Published on Leave a comment on A Low Salicylate Diet for Salicylate Intolerance to Help Manage Distressing Symptoms of Fatigue, Allergies and Brain Fog Etc

By Janet Vargas - Independent Natural Health Researcher 30+ Yrs

If your System cannot Tolerate taking Aspirin, and Meals with Tomatoes, and certain Meals often cause you Stomach Discomfort or Fatigue or Brain Fog, maybe even IBS... you may have Anxiety or Depression...you most likely have a health condition called Salicylate Intolerance (similar but different to Allergies) A special Temporary Diet for your Food Needs could help control those Symptoms and make them
less distressing.

PRESENTLY UPDATING

A low-salicylate diet involves eating foods that are Low in or contain no Salicylates to reduce symptoms of salicylate intolerance. This diet involves carefully eliminating High-Salicylate Foods like certain Fruits, Vegetables, and Spices, and then reintroducing them under the guidance of a Healthcare Provider to identify which ones cause reactions. Salicylates are natural chemicals found in many Nutritious Foods, but they are also concentrated in Processed Foods and found in medications like Aspirin. 

Symptoms of Salicylate Intolerance can be:

Asthma, Headaches, Memory Loss, Poor Concentration, Fatigue, Stomach Pain, Bloating, IBS, Hyperactivity, Poor Concentration, Eczema, Stomach Pain, Night or Day Wetting, Irritability, Defiant Behaviour, Aggression, Cries Easily, Emotionally Sensitive, Sleeping Issues. No-One has All of them.…

Published on Leave a comment on The Secret Ingredient For Optimum Health? It’s Kindness, Says This Fitness Expert

HERE'S AN INOVATIVE APPROACH TO WEIGHTLOSS
THAT IS RECORDING GOOD RESULTS.

By Positive.News

You’d be forgiven if you thought the key to improving your health was a New Diet or more Willpower. Turns out it’s Kindness, says the founder of a unique program that launched in January.

Every Sunday, participants in Eddie Jones’ Health Program fill in a form to let him know how they got on during the week. But they’re not tracking workout duration, weight loss or calories. Instead, they’re totting up Acts of Kindness.

“It’s completely Anonymous, so I can’t tell who’s writing. I’ll never know,” Jones says. “I just dip into it every week or two. There have been some really, really wonderful things in there.”

He points to a participant who bought a supermarket voucher for someone who was struggling to feed their children. Another cared for a bee with an injured wing. Someone else simply wrote a kind note to an acquaintance and slipped it into a flower pot for them to find.

Jones is a qualified Personal Trainer and Nutritionist who has been helping people Transform their Health for almost a decade.…

THIS POST HAS A BALANCE OF HOW CLUTTER AFFECTS US and POSITIVE APPROACHES AGAINST NEGATIVE MINDSETS THAT CAN HINDER US FROM DECLUTTERING and MAKING PROGRESS WITH THIS STRATEGY.
BE SURE TO SEE THE TWO REALLY HELPFUL VIDEOS ON THIS PAGE. THEY WILL HELP YOU CONSIDERABLY.

How Clutter Can Affect Your Health

Barbara Brody from WebMD

Too Much Stuff

If your closets are bursting or your desk is topped with piles of disorganized papers, you may want to take some steps toward a neater home or workspace. While a bit of chaos might have some upsides -- at least one study suggests that a messy room spurs creativity -- it has many more downsides. It can even be damaging for your physical and mental health.

Mess Equals Stress

When everything is in order, you know exactly where you put your glasses and keys so you can grab them and go on with your day. That saves time and a whole lot of hassle. In one study, women who saw their homes as cluttered had high levels of the stress hormone cortisol throughout the day, while those who described their abode as a well-organized, restful space had lower levels.…

Published on Leave a comment on 5 Foods for Healthy Joints to Reduce Pain and Inflammation – See If These Help

By the Foot Achilles and Ankle Podiatry Center

YES SEE IF THESE HELP. GIVE THEM A FEW WEEKS, OR EVEN A FEW MONTHS IF YOU ARE TAKING OFF WEIGHT. THIS IS AN "INSTANT GENERATION" WHERE PEOPLE ARE EXPECTING EVERYTHING TO BE INSTANT. THE OLD WAYS ARE SOMETIMES THE BEST KNOWLEDGE WE CAN ARM OURSELVES WITH. FOR INSTANCE "A LITTLE PATIENCE, A LITTLE TIME" HEY?

Joint pain can turn simple tasks into daily struggles. Walking up stairs, playing with your kids, or even standing for a few minutes becomes uncomfortable when your ankles, knees, or other joints ache. While injury and arthritis are common culprits, inflammation often plays a central role in making that pain worse and last longer.

What you eat directly impacts inflammation levels in your body. Research shows certain foods contain powerful compounds that help calm inflammatory responses, protect joint tissue, and reduce pain. This article breaks down five evidence-based foods that support healthy joints. You’ll learn exactly how each one works, which varieties offer the most benefit, and how much to include in your diet for real results.

Healthy Snacks for Healthy Joints

1. Fatty fish rich in omega 3s

Fatty fish stands out as one of the most powerful foods for healthy joints because of its high concentration of omega-3 fatty acids.…

Published on Leave a comment on Impressive Health Benefits of Cabbage – Please Consider Adding Them To Your Diet!

Cabbage is highly nutritious and rich in vitamin C, fibre, and vitamin K. Some research suggests that it may have health benefits that include supporting digestion and heart health, among others.

Despite its impressive nutrient content, cabbage is often overlooked.

While it may look a lot like lettuce, it actually belongs to the Brassica genus of vegetables, which includes broccoli, radishes, and Brussels sprouts (1).

It comes in a variety of shapes and colors, including red, purple, white, and green, and its leaves can be either crinkled or smooth.

This vegetable has been grown around the world for thousands of years and can be found in a variety of dishes, including sauerkraut, kimchi, and coleslaw.

Additionally, cabbage is loaded with vitamins and minerals.

Cabbages are Good for You - Cabbages are Great - Green Cabbage, Red Cabbage
and Nappa Chinese Cabbage. Compare on the Page!

Did you know Australia has a reputation for "The World's Greatest Pill Poppers?"
You may want to Pop a lot Less when you read this!

I will be back tomorrow with more to say. It's after Midnight.
Had to Post it straight away without delay:)

An Article I Spotted On British Vogue!

I’ll never forget hearing Dr Chris van Tulleken – the renowned physician and author of Ultra-Processed People: Why Do We All Eat Stuff That Isn’t Food… And Why Can’t We Stop? – compare a protein bar to meth. Or, rather, he suggested that eating one was akin to the “first hit” of meth. The comparison forms part of his wider campaign to wake both the public and the government up to the dangers of ultra-processed foods, which he describes as “industrially produced edible substances”, products he argues have no place on British shelves.

The lack of regulation and meaningful quality control now endemic in the wellness industry raises an uncomfortable question too: could similar parallels be drawn to magnesium, ashwagandha, omega-3 and countless other supplements we are enthusiastically mainlining in the name of health?…

By Janet Vargas - Independent Natural Health Researcher 30+ Yrs
(Combining Info from Websites and AI Overview)

Here on this Page are some Safe Guidelines for Improving Your Liver Health and dealing with a Fatty Liver - it is very common these days. Please remember you need to have Adequate Sleep (7-8 Hrs) and two 15 Min Walks each day OR 5-8 Min Walks 10-15 Mins after 3 Meals a day. If you do a few things to Manage Stress Levels, that will also help.

Have you been feeling unusually fatigued lately, dealing with a persistent sluggishness, or experiencing a dull discomfort in the upper right side of your abdomen? If you have recently been diagnosed with Hepatic Steatosis—commonly known as Fatty Liver disease—it can feel quite alarming.

Your liver is your body’s ultimate, unsung superhero. It silently performs over 500 vital functions every single day, acting as a master filter that cleanses your blood, synthesizes crucial proteins, processes nutrients, and metabolizes fats. However, when excess fat builds up in liver cells, this silent powerhouse begins to struggle, dragging your metabolic energy and overall vitality down with it.

Can They Help to Protect Your Liver?

Yes. Moderate movement around the house combined with three 5–8 minute walks after meals can help protect against nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease, especially when done consistently.

The effect isn't dramatic from the walks alone, but it can be meaningful over time because physical activity:

  • Improves insulin sensitivity.

  • Reduces the amount of fat the liver stores.
  • Supports weight maintenance or weight loss.

Hi Friends, this has to do with Claims, there's Aluminum-Fluoride in Apple Wax. Apparently Not. And Neither or those Chemicals are allowed to be placed on our Food. It came from some Scare Mongers in America back in the 80s and has been found to be wrong. When Use of the Internet commenced, that Rumor was used again, and it exists to this day because it went Viral. As if we need any more Scares about Food Chemicals hey? Because there are so many Real Ones that do exist.

So just to let you feel less intimidated by the "Aluminum-Fluoride" Scare many of us had some time back that lingers in the thoughts of many concerned and health-conscious people, I will place this AI Info here for you.

Please Folk, for your Health's Sake, your Pocket and Your Family, find out what the Keto Trend is really about, where it is going and see it for what it really is. In short, this Diet is very Restrictive and very Unbalanced. For sometime I've been Mystified as to "WHY" every so often I find out that another Professional Health Advocate approves of and Promotes this KETO Diet, and some of them don't leave it alone?
It was "Baffling" at times and lingered in my thoughts.

As some of you know, I've been into genuine part-time Independent Natural Health Research 30+ Years and am a pretty Perceptive person - my Instincts serve me well. For sometime, I've felt an Unease about it - that there's something more than a Trend involved. It Is "Trendy" and it's Not going to go away any time soon - and it does a lot of damage to many people's Health. So why are these Brilliant Advocates (some of them) involved in it? Like Dr Eric Berg, whose Teaching Videos, I've enjoyed many times.…

Hi Friends, a Family Member makes very Good Rice, I never could. Had a few attempts and never tied it again! He made extra Rice occasionally when I'm invited for Meals and he gave me some to take home afterwards. I just didn't have the Nac of making it and the Rice Cooker I bought years ago was Non-Stick, so understandably, I wasn't comfortable about using it.

But I had an Idea two weeks ago - seeing if there's an uncoated Stainless Steel Rice Cooker OR a Glass One available and there was, so I bought one. I also Searched to find out how to Clean Brown Basmati Rice, ready to cook (had heard about that) and I found out.

So I'm thinking many of you Folks may like to know how to do that, and different Cooking Methods because not everyone can afford to buy an Appliance at the moment. So here we Go!

Rinsing Brown Rice for Less Arsenic Exposure?

The most effective method to clean brown rice is a vigorous Cold Water rinse and agitate cycle, repeated 3 to 4 times.…
