Published on Leave a comment on More About Kiwi Fruit: So Good For You – New Variety Ruby-Red Berry Delicious!

By Janet Vargas Independent Natural Health Researcher 30+ Yrs

Hi Folks, I posted an Article about Kiwis in Mid-March, they are So Good for Us. I just found out they are Good for Our Eyes, in addition to their other Benefits. And when you look at this according to Food Signatures (Key Benefits found in certain foods, referred to as the Doctrine of Signatures by the Greeks many years ago when they resemble a specific part of our Body) a Carrot when sliced resembles the Iris in our Eyes AND so does a Kiwi when sliced, hey? So from that perspective, it is not too surprising to hear a Natural Health Scientist mention Kiwi's Benefit for Our Eyes in a YouTube Video recently, never-the-less pleasantly surprising.

Today, I had a wonderful experience when shopping in one of the Aldi Stores - a discovery that there is a Ruby-Red Kiwi Fruit available from a company called Zepri in New Zealand in addition to Sungold Kiwis. They are selling here in Australia and Internationally now.

Berry Delicious!

It's Interesting to note that each one of these Kiwi Fruits have different Nutrient Profiles and Benefits (Variation-Wise) in addition to their Colours.…

Published on Leave a comment on 10 Fruits That Prove Food Really Is Good Medicine

By Mie Moller Bie on MSN

When it comes to healing, the kitchen can be just as powerful as the pharmacy. Packed with vitamins, minerals, and natural compounds, these ten fruits do more than satisfy cravings but also support digestion, boost immunity, and protect long-term health.

1. Guava: Vitamin-C Power Punch

Guava delivers more vitamin C than most citrus says Pharmrep, along with fiber and potassium. Its tiny seeds add crunch while supporting digestion. Try it sliced with lime, blended into smoothies, or stirred into yogurt.

2. Blueberries: Tiny but Mighty

Packed with anthocyanins, blueberries help combat oxidative stress. They pair with breakfast bowls, salads, or a simple handful as a snack. Regular bites support brain and heart health says Sciencedirect.

3. Papaya: Gentle on the Gut

Papaya’s enzyme papain helps break down proteins and ease bloating says Arabian Journal of Chemistry. It’s rich in vitamins A and C for skin and immune support. Cube it for fruit salads or spoon it straight from the shell.

4. Kiwi: Small Fruit, Big Benefits

Kiwi’s actinidin aids digestion while fiber promotes regularity. One fruit covers a big chunk of daily vitamin C needs.…

Published on Leave a comment on Experts Warn Against Combining Certain Natural Supplements – We Need To Practice Discretion

By Mie Hermansen – MSN

You try to take care of yourself. You choose products that sound gentle, plant-based and familiar, trusting that they will support your body rather than stress it.

For many people, supplements feel like a safe shortcut to better sleep, calmer moods or more balance in everyday life.

But wellness choices are rarely as simple as they look. Some habits that seem harmless on the surface can quietly create problems, especially when different products are combined without much thought.

What matters is not just what you take, but how those choices interact once they are inside your system.

When Natural Isn’t Neutral

Health researchers and clinicians point out that supplements are not regulated like prescription drugs.

Their strength can differ from brand to brand, and their interactions are not always obvious to consumers.

When multiple products influence the brain, hormones or liver at the same time, their effects can overlap.

This may lead to excessive tiredness, slower reaction times or mental fog, even in people who otherwise feel healthy.

Because these changes often build gradually, many people never connect them to their supplement routine.

The Combination Experts Flag

Among commonly used products, the pairing of Melatonin and St.…

By Janet Vargas - Independent Natural Health Researcher 30+ Yrs

"Good for Cancer" Are You Kidding Me? We Should All Know the True Facts
About This Dodgy and Dangerous Food Additive!

As the Adage says "Don't believe Everything You Hear" we should Heed that Caution Well, when it comes to reading about Emulsifiers especially. The Food Industry's biggest Ploys for making our Groceries Toxic is they used "Something Natural"...... but just like Big Pharma, it's what they do with that which makes it Toxic. Then they argue that they've "Only just used a little" as if it's not worth worrying about.

But Often, Our Body Tells A Different Story.
Some Area of Our Health plays up with Uncomfortable or Distressing Symptoms. And also, there is the Accumulation Factor that very few people are Not aware of whereby often a certain Offending Substance keeps Building Up in Our System, and sometime later a Serious Health Disorder threatens our somewhat peaceful Life or Adds to our Stress Load - Uninvited. Such has been the case for many people who have had regular Exposure to this so-called "Safe Emulsifier" another Hidden Culprit in the Food Chain.…

Published on Leave a comment on Principles and Secrets to Nutritious Dieting for Weightloss – Avoid Keto and Other Unbalanced Diets – Please Read!

By Janet Vargas - Independent Natural Health Researcher 30+ Yrs

All we seem to hear about these days is "Keto, Keto, Keto" when it comes to Dieting. Right? Honestly, they have taken Western Countries by storm. Every time you walk into a Bookstore you see a number of Keto Fad Books there.......there's heaps of them on the Internet.........YouTube is inundated with Keto Videos and sad to say, there's even a number of Health Advocates Promoting that Craze. You would think it would have died out by now. Hey? But No, they Continue the Madness of that Alarming Unbalanced Diet which is comprised of EXCESS PROTEIN and a Sickening Amount of FAT.

They even make what you call "FAT BOMBS" to have Everyday! Those Recipes consist of about 90% Fat - mostly Saturates in the form of an Energy Ball.
It's Amazing How Much PROTEIN and FAT that Diet Promotes OVER Healthy Fruits and Veggies - they have strictly few Veggies in very small amounts and No Fruits or Healthy Complex Wholegrains and Legumes like the Low Glycemic Diet Diabetics have and are found in the Healthy Mediterranean Diet that have been practiced for Decades and have Benefited so many people.…

Published on Leave a comment on ‘Natural Flavour’ What Is It Really? I Will Tell You About Their ‘Dirty Little Secret’……Do Read

By Janet Vargas - Independent Natural Health Researcher 30+ Yrs

The FDA lets them use up to 100 Chemicals in their 'Natural Flavour' formulas to Imitate natural tastes in many Food Products, to Catch Us Out if we are Unsuspecting OR Very Careful, when shopping.

Alarming Or Incredible As This Seems:
To call them Natural, they only have to use 1 or 2 Natural Ingredients in those Chemical Formulas. Daaah!

So just like me, now you Know. I found this out months ago. So even as a Researcher, I was ignorant of this when Other Ingredients looked OK!

NATURAL FLAVOR is the One Ingredient I didn't think to Check Out.

As some people are aware, the FDA is Corrupt. That's why they get away with these Cheats Tricks.  If you don't believe me, this Audio of a Smart history Video on YouTube will Set things Straight on How and by whom the FDA Started, and you will Find Out why people Ask Questions to this Day like "How-come the FDA allows This and That to be used in Food Products?"  I abhorred History Lessons at school however this Audio is far from boring.…

Published on 2 Comments on Why Do Some Health Advocates Promote Keto? So Baffling – It’s Not A Good Idea!

YES, YOU READ THAT RIGHT - IT'S ACTUALLY A DUMB IDEA, AND PROVEN TO BE SO RISKY FOR MANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE REGRETS. FIRSTLY BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE, JUST LIKE THE CARNIVORE DIET, INVENTERS OF THOSE HAVE SO MESSED AROUND WITH THE BASIC DIETARY REQUIREMENTS FOR EVERYONE'S FOOD INTAKE, WHICH IS A BALANCE OF HEALTHY PROTEINS, HEALTHY FATS and HEALTHY COMPLEX CARBS (not cheap nasty refined carbs and junk foods) KETO and CARNAVORE GO TO EXTREMES TO CORRECT POOR FOOD CHOICES and EATING HABITS, BUT AT THE SAME TIME VIOLATE OUR NEED FOR A BALANCED DIET - OUR BODY FUNCTIONS BEST ON (A SENSIBLE REAL FOOD DIET. SO INSTEAD OF DEFENDING OR PROMOTING KETO LIKE SOME ADVOCATES DO (which is baffling indeed and defies commonsense) I WILL GIVE YOU REASONS TO QUESTION AGUMENTS FOR KETO (Keto Keto, Keto Keto Brainwashing) Daaah! How do they get it so Wrong? IT'S BEYOND ME!!!!

Please be sparing with hard Cheeses like Tasty, Cheddar and Vintage Etc when you wish to Take Off Weight though because what Fattens Cows to "Make More Milk" often, can make You Fat too or Keep the Weight on.

Seriously - Forget Dodgy Keto!…

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.…

ADEQUATE SLEEP IS VITAL

Yes, Sleep Strengthens the Immune System by promoting the production of cytokines and other immune cells, enhancing T-cell and Natural Killer (NK) cell function, and improving the body's ability to fight off pathogens. Consistent sleep helps the immune system create a "memory" of pathogens, leading to a faster and more effective response during future exposures. Conversely, Sleep Deprivation Weakens the Immune System and is linked to Increased Inflammation and a Higher Risk of Illness. …
