Published on Leave a comment on A Low Salicylate Diet for Salicylate Intolerance to Help Manage Distressing Symptoms of Fatigue 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 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.

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. Phew!  

Why Follow A Low-Salicylate Diet

The primary reason to follow this diet is to reduce symptoms of salicylate intolerance or sensitivity, which can include various skin reactions and respiratory issues.…

Published on Leave a comment on Habits People Over 60 Still Practice That Quietly Built Stronger Families Than Most Modern Advice Ever Could

Maybe the Best Modern Advice isn’t New at all.
It’s time we Start Practicing what they Never Stopped Doing.

By Adam Kelton from Veg Out Mag

We like to think our generation has it all figured out.

We have life coaches, mindfulness apps, therapy podcasts, and endless advice online.

But talk to someone in their 60s or 70s, and you’ll quickly realize that many of them built something that feels increasingly rare: families that actually stay close, grounded, and connected.

They didn’t have fancy tools or self-help jargon.

What they had were simple habits that worked because they were lived, not preached.

Here are nine of those habits that quietly built stronger families than most modern advice ever could.

Families Who Eat Together Are Often Happier
Shared Mealtimes Are Good For Bonding

They Ate Together

It sounds small, but this one was the glue.

In most homes decades ago, dinner wasn’t optional.

You didn’t scroll through your phone in the living room or grab a plate and disappear to your room.

You sat down, waited for everyone, and ate together.

Psychologists have since confirmed what our grandparents already knew: shared meals strengthen emotional bonds, improve communication, and reduce the chances of kids developing anxiety or depression.…

Hi there, these are two Articles for this Post - one on Chives and one on Parsley in the Interest of Better Health. I trust that many of you will give Chives and Parsley a try and maybe inspired to Grow some Organically too.

The Garden Herb that Experts say Boosts Immune Health
and Protects your Vision

From Independent UK

Herbalists may Recommend them for Digestive Health,
Supporting the Immune System, and as a Mild Diuretic

Chives are a longstanding favorite in cream cheese, omelettes, scrambled eggs and spreads. But did you know the popular, slightly peppery-tasting herb comes with some major health benefits?

Just a tablespoon of the thin green vegetable – which some may mistake for the stronger-tasting, thicker green onion – helps to provide essential vitamins and minerals that strengthen eye health, and support a well-regulated gut and immune system.

Chives contain antibacterial and antiviral compounds, according to a handful of past studies published since the early 2000s.

“In modern herbalism, chives are used for their mild antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties. Herbalists may recommend them for digestive health, supporting the immune system, and as a mild diuretic,” botanist Dr.…

Published on Leave a comment on 20 Produce Mistakes You Didn’t Know You Were Making – Helpful Guidelines by RD

By Kristine Solomon - TheHealthy.Com - RD

Here's how to store your fruits and veggies to keep them from spoiling too fast,
as well as how to use stems, leaves, and other "scraps" to get the most out of your produce.

Produce Mistakes To Avoid

Fresh fruits and vegetables are some of the most nutrient-rich foods you can buy. But sometimes it seems like they can spoil way too quickly or go bad before you know it. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Storing produce properly can make it last a lot longer, and cooking it or consuming it in certain ways can maximize the health benefits.

“Fresh fruits and vegetables are some of your most powerful tools for health and wellness and it’s worth it to learn how to buy and cook them,” says Shari Portnoy, RD with the American Council of Science and Health practicing in New York City.

Ever wonder if it’s possible to make better use of “scraps” like stems, leaves, and peels? The answer is yes.

“There are so many myths about food and that leads to a lot of common mistakes when shopping for groceries, including produce,” says Bonnie Taub-Dix, RDN in Woodmere, New York, and author of Read It Before You Eat It.…

Published on Leave a comment on Things Our Opticians Are Not Telling Us About DIET In Relation To EYE CARE

And this is only Part of the Story of Vital Questions they are Not ASKING US and Vital Guidelines they are Not Giving Us that are Imperative for the HEALTH of Our Precious EYES.

What's the reason for this? They're only into SELLING GLASSES basically which have several hundred percent markup on, someone informed us on YouTube several years back who left that line of work.

So I'm Calling Them Out for not only their Outrageous Profits but for not asking us how much SCREENTIME do we Subject our Eyes to each Day and Evening, and do we punish our eyes with Too Much BLUE LIGHT Exposure from Excessive Screen Use.

It would also be of immense benefit to Most of Us if they gave us a Printout of something like the following. My word it would, because the more you research Vision and Eyecare, you see it has a LOT to do with DIET. If you read on, you will see why. And it will make plenty of sense. Shall we go?

What’s the Worst Food for your Eyes? Beware of These 5

Does what I eat affect what I see?…

Published on Leave a comment on Teenager ‘Blind’ From Living Off Crisps And Chips: Our Eyes Don’t Favor Diet Abuse – Lets Be Kind To Them!

Michelle Roberts Health editor, BBC News online

Experts are warning about the risks of extreme restrictive eating after a teen developed permanent sight loss after living on a diet of chips and crisps.

Eye doctors in Bristol UK cared for the 17-year-old after his vision had deteriorated to the point of blindness.

Since leaving primary school, the teen had been eating only French fries, Pringles and white bread, as well as an occasional slice of ham or a sausage.

Tests revealed he had severe vitamin deficiencies and malnutrition damage.

Chips and Junk Food are BAD for Our EYES

Malnourished

Three years later, he was taken to the Bristol Eye Hospital because of progressive sight loss, Annals of Internal Medicine journal reports.

Dr Denize Atan, who treated him at the hospital, said: "His diet was essentially a portion of chips from the local fish and chip shop every day. He also used to snack on crisps - Pringles - and sometimes slices of white bread and occasional slices of ham, and not really any fruit and vegetables.

"He explained this as an aversion to certain textures of food that he really could not tolerate, and so chips and crisps were really the only types of food that he wanted and felt that he could eat."…

Published on Leave a comment on ‘I Married The Train Driver Who Saved My Life’ A Couple Share Their Story To Help Those Who Feel Down

From the BBC Good News

This article contains a small reference to suicide and a mental health issue.

On a summer afternoon in 2019, nurse Charlotte Lay got ready for her night shift as normal but "wasn't feeling quite right".

Within a short space of time she had decided to end her own life close to a West Yorkshire railway station.

But thanks to the kindness of the train driver who found her in crisis, she did not go through with it.

Three years later they married each other and went on to have children.

The couple credit each other with saving their lives

"I'd struggled with my mental health since my teens and I'd been in and out of the system since," Charlotte, now 33, says.

Her memories of that day five years ago are "quite blurry" but she says she remembers seeing a train pulling up on the tracks where she was.

"I remember seeing a man getting off the train and starting to panic and thinking he was going to tell me off," she recalls.

"He approached me and said 'hi, my name is Dave, are you having a bad day?'…
