredient is used in many household and personal products such as shampoo, bubble bath, lotions, and detergents for laundry or dishwashing. DEA is a known toxin in industrial applications, now proven to cause cancer when applied to the skin of rats. Dr. Samuel Epstein, author of The Safe Shopper’s Bible and founder of The American Coalition to Prevent Cancer, is a leading authority on toxicology. He issued a strong warning about the use of cocamide DEA or lauramide DEA. Many products contain these ingredients and simply don’t have warnings on them. (3)

Propylene Glycol. This main ingredient in antifreeze and hydraulic fluids is used as a solvent. It’s also found in pet food, lotions, shampoos, toothpastes, deodorants, processed foods, and more. A colorless, hygroscopic liquid, it has been tested by the American Academy of Dermatologists and found to cause skin irritation at low levels. It can be harmful if inhaled, ingested, or absorbed into the skin. It can also cause nausea, headaches, central nervous system depression, eye irritation, skin irritation, and gastrointestinal disturbances.

SLS or Sodium Lauryl Sulfate. This is found in detergents, concrete cleaners, engine degreasers, and more. It’s used in clinical studies to irritate skin tissue. It corrodes hair follicles and impairs the ability to grow hair. When combined with other nitrogen-bearing ingredients, carcinogenic nitrates can form. SLS enters (and maintains residual levels) in the heart, liver, lungs, and brain from skin contact. (4)

Talc. Talcum powder is a mineral made up mainly of the elements silicon, magnesium, and oxygen. Talc is similar to asbestos and “may result in fallopian tube fibrosis with resultant infertility,” according to the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). “Talc’s harmful effect on human tissue has been known for quite some time. Long ago, its dry lubricating properties were used as a glove-donning powder (easy to glide on) for surgical gloves. As early as the 1930s, talc was linked to post-operative granulomatous peritonitis and fibrous adhesions.” (5)

Alcohol. This ingredient is used in many mouthwashes. “Mouthwashes with a content of 25 percent or higher have been implicated in mouth, tongue, and throat cancers.” (6)

A healthy solution for your mouthwash is at the Health Ranger Store. They offer several choices for healthy mouthwashes that don’t destroy your immune system.

Another mouthwash I have used is a combination of antiviral and antibacterial essential oils which has historically been called “Thieves.” It’s a blend of cinnamon, clove, lemon, eucalyptus, and rosemary oils. That is a handy formula that can be used to disinfect and sanitize without harming the immune system.

The name Thieves came from a band of spice traders who would cover themselves with this oil combination and then rob dead people’s bodies who had died during the Black Plague. They contributed never getting the plague to their use of these oils. (7) Note: Weber State University tested the oils and found it had a 99.96 percent removal rate of toxic airborne bacteria. (8)

In conclusion, use body care products with all non-chemical, non-toxic ingredients. Even though many of the ingredients may not be listed on the label, I do recommend taking the time to read ingredient labels, use your common sense and be savvy about protecting you and your family from harmful chemicals in your daily life.

The post Diet Can Be A Powerful Treatment For Diabetes appeared first on Organic Healthy Life - Nancy Addison - Nutrition.

]]> More than 100 million people today have diabetes or pre-diabetes. A recent study conducted by a team of American and Japanese researchers showed that people who have diabetes can vastly improve their health by eating an entirely plant-based diet. (1)

During my work with people who have diabetes, I have found that they show remarkable improvement in their health and well-being from consuming a plant-based and almost completely raw-food diet. Dr. Gabriel Cousens promotes a mostly raw food, vegan diet for his Diabetic patients who would like to reduce their medications.

After they complete the program, they understand that the type of food they eat has a direct impact on their health. (2) In 2014, Cardiovascular Diagnosis and Therapy published a study in which researchers performed a meta-analysis of six significant prior research studies. Researchers found that a plant-based diet significantly improved blood sugar control in Type 2 diabetes.

The results were that plant-based diets improved a key indicator of blood sugar control, an indicator called Hemoglobin A1c. The results improved as much as 1.2 points, which is much greater than the effect of typical oral diabetes medications. (3)

The benefits of excluding meat, cheese, and eggs from the diet was as much as 0.7 points in some of the studies, and averaged 0.4 points overall. (4)

Dr. James Anderson studied 25 Type 1 and 25 Type 2 diabetics. This study involved placing the patients on a high-fiber, high-carbohydrate, low- fat diet in a hospital setting. Dr. Anderson initially put the patients on the American Diabetes Association recommended diet plan for one week. Then he switched them over to a vegetarian, plant-based diet for three weeks.

None of these patients were overweight when they started the study, but they were on insulin shots to control their blood sugar levels. All through the study, Dr. Anderson measured their blood sugar levels, their cholesterol levels, their medications, and their weight. Type 1 diabetics cannot produce insulin, and it was thought that dietary changes would not affect this situation. But, the results showed that after three weeks on a vegetarian, whole-food, high-fiber diet, the “Type 1 diabetics were able to lower their insulin medication by an average of 40%”, “their blood sugar profiles improved dramatically”. (5)

These results were more impressive with the Type 2 diabetics who had not incurred as much damage to their pancreas. After three weeks on the high-fiber, vegetarian diet, 24 of the 25 Type 2 diabetics could discontinue their insulin medication completely.

The one Type 2 diabetic who wasn’t able to get off his medication had been a 25-year diabetic taking 35 units per day. After three weeks of vegetarian food, his requirement dropped down to only eight units per day. As he continued the vegetarian eating plan at home, he was able to cut out all insulin shots after another eight weeks. (6)

Studies have shown that eating more plant- based whole food increases your dietary fiber intake. This can be extremely important to “protect from the development of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, certain types of cancer, some gastrointestinal disorders, hypertension, obesity, and non-insulin-dependent diseases. Furthermore, increasing fiber intake provides therapeutic advantages for the management of high blood lipids, certain gastrointestinal disorders, hypertension, obesity, and diabetes”. (7)

Besides adopting a plant-based diet, diabetics can take six important dietary food supplements to regulate their blood sugar and support their health:

1. Chromium
2. Cinnamon
3. Omega-3 Fatty-acids
4. Vitamin D
5. Zinc
6. Unrefined, Mineral-rich Salt

The mineral chromium helps transport glucose from the blood to the muscles. According to the National Institutes of Health, “Chromium is known to enhance the action of insulin, a hormone critical to the metabolism and storage of carbohydrates, fat, and protein in the body.” (8)

People who eat non-organic foods have a greater likelihood of being deficient in this important trace mineral. The chemical fertilizers used in industrial farming destroy chromium that would naturally be in the soil. This is one of many reasons organic food is always the best choice at the grocery store.

Chromium supplements should have GTF (Glucose Tolerance Factor) on the label. It should say, “Chromium GTF”. Avoid synthetic supplements that don’t list whole, organic foods as the ingredients.

Cinnamon is emerging as a true wonder food. Cinnamon is a spice, and it’s obtained from the inner bark of a few tree species. Research shows that cinnamon can help lower blood sugar, and triglyceride levels in people with Type 2 diabetes.

Cinnamon contains antioxidants that create healthier arteries and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Cinnamon can also benefit us with increased alertness and energized senses. Even a teaspoon a day helps tame blood sugar levels.

Ceylon cinnamon is the best cinnamon to use. Cassia, Saigon, and Chinese cinnamon contain five percent coumarin, which is problematic for the liver. Ceylon cinnamon has only .0004 percent coumarin. Sprinkle it on your morning toast, oatmeal, or other dishes.

Omega-3 fatty acids are healthy fats our bodies cannot make and must obtain from food.

Studies show that adding omega-3 to your diet promotes healthy blood sugar levels. Try adding cold-pressed, organic flax or hemp seed oil to your smoothies and other foods, like oatmeal chia seed pudding in the morning.

Vitamin D (known as the sunshine vitamin) is a prohormone; that is, a fat-soluble vitamin. It is in a family of compounds that includes Vitamins D-1, D-2, and D-3. These vitamins can affect as many as 2,000 genes in the body.

Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine studied the medical information of 124 subjects between the ages of 36 and 89 with Type 2 diabetes. Those with the lowest levels of Vitamin D had the highest levels of blood sugar. Only six percent of the subjects were taking a Vitamin D supplement. You may need to address a possible Vitamin D deficiency. I supplement my Vitamin D intake with a whole-food, organic, raw multi- vitamin.

Zinc is one of the most important minerals used by the body. It helps with the production of approximately 100 enzymes. Zinc contributes to building up the immune system. Zinc is required for protein and DNA synthesis, insulin activity, and liver function.

Zinc is not really stored in our bodies, so we need a regular supply. Men need about one-third more zinc than women, because the prostate gland and semen are highly concentrated with zinc. A zinc deficiency may appear as skin problems, impairment of taste, a poor immune system, hair loss, diarrhea, fatigue, wounds not healing properly, or a poor or slow growth rate for infants.

Even if you eat zinc-rich foods, you may need a supplement, because phytic acid and dietary fiber in certain foods can inhibit the absorption of zinc. If you take a vitamin supplement of any kind (such as a multi-vitamin, Vitamin D, chromium, or zinc), make sure it is in a natural form, not a synthetic one. Synthetic forms of any nutrient can be harmful to the body (9). Instead, buy dietary supplements that show whole, organic foods in their ingredient list.

Unrefined mined salt promotes the proper balance for the endocrine, adrenal, and thyroid glands to function properly. It supports healthy blood pressure, detoxifies the body, and—along with water—is necessary for the optimal functioning of the immune system, hormonal system, and cardiovascular health. (10)

Dr. David Brownstein says low-salt diets “promote toxicity” and have: …adverse effects on numerous metabolic markers, including promoting elevated insulin levels and insulin resistance. Finally, low-salt diets will lead to mineral deficiencies and the development of chronic disease.(11)

In conclusion, you can see that diet is a huge factor in curing or managing diabetes, and also preventing many diseases that diabetes often leads to, including blindness, amputation, stroke, and heart disease.

Additionally, it can prevent having to take insulin injections for the rest of your life.

My award-winning book, “Diabetes and your Diet,” can be an extremely helpful resource for you. The book includes nutrition information and recipes, and is available in large print and audio.

It’s a personal decision that no one can make for you. I always feel it is so powerful when someone finally decides to take control of their health and well-being, and chooses to make the necessary changes. It all starts with making that decision and taking action to execute it.

Contact me if I can help you in any way.

]]> Fresh organic, non-GMO produce is part of a healthy eating plan and lifestyle.

One way we can spend less AND eat healthier is by storing our fresh food properly, so we can avoid throwing out over-ripe or rotting fruits and vegetables.

Because of this, I would like to share some tips I’ve learned over the years for storing fresh food in the best possible way in order to preserve its freshness.

Many times we go to the store and see all of the beautiful fresh fruits and vegetables in season and on sale, and we over buy.
So, first try to only buy what you truly feel you are going to eat in the next few days.

Don’t try to buy produce to last for a week. It may not last that long. Some root vegetables can last a month if stored properly, but fresher, more fragile fruits and vegetables will only last about 2-5 days.

In regards to freshness and how long organic fruits and vegetables might last, I need to address a new chemical coating (Apeel) that some organic growers are now using on their fresh organic produce.

Apeel is classified as a food additive. This means it goes through a different approval process than a pesticide.

In addition to this, under the FDA’s present system, each of these companies can determine whether the substance they are using is “generally recognized as safe” (GRAS) and are allowed to police themselves, without even notifying the FDA.

The company (that makes Apeel) gets to decide if it’s safe. It’s completely self-regulating!

A report by the National Resources Defense Council found major gaps in the system that allow unsafe additives to reach consumers. (1)

So, what is Apeel? Apeel is a film that goes on produce to make it last longer, and it’s approved by the USDA Organics Department. It’s made by a Bill & Melinda Gates partnered company called Apeel Sciences, and they claim it’s safe to consume.

How To Properly Store Fresh Fruits & Vegetables So They Last Longer, by Nancy Addison, organic healthy lifestyle

Some things you may wish to know:

1. Apeel is a coating to place on fresh fruits and vegetables that is supposedly tasteless, odorless, and invisible, and its reason for being used is to reduce food spoilage. You cannot wash it off.

2. The reason they are using it, is to extend the shelf life of produce, and to make the produce look fresh even if it’s been in a warehouse for weeks.

3. There are various versions of Apeel that can be applied before or after harvest. It’s on foods in over 65 countries, including organics in the U.S.

Here is a quote from an article: “Is Apeel Appealing?” by the Weston A. Price Foundation.

“Apeel already has approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as “generally recognized as safe” (GRAS). “

There are two apeel products. The first product, Invisipeel, can be applied by growers to crops in the field. The second one, Edipeel , growers can apply after harvest. “The two products will be marketed as preserving agents (keeping the outward appearance of freshness of the fruit or vegetable), as pesticides (creating a physical barrier for pests) or even as fungicides (such as preventing the anthracnose fungus from shriveling up avocados).”

Apeel makes claims that this product is environmentally safe and simply plant-based, because it’s extracted from food waste, like seeds, peels, pulps, and stems from plants, (the parts that don’t normally get consumed).

Apeel claims to source a lot of its ingredients from grape skins and seeds left over from wine processing. With it possibly coming from natural resources, the final result is enormously different than from some left over orange peels. This is because the raw ingredients are processed by using industrial petrochemical extraction.

I believe that making the claim that they are “environmentally positive” (when they are using petrochemical solvents in the extraction process) is word trickery and deception.

Apeel contains heavy metals and petrochemical solvents, and it may also contain trans fats.

Apeel is made of purified monoglycerides and diglycerides, which are edible fatty acids commonly found in the often-discarded parts of fruits and vegetables. These types of fatty acids may contain trans fats, which are known to cause obesity and metabolic syndrome.

The main problem is that the extraction process contains exposure to industrial petrochemical solvents and heavy metals. Apeel tested the amounts of these solvents and heavy metals in their submission statement to the FDA (page 14). https://www.fda.gov/media/135999/download

Apeel contains lead, cadmium, arsenic, palladium, and mercury. It claims that these solvents and heavy metals are in small enough amounts to not negatively impact the consumer, thus the USDA’s “Generally Recognized as Safe” classification.

Apeel states that a consumer would need to ingest 30,000 apples to ingest 1 kg of Apeel. However, I don’t believe you’d need to ingest 1 kg of Apeel to get a large and harmful dose of heavy metals.

We know that heavy metals build up in our body over our lifetime. I don’t believe it to be a fair comparison to say that there are trace amounts of heavy metals in one piece of produce sprayed with Apeel. That could possibly be true, but that person could have ingested thousands of apples in their lifetime, which would expose them to heavy metals on a daily basis.

What are some things you can do about it?

One of the best things you can do is to support local farmers. Go to local farmers markets and ask them questions about their seeds, their fertilizers, their harvesting techniques, and storage or transporting process. There is really no need to use Apeel if they are selling it straight to you at the Farmer’s Market.

Another important step you can do, is to take the time to submit feedback online to your local grocer, especially if it’s a big chain.

Let your voice be heard, or they simply think you don’t care and you approve of what they are doing.

Let them know that you don’t want produce coated with Apeel and won’t be purchasing any produce with an Apeel coating.

The stores that I understand which ARE NOT carrying foods with Apeel are: Natural Grocers, HEB (which might include Central Market), Driscoll’s, Publix, Jimbo’s, and Bragg’s.

The stores that I understand ARE selling organic fruits and vegetables with Apeel on them are: Costco, Trader Joe’s, Gelsons, Ralphs, Sprouts, Vons, Walmart, Whole Foods, Kroger, Harps Foods, Wakefern, Price Right, Fairway Market, Target, Bristol Farms, Food City, Edeka, Fairway, Netto, and Fresh Market. Aldi won’t say if they are or not.

So, when you are food shopping, avoid buying too much fresh produce that you can’t eat right away.

Then, if you do buy too much, or have a large harvest, you can think about making a pie, or doing some canning, or freezing some of your more fragile fruits and vegetables before they spoil. Always store your food in its complete wholeness.

According to food scientist Barry Swanson at Washington State University, if you pull fruits and vegetables apart, you have broken the cells, and microorganisms will immediately begin to grow. Avoid breaking the skin and leave the stem intact.

He also says you should never place fruits and vegetables in airtight bags. That actually will speed up the decay.

Be mindful that mold will proliferate quickly in airtight bags and can spoil the whole group of fruits or vegetables.

Toss out any spoiled produce immediately, or put it into your compost bin.

Next, make sure you are storing the various types of fruits and vegetables with the right partners. Some give off high levels of ethylene gas (a ripening agent), which makes them and everything around them ripen or decay quickly. You want to keep these types of foods separate from each other.

Put things like kale and spinach in the same bin, and peaches and apples in another. If you put fruit with greens, it will cause the greens to rot or turn yellow in a few days.

Greens are very sensitive to the ethylene gas. I have used a couple of different products like: Bluapple Produce Saver Ethylene Gas Absorber, Produce Freshness Preserver Saver , and also Fresh Flow Produce Preserver , which helps me keep my fresh produce fresher by absorbing the ethylene gas. I just put it in my bin with the fruits and/or greens.

Of course, if you need something to ripen faster, then you can use this knowledge to your advantage. You can put the item that you need to ripen with a fruit or vegetable that gives off the highest level of ethylene gas.

I also use some fresh produce storage bags called Debbie Meyer GreenBags. These bags absorb ethylene gas and help my produce stay fresher longer.

Keep root vegetables (including all kinds of potatoes) in a cool, dark, dry place. They can last up to a month if kept properly. Never store potatoes in the refrigerator, because they will develop a much higher sugar content.

Here is a list of fruits and vegetables, showing the best way to store them. These are high ethylene producers, and you can refrigerate them: apples, apricots, avocados, blueberries, cantaloupe, cherimoyas, cranberries, figs, green onions, guavas, grapes, honeydew, kiwifruit, mangoes, nectarines, papayas, passion fruit, peaches, pears, persimmons, plums, prunes, quince, and tomatoes.

The banana is a high releaser, and should be stored in a cool dark place outside of the refrigerator.

The following fruits and vegetables are very sensitive to ethylene gas: asparagus, bananas (unripe), blackberries, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, chard, cucumbers, eggplant, endive, garlic, green beans, kale, leafy greens, leeks, lettuce, okra, onions, parsley, peas, peppers, raspberries, spinach, squash, strawberries, watercress, and watermelon. Keep them separate from the high ethylene gas-producing foods.

Mushrooms should be stored in a dry paper bag or breathable container and put in a cool place. I’ve been told to gently brush them off under water to clean them before preparing them for consumption.

Try to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables that have been ripened on the vine or on the tree. Tree or vine-ripened foods contain salvestrols, which are compounds that have natural anti-cancer properties.(B)

In fact, the word salvestrol comes from the Latin word “save.” So, growing your own food or buying from a local farmer is one way of getting food that is vine or tree-ripened.

Food that is picked green and then ripened on the way to market does not contain these salvestrols.

Organic food is best, because it is more nutrient dense. Chemical fertilizers and pesticides can destroy nutrients in the soil, like sulfur, chromium, minerals, and probiotics, which are vital for our health.

“The Organic Center study found that organic foods were more nutritionally dense in 61% of the cases” and they “found conventional foods to contain higher nitrates, which are widely considered a potential health hazard.” (C)

Farmers Markets are one of the oldest forms of direct marketing by small farmers. The fresh, organic produce is local, in season, less expensive, fresher, and it’s fun to meet your local farmers.

With all of the fresh fruits and vegetables enticing us from their bins at the Farmers Market or grocery store, now we can make all of those delicious meals with our properly stored produce!

Bon Appétit!

The post Remedy For Constipation & Irregularity – For Your Well-being appeared first on Organic Healthy Life - Nancy Addison - Nutrition.

]]> Recently I had someone ask me about constipation. He said, “I have had terrible constipation and I can’t seem to get it resolved.
Please give me some advice.”

So,  my answer is: This is a very important subject to address.

If your body is not eliminating wastes efficiently after each meal, there may be some blockage in the intestinal tract. This can be a serious health problem which should be addressed immediately. I feel most health problems are a result of the blockages in the intestinal tract.

Anyone who has been a consumer of processed foods, fried foods, trans fats, or meat may have blockages, plaque, or debris lodged in the colon. After years and years of eating meals that have not been completely digested or moved out of the body, layers and layers of waste have possibly built up in the intestinal tract.

The intestinal tract is where you are supposed to absorb most of your nutrition, and it’s where a major part of the immune system resides. If this is blocked up, the immune system is not able to work effectively and you may not be able to absorb the nutrition you need.

Natalia Rose, a New York clinical nutritionist, says that if you wake up in the morning, have a bowel movement, pull in your gut, and it is almost to your spine, then you have an empty and clean intestine. If you cannot do this, then your intestines are full of undigested waste stuck in the tissues like cement.

Master colon therapist Gil Jacobs explains that a laxative will do nothing for the normal person who is eating fairly well, except release the very newest waste, and then drive the older waste deeper into the tissue and make it harder to remove. The laxative will irritate the bowels.

Both Gil Jacobs and Natalia Rose believe in colonic cleansing, and they recommend the gravity method. The client reclines in a large chair, and a small quantity of warm water is very slowly introduced into the colon by a narrow tube. Then the water (and hopefully some built up waste) runs out of the colon, being released through a tube and directly into the plumbing. The hydrotherapist answers questions, guiding or assisting whenever needed.

Having a colonic is actually very easy. The water cleanses the walls of the intestine. Each time a colonic is done, another layer of plaque or waste can be washed out of the lining of the colon.

People sometimes say, “I got a colonoscopy, and they said my colon is fine.”

I feel I need to address a few differences between what I consider a healthy method called a colonics and a medical procedure called a colonoscopy.

A colonoscopy doesn’t clean out the colon. It doesn’t pull out the toxins or plaque embedded in the lining of the intestines. It is like a bullet going through the barrel of a gun.

In fact, there are risks and dangers with getting a colonoscopy.

Did you know it is IMPOSSIBLE to completely sterilize a colonoscope?

Colonoscopies destroy the bacterial flora that balance the microorganisms in your colon. The average colon in a human body, contains 3 – 4 pounds of bacteria, most of which consists of good, healthy bacteria. The colonoscopy preparation procedure actually strips your colon of all of its good, protective bacteria.

1 in every 350 colonoscopies end up doing serious harm. The death rate is about 1 for every 1,000 procedures. With 15 million colonoscopies being done each year in the U.S., that means about 15,000 Americans die as a result of this routine procedure.

Constipation, Irregularity, intestinal integrity, Gut Health, And Well-being, by Nancy Addison, organic healthy life

Getting back to the subject of being constipated and the numerous health problems that can arise from that situation, I see a colonic as a safer and healthier method to remedy that situation quickly and more effectively than pharmaceutical drugs or laxatives.

A colonic actually washes out the debris, plaque, and whatever else is stuck in the layers of the intestinal wall.

Colonics are recommended for people with a high degree of inflammation, constipation, and/or plaque in their colon. Some people find it so useful that they continue to do it once a month or more just to stay clean.

Gil and Natalia say that a person who grew up eating a standard American diet of bread, meat, trans fats, sugar, and junk food could get a colonic every week for the rest of his or her life, and still not have one-hundred percent of the waste completely removed from the colon. But the more waste that is removed, the healthier you will be.

Dr. Ed Group states that a colonic only cleans out the large intestines, where as the small intestines is the most important part to clean out. He recommends the Oxypowder, which is a formulation by Nikola Tesla and it is sold by Global Healing. You can listen to Dr. Group here on my weekly podcast in July 2024. I will say, I have recommended it to many of my clients who struggle with this situation and it has worked quickly and gotten them regular and in much better health easily.

One thing I highly recommend for daily health and also for constipation relief, is drinking a large glass of warm mineral-rich water every morning as soon as you get up, before doing anything else. This will help hydrate you and assist moving any toxins and waste out of the body.

An important subject to note, is that a raw food diet will awaken the body and help get waste out. The raw food is more likely to be completely or close to completely digested. Your body will start to cleanse itself of toxins because of the antioxidant-rich food and fiber.

When the colon and the rest of the intestinal tract are cleaned up and running free and clear, the whole body will start to work in harmony.

Many people will find that their joint problems, headaches, back aches, skin problems, and hair problems simply disappear when they finally get their colon and intestines clean and oxygenated.

Natalia Rose also recommends enemas as another way to remove waste from the bowels. They can work well and get waste to come out of the tissues.

Additionally, Gil and Natalia recommend putting a small step stool in front of the toilet. If you put your feet on the small stool when using the toilet, your intestinal tract has a better curve, making it much easier to move waste through the tract.

Also, recently I learned about Oxypowder – a supplement developed by Nikola Tesla, of a specific type of magnesium formulation, that Tesla’s personal assistant gave to Dr. Ed Group. Dr. Group worked on it and make Oxypowder. I have found it to be incredibly helpful for my clients who were struggling with constipation. It is incredibly effective and healthy. Here is a link for Global Healing, Dr. Ed Group’s company that makes it.

In conclusion, keep your intestinal tract and colon clean and your whole body will operate more effectively, and your health will benefit in many ways.

]]>

Sometimes I just feel like having something crunchy, salty, and savory! Growing up in Texas meant having a true appreciation for Mexican food and Tex-Mex food.

When I became a vegetarian, it became a little more challenging. Many chips, salsas, and beans have meat broth added to the food, so I started making my own beans and salsas.

This recipe can be vegetarian and gluten-free, depending on the choice of chips, and is highly nutritious, with a good amount of healthy protein.

When you look for whole-grain chips, remember that blue corn has 20 percent more protein and eight percent less starch than yellow corn. Colorful food is usually healthier than the less-colorful variety. There is a wonderful variety of healthier, sprouted, multi-grain chips today for you to choose from, including the brand Late July. (My favorites are the blue corn and the sweet potato tortilla chips.)

I make my beans and rice ahead of time and put the salad together when I am ready to serve it.

This is a good dish to serve to vegetarian guests. I also like to put this together and take it to work for lunch. Just don’t forget to take a fork!

Ingredients:

21⁄2–3 c. black beans, cooked (click here for the recipe)
21⁄2–3 c. whole-grain brown rice, cooked (Click here for the recipe)
1 head romaine lettuce or other leafy greens
1 bunch cilantro, chopped
1 tomato, chopped
1 pack whole-grain, organic tortilla chips

Directions:

1. You may want to assemble the salad on individual serving plates, so each serving has a beautiful presentation.

2. Have black beans and rice warm and ready; set aside.

3. Tear lettuce into small, bite-sized pieces and put in bowl.

4. Place rice on top of lettuce.

5. Add black beans.

6. Sprinkle cilantro and tomato on top.

7. Crumble tortilla chips over top.

Notes:

1. Use warm rice and beans.

2. Use this recipe as a guide. You can add sliced avocado, cucumber, and other vegetables you like to this salad.

The post Whole-Grain, Sprouted, Cooked Rice Recipe – Gluten-free appeared first on Organic Healthy Life - Nancy Addison - Nutrition.

]]> This is a delicious rice recipe that I make frequently. I start the recipe a day or two ahead of when I wish to serve the rice, because I sprout all my organic, whole-grain rice. Sprouting rice, grains, seeds, lentils, and beans removes the phytic acid. This removes the enzyme inhibitors and makes them more digestible. I add coconut oil, ghee, and mineral-rich salt to add more richness and flavor to a basic rice dish. This recipe yields approximately six 1-cup servings.

Ingredients:

2 c. whole, sprouted-grain brown basmati rice

4 c. non-chlorinated water

½  tsp. mineral-rich salt

1 T. extra virgin, pure coconut oil

1–2 T. ghee (optional)

 

Directions:

1. Use sprouted whole-grain rice or if your rice is not already sprouted, this is what to do.
Soak the rice for 12 to 16 hours or overnight in pure water to sprout it, then pour off the water and get fresh water to cook it in.

2. After soaking for 12 to 16 hours, you rinse the rice thoroughly in a small-weave sieve until water runs clear.
Set aside.

3. Bring water to a boil in a large pot. Add the sprouted rice, mineral-rich salt, coconut oil, and let boil for a couple of minutes while stirring.

4. Reduce heat to a simmer.

5. Cover pot tightly and do not disturb for 35 to 40 minutes. Do not stir.

6. When it looks as if all the water is absorbed, (a clear lid on the pot is helpful), the rice is ready.

7. Let rice sit in the pot (off the heat) for five minutes. Fluff rice with a fork.

8. Add ghee, if using, and stir gently.

9. Gently scoop out the rice and serve warm.

Notes:

  1. A rice cooker is an easy way to make rice quickly and perfectly every time.

  2. Long-grain rice is fluffier, whereas medium-grain is a little moister.

]]> It’s spring in the northern hemisphere and leafy greens are currently flourishing in many gardens. Dark leafy greens are among the healthiest foods, because the rich/deep green color indicates a high level of antioxidants. The dark color pigments of fruits and vegetables are the antioxidants!

According to the Cleveland Clinic, the pigments are called carotenoids. “Carotenoids are pigments that give fruits and veggies their color and are antioxidants that protect your cells from free radicals. These powerful antioxidants help protect your immune system and your vision.”

I am a salad aficionado, and I thought I would share some of my favorite salad dressing recipes with you in this “recipe of the month” newsletter.

To make a salad healthier and more interesting, I like to add some nutritious raisins, cranberries, various fresh sprouts, or sprouted pumpkin and sunflower seeds, as well as sprouted nuts (like cashews or pecans) to my salad.

When my son was young, he did not like salads. When I started adding slices of orange or tangerine to the salads, he started eating them eagerly! I was thrilled! My daughter-in-law puts raspberries and other berries in their salads and my son and grandchildren just love them.

I have searched extensively at the grocery store for organic salad dressings without preservatives, canola oil, or GMO ingredients, but they are simply not easy to find.

When I make my own homemade dressings, I know they are organic, and without preservatives, chemical additives, canola oil, artificial substances, sugar, or GMO ingredients.

Oil and vinegar dressing is always delicious, and it’s a French basic, which has become a beloved recipe.

Homemade vinaigrette can be stored in an airtight container for up to 1 to 2 weeks in the refrigerator. Because of that, I feel it’s worth the few minutes it takes to mix it up by hand.

Traditional French vinaigrette recipes call for 1 tablespoon vinegar (like Balsamic vinegar, which adds just a touch of sweetness, or red wine vinegar) for every 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil. In addition to that combination, I love to add a dash of unprocessed, raw, probiotic-rich apple cider vinegar to mine for the additional health benefits. I also add a tiny bit of organic Dijon mustard to the mixture, which adds just a hint of creaminess and flavor.

I love garlic, and it’s incredible what it can do for our health, especially when we eat it fresh. Fresh garlic is packed with antioxidants and essential vitamins and minerals, such as Vitamin C, Vitamin B6, and manganese.

When fresh garlic is chopped or cut, it activates an enzyme called alliinase. When the alliinase is left to rest for 10 to 15 minutes, it converts into alliin (an organosulfur compound) that has antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and cardioprotective properties.

Because of the extraordinary health benefits of fresh garlic, I add a bit of freshly minced garlic to this mixture, creating a rich, health benefiting dressing.

This vinaigrette dressing is a wonderful dressing to use on stronger flavored leafy greens, like kale, or dandelion, arugula, or spinach. You may choose to leave out the mustard and/or garlic if the salad consists of very light, mild-flavored leafy greens.

Nancy’s Vinaigrette

This classic dressing is delicious.

I encourage you to make this ahead of time, so the dressing flavors can meld together before you add them to the salad. This recipe makes ½ cup.

Ingredients:

6 to 7 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar (or you can use red or white wine vinegar)

½ tsp. raw, unpasteurized apple cider vinegar

1/4 teaspoon fine pink mineral-rich salt

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 clove finely minced or chopped garlic

Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions:

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the garlic, vinegar, and 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt. Let the mixture stand 10 minutes.

2. Next, whisk in the mustard.

3. Then add the oil in a very slow, thin, steady stream, whisking constantly until the dressing is emulsified.

4. Season with the remaining fine pink salt and freshly ground black pepper.

The next two salad dressing recipes need to be combined in a blender, and they take a little more time, but they add a depth of flavor and creamy richness to the salads, and I love them.

These salad dressings will keep refrigerated for 2 days.

All are 2 servings.

Note: Serve over a variety of greens and/or chopped-up vegetables. Some examples of good nutritious greens are: green lettuces, baby spinach, baby kale, watercress, and red leaf lettuce.

Cucumber Dressing

This was one of Larry Hagman’s favorites when I was his chef/nutritionist.

Ingredients:

1 cucumber (chopped into chunks with skin)

1 avocado (peeled, pitted and diced)

1 -2 tsp. unpasteurized apple cider vinegar.

¼ tsp. unrefined sea salt

Directions:

1. Blend all ingredients in a blender until smooth.

2. You can store this dressing in the refrigerator in a glass jar with a tight lid for a day or two..

Creamy Avocado Dressing

This is a rich, creamy dressing.

Ingredients:

1 avocado

1 clove garlic, freshly minced

1/2 cucumber, chopped

1/4 tsp. unrefined, pink salt

1/2 cup extra-virgin, organic olive oil

1 T. lime or lemon juice (fresh)

¼ tsp. raw, unpasteurized apple cider vinegar

Directions:

1. Combine avocado, garlic, cucumber, lime or lemon juice, vinegar, and salt in a blender until creamy.

2. Add olive oil in a slow, steady stream into the blender on low.
It will create a creamy salad dressing.

Variation:

Substitute balsamic vinegar for lemon juice

Summer is a wonderful time of the year, and we want to enjoy it to the fullest. In order to do this, we should be careful to avoid poison ivy, poison oak, bug bites, jellyfish stings, or getting sunburned.

Here are a few natural remedies that may help you have a smooth sailing summer of fun!

While summer is the optimal time for showing off toned skin, shorts, and swim suit attire, it’s the absolute worst for bug bites, sunburns, and itchy rashes.

Whether it is a mosquito or beach flea, some of these bites can be downright painful. They can also itch so much, that you almost want to scratch the skin off, which can create scars and wounds.

Stop skin blunders from ruining the way you feel or look with any of the following natural skin relief supplements and treatments.

Take Vitamin B Complex daily. My friend Jane and I got bitten by some type of tiny bugs in Florida. We found out from the locals, that if you take a daily dose of Vitamin B Complex, that they won’t bite you. We tried it and it works! So, make certain to always take your Vitamin B Complex daily to help avoid bug-bites. I don’t know if this works for all bugs, but it certainly won’t hurt taking it and if it helps, then that is wonderful!

Mosquitoes don’t normally bite through loose-fitting clothing, so this is another good preventative measure. Mosquitoes are attracted to dark colors, while wasps and bees are attracted to light, bright, floral colors.

Non-Toxic, Anti-Bug-Bite Recipe

A bug-bite deterrent that is easy to make yourself is made from a blend of one or more of the following ingredients.
Choose one or two of these organic essential oils (2 tsp. total oil): Lavender essential oil
Rosemary essential oil
Juniper essential oil
Lemon essential oil
1 cup of either: alcohol or pure water. (Use 180 proof grain alcohol that you can buy at a liquor store).

Directions:
Combine a total of 2 tsp. of essential oil with 1 cup of 180 proof grain alcohol.
Place it in a bottle with a tight-fitting lid. (You can also put it in a spray bottle to easily spray on your skin before going outdoors.) Shake well.
Test it on a small patch of skin first to make sure you are not sensitive to the oil and alcohol. If you are alright with the test, use it on your skin to avoid bites.

If you are already bitten and you are itching and wanting to scratch the pain away, here are a few remedies.

1. Rub aloe vera (either freshly cut or from a bottle) on bites and stings to ease burning.
2. Get relief from itches by applying a few drops of lavender oil or tea tree oil to the affected area as needed.

Extreme Itching

Recently I was bitten by some kind of small bug in Florida. I was absolutely miserable. I thought the itching was never going to stop. I was not sure where I received the bites, or if they were even all the same type of bug bite. It seemed to get worse a few days later and it wasn’t stopping. I was overwhelmed with the itching.

I use food-grade hydrogen peroxide (35%) on all of these hurtful bites, whatever they are. I dab the food-grade hydrogen peroxide on the itching spots with a cotton swab or a cotton ball.

This solution will oxygenate the bite or itchy spot and kill any parasite that may be inside the skin, and also oxygenate and destroy any infection in the bite.

Putting the food-grade hydrogen peroxide on the skin where you are itching can hurt a lot, so I would apply the hydrogen peroxide in the bathroom, immediately before getting into the shower to scrub with soap (like a tea tree oil soap) and a body brush. It is very effective and can stop the extreme itching quickly.

You may need to do this each day, until you are sure it has stopped the itch, killed the parasite, or stopped the infection. With much relief, you can be on the road to healing.

I order my food-grade hydrogen peroxide through the internet,
but there are stores that do sell it. The food grade is purer and much stronger than the 3% we normally buy at the pharmacy.
I order 12% and 35% food-grade hydrogen peroxide, and I keep it in my refrigerator (or freezer) at all times, because it is supposed to stay stronger and more potent, longer.

You will need to be very careful when handling this, and keep it out of the reach of children. You may want to use normal over-the-counter (3% grade) hydrogen peroxide, but the food-grade is much stronger (35%) and purer, and I prefer it. You can water it down a bit, if it’s too strong for you.

I love using food-grade hydrogen peroxide for many things. The Global Healing Center has an excellent article on it’s many holistic healing methods of use. https://explore.globalhealing.com/food-grade-hydrogen-peroxide/

The brand I just purchased is from the website Into The Garden Of Eden. Keep it well labeled and in a cool, dark place, so it maintains it’s strength longer.

Bone Alignment

Another thing to know is that if the backbone is out of alignment, it can cause extreme itching. If the atlas bone at the top of the spine is out of alignment, that can cause extreme itching in the upper arms. (Just on a side note, if the atlas bone is out of alignment, that can also be misdiagnosed as a stroke in elderly people and MS in younger people.)

I personally go regularly to my chiropractor to maintain my alignment. My chiropractor, Dr. Michael Hall, is also a neurologist, and he has treated me on a regular basis for over 18 years. Chiropractors all have different techniques, so find one that is best for you.

Poison Ivy or Poison Oak

Once I went with my husband to hike in the woods with our dog. Our dog was running around in the woods and got poison ivy on his fur. I was petting him and brushing off the sticker burrs, and unknowingly got the poison ivy from his fur.

I used tea tree oil on the poison ivy and it was almost gone the next day. I used tea tree oil shampoo on the dog also.

A few years later, one of our house remodeling contractors had a terrible case of poison ivy. He had used cortisone, medicines from the doctor, and everything he could think of for more than four months. He was absolutely miserable. I gave him my tea tree oil to try. The next day, he came back absolutely astounded at how well it had worked. His poison ivy was gone in a matter of days.

I have found that putting food-grade hydrogen peroxide on first, then washing it with soap and water, and then putting on the tea tree oil, is even more effective. This combination of food-grade hydrogen peroxide followed by tea tree oil also works extremely well for poison oak and fire ant bites as well. I use this combination of hydrogen peroxide followed by the tea tree oil on any itchy place, bite, or rash. It is especially good for bites that have a fluid in them.

Tea tree oil has antibacterial properties. It is not supposed to be used on an open wound. I used it on a large swollen bite my son had on his back. It was the middle of the night and we were staying in a remote hotel built into the side of a mountain in Greece, with no medical care nearby. I didn’t know what to do, so I kept putting tea tree oil on it. The following day, the swelling had gone down to half, and by the next day, it was almost completely gone. We were so thankful.

Another use for tea tree oil is for chicken pox. My son got chicken pox when he was four. He is a redhead and has very sensitive skin. I put tea tree oil directly on each spot all over his body. I thought it would help him not to itch or scratch. In the morning, his chicken pox outbreak was gone, with no scars, no itching, and no complications. It was amazing. His doctor was completely astonished, as was his preschool teacher. I have used it on just about everything ever since. In my opinion, the New Zealand variety of tea tree oil smells better than the Australian type, but both work really well.

You can also use aloe vera leaf gel on the rash to soothe and promote healing.

Baths

Organic oatmeal baths are very soothing and calming, as well as encouraging the healing of any skin irritations. Use 1/2 to 1 cup raw uncooked organic oatmeal in the bath, and soak for about 20 minutes.

Wheat grass juice baths and bentonite clay baths are also both helpful to detoxify the skin and heal irritations. You can get wheat grass powder and bentonite clay powder for baths at the health food store. Just follow the directions on the package.

Jelly Fish Stings

If you go to the beach and get a jellyfish sting, it can really hurt.
If you have a lemon or lime, rub the cut fruit on the place that hurts. The citrus can help take the pain out. (An out of the ordinary remedy that also works, would be to use urine on the sting.)

Natural Sun Protection

I personally do not wear sunscreen and I don’t recommend it at all. Sunscreens reportedly reduce Vitamin D3 levels in the blood by up to 99 percent.(1)

What do you do about preventing sunburn if you need to be outside for long periods of time? Stay in the shade when you can, and wear protective clothing and a hat. According to Dr. Elizabeth Plourde, sunscreens have carcinogenic ingredients and hormone disrupters that should be avoided: oxtinoxate, octisalate, oxybenzone, homosalate, avobenzone, and retinyl palmitate (a form of Vitamin A).

Check all sunscreens for these ingredients. They absorb easily through the skin and are toxic when combined with sun exposure.

Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide have been called safe, and reportedly do not penetrate the skin. But, Dr. Plourde said that her research shows her that none of them are safe. Micronized metals will penetrate the skin and enter the blood stream, resulting in cancer and tumors.

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is a known carcinogen. Dr. Elizabeth Plourde, in her research paper “Exposing the Hazards of Sunscreen,” says there is concern that “sunscreen chemicals should be examined in relation to rising autism rates.”(2)

In her work, she states that “Sunscreens are endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDC’s) or TiO2 or ZnO nanoparticles. Current research shows these are toxic to all life.”(3) To learn more, you can read Dr. Plourde’s book “Sunscreens – Biohazard: Treat As Hazardous Waste.“

Drinking carrot juice, and eating carrots, sweet potatoes, or tomato sauce is a natural way to protect yourself from too much sun during the summer. The beta-carotene and lycopene in these vegetables gives the body some natural sun protection.

You can also wear thick clothing that covers your skin but doesn’t contain chemicals. Clothing treated with chemicals such as titanium or zinc oxide will break down in the wash, enter the water supply, and create hazards to the ecosystem.

I am using the night-time cream by a new technology company. The company also makes an Alavida patch for the sun. The company discovered in one of their clinical trials, that this night-time Alavida cream is very good for sunburn.

These non-transdermal patches are embedded with crystals and don’t have any kind of drug in them. They work off the body’s infrared heat and work on the meridians like acupucture does. I absolutely love them.

The main patch, which activates the body’s GHK-cu copper peptide are extremely helpful for helping heal wounds, alleviating pain, and for overall health and well-being. (If you want to order them, please use my Referral Number 1439757 as your referral and my link will say “nancyaddison”. Text or email me 214-202-9243 or nancyalisa@protonmail.com to find out more.)

So, whenever you are outside, get some natural Vitamin D, put on some natural bug protection, wear natural clothing to protect yourself from too much sun, eat beta-carotene-rich foods, and get into the shade if you feel you have been out too long.

Enjoy your sunshine, nature, exercise, and fresh air!

I hope these healthy tips help make your outdoor adventures safer and more enjoyable!

This is an easy, delicious, and refreshing soup to serve cool, on a warm summer day. I have frequently served this to guests when they arrive at my home!

Cucumbers are especially good because they contain a “hormone needed by the beta cells of the pancreas to produce insulin. The enzyme crepsin in cucumbers is targeted toward breaking down excessive protein in the kidneys.” (1) Cucumbers have an amazing amount of nutrients in them. They can be used extensively in a healthy and healing eating plan!

Ingredients

1 Avocado (peeled and the seed removed)

1 Cucumber ( I cut into chunks, but leave the skin on)

4 T. Dill weed ( fresh is best, but dried works also)

2 teaspoons Lime or Lemon juice

½ teaspoon Mineral-rich, pink Salt

¼ cup Pure, Mineral-rich Water

Directions

1. Blend in blender until smooth and creamy. (If it is too thick, add some more water.)

Notes:

1. Remember to buy organic and non-GMO foods, if possible.

Remember, the main ingredient is always love!

The post Refined Carbohydrates Versus Whole Sprouted Grains appeared first on Organic Healthy Life - Nancy Addison - Nutrition.

]]> Carbohydrates have a reputation for being unhealthy. However, it is only the type of carbohydrate that is unhealthy. Carbohydrates are actually the body’s preferred fuel. Unrefined carbohydrates like legumes, whole grains, and vegetables are dense in nutrients and fiber, and they can give your body the fuel it needs.

Refined carbohydrates like white, refined flour, pasta, and bakery goods have no or little fiber and are (for the majority) nutrient-empty.

There is a difference in the way refined carbohydrates and unrefined carbohydrates are converted into glucose by the body. Refined carbohydrates are converted to glucose quickly, which causes blood sugar to spike. This makes the body work hard to get the blood sugar level under control. It puts pressure on the pancreas to make and release insulin, which works “like a key to open the door of the cells so glucose. . . can come inside and be converted into energy.”[i]

If too many refined carbohydrates are eaten on a continual basis, driving up blood sugar levels, this will stress the pancreas and eventually it will have trouble making insulin. This can result in diabetes.

The body stores excess glucose in the muscle to use later, but if the muscle is fully saturated, as a result of this, the body will also turn the excess glucose into fat. This can result in weight gain and obesity. Carrying too much fat can lead to glucose intolerance. The body will start ignoring the signal to take glucose from the blood.

To process nutrient-empty, refined food, the body must pull nutrients from itself. The spiking of blood sugar from refined and empty food results in cravings, because when the body is not getting the nutrients it needs, it will start begging for nutrients.

On the other hand, feeding the body with nutrient-dense food gives it what it needs, and there shouldn’t be any cravings.

Because unrefined carbohydrates are fiber-rich, they take longer to digest. This means they do not put additional pressure on the pancreas to produce insulin in an unhealthy way. Unrefined carbohydrates, such as whole grains, should be a major part of a well-balanced diet.

Packaging can be very deceiving and misleading. When looking at a package that says “whole wheat” or “whole-grain,” read the ingredient list and make sure it says “whole” before every grain listed. If the ingredient list contains just the name of the grain, then it is not whole-grain.

My research shows me that it is much better for our health to consume sprouted grains in place of simply eating the whole grains. So, I always look for organic, “sprouted” whole-grain breads, like Ezekiel or Alvarado Bakery breads when I am buying breads at the grocery store.

According to Secinaro, for Harvard Health, Sprouted grains have many health benefits. According to her, “This germinating process breaks down some of the starch, which makes the percentage of nutrients higher. It also breaks down phytate, a form of phytic acid that normally decreases absorption of vitamins and minerals in the body. So sprouted grains have more available nutrients than mature grains,” Secinaro says. Those nutrients include folate, iron, vitamin C, zinc, magnesium, and protein. Sprouted grains also may have less starch and be easier to digest than regular grains. “It may help people who are sensitive to digesting grains.”

I believe that sprouting the whole grains or seeds, that this helps people digest the grains or breads more effectively and with less digestion issues, like gas or bloating.

If you are buying gluten-free products, make sure they are sprouted and whole-grain, and check the sugar content. I have found that even in the seemingly healthiest packages at the “healthy grocery stores,” the gluten-free foods are alarmingly high in sugar. It is extremely important to find ones that are low in added sugar.

It’s all about quality!

In closing, I recommend looking for breads with low sugar content, avoiding breads with canola oil, vegetable oils (like soy, corn, or cotton seed oils), and enjoying the organic, sprouted, whole-grain carbohydrate-types of foods in moderation, and they can benefit your health!

Bon Appetit!

]]> Protein is made up of amino acids, which are crucial for building and maintaining cells and tissues. The body uses amino acids to make hemoglobin and insulin. Protein is also essential for maintaining healthy sugar levels in the blood, especially when eating carbohydrates.

Yet ideas about how much and what type of protein we need have changed over time. Even today, experts’ opinions vary. What is important is that you make the right diet choices for your individual needs. Let’s look at all the research to date.

At the beginning of the twentieth century, Russell Henry Chittenden, the father of biochemistry, was disturbed that physicians were recommending high-protein diets of 135 grams a day. He thought this was wrong and set out to test this dietary theory. Chittenden began by doing a study on himself using a low-protein diet. He lost weight, had more energy, got rid of his arthritic joint pain, and was, in his opinion, healthier than he had been on a high-protein diet.

He began testing colleagues, students, and athletes at Yale. On the low-protein diet, they all had more energy, felt better, and actually increased their performance ability by more than 35 percent. In 1904, Chittenden concluded that “35–50 grams of protein a day was adequate for adults, and individuals could maintain their health and fitness on this amount. Studies over the past century have consistently confirmed Professor Chittenden’s findings.”(1) The current recommended daily allowance of protein for adults is 46–56 grams per day. (2)

Some studies say that the amount and type of protein a person should eat depends upon his or her blood type. Dr. Peter J. D’Adamo and Catherine Whitney’s book Eat Right 4 Your Type looks at the connection between blood type, diet, and health.

My blood type is O, as is my daughter’s. The book says that “O blood types are meant to thrive best on a high protein (red meat) and low carbohydrate diet.” (3) I have been vegetarian for 35 years, and so has my daughter. We do extremely well on a healthy vegetarian diet, but we do make sure we consume enough protein-rich organic, sprouted, plant-based foods like beans, lentils, nuts, seeds, whole-grain rice, and quinoa, and have a good amount of healthy fats in our diet.

The authors say that A blood types are supposed to be vegetarian (high carbohydrate and low fat); B blood types should eat dairy, meat, fish, grains, vegetables, and fruit; and AB blood types should consume mostly vegetarian food, with moderate meat and dairy. In the book, the authors list various foods that are good, better, best, or worst for each blood type. (4) It is up to you to decide if this theory is right for you.

Many athletes today are filling their bodies with protein-rich food, thinking it will make them stronger and their muscles bigger. According to the Vegetarian Resource Group: Athletes used to eat thick steaks before competition because they thought it would improve their performance. Protein supplements are sold at health food stores. This concern about protein is misplaced. Although protein is certainly an essential nutrient which plays many key roles in the way our bodies function, we do not need huge quantities of it. In reality, we need small amounts of protein. Only one calorie out of every ten we take in needs to come from protein. Athletes do not need much more protein than the general public. (5)

This is backed up in an AARP article by tennis athlete Martina Navratilova, who says: On days that I work out, I’ll have a little protein with some carbs after exercising. This combo speeds up the manufacture of new glycogen (the carbohydrate that is stored in muscle and supplies energy) and elevates key hormones in the body that are involved in muscle repair and growth. In addition, the snack amplifies the fuel I get from carbs. (6)

This fits in with what I have read from other top athletes like Brendan Brazier, two-time Canadian 50K ultramarathon champion. He thinks recovery time from working out is really the most critical factor for success as an athlete, rather than protein intake. He lives and thrives on a 100 percent plant-based diet.

Many vegetarian proteins are a combination of carbohydrates and protein.

Our bodies are all different, and our heritages, environments, and our blood types are all different. You need to find what works best for you.

There are several myths about protein. For instance, in the 1971 book Diet for a Small Planet, Frances Moore Lappé wrote that plants contained “incomplete proteins” with inadequate amounts of specific essential amino acids for them to meet the dietary needs of people. She emphasized the need to combine vegetable-based foods to obtain the complete amino acid complexes needed for optimum health when choosing not to consume animal protein.

However, according to Dr. John McDougall, Lappé did not understand the scientific research on human protein needs and the sufficiency of plant-based foods. Dr. McDougall says that plant combining “is unnecessary and implies that it is difficult to obtain ‘complete’ proteins from vegetables without detailed nutritional knowledge. Because of her complicated and incorrect ideas, people are frightened away from plant-based diets.” (7)

Thankfully such myths are slowly but surely being dismissed as untrue. The American Dietetic Association (ADA) revised its position statement on vegetarian diets, and now agrees that well-planned vegetarian diets are “a healthy, nutritionally adequate dietary practice for all stages of life.”

In addition to this, according to Mladen Golubic, MD, PhD of The Cleveland Heart Clinic: The more protein—especially animal protein—one eats, the higher the risk of different chronic diseases. (8)

For example, in a recent study of more than 6,000 people in the best nationally representative dietary survey in the United States, those between 50 and 65 years old who reported high protein intake had a 75 percent increase in dying from any cause, a four-fold increase in cancer death risk during the following 18 years, and a five-fold increase in death from diabetes. Those with moderate intake had increased cancer death risk three-fold when compared with the low protein intake group!

It is important to note that these associations were either abolished or attenuated if the proteins were plant derived.

The composition of amino acids, building blocks of protein, derived from animals is different than from plant proteins. What we need are amino acids, not the proteins themselves. As for the amount of protein we eat, it is not practical or very accurate to measure that on a daily basis. 0.8 g/kg is generous. According to the World Health Organization, 0.5 g/kg is adequate for good health.

Make sure you get enough calories from unprocessed whole foods of plant origin, and you will be getting enough protein.

You should eat a variety of legumes (beans of any type, shape, or color, including lentils, and peas), and 100 percent whole-grain products and vegetables. Do not worry about getting enough proteins. If you get enough calories from these whole foods, you are getting enough protein.

As for other nutrition, there is not a single nutrient (with the possible exception of Vitamin B12) that you cannot get from plants. In fact, meat or fish do not have any dietary fiber, and only minuscule amounts of beneficial compounds that are not technically essential nutrients. However, these essential nutrients are richly present in plants and seem quite beneficial for human health. (9)

Dr. Andrew Weil, a prominent expert in the health field, also addressed this subject: “You may have heard that vegetable sources of protein are incomplete and become complete only when correctly combined. Research has discredited that notion, so you don’t have to worry that you won’t get enough usable protein if you don’t put together some magical combination of foods at each meal.”

“Whether or not you’re a vegetarian, I recommend that you divide your daily calories as follows: 40–50 percent from carbohydrates (including vegetables, fruit, whole grains, starchy roots and tubers, and legumes), 30 percent from fat, and 20–30 percent from protein, which amounts to between 100 and 150 grams on a 2,000 calorie-a-day diet.” (10)

Dr. Weil, then, actually recommends more protein than Dr. Chittenden. Take into account that Dr. Chittenden was probably using “meat” protein as a good portion of his diet study. So, the type of protein may vary from person to person. In my opinion, you have to decide what type and amount of protein works best for you.

Dennis Gordon, MEd, RD, voices the same opinion as Dr. Weil and Dr. McDougall. In the article “Vegetable Proteins Can Stand Alone,” Gordon wrote:

Complementing proteins is not necessary with vegetable proteins. The myth that vegetable source proteins need to be complemented is similar to the myths that persist about sugar making one’s blood glucose go up faster than starch does. These myths have great staying power despite there being no evidence to support them and plenty to refute them.

Dietitian Dr. Reed Mangels, PhD, RD, also has spoken about protein combining: “It is very easy for a vegan diet to meet the recommendations for protein, as long as calorie intake is adequate. Strict protein combining is not necessary. It is more important to eat a varied diet throughout the day… The RDA recommends that we take in 0.8 grams of protein for every kilogram that we weigh (or about 0.36 grams of protein per pound that we weigh). . .

This recommendation includes a generous safety factor for most people… To meet protein recommendations, the typical adult male vegan needs only 2.5 to 2.9 grams of protein per 100 calories and the typical adult female vegan needs only 2.1 to 2.4 grams of protein per 100 calories. These recommendations can be easily met from plant-based sources.” (11)

Protein myths have been around for almost a century, but beans, seeds, leafy greens, legumes, grains, eggs, and dairy are all sources of protein. In fact, leafy greens are among the best sources of protein. For example, 45 percent of spinach is protein.

Nuts and Seeds

Nuts and seeds are perfect foods because they are a combination of protein, fat, and carbohydrate.

They contain delicate polyunsaturated fatty acids that can become rancid shortly after being shelled, so store them in a tightly sealed container (preferably glass) in the refrigerator. Nuts that come from tropical climates can contain high levels of fungal mycotoxins, which result from improper storage.

Almost all nuts and seeds also contain certain compounds that include enzyme inhibitors and phytic acid, which can prevent the body from absorbing some nutrients. To help diminish the phytic acid and enzyme inhibitors, and to make them more digestible, place them in a glass or steel bowl and soak them for 12–18 hours in non-chlorinated water and a little bit of whole sea salt. If desired, you can dehydrate or roast them in the oven at a low temperature. Eat them within a few days. When buying nuts and seeds, look for products that are sprouted or have been soaked.

Pine nuts (pignoli) are nature’s only source of pinolenic acid, which helps diminish your appetite. They have the highest concentration of oleic acid, a monounsaturated fat that aids the liver in eliminating harmful triglycerides from our body, which helps protect our heart. Pine nuts are also packed with 3 mg of iron per one-ounce serving and are rich in Vitamin B1 and Vitamin B3, manganese, copper, magnesium, molybdenum, and zinc, as well as being a source of Vitamin B2, Vitamin E, and potassium.

There are more than 29 varieties of pine nuts. Most of the pine nuts in US grocery stores are from trees grown in China, Mexico, and Korea. All pine nuts are nutritious, but the most nutrient-dense are Mediterranean pine nuts, which come from the Stone Pine (Pinus pinea, or Umbrella Pine) native to Portugal, Spain, and Italy.

Mediterranean pine nuts are lower in calories, have a great ratio of Omega 3 to Omega 6 essential fatty acids, have a higher level of phytosterols, and have a greater protein content than other varieties of pine nut.

Pine nuts are wonderful to have as a snack or add to a meat substitute, protein drink, or smoothie.

Hemp seeds are actually nuts. They contain significant amounts of Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids, as well as protein. They also contain significant amounts of Vitamin E, which is important for the thyroid gland. Hemp seeds are seen as an excellent food source because of their great combination of high-quality oil, or good fat (44 percent), protein (33 percent), and fiber (12 percent).

Hemp protein contains all of the complex amino acid proteins, and is extremely similar to the type of protein in animal foods. It has a wonderful digestibility and appears to be free of the anti-nutrients found in soy. Hemp seeds deliver a good source of readily absorbable, nutrient-dense protein that can be readily utilized by the body. (12)

Almonds are actually seeds. They are a powerhouse of nutrients, including manganese, magnesium, copper, Vitamin B2, and phosphorus, and are a great source of protein and fiber. One quarter cup of almonds has 12 grams of protein. That is more than twice the amount of protein in one egg. However, almonds contain 1,800 more Omega 6 fatty acids than Omega 3 fatty acids. This can seriously throw off the balance of Omega 3 to Omega 6 fatty acids in the body. For that reason, I use unsweetened hemp or coconut milk these days instead of almond milk.

Walnuts are especially good for the vegetarian diet. They are high in protein; they are a very good source of manganese, copper, tryptophan, and Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids; and they have a fairly good ratio of Omega 3 to Omega 6 fatty acids (four Omega 6s to one Omega 3), with only eight percent saturated fat.

Cashews are a very good source of copper, magnesium, tryptophan, and phosphorus. Copper is necessary to maintain healthy bones and connective tissues. Cashews have 117 Omega 6 fatty acids to one Omega 3, and have 12.5 percent saturated fat. I love cashews, but I try to combine them with other nuts and seeds when I eat them to help balance out the Omegas and saturated fats.

Pumpkin seeds are a good source of protein and fiber, as well as minerals, including zinc, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, copper, and manganese. Pumpkin seeds have 117 Omega 6 fatty acids to one Omega 3 and have a saturated fat content of 14 percent. Interestingly, pumpkin seeds are terrific at helping the body get rid of parasites.

I am a licensed certified wildlife rehabilitator, and I use pumpkin seeds on a regular basis when feeding the wild animals I rehabilitate. I grind the seeds and immediately add them to the animals’ food, and it is amazing to me how many tapeworms and other types of parasites come out in their bowel movements. Because of this, I use pumpkin seeds frequently, in a freshly ground form, in my own foods.

Protein Supplements

Sometimes vegetarians feel they are just not getting enough food, protein, or sustenance. They probably need concentrated nutrients from protein and carbohydrates, along with some good fat. When the body is getting a combination of protein, carbohydrates, and fat from nutrient-dense, whole food, that is full of live enzymes, the body can feel nutritionally satisfied.

Studies have shown that after an intense workout, it is helpful to replenish your glycogen by having some carbohydrates combined with some protein, which appears to support muscle. The fat tells the body how to utilize the protein and carbohydrates. When I use a meal replacement or protein powder, I add about a tablespoon of good fat to the mixture, usually coconut oil or flax seed oil, or a combination of both.

If you choose to use a protein supplement, I recommend using one that contains protein that is organic, vegan, gluten-free, raw, and whole-grain. I list a few really good certified organic protein supplements in the Resources section. Protein supplements made from sprouted seeds, nuts, whole grains, whole-grain rice, hemp seeds, legumes, peas, and beans are some of my favorites. When buying protein supplements, make sure they aren’t a mystery protein by reading the ingredient list very carefully. Anything that simply says “protein” could be ground leftovers from meat packing plants. Those leftovers can include hair, nails, hooves, and other animal parts.

Be careful which protein powders or supplements you buy. Consumer Reports tested 15 high-protein drinks and found that many contained various levels of toxic heavy metals. Here is an excerpt from the report:

“Our investigation, including tests at an outside laboratory of 15 protein drinks, a review of government documents, and interviews with health and fitness experts and consumers, found most people already get enough protein, and there are far better and cheaper ways to add more if it’s needed. Some protein drinks can even pose health risks, including exposure to potentially harmful heavy metals, if consumed frequently. All drinks in our tests had at least one sample containing one or more of the following contaminants: arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury. Those metals can have toxic effects on several organs in the body.” (13)

Again, read the ingredients carefully and buy ones that contain only organic whole vegetarian food.

Marketing for these high-protein drinks is sharp, savvy, and targeted to bodybuilders, athletes, baby boomers, and pregnant women. The advertising can say that the drinks build muscle or help shed unwanted pounds. People have the idea that if they consume more protein, their bodies will build more muscle, but lifting weights and exercising are what builds muscle.

Whey

Whey protein, a naturally occurring substance derived from milk, is considered vegetarian. Whey protein is separated from the curds in milk during the cheese-making process. It is usually refined into a powder that is commonly added to protein powders or bodybuilder protein drinks. Protein powder can be mixed with beverages such as juice.

Since whey is derived from milk and has some lactose in it, people who cannot digest lactose can have allergic reactions such as sneezing, itching, and rashes after ingesting it.

Whey protein is in many products that are widely marketed to athletes, seniors, and teenagers for many reasons including meal replacement, weight loss, and body building.

Many people consume these whey drinks or supplements without being aware they are ingesting excessive amounts of whey protein and accumulating too much protein.

Excess protein damages the body. High amounts of protein, specifically whey protein “can cause some side effects such as increased bowel movements, nausea, thirst, bloating, cramps, reduced appetite, tiredness (fatigue), and headache.” (14)

The American Council on Exercise reported that large amounts of whey protein can be stored as a form of fat. Studies have shown that whey protein can also stress the liver and kidneys, because they break down the majority of protein.

According to a study in the International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism, daily protein ingestion of less than 2.8 grams per kilogram of body weight does not harm renal function in athletes. The American Diabetes Association recommends that diabetic individuals consume only the recommended daily amount or less than that. Liver and kidney disease patients should ensure that their whey protein intake is closely monitored to avoid complications.

Excessive whey protein intake can result in kidney stones or calcium deposits in the kidney, which can be very harmful if left untreated.

The National Institutes of Health recommend a moderate protein diet. Be very cautious about using whey protein powders on a regular basis and monitor how much is being ingested, so you aren’t getting too much. Remember this is animal protein. “The more protein—especially animal protein—one eats, the higher the risk of different chronic diseases. …According to the World Health Organization, 0.5 g/kg is adequate for good health.” (15)

Soy

Soy protein is a complete protein but can be very hard to digest. The Chinese did not eat unfermented soybeans, because they contained high quantities of natural toxins or “anti-nutrients” and were high in phytic acid. This means ingesting unfermented soy can prevent the body from absorbing other nutrients like calcium, magnesium, copper, iron, zinc, and particularly protein. In China, soy was not used as a food until fermentation techniques were discovered in the Zhou Dynasty (1046–256 BC).

When soy is fermented—as in miso, tempeh, or soy sauce—the soy nutrients are more digestible and easier to absorb.

Soy has been linked to gastric distress and pancreatic problems, including cancer, and it can impair our body’s uptake of amino acids.[ii] It also contains goitrogens, which are known to suppress the functioning of the thyroid. (16)

Most soy on the market today is from genetically modified (GM) seed. 91 percent of soybeans planted in the United States are GM, and the rate is rapidly growing throughout the world, according to the Natural News newsletter. (17)

Dr. Gregory Damato points out that “more than 95 percent of GM soy (and 75 percent of other GM crops) is engineered to tolerate glyphosate herbicide, the most common formulation of which is Roundup.”[iii] Recent studies by French scientists on the Toxicity of Roundup and Glyphosate found this herbicide carcinogenic.(18)

They found it:

1. Causes cell cycle dysregulation, which is a hallmark of tumor cells and human cancers.

2. Inhibits DNA synthesis in certain parts of the cell cycle—the cells’ reproductive process which underlies the growth and development of all living organisms.

3. Impedes the hatchings of sea urchins. (Sea urchins were used because they constitute an appropriate model for the identification of undesirable cellular and molecular targets of pollutants.) The delay was found to be dose dependent on the concentration of Roundup. The surfactant polyoxyethylene amine (POEA), another major component of Roundup, was also found to be highly toxic to the embryos when tested alone, and could therefore be a contributing factor. (19)

These reasons are why I don’t eat soy if I can avoid it, or any other genetically modified food or non-organically grown food. I recommend reading more about glyphosate herbicide if you are eating non-certified organic foods.

Be aware that soy is added to tortillas, breads, fake meats, and many other foods, supposedly for the “health” benefit. In my opinion, it is really used as cheap filler.

Health and nutrition expert Dr. Joseph Mercola writes that the advertising industry has misled the public about the safety and health benefits of soy, as well as the widespread use of it in the Asian diet. He states: “A study of the history of soy use in Asia shows that the poor used it during times of extreme food shortage, and only when the soybeans were carefully prepared (e.g. by lengthy fermentation) to destroy the soy toxins.” (20) He goes on to say that, contrary to some reports in the West, it is not the usual practice in Asian countries to feed soy milk to infants. (21)

A billion-dollar industry advertises soy as the answer to many health issues. Soy is frequently touted as the answer to women’s menopause problems, heart disease, and weight problems, as well as a great protein source. Be aware of this when you read food labels that refer to soy’s health benefits, even those that display an FDA approval statement that soy can help lower the risk of heart disease. In 2000, two FDA employees, Daniel Doerge and Daniel Sheehan, were so worried about the danger of soy that they wrote a controversial letter to their employer, protesting the positive health claims for soy that the FDA was approving at the time. (22)

They wrote:

There is abundant evidence that some of the isoflavones found in soy, including genistein and equol, a metabolite of daidzen, demonstrate toxicity in estrogen sensitive tissues and in the thyroid. This is true for a number of species, including humans. Additionally, isoflavones are inhibitors of the thyroid peroxidase which makes T3 and T4. Inhibition can be expected to generate thyroid abnormalities, including goiter and autoimmune thyroiditis. There exists a significant body of animal data that demonstrates goitrogenic and even carcinogenic effects of soy products. Moreover, there are significant reports of goitrogenic effects from soy consumption in human infants. (23)

Think carefully about the effects that soy can have on the thyroid, our master gland which affects almost all aspects of our health, and estrogen. Many doctors and nutritionists are soy proponents. Be careful and research this yourself if you are concerned.

Soy is touted as solution to menopause hormone imbalances. This is one of the reasons why so many doctors and older women were happy to embrace it. Soy and soy-based products contain isoflavones or phytoestrogens, which are plant-based estrogens. Soy is not the only food that contains phytoestrogens. There are other less controversial and more digestible foods with phytoestrogens you can include in your diet.

For men, eating soy isoflavones can significantly reduce testicular function and lower luteinizing hormone (LH) production, which is what signals the testicles to work. A high soy intake, which potentially lowers the level of LH, increases the probability of estrogen dominance in men, contributing to hair loss, swollen and cancerous prostates, and insulin resistance. Dr. Doris Rapp, MD, a leading pediatric allergist, asserts that environmental and food estrogens are responsible for the worldwide reduction in male fertility. (24)

Soy consumption has been linked with cancer in adults, notably breast cancer, as I read in an article by Jim Rutz. He went on to say: “That’s why the governments of Israel, the UK, France, and New Zealand are already cracking down hard on soy. . .

In sad contrast, 60 percent of the refined foods in US supermarkets now contain soy. Worse, soy use may double in the next few years because (last I heard) the out-of-touch medicrats in the FDA hierarchy are considering allowing manufacturers of cereal, energy bars, fake milk, fake yogurt, etc., to claim that “soy prevents cancer.” It doesn’t. . .

P.S.: Fermented , organic soy sauce is fine. Unlike soy milk, it’s perfectly safe because it’s fermented, which changes its molecular structure. Miso, natto, and tempeh are also okay, but avoid tofu. (25)

Soy can create allergic reactions. In 1986, Dr. Stuart Berger, MD, placed soy among the top seven allergens, one of the “sinister seven.”

Finally, soy protein isolate, a byproduct of soybean oil processing that is found in a huge number of vegan foods, is something to avoid completely. The processing of soy protein isolate is done mostly in aluminum tanks that leach high levels of aluminum into the product. Then MSG, flavorings, preservatives, sweeteners, and synthetic chemicals are frequently added to help get rid of the “beany” taste and add more “meaty” flavor. In animal experiments, the test animals fed soy isolate developed enlarged organs, particularly the thyroid and the pancreas.

After the soybeans, which are mostly GM varieties, are crushed to extract the oil, the leftover soy “chunks” (which still contain fiber, water, some fat, and other carbohydrates) then undergo another extraction process that involves hexane—a neurotoxin that is also a substantial component in gasoline. The next step involves soaking these chunks in a chemical mixture (which commonly contains ammonia and hydrochloric acid) to help concentrate protein levels and achieve a sponge-like texture. Finally, the mixture is then spray-dried. (26)

A regular, standard soybean contains 40 percent protein, while soy protein isolate is usually about 95 percent protein.

Soy protein isolate can only be made in factories. Healthy, whole foods should be possible to make in a kitchen. You can grind your own almond flour at home from almonds. You can make your own seitan (wheat meat) at home. You can make your own rice milk or hemp milk at home with a blender and some whole-food ingredients. The only way to make soy protein isolate is by using extremely flammable and hazardous chemicals, like hexane, and extreme temperatures that you could not possibly obtain in a kitchen setting.

Hexane is not used in the production of organic soy protein isolate. For a list of which protein bars and soy burgers are made using hexane-extracted soy protein isolates and which aren’t, go to: www.cornucopia.org/hexane-guides/hexane_guide_bars.html.

As I researched soy, I came to seriously reconsider its use. When I first became a vegetarian, I used soy for many things. I used to feel that soy milk, soy beans, and other soy products were foods I should use. I learn something new every day. No one knows everything, so be open to new information.

I found some soy vegetarian alternative meats worked really well as transition foods from a meat-based diet. Some of them didn’t taste very good and were a huge waste of money, but a few were pretty good. I always looked for organic ones, but those were rare. I slowly weaned myself off them. There are many more choices today that are organic and taste much better than what was available in 1988.

As I have learned more about soy, I always try to avoid it if possible. I do, however, use organic fermented soy sauce. I also use organic miso and tempeh occasionally. There are alternative organic misos now that are made with brown rice, garbanzo beans, and barley, and they taste terrific. I buy these instead of the soy variety.

In conclusion, if you are going to buy soy, buy certified organic soy because it won’t be from genetically modified seeds. Buy sprouted and/or fermented soy for a more digestible and less harmful soy protein, and avoid soy protein isolates.

Beans

Beans—including black beans, garbanzo beans (also known as chickpeas), pinto beans, and kidney beans—are a great source of protein, fiber, and antioxidants. Beans are relatively inexpensive and easy to store in a dry, cool place for a fairly long time.

The fiber in beans has been shown to help lower cholesterol by binding with bile acids, which are used in making cholesterol. Fiber isn’t absorbed into the body. It passes out of the body, taking the bile with it. Beans also help prevent blood sugar levels from rising too quickly after a meal, making beans a good food choice for people with diabetes or hypoglycemia. Combining beans with whole-grain rice gives you all the essential amino acids.

A little-known and beneficial attribute of beans is that they contain the enzyme sulfite oxidase, which can detoxify sulfites. Sulfites are a common preservative used in many foods today. Many people are sensitive to sulfites, resulting in weight gain, headaches, and rapid heartbeat. Eating one cup of black beans can give you 172 percent of the daily value of the trace mineral molybdenum, which is the key component of sulfite oxidase.

The Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry researched beans and found they are as rich in anthocyanin—an antioxidant compound—as cranberries, oranges, and grapes. In fact, black beans had approximately 10 times the amount found in oranges. The darker the bean, the higher the antioxidant properties were. Gram for gram, black beans had the highest levels of antioxidants. They descended in order of black, red, brown, yellow, and lastly white.

I believe that everyone wants to be radiantly healthy. Our skin reflects our health and is the first impression people have of us when we meet, so it’s no surprise that many of us want to have the best and healthiest skin possible. Every 2 to 4 weeks, our skin replaces itself and our body makes new cells from the food we eat. I consider food to be my medicine, and as it becomes our cells, tissue and blood, it is only logical to try to eat the best foods for skin health and overall well-being.

Good nutrition is the fundamental key to protecting the cells of our skin on a cellular level. I feel the body is amazing, and it can do miraculous things if given the right tools. Making the decision to eat healthier can be the way to rejuvenate the skin and your overall health.

I want to age gracefully and have my skin look as youthful as possible, and I’ve researched this topic considerably. I believe it’s a combination of things that helps us look and feel our best, including our skin. Getting enough sleep, exercise, reducing stress, staying hydrated, consuming a whole, fresh, antioxidant-rich diet, and using non-toxic body care lotions and soaps all play a part in our skin health and appearance.

Here are 7 of my top choices for the best foods for healthy skin:

1. Foods with Omega-3 fatty acids can help with more youthful looking skin, because they contain the crucial nutrients needed to help repair damaged skin cells. Their anti-inflammatory properties may lead to smoother, younger-looking skin and a reduction of inflammatory skin conditions like acne or psoriasis. Some of the top sources for omega-3’s are: cold-pressed, organic hemp or flax seed oil, hemp seeds, flax seeds, chia seeds, walnuts, and certain fish like sardines, salmon, mackerel, tuna, anchovies, and black cod.

2. Foods rich in Vitamin A, C and E will provide the antioxidants that can help protect the cells from free radicals that can damage skin and cause wrinkles. Organic, fresh, and unprocessed food will provide the most nutrition. Always consume fruits in their whole form with the fiber, and never drink pure or processed fruit juice. (Fruit juice goes straight into the bloodstream too quickly, and it’s much better to have the fiber of the whole fruit to slow down the sugar.)

a. Vitamin A – rich foods include: apricots, Goji berries, Acai berries, butternut squash, carrots, cantaloupe, leafy greens (especially kale, Swiss Chard, romaine, as well as sprouts and wheat grass), mangoes, pumpkin, sweet potato, spinach, and tomatoes. (Not only are tomatoes high in Vitamin A, but they are also high in lycopene, which can act as a natural sun protection and help prevent sun damage to the skin. In a study, “Volunteers who consumed 5 tablespoons of high-in-lycopene tomato paste daily for 3 months had nearly 25% more protection against sunburn. Even better, skin had more collagen, which prevents sagging. German scientists report that higher skin levels of this antioxidant correlate to fewer fine lines and furrows).”

b. Vitamin C – rich foods include: apricots, Goji berries, blueberries, strawberries, bilberries, cranberries, raspberries, grapes, oranges, grapefruits, papayas, strawberries, kiwis, red, yellow and orange bell peppers, cantaloupes, tomatoes, broccoli, mangoes, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, leafy greens (including kale), sprouts, and wheat grass.

c. Vitamin E – rich foods include: avocado, sprouted nuts (examples: almond, Brazil, pine, hazelnuts), sprouted seeds (like sunflower seeds), olives, raw red sweet pepper, turnip greens, spinach, asparagus, mango, kiwi, wheat germ and wheat grass. (Sprouted seeds and nuts makes them easier to digest and more nutrient dense. I explain more about this in my nutrition/cookbooks).

3. Wheatgrass has many benefits, either taken internally or used topically. Wheatgrass is the young grass shoot of the common wheat plant, which is commonly taken as a juice. It can be taken in a capsule or tablet form as well. You may want to ease into taking wheatgrass, because it is such a powerful food.

Wheatgrass juice is a great detoxifier, but if it’s consumed too much too quickly or with a meal, it may make you feel nauseous or headachy. So, start off slowly and add a little more to your diet gradually as you can.

I recommend starting with one ounce a day and slowly adding a bit more to your the diet as you get used to it. Take wheatgrass on an empty stomach or in addition to fresh fruits and vegetables. (I take mine first thing in the morning with a dash of Ceylon Cinnamon and a pinch of mineral-rich pink salt. I think it makes it taste better and also adds some health benefits.)

You can also use the wheat grass in your non-chlorinated bath water or put it on your skin topically as a wash in it’s purest form. It’s been shown to help detoxify the cells, oxygenate the blood, and have antiviral effects. In addition to this, wheat grass has been researched and found to help with lowering the risk of various cancers.

Wheatgrass juice is an excellent source of concentrated chlorophyll (rich in antioxidants), Vitamins A, C, and E, as well as containing about 98 of 102 of the earth elements found in soil (which include phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, selenium, iron, and potassium), electrolytes, 19 amino acids and powerful enzymes.

Wheatgrass juice is a powerhouse of nutrition.

4. Walnuts – are high in omega-3 fatty acids and protein, as well as alpha-linolenic acid. The alpha-linolenic acid helps keep the skin moist and supple. Walnuts also have been found to help with sleep. Getting enough sleep is great for healthy skin. Our body rests and heals when it is truly resting at night in a deep sleep. Researchers at the University of Texas Health Science Center discovered that walnuts contain melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep.

I recommend buying organic, sprouted, raw walnuts. Sprouting nuts removes the phytic acid. This removes the enzyme inhibitors and makes them more digestible.

5. Cacao – Yes, you can eat dark chocolate for your skin’s health! Cacao is one of the highest antioxidant and flavonoid-containing foods. It is wonderful at improving circulation, and is a great source of flavonols, which is a group of plant metabolites that have excellent antioxidant effects. These flavonols can fight against skin damage. Flavonoids also fight free radicals (molecules that have lost an electron and attack the DNA, enzymes and proteins or cell membranes) in the bloodstream.

Women who drank 1/2 cup of “dark cacao” cocoa every day for 12 weeks in a study had significantly softer, smoother, and better hydrated skin. The British study had the volunteers consume an 8-ounce cup of cocoa, and found that they had improved blood flow to the brain for 2 hours. Besides better functioning on complex tasks, participants also showed more brain activity in MRI scans–an indication of enhanced brain function that may reduce the risk of dementia.

6. Avocado – is a super powerhouse food! This fruit is packed with nutritional benefits and has a delicious creamy rich flavor. What could be better? Avocados contain monounsaturated fat, which is a “good fat.” According to the Harvard School of Public Health, “Unsaturated fats are called good fats because they can ease inflammation, stabilize heart rhythms, and play a number of other beneficial roles.”

Healthy fat, like the fat in avocados, is essential for every cell in our body. It can support our brain, boost our immune system, increase our nutrient absorption and best of all, it can create a glowing complexion.

7. Coconut – (including the meat, water, and oil) can be used in many ways as a food, lotion and beverage. Talk about a health food… coconut oil is one of my favorites.

Coconut oil contains a high amount of saturated fats, but these are very different from the saturated fats that come from creature meats. The saturated fat of coconut oil contains Medium-Chain Triglycerides. These medium-chained fatty acids are absorbed differently by the body. These fatty acids go straight to the liver from the digestive tract and are then turned into ketone bodies. These ketones have a therapeutic effect on the brain, by allowing the brain to absorb glucose from the bloodstream. Coconut oil has been studied for its positive effect on brain disorders like epilepsy and Alzheimer’s.

Coconut water also has Cytokinins, kinetin and trans-zeatin, which have antithrombotic, anti-carcinogenic and anti-aging effects on the body. Coconut water is delicious, and can be a good alternative to drinking regular water.

I cook with coconut oil, add it to my recipes and use it as a body lotion. Topically, coconut oil is able to penetrate your skin on a deeper level, and thus it helps create richly nourished radiant skin. If you have a problem with dry skin, using coconut oil as your body lotion is a very effective remedy. Coconut oil is very stable and will be either hard or more liquid depending on the temperature. If it’s hard, simply rub the coconut oil in your hands to warm it up and smooth it over your body and any dry, rough areas. Avoid fractionated coconut oil (a coconut oil that is always liquid), as it is a trans-fat.

Conclusion

So, now that you have an idea of the best food for your skin and overall health and well-being, let’s get you started on your rejuvenation-eating plan. The following recipe is a delicious and satisfying smoothie that packs a powerhouse of nutrition and feeds your skin. Prepare to become radiantly healthy!

The post A Holistic Approach To Heart Disease appeared first on Organic Healthy Life - Nancy Addison - Nutrition.

]]> February is National Heart Awareness Month.

There is new research and information coming out all the time regarding the best way to take care of our health. It has been proven that reversing heart disease holistically is possible. In this article, I will expand on things you can do in order to holistically reverse heart disease.

According to Dr. Bryan Ardis, make sure you are getting enough magnesium into your body every day. In addition to that, staying hydrated, making sure your Vitamin D level is optimum, and eating a lot of organic, fresh nutrient-rich foods (especially ones that contain Vitamin C) is recommended.

A vegetarian diet has been proven to reverse heart disease holistically. The studies show that people on healthy vegetarian diets have lower risks of:

• Heart disease
• Colorectal, ovarian, and breast cancers
• Diabetes • Obesity
• Hypertension (high blood pressure)

This is because a healthy vegetarian diet is commonly high in organic, fresh, whole vegetables and fruits, low in unhealthy fat, and abundant in fiber and antioxidants.

I do believe that quality is important. For an optimum vegetarian/vegan diet, you want to buy certified organic, non-GMO, fresh food, and to avoid trans-fats, cottonseed oil, canola oil, soy, artificial sweeteners, high fructose sweeteners, white refined carbohydrates, processed, microwaved, pasteurized, radiated, and fast foods. (I expand on this in my book, “How To Be A Healthy Vegetarian,” 2nd edition.)

Dr. Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., former president of the medical staff at the Cleveland Clinic, writes that you can reverse heart disease with no drugs and only a plant-based diet. He bases this conclusion on the groundbreaking results of his 20-year nutritional study. Backed by solid scientific evidence, he argues that we can end the heart disease epidemic simply by changing what we eat. Dr. Esselstyn recommends a plant-based, oil-free diet that he says can prevent heart disease, stop its progress, and even reverse its effects.

Dr. T. Colin Campbell, PhD, professor emeritus at Cornell University and co-author of The China Study, the most comprehensive human nutrition study to date, advocates a plant-based diet for optimum health.

I was fortunate to be part of Dr. Campbell’s class at Cornell University, where he told us that plant-based eating is a superior way of eating. The benefits of eating this way include living longer, looking and feeling younger, having more energy, losing weight, preventing and even reversing heart disease, lowering your risk of prostate, breast and other cancers, preserving your eyesight in your later years, preventing and treating diabetes, avoiding surgery, vastly decreasing the need for pharmaceutical drugs, helping to keep your bones strong, avoiding impotence, avoiding stroke, preventing kidney stones, keeping your baby from getting Type 2 diabetes, alleviating constipation, lowering your blood pressure, avoiding Alzheimer’s, and beating arthritis and more.

Dr. Campbell discussed studies he had done on the diseases that arose in populations when meat protein was introduced into the diet. He continued: “My early research gave me the understanding that animal protein, when tested experimentally, was substantially different from plant protein in its ability to promote tumor development. It turned out that animal protein had its effect by operating through a constellation of integrative mechanisms. The division between animal and plant foods was a signpost of a division of the kinds of foods having an effect on cancer.”

“Dr. Dean Ornish in California, and Dr. Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr. in Ohio, during the mid l980’s, each separately initiated studies of plant-based nutrition as treatment for patients severely ill with coronary artery disease. Their goal was to remove every last morsel of animal food, dairy, processed flour, and oils that were causing the disease, and to eat a diet of vegetables, fruit, legumes and whole grains. In all compliant patients, results were prompt and enduring. Angina heart pain diminished and both physicians found that x-rays of the hearts’ arteries confirmed the disease could be reversed. Dr. Ornish proved this after one year of treatment.

Dr. Esselstyn showed the same at 5 years, and reported his results again at 12, 16, and finally beyond 21 years in his book, Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease.

Dr. Esselstyn is particularly pleased with a smaller subset of patients who were told by expert cardiologists in 1986 they had less than a year to live, and all of whom are alive 21 years later.” One thing I’ve learned through research is that people with heart disease frequently have diabetes as well. It’s common for a person to actually die from a heart attack, without even knowing they were diabetic. A plant-based diet can help with diabetes as well. More than 100 million people today have diabetes or pre-diabetes.

The study’s findings agree with my experience. Working with people who have diabetes, I have found they show remarkable improvement in their health and well-being from consuming a plant-based and almost completely raw food diet.

Dr James Anderson, of the University of Kentucky in Lexington, directed a study of 25 Type 1 and 25 Type 2 diabetics. This study involved placing the patients on a high-fiber, high-carbohydrate, low-fat diet in a hospital setting.

Dr. Anderson initially put the patients on the American Diabetes Association’s recommended diet plan for one week. Then he switched them over to a vegetarian, plant-based diet for three weeks. None of these patients were overweight when they started the study, but they were on insulin shots to control their blood sugar levels. All through the study, Dr. Anderson measured their blood sugar levels, their cholesterol levels, their medications, and their weight.

Type 1 diabetics cannot produce insulin, and it was thought that dietary changes would not affect this situation. But, the results showed that after three weeks on a vegetarian, whole-food, high-fiber diet, the “Type 1 diabetics were able to lower their insulin medication by an average of 40%”, “their blood sugar profiles improved dramatically”, and their “cholesterol levels dropped by 30%”.

These results were more impressive with the Type 2 diabetics who had not incurred as much damage to their pancreas. After three weeks on the high-fiber, vegetarian diet, 24 of the 25 Type 2 diabetics discontinued their insulin medication completely. The one Type 2 diabetic who wasn’t able to get off his medication had been a 25-year diabetic taking 35 units per day. After three weeks of vegetarian food, his requirement dropped down to only eight units per day. As he continued the vegetarian eating plan at home, he was able to cut out all insulin shots after another eight weeks.

More recent events within the past 4 years, have led my friend, Dr. Ardis to create a program that addresses heart issues in regards to the C…d injections. Dr. Ardis has a protocol he created for people who are concerned about having gotten the “vac-c-ne,” or who have been around people who have gotten it, and what they can do about it.

Addressing one more thing regarding heart disease is blood pressure. An article on high blood pressure, The Vast Overtreatment of Blood Pressure, shows how the blood pressure monitoring is vastly over-rated and possibly a scam that leads to higher death rates.

In closing, I’ve learned that everyone needs to find the proper eating plan that works best for them, and to find balance in their life. Even if you do not become 100% vegetarian, just switching out a few meals a week (or a day), can start to make a difference in your health and the health of your heart. As you start to change your eating habits or diet, it may seem challenging at first, but it will start to become easier as you implement the new foods into your diet, and you will be on the road to better health.* Note: I have to change the spelling of certain words, so my newsletter emails don’t get censored.

Baked cauliflower is always delicious, but when you add tahini sauce to it, the health benefits soar. Tahini is a sesame butter/paste that is popular in Middle Eastern cuisine.

“Studies show sesamol, a natural chemical found in sesame seeds and sesame oil, has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-aging benefits. Other studies say it also has strong anti-cancer effects. Sesame seeds have more phytosterols than other nuts and seeds.“

Tahini is made of three ingredients: hulled sesame seeds, sesame seed oil, and oftentimes salt. Hulled sesame seeds are normally toasted, and then ground to create a smooth, creamy seed butter with a pourable consistency.

You can make tahini yourself from organic sprouted sesame seeds or toasted sesame seeds. Simply grind the sprouted sesame seeds in a food processor with a little organic extra virgin olive oil, and a tiny bit of mineral-rich salt, until it is smooth and creamy. Sprouting or toasting the sesame seeds makes them more digestible and removes the enzyme inhibitors.

My daughter Amanda taught me the following tahini sauce recipe over Thanksgiving. It is a marvelous way to make cauliflower or leafy greens delectable!

You can serve this sauce over any variety of vegetables or greens that you sauté or steam. It can be served over cooked brown rice or quinoa to make a main dish. Raw vegetables are also good with this sauce. This sauce is gluten-free, vegan, healthy, savory, simple, rich in protein, and delicious!

The tahini sauce with sautéed or steamed vegetables or greens makes a fantastic dish to serve at special group meals, because it accommodates people with special dining requirements.

Recipe for Roasted Cauliflower With Tahini Sauce

Ingredients

1 head organic cauliflower

organic coconut oil for cooking

mineral-rich salt to taste

1/2 or 1 cup organic raisins

1 cup tahini sauce (recipe below)

]]>

This month is my birthday!
My mother always made this special cake for our birthdays and other celebrations.
She baked it in a large cookie sheet with a 1-inch side. It’s like a big brownie with icing.

Mom used white refined flour and white sugar for this recipe,
but it’s just as great using the healthier versions of organic flour, butter, and sugar.

I am showing this recipe non-gluten-free,
but in the “variations” I tell you how to make it gluten-free.

Cake Ingredients

2 c. organic flour
2 c. whole, organic, unrefined sugar (you can also use date sugar)
2 sticks butter
4 T. cocoa
1 c. pure water
1⁄2 c. buttermilk
2 eggs
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. vanilla

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Sift together flour and sugar in a bowl.
3. Separately mix in a saucepan butter, cocoa, and water.
Bring to a rapid boil, and then pour over flour and sugar.
Stir well.
4. Add buttermilk, eggs, baking soda, and vanilla, and mix well.
5. Pour cake into a well-greased 11×16 baking sheet or pan that is at least a half-inch deep.
6. Bake 20 minutes.

Variation: For a gluten-free cake, use gluten-free flour and
add 1/4 cup of tapioca flour in addition to that, to help the flour bind better.

Icing Ingredients

1 stick butter
4 T. cocoa
6 T. milk
1 box organic powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 c. pecans, chopped

Directions:

1. While cake is baking, melt together and bring to a boil butter, cocoa, and milk.
2. Remove quickly from the heat.
3. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, and pecans. Beat together well.
4. Spread icing on cake as soon as it comes out of the oven and is still hot.

Serving size: 10–12 servings

The post Holistic Sleep Remedies appeared first on Organic Healthy Life - Nancy Addison - Nutrition.

]]> More and more people of all ages have told me how they either have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep. Sleep is a vital part of our lives and our well-being, but lack of sleep can become a problem in today’s fast-paced world. This article has some of my best holistic sleep remedies.

As we get older, we don’t produce as much melatonin, which is the hormone that helps us sleep. If we don’t have enough melatonin, our body will pull it from our serotonin reserve in order to make it. I have started using the drug-free, non-transdermal, phototherapy “Silent Night” patches. They really help me. Silent Night patches can help regulate sleep through helping the body with melatonin production. The Silent Night patches also help reduce oxidative stress, because melatonin is an antioxidant. I have been using them about 3 years. I love them.

If I am having a tough time relaxing, or I am dealing with a lot of stress, or an injury, I might also use the drug-free, non-transdermal Aeon patch. It can reduce anxiety, lift your mood, as well as helps decrease pain and inflammation. (If you want to try the non-transdermal patches, my referral number is 1439757. Let me know when you are ordering them, so I can help you place your order, and/or give you tips to use them in the most effective way possible.)

You can also supplement melatonin. These melatonin supplements usually come in different strengths (one to three milligrams).

Dr. Gary Massad has researched melatonin and sleep problems in depth. He told me that the studies show that if you take half a milligram of melatonin around three or four in the afternoon, and another half milligram about an hour before bedtime, it will work most effectively. If a melatonin supplement is taken, it saves our reserves of serotonin, which affects our mood. If you aren’t draining it, you will have more serotonin to help with sustaining positive moods.

Melatonin works much better with ample Vitamin B in your system. If you are concerned about vitamin B, take a good whole-food Vitamin B complex supplement. Some medical experts think that a Vitamin B spray under the tongue is the best type of supplement source, because it is absorbed more effectively. Vitamin B’s are water-soluble and need to be replenished daily.

Hormone (progesterone) imbalances can also disrupt our sleep patterns. Many of the toxins in our environment can disrupt our hormones. I feel that we are constantly trying to keep our bodies in balance, and detoxified from all of these toxins that are so prevalent in our air, water, and food.

I use the Lifewave SP6 patch. This patch naturally balances my hormones. It’s easy, and I find it very effective. (If you want to try the Lifewave patches, my referral number is 1439757. Let me know when you are ordering them, so I can help you place your order, and/or give you tips to use them in the most effective way possible.)

If you are supplementing, I recommend only using a vitamin from a whole food or naturally mined source. I do not recommend ever taking synthetic vitamins or minerals.

Experiment to find out what works best for you. In fact, what works for you might even change from time to time.

What Lifestyle Suggestions Can Help You Sleep?

Eat a light, early supper.

Exercise and breathe deeply.

Make the bedroom a place of peace and tranquility, with as little EMF (electromagnetic field) disturbance, noise, and light as possible.
I sleep on a grounding sheet at night. It’s amazing how I fall asleep so quickly now and also sleep deeply. I highly recommend it.

Write down a list of things you must do tomorrow. (This will get all of those thoughts out of your brain about the next day.)

Think calming thoughts that are positive, uplifting, and filled with gratitude and thankfulness for 20 minutes right before bedtime.

Write down five things that you are grateful for, or five miracles that happened to you or your loved one, or child today, or five things that you want to happen tomorrow.

Focus on the most positive things you can. (I found this was a perfect time for me to fill in my children’s baby books. It’s positive and it contains their first words, steps, discoveries, accomplishments, food favorites, people they met, funny events, and more.)

Stay hydrated. (It takes 24 glasses of water to rehydrate after one soda. Carbonated drinks are not hydrating. CO2 is our body’s waste and it is putting waste into the cells.)

Try a sleep CD to help relax the mind and body. You might also listen to recorded sounds of rain or ocean waves to help with sleep. They can relax your mind.

All of these things will contribute to your relaxation, and you can rest with peace for a healing sleep.

Food and Sleep Patterns

When you sleep, your body heals itself. I suggest you try to eat lighter at dinner, and give yourself at least three hours between your meal and bed. If your body has to digest and process food, then it has to work hard, and it’s not able to rest and restore.

Give your body a break and have some soup for dinner or a light vegetarian meal. It would help to make your breakfast and lunch the main meals of the day.

If digestion is an issue, lie down on your left side for about 20 minutes. According to Ayurveda healing tradition, when we sleep on the left side, our lymphatic system drains more efficiently, our heart beats more smoothly, our spleen function is supported, our bile flows easier, and because of gravity, our food moves more effortlessly from the small intestine to the large intestine. When you lie on the left side, the stomach and pancreas hang naturally, allowing for optimal and efficient digestion. Good advice comes from an old Ayurvedic remedy.

If your body is acidic, try drinking a teaspoon of baking soda in a glass of water to neutralize the acid. I add a pinch of unrefined, mineral-rich sea salt to this as well. What an easy, inexpensive solution! Drink healthy, hydrating fluids during the day, but don’t drink too much right before bed. Then you won’t have a need to get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom.

Drink herbal nighttime teas (chamomile tea is a good choice), which can encourage rest and sleep. Also, eating tart cherries or consuming tart cherry juice can assist in obtaining a better night’s sleep.

Take a magnesium supplement after your dinner meal. You might try a supplement with a combination of magnesium forms like BIOptimizer or Organixx brand of magnesium 7, with different forms of magnesium in them. (I like these the best.)

What do some of the various types of magnesium do?

Magnesium taurateis a magnesium salt bound to the amino acid taurine, which is produced within the body and is concentrated in the muscles, heart, brain, and eyes. Both taurine and magnesium stimulate and stabilize the nervous system, creating a state of relaxation and helping to “calm the nerves.”

Magnesium orotate can have a postive effects on the myocardium under conditions of stress ranging from myocardial infarction to intense physical exercise.

Magnesium Chelate (Muscle Recovery) Chelated forms of magnesium provide the best absorbency in comparison to non-chelated. Published research by the New York Headache Center discusses that 400 mg of chelated magnesium a day is especially helpful for pre-menstrual syndrome, as well as foot and leg cramps.

Magnesium Glycinate (Sleep, Anxiety & Brain Health) One of the best forms of magnesium, magnesium glycinate (also known as magnesium diglycinate or magnesium bisglycinate) is a chelated form of magnesium that contains the amino acid glycine. Glycine is the amino acid that is able to cross the blood-brain barrier. It is known for beneficial characteristics relating to sleep and brain health. I like a drink called Moonbrew link, that has this type of magnesium in it, along with other helpful ingredients for deep sleep.

Enjoy a relaxing evening bath or foot-bath, as this will calm you before bedtime. Fill up a warm or hot bath and soak for ten minutes or more. I like to put mineral salts (Magnesium-Chloride Bath Flakes) in my bath.

I also add a little organic apple cider vinegar to my bath water to aid in adjusting the PH balance in my body. Right before I step into the tub, I add a few drops of one of my favorite essential oils. I add them last, so they won’t evaporate before I can get in and enjoy the aroma.

For night-time relaxation, my favorite essential oil is lavender.
My formula for my bath water is 1⁄4 to 1⁄2 cup Magnesium-Chloride Bath Flakes, 1⁄4 cup of baking soda, and 5–10 drops of essential oil.

I have a water purifier on my shower head, and I fill my bath through my shower head. I don’t like to have chlorine and fluoride in my shower and bath water, because our skin absorbs things so quickly and easily. (That’s why so many medicines are on patches.)

Both chlorine and fluoride are carcinogens. Did you know that chlorine was the first chemical developed to kill in warfare? That’s why I avoid it whenever I can. The purifier also removes fluoride and other toxins.

Peppermint, rosemary, and eucalyptus oils invigorate me, so I use those in the morning. If you can’t take a bath, a good foot soak can be beneficial and relaxing as well.

After your shower or foot bath, dry off and put on a soothing body lotion, cream, or oil (example: pure organic coconut oil) to seal in the moisture. This helps avoid itchy, dry skin during the night. If you’re like me, you sleep better in comfortable clothing and sheets, so you might splurge on the quality of your bed linens and night clothes. It makes me feel better, and I look forward to putting them on and getting into bed. I feel like I’m pampering myself.

I hope one or more of these suggestions will help you get a deep, relaxing, and restorative night’s sleep!

In fact, it is not salt that is bad for us, it is the type of salt we eat.

The word “electrolyte” is a chemical term for salt. We need electrolytes to be healthy. As Dr. David Brownstein says, “Without salt, life itself would not be possible. (1) The misconception about salt stems from the fact that conventional medical doctor’s, who basically are not taught about nutrition, make no differentiation between white, refined salt and unrefined, mineral-rich salt.

Unrefined, mineral-rich salt is important for life, because our enzymes cannot function with it. Mineral-rich salt promotes the proper balance for the endocrine, adrenal, and thyroid glands, so that they function properly. It also supports healthy blood pressure, detoxifies the body, and along with water, is necessary for the optimal functioning of the immune system, hormonal system, and cardiovascular health. (2)

Dr. David Brownstein (a leading thyroid expert and author of Salt Your Way To Health) recommends at least 1 tsp. of mineral-rich salt in an adult diet daily for optimum health.

When we sweat, our body can lose many minerals, and these minerals need to be replenished. Unrefined whole, mineral-rich salt contains these minerals. Mineral-rich salt can also help balance the body by alkalizing it. Maintaining a slightly alkaline pH is important to our health.

The white refined table salt most of us grew up using lacks numerous minerals that are present in whole, natural, mineral-rich salt. Refined table salt is 98 percent sodium chloride with added bicarbonates, chemicals, sugar, and preservatives. Iodine, the main nutrient that supports our thyroid gland, is added to many refined salts, but in insufficient quantities “to prevent thyroid illnesses or to provide for the body’s iodine needs.” (3) Given that iodine dissipates after being exposed to oxygen, table salt could never be a reliable source of iodine anyway.

Many food sources today lack vital minerals and nutrients. Soils are depleted, and refining and processing take out many or all of the nutrients in foods. Salt cravings are actually a signal you may be depleted in nutrients, minerals, and electrolytes. Salt cravings can also be a signal that your thyroid and adrenal glands need minerals. If you have been craving salt or have been under a good deal of stress, you may want to add a drop of iodine daily to your diet to make certain you are getting enough iodine in your diet to support your thyroid. We don’t have many food sources for iodine, and it is extremely important to our health.

Dr. Brownstein says low-salt diets “promote toxicity” and have:

. . .adverse effects on numerous metabolic markers, including promoting elevated insulin levels and insulin resistance. Finally, low-mineral-rich salt diets will lead to mineral deficiencies and the development of chronic disease. (4)

In 1994, The British Medical Journal published a study conducted in the Netherlands. The study examined 100 men and women between the ages of 55 and 75 who had mild to moderate hypertension. When common, refined table salt was replaced with mineral-rich salt high in magnesium and potassium, the study showed a reduction in blood pressure equivalent to that produced by drugs which lower blood pressure. (5)

There are various types of mineral-rich salts, with different mineral contents. Try a few different ones and see which one you like the best. Celtic sea salt is supposed to be high in minerals, but it is from the polluted present-day oceans, and can contain mercury and plastic. Personally, I like to use Bolivian Rose salt and Real Salt (by Redmond).

Mined mineral-rich salt is cleaner and more nutrient-dense, because it was formed when oceans were less polluted, and during a more nutrient-dense time. Minerals have color, so buy salt with pink color. White salt has probably been bleached and has had the minerals stripped from it.

In conclusion, we need mineral-rich pink salt in our diet to be healthy. I think it makes our food taste better also!

As Dr. Brownstein would say, Salt Your Way To Health!

]]> Cholesterol is an extremely important topic with many of my health counseling clients.

Many of them are (or have been) on cholesterol-lowering drugs, or have been told by their medical doctors to keep their cholesterol low. As I have researched this over the years, I have come to the exact opposite conclusion.

Cholesterol is necessary in our bodies for a healthy life, and there is a lot of false information out there regarding cholesterol.

In this article, I am going to address some important information concerning cholesterol that you may find helpful, and possibly even surprising.

First of all, what is cholesterol? We are told there is a “Bad” Cholesterol: LDL and a “Good” Cholesterol: HDL. According to Websters Dictionary, cholesterol is a fat-like substance C27H46O that is found in the cells, tissues, and body fluids of humans and animals. It serves as a component of cell membranes, and functions as a precursor of Vitamin D and steroid hormones (such as cortisol, estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone). Fats are converted to cholesterol in the liver. Some fats sources are meat, eggs, and dairy products.

According to Parkinson’s Resource Organization, “Some 25 million Americans take these so-called “wonder drugs” to lower their “bad” cholesterol levels, but is this popular class of pharmaceuticals actually safe? NOPE! There are over 900 studies proving the adverse effects of statin drugs, including anemia, chronic fatigue, acidosis, liver dysfunction, thyroid disruption, PARKINSON’S, Alzheimer’s, diabetes, and, yes … even CANCER! That’s right. The latest available science suggests that this supposedly artery-scouring miracle medication may significantly increase your risk of developing cancer.”

According to Dr. Lee Merritt, a Navy Spine Surgeon, the brain is almost totally made of cholesterol and so are our body’s nerves. She said she read some studies conducted on cholesterol and heart disease, and the studies revealed that there is absolutely NO connection with cholesterol and heart disease.(1)

A recent study showed that statins and other cholesterol drugs did not reduce the risk of heart disease after all. (2) “The researchers claim doctors have overlooked evidence that suggests the drug is not effective. Statins are routinely prescribed to people thought to be at risk of heart disease. The research overturns decades of medical advice that states the opposite.”

In an article, “What’s the Best Predictor of Heart Disease?“ by Dr. Joseph Mercola, he writes:

“Is high total cholesterol and/or elevated low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol indicative of elevated heart disease risk? According to Dr. Paul Saladino, the answer is no. With regard to total cholesterol, as far back as 1977, with the publication of the Framingham Study,1 no correlation between heart disease and total cholesterol could be found.

Low levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol was associated with coronary heart disease, but not high LDLs or total cholesterol. However, as noted by Saladino, low HDL is also associated with insulin resistance, and he believes this is part of the confusion.

Saladino suspects that what has been blamed on LDL (atherosclerosis) is due to insulin resistance, i.e., metabolic dysfunction. Insulin resistance/metabolic dysfunction, in turn, is primarily driven by excessive consumption of the omega-6 fat linoleic acid (LA).”

From my research, 350 was a normal cholesterol number before the pharmaceutical companies started creating these cholesterol-lowering drugs.

Dr. Stephanie Seneff, a senior researcher at MIT for 30 years has done extensive nutrition research concerning heart disease. She has spoken about cholesterol in many of the 8 shows she has been on with me. On my Organic Healthy Lifestyle podcast,  she shares her research that heart disease is not caused by high cholesterol, but by a sulfur and Vitamin D deficiency. She said that cholesterol needs sulfur and Vitamin D, in order to work in unison to heal the body, like a symphony. She said when the body is lacking sulfur, and Vitamin D, the cholesterol is isolated and is unable to do it’s healing work. She said it waits for it’s partners in the arteries around the heart, because that is the first place it goes with it’s partners to heal the body. Click here to listen to one of the shows where she discusses this.

Dr. Merritt also stated that she read in the book, “Grain Brain: The Surprising Truth About Wheat, Carbs, and Sugar – Your Brain’s Silent Killers” by David Perlmutter M.D., that a cholesterol reading below 340 can lead to dementia. (3)

In addition to that, a study published in Quantitative medicine, “Does Low Cholesterol Cause Alzheimer’s?“, found that having LOW cholesterol contributes to Alzheimer’s. (4)

“While recognized as one of the most commonly prescribed drugs, researchers are saying that statins and other cholesterol-lowering drugs may not reduce the risk of heart disease after all.”

That’s according to the British Medical Journal, following an analysis of 35 studies into the effects of the drugs, according to the Daily Mail. (5)

“Statins may not slash the risk of dying from heart disease: Controversial study claims the cheap cholesterol-busting pills offer no ‘consistent benefit. Scientists analysed 35 previous studies into the effects of the cheap drugs. Three quarters of trials reported no reduction in mortality among statin users. Statins are routinely prescribed to people thought to be at risk of heart disease.

Researchers systematically reviewed all published clinical trials comparing treatment with one of three types of cholesterol-lowering drugs – statins, ezetimibe and PCSK9, and found that the drugs have no consistent benefit.

Three-quarters of all trials reported no reduction in mortality among those on statins, with half suggesting that the pills did not prevent heart attacks or strokes, even though the common belief has been that targeting “bad” cholesterol with these drugs is the most effective way to lower risks of heart disease.”

As I learn more by discussing these things with Dr. Stephanie Seneff and other medical researchers, I have come to the conclusion that low cholesterol under 340 is dangerous to our health.

A quote from PUB MED study: Cholesterol: its regulation and role in central nervous system disorders (6)

“Cholesterol is a major constituent of the human brain, and the brain is the most cholesterol-rich organ. Numerous lipoprotein receptors and apolipoproteins are expressed in the brain. Cholesterol is tightly regulated between the major brain cells and is essential for normal brain development. The metabolism of brain cholesterol differs markedly from that of other tissues.

Brain cholesterol is primarily derived by de novo synthesis and the blood brain barrier prevents the uptake of lipoprotein cholesterol from the circulation.

Cholesterol is an important structural component of cellular membranes and myelin and a precursor of oxysterols, steroid hormones, and bile acids. Cholesterol is a major constituent of the human brain (with about 35 grams of cholesterol in an adult brain, and the brain is the most cholesterol-rich organ, containing about 20% of the body’s total cholesterol …

Cholesterol depletion leads to synaptic and dendritic spine degeneration, failed neurotransmission, and decreased synaptic plasticity. Cholesterol is a pivotal constituent of cell membranes, steroid hormones, and for the function of the hedgehog protein.

Defects in cholesterol metabolism lead to structural and functional central nervous system (CNS) diseases such as Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome], Niemann-Pick type C (NPC) disease, Huntington’s disease, and Alzheimer’s disease.”(6)

In addition, one study found that low cholesterol and low triglyceride levels can cause strokes in women.

“Conclusion: LDL-C levels <70 mg/dL and low triglyceride levels were associated with increased risk of hemorrhagic stroke among women.”(7)

Canada, England and Australia don’t see any evidence that dietary cholesterol has any significant impact on blood cholesterol and have no recommended cholesterol limits.

If that is not enough, a study published in Neurology, “Does low cholesterol increase your risk of nerve damage and hemorrhages?” with findings that suggests yes, low cholesterol can cause risk of nerve damage and homorrhages.(8)

So, if cholesterol is actually good for us, I am now going to expand on a cholesterol-rich food.

People tell me all the time that they are not eating eggs because of the cholesterol. They also tell me that they only eat egg whites or egg white omelets. I thought the same thing for a long time.

What I found out is that it is the “egg yolks” that contain an abundance of nutrition. Eggs contain cholesterol, and they also contain important B vitamins, unsaturated fats, sulphur, lutein and zeaxanthin (which contributes to eye health and a reduction of macular degeneration). Dr. Seneff says that organic pasture-raised egg yolks are like a complete vitamin. (9)

The egg whites have enzyme inhibitors, which for animals, like dogs, can cause serious health problems. So, for myself, I never eat egg whites without the egg yolk, and many times, I will eat the yolk and not the white. In my and Dr. Stephanie Seneff’s opinion, the egg yolk nutrients are heart healthy.

Cholesterol has held a bad reputation for many years, but an in-depth study by Harvard in 1999 found no connection with eggs and heart disease. So, for the majority of people, eggs may actually be good for their health.

When I was Larry Hagman’s personal chef/nutrition consultant, he had an organic omelet with baby spinach and some sliced fresh tomatoes almost every morning, along with a green smoothie. This made him feel fully satisfied longer.

Studies show that when people eat eggs for breakfast, that their meal is more sustaining. This may be due to the amount of protein and nutrition they provide. Thus, eggs may not only be good for your eye health, but also good for your waistline as well.

One more way to increase/improve your cholesterol in your body is to use pure organic coconut oil as your body lotion. The skin is the largest organ and the lotion will not only make your skin feel more smooth and less dry, it will also improve the cholesterol levels in your body.
What ever goes right on your skin, will get straight into the body in an effective way improving your overall health in many ways. I personally use cold-pressed, organic, pure coconut oil for cooking and for my body lotion.

In addition to this information, I will address one more subject regarding health and the heart. In an article, The Vast Overtreatment Of Blood Pressure, the doctor points out that there is a lack of scientific proof, and that most of the science used by the main stream medical in the US is flawed and in some cases, inacurate information, concerning blood pressure and cholesterol, so they can prescribe drugs to people, which can actually cause higher rates of death.

Dr. Mercola has two recent articles on Cholesterol that you might also like to read:
Why Is Low Blood Cholesterol Associated with Increased Late Life Mortality?
and  The Great Cholesterol Scam And The Dangers Of Statins.

In conclusion, research for yourself the importance of cholesterol in your diet, and decide what is best for you and your family. Always continue to strive for optimum health.

It is National Mushroom Month!

Many of you may be cooking outdoors this month. This is a great vegan/vegetarian version to serve plant-based diners. I used to take a portobello mushroom with me whenever I went to cookouts and I wanted to have something plant-based to eat with everyone. I have made this for many non-vegetarian Texans with great success, much to their surprise!

This was one of Larry Hagman’s (also known as J. R. Ewing, in the television show “Dallas”) favorite meals. I would make this for him when I was his chef & nutritionist, when he had throat cancer and diabetes. I had him on a very strict healthy diet, and I would serve this to him when he was craving something “meaty,” like a hamburger.

Mushrooms are nutrient-dense and have less calories than meat. They have also been found to prevent cancer.

According to a study conducted by The University of Western Australia in Perth, eating mushrooms daily may reduce breast cancer risk by nearly two thirds.

The study, conducted in China, looked at more than 2000 women, half of whom had suffered from breast cancer. Researchers found that the women who ate a third of an ounce of fresh mushrooms every day had lowered their risk of developing a tumor by 64 percent.(1)

Dried mushrooms didn’t have quite the same benefit, but still reduced the risk “by around half.”(2)

It is certainly great to have the reinforcement of knowledge that mushrooms are such a healthy food.

Portobello mushrooms contain a variety of B-complex vitamins (including vitamin B6, thiamine, and folate), are an excellent source of riboflavin, pantothenic acid, and niacin, as well as a very good source of thiamine. Protein (complex amino acids), selenium, lysine, zinc, copper , manganese, and iron are some additional benefits of eating this mushroom.

Portobello mushrooms are a great alternative to meat, because of their meaty texture and flavor.

The quantities in this recipe are enough for one person.

Ingredients:

1 large portobello mushroom

3 T. organic coconut liquid amino sauce or teriyaki sauce

1 whole, sprouted-grain hamburger bun or bread (I love the Ezekiel 4:9® Sprouted Whole Grain Sesame Burger Buns)

¼ cup sliced goat cheese (from goats that are grass-fed and humanely-raised, or you can use a vegan goat cheese)

Directions:

1. Brush off the mushroom and remove the stem. (Save the stem to cut up and use in a stir-fry or pasta dish later.)

2. Soak the mushroom in your choice of sauce for at least five minutes (although 30 minutes is even better).

3. Grill, or bake at 350°F, just until thoroughly warm, making sure it is moist with the amino sauce or teriyaki sauce.

4. Warm or toast bun.

5. Place the goat cheese (if using) on top of mushroom and leave in oven just a couple of minutes to soften the cheese.

6. Remove mushroom from grill or oven and place on bun.

7. Serve immediately.

Variations:

1. For a vegan version, you can use sliced avocado instead of goat cheese. It’s a really delicious addition to this sandwich.

2. You can add a few leaves of romaine lettuce, or tomato slices, or onion, but I found it is simply delicious just with the goat cheese.

Fresh organic, non-GMO produce is part of a healthy eating plan and lifestyle. It can be a waste of money if it goes bad before we have a chance to eat it. So, let’s make our organic produce for optimum health be more budget friendly.

Storing it properly is important. We go to the store and buy delicious-looking food. But then we get home and end up storing it improperly, or we get busy and forget about it. Then we find our refrigerator having the aroma of over-ripe or rotting fruits and vegetables. One way we can spend less AND eat healthier is by storing our fresh food properly.

Many times we go to the store and see all of the beautiful fresh fruits and vegetables in season and on sale, and we over buy. So, first try to only buy what you truly feel you are going to eat in the next few days. Don’t try to buy produce to last for a week. It may not last that long. Some root vegetables can last a month if stored properly, but fresher, more fragile fruits and vegetables will only last about 2-5 days. If you do buy too much, you can think about making a pie, or doing some canning, or freezing some of your more fragile fruits and vegetables before they spoil.

Always store your food in its complete wholeness. According to food scientist Barry Swanson at Washington State University, if you pull fruits and vegetables apart, you have broken the cells, and microorganisms will immediately begin to grow. Avoid breaking the skin and leave the stem intact.

He also says you should never place fruits and vegetables in airtight bags. That actually will speed up the decay. Be mindful that mold will proliferate quickly in airtight bags and can spoil the whole group of fruits or vegetables. Toss out any spoiled produce immediately, or put it into your compost bin.

Next, make sure you are storing the various types of fruits and vegetables with the right partners. Some give off high levels of ethylene gas (a ripening agent), which makes them and everything around them ripen or decay quickly. You want to keep these types of foods separate from each other.

Put things like kale and spinach in the same bin, and peaches and apples in another. If you put fruit with greens, it will cause the greens to rot or turn yellow in a few days. Greens are very sensitive to the ethylene gas.

I have a little product called a BluApple Produce Saver. It keeps fruits and vegetables fresh longer in your refrigerator crisper, shelves, and fruit bowls. The Bluapple will last up to 3 months. It’s an ethylene gas absorber, is BPA-free, and is made in the USA.
I just put it in my bin with the fruits and/or greens.

Of course, if you need something to ripen faster, then you can use this knowledge to your advantage. You can put the fruit or vegetable you need to ripen with a fruit that gives off the highest level of ethylene gas.

I also use produce Greenbags by Debbie Meyer. They will absorb ethylene gas and help your produce stay fresher longer.

Keep root vegetables (including all kinds of potatoes) in a cool, dark, dry place. They can last up to a month if kept properly. Never store potatoes in the refrigerator, because they will develop a much higher sugar content.

Here is a list of fruits and vegetables, showing the best way to store them. These are high ethylene producers, and you can refrigerate them: apples, apricots, avocados, blueberries, cantaloupe, cherimoyas, cranberries, figs, green onions, guavas, grapes, honeydew, kiwifruit, mangoes, nectarines, papayas, passion fruit, peaches, pears, persimmons, plums, prunes, quince, and tomatoes.

The banana is a high releaser, and should be stored in a cool dark place outside of the refrigerator.

The following fruits and vegetables are very sensitive to ethylene gas: asparagus, bananas (unripe), blackberries, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, chard, cucumbers, eggplant, endive, garlic, green beans, kale, leafy greens, leeks, lettuce, okra, onions, parsley, peas, peppers, raspberries, spinach, squash, strawberries, watercress, and watermelon. Keep them separate from the high ethylene gas-producing foods.

Mushrooms should be stored in a dry paper bag or breathable container and put in a cool place. I’ve been told to gently brush them off to clean them before preparing them for consumption.

Try to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables that have been ripened on the vine or on the tree. Tree or vine-ripened foods contain salvestrols, which are compounds that have natural anti-cancer properties.(1)

In fact, the word salvestrol comes from the Latin word “save.” So, growing your own food or buying from a local farmer is one way of getting food that is vine or tree-ripened. Food that is picked green and then ripened on the way to market does not contain these salvestrols.

Organic food is best, because it is more nutrient dense. Chemical fertilizers and pesticides can destroy nutrients in the soil, like sulfur, chromium, minerals,and probiotics, which are vital for our health.

“The Organic Center study found that organic foods were more nutritionally dense in 61% of the cases” and they “found conventional foods to contain higher nitrates, which are widely considered a potential health hazard.” (2)

Farmers’ markets are one of the oldest forms of direct marketing by small farmers. The fresh, organic produce is local, in season, less expensive, fresher, and it’s fun to meet your local farmers. Find a local farmer’s market near you with Local Harvest. Click here for the Local Harvest link.

With all the fresh fruits and vegetables enticing us from their bins at the farmer’s market or grocery store, now we can make those delicious meals with our properly stored produce!

Bon Appétit!

]]> These are easy and delicious. The first time I made this recipe was when I needed a quick lunch to take with me on an airplane. This is a great finger food and makes a terrific appetizer.
Children love to help you create these!

Ingredients

2 nori sheets
1 cup Nut Pâté (see recipe below)
1–2 avocados, seeded, peeled, and sliced
1 carrot, julienned
1⁄2 cup sprouts (sunflower or broccoli)
1⁄2 cup coconut aminos or organic soy sauce for dipping (unpasteurized, organic)
1⁄4 cup wasabi (optional as a condiment to serve with it)
1⁄4 cup pickled ginger (optional as a condiment to serve with it)

Directions

1. Lay out a nori sheet (shiny side down) on a flat surface or a bamboo sushi mat that can roll up.
2. Spread half of the Nut Pâté on the nori sheet in a thick layer, leaving about a half-inch border around the outside edge.
3. Lay half of the avocado slices lengthwise over Nut Pâté.
4. Lay half of the carrots lengthwise in a thick layer on the avocado.
5. Lay half of the sprouts on the carrots and avocado in an even layer.
6. Take the end of the nori sheet closest to you and start rolling it away from you.
7. When you get to the end, seal the edge with a little water to make it stick.
8. Slice the roll into about 1-inch-thick portions. Repeat with the second nori sheet and the rest of the Nut Pâté, avocado, carrots, and sprouts.
9. Dip in soy sauce and enjoy with wasabi and/or pickled ginger.

Notes:
1. The nori will cut easier if you use a very sharp knife.
2.Avocado is one of the two main ingredients in the recipe, so use a half or a whole avocado for each roll.
3. You can substitute the nut pate with a nut butter of choice.

Nut Pâté

This is an easy, rich, and savory snack or appetizer. I use it as a filling for my Nori Rolls with Nut Pâté (the recipe is in my “How To Be A Healthy Vegetarian” book). You could also serve this with crackers or with chopped vegetables as a dip.

Start this recipe a day ahead of time, so you can soak the nuts in water to remove the phytic acid, or buy already sprouted nuts.

Ingredients

2 cups sprouted pecans, (soaked 12–18 hours in pure, non-chlorinated water, drained and dried in a dehydrator or in an oven on low heat below 110 degrees, never use a microwave)
1 red bell pepper, cored, seeded, and chopped
2 large stalks celery, chopped
2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
1 tsp. unrefined sea salt

Directions

1. Combine all ingredients in a food processor.
2. Add a little water if necessary.

Variations:

1. Use walnuts in place of the pecans.
2. Use lime juice instead of lemon juice.

Summer is a wonderful time of the year, and we want to enjoy it to the fullest. In order to do this we should be careful to avoid poison ivy, poison oak, bug bites, jellyfish stings, or getting sunburned.

Here are a few natural remedies that may help you have a smooth sailing summer of fun!

While summer is the optimal time for showing off toned skin, shorts, and swim suit attire, it’s the absolute worst for bug bites, sunburns, and itchy rashes.

Whether it is a mosquito or beach flea, some of these bites can be downright painful. They can also itch so much, that you almost want to scratch the skin off, which can create scars and wounds.

Stop skin blunders from ruining the way you feel or look with any of the following natural skin relief supplements and treatments.

Take Vitamin B Complex daily. My friend Jane and I got bitten by some type of tiny bugs in Florida. We found out from the locals, that if you take a daily dose of Vitamin B Complex, that they won’t bite you. We tried it and it works! So, make certain to always take your Vitamin B Complex daily to help avoid bug-bites. I don’t know if this works for all bugs, but it certainly won’t hurt taking it and if it helps, then that is wonderful!

Mosquitoes don’t normally bite through loose-fitting clothing, so this is another good preventative measure. Mosquitoes are attracted to dark colors, while wasps and bees are attracted to light, bright, floral colors.

Non-Toxic, Anti-Bug-Bite Recipe

A bug-bite deterrent that is easy to make yourself is made from a blend of one or more of the following ingredients.

Choose one or two of these organic essential oils (2 tsp. total oil):
Lavender essential oil
Rosemary essential oil
Juniper essential oil
Lemon essential oil
1 cup of 180 proof grain alcohol (you can buy this at a liquor store, or you can also use pure water if you don’t have alcohol.)

Directions:
Combine a total of 2 tsp. of essential oil with 1 cup of 180 proof grain alcohol.
Place it in a bottle with a tight-fitting lid. (You can also put it in a spray bottle to easily spray on your skin before going outdoors.) Shake well.
Test it on a small patch of skin first to make sure you are not sensitive to the oil and alcohol. If you are alright with the test, use it on your skin to avoid bites.

If you are already bitten and you are itching and wanting to scratch the pain away, here are a few remedies.

1. Rub aloe vera (either freshly cut or from a bottle) on bites and stings to ease burning.
2. Get relief from itches by applying a few drops of lavender oil or tea tree oil to the affected area as needed.

Extreme Itching

Recently I was bitten by some kind of small bug in Florida. I was absolutely miserable. I thought the itching was never going to stop. I was not sure where I received the bites, or if they were even all the same type of bug bite. It seemed to get worse a few days later and it wasn’t stopping. I was overwhelmed with the itching.

I now use food-grade hydrogen peroxide on all of these hurtful bites, whatever they are. I dab the food-grade hydrogen peroxide on the itching spots with a cotton swab or a cotton ball.

This solution will oxygenate the bite or itchy spot and kill any parasite that may be inside the skin, and also oxygenate and destroy any infection in the bite. Putting the food-grade hydrogen peroxide on the skin where you are itching can hurt a lot, so I would apply the hydrogen peroxide in the bathroom, immediately before getting into the shower to scrub with soap (like a tea tree oil soap) and a body brush. It is very effective and can stop the extreme itching quickly.

You may need to do this each day, until you are sure it has stopped the itch, killed the parasite, or stopped the infection. With much relief, you can be on the road to healing.

I order food-grade hydrogen peroxide through the internet. It is extremely strong. I order 12% and 35% food-grade hydrogen peroxide, and I keep it in my refrigerator at all times.

You will need to be very careful when handling this and keep it out of the reach of children. You may want to use normal over-the-counter (3% grade) hydrogen peroxide, but the food-grade is much stronger (35%) and purer, and I prefer it. You can water it down a bit, if it’s too strong for you.

I love using food-grade hydrogen peroxide for many things. The Global Healing Center has an excellent article on it’s many holistic healing methods of use. https://explore.globalhealing.com/food-grade-hydrogen-peroxide/

The brand I just purchased is from the website Into The Garden Of Eden. Keep it well labeled and in a cool, dark place, so it maintains it’s strength longer.

Bone Alignment

Another thing to know is that if the backbone is out of alignment, it can cause extreme itching. If the atlas bone at the top of the spine is out of alignment, that can cause extreme itching in the upper arms. (Just on a side note, if the atlas bone is out of alignment, that can also be misdiagnosed as a stroke in elderly people and MS in younger people.)

I personally go regularly to my chiropractor to maintain my alignment. My chiropractor, Dr. Michael Hall, is also a neurologist, and he has treated me on a regular basis for over 18 years. Chiropractors all have different techniques, so find one that is best for you.

Poison Ivy or Poison Oak

Once I went with my husband to hike in the woods with our dog. Our dog was running around in the woods and got poison ivy on his fur. I was petting him and brushing off the sticker burrs, and unknowingly got the poison ivy from his fur.

I used tea tree oil on the poison ivy and it was almost gone the next day. I used tea tree oil shampoo on the dog also.

A few years later, one of our house remodeling contractors had a terrible case of poison ivy. He had used cortisone, medicines from the doctor, and everything he could think of for more than four months. He was absolutely miserable. I gave him my tea tree oil to try. The next day, he came back absolutely astounded at how well it had worked. His poison ivy was gone in a matter of days.

I have found that putting on food-grade hydrogen peroxide first, then washing it with soap and water, and then putting on the tea tree oil, is even more effective. This combination of food-grade hydrogen peroxide followed by tea tree oil also works extremely well for poison oak and fire ant bites as well. I use this combination of hydrogen peroxide followed by the tea tree oil on any itchy place, bite, or rash. It is especially good for bites that have a fluid in them.

Tea tree oil has antibacterial properties. It is not supposed to be used on an open wound. I used it on a large swollen bite my son had on his back. It was the middle of the night and we were staying in a remote hotel built into the side of a mountain in Greece, with no medical care nearby. I didn’t know what to do, so I kept putting tea tree oil on it. The following day, the swelling had gone down to half, and by the next day, it was almost completely gone. We were so thankful.

Another use for tea tree oil is for chicken pox. My son got chicken pox when he was four. He is a redhead and has very sensitive skin. I put tea tree oil directly on each spot all over his body. I thought it would help him not to itch or scratch. In the morning, his chicken pox outbreak was gone, with no scars, no itching, and no complications. It was amazing. His doctor was completely astonished, as was his preschool teacher. I have used it on just about everything ever since. In my opinion, the New Zealand variety of tea tree oil smells better than the Australian type, but both work really well.

You can also use aloe vera leaf gel on the rash to soothe and promote healing.

Baths

Organic oatmeal baths are good for calming us down, as well as encouraging the healing of any skin irritations. Use 1/2 to 1 cup raw uncooked organic oatmeal in the bath, and soak for about 20 minutes.

Wheat grass juice baths and bentonite clay baths are also both helpful to detoxify the skin and heal irritations. You can get wheat grass powder and bentonite clay powder for baths at the health food store. Just follow the directions on the package.

Jelly Fish Stings

If you go to the beach a jellyfish sting can really hurt. If you have a lemon or lime, rub the cut fruit on the place that hurts. The citrus can help take the pain out. (An out of the ordinary remedy that also works, would be to use urine on the sting.)

Natural Sun Protection

I personally do not wear sunscreen and I don’t recommend it at all. Sunscreens reportedly reduce Vitamin D3 levels in the blood by up to 99 percent.(1)

What do you do about preventing sunburn if you need to be outside for long periods of time? Stay in the shade when you can, and wear protective clothing and a hat. According to Dr. Elizabeth Plourde, sunscreens have carcinogenic ingredients and hormone disrupters that should be avoided: oxtinoxate, octisalate, oxybenzone, homosalate, avobenzone, and retinyl palmitate (a form of Vitamin A).

Check all sunscreens for these ingredients. They absorb easily through the skin and are toxic when combined with sun exposure.

Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide have been called safe, and reportedly do not penetrate the skin. But, Dr. Plourde said that her research shows her that none of them are safe. Micronized metals will penetrate the skin and enter the blood stream, resulting in cancer and tumors.

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is a known carcinogen. Dr. Elizabeth Plourde, in her research paper “Exposing the Hazards of Sunscreen,” says there is concern that “sunscreen chemicals should be examined in relation to rising autism rates.”(2)

In her work she states that “Sunscreens are endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDC’s) or TiO2 or ZnO nanoparticles. Current research shows these are toxic to all life.”(3) To learn more, you can read Dr. Plourde’s book “Sunscreens – Biohazard: Treat As Hazardous Waste.“

Drinking carrot juice, and eating carrots, sweet potatoes, or tomato sauce is a natural way to protect yourself from too much sun during the summer. The beta-carotene and lycopene in these vegetables gives the body some natural sun protection.

You can also wear thick clothing that covers your skin but doesn’t contain chemicals. Clothing treated with chemicals such as titanium or zinc oxide will break down in the wash, enter the water supply, and create hazards to the ecosystem.

So, whenever you are outside, get some natural Vitamin D, put on some natural bug protection, wear natural clothing to protect yourself from too much sun, eat beta-carotene-rich foods, and get into the shade if you feel you have been out too long.

Enjoy your sunshine, nature, exercise, and fresh air!

I hope these healthy tips help make your outdoor adventures safer and more enjoyable!

I grew up enjoying Waldorf Salad with my family. It always reminds me of my mother. It was one of her favorites.
My mother would lovingly make this salad for many of our
Sunday dinners. In honor of Mother’s Day that is coming up next week. I thought I would share this recipe with you.

My father would frequently make the mayonnaise used in
the dressing. Homemade mayonnaise is actually quite easy
to make. You simply must do it very slowly.
Following this recipe for the Waldorf Salad, I am including
my recipe for homemade mayonnaise.

Ingredients

2 red apples, diced
1 T. fresh lemon juice
½ c. walnuts, chopped
1 stalk celery, diced
½ c. raisins
1 T. mayonnaise
Pinch of mineral-rich salt

Directions

1. Toss apples with lemon juice.
2. Combine apples, walnuts, celery, and raisins.
3. Add mayonnaise, and mix to combine.
4. Season with sea salt.

Variation
You can substitute Greek yogurt for mayonnaise.

Notes
1. Don’t peel the apples. The skin contains lots of the nutrients.

2. Tossing the apple with lemon juice keeps the apple from turning brown.

This recipe is vegetarian and gluten-free
Serving size: 2 servings

Homemade Mayonnaise

This recipe makes about 3/4 cup mayonnaise.

Ingredients

1 large egg yolk

1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon white wine vinegar

1/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1/2 teaspoon mineral rich salt

3/4 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Directions

1. Combine egg yolk, lemon juice, vinegar, mustard, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in medium bowl and whisk it until it’s blended and bright yellow, about 30 seconds.

2. Whisking constantly, add 1/4 cup oil to yolk mixture, in an increment of a quarter teaspoon at a time, which will take about 4 minutes. (The oil must be added extremely slowly and in very small amounts or it won’t work properly.)

3. Gradually add the remaining 1/2 cup oil in a VERY SLOW thin stream, whisking constantly, until the mayonnaise becomes thick. This will take about 8 minutes (mayonnaise will be lighter in color).

4. Cover and chill the mayonnaise. I would do this ahead of the time you are wishing to use it. It can be made up to 2 days ahead of time. Keep it chilled

Variations

1. You can use a blender instead of a whisk. Blend it on low. Drizzle the oil in very slowly as you add it.

2. You can use avocado oil instead of Extra-Virgin Olive oil.

I have resources and recipes in my cookbooks.

]]> The amazing healing benefits of wheatgrass were brought to the public’s attention by Dr. Ann Wigmore in The Wheatgrass Book:
How to Grow and Use Wheatgrass to Maximize Your Health and Vitality.

When I started learning about cleansing approximately 30 years ago,
I learned about the positive effects that grasses have on our body.
I learned about barley grass as well as wheatgrass. The chlorophyll-rich grasses have enormous amounts of antioxidants and are highly alkalizing. There are so many benefits from consuming juice that has been freshly extracted from grasses.

Here are some of the benefits of wheatgrass juice, according to Dr. Ann Wigmore:

1. When externally applied to the skin, it can help eliminate itching almost immediately.
2. It can soothe sunburned skin and act as a disinfectant.
3, When rubbed into the scalp before a shampoo, it can help mend damaged hair and alleviate itchy, scaly scalp conditions.
4. It can soothe and heal cuts, burns, scrapes, rashes, poison ivy, athlete’s foot, insect bites, boils, sores, open ulcers, tumors, and so on. (Use as a poultice and replace every two to four hours.)
5. When consumed, it can return gray hair to its natural color and act as a beauty treatment.
6. Drinking wheatgrass juice will cleanse your blood and help rejuvenate aging cells, slowing the aging process down, and making you feel more alive right away. It will help tighten loose and sagging skin.
7. It can lessen the effects of radiation. One enzyme found in wheatgrass, SOD, lessens the effects of radiation and acts as an anti-inflammatory compound that may prevent cellular damage following heart attacks or exposure to irritants.
8. Consuming wheatgrass can restore fertility and promote youthfulness.
9. Wheatgrass can be used as a sleep aid. Place a tray of living wheatgrass near the head of your bed. It will enhance the oxygen in the air and generate healthful negative ions to help you sleep more soundly.
10. When gargled, it can sweeten the breath, and firm and tighten gums. [i]

Many health clinics in the United States today (like the Ann Wigmore Foundation and Retreat Center, Hippocrates Institute, and the Tree of Life, just to name a few) use wheatgrass as a mainstay of their healing programs.

The grass is high in antioxidants, oxygenates the blood, and is nutrient-dense. It is such an easy and simple healing modality.

The post Detoxification, Your Health, And Having A Healthy Weight appeared first on Organic Healthy Life - Nancy Addison - Nutrition.

]]> We are coming out of winter and it’s almost spring…a perfect time to get a jump-start on spring cleaning your body! There are many reasons to clean out the inside of your body on a regular basis. Clean cells and a clean body, inside and out, are the secret to having more energy, looking younger, and having a stronger immune system.

We need to cleanse because we acquire toxins in our bodies on a regular basis. In today’s world, an estimated one billion humans are exposed regularly to environmental toxins.

We live in a world that is literally saturated with toxins. We can absorb toxins by breathing in polluted air, taking showers or drinking chlorinated tap water, eating foods when we don’t know their source or preparation method, being exposed to pesticides, toxic cleaning fluids, dry-cleaning fluids, or pest control fluids, and wearing new, unwashed clothing. Over one billion humans are exposed to high levels of toxic metals and metalloids in the environment.

Some common symptoms of being toxic (and being in need of a detoxification cleanse) are: constipation, gas and bloating, diarrhea, back pain, joint and muscle pain, irritable bowel syndrome, allergies, insatiable hunger, itchy ears, nose, or anus, unpleasant sensations in the stomach, nervousness, grumpiness, chronic fatigue, lethargy or apathy, various skin problems, problems sleeping, nutritional deficiencies or anemia, problems with the immune system, teeth grinding or clenching, weight gain, forgetfulness, and blurry vision.

One of the most damaging toxins that we are exposed to is mercury. Mercury toxicity is more common than most people realize. (This is especially true for people who eat seafood or salt taken from today’s polluted oceans.) Mercury is a neurotoxin, and you can get toxicity from energy saving light bulbs (these emit a toxic mercury vapor into the air that we breathe), seafood (tuna and swordfish are particularly high in mercury), vaccines, some body care products, water, and dental amalgam fillings.

Studies show that mercury, even in small amounts, can damage the central nervous system causing irritability, fatigue, mood swings, behavioral problems, tremors, headaches, hearing loss, dysarthria, incoordination, hallucinations, loss of peripheral vision, “pins and needles” feelings, usually in the hands, feet, and around the mouth, lack of coordination of movements, ringing in your ears, insomnia, and even death.

If you have you been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, MS, fibromyalgia, Autism, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) or Lou Gehrig’s disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, or a brain tumor, you may actually have mercury poisoning.

Mercury can damage the brain, kidneys, liver and central nervous system. Infants and children are particularly vulnerable to the toxic effects of mercury.

Mercury affects male children at a higher rate than females.

Mercury in the cardiovascular system, “even in low doses can cause hypertension and alterations in endothelial function.”

Frequently people tell me that they can’t lose weight no matter what they do. This can be because the body is holding onto toxins by surrounding them with fat cells. This happens when the body gets overloaded with toxins. In order to protect the body from the toxins, it surrounds them with fat to protect itself from their harmful effects. Until you can detoxify the body, the body will hold onto those protective layers of fat.

When you do a detoxification cleanse, many people find that they are able to lose weight. This is because the body no longer has a need for that fat it was protecting you with.

Additionally, our bodies become acidic through stress and the foods we eat. These toxins and acids hurt our bodies deep within our cells. How can the body have a clean liver, blood, or lymphatic system if it is filled with toxins, acid, and waste? A clean intestinal system and frequent, thorough bowel movements are key elements of a truly healthy system.

We absorb most of our nutrients though the intestinal wall. If it is clean, we are able to absorb the nutrients. If it is not clean but is instead full of waste and rancid debris, then the body won’t get the nutrients it needs. Dr. Anthony Bassler, a gastroenterologist, said, “Every physician should realize the intestinal toxemias (poisons) are the most important primary and contributing cause of many disorders and diseases of the body.”

We also need to cleanse because our intestines can become thick with plaque over time. This “mucoid plaque” can result from consuming foods like milk, wheat, and meat. It can be thick and rubbery. It can even look a little like a rope when it exits out of the body.

In the book Tissue Cleansing through Bowel Management, Dr. Bernard Jensen, DC, ND, PhD addresses this: “The heavy mucus coating in the colon thickens and becomes a host of putrefaction. The blood capillaries to the colon begin to pick up the toxins, poisons, and noxious debris as it seeps through the bowel wall. All tissues and organs of the body are now taking on toxic substances. Here is the beginning of true autointoxication on a physiological level.

One autopsy revealed a colon to be 9 inches in diameter with a passage through it no larger than a pencil. The rest was caked up layer upon layer of encrusted fecal material. This accumulation can have the consistency of truck tire rubber. It’s that hard and black. Another autopsy revealed a stagnant colon to weigh in at an incredible 40 pounds.

Dr. Richard Anderson, ND, NMD addresses the subject of plaque as well. Dr. Anderson, an expert on colon cleansing, wrote Cleanse and Purify Thyself, Volumes 1 & 2. In an article on colon plaque, he says: The phrase, “mucoid plaque” is a coined term that I use to describe various conditions found throughout the body, especially in hollow organs and the alimentary canal. It is a substance that the body naturally creates under unnatural conditions, such as attacks from acids, drugs, heavy metals, and toxic chemicals.

Professional cleanses, like colonics or enemas, can remove this old leftover waste and plaque from the intestinal tract.

The good news is that there are really effective cleanses that can help you safely remove these toxins from your body. I recommend cleansing for a minimum of 10 days and as long as 21 days to detoxify the body and adjust its pH on a regular basis. This will keep the inner environment of the body’s digestive system cleaner, healthier, and able to support a vibrant immune system.

Along with this comes an additional benefit. A major part of the body’s happiness chemical, serotonin, is synthesized in the gastrointestinal tract. It is no wonder people feel happier and better when their bowels are clean and functioning in the most optimal way! I do a month-long cleanse every January to start off the New Year fresh and renewed after too much holiday party munching.

Each time you cleanse, it will get easier. Eventually, or maybe very quickly, you will see a difference in how you feel.

“Chemical Free Body” makes a nice, easy cleanse that is incredibly effective for cleansing the liver. This 100% naturally occurring formula by Chemical Free Body is made with special, heavy metal free Zeolites and a powerful Herbal Blend which can support your body’s natural elimination of toxic Chemicals, Heavy Metals, Radiation, Synthetic Estrogens and Free-Radicals.

I do this Chemical Free Body cleanse every 3 months and I recommend it to my clients. This is literally a detox and nutrition clinic in a box. Look at each product as a tool in your health
tool-kit doing a necessary job to clean and nourish your body. GREEN 85 replaces the roughly 85% of nutrients in the soil so your cells have the building blocks to give you energy and repair themselves. GUT DETOX gently removes the 6-12 pounds of unwanted waste matter lining the digestive tract. TOXIN DETOX helps to remove heavy metals, radiation and toxic chemicals from the blood, fat & muscle tissue. PROBIOTICS & PREBIOTICS helps to colonize your gut bacteria to help with digestion and boost immunity and mental clarity. ULTRA ENZYMES help assist the breakdown of heavy foods while supplying necessary minerals to the nutrient deficient foods we consume and helping the rehabilitation process of gut action.

The two things I think are most lacking in the American diet are good types of fiber and chlorophyll-rich green foods. This detox cleanse has both. Quite simply, it is made up of healthy food that most people lack in their normal everyday diet.

The nutrients will feed your body, as well as flush and pull toxins and acids out of your cells. The fiber will absorb these toxins and expand like a sponge. You will then drink a lot of water, which will create a cleaning effect. Along with the sponge-like fiber, the toxic particles, plaque, and other debris that might be lodged in the intestines will be dragged out.

Each time you cleanse, it will clean out a little more. Think of the layers of an onion. When you start, you will get one layer, and the next time, you will get the next layer. You may eventually find this is a good part of your daily or weekly routine. I do a cleanse a few times a week, year-round, as a normal part of my life/diet.

All food should be efficiently digested, its nutrients absorbed, and its waste eliminated. If you are eating three times per day, then you should be having bowel movements three times per day. The more fiber you ingest, the easier and more efficiently the waste will be eliminated. There is not a set time period for this, but ideally it should be anywhere from 3–12 hours after each meal.

You can test your digestive function by eating a meal of raw or slightly steamed red beets. The deep red color in the bowel movement will allow you to see when that meal is eliminated. This is an easy way to see if your body is eliminating quickly and efficiently.

If you feel uncomfortable and are not having bowel movements, you may want to get a colonic series to help get your system cleaned out and moving again.

Drink lots of water, and fresh green organic vegetable juices to keep the toxins, acid, and waste moving out of the body. This is so important! These cleanses are cleaning out the inside of your body. With the removal of the plaque, waste, and debris, you will also be alkalizing your body with the super detox foods.

You will have to make a personal decision about the length of your cleanse. Many holistic physicians think 21 days is the best length.
You may want to consult me or your holistic physician before starting a cleanse, or do the cleanse under his or her guidance.

I am hosting a wellness retreat in Round Top, Texas April 10-14.

I am also planning to host some wellness retreats in Costa Rica, beginning this summer 2023. So, come join me for some adventures in food, wellness, peace, and a healthy environment! Watch for details in future newsletters.

The post Chocolate Candy Bark Recipe With Nuts And Fruit – Gluten-free appeared first on Organic Healthy Life - Nancy Addison - Nutrition.

I recently returned from Costa Rica, where cacao is grown, and I brought back some organic cacao and some organic raw, sprouted nuts. I decided to make some dark chocolate candy bark with them to celebrate Valentine’s Day. This is easy to do, and my daughter and I thought it turned out absolutely scrumptious. I used raw, sprouted, chopped almonds, brazil nuts, and pumpkin seeds in this particular recipe, but pistachios or pecans (or other nuts or seeds you like), would also be delicious.

Studies indicate that consuming small amounts of dark (at least 70 percent cacao) chocolate on a regular basis can lower blood pressure and decrease the chance of a stroke. Dark chocolate may also protect brain health and boost memory.

Sprouted nuts and seeds are easier to digest by removing their enzyme inhibitors. Raw sprouted nuts and seeds are rich with vitamins and minerals and contribute to this delicious healthy dessert treat. I sometimes sprout my own nuts and seeds by soaking them overnight in pure water, then drying them in the sun or in my dehydrator to make them crunchy again.

You can also purchase already sprouted organic nuts and seeds at many stores or you can also order them on-line. Some brands to look for are: Go Raw, Living Intentions, and Living Nutz.

Here is an easy recipe for Chocolate Candy (this type of candy is frequently called “Bark”) that you can use as a guide, and use your own choice of fruits, nuts, and seeds.

Ingredients

2 cups dark Chocolate Chips (70% cacao would be the healthiest choice) You can also use a mixture of types of different types of chocolates, if dark chocolate is not something you like.

1 cup chopped sprouted nuts and seeds (almonds, brazil nuts, and pumpkin seeds are good choices) I chopped about 3/4 cup of the seeds and nuts very finely (in my coffee bean grinder) to mix into the chocolate. Chop 1/4 cup of the nuts less finely to add on top as a finish to your chocolate.

3/4 cup dried fruit of choice (I used tart cherries, but cranberries, apricots, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, pineapple, and mango are also good choices.)

1/2 tsp. mineral-rich salt

2 T. pure unprocessed coconut oil

Nutty & Fruity Chocolate Candy Bark Gluten-free Recipe, by Nancy Addison, organic Healthy life

Directions

1. Use a double boiler to melt your chocolate chips with the coconut oil and salt, until they are melted. I recommend stirring it as you melt this combination, so the mixture becomes creamy. You want to stir the chocolate until the chocolate is really smooth. If you need to, you can use a hand mixer.

2. Remove from heat and stir in 3/4 cup of your finely chopped nuts and half of your chopped dried fruit into your melted chocolate mixture.

4. Spread the chocolate nut and fruit mixture onto a lightly coconut-oiled or buttered parchment paper on a freezer safe pan or baking dish.

5. Sprinkle with the remaining nuts, seeds, and dried fruit.

6. Refrigerate or freeze until firm.

7. Cut or break into pieces.

8. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

]]> Sleep is a vital part of our lives and our well-being, but sleep can become a problem in today’s fast-paced world.

More and more people of all ages have told me how they either have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep. As we get older, we don’t produce as much melatonin, which is the hormone that helps us sleep. If we don’t have enough melatonin, our body will pull it from our serotonin reserve in order to make it. You can buy melatonin as a supplement at the store. It comes in different strengths (one to three milligrams).

Dr. Gary Massad has researched melatonin and sleep problems in depth. He told me that the studies show that if you take half a milligram of melatonin around three in the afternoon, and another half milligram about an hour before bedtime, it will work most effectively. If a melatonin supplement is taken, it saves our reserves of serotonin, which affects our mood. If you aren’t draining your melatonin reserves, you will have more serotonin to help with sustaining positive moods.

Melatonin works much better with ample Vitamin B in your system. If you are concerned about Vitamin B, take a good whole-food Vitamin B complex supplement. Some medical experts think that a Vitamin B spray under the tongue is the best type of supplement source, because it is absorbed more effectively. Vitamin B’s are water-soluble and need to be replenished daily.

Hormone imbalances (specifically low progesterone) can also disrupt our sleep patterns. Have your doctor check you for a hormone imbalance, or an adrenal or vitamin deficiency.

In the last two years, I have been using a marvelous new technology that activates and elevates the body’s copper peptide
GHK-cu (copper) peptide, and It’s called the X 39. This peptide resets 4000 genes to a younger state, helps repair collagen in all tissues, activates stem cell production, encourages apoptosis of cancer cells and discourages metastatic cancer cells. Using X39 people have better sleep, less pain and less inflammation.

This company also makes a wonderful “Silent Night” patch, that many of my clients are using at night to get a better, deeper nights sleep. Some of my clients said they have been told they are not snoring any longer also.

Experiment to find out what works best for you. In fact, what works for you might change from time to time.

What Can Help You Sleep?

· Exercise daily and breathe deeply.

· Make the bedroom a place of peace and tranquility, with as little EMF (electromagnetic field) disturbance, noise, and light as possible. (I sleep on a grounding bottom sheet now. It’s amazing how I fall asleep so quickly now and sleep so soundly. I highly recommend them. I wake up feeling so rested and refreshed.)

· Write down a list of things you must do tomorrow. (This will get all of those thoughts out of your brain about the next day.)

· Think calming thoughts that are positive, uplifting, and filled with gratitude and thankfulness for 20 minutes right before bedtime. (You might write down five things that you are grateful for, or five miracles that happened to you or your child today, or five things that you want to happen tomorrow).

· Stay hydrated. Drink healthy, hydrating fluids during the day, but don’t drink too much right before bed. Then you won’t have a need to get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom.

· Try a sleep CD to help relax the mind and body. You might also listen to recorded sounds of rain or ocean waves to help with sleep. They can relax your mind.

· There is a technology company that makes non-transdermal patches. I use them, and there is specific patch for better sleep.  It is called Silent Night. I have been wearing these patches for the past year and a half.
I noticed almost immediately that I was sleeping more soundly and I even began to have positive vivid dreams. If you wish to know more, click here to see how patches with phototherapy works. (Contact me (214-202-9243 and text me first), if you wish to know more.)

· I suggest you try to eat lighter at dinner, and give yourself at least three hours between your meal and bed. If your body has to digest and process food, then it has to work hard, and it’s not able to rest and restore. Give your body a break and have some soup for dinner or a light vegetarian meal. It would help to make your breakfast and lunch the main meals of the day.

· If digestion is an issue, lie down on your left side for about 20 minutes. According to Ayurveda healing tradition, when we sleep on the left side, our lymphatic system drains more efficiently, our heart beats more smoothly, our spleen function is supported, our bile flows easier, and because of gravity, our food moves more effortlessly from the small intestine to the large intestine. When you lie on the left side, the stomach and pancreas hang naturally, allowing for optimal and efficient digestion. That is good advice comes from an old Ayurvedic remedy.
If your body is acidic, try drinking a ½ teaspoon of baking soda in a glass of water to neutralize the acid. I add a pinch of unrefined, mineral-rich sea salt to this as well. What an easy, inexpensive solution!

· There are some sleep enhancing food and beverages. Drink herbal teas (chamomile tea is a good choice), which can encourage rest and sleep. Note: You may want to drink this an hour or two before bed, so you are not compelled to get up during the night. Also eating tart cherries or consuming tart cherry juice can assist in obtaining a better night’s sleep.

· Take a relaxing evening bath or foot-bath as this will calm you before bedtime. Fill up a warm or hot bath and soak for ten minutes or more. I like to put mineral salts (Magnesium Chloride Bath Flakes) in my bath. Right before I step into the tub, I add a few drops of one of my favorite essential oils. I add them last, so they won’t evaporate before I can get in and enjoy the aroma.
For night-time relaxation, my favorite essential oil is lavender.
My formula for my bath water is 1⁄4 to 1⁄2 cup Magnesium Chloride Bath Flakes, 1⁄4 cup of baking soda, and 5–10 drops of essential oil, like lavender or frankincense.

After your shower or foot bath, dry off and put on a soothing body lotion or cream to seal in the moisture. This helps avoid itchy, dry skin during the night. If you’re like me, you sleep better in comfortable clothing and sheets, so you might splurge on the quality of your bed linens and night clothes. It makes me feel better, and I look forward to putting them on and getting into bed. I feel like I’m pampering myself.

I hope one or more of these suggestions will help you get a deep, relaxing, and restorative night’s sleep. I wish you sweet dreams.

The post Gingerbread Cookies – Two Recipes – Gluten & Gluten-free appeared first on Organic Healthy Life - Nancy Addison - Nutrition.

]]> My mother decorated a gingerbread house a few years ago and she said it was so much fun! (That is her in the photo above and she was around 90 at the time.) It sat in her living room throughout the holidays and she was so proud of it.

Whether we make gingerbread cookies to eat, or gingerbread to make houses with for decoration, gingerbread can be a joyful activity during the holidays. The aroma of gingerbread baking in the oven can make the house smell amazing.

Cookies can be fun to make during the holidays. My children and grandchildren and I love to cook together when we get together.

Gingerbread has historically been consumed as an after dinner digestive aid. Ginger is known for boosting the immune system.
It gained a good reputation for protection against the Bubonic plague. Ginger was also known to ease or lessen the effects of nausea, gas, and bloating. It has the same reputation today. Finishing the meal with gingerbread biscuits can bring quick digestive relief.

On holidays when people tend to overindulge in rich foods, gingerbread cookies can be a lovely accompaniment to a meal.

Wheat, barley and rye are the three main gluten-containing grains. The gluten in wheat is named gliadin, while the type of gluten in barley is hordein and the one in rye is secalin.

If a grain is sprouted, whether it’s gluten-free or gluten-containing, it has had the enzyme inhibitors and phytic acid removed. Then,
it will be more digestible and you will absorb the nutrition more effectively. I order my organic sprouted flours from Blue Mountain Organics.

Organic, non-GMO ingredients are always encouraged.

Note: I have two recipes below. The gluten-free recipe follows this gluten-containing recipe.

Gingerbread Cookie Recipe

Ingredients

6 cups sifted organic flour (that contains gluten like wheat, kamut, or spelt. Thrive Market or One Degree both sell organic sprouted spelt flour.)

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter

1 cup dark-brown sugar, packed

4 teaspoons ground ginger

4 teaspoons ground Ceylon cinnamon

1 1/2 teaspoons ground cloves

1 1/2 teaspoons mineral-rich salt (Real by Redmond’s is a good choice.)

1 teaspoon finely ground black-pepper

2 large pasture-raised, organic, humanely-raised eggs

1 cup unsulfured molasses

Organic powdered sugar (optional for dusting the finished cookies with)

Directions

1. In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.

2. In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the room temperature butter and brown sugar until fluffy.

3. Mix in the spices, mineral-rich salt, and black-pepper, and then the eggs and molasses.

4. Add the sifted flour mixture on a low speed and be slow and steady.

5. Divide the dough into three parts. Wrap them in parchment paper and chill them for at least 1 hour.

6. Heat the oven to 350 degrees.

7. Remove the dough from the refrigerator. Keep it in the parchment paper, but unfold it. Cut a new large piece of parchment paper out. Press down with your hands to flatten the dough on the bottom parchment paper a bit.
Place the new piece of parchment on top of the dough, so your dough is between the two large pieces of parchment paper, and then roll the dough to 1/4 inch thick with a rolling pin.

Note: I used a small amount of flour to dust the bottom piece of parchment paper, so the cookies don’t stick as badly. The drawback to this is that it can make your cookies have a white flour look on them that doesn’t come off. If you are decorating them with icing, you may not want the white flour on the cookie.
I dusted mine with the white powdered sugar and that hid the white flour and added that finishing touch of sweetness to the cookie.

8. Remove the top piece of parchment paper.

9. If you don’t use the flour to dust the bottom piece of parchment paper, then fill a shallow, but wide, bowl with 1/8 cup water. Dip your cookie cutters in the water, and then cut out your gingerbread shapes. Then, gently peel away the edges of the parchment paper with your fingers, or use a toothpick for smaller areas. If the dough is not coming up easily, place it in the freezer for 5 minutes and try again.

10. Transfer to baking sheets lined with Silpat mats or parchment paper and refrigerate them until they are firm. That is about 10 to 15 minutes.

11. Bake the cookies for 8 to 10 minutes, or until crisp but not darkened.

12. Cool on wire racks, and decorate with icing or sprinkle them with powdered sugar.

1 1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp. baking powder

2 tsp. ginger, ground

1 tsp Ceylon cinnamon, ground

1/4 tsp cloves, ground

3 1/2 cups gluten-free flour – you can use all-purpose (I used sprouted oat or garbanzo bean flour)

1/2 tsp mineral-rich salt

1/2 cup butter, softened

1 T. pure water, warm

organic powdered sugar (optional to use to sprinkle on finished cookies)

Directions

1. In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.

2. In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the room-temperature butter and brown sugar until fluffy.

3. Mix in the spices, mineral-rich salt, and then the egg and molasses.

4. Add the sifted flour mixture on a low speed and be slow and steady.

5. Turn the mixer to medium-low and slowly dribble the water into the bowl.

5. Divide the dough into three parts. Wrap them in parchment paper and chill them for at least 1 hour.

6. Heat the oven to 350 degrees.

7. Remove the dough from the refrigerator. Keep it in the parchment paper and cut a new piece of parchment paper out. Press down with your hands to flatten the dough on the parchment paper a bit.

Note: I used a small amount of flour to dust the bottom piece of parchment paper, so the cookies don’t stick as badly, The drawback to this is that it can make your cookies have a white flour look on them that doesn’t come off. The white powdered sugar will hide this though, if you are using this as your decorative finish to the cookies.

8. Remove the top piece of parchment paper. 9. If you don’t use the flour to dust the bottom piece of parchment paper, then fill a shallow but wide bowl with 1/8 cup water.

]]> Even though it is a little harder these days, we have long held the tradition of sharing a meal with family and friends during the holidays.

However, many of our holiday foods often involve a number of rich, savory foods, creamy dips and fried foods. These foods taste good, but they don’t always make our body feel it’s best. Here are a few ingredient or food choice tips that can make our dishes healthier to share with our family and friends.

A potato dish can be made with sweet or purple potatoes in place of white potatoes. Use a high quality, organic butter, or use organic ghee or coconut oil as the healthy fat for mashed potatoes or when baking fries. Sweet potatoes are delicious and high in fiber and beta-carotene.

For a healthy stuffing, try making one with organic sprouted rice or even wild rice. Then, bake your stuffing in a separate dish instead of cooking it inside the turkey (where it can absorb a high amount of saturated fat from the meat). Also, use vegetable broth in place of chicken broth. Doing both of these things allow the vegetarian or vegan diners to be able to enjoy that dish as well.

When making cornbread stuffing, purchase non-GMO, organic cornmeal (which is free of the Bt toxin). This can be a great option for those guests who need to eat gluten-free. If you are feeling brave, try using blue cornmeal, which is about 30 percent higher in protein and has more zinc and iron than white or yellow corn.

Many people are now needing to eat gluten-free. Rice and corn are gluten-free, so creating stuffings using these ingredients will be a wonderful option for your gluten-intolerant guests.

When preparing creature (beef, lamb, pork, fowl, fish) foods, try using a little orange juice and coconut oil to add moisture, and try baking it instead of frying it. If you are baking, frying or sautéing anything, use organic, pure coconut oil in place of lard, vegetable oil or a trans-fat like Crisco. It handles heat well and has fantastic health benefits.

You can also grill, broil, or sauté them in a little coconut oil. After you remove them from the heat, you can drizzle some pure, organic, extra-virgin olive oil on them and possibly top it with some lemon or lime juice, or a lemon or lime juice vinaigrette. When dining, choose skinless, white meat pieces, and then add just a tiny bit of gravy.

Now for dessert, try making a pumpkin pie! You can make a whole-sprouted grain crust yourself or you can find a whole-grain ready-made crust at the store, and make my cashew crème recipe as the whipped cream for the topping. (Recipe is on page 185 in my How To Be A Healthy Vegetarian, 2nd edition.)

They now have a coconut milk whipping creme in the freezer section of most grocery stores.

I also love having a simple pitted date as a sweet treat or dessert. It’s just fruit, and it is a healthier choice.

There are delicious pre-made, frozen gluten-free pie crusts in many grocery store freezer sections. Wholly Wholesome and Trader Joe’s are two of the brands. Most grocery stores now have gluten-free sections in the store and also in the freezer section. You may be surprised to find a variety of delicious healthy choices there.

Try using non-dairy milk in your recipes or for your coffee creamer. If you want it to be sweeter, blend the milk (like the unsweetened, vanilla coconut or hemp milk) with a little extra added vanilla or maple extract in a blender and add some pitted dates. I soak the dates in water to make them softer, so they will crème up easier, and voilà … you have a healthier version of a sweet, holiday creamer for your coffee or desserts!

When making or serving snacks, try an easy dip option such as a healthy high-protein hummus or nutritious guacamole. Cutting some cucumber, red bell pepper or celery to use as dipping chips is also a great choice! If you want to serve crackers or chips, try using a whole grain, sprouted, organic version or an organic sweet potato chip or cracker. (Late July is a good brand for chips and Mary’s Gone Cracker’s is my favorite cracker these days. Trader Joe’s has a delicious organic corn chip.)

For additional snacks that are easy for travel or on the go, try combinations of organic, sprouted nuts, sprouted seeds, pitted olives, pitted dates, raisins, dry fruits, kale chips, and coconut chips.

The cute little Santa appetizer the lady made in my healthy holiday food cooking class that I taught last month (in the photo above) is simply a banana with a strawberry hat.  Santa’s nose is a candy “red hot”, and his eyes are chocolate sprinkles. You use large marshmallows cut to make the white hat brim and a small marshmallow for the top of the Santa hat. There are a few marshmallow slices (which aren’t the healthiest of foods, but there are some healthier versions, if you look for them), but it is all about balance and making foods more nutrient-dense. They are easy and fun to create! Children and adults love making these! I like to use the larger wooden shish kebab skewers with a small fork on the tip to hold them, because they are more stable and longer. Be careful to help smaller children with eating them, if you are using skewers of any type.

Here are some easy substitutions I use frequently:

1. Unsweetened yogurt or cottage cheese in place of sour cream

2. Hummus or mashed avocado instead of mayonnaise for sandwiches

3. Unsweetened vanilla coconut or hemp milk in place of dairy

With these ingredient substitutions, you can still enjoy all of the delicious flavors you love, and at the same time, you can increase your health benefits.

Eating this way, you can feel and look your very best as
holiday activities continue into January. Instead of regretting
what you ate, you will glow with radiant health as you welcome the New Year of 2023!

]]> I am frequently asked about what males can do to help reverse the problem of Erectile Dysfunction and prostate cancer. This world-wide health challenge can really create stress in a relationship and make intimacy difficult. If you are facing this, you are not alone. Statistics show that 1 in 7 men will get prostate cancer. But there is new research that shows natural ways to reverse or prevent prostate cancer and erectile dysfunction! This article will provide you with some easy ways to prevent and treat prostate cancer 
&
 erectile dysfunction, which is much less extreme than surgery or drugs, and much more effective in the long term.

Natural foods
 & 
lifestyle adjustments can be implemented right away and make a huge difference in your quality of life. In a recent study, men who were in early stage prostate cancer, who made intensive changes in diet and lifestyle stopped or perhaps even reversed the progression of their illness.” (1)

In this comprehensive study, they chose 93 men that had biopsy-proven prostate cancer who had elected not to undergo conventional treatment.   For one year the group was split into two groups. One did not change anything they were doing, but the second group was placed on a vegan diet (mostly fruits, vegetables, legumes, whole grains with additional vitamin and mineral supplements) and a lifestyle with moderate aerobic exercise, meditation, yoga and support group sessions.

At the end of one year, the “PSA levels (a protein marker for prostate cancer) decreased in men in the group who made comprehensive lifestyle changes but increased in the comparison group. There was a direct correlation between the degree of lifestyle change and the changes in PSA. Also, they found that serum from the participants inhibited prostate tumor growth in vitro by 70 percent in the lifestyle-change group but only 9 percent in the comparison group. Again, there was a direct correlation between the degree of lifestyle change and the inhibition of prostate tumor growth.” (2)

Also, published studies on milk thistle’s anti-cancer potential show its effectiveness against cancers of the prostate, liver, lung, breast, colon, cervix, skin and ovaries.

Milk thistle is also a powerful means to protect the body against the damage of cancer drugs. It’s frequently used in cancer care to help moderate the toxic effects of radiation and chemotherapy.

The silymarin component of the plant offsets the growth of certain types of cancer cells, including those associated with prostate, skin, and liver cancers. It also helps prevent cancer cells from spreading throughout the body. (3) Oral ingestion of silibinin has also shown effectiveness in preventing the growth, spread, and metastasis of prostate cancer cells, working in part by causing cell cycle arrest. (4)

Isosilybin B is likewise effective in targeting prostate cancer. It helps to maintain healthy prostate cell division inside the body while suppressing the secretion of prostate-specific antigen (PSA), a common marker of the disease’s presence and spread. Isosilybin B has also shown efficacy in fighting both hormone-dependent and hormone-independent prostate cancers. It is also efficacious in suppressing a genetic factor linked to the disease’s formation. (5)

Along with the high rates of prostate cancer is the serious problem for men that is Erectile Dysfunction, also known as ED. One survey found that 50% of men aged 40 and up had ED (6), and another found that 33% of men aged 50 and up complained of having ED in the past three months. (7)

Besides the physical effects on health, ED can lead to depression and anxiety, and affect relationships. Fortunately, when you give the body the right tools, it can start to heal itself.

There are all kinds of natural foods you can add to your diet to provide those tools. ED has many causes. ED is a main side effect of many commonly prescribed pharmaceutical drugs, so check the side effects of any pharmaceutical drugs you take. Heart disease, obesity, diabetes, older age, smoking, alcohol, high blood pressure, stress, and a sedentary lifestyle all increase the risk of ED. (8)

Studies show that 70% of all erectile dysfunction caused by non-psychological factors is due to blood vessel problems and diabetes. (9) In fact, the first sign of heart disease is sexual dysfunction. (9)

Even more seriously, men who have ED are 70% more likely to die prematurely than men without ED. (10)

A two-year study took men with ED and placed them on a high-fiber diet of fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats (a Mediterranean diet), and the results were better erections. (11)

I often hear men talk about how they crave steak, chicken, fish, and burgers so they can bulk up or be manly. The Paleo diet has been all the rage. These “manly” foods actually produce the exact opposite of what masculine parts need to function.

To prevent and treat erectile dysfunction, choose to cut down on or eliminate steak, burgers, hot dogs, fish, and chicken wings.  Add fresh fruits and vegetables, grilled Portobello mushrooms, sprouted lentils, sprouted quinoa, and sprouted beans to your eating plan, and see what a difference that makes. Look beyond TV commercials and stereotypes of masculinity.

Research shows that healthy, fresh, whole, vegetarian foods actually boost sexual function throughout your lifetime. A more vegetarian diet can do amazing things for your health, and it can be delicious!

Another natural food to try on the road to health is Fenugreek Seeds. Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum–graecum) has held a major position in Ayurveda Medicine for thousands of years. It has been traditionally used in cooking, and it has been historically used for supporting liver and gallbladder health, balancing blood sugar, regulating weight, and boosting overall digestive strength.

There is a well-documented study, showing the benefits of supplementing your diet with fenugreek seeds, and its effect on the blood sugar of type 1 diabetics. Poor blood sugar regulation is linked to weight gain, along with an excess of serious health concerns.

Keep in mind, blood sugar imbalances actually start in the liver, and the liver is where fenugreek benefits. In one study with diabetic type 1 patients, there was a 54% reduction of glucose in the first-morning urine, along with significant positive changes in the ability to regulate fats in the liver. (12)

Fenugreek has also been found to help with men’s libido and increase their sexual function. In one study, 60 males between the ages of 25 and 52 with erectile concerns took either fenugreek or a placebo for 6 weeks. The men that took the fenugreek saw considerable improvement in libido and their sexual ability. In addition to this, the men personally reported a positive result in muscle strength, energy and well-being. While the exact components for these effects is still undiscovered, it has been found that fenugreek can play a role in maintaining healthy testosterone levels. (13)

Fenugreek can be taken as a tea with meals, or it can be taken as a supplement in a capsule form.  You can also sprout them and use them on salads or freshly grind them to use as a spice to sprinkle on your food when cooking.

There is also an herbal supplement, myomin, which may offer some excellent aid to hormone balance for men.

Myomin is often called a Chinese herbal complex. Myomin was developed by Dr. Tsu-Tsair Chi a Chinese-American Doctor and Naturopath.

Myomin is an all-natural herbal formula that contains:

  • Aralia,
  • Astragalus membranaceous
  • Smilax glabra,
  • Curcuma zedoria
  • Cyperus rotundus

Combine the myomin with Tongkat Ali.

Tongkat Ali has been used in traditional medicine in Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, and other Asian countries to treat malaria, infections, fevers, male infertility, and erectile dysfunction

These testosterone herbs tell the brain to make more testosterone. This combination of myomin and tongkat Ali works best together. These can help you regain your zest for life as well.

Along with those supplements, make sure you are taking at least one drop of iodine every day. Avoid any white iodized salt, it’s not a good source and it’s toxic to your body. You need to use mineral-rich salt daily for
lower blood pressure and more optimum overall health, but the iodine needs to be added to your daily supplement intake.

If you are interested in moving to a more plant-based diet, you may want to read my best-selling, award-winning, book/cookbooks  “How to Be a Healthy Vegetarian“  (second edition) Awarded “Best Diet and Nutrition Book of the Year,” in the Beverly Hills Book Awards and Winner For “Best Specialty Cookbook of the Year” in the Book Excellence Awards 2017 or “Diabetes And Your Diet“  Winner of Best Health Book of the Year, in the International Book Awards, 2017. at this link: Author.to/nancyaddison or you can also visit my home page of this website: www.organichealthylifestyle.com to order the books.

I have taught many Texas men, including Larry Hagman (J. R. Ewing from the show Dallas), how to love being a vegetarian and enjoy the food. When we make the decision to change our diet, that decision can create wonderful results in health and well-being.

The post How to Get Your Steps In, Even If You’re Busy appeared first on Organic Healthy Life - Nancy Addison - Nutrition.

]]> For many, walking might be an underrated exercise, often overlooked in favor of more sweat-inducing, cardio-challenging workout routines marketed for effective weight loss. But that doesn’t mean walking as a workout isn’t gaining popularity. The trending Hot Girl Walk on video platform TikTok, for example, is a routine that encourages not just walking, but also mental mindfulness that sees participants focusing their thoughts on their goals, their gratitude, and – well – how hot they are.

As people embrace the mental and emotional benefits of walking, let’s not forget the physical impact it brings. Walking 10,000 steps a day, for example, boosts your heart strength, sheds extra body fat, stabilizes your blood sugar, and improves your brain’s performance. In fact, 10000 steps a day is the equivalent of doing five 30-minute workouts a week.

The best thing about walking is that it’s something we naturally do, and with a little push, getting your steps in is just a matter of balancing this simple exercise with your daily life and work hours. Here, we’ll go over some ways you can approach walking as a daily exercise, even when you’re busy:

Walk to reflect

We’ve discussed this in a previous post, but daily stress is inevitable. And while we may not be able to prevent stress from affecting us and our loved ones, we can adopt habits like practicing yoga, deep breathing, and exercising to handle stress more effectively.

Walking meditation is a good mindfulness practice, allowing you to reflect on things you are grateful for while getting your workout in. By incorporating slow walks into your mindfulness exercises, you can even improve your posture, boost your confidence, and increase overall wellness.

Walk to socialize

It may be hard to find time to do your walking when everybody seems to want a piece of your time. Fortunately, walking can be a group activity. Aside from the shared accountability, walking with others allows you to hit two birds with one stone since you can also use this time to discuss various pressing matters.

And if you find it hard to motivate other people around you, why not take your pet with you? After all, studies show that dog owners are more physically active than non-owners, improving their blood pressure and decreasing stress reactivity. If you need extra motivation to walk and get some daily steps in, try doing it as a favor for your furry pal. Overall, walking can be a great bonding experience for everyone in your life.

Walk to avoid being desk-bound

Most of the time, a common excuse for not walking enough in a day is because we are bound to our desks and our work. Studies have long been done on the harmful effects of prolonged sitting, point to developing muscle pains on top of chronic illnesses and changes to overall posture. While work is no doubt important, it’s just as important — if not more — to take care of yourself.

Treat walking time as a break from long periods of sitting at your desk. Not only is it good for your back and muscles, it will also allow your eyes some resting time away from harmful blue light in screens. While walking, you can also do some light stretches to come back to your desk more energized than before.

Ultimately, walking is a simple but incredibly effective exercise that helps us stay fit. And because we do it every day, the motivation we need to get our steps in shouldn’t be hard to come by. In fact, it’s all around us.

The post Kidney Stones – Possible Causes & Some Holistic Remedies appeared first on Organic Healthy Life - Nancy Addison - Nutrition.

]]> I have had so many people recently contact me with the problem with painful kidney stones or kidney problems.
The kidneys are of major importance to our health, since they regulate the amount of water and salts in our body, which helps us to maintain the body’s correct chemical balance. 

Healthy kidneys make important chemicals called hormones. These hormones circulate in our bloodstream, sending messages throughout the body, contributing to the regulation of blood pressure and red blood cell production, and managing the calcium balance in our body.

The kidneys also balance our body’s minerals, which are of paramount importance.

The kidneys’ key role is to detoxify and filter impurities from the blood. The kidneys help remove waste products, such as urea and creatinine, from the body. When the body breaks down protein (such as meat), urea and other wastes are made. 

Creatinine is a waste product of the muscles. As kidney function decreases, the levels of urea and creatinine in the blood increase. If you have high levels of urea or creatinine, it indicates that the kidneys are not functioning properly.

Some signs that you may have challenged kidney function are: 


1. Swelling in the lower legs or around the eyes.
2. Nausea or vomiting.
3. Shortness of breath.
4. Sleep problems.
5. Unexplained weight-loss.
6. Weakness or fatigue.
7. Dry, itchy skin.
8. Difficulty concentrating.
9. Urinating more or less than usual.

Kidney stones form when the kidneys are not able to process and excrete waste. When this happens, the excess minerals, and the toxins and crystals of unprocessed minerals begin to build-up. The hard lumps in the kidney are also called nephrolithiasis or renal stones. 

Kidney stones are made up of minerals that accumulate in the kidneys and form crystals. There are 4 types of hard crystals that can form, but kidney stones are primarily composed of calcium oxalate stones. Cysteine, uric acid, and struvite are common forms also, but they are less prevalent.

Kidney stones are a common health problem for many people, but men have a tendency to have 10% more kidney stones than women. When the stones pass from the kidneys into the urinary tract, this can cause a very sharp pain in your lower abdomen, back, side or groin, which can cause pain when you urinate, or nausea and vomiting, fever, and chills.

So, how do we prevent kidney stones?

First, avoid pharmaceutical drugs that can cause these stones to be formed.
The pharmaceutical drugs that can cause formation of kidney stones are: laxatives, some antibiotics, potassium-sparing diuretics (used for high blood pressure), potassium channel blockers (used to control heart rhythm and for multiple sclerosis), and sulfonylureas (used to treat type 2 diabetes).

Holistic remedies include eliminating refined sodium (white salt), packed processed, and fast foods. Overeating white salt, with no minerals, (which is primarily sodium), also increases the number of oxalates you’re consuming. Highly refined white salt in the diet can increase calcium levels in your urine, which can cause kidney stones to form.

Avoid high-oxalate foods. Overeating protein leads to the accumulation of oxalates in the blood and the kidneys, where they can form stones. Limit chicken, beef, pork, shellfish, and organ meats in the diet. Organ meats, like liver, are excellent sources of protein, but they contain high levels of oxalates.

Beets, rhubarb, cranberry, and full-grown spinach (baby spinach or spinach sprouts do not have have high oxalates) are high in oxalates.
Pure organic cranberry juice can be helpful to prevent urinary tract infections. But cranberries contain some oxalates. When manufacturers combine cranberry juice with sugar, it increases the oxalate value in each serving.

Avoid drinking sodas and/or using artificial sweeteners. Sodas contain high amounts of uric acid and oxalates, which lead to the formation of kidney stones. Sugar-free sodas and artificial sweeteners reduce kidney function, making it difficult for the organ to clear oxalates from the tissues.

When saturation of calcium oxalate in the blood become more elevated, the kidneys become overwhelmed, and this results in the kidney’s ineffectiveness to excrete all of the particles. The crystals that remain in the kidneys begin to form kidney stones. When this happens, symptoms like a throbbing pain in the middle of the lower-back begin.

Holistic Remedies for Kidney Stones are:

1. Lemon Juice, Olive Oil, and Raw Apple Cider Vinegar. The combination of lemon juice, olive oil, and raw apple cider vinegar is one of my favorites and, in my opinion, one of the most effective remedies for kidney stones and the discomfort they cause. 

At the first symptom of stone pain, (use all organic ingredients if possible), mix 2 ounces of olive oil with 2 ounces of lemon juice.
Drink it straight and follow with a 12-ounce glass of purified water. Wait 30 minutes. Then, squeeze the juice of 1/2 lemon into 12 ounces of purified water, add one tablespoon of raw apple cider vinegar, and drink. Repeat the lemon juice, water and apple cider vinegar recipe every hour until symptoms improve.

2. Use the Global Healing Kidney Support Bundle to detoxify, flush, and purge the kidneys of built-up toxins. This bundle includes Plant-Based Kidney Health, our all-natural, kidney-support formula, Oxy-Powder to facilitate toxin removal, and Turmeric for antioxidant support. Along with colon and liver cleansing, it is one of the most essential cleansing protocols for your health!

3. Drink Dandelion Root Tea or take a dandelion root supplement. Dandelion root is a marvelous supplement that can help detoxify and cleanse the kidneys and support normal kidney function.[4] Taking up to 500 mg twice a day may be beneficial.

4.  Magnesium-rich foods like Kidney Beans can be used to make a tonic for cleansing the kidneys. 

Studies show that people with recurrent kidney stones who took magnesium supplements showed significant improvement in symptoms.
Try removing the beans from inside the pods, and then boil the pods in purified hot water for six hours. This liquid can be strained through cheese cloth, cooled and taken throughout the day for one day to ease kidney stone pain.

5. Drink some Horsetail Tea, which is a natural diuretic that helps flush excess water and uric acid from the kidneys. Drink up to 3-4 cups of horsetail tea daily or take 2 grams of the herb in capsule form daily.

6. Ingesting Pomegranates or Pomegranate Juice is very beneficial because of its “astringent with sour” properties, which help detoxify the blood and kidneys.

7. Add Celery to your diet. Celery and celery seeds are detoxifiers and excellent kidney tonics. Celery, including the seeds, is rich in vitamins and minerals, which include A, B-complex, C, iron, phosphorous, calcium, and many more essential micronutrients.
Adding organic celery and/or celery juice to your diet, or adding celery seed to your recipes may prevent kidney stone formation.

8. Basil Tea (Tulsi Tea or Holy basil) can help support the kidneys.
Basil or tulsi tea can be taken throughout the day for proper fluid, mineral, and uric acid balance. Basil has been found to be a potent adaptogen with other antimicrobial, antioxidant, and immune-enhancing properties. These components help to avoid oxidative damage.
If you have kidney stones, try taking one teaspoon of fresh basil juice with raw, unfiltered honey each day for one week to six months.

9. Drink Coconut Water, because it can dissolve kidney stones.
Organic coconut water is packed with electrolytes and minerals that can restore lost body fluids and help someone get more hydrated. This is vital because constant dehydration can lead to kidney stone formation.

When dehydrated, the urine volume that is produced can be highly acidic. There are some minerals that can settle in the urine as unbeneficial byproducts of metabolism, and they can find an acidic environment ideal for crystallization. This results in a gradual build-up of these crystals, eventually leading to the formation of solid stones.

I was told that a coconut water IV can also reverse a heat stroke, because it is extremely hydrating. Coconut water can also be used for blood transfusions when blood is not available .
There are many other health benefits that coconut water provides, including aiding in digestion and increasing your metabolism.

In closing, stay hydrated, avoid pharmaceutical drugs, try some of the remedy’s. Take good care of your kidneys, so they can take good care of you.

The post Portobello Mushroom Burger Recipe appeared first on Organic Healthy Life - Nancy Addison - Nutrition.

]]> It is National Mushroom Month!

Many of you may be cooking outdoors this month. This is a great vegan/vegetarian version to serve plant-based diners. I used to take a portobello mushroom with me whenever I went to cookouts and I wanted to have something plant-based to eat with everyone. I have made this for many non-vegetarian Texans with great success, much to their surprise!

This was one of Larry Hagman’s (also known as J. R. Ewing, in the television show “Dallas”) favorite meals. I would make this for him when I was his chef & nutritionist, when he had throat cancer and diabetes. I had him on a very strict healthy diet, and I would serve this to him when he was craving something “meaty,” like a hamburger.

Mushrooms are nutrient-dense and have fewer calories than meat. They have also been found to prevent cancer.

According to a study conducted by The University of Western Australia in Perth, eating mushrooms daily may reduce breast cancer risk by nearly two-thirds.

The study, conducted in China, looked at more than 2000 women, half of whom had suffered from breast cancer. Researchers found that the women who ate a third of an ounce of fresh mushrooms every day had lowered their risk of developing a tumor by 64 percent. (1)

Dried mushrooms didn’t have quite the same benefit, but still reduced the risk “by around half.”(2)

It is certainly great to have the reinforcement of knowledge that mushrooms are such a healthy food.

Portobello mushrooms contain a variety of B-complex vitamins (including vitamin B6, thiamine, and folate), are an excellent source of riboflavin, pantothenic acid, and niacin. Protein (complex amino acids), selenium, lysine, zinc, copper, manganese, and iron are some additional benefits of eating this mushroom.

Portobello mushrooms are a great alternative to meat, because of their meaty texture and flavor.

The quantities in this recipe are enough for one person.

Ingredients:

1 large portobello mushroom

3 T. organic coconut liquid amino sauce or teriyaki sauce

1 whole, sprouted-grain hamburger bun or bread (I love the Alvarado Bakery hamburger buns)

¼ cup sliced goat cheese (from goats that are grass-fed and humanely raised, or you can use a vegan goat cheese)

Directions:

1. Brush off the mushroom and remove the stem. (Save the stem to cut up and use in a stir-fry or pasta dish later.)

2. Soak the mushroom in your choice of sauce for at least five minutes (although 30 minutes is even better).

3. Grill, or bake at 350°F, just until thoroughly warm, making sure it is moist with the amino sauce or teriyaki sauce.

4. Warm or toast bun.

5. Place the goat cheese (if using) on top of mushroom and leave in oven for just a couple of minutes to soften the cheese.

6. Remove mushroom from grill or oven and place on bun.

7. Serve immediately.

Variations:

1. For a vegan version, you can use sliced avocado instead of goat cheese. It’s a really delicious addition to this sandwich.

2. You can add a few leaves of romaine lettuce, or tomato slices, or onion, but I found it is simply delicious just with the goat cheese.

]]> There’s a common misconception that living healthily means having to spend more money to maintain a healthy lifestyle. However, you don’t necessarily have to spend more to reap the benefits of healthy living. Moreover, there are ways where you can even end up saving on your journey to health and wellness. But first, here are some more advantages to leading a healthy lifestyle, courtesy of Organic Healthy Life.

Save On Health Insurance Premiums

Living healthier could mean you qualify for lower health insurance premiums. For example, if you have a high-deductible health plan (or HDHP) then you may qualify for a Health Savings Plan (or HSA) and can end up saving more money on health-related expenses because it will be tax-free.

Dine-In Instead Of Eating-Out

Suppose you’ve become more accustomed to dining out than eating in. But you’ve now decided that the only way to reach your health and wellness goals is by following a customized eating plan, and eating out just won’t help you reach your diet goals any longer. You could opt to eat at home instead. This way could create a personalized meal plan for yourself as well as save on money too by not splurging on food that comes at restaurant prices.

Choosing to go vegetarian can also cut down on your food costs. Most of the money we spend at the grocery store is attributed to meat and dairy products. Nancy Addison of Organic Healthy Life has plenty of tips and resources for helping you to cut out meat and increase your consumption of organic goods. This is one choice that can be great for your body and your budget.

Walk Instead Of Driving

Another way you can save a pretty penny while enjoying a healthier lifestyle is by saving on transportation costs if you could walk, jog, or cycle to work, especially if the commute is short and you do so on a regular basis. Plus, you’ll no doubt be getting fitter and your actions will be beneficial for the environment too.

Hire Professionals To Spring-Clean Your Home

Perhaps, you need some help on the home front when it comes to giving your home a deep non-toxic cleaning once a month. While this may seem like an extra expense, this could end up saving you money. Plus, it may free up time so that you can focus on your health journey more.

Check Your Home For Health Hazards

Even with a great monthly professional deep clean, there are some health issues that can sneak through. For example, pests can become an issue that you need to contract with a professional to eliminate. But an even more overlooked issue is mold. Even a small plumbing leak can lead to dangerous levels of mold in your home. And if it turns out to be black mold, that is a major problem. To prevent these issues, look online for “plumbers in my area” and read through the reviews to find a few potential options. Then, have them come out for written estimates before committing to one choice. That way, you’ll find someone with reasonable prices and good customer service who can help eliminate the leak – and mold threat – quickly and safely.

Buy Food In-Season

Suppose you’ve decided to cut out meat to consume a plant-based diet instead, then it may be better to buy fruits and veggies in bulk and in-season to take advantage of any savings or discounts. Better yet, you could even grow your own produce. That way, you’ll have access to the freshest of ingredients, and you’ll save on grocery experiences by not having to purchase these items at a cost plus markup price.

Do Free Outdoor Activities

If you haven’t been noticing outdoor gyms popping up everywhere, then you have been missing out on a fun (free) outdoor activity to get fit and make new friends in the process. You can also choose to run, cycle, walk, or rollerblade around your neighborhood or local park.

You can also spend about $20 to invest in a few disc golf sets. It’s a fun activity that you can do alone, with friends, or with your family almost anywhere. There are disc golf courses across the country, and they are usually free or a few dollars for general park admission.

Make Money By Leading A Healthier Lifestyle

You can do more than save money by getting healthy. You may also be able to make money! For example, you can share how you managed to save money while getting healthy, and potentially make some serious passive income through affiliate marketing. Or you could choose to start a business selling athletic equipment or personal training. If you decide to go the business route, then it’s important to market your business adequately. You can create business cards with an online template maker and customize them to reflect your branding. If you have a logo, be sure to include it along with a font and color schemes that reflect your business.

In summary, living healthily will probably mean having to make short-term sacrifices in order to see long-term results. Furthermore, you may have to be more creative in how you approach this lifestyle so that you can save money whilst taking advantage of the many benefits that leading a healthier lifestyle offers. Be aware of your surroundings, keep your home free of germs and mold, fill your fridge with organic veggies, and find other creative ways to save money while you get healthier. Nonetheless, you are sure to reap the rewards soon enough and be happier for it because you decided to take positive steps forward.

Our dental health is extremely critical. I can’t stress this enough.
Every day, the average person exposes themselves to more than 100 chemicals from soaps, cosmetics, and other personal care products, like toothpaste or mouthwash. Many of these ingredients (chemicals) have been clinically researched and shown to cause serious health problems, including cancers.

In fact over 80,000+ chemicals used in body care products have never been properly tested for safety by federal regulatory agencies.

According to Dr. Thomas Levy – lawyer and cardiologist, many chronic health conditions are a result of poor dental health and toxic teeth.

So, here is some basic information to get you started in the right direction:

Toothpaste

If you read the boxes of some name-brand toothpastes and mouthwashes, you may see a warning to immediately call poison control if you swallow them.

The warnings are usually only on the box and not on the tube or bottle itself. We shouldn’t be putting any kind of poison in our mouths at all because the mouth is highly absorbent.

I buy brands that are free of poison and not harmful to my body.

A toothpaste that I just learned about is much better than any of the others. It is by Primal Life Organics and it was developed by a nurse who has really figured out a lot about dental health. She truly understands teeth, toxicity, how the tooth enamel works, and how it affects the gums, and other dental situations.

One of the ingredients in the toothpaste that she has created is clay. Clay is the perfect ingredient to put in the mouth for cleaning teeth, because it has the minerals the teeth needs, and it also pulls toxins out. It cuts down on plaque, helps reduce bad bacteria in the mouth, and helps regrow the good bacteria that support the immune system.

Toxins are positively charged ions, which are also called free radicals (an ion is a charged atom). Clays are excellent at binding toxins, because they are negatively charged ions and they attract and bind well with these positively charged toxins. Then the clay (binding the toxins) can be effectively eliminated though the digestive process.

What most people don’t realize is that the oral biome (oral immune system) is the first place toxins can enter the body. If the oral biome (immune system) is not strong enough, then those toxins can enter into the gut and that immune system’s biome is quite different. Some toxins will thrive in that gut environment, like H. Pylori or E. Coli.

The stomach or intestinal bacteria are not able to kill particular toxins, like those bacteria that should ideally be eliminated by the good bacteria in the mouth. Most mouthwashes or toothpastes actually destroy those beneficial bacteria that would make up the oral biome (immune system) in the mouth.

If you look on some of the toothpaste or mouthwash packages, they will say, “kills bacteria.” But you don’t want to kill all your bacteria. The good bacteria is your immune system. The good bacteria prevents the overgrowth of bad bacteria and prevents an acidic environment. This lack of beneficial bacteria and an acidic environment is what destroys the gums, which support the teeth. Clay alkalizes the mouth’s environment, helps rebuild the good bacteria, and remineralizes the teeth.

The clay can also help bind with the toxins, like heavy metals or glyphosate (an antibiotic herbicide) that we get from water and conventionally grown foods, etc. The clay can help detoxify the tissues as you are brushing your teeth.

This clay can help you rebuild the beneficial bacteria that can kill J. pylori, E. Coli, or Streptococcus mutans, which are the leading bacteria that cause cavities and gingivitis. Your teeth are like bone. They are porous and a living part of your body.

People with digestive problems may actually find that their health improves if they boost their oral biome (good bacteria in their mouth), and remineralize their teeth and gums, while also removing toxins. The digestive process actually starts in the mouth.

Some ingredients to avoid –

1. Fluoride

Many people are still under the illusion that fluoride is good for teeth, but fluoride is a neurotoxin and is an accumulative poison.

Fluoride is particularly harmful to young males having growth spurts, which manifests itself as osteosarcoma (rare bone cancer) in their late teens or early 20’s. Dr. Elise Bassin found a strong, statistically-significant relationship between “fluoride exposure during the 6th through 8th years of life (the “mid-childhood growth spurt”) and the later development of osteosarcoma among young males.”

There have been NO long-term studies that found that fluoride in the water was beneficial, in fact, studies show that fluoride causes many other detrimental health problems.

Some of the earliest opponents to fluoridation were biochemists.
Dr. James Sumner, a Nobel Laureate biochemist at Cornell University says:

“Everybody knows fluorine and fluorides are very poisonous substances…We use them in enzyme chemistry to poison enzymes, those vital agents in the body. That is the reason things are poisoned; because the enzymes are poisoned and that is why animals and people die.”

We need to have pure water to drink, but fluoride is not added to the water to purify the water. It is added with the idea that it helps prevent tooth decay, but the studies done on tooth decay were done with calcium fluoride. The fluoride added to our drinking water is different. They add sodium fluoride and fluorosilicic acid, that can be contaminated with lead and arsenic, and are actually toxic waste from aluminum and fertilizer factories. So, this is NOT going to help prevent dental decay.

“Fluoride is a toxic industrial waste classified as a Schedule Seven – S7 poison. It is a banned biocide in Europe, utilized in many prescription drugs as well as being the main ingredient in rat and cockroach poison. Fluoride accumulates in bone and soft tissue, like the pineal gland.

In 1997, a British scientist, Jennifer Luke, discovered that fluoride accumulates in high levels in the pineal gland. It accumulates more in the pineal gland than any other soft tissue of the body.

The pineal is a light receptive endocrine gland responsible for the production of serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT). The pineal gland produces melatonin, a serotonin-derived hormone which modulates sleep patterns in both circadian and seasonal cycles.

Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine) is a hormone found in the brain, digestive tract, and pineal gland. It is both a neurotransmitter
(helps nerves send messages to one another) and a vasoconstrictor (which causes blood vessels to narrow). Serotonin regulates mood, appetite, cognitive functions (memory, learning…), and sleep. A lack of serotonin in the brain is thought to be a cause of depression.

The National Research Council stated, “Fluoride is likely to cause decreased melatonin production and to have other effects on normal pineal function, which in turn could contribute to a variety of ill effects in humans.” (NRC, 2006, p. 256).”

Many cities spend a great deal of money (as much as a million dollars or more) on purchasing the toxic waste from the fertilizer plants to put into the water supply. It is legally labeled “toxic waste” until the city purchases it, and then it is legally called “a product,” simply because it has been “purchased.”

Summary on fluoride: This is a product that has been proven: to NOT be the correct type of fluoride, to NOT work in an ingested form, to be an unapproved drug that cannot be regulated in dosage, to cause osteosarcoma in males, well known alterations in teeth and bone structure and calcification of tendons and ligaments. ‘Moderate’ doses cause spinal deformities and increased hip fracture tendency and kidney and gall stones. Higher levels cause death and are responsible for its major industrial use as a rodenticide. Solubility calculations indicate that fluoride doses required to decrease calcium below physiological blood levels are comparable to those present in poisoned victims’ tissues and to those causing decreased beat rates in isolated heart cells in culture. Acute lethal poisoning and many of the chronic ‘low’ level effects of fluoride are mediated by calcium binding by the fluoride ion.

2. Glycerin

Glycerin is another ingredient commonly found in toothpastes. It coats the mineral-deficient teeth with a layer that prevents the tooth from being able to remineralize. As an example, when you cover something with plastic wrap, nothing gets through it. Glycerin acts in the same way. The teeth need these minerals. The clay can remove the glycerin from the tooth and allow the tooth to remineralize.

The Primal Life Organics products are Certified Organic and free of fluoride and glycerin. You can purchase the dental care products from Primal Life Organic. It is now my toothpaste of choice. I think it is a brilliant combination of ingredients.

This clay toothpaste is used a little differently. You scoop it from the jar with your toothbrush or a small utensil. Then you brush for two minutes, and swish it around in your mouth. Spit. Rinse if desired. For best results, brush twice a day. The clays and essential oils resist bacterial growth.

The ingredients in these tooth brushing clay powders are:

Black Spearmint flavor: Colloidal Silver, Bentonite, Kaolin, Sodium Bicarbonate, Activated Charcoal, Montmorillonite, Mentha Spicata (Spearmint) Oil

Peppermint flavor: Colloidal Silver, Bentonite, Kaolin, Sodium Bicarbonate, Montmorillonite, Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Oil

Bubblegum flavor: Colloidal Silver, Bentonite, Kaolin, Sodium Bicarbonate, Montmorillonite, Luo Han Guo (Monk Fruit), Citrus Paradisi (Grapefruit) Oil*, Eucalyptus Radiata (Eucalyptus) Oil*, Cananga Odorata (Ylang Ylang) Oil

Is colloidal silver good for teeth?

Colloidal Silver and Gum Disease. A study published in 2018 showed that silver is a powerful anti-bacterial and can be used as a rinse to help reduce bacteria in the mouth that contributes to gum disease.

Other ingredients in the Primal Life Organics toothpaste and why they are in it:

Bentonite Clay is nontoxic and rich in vital minerals that are very beneficial for our teeth and gums – like calcium and potassium. It is a cleansing clay that gently scrubs and beautifully polishes the teeth. It works as an astringent by helping to remove tartar and clean the gums.

White Kaolin Clay is high in calcium, silica, zinc, and magnesium. It helps to whiten and polish the teeth.

Baking soda (aluminum free) is alkaline with a pH of 8.1 and will neutralize the acids in the mouth. Baking soda gently cleanses and polishes the teeth, removes odors and can help freshen the breath.

French Green Clay (also known as Illite Clay or Sea Clay) is very absorbent and helps cleanse the tissues from things like oils, toxins, and impurities found on the surface. Mined from bedrock quarries in France, it is sun-dried, completely natural, unscented, and fragrance-free. French Green Clay is a bio-mineral and contains decomposed plant matter as well as many trace minerals, including silica, magnesium, calcium, iron, phosphorus, sodium, potassium, copper, zinc, selenium, cobalt, manganese, phosphorous, silicon, micro-algae, kelp, and phytonutrients.

Organic Essential Oils are used to freshen the mouth and make you forget that you are brushing your teeth with Dirt.

In addition to using a healthy toothpaste, I advise you not to share your toothpaste. It can spread germs when someone else’s toothbrush touches the opening on the container.

Get a new toothbrush after any illness, or at least every two months. This will prevent the toothbrush from becoming too built up with germs.

Floss

Floss at least once a day to keep gums healthy and to remove bacteria from between teeth.

Tongue Scraper

Use a tongue scraper to keep the tongue clean and fresh.

Tongue scrapers are available from Primal Life Organic. They have really nice dental packages. They are fairly inexpensive. I think they are something everyone should use.

To use it, you put the tongue scraper at the back of your tongue and gently bring it forward along your tongue, and then repeat. If you have a tongue that is coated with debris, bacteria and dead cells, then a tongue scraping may be helpful. It makes your mouth feel so much cleaner and fresher.

Whiten Teeth

“Dirty Mouth” also has a tooth whitener that I think is the best one for oral health, if you want whiter teeth.

If you really want to have the cleanest mouth and whitened teeth, then try my “oil pulling” detoxification technique first thing in the morning before you brush your teeth with the clays.

Oil pulling is an Ayurvedic Remedy used to enhance oral health and well-being. Oil pulling detoxifies the body, removes unsightly stains on teeth, and prevents illness and disease. (It’s described in detail in Chapter 11, in my book “Diabetes And Your Diet.”Now in audio!)

Mouthwash

Be careful which mouthwash you use. Like I said before, you don’t want to kill the beneficial bacteria in your mouth, so be careful and avoid a mouthwash that “kills bacteria.” It may not be selective and may kill the beneficial oral biome bacteria that keeps the harmful bacteria in control. I use Young Living “Thieves Mouthwash.” It does not destroy the beneficial bacteria in the body.

Alcohol is used in many mouthwashes. Mouthwashes with a content of 25 percent or higher have been implicated in mouth, tongue, and throat cancers.

Another ingredient to watch out for in mouthwash is potassium bromate. It is used in sports drinks, citrus flavored drinks, breads, crackers, baked goods, and mouthwashes.

Why should we look out for potassium bromate?

Our thyroid is our master gland. It is central to all of our body’s major functions. It influences our metabolism, digestion, energy, body temperature, skin, hair, sleep, mental acuity, nervous system, sexual organs, and hormonal system. In fact, it would be very difficult to find a system that is not influenced by the thyroid. The main nutrient that supports our thyroid is iodine.

What does this mean if we ingest potassium bromate? We have a certain amount of space for the iodine in our thyroid. When we ingest potassium bromate, it acts like iodine. It will take up the space for iodine and actually prevent your body from absorbing the iodine it needs. This contributes to iodine deficiency and cancer.

Brazil, China, Canada, the United Kingdom, and the European Union have all prohibited the use of this chemical compound.

Check the ingredient lists carefully and if it’s added under a certain percentage, the FDA doesn’t require them to list it on the label. This is something to be aware of in many products. If concerned, you may want to call the company and ask.

Mercury

Mercury poisoning is a silent epidemic in the world today. Mercury is a neurotoxin and it’s found in amalgam fillings, vaccines, sea food, personal care products, light bulbs, batteries, electronics, and water, etc.

Studies show that mercury, even in small amounts, can damage the central nervous system causing irritability, fatigue, mood swings, behavioral problems, tremors, headaches, hearing loss, dysarthria, incoordination, hallucinations, loss of peripheral vision, “pins and needles” feelings, usually in the hands, feet, and around the mouth, lack of coordination of movements, ringing in your ears, insomnia, and even death.”

Get those mercury-containing amalgam fillings removed safely and quickly. The IAOMT is a Scientific, Biological Dental Organization. It is a great resource to use in finding a safe way to remove toxic mercury-containing fillings. IAOMT has a SMART protocol, which stands for Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique. The IAOMT has a number of resources for both dentists and patients that you might find of interest.

I send you wishes for perfect dental health!

The post Grilling Tips appeared first on Organic Healthy Life - Nancy Addison - Nutrition.

]]> As you fire up your barbecue grill for fun weekend get-togethers this August, or Labor Day weekend next month, it is important to know a few tips to protect you and your friends and family from the potentially dangerous chemicals that grilling your meat can create.

Grilling, frying, broiling, (and other cooking methods that expose meat to extremely high temperatures) “creates potential cancer-causing compounds called heterocyclic amines (HCAs).This is especially true when the meat is charred or overcooked. Moreover, when fat drips on the heat source, the plumes of smoke can coat meat with other dangerous chemicals. The worst offenders are fatty, well-done beef, pork and lamb, but even poultry and fish produce HCAs when seared.”(1)

If you love grilling, here are a few ways to reduce the dangers:

• Buy lean types of meat and trim off all visible fat.
• “Marinate meat. Researchers have found that this can decrease HCAs by more than 90 percent. Use combinations of beer, cider, vinegar, citrus juices, mustard, herbs, and brown sugar.”(2)
• Precook meat in an oven, and then finish it on the grill.
•Try using a lower heat. Don’t put the meat right over the fire. Put the meat to the side of the grill where the heat isn’t as hot.
• Turn the meat more frequently, and grill the meat just until it is cooked and safe to eat. Don’t cook it until it is charred. You can use a meat thermometer to check and make sure it is done.
• Avoid breathing in smoke, which also has risks.
• Veggie burgers, seitan (a protein-rich food made of wheat gluten, used as a meat substitute in vegetarian dishes), Portobello mushrooms and vegetables have little or no formation of HCA’s when grilled.

Try going vegetarian once in a while!
It tastes good, and is good for you!

The post Detoxification, Your Health, And Having A Healthy Weight appeared first on Organic Healthy Life - Nancy Addison - Nutrition.

]]> We are in spring, almost summer…a perfect time to get spring cleaning! There are many reasons to clean out the inside of your body on a regular basis. Clean cells and a clean body, inside and out, are the secret to having more energy, looking younger, and having a stronger immune system.

We need to cleanse, because we acquire toxins in our bodies on a regular basis. In today’s world, an estimated one billion humans are exposed regularly to environmental toxins, including mercury, which is more common than most people realize. (This is especially true for people who eat seafood or salt taken from today’s polluted oceans.)

We live in a world that is literally saturated with toxins. We can get toxins by breathing in polluted air, taking showers or drinking chlorinated tap water, eating foods when we don’t know their source or preparation method, pesticides, toxic cleaning fluids, dry-cleaning fluids, pest control fluids, and wearing new, unwashed clothing. We can get mercury toxicity from energy-saving light bulbs (these emit a toxic mercury vapor into the air that we breathe), seafood (tuna and swordfish are particularly high in mercury), most vaccines, some body care products, water, and amalgam fillings.

Over one billion humans are exposed to high levels of toxic metals and metalloids in the environment, including mercury. The number of persons suffering from subclinical metal poisoning is believed to be several million.

Some common symptoms of being toxic (and being in need of a detoxification cleanse) are: constipation, gas and bloating, diarrhea, back pain, joint and muscle pain, irritable bowel syndrome, allergies, insatiable hunger, itchy ears, nose, or anus, unpleasant sensations in the stomach, nervousness, grumpiness, chronic fatigue, lethargy or apathy, various skin problems, problems sleeping, nutritional deficiencies or anemia, problems with the immune system, teeth grinding or clenching, weight gain, forgetfulness, and blurry vision.

One of the most damaging toxins that we are exposed to is mercury. Mercury is a neurotoxin, and it’s found in amalgam fillings, vaccines, seafood, personal care products,
light bulbs, batteries, electronics, water, and more.

Studies show that mercury, even in small amounts, can damage the central nervous system causing irritability, fatigue, mood swings, behavioral problems, tremors, headaches, hearing loss, dysarthria ( a speech sound disorder), incoordination, hallucinations, loss of peripheral vision, “pins and needles” feelings, usually in the hands, feet, and around the mouth, lack of coordination of movements, ringing in your ears, insomnia, and even death.

If you have you been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, MS, fibromyalgia, Autism, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) or Lou Gehrig’s disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, or a brain tumor, you may actually have mercury poisoning.

Mercury can damage the brain, kidneys, liver and central nervous system. Infants and children are particularly vulnerable to the toxic effects of mercury.

Mercury affects male children at a higher rate than females.

Mercury in the cardiovascular system, “even in low doses can cause hypertension and alterations in endothelial function.”

Frequently, people tell me that they can’t lose weight no matter what they do. This can be because the body is holding onto toxins by surrounding them with fat cells. This happens when the body gets overloaded with toxins. In order to protect you from the toxins, your body will surround them with fat to protect you from their harmful effects. Until you can detoxify the body, it will hold onto those protective layers of fat. When you do a detoxification cleanse, many people find that they easily lose weight. This is because the body no longer has a need for the fat it was protecting you with.

Additionally, our bodies become acidic through stress and the foods we eat. These toxins and acids hurt our bodies deep within our cells. How can the body have a clean liver, blood, or lymphatic system if it is filled with toxins, acid, and waste? A clean intestinal system and frequent, thorough bowel movements are key elements of a truly healthy system.

We absorb most of our nutrients though the intestinal wall. If it is clean, we are able to absorb the nutrients. If it is not clean, but is instead full of waste and rancid debris, then the body won’t get the nutrients it needs. Dr. Anthony Bassler, a gastroenterologist, said in 1942, “Every physician should realize the intestinal toxemias (poisons) are the most important primary and contributing cause of many disorders and diseases of the body.”

We also need to cleanse because our intestines can become thick with plaque over time. This “mucoid plaque” can result from consuming foods like milk, wheat, and meat. It can be thick and rubbery. It can even look a little like a rope when it exits in the body.

In his book, “Tissue Cleansing through Bowel Management,”
Dr. Bernard Jensen, DC, ND, PhD addresses this: “The heavy mucus coating in the colon thickens and becomes a host of putrefaction. The blood capillaries to the colon begin to pick up the toxins, poisons, and noxious debris as they seep through the bowel wall. All tissues and organs of the body are now taking on toxic substances. Here is the beginning of true autointoxication on a physiological level.

One autopsy revealed a colon to be 9 inches in diameter with a passage through it no larger than a pencil. The rest was caked up layer upon layer of encrusted fecal material. This accumulation can have the consistency of truck tire rubber. It’s that hard and black. Another autopsy revealed a stagnant colon to weigh in at an incredible 40 pounds.“

Dr. Richard Anderson, ND, NMD addresses the subject of plaque as well. Dr. Anderson, an expert on colon cleansing, wrote “Cleanse and Purify Thyself,” Volumes 1 & 2. In an article on colon plaque, he says: “The phrase, “mucoid plaque” is a coined term that I use to describe various conditions found throughout the body, especially in hollow organs and the alimentary canal. It is a substance that the body naturally creates under unnatural conditions, such as attacks from acids, drugs, heavy metals, and toxic chemicals.“

Professional cleanses, like colonics or enemas, can remove this old leftover waste and plaque from the intestinal tract.

The good news is that there are really effective cleanses that can help you safely remove these toxins from your body. I recommend cleansing for a minimum of 10 days and as long as 21 days to detoxify the body and adjust its pH on a regular basis. This will keep the inner environment of the body’s digestive system cleaner, healthier, and able to support a vibrant immune system.

Along with this comes an additional benefit. A major part of the body’s happiness chemical, serotonin, is synthesized in the gastrointestinal tract. It is no wonder people feel happier and better when their bowels are clean and functioning in the optimum way! I do a month-long cleanse every January, to start off the New Year fresh and renewed after the holidays.

Each time you cleanse, it will get easier. Eventually, or maybe very quickly, you will see a difference in how you feel.

I do a healthy chlorophyll and fiber-rich cleanse every month, and I recommend it to my clients. You can do as little or as much as you find is best for you. I use products from Chemical Free Body.
I use the juice formula, “Green 85” and the gut and toxin detox supplements. I also use the “Green 85″ drink mix as a super-food meal when I need something quick and nourishing. This is my version of a “fast-food meal.”

We should all try to keep our body, especially our liver, as clean and high in nutrients as possible for ultimate health and
well-being. This way we will absorb our nutrients more effectively.

I believe the items that are lacking in most people’s diet today
are healthy types of fiber, chlorophyll-rich green foods, enzymes, and probiotics. The drink mix “Green 85” by Chemical Free Body, has all of those. Quite simply, it is made up of healthy ingredients that most people lack in their normal everyday diet.

The nutrients will feed your body, as well as flush and pull toxins and acids out of your cells. The fiber will absorb these toxins and expand like a sponge. It is important to drink a lot of water, which will create a cleaning effect and help move it through your body. Along with the sponge-like fiber, the toxic particles, plaque, and other debris (that might be lodged in the intestines) will be dragged out.

Each time you cleanse, it will clean out a little more. Think of the layers of an onion. When you start, you will get one layer, and the next time, you will get the next layer. You may eventually find this is a good part of your daily or weekly routine.
I do this cleanse a few times a week, year-round, as a normal part of my life/diet.

All of the food you consume should be efficiently digested, the nutrients absorbed, and the waste eliminated. If you are eating three times per day, then you should be having bowel movements three times per day. The more fiber you ingest, the easier and more efficiently the waste will be eliminated. There is not a set time period for this, but ideally it should be anywhere from 3–12 hours after each meal.

You can test your digestive function by eating a meal of raw or slightly steamed red beets. The deep red color in the bowel movement will allow you to see when that meal is eliminated.
This is an easy way to see if your body is eliminating quickly
and efficiently.

If you feel uncomfortable and are not having bowel movements, you may want to get a colonic series to help get your system cleaned out and moving again. Do this before you do any type of cleanse. You don’t want to add more to the already clogged up bowels.

Drink lots of water and fresh green organic vegetable juices to keep the toxins, acid, and waste moving out of the body.
This is so important!

These cleanses are cleaning out the inside of your body. With the removal of the plaque, waste, and debris, you will also be alkalizing your body with the super detox foods.

You will have to make a personal decision about the length of your cleanse. Many physicians think 21 days is the best length. You may want to consult me or your physician before starting a cleanse, or do the cleanse under his or her guidance. Many wonderful physicians and clinics have juice fasts, cleanses, and other programs you can do under their guidance.

The following will add to the effectiveness of the cleanse and rejuvenation of the body and spirit:
1. Adding some magnesium chloride flakes to your baths
or foot-soaks
2. Taking infrared saunas
3. exercising
4. sweating
5. laughing regularly

Join me for an adventure in food, wellness, peace, and a healthy environment! Our challenge for the month of March is to exercise daily for a minimum of 20 minutes, eat something organic, plant-based and nutrient-dense at least once per day, and do something joyfully creative and fun! Send me your stories!

As summer comes near, let’s all revitalize our health, clean out the old, make room for the new, get healthy, and create more energy in our lives.

]]> The warmer months can sometimes be a struggle if you are hurting from too much sun, poison ivy, poison oak, mosquito bites, fire ants bites, bug bites, or jellyfish stings. Here are a few healthy emergency remedies that may help you have a smooth-sailing summer of fun!

What’s bugging you?

While summer is the time for being outdoors and getting your vitamin D, it can also be a time when bug bites, sunburns, and itchy rashes can be a real challenge.

Whether it is a mosquito or sand fleas, some of these bites can be horribly painful. They can itch so much you almost want to scratch the skin off, which can create scars and wounds.

Mosquitoes don’t normally sting through loose fitting clothing, so this is a good preventative measure. Mosquitoes are attracted to dark colors, while wasps and bees are attracted to light, bright, floral colors.

Non-Toxic, Anti Bug Bite Recipe

A bug bite deterrent that is easy to make yourself is made of a blend of one or more of the following ingredients.

Choose one or two of these organic essential oils (2 tsp. total oil):
Lavender essential oil
Rosemary essential oil
Juniper essential oil
Lemon essential oil

1 cup of 180 proof grain alcohol (you can buy this at a liquor store) You could also use pure water, if you don’t have alcohol.

Directions: Combine a total of 2 tsp. of essential oil with 1 cup of 180 proof grain alcohol.

Place it in a bottle with a tight-fitting lid. (You can also put it in a spray bottle to easily spray on your skin before going outdoors.) Shake well.

Test it on a small patch of skin first to make sure you are not sensitive to the oil and alcohol. If you are alright with the test, use it on your skin to avoid bites.

If you are already bitten and you are itching and wanting to scratch the pain away, here are a few remedies.

1. Rub aloe vera (either freshly cut or from a bottle) on bites and stings to ease burning.

2. Get relief from itches by applying a few drops of lavender oil or tea tree oil to the affected area as needed.

Extreme Itching

Recently I was bitten by some kind of small bug in Florida. I was absolutely miserable. I thought the itching was never going to stop.

I was not sure where I received the bites, or if they were even all the same type of bug or flea bite. It seemed to get worse a few days later and it wasn’t stopping. I was overwhelmed with the itching.

I now use food-grade hydrogen peroxide on all of these hurtful bites, whatever they are. I dab the food-grade hydrogen peroxide on the itching spots with a cotton swab or a cotton ball. This solution will oxygenate the bite or itchy spot and kill any parasite that may be inside the skin, and also oxygenate and destroy any infection in the bite.

Putting the food-grade hydrogen peroxide on the skin where you are itching can hurt a lot, so I would apply the hydrogen peroxide in the bathroom, immediately before getting into the shower to scrub with soap (like a tea tree oil soap) and a body brush. It is very effective and can stop the extreme itching quickly.

You may need to do this each day, until you are sure it has stopped the itch, killed the parasite, or stopped the infection. With much relief, you can be on the road to healing. I order food-grade hydrogen peroxide through the internet. It is extremely strong.
I order 12% and 35% food-grade hydrogen peroxide, and I keep it in my refrigerator at all times.

You will need to be very careful when handling this and keep it out of the reach of children. You may want to use normal over-the-counter (3% grade) hydrogen peroxide, but the food-grade is much stronger (35%) and purer, and I prefer it. You can water it down a bit, if it’s too strong for you.

I love using food-grade hydrogen peroxide for many things. The Global Healing Center has an excellent article on it’s many holistic healing methods of use. https://explore.globalhealing.com/food-grade-hydrogen-peroxide/

The brand I just purchased is from the website Into The Garden Of Eden. Keep it well labeled and in a cool, dark place, so it maintains it’s strength longer.

Bone Alignment

Another thing to know is, that if the backbone is out of alignment, it can cause extreme itching. If the atlas bone at the top of the spine is out of alignment, that can cause extreme itching in the upper arms. (Just on a side note, if the atlas bone is out of alignment, that can also be misdiagnosed as a stroke in elderly people and MS in younger people.) I personally go regularly to my chiropractor to maintain my alignment. My chiropractor,
Dr. Michael Hall, is also a neurologist, and he has treated me on a regular basis for over 16 years. Chiropractors all have different techniques, so find one that is best for you.

Poison Ivy or Poison Oak

Once I went with my husband to hike in the woods with our dog. Our dog was running around in the woods and got poison ivy on his fur. I was petting him and brushing off the sticker burrs, and unknowingly got the poison ivy from his fur. I used tea tree oil on the poison ivy and it was almost gone the next day. I used tea tree oil shampoo on the dog also.

A few years later, one of our house remodeling contractors had a terrible case of poison ivy. He had used cortisone, medicines from the doctor, and everything he could think of for more than four months. He was absolutely miserable.

I gave him my tea tree oil to try. The next day, he came back absolutely astounded at how well it had worked. His poison ivy was gone in a matter of days.

I have found that putting on food-grade hydrogen peroxide first, then washing it with soap and water, and then putting on the tea tree oil, is even more effective. This combination of food-grade hydrogen peroxide followed by tea tree oil also works extremely well for poison oak and fire ant bites as well. I use this combination of hydrogen peroxide followed by the tea tree oil on any itchy place, bite, or rash. It is especially good for bites that have a fluid in them.

Tea tree oil has antibacterial properties. It is not supposed to be used on an open wound.

I used it on a large swollen bite my son had on his back. It was the middle of the night and we were staying in a remote hotel built into the side of a mountain in Greece, with no medical care nearby. I didn’t know what to do, so I kept putting tea tree oil on it.

The following day, the swelling had gone down to half, and by the next day, it was almost completely gone. We were so thankful.

Another use for tea tree oil is for chickenpox.

My son got chickenpox when he was four. He is a redhead and has very sensitive skin. I put tea tree oil directly on each spot all over his body. I thought it would help him not to itch or scratch. In the morning, his chickenpox outbreak was gone, with no scars, no itching, and no complications. It was amazing.

His doctor was completely astonished, as was his preschool teacher. I have used it on just about everything ever since.

In my opinion, the New Zealand variety of tea tree oil smells better than the Australian type, but both work really well. You can also use aloe vera leaf gel on the rash to soothe and promote healing.

Baths

Organic oatmeal baths are good for calming us down, as well as encouraging healing of any skin irritations. Use 1/2 to 1 cup organic oatmeal in the bath and soak for about 20 minutes.

Wheatgrass juice baths and bentonite clay baths are also both helpful to detoxify the skin and heal irritations. You can get wheatgrass powder and bentonite clay powder for baths at the health food store. Just follow the directions on the package.

Jelly Fish Stings

Jelly Fish Stings If you go to the beach, a jellyfish sting can really hurt. If you have some lemon or limes, rub the cut fruit on the place that hurts. The citrus can help take the pain out.

Natural Sun Protection

I personally do not wear sunscreen and I don’t recommend them at all. Sunscreens reportedly reduce vitamin D3 levels in the blood by up to 99 percent.(1)

What do you do about sunscreen if you need to be outside for long periods? Stay in the shade when you can, wear protective clothing/ hats.

According to Dr. Elizabeth Plourde sunscreens have carcinogenic ingredients and hormone disrupters that should be avoided: oxtinoxate, octisalate, oxybenzone, homosalate, avobenzone, and retinyl palmitate (a form of vitamin A). Check all sunscreens for these ingredients. They absorb easily through the skin and are toxic when combined with sun exposure.

Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide have been called safe, and reportedly do not penetrate the skin. But, Dr. Plourde said that her research shows her that none of them are safe. Micronized metals will penetrate the skin and enter the bloodstream, resulting in cancer and tumors. Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is a known carcinogen.

Dr. Elizabeth Plourde, in her research paper “Exposing the Hazards of Sunscreen,” says there is concern that “sunscreen chemicals should be examined in relation to rising autism rates.”(2) In her work she states that “Sunscreens are endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDC’s) or TiO2 or ZnO nanoparticles. Current research shows these are toxic to all life.” (3)

To learn more, you can read Dr. Plourde’s book “Sunscreens – Biohazard: Treat As Hazardous Waste.”

Drinking carrot juice, and eating carrots, sweet potatoes, or tomato sauce is a natural way to protect yourself from too much sun during the summer. The beta-carotene and lycopene in these vegetables gives the body some natural sun protection. You can also wear thick clothing that covers your skin but doesn’t contain chemicals.

Clothing treated with chemicals such as titanium or zinc oxide will break down in the wash, enter the water supply, and create hazards to the ecosystem.

Now I am using a new night-time cream by Lifewave along with the Alavida patch for my sun and after sun cream. The company discovered that this night-time Alavida cream is very good for healing sunburn.

These Lifewave patches are embedded with crystals and don’t have any kind of drug in them. They work off the body’s infrared heat and work on the meridians like acupucture does. I absolutely love them.

The x39 patch actually activates the body’s own GHK- CU copper peptide, and I have found them to be extremely helpful for wound healing, pain, and my overall health and well-being. (If you want to know more about these Lifewave products, please text or email me at 214-202-9243 or nancyalisa@protonmail.com.)

So, whenever you are outside, get some natural Vitamin D, put on some natural bug protection, wear natural clothing to protect yourself from too much sun, eat beta-carotene-rich foods, and get into the shade if you feel you have been out too long.

Enjoy your sunshine, nature, exercise, and fresh air!

I hope these healthy tips help make your outdoor adventures safer and more enjoyable!

The post Spring Cleaning The Non-Toxic Way! appeared first on Organic Healthy Life - Nancy Addison - Nutrition.

]]> No matter what is going on around us, it is important to stay grounded, take care of ourselves and our home, get off the computer for a while, get connected with ourselves, and be organized.

It’s spring, and time for a fresh start after the long, cold winter.

We’ve had the house all closed up, and now it’s time to air it out, let in some clean, fresh air, dust out the spiders or little critters that may have joined us for the winter, and brighten up our home and environment.

A few simple things to start with are:

1. Open up the windows and doors and let the fresh air into your house. Replace the filters of your air conditioning system.

2. Wash your windows. It can be an amazing way to make your home or office look clean and sparkling.

3. Bring in a beautiful plant to lift your spirits and help clean toxins out of the air.

4. Clean out your refrigerator and pantry.

5. Clean out all of the corners of the rooms (floor and ceiling), behind furniture (if you can), under furniture and beds.

6. De-clutter closets, rooms, drawers… Start to redistribute or throw out things that you haven’t used in a year or more, or that are old, stained, broken or don’t make you feel happy.

7. Wash curtains, bedding pads, turn mattresses, and freshen-up thoroughly.

8. Go through piles of paper, organize them into files, or discard them. I color-code my files so they are easier to find.

One thing to be aware of as you are doing your cleaning, is that most of our cleaning care products today are a mixture of synthetic chemicals, including known allergens. These products are based on age-old recipes, that used to include natural ingredients.

But over the years, many of our cleaning products have changed, and many of them now contain toxic, carcinogenic ingredients. These can cause health problems when we are exposed to them on a regular basis.

The federal Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act, which governs the safety of cleaning and personal care products, does not require manufacturers to substantiate the safety of their products before selling them.

For example, some US soaps, detergents, shampoos and conditioners will often contain two chemical preservatives — methylisothiazolinone and methylchloroisothiazolinone.

These chemicals have been banned in the European Union for use in personal care products, on the grounds that they are sensitizing allergens.

The U.S. has no restrictions, even though your skin is repeatedly exposed to these substances when used. Product labels can list “fragrance” as an ingredient. “Fragrance” is a generic term, which allows a number of carcinogenic chemicals to be added to a product in order to make it smell good, without having to be listed.

These chemical mixtures often contain toxic individual ingredients that have been linked to cancer, endocrine disruption and serious allergic reactions.

By using the term “fragrance” on the label, companies can avoid telling consumers the truth about what is actually in the product. If one company sells their products in Europe and in the US, they can make a particular product with two different recipes and two separate labels, but they will look virtually identical.

In Europe, where the regulation of ingredients in products is much stricter, the container will have to state that it contains seven known allergens in its “fragrance.” In the US, the list of known toxins is not required. As is the case with all (personal and household) products, companies can use almost any mixture of chemicals they choose.

The US federal law regulating the personal care and household products industry has one of the weakest regulatory programs in the world, and it remains almost unchanged since 1938.

The quality of the ingredients in your household cleaning products is extremely important. Buy environmentally safe, non-toxic home cleaners. If you would like to see a list of highly rated green products that are carefully rated by the EWG (a non-profit group that does independent analyses of products for their safety, non-toxicity, and effectiveness), click here.

Here is another thing to be aware of:

Since our pets and children are much lower to the ground, their faces and noses can pick up toxic chemicals much easier. This can cause many health problems, including nerve damage and allergies, since these toxins go directly into the bloodstream through the skin, without being filtered.

Household cleaners and body care items, such as soaps, detergents, household cleaners, toothpastes, shampoo, and conditioners should ideally be non-toxic and non-carcinogenic, in order to protect you, your family, pets, friends and the environment.

Have you ever read the ingredients and warnings on your bottle of cleaner?

The other day, I was at a friend’s home and she had just mopped her floor. I got an immediate headache and started feeling sick. I asked her if I could look on the bottle of the cleaner she had used. The label on the bottle had a warning that stated if you breathe in the fumes of this product, to call the poison control immediately.

I told her that many of these cleaners are highly toxic and can cause more harm than good. She wanted to kill germs, so she thought she was doing the right thing.

Her grandchild crawling on the floor and her little 16-year-old dog, whose face is always very close to the floor, would be much better off if she used non-toxic cleaners.

Non-toxic cleaning can give you a wonderful feeling, knowing that your family’s and pet’s health is protected, and that your home is a place for everyone’s bodies to rest and regenerate in a clean, healthy environment.

You also might want to consider going back to making your own cleaning products, using completely safe, non-toxic ingredients. They are extremely easy to make, and very inexpensive. Invite your children to help you, like mixing recipes in the kitchen. (Make it a science project!)

Most of the ingredients are staples that you already have in your kitchen pantry. With a few simple mixtures, you can easily transform your house into a non-toxic, healthy home.

Non-Toxic Household Cleaner Recipes

Basic Cleaner for Surfaces
Hydrogen Peroxide (3%) and White Vinegar
In a study conducted at Virginia Tech University on household cleaners that kill germs (including salmonella), the most effective cleaner was a combination of 3% hydrogen peroxide (like you purchase at the pharmacy) in conjunction with white vinegar. The hydrogen peroxide and vinegar were put into SEPARATE spray bottles. One was sprayed on a contaminated surface, immediately followed by the other. Used in this way, the sprays were more effective at killing germs than any store bought product. It didn’t matter which one was sprayed first, the vinegar or the peroxide.
DO NOT be tempted to combine the hydrogen peroxide and the vinegar in one bottle, because it results in peracetic acid, which is potentially harmful. Use the 3% hydrogen peroxide from the pharmacy instead of a food grade hydrogen peroxide, which is much stronger and needs to be used with extreme caution.

Window Cleaner
Combine 2 cups of water, 1⁄4 cup of rubbing alcohol (isopropyl), 1⁄4 cup white vinegar, 2 tsp. corn starch and a 1⁄4 cup lemon juice in a spray bottle. Shake well before using. Spray this mixture on glass or windows, and wipe with a micro-fiber cloth.

Scrub for Counters, Sinks, and Stoves
Combine 2 cups baking soda, 1⁄2 cup Castile soap, 4 teaspoons vegetable glycerin, and a few drops essential oil (lavender, peppermint, or tea tree). Store in a sealed jar.

Drain Opener
Pour 1⁄2 cup baking soda into the drain, and then pour in 1⁄2 cup white vinegar. Let stand 30 minutes. Flush with boiling water.

Furniture Polish
Combine 1⁄4 cup olive oil with 1⁄2 cup white vinegar. Add 2 teaspoons lemon juice. Apply to furniture, and then wipe.

Toilet Bowl Cleaner
Sprinkle the bowl of the toilet with baking soda and add in a little white vinegar. Wait 30 minutes. Then scrub. You can also add 1⁄4 cup borax.

Purchased Cleaners
I buy Thieves Household Cleaner, and other Thieves cleaners made by Young Living Oils. It is my favorite manufactured cleaner to use on the floor and walls. It is safe for septic systems, has no harsh chemical smell, and is effective for deep cleaning.

I also like non-toxic cleaner brands Mrs. Meyer’s, Seventh Generation, and Planet. I buy these non-toxic cleaners for dishwashers, laundry, dishes, and more.

Creating that healthy home and office environment that supports you and your family’s health and well-being can be extremely rewarding.

Don’t put it off another day.
Put on some uplifting music and start your clean cleaning today!

]]> I co-authored “Alive and Cooking” with my friend Maryann De Leo. Half of the book is recipes and the other half is health, nutrition, and lifestyle information for older adults and people taking care of elderly parents.

Maryann’s dear friend Chris’s mother (Gladys) was known for her delicious Irish stew. This is an easy gluten-free recipe that makes about 4 to 6 servings. You can substitute chopped mushrooms for the beef and make it vegetarian/vegan. I thought this might be something you can prepare for Saint Patrick’s Day, if you celebrate that.

Ingredients:

1 1⁄2 lb. organic grass-fed, humanely raised chuck beef

2 T. organic, pure, unprocessed coconut oil

2 1⁄2 cups tomato sauce

2 1⁄2 c. high-quality water with no chemicals

3 large potatoes

2 medium red onions

3 carrots, sliced

Sprig of parsley for garnish (optional)

Mineral-rich salt to taste

Pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Cut chuck beef into cubes.

2. Heat oil in a pot and add the beef cubes.

3. Brown beef on all sides.

4. Drain off oil/grease.

5. Add tomato sauce and water.

6. When meat is almost cooked, add potatoes, onions, carrots, salt, and pepper, and cook until tender.

7. Serve warm with sprigs of parsley to garnish (optional).

Variations:

1. Substitute potatoes with color, like purple or red-skinned, or golden for white potatoes.

2. I substituted pure, extra-virgin, organic coconut oil for the vegetable oil she had in her recipe, for a healthier stew.

NOTE:

1. You can substitute sliced mushrooms for the beef to make it vegetarian.

2. ALWAYS buy pure organic coconut oil.
Avoid any type of “Fractionated” Coconut oil. It is a Trans-Fat and is TERRIBLE for your health. It is sold as a liquid and many people use it for their essential oils mixer oil.
I would recommend NEVER USING it for ANYTHING!

]]> As Valentine’s Day draws near, my research shows that hugs can actually ward off stress and protect the immune system. It is my opinion (after 35 years of research) that isolation or “social distancing” can actually harm your health.

According to research by psychologist Dr. Sheldon Cohen, hugs can actually protect our health and improve our immune system.

“We know that people experiencing ongoing conflicts with others are less able to fight off cold viruses. 

”We also know that people who report having social support are partly protected from the effects of stress on psychological states, such as depression and anxiety,” the study’s lead author, psychologist Dr. Sheldon Cohen, said in a statement. “We tested whether perceptions of social support are equally effective in protecting us from stress-induced susceptibility to infection and also whether receiving hugs might partially account for those feelings of support and themselves protect a person against infection.”

I remember a story I read about two twin baby girls. When they were born on Oct. 17, 1995, they were premature by 12 weeks and were put in the neonatal intensive care unit of the Medical Center in Central Massachusetts in Worcester.

As a standard practice of the hospital, the babies were placed into separate incubators in order to reduce the risk of infection. One baby, Kyrie, was much larger than her sister Brielle, who only weighed two pounds at her birth. The larger baby, Kyrie, slept well and was healthily gaining weight, but her smaller sister, Brielle, was having trouble breathing and had low levels of oxygen in her blood, as well as low weight gain and problems with her heart rate.

Everyone was deeply concerned, especially a particular nurse named Gayle Kasparian, who was trying everything that she could think of to help Brielle. Then, on Nov. 12th, Brielle had an emergency health situation. She started gasping for air and started turning a gray-blue color. Then she got hiccups, and her heart rate went way up. Everyone was so afraid Brielle would not survive.

In desperation, nurse Kasparian remembered a common procedure a fellow colleague had mentioned to her once that was common practice in most of Europe, but was not done here in this country.

It was the practice of placing “newborn baby multiple births” in beds together. They called it double bedding. Even though she could not ask permission from her manager, since she was away and was not able to reached, she asked the parents for their permission to put the girls together in one bed to see if it would help. They agreed. So, nurse Gayle broke the rules and placed the larger baby with her smaller baby sister, now in extreme danger of dying.

The moment they were placed together in the bed, Brielle immediately snuggled up to her sister and within minutes, Brielle’s readings for her blood and oxygen levels were better than they had been since her birth. Kyrie gently put her arm around Brielle. It was such a beautiful hug.

In the article I read, they called it a rescuing hug. It was a very powerful hug. Being together had quite literally saved Brielle’s life. Soon after that, the parents were able to take the girls home, because they both were thriving.

Nurse Gayle did not get in trouble. In fact, the practice of double bedding multiple births is now standard practice at the hospital. Sometimes, breaking the rules can lead to changes in old antiquated practices. It takes courage and a strong heart to do what you believe in.

So, as we lead our busy lives, remember that our connectedness and our ability to love are so precious, that we can literally save another’s life by just being there for them.

So, share those wonderful hugs with your loved ones.

Take the time to truly listen, be present and reach out with the most precious gift you can give.
That is the precious gift of you.

You may never know how much of an impact your hug and/or your smile might have on another life, but it is something you can give every day without spending a penny.

I am mentally sending hugs to you all!

Much love, and have a joyful and loving month of February.

Love, Nancy

Tahini is a sesame butter/paste, that is popular in Middle Eastern cuisine. “Studies show sesamol, a natural chemical found in sesame seeds and sesame oil, has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-aging benefits. Other studies say it also has strong anti-cancer effects. Sesame seeds have more phytosterols than other nuts and seeds, and these plant compounds have been shown to help lower cholesterol.”

Tahini is made of three ingredients: hulled sesame seeds, oil, and often-times salt. Hulled sesame seeds are normally toasted, and then ground to create a smooth, creamy seed butter with a pourable consistency. My daughter Amanda taught me this recipe over Thanksgiving. It is a marvelous way to make leafy greens delectable! You can serve this sauce over any variety of greens you sauté or steam, and it can be served over cooked brown rice or quinoa to make a main dish. Raw vegetables are also good with this sauce. In the photo above, we had raw endives with it as an appetizer. Amanda sprinkled a little turmeric and spirulina on the top as a garnish. This sauce, with some raisins, is scrumptious on roasted cauliflower.* (recipe below)

This sauce is gluten-free, vegan, healthy, savory, simple, rich in protein, and delicious! The tahini sauce with sautéed or steamed greens makes a fantastic dish to serve at special group meals, because it accommodates people with special dining requirements.
This recipe makes about ½ cup. It will serve two people. It is easy to double or triple this recipe. It stores well in an air-tight glass container in the refrigerator.

Ingredients

½ cup of organic, raw Tahini

Juice of half a lemon or lime

Add salt, black pepper, and garlic powder or fresh minced garlic to taste

Note: Use these measurements, if you require specific amounts.

1/8 tsp. mineral-rich salt

1/8 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

1/8 tsp. garlic powder or two cloves of fresh minced garlic

Directions

1. Combine all the ingredients in a small bowl.

2. Pour or spoon over your vegetables of choice.

3. Serve warm

Roasted Cauliflower With Tahini Sauce Recipe

Ingredients

1 head organic cauliflower

organic coconut oil for cooking

mineral-rich salt

1/2 or 1 cup organic raisins

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

2. Cut up cauliflower into bit-size flowerets.

3. Coat the cauliflower with coconut oil, sprinkle with salt, and place in a baking dish.

4. Bake the cauliflower for about 20 minutes or until it is soft enough to eat.

5. While the cauliflower is roasting, make the tahini sauce and add the raisins to the mixture.

6. When the cauliflower is ready, remove it from the heat, coat the cauliflower generously with the tahini sauce and raisins.

7. Place this coated cauliflower with tahini sauce back in the baking dish and put it back in the oven for about 3 minutes, until the raisins are soft.

8. Serve warm.

Be sure to add that main ingredient!
The main ingredient is always LOVE!

]]> May all the joys of this beautiful season be yours!

One of my favorite things to do at Christmas time

is to make a warm cozy drink.

 

Two of my favorite winter holiday drinks are Vegan Eggnog and Cinnamon Chai Tea Latte.
Here are the recipes!

Vegan Eggnog

This is an easy recipe to make and it is vegan and gluten-free.

Ingredients:

1½ c. unsweetened vanilla coconut or hemp milk

1 organic banana

Pinch of nutmeg

1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

1 tsp. raw date sugar or maple syrup (or raw honey – which is not vegan.)

Directions:

1. Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until creamy.

2. Sprinkle a tiny bit of nutmeg on the top of the filled cups for a nice presentation.

Note: This recipe is easy to double.

Serves one to two.

 

Cinnamon Chai Tea Latte

This is a holiday drink made with Ceylon Cinnamon, which boosts your immune system, aids in digestion, circulation, and helps regulate blood sugar. If you have a froth maker, that is great, if not just use a whisk or fork to mix it with and make it lighter.

gluten-free/vegetarian

Ingredients:

2 cups unsweetened vanilla coconut or hemp milk (milk of choice)

1 tsp. Blue Lotus Rooibos Chai (Blue Lotus Chai – made with organic spices. It’s an instant tea that doesn’t require steeping and it’s gluten-free!)

2 tsp. date sugar or honey (to taste)

A few dashes of Ceylon Cinnamon

½ tsp. vanilla extract

Directions:

1. Put the tea and the sweetener of choice in your cup.

2. Warm your coconut or hemp milk on the stove making it warm to touch, but not too hot.

3. When it’s just warm, add about 1/2 a cup of the milk to your cup. (If you have a frother, use a frother to mix it well or whisk it to blend.)

4. Add the remainder of your milk and sprinkle a touch of cinnamon on top!

5. Serve warm.

 

Note:

Cinnamon is a spice, and it’s obtained from the inner bark of a few tree species. Research shows that cinnamon can help lower blood sugar, cholesterol, and triglyceride levels in people with Type 2 diabetes. Cinnamon contains antioxidants that create healthier arteries and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Cinnamon can also benefit us with increased alertness and energized senses. Even a teaspoon a day helps tame blood sugar levels.

Ceylon cinnamon is the best cinnamon to use. Cassia, Saigon, and Chinese cinnamon contain five percent coumarin, which is problematic for the liver. Ceylon cinnamon has only .0004 percent coumarin.

 

It has been a bit of a challenging couple of years for us all.
Let’s raise our vibration and keep our immune system strong.
Please join me in putting on a smile, wherever you are
or whatever circumstances you may be in.

A smile can create health and well-being in your body.
Let’s allow our inner light to shine.

Put a smile on your face,
and let that light shine in your heart.


Holidays can be tough, so I challenge you,
my dearest friends to push through this…
put on some joyful music, smile, dance,
find something positive to think about
(no matter what is around you),
volunteer somewhere,
and be your beautiful, amazing,
incredible, unique, divine self!

Here are a few songs I have been enjoying in 432 HZ,
which is the healthiest tone to help us be in our best health!
If you want to know more about 432 HZ
and why I recommend it, click here to read about it.


The Christmas Song (432 hz) Nat King Cole

I wish you a healthy, joyful, loving holiday season!!

Know that I love you, I am grateful for you,
and I have you in my heart now and always.

All my blessings and best wishes,

Love, Nancy

]]> Pear Bread Recipe

Pear Bread is a delicious fruit-filled bread recipe. It is naturally sweet and full of flavor with fresh pears, cinnamon, vanilla, and nuts. This recipe makes a savory, special breakfast dish for holiday occasions or anytime.

I started making this recipe, because my sweet neighbor kept bringing me lots of pears off her pear trees. They are the harder pear variety that are used mainly in baking recipes.

I use gluten-free flour in the recipe. The tapioca flour helps the flour bind better. You can use gluten-containing flour with this recipe, but you won’t need the tapioca flour if you do use gluten-containing flour.

This bread is wonderful alone, or it also makes an excellent bread to crumble in my baked pear crumble recipe (recipe follows below).

Ingredients

3 large Eggs, room temperature

3/4 cup pure Coconut Oil

1-1/2 cups Raw Sugar (date or coconut is good)

1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

3 cups Coconut or whole-grain Oat Flour

2 T. Tapioca Flour

2 teaspoons Baking Powder

2 teaspoons ground Ceylon Cinnamon

1 teaspoon Baking Soda

1-½  teaspoons Himalayan or Real Salt

4 cups of Baking Pears, peeled, cored and chopped

1 tablespoon Lemon or Lime Juice

1/2 cup chopped Walnuts or Pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease and flour an 8×4 inch loaf pan. You can also line the bottom of the pan with some greased parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl whisk together eggs, oil, sugar and vanilla extract until well-blended.
  3. In a separate bowl sift together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda and salt.
  4. Add flour mixture to the wet ingredients and whisk until just combined.
  5. Toss chopped pears with lemon juice.
  6. Fold the chopped pears and nuts in by hand until just combined and pour into the pan.
  7. Bake the bread for fifty to sixty minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Let cool.

Note:
1. Baking pears are usually harder and less sweet than many of the softer pear varieties. Choose the hardest fresh pear variety for this recipe.

  1. You can also use canned pears if that is all you have available.
  2. Apples and Asian pears can be substituted in this recipe.

 

Baked Pear Crumble Recipe

 

Ingredients

4 or 5 large baking Pears (cored, seeded, and sliced in half)

1 stick Butter

1 T. Ceylon Cinnamon

1 T. Nutmeg Powder

1 Pear Bread Recipe baked and ready to use in this recipe.

Baking dishes – 13 x 9 or 14 x 10 will both work well.

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Place the large pears in the baking dish and sprinkle with the nutmeg and cinnamon.
  3. Slice the butter in small pieces.
  4. Place half of the small pieces of butter on the pears before baking.
  5. Bake the pears about 20 minutes or until soft.
  6. Remove from heat.
  7. Crumble the cooked pear bread over the baked pears and dot with last half of the butter pieces.
  8. Then warm the bread crumble with baked pears in the oven until warm enough to serve.
  9. Serve for breakfast alone, or you can serve this dish topped with whipping cream or ice cream as a dessert.

]]> Even though it can be a little more challenging these days,
we have long held the tradition of sharing a meal with family and friends during the holidays. I feel it is more important than ever to get together and laugh, hug each other, communicate,
and share meals.

However, many of our holiday foods often involve a number of rich, savory foods, creamy dips and fried foods. These foods taste good, but they don’t always make our body feel its best. Here are a few ingredient or food choice tips that can make our dishes healthier to share with our family and friends.

A potato dish can be made with sweet or purple potatoes in place of white potatoes. Use a high-quality organic butter, or use organic ghee or coconut oil as the healthy fat for mashed potatoes or when baking fries. Sweet potatoes are delicious and high in fiber and beta-carotene.

The reason I would recommend a colorful potato over a white potato is that they are loaded with antioxidants. Antioxidants are the color pigments in foods, so plant foods with vibrant colors are extremely high in antioxidants. Antioxidants counteract the assault of free radicals.

My children always asked me to make my purple mashed potatoes when they had friends visit for dinner because they thought it was fun. These days, my grandson frequently asks if we are going to have purple potatoes to eat when I come to visit. So this year, I encourage you to make some delicious and extraordinary foods for the holidays that are also healthy!

For a healthy stuffing, try making one with organic sprouted rice or even wild rice. Then, bake your stuffing in a separate dish instead of cooking it inside the turkey (where it can absorb a high amount of saturated fat from the meat). Also, use vegetable broth in place of chicken broth. Doing both of these things allow the vegetarian or vegan diners to be able to enjoy that dish as well.

When making cornbread stuffing, purchase the non-GMO, organic cornmeal (which is free of the Bt toxin). (The stuffing can be gluten-free if you use gluten-free cornmeal.) If you are feeling brave, try using blue cornmeal, which is about 30 percent higher in protein and has more zinc and iron than white or yellow corn.

When preparing creature (beef, lamb, pork, fowl, fish) foods, try using a little orange juice and coconut oil to add moisture, and try baking it instead of frying it. If you are baking, frying or sautéing anything, use organic, pure coconut oil in place of: lard, vegetable oil or a trans-fat like Crisco. It handles heat well and has fantastic health benefits.

You can also grill, broil, or sauté them in a little coconut oil. After you remove them from the heat, you can drizzle some pure, organic, extra virgin olive oil on them and possibly top it off with some lemon or lime juice or a lemon or lime juice vinaigrette. When dining, choose skinless, white meat pieces, and then add just a tiny bit of gravy.

Now for dessert, try making a pumpkin pie! You can make a whole sprouted grain crust yourself or you can find a whole grain ready-made crust at the store, and make my cashew crème recipe as the whipped cream for the topping. (Recipe is on page 185 in my How To Be A Healthy Vegetarian, 2nd edition.) I also love having a simple pitted date as a sweet treat or dessert. It’s just fruit, and it is a healthier choice.

Try using non-dairy milk (or if you are fortunate to be near a raw, organic farm with raw goat or cow milk, that is healthier also) in your recipes or for your coffee creamer. If you want it to be sweeter, blend the milk (like the organic, unsweetened, vanilla coconut or hemp milk) with a little extra added vanilla or maple extract in a blender and add some pitted dates. I soak the dates in water to make them softer, so they will crème up easier, and voilà … you have a healthier version of a sweet, holiday creamer for your coffee or desserts!

When making or serving snacks, try an easy dip option such as a healthy high-protein hummus or nutritious guacamole. Cutting some cucumber, red bell pepper or celery to use as the dipping chips is also a great choice!

I frequently cut up and serve fresh green beans with a tiny bit of mineral-rich salt sprinkled on them and serve them as finger food appetizers. I like to eat them alone with the mineral-rich salt, but green beans also go well served with hummus, bean dip, or onion dip. Green beans have some amazing health benefits, and this is one of my favorite ways to serve them.

Green beans are high in orthosilicic acid, which is a natural substance found in seafood, certain mineral waters, vegetables, whole grains, and certain beverages (including beer). Orthosilicic acid is sometimes referred to as soluble silica. Orthosilicic acid is a dietary form of silicon. Silicon is a mineral involved in the formation of collagen and bone. Silicon can help detoxify the body (from aluminum) and also help build strong bones.

If you want to serve crackers or chips, try using a whole grain, sprouted, organic version or an organic sweet potato chip or cracker. (Late July is a good brand for chips and Mary’s Gone Cracker’s is my favorite cracker these days. Mary’s Gone Crackers also has delicious gluten-free crackers.)

For additional snacks that are easy for travel or on the go, try combinations of organic, sprouted nuts, sprouted seeds, olives, pitted dates, raisins, dry fruits, kale chips and coconut chips.

Here are some easy substitutions I use frequently:

1. Unsweetened yogurt or cottage cheese in place of sour cream

2. Hummus or mashed avocado instead of mayonnaise for sandwiches

3. Unsweetened vanilla coconut or hemp milk in place of dairy

With these ingredient substitutions, you can still enjoy all of the delicious flavors you love, and at the same time, you can increase your health benefits.

Eating this way, you can feel and look your very best as holiday activities continue into January. Instead of regretting what you ate, you will glow with radiant health as you welcome the
New Year of 2022!

The post Plan Ahead And Be Prepared appeared first on Organic Healthy Life - Nancy Addison - Nutrition.

]]> Fall is here and winter is coming. As Willy, my squirrel would do, plan ahead and set aside some winter provisions.

As in the past, it is ALWAYS a good idea to be prepared and have plenty of supplies on hand. However, with all of the recent happenings in the world today, I highly recommend to you, now more than ever before, the importance of stocking up on all of the essential items you might need right now, instead of waiting until something happens and the shelves become bare.
At the current moment, even as I am writing this, there are problems with transporting food, getting parts, and there are full container ships in port with no workers to unload them. The freeze last year killed a third of the wheat crops, and many other crops have been devastated due to all of the other natural disasters.

Prices are starting to rise, although items are still currently available for the most part. But with all of these things and more happening on a daily basis, there could possibly be some shortages of foods and other items taking place.

There is no reason to panic, but I recommend that you make a list and try to stock up on the basic supplies that are necessary for your and your family’s lives. Then you will be calm and ready in case there is any shortage of food, water, medical supplies, or other necessary items.
Whether you are getting ready for a storm, a hurricane, or a shortage of provisions, it is always a good idea to keep some emergency supplies ready for yourself and your family.
Here are some ideas for what you might need.

The best foods are those that do not need to be eaten immediately and can be stored for a while. Foods that you can put in a bin and store are dried pasta, chips, crackers, sauces, jars or cans of food, (make sure you have a can opener), cans or jars of vegetables, beans, lentils, fish, or meats, boxes of alternative kinds of milk, powdered milk, cereals, protein powders, green food powders, superfoods, teas, mineral-rich salt, spices, nut butter, food bars, flours, packs of organic seeds (that you can sprout or grow), coconut oil, avocado oil, raw apple cider vinegar, miso, raw organic honey, supplements for health (like vitamin C). baking soda, baking powder, baby foods, and food for pets.

Clean some glass bottles and fill them with water and label them. Keep them together, where you can easily access them if you need them. You can use wine boxes that have dividers in them, and stack them in your garage or utility room. These will come in handy for basic water needs.
Buy some extra bottles of mineral-rich water and coconut water. These do not go bad, and it is always a good idea to have extra water on hand. (You might also consider getting a water filter to use without electricity, along with extra water filters.)

I would purchase extra body care provisions, including bandages, salves, medical supplements, magnesium chloride bath flakes, oil, or lotions, soaps, hydrogen peroxide, vinegar, borax, personal care products, eye care extras, dental care items, baby care items, elder care items, and toilet paper.
Purchase anything you use on a regular basis: cleaning supplies, pet supplies, baby care supplies, and garden supplies.

I would also recommend getting extra candles, batteries, matches, flashlights, solar chargers, a towel, maybe a deck of cards or a game that doesn’t require technology, a book, your bible or book for your faith, paper, pen, and emergency numbers for people you might need to call. Write them down in a book.

Another good item would be Walkie-Talkies for your family and neighbors to use, a portable, non-electric outdoor cooker and supplies, extra blankets or winter clothing, a tarp, some tools, and duct tape.

I recommend that you put your important papers, cash, and other important items in a safe place that is easy to get and take with you if you need to leave in a hurry.

Other supplies you might think about purchasing are electronics, computers and supplies, and car supplies (oil, tires, battery, gas can fill with gas), extra ink for your printer, extra paper, or backup drive.

You might also consider buying presents for future occasions. That could make life much less stressful if you can purchase them now.

It is always smart to think ahead and you will be prepared for anything.
I hope this helps you.

]]> It’s August and it is pretty hot right now in Texas.

August is a good time for fresh, tree-ripened peaches!
With all the fresh fruit available right now, this is the perfect time to make refreshing, home-made popsicles that are vegan, vegetarian, raw, gluten-free and very hydrating!

The great thing about freezing fresh fruit is that it retains the vitamin C in it when frozen.

Ingredients:

1 lb. organic peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced

1 c. pure mineral-rich water

Juice of one orange

Directions:

  1. Blend all ingredients in food processor until smooth and creamy.
  2. Pour into a popsicle mold and place in freezer until firm.

Variation: Add a banana to the mixture in the food processor and make a sorbet that can be eaten like ice cream without a popsicle mold!

Note: You can use the peach peel for the extra nutrients, but it looks “prettier” without the peel.

Yu can use mango or pineapple instead of peaches.

The post Keeping Our Body Alkaline appeared first on Organic Healthy Life - Nancy Addison - Nutrition.

Recently, I have been reading more and more about how the pH (alkalinity) of our body is critical to our overall health. Our bodies become acidic through stress and the foods we eat. The concept of balancing acid in the body has been around since the 1930’s when Dr. William Howard Hay published a book called A New Health Era, in which he proclaimed that all disease was caused by an accumulation of acid in the body. In a more recent book, Alkalize or Die,Dr. Theodore A. Baroody, ND, DC, PhD, says essentially the same thing: “The countless names of illnesses do not really matter. What does matter is that they all come from the same root cause. . . too much tissue acid waste in the body!” (1)

The pH of a substance is a measurement of how acidic or alkaline it is, ranging from a pH level of 0 (totally acidic) to 14 (totally alkaline). You can buy pH strips at most health food stores to check your body’s pH. The Natural Health School advises you should test the pH of your saliva two days a week—one hour before a meal, or two hours after. They note that “if your saliva stays between 6.5 and 7.5 all day, your body is functioning within a healthy range.” (2)

The body’s ideal pH is 7.2. Our pH is critical to survival and health, and it is as important as body temperature. The more acid in our bodies, the more fat cells our bodies make. If we can eliminate these acids, we give our body no reason to create or hang on to additional fat.According to Doctors Robert and Shelley Redford Young:

The over-acidification of the body set in motion a destructive cycle of imbalance, overweight, and disease… Too much acid in the body robs the blood of oxygen, and without oxygen, the metabolism slows. Foods digest more slowly, inducing weight gain and sluggishness and, worse still, causing the food to ferment (rot!). Fermentation creates yeast, fungus, and mold throughout the body. These are all living organisms, so they need to “eat”. When they overgrow in an acidic body, they feed on your nutrients, reducing the chemical and mechanical absorption of everything you eat by as much as 50 percent. (3)

Mild acidosis has been linked by the Natural Health School to such problems as:

· Cardiovascular damage, including the constriction of blood vessels and the reduction of oxygen.

· Weight gain, obesity, and diabetes.

· Bladder and kidney conditions, including kidney stones.

· Immune deficiency.

· Acceleration of free radical damage, possibly contributing to cancerous mutations.

· Hormone concerns.

· Premature aging.

· Osteoporosis; weak, brittle bones, hip fractures, and bone spurs.

· Joint pain, aching muscles, and lactic acid buildup.

· Low energy and chronic fatigue.

· Slow digestion and elimination.

· Yeast/fungal overgrowth. (4)

Tullio Simoncini MD, an oncologist in Italy, has a highly successful cancer protocol using bicarbonate soda directly on cancer tumors. He has found that bicarbonate soda dissolves tumors fairly quickly, without side effects. You can look at his protocal on-line. (5)

Disease can thrive in an acidic environment, so maintaining the right pH is important for health. Regular cleansing is vital for creating a more alkaline environment in the body.

A diet high in fresh fruits and vegetables (juiced or in whole-food form) contributes to an alkaline-rich diet that can help with the maintenance of the body’s pH. Whole, organic, raw, living foods are more alkalizing, while processed foods are very acidic.

Drinking freshly juiced grasses, fruits, and vegetables can help flush the toxins out of the body, feed the body on a deep cellular level with live enzymes, and alkalize the body. Drink fresh juice within 20 minutes of juicing to get the maximum nutrient benefits.

Here is a list of alkalizing foods, from most alkalizing to least alkalizing:

The post What Is Raw & Living Food With Enzymes? appeared first on Organic Healthy Life - Nancy Addison - Nutrition.

]]>

I have had some questions lately concerning enzymes and raw food. I am a certified raw food chef.

Enzymes and living food foster good health.

Enzymes are vital for healing the body, and also helping you look youthful, feel healthier, and become more energized.

Enzymes are small molecules used by all the cells in the body to make new proteins, nucleic acids, fats, sugars, and therefore provide the energy required to run all the functions of the cell.

Consuming foods rich with living enzymes will also make you feel more satisfied, because your body is getting fed nutrient-rich food on a deep cellular level. Food cravings are usually caused by ingesting nutrient empty, processed, synthetic, artificial and/or dead foods, because your body is desiring nutrition in order to function properly.

Living food (also known as raw food) is whole food that hasn’t been heated or processed higher than 105 to 118 degrees. The high heat temperature destroys the life-force of the food. Live enzymes that regenerate our cells and feed our body are bountiful in living (raw) foods.

As we age, we lose the ability to produce sufficient digestive enzymes.

Eating certain foods (such as creature foods, cooked, irradiated, microwaved, pasteurized, and processed foods), improperly chewing food, and even chewing gum make our body utilize more of our digestive enzymes than necessary. These actions deplete the amount of our enzymes for use in digestion. Without digestive enzymes, there would be an absence of raw materials to keep our cells operational. When we are completely depleted of living enzymes we die.

If the food we eat isn’t broken down properly, our body won’t completely absorb it. We absorb most of our nutrients in the intestinal tract through the intestinal wall. A clean intestinal wall will help the nutrients be absorbed. The integrity of the intestines is essential to our health and well-being.

Toxins and acid accumulate in our body over time through various actions like breathing polluted air, eating processed or fast foods, being exposed to carcinogens in various cleaning solutions, and more. Over time, they can build up in the body and create inflammation, as well as health and weight problems.

A detox cleanse helps flush out toxins deep in the body’s cells and clean out the intestinal tract.

Anyone over the age of 40 should consider taking a high-quality digestive enzyme supplement approximately five minutes before each meal. This will supplement the body’s enzymes and aid the body’s ability to break down the food being consumed.

Chewing our food is a function that serves to jump-start the digestive process while in the mouth and bring pleasure to consuming food.

It is vitally important to always chew your food slowly, because the better the food is chewed, the easier it will be for the body to digest it. Ideally food should be liquefied by the time it is swallowed. The more we chew our food, the slower we eat.

It takes the brain about 10 to15 minutes to become aware of the stomach being full. We tend to eat less, and digest our food more efficiently, by eating slower.

In the American culture, we are encouraged to drink liquids with our meals. Unfortunately, drinking liquids with our meals dilutes the body’s digestive enzymes and makes it harder for the body to digest the food.

Eat ample amounts of fresh, uncooked, organic fruits and vegetables. These whole foods provide nutrient-dense live enzymes that feed our body, and they contribute additional live enzymes to support our digestion. For example, eating a whole, fresh, organic apple will provide about 40% additional live enzymes that will help with the digestion, whereas a cooked, processed, or in other words, dead food, won’t contribute any live enzymes.

Our health depends on eating the highest quality foods that are more alkalizing and grown fresh locally. Processed foods and meats are very acidic.

Disease thrives in an acidic environment. Our bodies need to maintain a certain pH balance in order to survive. If we eat too many acidic foods (like creature, processed, synthetic foods or supplements), our bodies will naturally attempt to adjust the pH

balance. To adjust the pH balance and to become more alkaline, the body will pull calcium from the bones to neutralize or buffer the acid. Eating a diet high in fresh, whole fruits and vegetables will contribute to a more alkaline-rich diet, which can help with the maintenance of the pH in the body.

I’ve started eating enzyme-rich foods from the Chemical Free Body company. These foods are free of chemicals, additives, fillers, and anything other than the certified organic, gluten-free, GMO-free, soy-free, dairy-free plant-based foods themselves.

They have a “Detox, Restore, and Energy Bundle” (which contains an enzyme & probiotic rich green food powder that I love) on sale right now.

(Tim James the founder of Chemical Free Body, has been on my radio show a couple of times explaining his journey to health through healthy foods and lifestyle changes).

I also love the live, enzyme-rich organic vegetable (broccoli & radish) microgreens powder from The Indoor Organic Gardens of Poughkeepsie. (Remember to put “Nancy” in the Discount Code box to get a nice Discount). (This powder is great for pets also).

As we enter into the upcoming festive season, be sure to add some healthy, raw, organic, enzyme-rich foods to your diet for a healthier winter holiday.

Dental health is extremely critical. Every day, the average person exposes themselves to more than 100 chemicals from soaps, cosmetics, and other personal care products, like toothpaste or mouthwash. Many of these ingredients (chemicals) have been clinically researched and shown to cause serious health problems, including cancers.In fact over 80,000+ chemicals used in body care products have never been properly tested for safety by federal regulatory agencies.

 

According to Dr. Thomas Levy – lawyer and cardiologist, many chronic health conditions are a result of poor dental health and toxic teeth.


So, here is some basic information to get you started in the right direction:

 

Toothpaste
If you read the boxes of some name-brand toothpastes and mouthwashes, you may see a warning to immediately call poison control if you swallow them. The warnings are usually only on the box and not on the tube or bottle itself.

We shouldn’t be putting any kind of poison in our mouths at all, because the mouth is highly absorbent.

I buy brands that are free of poison and not harmful to my body.

A new toothpaste that I just learned about is much better than any of the others. It is called “Primal Life Organics,” and it was developed by a nurse who has really figured out a lot about dental health.She truly understands teeth, toxicity, how the tooth enamel works, and how it affects the gums, etc. 

One of the ingredients in the toothpaste that she has created is clay. Clay is the perfect ingredient to put in the mouth for cleaning teeth, because it has the minerals the teeth needs, and it also pulls toxins out. It cuts down on plaque, helps reduce bad bacteria in the mouth, and helps regrow the good bacteria that support the immune system.

Toxins are positively charged ions, (an ion is a charged atom), which are also called free-radicals. Clays are excellent at binding toxins, because they are negatively charged ions and they attract and bind well with these positively charged toxins. Then the clay (binding the toxins) can be effectively eliminated though the digestive process.

What most people don’t realize is that the oral biome (oral immune system) is the first place toxins can enter the body. If the oral biome (immune system) is not strong enough, then those toxins can enter into the gut and that immune system’s biome is quite different. Some toxins will thrive in that gut environment, like H. Pylori or E. Coli. The stomach or intestinal bacteria are not able to kill particular toxins, like those bacteria that should ideally be eliminated by the good bacteria in the mouth. Most mouthwashes or toothpastes actually destroy those beneficial bacteria that would make up the oral biome (immune system) in the mouth.

If you look on some of the toothpaste or mouthwash packages, they will say, “kills bacteria.” But you don’t want to kill all your bacteria. The good bacteria is your immune system. The good bacteria prevent the overgrowth of bad bacteria and prevent an acidic environment. This lack of beneficial bacteria and an acidic environment is what destroys the gums, which support the teeth. Clay alkalizes the mouth’s environment, helps rebuild the good bacteria, and remineralizes the teeth.

The clay can also help bind with the toxins, like heavy metals or glyphosate (an antibiotic herbicide) that we get from water and conventionally grown foods, etc. The clay can help detoxify the tissues as you are brushing your teeth.

This clay can help you rebuild the beneficial bacteria that can kill J. pylori, E. Coli, or Streptococcus mutans, which are the leading bacteria that cause cavities and gingivitis. Your teeth are like bone. They are porous and a living part of your body.

People with digestive problems may actually find that their health improves if they boost their oral biome (good bacteria in their mouth), and remineralize their teeth and gums, while also removing toxins. The digestive process actually starts in the mouth.

Some ingredients to avoid –

1. Fluoride

Many people are still under the illusion that fluoride is good for teeth, but fluoride is a neurotoxin and is an accumulative poison.

Fluoride is particularly harmful to young males having growth spurts, which manifests itself as osteosarcoma (rare bone cancer) in their late teens or early 20’s.Dr. Elise Bassin found a strong, statistically-significant relationship between “fluoride exposure during the 6th through 8th years of life (the “mid-childhood growth spurt”) and the later development of osteosarcoma among young males.”

There have been NO long-term studies that found that fluoride in the water was beneficial. In fact, studies show that fluoride causes many other detrimental health problems.

Some of the earliest opponents to fluoridation were biochemists.
Dr. James Sumner, a Nobel Laureate biochemist at Cornell University says:

“Everybody knows fluorine and fluorides are very poisonous substances…We use them in enzyme chemistry to poison enzymes, those vital agents in the body. That is the reason things are poisoned; because the enzymes are poisoned and that is why animals and people die.”

We need to have pure water to drink, but fluoride is not added to the water to purify the water. It is added with the idea that it helps prevent tooth decay, but the studies done on tooth decay were done with calcium fluoride. The fluoride added to our drinking water is different. They add sodium fluoride and fluorosilicic acid, that can be contaminated with lead and arsenic, and are actually toxic waste from aluminum and fertilizer factories. So, this is NOT going to help prevent dental decay.

“Fluoride is a toxic industrial waste classified as a schedule seven – S7 poison. It is a banned biocide in Europe, utilized in many prescription drugs as well as being the main ingredient in rat and cockroach poison. Fluoride accumulates in bone and soft tissue. The pineal is a light receptive endocrine gland responsible for the production of serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) is a monoamine neurotransmitter or mood enhancer) and its derivative melatonin (which is essential for sleep and regulation of circadian rhythms). The National Research Council stated, “Fluoride is likely to cause decreased melatonin production and to have other effects on normal pineal function, which in turn could contribute to a variety of effects in humans” (NRC, 2006, p. 256).”

Many cities spend a great deal of money (as much as $1,000,000.00 or more) on purchasing the toxic waste from the fertilizer plants to put into the water supply. It is legally labeled “toxic waste” until the city purchases it, and then it is legally called “a product,” simply because it has been “purchased.”

Summary on fluoride: This is a product that has been proven: to NOT be the correct type of fluoride, to NOT work in an ingested form, to be an unapproved drug that cannot be regulated in dosage, to cause osteosarcoma in males, well known alterations in teeth and bone structure and calcification of tendons and ligaments. ‘Moderate’ doses cause spinal deformities and increased hip fracture tendency and kidney and gall stones. Higher levels cause death and are responsible for its major industrial use as a rodenticide. Solubility calculations indicate that fluoride doses required to decrease calcium below physiological blood levels are comparable to those present in poisoned victims’ tissues and to those causing decreased beat rates in isolated heart cells in culture. Acute lethal poisoning and many of the chronic ‘low’ level effects of fluoride are mediated by calcium binding by the fluoride ion.

2. Glycerin

Glycerin is another ingredient commonly found in toothpastes. It coats the mineral-deficient teeth with a layer that prevents the teeth from being able to remineralize. As an example, when you cover something with plastic wrap, nothing gets through it. Glycerin acts in the same way. The teeth need these minerals. The clay can remove the glycerin from the tooth and allow the tooth to remineralize.

The Dirty Mouth products are Certified Organic and are free of fluoride and glycerin. You can purchase the dental care products from Primal Life Organic. It is now my toothpaste of choice. I think it is a brilliant combination of ingredients.

It is used a little differently. You scoop it from the jar with your toothbrush or a small utensil. Then you brush for two minutes and swish it around in your mouth. Spit. Rinse if desired. For best results, brush twice a day. The clays and essential oils resist bacterial growth.

The ingredients in these tooth brushing clay powders are:

Black Spearmint flavor: Colloidal Silver, Bentonite, Kaolin, Sodium Bicarbonate, Activated Charcoal, Montmorillonite, Mentha Spicata (Spearmint) Oil

Peppermint flavor: Colloidal Silver, Bentonite, Kaolin, Sodium Bicarbonate, Montmorillonite, Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Oil

Bubblegum flavor: Colloidal Silver, Bentonite, Kaolin, Sodium Bicarbonate, Montmorillonite, Luo Han Guo (Monk Fruit), Citrus Paradisi (Grapefruit) Oil*, Eucalyptus Radiata (Eucalyptus) Oil*, Cananga Odorata (Ylang Ylang) Oil

Is colloidal silver good for teeth?

Colloidal Silver and Gum Disease. A study published in 2018 showed that silver is a powerful anti-bacterial and can be used as a rinse to help reduce bacteria in the mouth that contribute to gum disease.

Other ingredients in the Primal Life Organics toothpaste, and why they are in it:

Bentonite Clay is nontoxic and rich in vital minerals that are very beneficial for our teeth and gums – like calcium and potassium. It is a cleansing clay that gently scrubs and beautifully polishes the teeth. It works as an astringent by helping to remove tartar and clean the gums.

White Kaolin Clay is high in calcium, silica, zinc, and magnesium. It helps to whiten and polish the teeth.

Baking soda (aluminum free) is alkaline with a pH of 8.1 and will neutralize the acids in the mouth. Baking soda gently cleanses and polishes the teeth, removes odors, and can help freshen the breath.

French Green Clay (also known as Illite Clay or Sea Clay) is very absorbent and helps cleanse the tissues from things like oils, toxins, and impurities found on the surface. Mined from bedrock quarries in France, it is sun-dried, completely natural, unscented, and fragrance-free. French Green Clay is a bio-mineral and contains decomposed plant matter as well as many trace minerals, including silica, magnesium, calcium, iron, phosphorus, sodium, potassium, copper, zinc, selenium, cobalt, manganese, phosphorous, silicon, micro-algae, kelp, and phytonutrients.

Organic Essential Oils are used to freshen the mouth and make you forget that you are brushing your teeth with Dirt.

In addition to using a healthy toothpaste, I advise you not to share your toothpaste. It can spread germs when someone else’s toothbrush touches the opening on the container.

Get a new toothbrush after any illness, or at least every two months. This will prevent the toothbrush from becoming too built up with germs.

Floss

Floss at least once a day to keep gums healthy and to remove bacteria from between teeth.

Tongue Scraper

Use a tongue scraper to keep the tongue clean and fresh.

Tongue scrapers are available from Primal Life Organic. They have really nice dental packages. They are fairly inexpensive. I think they are something everyone should use.

To use it, you put the tongue scraper at the back of your tongue and gently bring it forward along your tongue, and then repeat. If you have a tongue that is coated with debris, bacteria and dead cells, then a tongue scraping may be helpful. It makes your mouth feel so much cleaner and fresher.

Whiten Teeth

“Primal Life Organics” also has a tooth whitener that I think is the best one for oral health, if you want whiter teeth.

If you really want to have the cleanest mouth and whitened teeth, then try my “oil pulling” detoxification technique first thing in the morning before you brush your teeth with the clays.

Oil pulling is an Ayurvedic Remedy used to enhance oral health and well-being. Oil pulling detoxifies the body, removes unsightly stains on teeth, and prevents illness and disease. (It’s described in detail in Chapter 11, in my book “Diabetes And Your Diet.”)

Mouthwash

Be careful what mouthwash you use. Like I said before, you don’t want to kill the beneficial bacteria in your mouth, so be careful and avoid a mouthwash that “kills bacteria.” It may not be selective and may kill the beneficial oral biome bacteria that keeps the harmful bacteria in control.

I use a mouthwash that has colloidal silver and food grade, therapeutic essential oils in it, that are not going to destroy my immune system. It is made by Young Living Oils, and it is named “Thieves Mouthwash.”

Alcohol is used in many mouthwashes. Mouthwashes with a content of 25 percent or higher have been implicated in mouth, tongue, and throat cancers.

Another ingredient to watch out for in mouthwash is potassium bromate. It is used in sports drinks, citrus-flavored drinks, breads, crackers, baked goods, and mouthwashes.

Why should we look out for potassium bromate?

Our thyroid is our master gland. It is central to all of our body’s major functions. It influences our metabolism, digestion, energy, body temperature, skin, hair, sleep, mental acuity, nervous system, sexual organs, and hormonal system. In fact, it would be very difficult to find a system that is not influenced by the thyroid. The main nutrient that supports our thyroid is iodine.

What does this mean if we ingest potassium bromate? We have a certain amount of space for the iodine in our thyroid. When we ingest potassium bromate, it acts like iodine. It will take up the space for iodine and actually prevent your body from absorbing the iodine it needs. This contributes to iodine deficiency and cancer.

Brazil, China, Canada, the United Kingdom, and the European Union have all prohibited the use of this chemical compound.

Check the ingredient lists carefully and if it’s added under a certain percentage, the FDA doesn’t require them to list it on the label. This is something to be aware of in many products. If concerned, you may want to call the company and ask.

Mercury

Mercury poisoning is a silent epidemic in the world today.Mercury is a neurotoxin and it’s found in amalgam fillings, vaccines, sea food, personal care products, light bulbs, batteries, electronics, and water, etc.Studies show that mercury, even in small amounts, can damage the central nervous system causing irritability, fatigue, mood swings, behavioral problems, tremors, headaches, hearing loss, dysarthria, incoordination, hallucinations, loss of peripheral vision, “pins and needles” feelings, usually in the hands, feet, and around the mouth, lack of coordination of movements, ringing in your ears, insomnia, and even death.”

Get those mercury-containing amalgam fillings removed safely and quickly. The IAOMT is a Scientific, Biological Dental Organization. It is a great resource to use in finding a safe way to remove toxic mercury-containing fillings. IAOMT has a SMART protocol, which stands for Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique. The IAOMT has a number of resources for both dentists and patients that you might find of interest.

I send you my best wishes for perfect dental health!

The post Texas Vegetarian Chili Recipe – Plant-based & Gluten-free appeared first on Organic Healthy Life - Nancy Addison - Nutrition.

]]> This is an easy, high protein, savory dish.
I made this as a Celebrity Chef at the State Fair Of Texas one year.
Everyone loved it!

You can serve this chili with a sprouted brown rice or even put it into organic
taco shells with some lettuce for healthy plant-based tacos.

Why would you want to sprout your beans or rice?  The reason is that, by soaking them and sprouting them, you are removing phytic acid and making the beans more digestible.
To sprout beans (or rice, quinoa, peas, lentils, nuts, or anything else with enzyme inhibitors and phytic acid) soak the beans 12–16 hours or more, in purified water.  Then pour off the water, and then cook the beans as you normally would.

I recommend buying organic, non-GMO if possible.

Makes 4 servings.

Ingredients:

3 ½ cups sprouted and cooked kidney beans

2 T. organic, pure coconut oil

1 fresh jalapeno, cored, seeded, minced (the seeds are very hot, so only add them if you wish your chili to be very hot!)

2 red onions, chopped

2 large cloves of garlic, minced

2 tsp. red wine vinegar (organic rice vinegar or coconut vinegar are also good types)

1 ¼ cups vegetable broth

1 ¼ cup crushed, tomatoes (chopped)

2 T. Chili powder

1/8 tsp. chipotle chili powder (optional, if you like it hot)

½ tsp. unrefined, mineral-rich salt

¼ tsp. freshly ground black pepper

¼ tsp. Ceylon Cinnamon

5 T. fresh cilantro, chopped

 

Directions:

1. Heat the coconut oil in a large pot, big enough to hold about 5 or 6 cups easily.

2. Sauté over medium heat: the chopped onion, jalapeño, and vinegar. Stir about 5 minutes until the onion gets soft.

3. Add the garlic (minced) and sauté another minute.

4. Stir in the broth, tomatoes, chili powders, salt, pepper and bring to a full boil and cook for 3 minutes.

5. Stir in the cooked, sprouted beans and bring to a full boil again. Then reduce the heat to medium and simmer about 5 minutes.

6. Remove from heat and stir in half the cilantro, and save the remaining cilantro to use as a garnish.

7. Serve warm in bowls, with some grated cheese (you can use plant-based cheese) and a sprinkle of cilantro top.

Variations:

1. Serve with whole, sprouted, cooked and warm rice.

2. Add sliced mushrooms to the mixture. Add the sliced mushrooms with the beans for more nutrition.

In addition to Peggy’s information, Dr. Russell Blaylock, says Face Masks Pose Serious Risks To The Healthy 

Click this link to read his information: “17 of the best studies were analyzed, concluded that, “ None of the studies established a conclusive relationship between mask/respirator use and protection against influenza infection.”1   Keep in mind, no studies have been done to demonstrate that either a cloth mask or the N95 mask has any effect on transmission of the COVID-19 virus. Any recommendations, therefore, have to be based on studies of influenza virus transmission. And, as you have seen, there is no conclusive evidence of their efficiency in controlling flu virus transmission.”

The post Natural Remedies For Healing Things That Can Bug You This Summer appeared first on Organic Healthy Life - Nancy Addison - Nutrition.

]]> Warm summer days and nights can sometimes be a struggle if you are hurting from too much sun, poison ivy, poison oak, mosquito, fire ants, bug bites, or jellyfish stings.

So, here are a few emergency remedies that may help you have a smooth sailing summer of fun!

What’s bugging you?

While summer is the optimal time for showing off toned skin and flaunting revealing fashions, it’s the absolute worst for bug bites, sunburns, and itchy rashes.

Whether it is a mosquito or beach fleas, some of these bites can be downright painful. They can also itch so much you almost want to scratch the skin off, which can create scars and wounds.

Stop skin blunders from ruining the way you feel or look with any of the following natural skin relief treatments.

Mosquitoes don’t normally sting through loose-fitting clothing, so this is a good preventative measure. Mosquitoes are attracted to dark colors, while wasps and bees are attracted to light, bright, floral colors.

Non-Toxic, Anti Bug Bite Recipe

A bug bite deterrent that is easy to make yourself is made of a blend of one or more of the following ingredients.

Choose one or two of these organic essential oils (2 tsp. total oil):

Lavender essential oil

Myrrh essential oil

Rosemary essential oil

Lemon essential oil

1 cup of 180 proof grain alcohol (you can buy this at a liquor store.) You could also use pure water, if you don’t have alcohol.

Directions:

Combine a total of 2 tsp. of essential oil and combine that with 1 cup of 180 proof grain alcohol.

Place it in a bottle with a tight-fitting lid.

(You can also put it in a spray bottle to easily spray on before going outdoors.)

Shake well.

Test it on a small patch of skin first to make sure you are not sensitive to the oil and alcohol.

If you are ok with the test, use it on your skin to avoid bites.

If you are already bitten and you are itching and wanting to scratch the pain away, here are a few remedies.

  1. Rub aloe vera (either freshly cut or from a bottle) on bites and stings to ease burning.
  2. Get relief from itches by applying a few drops of lavender oil to the affected area as needed.

Once, I was bitten by some kind of small black bug or flea in Panama. It was absolutely miserable for at least a week. I thought it was never going to stop. I read that sometimes these bugs lay eggs in your skin. I also read that it could have been parasites.

Since I had been all over the jungle and visited wild animal rehabilitation places, I was not sure where I received all the bites, or if they were even all the same type of bug or flea bite. It seemed to get worse a few days later and it wasn’t stopping. I was overwhelmed with the itch and was getting quite desperate to find a natural remedy.

For the most extreme cases, where you can’t get the itching to stop, I have found that food grade hydrogen peroxide can be dabbed on the itching spots with a cotton swab or a cotton ball. This solution will kill any parasite that may be inside the skin, but also oxygenate and destroy any infection in the bite.

It can hurt and burn a lot, so I would apply the hydrogen peroxide immediately before getting into the shower to scrub with tea tree oil soap and a body brush. It was very effective and stopped the extreme itching. (I used a 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide, which is extremely strong compared to the 3% grade sold at the pharmacy).

You may need to do this each day, until you are sure it has stopped the itch, killed the parasite, or stopped the infection. With much relief, you can be on the road to healing.

I order food grade hydrogen peroxide through the internet. It is extremely strong. You will need to be very careful when handling this and keep it out of the reach of children. You may want to use normal over the counter (3% grade) hydrogen peroxide, but the food grade is much stronger (35%) for more extreme cases. You can water it down a bit, if it’s too strong for you.

Two brands I have purchased are: Oxygen Wellness Co. and Pure Health Discounts.

If the backbone is out of alignment, it can cause itching. If the atlas bone at the top of the spine is out of alignment, that can cause extreme itching in the upper arms. (Just on a side note, if the atlas bone is out of alignment, that can also be misdiagnosed as a stroke in elderly people and MS in younger people.)

I personally go regularly to my chiropractor to maintain my alignment. My chiropractor, Dr. Michael Hall, is also a neurologist, and he has treated me on a regular basis for over 15 years. Chiropractors all have different techniques, so find one that is best for you.

Poison Ivy or Poison Oak

Once I went with my husband to hike in the woods with our dog. Our dog was running around in the woods and got poison ivy on his fur. I was petting him and brushing off the sticker burrs, and unknowingly got the poison ivy from his fur. I used tea tree oil on the poison ivy and it was almost gone the next day. I used tea tree oil shampoo on the dog also.

A few years later, one of our house remodeling contractors had a terrible case of poison ivy. He had used cortisone, medicines from the doctor, and everything he could think of for more than four months. He was absolutely miserable. I gave him my tea tree oil to try.

The next day, he came back absolutely astounded at how well it had worked. His poison ivy was gone in a matter of days. Tea tree oil also works extremely well for poison oak and fire ant bites as well.

I use the tea tree oil on any itchy place, bite, or rash. It is especially good for bites that have a fluid in them. Tea tree oil has antibacterial properties. It is not supposed to be used on an open wound.

I used it on a large swollen bite my son had on his back. It was the middle of the night and we were staying in a remote hotel built into the side of a mountain in Greece, with no medical care nearby. I didn’t know what to do, so I kept putting tea tree oil on it. The next day, the swelling had gone down to half, then the next day it was almost gone. We were so thankful.

Another use for tea tree oil is for chickenpox. My son got chickenpox when he was four. He is a redhead and has very sensitive skin. I put tea tree oil directly on each spot all over his body. I thought it would help him not to itch or scratch. In the morning, his chickenpox outbreak was gone, with no scars, no itching, and no complications. It was amazing. His doctor was completely astonished, as was his preschool teacher. I have used it on just about everything ever since.

In my opinion, the New Zealand variety of tea tree oil smells better than the Australian type, but both work really well.

You can also use aloe vera leaf gel on the rash to soothe and promote healing.

Oatmeal baths are also good for calming us down, as well as calming the skin irritation.

If you go to the beach, a jellyfish sting can really hurt. If you have some lemon or limes, rub the cut fruit on the place that hurts. The citrus can help take the pain out.

Drinking carrot juice or eating carrots or sweet potatoes is a natural way to protect yourself from too much sun during summer. The beta-carotene in these vegetables gives the body some natural sun protection.

You can also wear thick clothing that covers your skin but doesn’t contain chemicals. Clothing treated with chemicals such as titanium or zinc oxide will break down in the wash, enter the water supply, and create hazards to the ecosystem.

So, whenever you are outside, get some natural Vitamin D, put on some natural bug protection, wear natural clothing to protect yourself from too much sun, eat beta-carotene-rich foods, and get into the shade if you feel you have been out too long. Enjoy your sunshine and fresh air!

I hope this helps make your summer adventures more enjoyable!

The post Gardening – Growing Your Own Organic Food appeared first on Organic Healthy Life - Nancy Addison - Nutrition.

]]> We’ve all been trying to eat more healthy, organic, non-GMO foods so that our health will be at its best and our immune system will be strong. Also, with these unknown times of virus pandemics, we would like to be more in control of when and how we are able to get the best quality food we possibly can.

Fresh organically grown food provides more nutrients and more importantly, it does not contain toxic pesticides and herbicides that are used for growing and drying crops that you simply cannot wash off.

I started growing my own food as a child with my family, and I’ve continued it all my life. I really encourage everyone to do this, because it not only allows you to be in control of the quality of your food, but it makes it easier and less expensive to obtain healthy fresh food that has ripened naturally on the vine or tree.  It also decreases the amount of pesticides you and your family consume, and using less pesticides helps protect the environment in which we all live.

Food picked fresh in its vine-ripened state also has solvestrols in it. Solvestrols have natural cancer and disease-fighting components in them that are not present in foods picked green before they are ripe.

It is not that hard to start growing your own food at home, whether it’s sprouts in a small container in the kitchen, or leafy greens in a pot on the balcony or porch, or vegetables in a larger garden out in your yard.

I suggest starting by deciding what you wish to grow. What do you like to eat? With this lock-in, it is a good time to start something, even with just a single plant or two. Don’t worry if things aren’t exactly right. It can be fun and you will learn along the way.

Organic gardening means you don’t use synthetic fertilizers or pesticides. There are many safe and less toxic ways to prevent bugs, slugs, and snails, or to handle weeds.  I will list some resources at the end of this article.

Organically grown fruits, vegetables and mushrooms deliver much higher amounts of the essential vitamins, micronutrients, and probiotics than those grown in toxic herbicide-doused soils. You want to start with rich organic soil, compost, high-quality water, and a good amount of sunshine.

You might consider testing your soil for heavy metals or an imbalance, but that isn’t essential. You can buy soil test kits through some gardening supply stores, which I will list below.

You can begin with the simplest garden (and the closest thing to instant gratification), by starting a window box containing a basic organic soil mix. You can find window boxes at most garden centers or order on-line.

I prefer small, reputable garden centers that are dedicated to carrying only approved organic soil amendments, as well as organic disease and pest management materials.

Place your window box, pots of soil, or garden in a sunny location. Next plant your seeds as directed on the seed package. I have found that herbs and salad greens are quick and easy to grow and full of flavor and vitality.

You can purchase seeds in bulk or in small packets. Simply make sure they are “Organic” and “Non-GMO.” I like to buy a couple of different varieties of my favorite vegetables or fruits.

I like to do this because frequently one will thrive more than the other, and it’s good to know which type can flourish in my soil and location. I also like to experiment with different flavors of the plants. This always makes it fun and you can make this a game with your children.

The quickest plants to reach harvestability belong to the cruciferous vegetable family or radish family. Radish varieties are vast. Be sure to find a good source for bulk, non¬treated, non¬GMO seeds. These are some of my favorite sprouts to grow for sprinkling on sandwiches, salads, etc.

Microgreens are a good choice of plants to grow, because they have 40% more nutrients in them than the full grown plant, so they are an easy way to get an amazing amount of intense nutrition in the diet.

Mints, oregano, and malibar spinach are good crops to grow in a container, because if you plant any of them in a garden, they can be very hard to manage and they can take over.

My children and I loved to grow our favorite herbs in little pots in the kitchen window, as they were so easy to cut and use in our recipes. One of the first things my son did when he got his apartment at law school, was to purchase some small pots of his favorite herbs for his kitchen window.

Fresh herbs and plants in a recipe can really make the flavor of a recipe pop. Using fresh herbs, leafy greens, sprouts, vegetables, mushrooms and fruits is one of the best ways to enhance the flavor of a dish.

I believe in getting children involved. They love gardening. The statistics show that children who garden have higher science and math scores. I have also found that they are much more likely to try eating the foods they have grown personally, than ones bought at a store.

I also recommend growing a few plants that attract pollinators and butterflies, like marigolds, zinnias and crocuses. You can grow herbs like lavender, sage, parsley and dill. Butterflies love dill for butterfly caterpillars to eat as food. I have some of the most beautiful Monarch butterfly caterpillars in my garden when I plant dill amongst my flowers. I love to watch them, so I always plant extra.

I have to warn and show the caterpillars and butterfly cocoons to my gardening helpers, so they do not kill them by thinking they are pests. You may want to put out a little sign, saying butterfly garden, please protect the caterpillars and cocoons.

The pollinators are struggling. They add such beauty to our environment, as well as helping to pollinate our food. I enjoy my garden so much more when I plant these flowers and butterfly-friendly foods in my garden. They make it more fun and interesting. I also feel like I am helping the environment and helping with their survival by doing this.

I made a short video on organic gardening. Click here to see the video.

Here are a list of my favorite gardening supply websites.

  1. Organic Pest and Gardening Supply, Austin Arbico Organics
  2. Sustainable Seeds has organic & non-GMO seeds
  3. My Patriot Supply has organic seeds
  4. Gardener’s Supply is another great resource for a variety of things for gardening.
  5. If you don’t want to grow everything yourself, and you would like to order some freshly grown sprouts or microgreens, I buy mine from the Indoor Organic Gardens Of Poughkeepsie.

They can even overnight them to you, so they are incredibly fresh.

The broccoli powder doesn’t have much taste, so you can add this powder to all your foods before serving.  Don’t destroy the live broccoli sprout enzymes by getting them too hot, so add the broccoli powder after you have prepared the food, but before serving.

You will get that raw, organic broccoli sprout powder nutrition.

Here is their website link: www.iogopk.com If you put “Nancy” in the discount code box, you will get a discount on your order.

Being able to grow your own food can be empowering and in these times, it can provide a multitude of benefits you may not even imagine. Growing your own organic food can be an extremely enriching experience, as well as good for your health.

Love to you all, Nancy

]]> I love this salad because it always reminds me of childhood days at my grandmother’s home. I double the recipe so I can have it handy for easy snacks or as a part of my meals throughout the week. I leave the carrots unpeeled to preserve all of their nutrients.

The bright orange color of the carrots is the beta-carotene, an antioxidant, that gets converted into Vitamin A when we ingest it. Carrots are packed with vital nutrients and health benefits.

Raisins are a good source of carbohydrates for energy. Raisins are also rich in B vitamins, iron, and potassium. This might seem surprising, but compounds found in raisins fight bacteria in the mouth that cause cavities and gum disease.

Ingredients:
1 bag carrots, unpeeled, grated
1–2 c. raisins
¼ c. mayonnaise (Primal Kitchen is one brand I recommend)

Directions: 



Mix all ingredients together and enjoy!

Variations:

1. Substitute ¼ cup orange juice mixed with 2 tablespoons raw, organic, extra virgin, pure coconut oil for the mayonnaise.
2. Add chopped walnuts or pecans to the salad.
3. Substitute chopped dates for the raisins.

I hope you love this recipe!

“Some physicians would rather stand by and see their patient die

than use ascorbic acid,

because in their finite minds it exists only as a vitamin.

Vitamin C is the safest substance available to the physician.”

– Dr. Frederick Klenner
Although all nutrients and minerals are important for optimum health, there are a few nutrients that are critical for good health and a strong immune system.

The coronavirus, as well as other harmful bacteria or viruses, like the flu, are most deadly for people whose immune system is weak. Nutrient-dense foods and supplements can be a way to strengthen and build a stronger immune system that can support overall health and well-being.

Vitamin C is one of those essential nutrients that is at the top of the list for helping to prevent and/or treat numerous health conditions. It is considered essential because our body does not make it and we must obtain it from a food source. It is also a water-soluble nutrient that should be in the diet on a daily basis.

When it comes to infections or a virus such as the flu, it is accepted that vitamin C is part of the immune response and quickly becomes depleted. It helps by encouraging the production of white blood cells that fight disease, by attaching themselves to and killing all of the invading microbes.

Vitamin C acts as an antioxidant, which is a nutrient that chemically binds and neutralizes the tissue-damaging effects of substances known as free radicals. Vitamin C it is critical to the growth and health of bones, teeth, gums, ligaments, and blood vessels. Vitamin C enables the body to efficiently use carbohydrates, fats, and protein.

Quite a few in-depth studies have shown the efficiency of Vitamin C to prevent and treat many diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, polio, dementia, age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and cataracts, viruses, comas, scurvy, and the common cold.

Vitamin C supplements can also reduce the blood levels of lead, mercury, arsenic, and cadmium. These toxic elements have no physiological benefits and can cause great harm.

Vitamin C plays an important role in how our bodies handle physical and emotional stress. With everything that is going on worldwide with this Covid-19 pandemic, many people are feeling stress and anxiety, especially if they are watching mainstream news.

Vitamin C is needed by the adrenal glands to synthesize hormones, and the normally high levels of ascorbic acid in these glands are especially depleted during high-stress situations.

Unfortunately, many vitamin manufacturers that create Vitamin C don’t make Vitamin C in a way that the body can utilize properly. Many of the Vitamin C’s on the market have damaged this fragile vitamin by using techniques with heat, steam, or high pressure grinding. The manufacturers frequently add fillers, additives, and preservatives, which totally deplete the raw materials of all nutritional value. They are commonly synthetic or simply not the quality that the body can use. Synthetic or damaged Vitamin C supplements that are manufactured in this way have little or no effect on the body, because the body does not recognize them as
Vitamin C, but as a mixture of harmful toxins in need of elimination.

Scottish physician James Lind (1716 – 1794) was a pioneer of naval hygiene in the Royal Navy. Having observed the preventive and curative powers of citrus fruits and lemon juice during his years as a naval surgeon, he wrote a treatise recommending their mandatory consumption by British sailors for scurvy prevention and better health.

Then in the 1900s, the meticulous work of Hungarian-born researcher Albert Szent-Györgyi isolated and identified Vitamin C and documented the metabolic mechanism that enables its use within cells. He was recognized with a Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1937.

Vitamin C really came to the forefront of the public’s attention in the 1970s, when two-time Nobel Prize-winning scientist Linus Pauling published “Vitamin C and the Common Cold.” He had used five to ten grams of Vitamin C a day to help fortify the immune system.

As I have researched further, I have read work by Dr. Thomas E. Levy
(a cardiologist and lawyer), who has used Vitamin C in various forms in his practice. He believes in its incredible healing power so much that
he wrote a book on the subject that medical doctors now use as a guide for their practice. They also can use it in court, if they are questioned or accused of using unsubstantiated medical methods on their patients.

In “Curing the Incurable: Vitamin C, Infectious Diseases, and Toxins,”
3rd Edition by Thomas E. Levy MD JD, he states that the three most
vital factors required to get the most from Vitamin C are: “Dose, Dose, Dose!” He believes vitamin C to be the most powerful antibiotic. (Click here to hear his talk on youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0x8CxUKDrc)

According to Dr. Levy, the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for Vitamin C is 60 mg, which is fine for dietary purposes. But, to get the maximum benefit of this natural anti-microbial, anti-toxin, anti-oxidant we all need much more.

He has researched, cited, and documented work by “Dr. F. R. Klenner, Reidsville, N.C., which is where much of the documented research on Vitamin C emerged.

Dr. Frederick Klenner conducted studies for Viral Pneumonia and treated it with Vitamin C. He documented his treatment for Viral Pneumonia infection in 42 cases over a five-year period. The excellent results
were due to his remedy of Vitamin C IV’s (ascorbic acid) given in large amounts.

When a diagnosis of Viral Pneumonia was entertained, the patient was given 1000 mg. of Vitamin C intravenously every six to twelve hours.
If a diagnosis was established in the home, the usual initial dose was
500 mg. given in the gluteal muscle.

Dr. Klenner also treated polio-myelitis during the 1948 epidemic.
For seven years he treated these polio-myelitis virus infections
and cured them in a period of seventy-two hours, by the employment
of massive frequent injections of ascorbic acid, or vitamin C given I. V. They were given intravenously because the injection was thus made painless and the response was faster.

In infants and very small children however, 500 mg. injected into the gluteal muscle every six to twelve hours was the method of choice.

“In almost every case, the patient felt better within an hour after the first injection and noted a very definite change after two hours. Nausea was relieved by the first injection as was the headache.“

Vitamin C is found in various fresh, organic foods, including citrus fruits such as oranges, lemons, limes, and grapefruit; in green vegetables such as watercress, parsley, spinach, broccoli, and cabbage; and in tomatoes and potatoes.

Food processing may degrade or destroy Vitamin C, as can exposure
to air, drying, salting, cooking (especially in copper pots), or processing. (Freezing does not usually cause loss of Vitamin C unless foods are stored for a very long time.)

In modern times, access to fresh fruits and vegetables is common, rendering full-blown cases of vitamin C deficiency relatively rare. Cases are normally limited to isolated elderly adults, and usually men whose diet is limited to foods lacking in Vitamin C, as well as to infants fed reconstituted milk or milk substitutes without a Vitamin C or orange juice supplement. Those with certain illnesses, such as AIDS, cancer or tuberculosis, surgical patients, and those exposed to long periods of cold temperatures can also suffer from Vitamin C insufficiency.”

Dr. Klenner made Vitamin C IV’s his common practice for treating almost all, if not all of his patients. He would have his staff give his new patients a Vitamin C IV first thing, sometimes even before he examined them.

Dr. Levy has taken the study of Vitamin C supplementation further, and now believes we can use various forms of Vitamin C to saturate the cells and tissue, which is read by the body as glucose.

Dr. Levy says to avoid potassium ascorbate and calcium ascorbate.

On page 131 of Dr. Levy’s book “Primal Panacea,” he writes “My clinical experience with Altrient C liposome-encapsulated Vitamin C suggests that the clinical impact of liposome-encapsulated Vitamin C may even exceed the clinical impact of intravenous Vitamin C for some acute infections.”

Liposome C is currently the form of Vitamin C that Dr. Levy likes best because it can be absorbed well. He says that Liposome C in a dose of 5 gm is equivalent to 50 gm of Vitamin C in an IV solution. Dr. Levy advises to “take as many forms (meaning IV, Oral supplements, and fresh fruits and vegetables) of Vitamin C as possible”

He says that Oral Vitamin C can help neutralize toxins in the gut.
He goes on to say that Vitamin C will help get a lot of bowel problems resolved and give probiotics a chance to re-establish themselves in the gut, which is where the majority of our probiotics (which make up the immune system) reside.

According to Dr. Levy, acutely ill patients all have a different oxidative stress load, which is what he says causes most diseases. But the basic principle of pushing the Vitamin C level high and keeping it high, even if you don’t resolve the infectious disease or you don’t resolve the chronic disease with this first Vitamin C IV, it will still help the patient to feel better and put them on the road to better health.

There are numerous studies that prove that an incredible number of diseases are mediated by oxidative stress in the body. Antioxidants may play a pivotal role in preventing or slowing the progression of diseases.

Antioxidants have also been seen to reduce the development of asthmatic symptoms and oxidative stress. Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and Beta Carotene are all antioxidants. Supplementation of these has been associated with improved lung function.

In addition to taking Vitamin C, I have been taking a supplement for the past few years that has been proven to reduce oxidative stress in the body by 40% in 30 days. (I take it along with Protandim NRF 1 and NAD, which I think makes it provide even more health advantages.)

(My link for the supplement is: https://nancyaddison.lifevantage.com/us-en/)

These 3 supplemental technologies (Protandim Nrf2, Protandim Nrf1 and NAD) are all clinically shown to protect against viruses.

NAD stands for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. It is a molecule found in every cell in the body. NAD is used to power your metabolism by enabling the mitochondria, which provide the power of the cell, which in turn converts the food we eat into the energy our body needs to sustain all its functions.

NAD is a bacteria nutrient, B 3. NAD was researched by David Sinclair of Harvard, when he started studying resveratrol (an antioxidant in red grapes and red wine) and it’s anti-aging effects. His lab made headlines by reporting that the mitochondria in the muscles of elderly mice were restored to a youthful state after just a week of injections with NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide), a molecule that naturally occurs in cells and, like NR, boosts levels of NAD.

Studies show that NAD fuels the activity of sirtuins, including SIRT3. Sirtuins are a family of proteins that regulate cellular health.
Sirtuins play a key role in regulating cellular homeostasis.

Homeostasis involves keeping the cell in balance. What studies are showing is that the more NAD there is in cells, the more SIRT1 does beneficial things. One of those things is to induce formation of new mitochondria. When NAD activates SIRT3, this is thought to keep mitochondria running smoothly

In conclusion, eating one medium orange will provide almost double the daily amount of Vitamin C at 70 mg, and two medium tomatoes will hit the goal at 20 mg each.

Dr. Levy says that in tests, Vitamin C has worked against every virus, if given in a sufficient concentration.

Dr Mike Skinner, a virologist at Imperial College London, says we won’t know Vitamin C’s value against coronavirus for some time, and says the dose being tested is ‘massive’. ‘They’re doing the trials now.

The addition of Vitamin C, in its many forms, is incredibly beneficial for restoring health to the body.

Dr. Levy stated that adding some magnesium to the body is also very important, as the body is commonly low in magnesium as well. You can do this by taking a magnesium chloride flake bath or using topical cream.
In this way you can give your body some good tools to use in order to create better health.

The post Wheat, Carbohydrates, And Your Health appeared first on Organic Healthy Life - Nancy Addison - Nutrition.

]]> Carbohydrates have a reputation for being unhealthy. However, it is only the type of carbohydrate that is unhealthy. Carbohydrates are actually the body’s preferred fuel. Unrefined carbohydrates like whole, sprouted: legumes, lentils, seeds (examples: quinoa, sesame, pumpkin), grains (example: rice, teff), and vegetables (example: potato),  are dense in nutrients and fiber, and they can give your body the fuel it needs. In this article, I will expand on which varieties are best, which ones to avoid, and how to prepare the ones that are healthy.

What we usually think of, when we hear the word carbohydrate, is a white, refined, wheat-based type of food. Refined carbohydrates like white, refined flour, pasta, and bakery goods have no or little fiber and are nutrient-empty. There is a difference in the way refined carbohydrates and unrefined carbohydrates are converted into glucose by the body. Refined carbohydrates are converted to glucose quickly, which causes blood sugar to spike. This makes the body work hard to get the blood sugar level under control. It puts pressure on the pancreas to make and release insulin, which works “like a key to open the door of the cells so glucose… can come inside and be converted into energy.”

If too many refined carbohydrates are eaten on a continual basis, driving up blood sugar levels, this will stress the pancreas and eventually it will have trouble making insulin. This can result in diabetes.

The body will also turn the excess glucose into fat. This can result in weight gain and obesity. Carrying too much fat can lead to glucose intolerance. The body will start ignoring the signal to take glucose from the blood.

Many nutrient-empty, refined foods have fructose (including high fructose corn syrup or agave syrup) in them. Fructose doesn’t appropriately stimulate insulin production, which means the body fails to suppress its “hunger hormone” leptin. This hormone suppression is what makes us feel satisfied, so fructose is actually making us feel hungrier instead of satisfied.

Gluten is a protein found in wheat, rye, spelt, and barley. More and more people these days are being diagnosed with gluten intolerance or celiac disease. An estimated 20 million Americans have gluten sensitivities. Because of hybridization, many gluten-containing grains today have 50–80 percent more gluten in them than they did 100 years ago.

The word “gluten” comes from the Latin word for glue. If you’ve ever made papier-mâché using glue made from wheat flour and water, you can understand how this mixture can be very hard for your body to digest. Symptoms from consuming grains containing gluten range from digestive problems to dandruff, skin disorders, kidney problems, and depression. Many people feel better when they eat a gluten-free diet.

Wheat is a grain that might be best to avoid for more than a few reasons. Wheat has the unusual characteristic of being able to raise blood sugar extremely quickly. Also, according to Dr. Steven Greer and David Wilcock, in 1960, Archer Daniels purposely developed a variety of wheat, with a protein called gliadin, to have more addictive characteristics in it than cocaine or heronine. You can find this gliadin protein in wheat, rye, and barley. You may also find it in oats, even though oats are gluten free. He said they developed it to have unnatural molecules in it that trick the thyroid into thinking it is T1, T2, T3, and T4, but it is not. This creates chemical imbalances. What this will do is effectively shut down the thyroid, which is our master gland that controls many of our bodily functions. The person who ingested this wheat (grain) variety, will be unable to get enough energy, and this leads to depression. Dr. Greer and David Wilcock said this became public knowledge from four of the scientists who worked on this food, for the  company,  Archer Daniels, reported this to the Christian Broadcasting Network. Gliadin has also been found to create permeability of the intestines.These are some fhe reasons why so many people are having intestinal problems, thyroid problems, and are finding that they can’t eat wheat or wheat products. As we can see, it’s not just the gluten that is causing these health problems. (I personally think this is very sinister that this was done and the FDA allowed it.)

In addition that, many of our foods today in the western countries “contain narcotic properties associated with the presence of psychoactive chemicals that bind to opioid receptors in the nervous system. These peptides are so powerful that researchers block their action with drugs such as naltrexone which is used to treat addiction among heroin abusers, and naloxone which is used to prevent death from heroin overdose.

These “food opiates” are heavily concentrated in wheat products. Wheat contains the following opioid peptides, known as gluten exorphins, alongside which are listed their amino acid structure:

This wheat is going to do this to the body, whether it is refined or not. So, eating it as a whole grain won’t matter. My recommendation is: whatever grain, bread, or carbohydrate you buy, you want to make certain you always buy Organic and non-GMO foods both, and try to avoid purchasing breads or crackers containing wheat, especially ones that aren’t sprouted or whole.

Then, to process these nutrient-empty, refined foods, the body must pull nutrients from itself. The spiking of blood sugar from refined and empty food results in cravings, because when the body is not getting the nutrients it needs, it will start begging for them. On the other hand, feeding the body with nutrient-dense food gives it what it needs, and there shouldn’t be any cravings.

Because unrefined carbohydrates are fiber-rich, they take longer to digest. This means they do not put additional pressure on the pancreas to produce insulin in an unhealthy way. Unrefined carbohydrates, such as sweet potatoes, should be a major part of a well-balanced diet.

Packaging can be very deceiving and misleading. When looking at a package that says “whole wheat” or “whole grain,” read the ingredient list and make sure it says “whole” before every grain listed. If the ingredient list contains just the name of the grain, then it is not whole-grain.

You also want to make sure any of these products or foods are sprouted, so the phytic acid and enzyme inhibitors are removed. Many carbohydrates, as well as proteins, (nuts, seeds, grains, beans, and lentils) are very healthy for you and are full of nutrients. But many people don’t know they contain phytic acid. Phytic acid can prevent the body from absorbing important minerals such as calcium, magnesium, iron, and zinc, as well as cause acid indigestion.

Phytic acid has powerful anti-nutritional effects because it binds to minerals in your food to form phytates, which makes those minerals unavailable to your digestive system. It also inhibits enzymes in the body that are vitally important for digesting food properly. The high level of phytic acid in nuts, seeds, grains, beans, and lentils is a serious problem in the modern diet, resulting in many health problems including tooth decay, nutrient deficiencies, lack of appetite, and digestive problems.

The phytic acid in nuts, seeds, grains, beans, and lentils can be removed by soaking and sprouting them. Historically, indigenous cultures always did this before consuming them or feeding them to their animals. This is not done in modern day society, to the detriment of human and animal health. This is why my cookbooks Include the steps of preparation, which includes making these foods free of the phytic acid and enzyme inhibitors.

If you are buying gluten-free products, make sure they are sprouted and whole-grain, or sprouted beans, sprouted lentils, sprouted rice, sprouted, and check the sugar content. I have found that even in the seemingly healthiest packages at the “healthy grocery stores,” the gluten-free foods are alarmingly high in sugar. It is extremely important to find ones that are low in added sugar, preferably organic, non-GMO, whole-grain, and sprouted.

So, in conclusion, as we get into the holiday season and we are out dining/ partying at places where there may be a lot of carbohydrate choices, try picking the healthiest ones and avoiding the ones that can damage your health and well-being.

The post Detox For Optimum Health appeared first on Organic Healthy Life - Nancy Addison - Nutrition.

We need to cleanse because we acquire toxins in our bodies on a regular basis. We live in a world that is literally saturated with toxins. We can get toxins by breathing in polluted air, taking showers in chlorinated tap water, drinking tap water, eating foods when we don’t know their source or preparation method, pesticides, toxic cleaning fluids, dry-cleaning fluids, wearing new unwashed clothing, etc. Additionally, our bodies become acidic through stress and the foods we eat.

These toxins and acids hurt our bodies deep within our cells. How can the body have a clean liver, blood, or lymphatic system if it is filled with toxins, acid, and waste? A clean intestinal system and frequent, thorough bowel movements are key factors of a truly healthful system.

We absorb most of our nutrients through the intestinal wall. If it is clean, we are able to absorb the nutrients. If it is not clean but is instead full of waste and rancid debris, then the body won’t get the nutrients it needs.

Dr. Anthony Bassler, a gastroenterologist, said, “Every physician should realize the intestinal toxemias (poisons) are the most important primary and contributing cause of many disorders and diseases of the body.”30

We also need to cleanse because our intestines can become thick with plaque over time. This “mucoid plaque” can result from consuming foods like milk, wheat, and meat. It can be thick and rubbery. It can even look a little like a rope when it exits the body.

In the book Tissue Cleansing through Bowel Management, Dr. Bernard Jensen, DC, ND, PhD addresses this:

The heavy mucus coating in the colon thickens and becomes a host of putrefaction. The blood capillaries to the colon begin to pick up the toxins, poisons, and noxious debris as it seeps through the bowel wall. All tissues and organs of the body are now taking on toxic substances. Here is the beginning of true autointoxication on a physiological level.

One autopsy revealed a colon to be 9 inches in diameter with a passage through it no larger than a pencil. The rest was caked up layer upon layer of encrusted fecal material. This accumulation can have the consistency of truck tire rubber. It’s that hard and black. Another autopsy revealed a stagnant colon to weigh in at an incredible 40 pounds.

Dr. Richard Anderson, ND, NMD addresses the subject of plaque as well. Dr. Anderson, an expert on colon cleansing, wrote Cleanse and Purify Thyself, Volumes 1 & 2. In an article on colon plaque, he says:

The phrase, “mucoid plaque” is a coined term that I use to describe various conditions found throughout the body, especially in hollow organs and the alimentary canal. It is a substance that the body naturally creates under unnatural conditions, such as attacks from acids, drugs, heavy metals, and toxic chemicals.

Professional cleanses, like colonics or enemas, can remove this old leftover waste and plaque from the intestinal tract.

The good news is that there are really effective cleanses that can help you safely remove these toxins from your body. I recommend cleansing for a minimum of 10 days and as long as 21 days to detoxify the body and adjust its pH on a regular basis. This will keep the inner environment of the body’s digestive system cleaner, healthier, and able to support a vibrant immune system.

Along with this comes an additional benefit. A major part of the body’s happiness chemical, serotonin, is synthesized in the gastrointestinal tract. It is no wonder people feel happier and better when their bowels are clean and functioning in the optimum way! I do a month-long cleanse every January, to start off the New Year fresh and renewed after the holidays.

Each time you cleanse, it will get easier. Eventually, or maybe very quickly, you will see a difference in how you feel.

I do a healthy chlorophyll and fiber-rich cleanse every month, and I recommend it to my clients. You can do as little or as much as you find is best for you. I use products from Chemical Free Body.
I use the juice formula,”Green 85″ and the gut and toxin detox supplements. I also use the “Green 85″ drink mix as a super-food meal when I need something quick and nourishing. This is my version of a “fast-food meal.”

We should all try to keep our body, especially our liver, as clean and high in nutrients as possible for ultimate health and
well-being. This way we will absorb our nutrients more effectively.

I believe the items that are lacking in most people’s diet today
are healthy types of fiber, chlorophyll-rich green foods, enzymes, and probiotics. The drink mix “Green 85” by Chemical Free Body, has all of those. Quite simply, it is made up of healthy ingredients that most people lack in their normal everyday diet.

The nutrients will feed your body, as well as flush and pull toxins and acids out of your cells. The fiber will absorb these toxins and expand like a sponge. It is important to drink a lot of water, which will create a cleaning effect and help move it through your body. Along with the sponge-like fiber, the toxic particles, plaque, and other debris (that might be lodged in the intestines) will be dragged out.

Each time you cleanse, it will clean out a little more. Think of the layers of an onion. When you start, you will get one layer, and the next time, you will get the next layer. You may eventually find this is a good part of your daily or weekly routine. I do this cleanse a few times a week, year-round, as a normal part of my life/diet.

All of the food you consume should be efficiently digested, the nutrients absorbed, and the waste eliminated. If you are eating three times per day, then you should be having bowel movements three times per day. The more fiber you ingest, the easier and more efficiently the waste will be eliminated. There is not a set time period for this, but ideally, it should be anywhere from 3–12 hours after each meal.

You can test your digestive function by eating a meal of raw or slightly steamed red beets. The deep red color in the bowel movement will allow you to see when that meal is eliminated.
This is an easy way to see if your body is eliminating quickly
and efficiently.

If you feel uncomfortable and are not having bowel movements, you may want to get a colonic series to help get your system cleaned out and moving again. Do this before you do any type of cleanse. You don’t want to add more to the already clogged-up bowels.

Drink lots of water and fresh green organic vegetable juices to keep the toxins, acid, and waste moving out of the body.
This is so important!

These cleanses are cleaning out the inside of your body. With the removal of the plaque, waste, and debris, you will also be alkalizing your body with the super detox foods.

You will have to make a personal decision about the length of your cleanse. Many physicians think 21 days is the best length. You may want to consult me or your physician before starting a cleanse, or do the cleanse under his or her guidance. Many wonderful physicians and clinics have juice fasts, cleanses, and other programs you can do under their guidance.

The following will add to the effectiveness of the cleanse and rejuvenation of the body and spirit:
1. Adding some magnesium chloride flakes to your baths
or foot-soaks
2. Taking infrared saunas
3. exercising
4. sweating
5. laughing regularly

Join me for an adventure in food, wellness, peace, and a healthy environment! Our challenge for the this coming month is to exercise daily for a minimum of 20 minutes, eat something organic, plant-based, and nutrient-dense at least once per day, and do something joyfully creative and fun!

The post Best Foods For Skin And Radiant Health! appeared first on Organic Healthy Life - Nancy Addison - Nutrition.

]]> I believe everyone wants to be radiantly healthy. Our skin reflects our health and is the first impression people have of us when we meet; so it’s no surprise that many of us want to have the best and healthiest skin possible. I consider food to be my medicine and as it becomes our cells, tissue and blood it is only logical to try to eat the best foods for skin health and overall well-being.

Good nutrition is the fundamental key to protecting the cells of our skin on a cellular level. I feel the body is amazing and can do miraculous things,

if given the opportunity. Making the decision to eat healthier can be the way to rejuvenate the skin and your overall health.

I want to age gracefully and have my skin look as youthful as possible, and so I’ve researched this topic. I believe it’s a combination of things that helps us look and feel our best, including our skin. Getting enough sleep, exercise, reducing stress, staying hydrated, consuming a whole, fresh, anti-oxidant rich diet, and using non-toxic body care lotions and soaps, all play a part in our skin health and appearance.

Here are 8 of my top choices for best foods for skin

  1. Foods with Omega-3 fatty acids can help with more youthful looking skin, because they contain crucial nutrients needed to help repair damaged skin cells and their anti-inflammatory properties may lead to smoother, younger-looking skin and a reduction of inflammatory skin conditions like acne or psoriasis. Some of the top sources for omega-3’s is: cold-pressed, organic hemp or flax seed oil, hemp seeds, flax seeds, chia seeds, walnuts, and certain fish like sardines, salmon, mackerel, tuna, anchovies, and black cod.

2. Foods rich in Vitamin A, C and E  will provide the antioxidants that can help protect the cells from free     radicals that can damage skin and cause wrinkles. Organic, fresh, and unprocessed food will provide the most nutrition. Always consume fruits in their whole form with the fiber, never drink pure or processed fruit juice. (Fruit juice goes straight into the blood stream too quickly and it’s much better to have the fiber of the whole fruit to slow down the sugar from going into the blood stream to quickly.

a. Vitamin A rich foods are: apricots, Goji berries, Acai berries, butternut squash, carrots, cantaloupe, leafy greens (especially kale, Swiss Chard, romaine, as well as sprouts and wheat grass), mangoes, pumpkin, sweet potato, spinach, and tomatoes (Not only are tomatoes high in vitamin A, but they are also high in lycopene, which can act as natural sun protection and help prevent sun damage to the skin. In a study, “Volunteers who consumed 5 tablespoons of high-in-lycopene tomato paste daily for 3 months had nearly 25% more protection against sunburn. Even better, skin had more collagen, which prevents sagging. German scientists report that higher skin levels of this antioxidant correlate to fewer fine lines and furrows).”

b. Vitamin C rich foods are: apricots, Goji berries, blueberries, strawberries, bilberries, cranberries, raspberries, grapes, oranges, grapefruits, papayas, strawberries, kiwis, (red, yellow and orange) bell peppers, cantaloupes, tomatoes, broccoli, mangoes, Brussel sprouts, cauliflower, leafy greens (including kale), sprouts, and wheat grass.

c. Vitamin E rich foods are: avocado, sprouted nuts (ex. almond, Brazil, pine, hazelnuts), sprouted seeds (like sunflower seeds), olives, raw red sweet pepper, turnip greens, spinach, asparagus, mango, kiwi, wheat germ and wheat grass. (Sprouted seeds and nuts makes them easier to digest and more nutrient dense. I explain more about this in my nutrition/cookbooks).

  1. Wheat Grass: Wheat grass has many benefits taken internally or used topically. Wheatgrass is the young grass shoot of the common wheat plant, which is commonly taken as a juice. It can be taken in a capsule or tablet form as well. You may want to ease into taking wheatgrass, because it is such a powerful food.

Wheat grass juice is a great detoxifier and if it’s consumed too much too quickly or with a meal, it may make you feel nauseous or headachy. So, start off slow and add a little more to your diet as you can.

I recommend starting with one ounce a day and slowly adding a bit more to the diet as you get used to it. Take wheatgrass on an empty stomach or in addition to fresh fruits and vegetables. (I take mine first thing in the morning with a dash of Ceylon Cinnamon and pinch of Bolivian Sea Salt.  I think it makes it taste better and also adds some health benefits.)

You can also use the wheat grass in your non-chlorinated bath water or put on your skin topically as a wash in it’s pure form. It’s been shown to help detoxify the cells, oxygenate the blood, and have antiviral effects. In addition to this, wheat grass has been researched and found to help with lowering the risk of various cancers.

Wheat grass juice is an excellent source of concentrated chlorophyll (rich in antioxidants), vitamins A, C, and E, as well as containing about 98 of 102 of the earth elements found in soil (which include phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, selenium, iron, and potassium), electrolytes, 19 amino acids and powerful enzymes.

Wheatgrass juice is a powerhouse of nutrition.

4. Walnuts – Walnuts are high in omega-3 fatty acids, protein, as well as alpha-linolenic acid. The alpha-linolenic acid helps keep the skin moist and supple. Walnuts also have been found to help with sleep. Getting enough sleep is great for healthy skin. Our body rests and heals when it is truly resting at night in a deep sleep. Researchers at the University of Texas Health Science Center discovered that walnuts contain melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep.

5. Cacao – Yes, you can eat dark chocolate for your skin’s health! Cacao is one of the highest antioxidant and flavonoid containing foods. It is wonderful at improving circulation. a great source of flavonols — a group of plant metabolites that have excellent antioxidant effects. These flavonols can fight against skin damage. Flavonoids also fight free radicals (molecules that have lost an electron and attack DNA, enzymes and proteins or cell membranes) in the bloodstream.

Women who drank 1/2 cup of dark cacao cocoa every day for 12 weeks in a study had significantly softer, smoother, and better hydrated skin.  The British study, had the volunteers consume an 8-ounce cup of cocoa and found that they had improved blood flow to the brain for 2 hours. Besides better functioning on complex tasks, participants showed more brain activity in MRI scans–an indication of enhanced brain function that may reduce the risk of dementia.

6. Avocado – The avocado is a super powerhouse food! This fruit is packed with nutritional benefits and has a delicious creamy rich flavor. What could be better? Avocados contain monounsaturated fat, which is a “good fat.” According to the Harvard School of Public Health, “Unsaturated fats are called good fats because they can improve blood cholesterol levels, ease inflammation, stabilize heart rhythms, and play a number of other beneficial roles.”

The healthy fat, like the fat in avocados, is essential for every cell in our body. It can support our brain, boost our immune system, increase our nutrient absorption and best of all, it can create a glowing complexion.

7. Coconut – Coconut (meat, water and oil) can be used in many ways as food, lotion and beverage.. Talk about a health food, coconut oil is one of my favorites.

Coconut oil contains a high amount of saturated fats but these are very different from saturated fats from creature meats. The saturated fat of coconut oil contains Medium Chain Triglycerides, These medium chained fatty acids are absorbed differently by the body. These fatty acids go straight to the liver from the digestive tract and are then turned into ketone bodies. These ketones have a therapeutic effect on the brain, by allowing the brain to absorb glucose from the blood stream. Coconut oil has been studied for its positive effect on brain disorders like epilepsy and Alzheimer’s.

Coconut water also has Cytokinins, kinetin and trans-zeatin, which have antithrombotic, anti-carcinogenic and anti-ageing effects on the body. Coconut water is delicious and can a good alternative to drinking regular water.

I cook with coconut oil, add it to my recipes and use it as a body lotion. Topically, coconut oil is great for contributing to having radiant skin.  Coconut oil also is able to penetrate your skin on a deeper level than your average product. If you have a problem with dry skin, using coconut oil as your body lotion, is a effective remedy. Coconut oil is very stable and will be either hard or more liquid depending on the temperature. If it’s hard, simply rub the coconut oil in hands to warm it up, then just smooth over your body and any dry, rough areas.

8. Liquid Biocell, by Modere. This supplement is made up of food grade ingredients that creates an incredible supplement for skin. I have used this personally for over 5 years and I feel like my skin looks years younger in appearance. I’m 63 now. When I started using it and had taken it over one year,  I had people ask me if I’ve had a face lift, and I hadn’t. Today, people say I look 15 to 20 years younger than my age. I started taking this supplement to help get rid of my back pain from scoliosis and I no longer have my back discomfort. But the “side effect” was it made my skin feel and look incredible. My skin is more hydrated, moist, soft and youthful looking.

Liquid BioCell® is the new generation of collagen, redefining the way we age and how we perform. Every product is formulated with our exclusive Collagen/HA Matrix® Technology to support joint and muscle fitness, connective tissue health, counteract skin photoaging, restore youthful skin, and support healthy hair, nails, gums and eyes.*

The post Healthier Holiday Food appeared first on Organic Healthy Life - Nancy Addison - Nutrition.

]]> I love the tradition of sharing a meal with family and friends during the holidays.

Holiday foods often involve a number of rich, savory foods, creamy dips and fried foods. And yet, these foods don’t always make our body feel at it’s best. So, here are a few ingredient or food choice tips that can make our dishes healthier to share with beloved family and friends.

A potato dish can be made with sweet or purple potatoes in place of white potatoes. Use a high quality, organic butter, or use organic ghee or coconut oil as the healthy fat for mashed potatoes or when baking fries. Sweet potatoes are delicious and high in fiber and beta-carotene.

For a healthy stuffing, try making one with organic sprouted rice or even wild rice. Then, bake your stuffing in a separate dish instead of cooking it inside the turkey (where it can absorb a high amount of high saturated fat from the meat.) Also, use vegetable broth in place of chicken broth. Doing both of these things allow the vegetarian or vegan diners to be able to enjoy that dish as well.

When making cornbread stuffing, purchase the non-GMO, organic cornmeal (which is free of the bT toxin). If you are feeling brave, try using blue cornmeal, which is about 30 percent higher in protein and has more zinc and iron than white or yellow corn.

When preparing creature foods, try using a little orange juice and coconut oil to add moisture, and try baking it instead of frying it. If you are baking, frying or sautéing anything, use organic, pure coconut oil in place of lard, vegetable oil or a trans-fat like Crisco. It handles heat well and has fantastic health benefits.

For other types of animal, fish or fowl, you can grill, broil, or sauté them in a little coconut oil. After you remove them from the heat, you can drizzle some pure, organic, extra virgin olive oil on them and serve with lemon juice or a lemon juice vinaigrette. When dining, choose skinless, white meat pieces, and then add just a tiny bit of gravy.

Now for dessert, try making a pumpkin pie! You can make a whole sprouted grain crust yourself or you can find a whole grain ready-made crust at the store, and make my cashew crème recipe as the whipped cream for the topping. (Recipe is on page 185 in my award winning cookbook,  How To Be A Healthy Vegetarian, 2nd edition.) I also love having a simple pitted date as a sweet treat or dessert. It’s just fruit, and it is a healthier choice.

Try using non-dairy milk in your recipes or for your coffee creamer. If you want it to be sweeter, blend the milk (like the unsweetened, vanilla coconut or hemp milk) with a little extra added vanilla or maple extract in a blender and add some pitted dates (I soak them in water to make them softer, so they will crème up easier) and voilà! You have a healthier version of a sweet, holiday creamer for your coffee or desserts.

When making or serving snacks, try an easy dip option such as a healthy high-protein hummus or nutritious guacamole. Cutting some cucumber, red bell pepper or celery to use as the dipping chips is also a great choice! If you want to serve crackers or chips, try using a whole grain, sprouted, organic version or an organic sweet potato chip or cracker. (Late July is a good brand for chips and Mary’s Gone Cracker’s is my favorite cracker these days.)

For additional snacks that are easy for travel or on the go, try combinations of organic, sprouted nuts, sprouted seeds, olives, pitted dates, raisins, dry fruits, kale chips and coconut chips.

Here are some easy substitutions I use frequently: 1. unsweetened cashew yogurt in place of sour cream, 2. hummus or mashed avocado instead of mayonnaise for sandwiches, 3. unsweetened vanilla coconut, hemp or cashew milk in place of dairy.

With these ingredient substitutions, you can still eat all the delicious flavors you love while enjoying a number of health benefits.

In this way, you can feel and look your best as holiday activities continue on into January. Instead of regretting what you ate, you will glow with radiant health as you welcome the New Year of 2018!

Mommy opossum survives being hit by a car.

Another day in the life of a wild animal rehabber.

   Today, I received a phone call from the police department at SMU. They had a mommy opossum, in the street, and she had been hit by a car. I asked what they had done and they told me that the police officer would not touch her, because of police regulations. Thankfully, they had been really great guys and not just killed her. Instead they had called my volunteer group, the DFW Wildlife Coalition, which is made up of certified and licensed wildlife rehabilitators. Thankfully we have earned and gained a wonderful reputation with the police departments around the city. Almost all the police departments in the city, now call us instead of killing the wild animals like they had previously done in the past as normal procedure. So, because of their University police rules, she was still in the street. I was not sure what to expect as I drove there quickly.

        When I arrived, there were two police cars with their lights flashing. A crowd of students standing around looking at this poor mommy opossum that was frightened, badly wounded and barely standing in the street. Many were concerned, but simply did not know what to do about handling a badly wounded mommy opossum. I was really surprised she was still standing. Her face was all bloody and her eye was hanging outside of her face. Her little babies were all clinging to her back. I pulled my car over quickly and got out of my car. I didn’t have any rescue equipment with me today. I had been fortunately been at SMU that day, so I had been nearby.

          I had been working and I was in my nice clothes and high heels; which was not the best thing to wear when trying to rescue a wild animal. I opened my car trunk and luckily I had a big towel. I got it out and walked over to the mommy opossum. The officer looked really shocked and said, aren’t you afraid she will bite you? I replied that they know I am there to help them. Animals can read your energy. Opossums are actually very docile and fragile creatures. I reached down and gently scooped her up in my towel as carefully and gently as I possibly could and started to walk back to my car. I did not have anything to put her in; so I was just going to put her down on the floor of my car on the soft towel for the car ride to my home. It was [6:45] at night and there weren’t any vets open at this hour that I knew would look at a wild animal. I would have to wait until morning.

          Officer Norris walked over to help and opened the car door and then moved some things for me out of the floor for me. I was trying to hurry, because she was so tremendously hurt, I needed to get her to a place where I could take care of her and get her calm and quiet.I knew she was in shock. I told him quickly a few of my opossum facts, like they don’t carry rabies; they are really docile and sweet. Their closest relative is the koala bear. How they have no defense except looking scary and a few quick facts so he would treat opossums with more kindness in the future. He wanted to ask me questions about how he can find me again, if he needs me. I quickly gave him my information and told him that I work with the DFW Wildlife Coalition. He thanked me and I was off.

          I drove very slowly and carefully so that she wasn’t jostled anymore than necessary. With all of the blood and her poor little eye, I didn’t think she was going to survive. Surprises do happen. I got her fixed up a little and put her to bed in a soft warm place away from my dog. Her babies still nestled up under her body. I tried to keep them intact so she would feel secure. I gave her some water, but she didn’t really drink any. I let her rest until morning, because I felt like she couldn’t take anything more that day.
           The next morning, I was so surprised to find her still alive. Just barely breathing, but still hanging in there. I called my vet and told him I was coming over with a hurt mommy. I got there and he saw her right away. I had her in a box with all of her babies still with her.

          Dr.Ward looked at her closely and cleaned her wounds. He told me he thought her jaw was broken, but after some more careful observation, he decided her jaw was not broken. I was so relieved. . Her eye really hurt her and it was awful to watch as he tried to clean it. She had dried blood caked on her head. Most of it came off pretty well and easily. She cried a little bit though. He tried to be as gentle as he could. He gave her some fluids with an IV and gave me one to take home. He gave her a shot of antibiotics and some cortisone to help with the swelling.
            When I got her home, I put her on some clean soft towels and let her rest. When I checked on her later that day, she had eaten some food, some of the water had been drunk and some of the strawberry smoothie had also been eaten. I was so happy. The babies were still nursing and she seemed really worn out. I am hoping she will continue getting better. I will continue to keep them and raise the babies; so that they can be released into the wild when they are grown. I will probably keep the mommy, because of her condition. I may keep her for life, because of her eye. I don’t think she can survive in the wild without her eye. I hope she continues to improve every day until she feels great. This is just another day in the life of an animal rehabber.

Relationships are a vital part of our lives and can directly impact our health and well-being. Relationships are fragile and need to be nurtured and protected. With all of the present-day craziness of: politics, the economy, the weather, internet relationships, isolation because of electronics, text messaging, etc., it can put a strain on any relationship. Miscommunication or disagreements can arise. We can all use some help, in keeping our lives connected in a healthy, happy way!

These tips might come in handy, if you find yourself in a challenging situation or disagreement with someone you love and care about.

Fighting Fair #1: Avoid Blaming or Yelling

It is such a sad situation when a spouse is blamed. It can create a defensive behavior, and it doesn’t solve any problems and it escalates the argument.

Yelling can escalate things. When our emotions are running high, it is easy to fall into the yelling mode, because you may not feel like you are being heard. But I learned once that the first person to raise their voice is automatically the loser.

I personally have been subjected to verbal abuse in my life and It has been harder to overcome than the physical abuse. It gets deep down into your subconscious and can undermine your self-confidence. A healthy relationship does not have room for this type of abuse. Seek professional help if you find yourself in this type of situation.

Fighting Fair #2: Avoid Using Degrading Language

Avoid insults, put-downs, name-calling, or cussing. When you put your partner down or insult their character, it shows disrespect for his or her dignity. This is verbally abusive behavior. It can harm them much more than you even imagined. In a healthy, positive relationship, we want to build up our partner’s self-confidence and self-esteem, not break it down, even when having disagreements.

(If you find yourself in a situation where your partner is not willing to address the fact that they are using degrading or verbally abusive language directed at you, you may want to seek professional help.)

Fighting Fair #3: Avoid Using Force

When someone resorts to physical violence against someone they love, it is devastating to the relationship and the person who is being abused. It is unacceptable behavior to threaten, use force, or even threaten verbally, if this happens, it is important to seek professional help. Everyone has the right to feel safe and a right not to feel in danger. So, pushing, restraining, breaking things are all violence and should not be a part of a relationship.

I personally have been subjected to physical violence and it is not a part of a healthy relationship. Seek professional help if you find yourself in this type of situation.

Fair Fighting Fair #4: Avoid the Subject of Divorce

When arguments arise, try avoiding using manipulative behavior, like threatening to leave the relationship. This can ruin the trust in a relationship and relationships are built on trust. This type of threat can create fear in your partner’s mind as to how committed you are in the relationship.  This mistrust can make it harder to resolve the issue at hand and possibly cause more problems later.

Fighting Fair #5: Be Yourself, Describe How You Feel

When arguing it can be easy to. try to interpret the other person’s feelings and make assumptions that may or may not be true. So, stay in your adult, be strong, but calm and define your own feelings and how the situation is making you feel.

When a partner tries to control someone else by telling them how they should think or feel, it puts that other person in a defensive position and distracts from the true underlying issue at hand. Instead work on the issue and how to solve the problem and meet each of your needs.

Fighting Fair #6: Stay Present

When we are fighting, it can be easy to bring up past hurts or situations, but resist this and focus on the present issue and leave everything else out of it. Try to stay focused on resolving the problem at the moment.

Fighting Fair #7: Listen and Take Turns Speaking

Be truly present and truly listen to the other person. Then take turns and allow each of you to speak without interruption. It is important that everyone feels they have been heard and that each person has been given an equal opportunity to explain their viewpoint on the subject. It is all about fairness and equality.

Fighting Fair Rule #8: Take A Time Out to Think Things Over and Give Each Other Some Space

When we get into an argument, it is difficult to truly look at things calmly and without the emotional input.

So, after you have both spoken your thoughts, agree to take a hour or some time (at a minimum 30 minutes), to do something else, think about the situation and meet up again a little later to discuss ideas on resolving the issue. Sometimes we just need some time to reflect and think before we come to a calm, well thought out resolution that can serve both person’s needs.

In Conclusion

Having grown up in a family of lawyers, rules can help situations with emotions be handled in a more sensible method without being exposed to degrading, humiliating, childish or cruel behavior.  That is one reason the court systems run in a more organized fashion, allowing each party to present their case and hopefully find some resolution.  I’ve found that taking the time out and also possibly writing down the pros and cons of each situation can also help you see what you have in common and possibly agree with in a situation.

I wish you well in your relationships and I hope this helps.
