Published on Leave a comment on You’ve Been Conned: Your “Healthy” Cereal Might Be Ruining Your Health – Don’t Trust The Front Of The Box!

Breakfast cereal might look like a quick and easy way to start your day,
but new research shows many cereals - especially those aimed at kids - are less healthy than ever.

Here's what you need to know before pouring your next bowl.

Sugar levels are on the rise

Though the increase in sugar might seem modest, many cereals already start with a high sugar content.

Most exceed recommended daily sugar limits, especially when served to children, making them a poor everyday option.

Fat content has jumped over 30 %

From 2010 to 2023, fat levels in children’s cereals increased by a staggering 33.6%.

High fat content in the morning can contribute to poor cardiovascular health and unbalanced energy levels.

Sodium is creeping up too

Sodium content rose by 32.1% across new cereal launches, which can raise blood pressure - even in children - and increase long-term heart disease risks.

Fiber is steadily decreasing

Dietary fiber dropped significantly after 2021, falling from 3.82 grams to just 2.94 grams per serving.

That’s a big problem for digestion, fullness, and maintaining a healthy weight.

Protein has taken a hit

Protein content fell from an average of 1.97 grams to 1.69 grams per serving over 14 years.…

Published on Leave a comment on Kiwis: An Overlooked Fruit Gaining Popularity In Nutrition Articles For Impressive Benefits

Hi Folks, again I heard about Kiwis just yesterday from an Eye Surgeon over YouTube yesterday - how they are Beneficial for Our Eyes. Then an Article on MSN today. I've placed two Articles for good measure here, including one that Informs us about the difference between the Green Kiwis and the Gold Kiwis.

Kiwis Come To Light For Health Benefits

Kiwi Unpeeled: How Two A Day Could Be The Key To Fresher Skin Health and Better Sleep
By Meike Leonard – Daily Mail

Tart, green and fuzzy, they may not always seem the most appealing snack. 

But experts say the humble kiwi comes with a whole host of benefits – for our mood, digestion and even skin. 

Native to China since the 12th century, kiwi were traditionally used for medicinal purposes. 

The fruit was administered for stomach issues as well as to aid digestion, ancient records show. 

In the early 20th century, after horticulturists brought the plant's seeds to New Zealand – where it was renamed for its resemblance to the country's furry, brown national bird – the kiwi became a popular snack amongst stationed US servicemen.

Today, the fruit is one of New Zealand's defining agricultural products – making more than NZ$1billion in export revenue. …

mental health and fitness-related content.

Vision Related With Mental Health

We all know that maintaining eye health is important, Indeed, potential vision loss is often one of the most feared aspects of ageing. It’s not difficult to understand why. The impacts of vision loss on daily functioning are obvious. What may not be so obvious, however, is how close the relationship is between your eyes and your mental health.

The Link Between Your Eyes and Your Brain

Physicians and researchers alike increasingly recognise the eye as an extension of the human brain. After all, the optic nerve that rests behind the eyeball forms a direct route into the deepest, oldest, and often the most instinctive and “emotional” parts of the brain.

The interconnectedness of the eyes and the brain lends credence to new and increasing evidence that the eyes can signal the presence not only of physical illness but the presence of mental illness as well.

For example, research suggests that optometrists may be able to detect signs of undiagnosed schizophrenia, presumably due to electrical anomalies characteristic of the illness that can be detected in the eyes’ pupillary reactivity.…

Hi Folks, some Good Nutrition Related News here. Almonds as a Functional Food.
And please remember these should be Raw Almonds OR Activated Almonds OR Soaked Almonds, not Baked, Roasted or Salted, in order to get the Nutrition and Benefits from them.

Also, I learnt years ago that my Sister's Rosacae could be relieved if she stopped eating Almonds. They do not agree with some people's Natural Chemistry because there is a predisposition towards the Rosacae disorder. That disorder only affects some people, so most of us Benefit from Eating Almonds - they are so good for us, hey? My Sisters Cheeks started returning to normal when she stopped her Fad on Almonds. Shall we go?

Published on Leave a comment on Is SOY Good Or Bad For You? What Do Honest Health Advocates Say?

We shall See! I found an Article by a Renowned Natural Practicing Scientist recently who is Very Good with a Lot of Things to do with Foods, Diet and Nutrition who likes Soyabeans and I found it baffling because "he would know better" I said to myself
in astonishment. Then I realised, he is Asian and lives in a Western Country.
So there's obviously personal sentiments involved. I try not to do that with Research and Articles I place on my Websites. And being an Independent Natural Health Researcher (Part-Time) makes me Keen to keep to True Facts, and Balanced Info 
compared to some Professionals I've seen out there. They make those Unscrupulous Manufacturers very happy, I'm sure. And in some instances, they are paid Big Bucks to Endorse Soy, Canola and Seed Oils that are Compromising people's Health - believe it or not - this has been going on for Decades "behind your backs" and is Nothing New to Natural Health Researchers like myself.

And what is really grievious to Dedicated Researchers is when some "Health Professionals" have a "Blind Spot" regarding SOY that stems from Early Misinformation they have not Corrected or Cared to do so.…

Published on Leave a comment on AIP Auto Immune Diet: A Real Solution for Breakthrough Where Other Diets and Remedies Fail for Certain Health Conditions

By Janet Vargas - Independent Natural Health Researcher 30+ Yrs

The Key Role of this Diet is to Deal with "Leaky Gut" (Permeability of the Intestinal Tract) The Diet Aims to Heal the Gut Lining, which then Reduces Inflammation from the Bloodstream.

IMMUNE REGULATION is the Order of the Day here with these Health Conditions because they are Disorders of the Immune System whereby it fights against itself in disarray basically because it's Out of Synchronization. When the Immune System is functioning Normally, you can Stimulate and Strengthen it however when it is out of Order, we need to do the Opposite - we need to CALM IT DOWN because it's OVERACTIVE. OK?

A Real Answer For People With Auto-Immune Disorders
Be Encouraged!

The AIP Diet shows promise for Hashimoto's by significantly Improving Quality of Life, Reducing Symptoms like Fatigue and Pain, and Lowering Inflammation (CRP levels) in small studies, though it often doesn't change thyroid labs quickly. It works by Removing Inflammatory Foods to Identify Triggers and Calm the Immune System. Some Women with Endometriosis report it has brought them Considerable relief. One of these women runs a Recipe Website with another who has a different Autoimmune Condition because it has proven to be an Effective Way of Managing Symptoms.…

Published on Leave a comment on The Leaky Gut Syndrome – The Permeable Intestine and How To Deal With It – Some Answers For Better Health!

You can blame most of this on the Highly Compromised  Food Industry where So Many Foods are not Real Food – they are Highly Processed… Ultra-Processed…Foods and Fake Foods…Laden with Cane Sugar or Sweeteners and ALL Manner of Chemical Additives. No wonder our Gut Health is going Crazy because most of the FOODS are CRAZY and Our Body can’t handle it.

This truly Is Important to Restore Gut Health Our Body depends on to experience GOOD HEALTH.
The pursuit of So Many in Our Time!

Our intestine comes into contact every day with the material from no time - in the form of food, bacterial fragments, pollutants. Between our body and the outside world, it is constantly decided which substances the body absorbs, which are not processed and excreted. In this process, a properly functioning intestinal mucosa of the gastrointestinal tract is required and of enormous importance for our health.

The symptoms of Leaky Gut syndrome can be very diffuse and diverse, such as:

  • Joint pain and muscle pain
  • Chronic muscle pain
  • Concentration disorders
  • Bloating, diarrhea, constipation
  • Headache / migraine
  • Mood fluctuations up to depression
  • Eczeme /acne
  • weakened immune system
  • Chronic fatigue
  • Food intolerance (food intolerances)
  • Irritable bowel complaints

Many of the symptoms mentioned are not necessarily associated with a sick intestine.…

Published on Leave a comment on Nutritious Foods Way to Help Take Some Weight Off…..Diet Kits are a Gimmick, a Rip-Off for Profits!

By Janet Vargas - Independent Natural Health Researcher 30+ Yrs

Hi Girls and Guys, the Truth is that Diet Kits are more of a Gimmick, a Marketing Ploy. I remember the Herbalife bunch of Supplements; the Jenny Craig bunch of Mini Cans; and the Lemon Diet the Chemist sold years ago - but Pharmacies are even known to have Toxic Aspartame in their "Weightloss Products" that prevents you from taking off Weight anyway. Yes, Synthetic Sweeteners do that. So do Toxic Canola and Seed Oils. I have Articles on those. No-Fat Low-Fat Diets don't work because we need a Moderate amount of True Healthy Fats in our Diet because "Without Fats we cannot take Off Fat" it's the way Our Body Works. The No-Fat Low-Fat Diets make us Stressed and/or Cranky anyway because Our Brain and Nerve Cells need some Nourishing Fats to Function Smoothly. But don't go Crazy Keto with Excess Fat - it's very Unhealthy and Ridiculous! You don't need that.

Liquids help with Weight Reduction and so do Enzymes. You an have Liquids in a Drink for Healthy Beverage and also as a Slimming Soup.…

By Janet Vargas - Independent Natural Health Researcher 30+ Yrs

Hi Friends, I have a few Questions to ask you: Did you know the Google has Censored most of the Good Information about Sunshine? Did you know that Big Pharma makes Multi Billions of Dollars from Those Toxic Sunscreen? (most of them are) Did you know that Big Pharma has the Strongest Influence over News Media? They actually Run the Dodgy Big Food Industries. I could say More, just please don't take ALL their Medical Advice so Seriously - especially when it comes to Good Healthy Sunshine.

What If Everything We Were Told About Sunscreen Was a Lie?

Jenna Macarthy   

My husband and I raised our daughters in Santa Barbara, California, where the weather was relentlessly idyllic and outdoor activities were a year-round event. On any given day, we’d be at the beach, by the pool, out on a lake, or hiking the nearest mountain. The pre-activity ritual was an absolute non-negotiable: The girls would stand spread-eagle wearing as little clothing as possible, arms in a victory salute and eyes scrunched tightly shut, while I sprayed every inch of their bodies with the toxic chemicals I was promised would protect them from deadly skin cancer.…
