Published on Leave a comment on Diet: The Most Overlooked Cause Of Poor Quality Sleep. Do You Want To Sleep Better?

Forget Sleeping Pills—This Natural Fix Is in Your Kitchen

By Mie Hermansen

From melatonin sprays to meditation apps, we’ve tried everything to sleep better. But researchers now say one of the most powerful tools for better rest is already in your fridge. Here’s how diet may be the secret to a deeper night’s sleep.

More Fruits and Veggies, Better Sleep

Participants who consumed more plant-based foods during the day experienced noticeably more restful and uninterrupted sleep that same night.

Sleep Benefits Showed Up After Just One Day

The improvements didn’t take weeks to appear—researchers observed positive sleep changes within the first 24 hours of eating more fruits and vegetables.

Less Tossing and Turning

Those with higher fruit and vegetable intake experienced fewer sleep disruptions, meaning they were less likely to wake up or shift out of deep sleep during the night.

Just Five Servings Made a Measurable Difference

Researchers estimated that meeting the CDC’s daily recommendation of five servings could improve sleep quality by as much as 16 percent.

Whole Grains Help Too

Alongside produce, participants who consumed healthy carbs like whole grains also reported better sleep, likely due to improved regulation of blood sugar and hormones.…

I INTEND TO HAVE INFO FROM OTHER AUTHORS HERE

Endocrine disruptors like PFAS, BPA, and Phthalates lurk in everything
from Cleaning Products to Dust Bunnies.

Recent June 2025 Article

You may remember learning in Biology Class that our bodies are run by a Network of Hormones and Glands that regulate everything we do. Most often, we think about this system—our Endocrine System—in the context of Puberty, but it actually plays a starring role in All phases of Development, Metabolism and Behavior.

Here’s the bad news: Synthetic Chemicals in products like Plastics and Fragrances can Mimic Hormones and interfere with or disrupt the Delicate Endocrine Dance. We’re exposed to these chemicals daily, and we’re especially vulnerable to them during phases of accelerated development—including throughout Childhood or a Pregnancy. Fetuses are also particularly at risk. Some of the impacts on our Metabolism and Immune, Nervous, and Reproductive Systems can have long-term and even lifetime adverse health effects, such as Learning Disabilities, Obesity, Diabetes, Reproductive Problems (including infertility), and Cancer. 

“We have very tight developmental windows of when, say, our Brain and Reproductive Organs are formed,” explains NRDC Senior Scientist Dr.…

Published on Leave a comment on New Neuroscience Research Reveals Brain Antioxidant Deficit In Depression

By Eric W. Dolan - PsyPost

A new meta-analysis published in the journal Psychopharmacology has found that individuals diagnosed with major depressive disorder tend to have Lower Levels of Glutathione in a specific area of the brain known as the occipital cortex. The findings add to growing evidence linking Depression to Oxidative Stress and suggest that Drain Antioxidants could play a role in understanding or potentially treating the disorder.

Major Depressive Disorder is a widespread mental health condition affecting hundreds of millions of people globally. It is associated with a wide range of symptoms, including persistent sadness, fatigue, loss of interest in previously enjoyable activities, and impaired cognitive and physical functioning.

Scientists have long investigated possible biological contributors to depression, including changes in neurotransmitter systems and immune activity. One area of increasing interest is the role of oxidative stress, which occurs when the body’s production of reactive molecules outpaces its antioxidant defenses.

Glutathione is the most abundant antioxidant found in the brain. It plays a central role in protecting brain cells from oxidative damage by neutralizing harmful molecules known as free radicals. When the balance between oxidative molecules and antioxidants is disrupted, cells can become damaged, potentially leading to or worsening a variety of diseases—including neuropsychiatric conditions like depression.…

Janet Vargas - Independent Natural Health Researcher 30+ Years

Hi Friends, because I have been engaged in Natural Health Research for 30+ Years Independent and there is Considerable Interest in the Health Categories and Posts in my Blog here on Ours Australia, I have decided to start a few Pages at the top of your Screen called Website Recommendations to direct you to some Good Reading by Noteworthy Professionals and Natural Health Advocates who are a Lot More Interested in Our Health and Our Children's than most Medical Practitioners are these days with their "Hypocritical Oath" (Pun Intended) because Greedy Big Pharma runs the Medical Profession and Incentivises their Practitioners quite heavily.

So you should all know that it is Not a Health Profession actually, it is a Sickness Industry. They Profit far more if you are not well. Sorry to inform you but many People I meet in Shopping Centres when out and about (I like to have micro-conversations with) are becoming pretty aware of that since the Pandemic.

Some also suspect the Medical Industry and Food Industry are Closely Affiliated and to answer their Question (and yours maybe) that is absolutely True.…

Published on 2 Comments on Keto Diet: Not So Brilliant As Is Claimed – Definite Cautions Here

"KETO KETO KETO KETO, KETO KETO KETO KETO............" That's ALL you Hear and See on the Internet! And Stacks of Recipe Websites and Lots of Books on Bookshelves. It's like a 2nd Round of the Atkins Diet. And is it Good? Is it Really Good? How Good Is it? Honestly, as a Researcher, I'm bombarded with it - do you know what I mean? Does that sound familiar? NO it's Not really Good!

Excess Fat Diets like Atkins; Excess Protein Diets like Carnivore: Excess Fat and Protein Diet - the Keto Diet; Excess Plant Diet like Vegan and Raw Food Diet and Fruitarian with Lack of Protein, a High Carb/High Fibre Diet............ARE NOT GOOD. "Why?" Because each one of those is Out of Balance. They Create Deficiencies in a LOT of People, and Serious Health Issues often.

Published on Leave a comment on Ultra-Processed Foods: The Heat Is On – Give Them Pressure – Give Them Curry – Don’t Stop!

By Janet Vargas - Independent Natural Health Researcher 30+ Years

Recently in the last 2 Months, there has been a surge of Articles on Google News on my Mobile concerning ULTRA-PROSESSED FOODS, the way they're Made and the Damage they make to OUR HEALTH. It's Outrageous, the way they get away with that. So much for "Crime Stoppers" you could say.

So I've decided to write about this, having been very Aware and Concerned how many People fill their shopping carts with so much of that Stuff to Feed their Families with. As a Researcher, knowing the full implications of ingesting these Fake and Synthetic Foods on a Regular Basis is detrimental at some time along the way - our Body protests about the way we are treating it - it sometimes does this through disturbing or distressing symptoms and Many People get VERY ILL.

All this is Imposed on the Innocent Public in the form of Tasty, Addictive, Convenient Products. People buy into these Marketing Ploys and before they know it, they're buying More and More of these Items and they become the NORM in their house. The Manufacturers are without doubt delighted about all the Extra Sales AND I intend to see they get a LOT LESS.…

5 Reasons To Rub Magnesium Oil On Your Feet

Using magnesium oil on your feet can help your body with a lot of things. Applying it transdermally through a foot massage helps get the necessary dosage effortlessly, supporting overall well-being.

A nightly ritual involving rubbing magnesium oil on your feet is gaining attention due to its potential health benefits. This article explores the significance of magnesium and the benefits it offers. Magnesium is essential for over 300 biochemical reactions in the body, yet research indicates that up to 75 percent of people might not be getting enough.

The recommended daily intake of magnesium is between
310 to 320 milligrams for women and 400 to 420 for men.

Many have found transdermal application, which involves applying magnesium directly to the skin, to be an effective method. One such practice involves spraying magnesium oil, a sea salt spray, on the feet and rubbing it in. This method might cause a tingling sensation initially and can either be left on the skin overnight or washed off after 20 to 30 minutes.

The primary benefits of using magnesium oil include:
