Published on 2 Comments on What/Who Is Your Source Of Nutritional Advice? Dietitians and Nutritionists are Backdated – The Education Is Corrupt!!!

By Janet Vargas - Independent Natural Health Researcher 30+ Yrs

I will say this straight off the bat for You: Manufacturer Culprits Lobbied Years ago to have the Medical and Government Education on Nutrition Changed for the sake of their GREED - Mega Profits and Pure Greed!

As most of us know, "Money Rules in this World" let this not reach YOUR HOME.

Vegetable Oils AND Canola Oil are extremely Unhealthy for us.
They both go through a Very Toxic kind of Manufacture.
These Manufacturers are Criminals!!!

And by the way: Sunflower is NOT Vegetables! Neither is Safflower, Soy Oil; Corn Oil; Rice Bran Oil OR Grape Seed Oil. They call them that to make them sound "Healthy".......... it's a Psychological Marketing PLOY that carries No Truth. None whatsoever!!!

Some of you would like to know that 2-3 Years ago, I found an Article from a truly Wise Dietitian who made a Statement about her Profession openly for the Public to read. She said "Dietitians keep Changing their minds about different Foods, giving conflicting advice to People on what's good and what's bad for you and this is causing much Confusion for a lot of People" .............…

Published on Leave a comment on Polymers and Acrylates in Skin Care Products and Cosmetics – Be CAREFUL – Janet Protects You!

By Janet Vargas - Independent Natural Health Researcher 30+ Years

MORE to Watch Out for Folks! Some of these Polymers have been around for years. They have been used in Skin Care and Cosmetics and NOW there are New Derivatives of those Chemicals entering the Market.

The concern about these Chemicals is, they are very TOXIC and have been found to Cause Cancer.

As surely as we have learned about Manufacturer’s serious Lack of Ethics, instead of the Industry cutting out the use of these Chemicals, they USE Them all the More. And as we are so accustomed to, our Governments are more concerned with Raising High Revenue from the Massive Profits/Taxes of this highly Lucrative Industry than they are about our Health and Welfare.

There’s so much we hear about “in the name of Truth” these days, and there is what Natural Health Researchers who really Care about your Health call an
“Information War” going on.

And of-course, this is not funny because it means that YOU a Member of the Public AND Consumer are caught in the middle of this War between TRUE Information and FALSE Information.…

Published on 1 Comment on How Simply Humming Can Reactivate A Crucial Part Of Your Nervous System

While it may not be a miracle cure, recent studies have suggested that simply humming can completely rewire your nervous system by activating the Vagus Nerve, the same nerve often targeted by many different meditation practices

Humming to a song you love is a universally shared joy. Did you know that there’s a scientifically backed reason why humming makes you feel better. Research suggests that three key receptors are at play when you start humming, mainly due to the effect it has on a nerve called the vagus nerve in your internal system.

Generally, the vagus nerve is responsible for regulating your body’s stress response, by lowering your heart rate, improving digestion and promoting feelings of calm. Since chronic stress can dampen the vagus nerve’s ability to do perform this task, we often feel on edge and unable to cope in stressful situations.

One of the ways humming counteracts this is by increasing the amount of nitric oxide being produced in your nasal passages, which acts as a gas transmitter that improves blood flow in your body. As a result, it can lower your blood pressure while sterilizing the air you’re inhaling.…

What an Absolute RIP-OFF and you’re taking them home, one after the other, Friends? And half the time, it’s because you weren’t brought up with OATS wonderful Oats OR your Kids have been Targeted by the Cunning guise of those Shrewd Manufacturers. Yes, they deliberately target your Kids with those endless Ads (so many rounds a day/evening) because they Know they will “Nag You” until they get what they want!

Don’t these Cereals cost a fortune Now? And there’s all manner of Packets for the Grown Ups to be irresistibly drawn to as well – specialty lines with “Nut Clusters” in them, and all the rest of it:)

Published on 2 Comments on Ways to Fight Sugar Cravings AND Tips To Win Some Victories Over Weight Gain

WHY DO WE CRAVE SUGAR?
There are many reasons why we go for sweet things.

That appetite may be hardwired. "Sweet is the first taste humans prefer from birth," says Christine Gerbstadt, MD. Carbohydrates stimulate the release of the feel-good brain chemical serotonin. Sugar is a carbohydrate, but carbohydrates come in other forms, too, such as whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, which have fiber and nutrients your body needs.

The taste of sugar also releases endorphins that calm and relax us, and offer a natural "high," says Susan Moores, a registered dietitian and nutrition consultant in St. Paul, MN.

Sweets just taste good, too. And that preference gets reinforced when you reward yourself with sweet treats, which can make you crave it even more.

How to Stop Sugar Cravings: Tips to Use Right Now
If you're craving sugar, here are some ways to tame those cravings.

Reach for fruit. Keep fruit handy for when sugar cravings hit. You'll get fiber and nutrients along with some sweetness. And stock up on foods like nuts, seeds, and dried fruits, says certified addiction specialist Judy Chambers. "Have them handy so you reach for them instead of reaching for the old [sugary] something."…

From Independent

"Best Solution Is To Simply Not Use These Products" Scientists Say

People routinely using hair care products may be inhaling dangerous levels of chemicals potentially harmful to their health, an alarming new study warns.

The new research, published in the journal Environmental Science & Technology, found that several Chemicals commonly emitted by hair care products linger in the air much longer after use.

Researchers, including those from Purdue University in the US, say a person can inhale up to 17 mg of potentially harmful chemicals in a single hair care session in their home.

“We found the results to be extremely alarming. We did not expect to see such significant emissions of volatile chemical mixtures from off-the-shelf hair care products during typical hair care routines,” study co-author Nusrat Jung said.

One of the chemicals decamethylcyclopentasiloxane (that's 28 letters) or D5 siloxane – commonly found in many personal care products – “has been found to lead to adverse effects on the respiratory tract, liver and nervous system of laboratory animals,” scientists warn.

“The use of the chemical in wash-off cosmetic products has already been restricted in the European Union because of this,” Dr Jung said

“Many of these products are Scented, too, and some of the Chemicals used to make these Fragrances are potentially dangerous to inhale as well,” she added.…

Published on Leave a comment on Drinking This Juice Could Help Promote Healthy Aging, Scientists Find

The results, published in Redox Biology, showed higher levels of bacteria associated with good vascular and cognitive health, and lower levels of bacteria linked to disease and inflammation.

Systolic blood pressure dropped on average by five points (mmHg) after drinking the beetroot juice.

Anti-Aging Beet Juice - Good for Our Liver- Add Some Apple and Celery

“We are really excited about these findings, which have important implications for healthy ageing,” said lead author Professor Anni Vanhatalo, of the University of Exeter.

“Previous studies have compared the oral bacteria of young and older people, and healthy people compared to those with diseases, but ours is the first to test nitrate-rich diet in this way.

“Our findings suggest that adding nitrate-rich foods to the diet—in this case via beetroot juice—for just ten days can substantially alter the oral microbiome (mix of bacteria) for the better.

“Maintaining this healthy oral microbiome in the long term might slow down the negative vascular and cognitive changes associated with ageing.”

“Our participants were healthy, active older people with generally good blood pressure,” Professor Vanhatalo stressed. “Dietary nitrate reduced their blood pressure on average, and we are keen to find out whether the same would happen in other age groups and among people in poorer health.…

Published on 2 Comments on 12 Foods That Benefit Your Brain – See Which Ones You Would Like To Try. Hey?

Our Health is as Good as the Food we Eat. And so is Our Brain. Did you know that Mental Health Disorders mostly start from long-standing Nutritional Deficiencies and also Poor Gut Health because our Neurotransmitters are present in our Gut - not just our Brain - so Both our Gut and our Brain Relate Closely together. A It is the Same with Brain Power. Everyone talks about Brainpower, but you don't just stay on whatever Foods you have and take a "Brain Power" Supplement each day. You need to build up a Nutritional Profile of Brain Friendly Foods; stay off of Sugar AND Synthetic Sweeteners that are Bad for your Body and Brain. So are Canola and Cheap Nasty Veggie Oils - they mess with your Metabolism causing Lethargy and Brain Fog in many people, and are noted for Mental Blanks (even with young people) because they are Toxic to Body and Brain Cells. Aim for Genuine Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Cold Pressed Coconut Oil. They're both beneficial for our Brain. Polyunsaturated Oils are based on Flawed Science and the ignorance prevails. Don't let that be You.

Our Body and our Brain also benefit much from 7-8 Hours of restful Sleep a Night AND 120 Minutes of Walking (collectively) each Week.…

Published on Leave a comment on “Nutrition Experts” OR Puppets ON Strings? Who Are YOU Trusting In?

By Janet Vargas - Independent Natural Health Researcher 30+ Yrs

Do you believe Everything you Hear and Read? As a Researcher, I don't - there is so much Ignorance and Flawed Medical Science out there. Deliberate attempts of the Food Industry to give Misleading Guidelines and Advice to the Public. Even to Practitioners. They do this for Their Advantage - Not Your Health!

We have Dedicated Whistle Blowers to Thank for Some Knowledge which has gone Public for sometime now. Highly skilled Workers from their Science Lab Departments etc. They left those Companies out of Conscience because much of what they had to do for those Giant Food Companies really Offended them. That is, Harming People's Health to Earn a Living. They just could not do it anymore! Can you blame them?

The Misleading Advice Friends, is a Classic for INVESTED INTERESTS if ever there was one! So Truth of the matter is, Who are You Trusting In for Nutritional Advice? And what's the Real Source of Their Advice? YES! It's a Corrupt Industry - these Food Giants - who have Infiltrated Official Government Bodies and certain Medical Laws in Relation to Nutrition, and have Saturated the Market Place with All Manner of UNHEALTHY FOODS with "Healthy" CLAIMS…….…

Published on Leave a comment on Adding Color To Your Plate May Lower Risk Of Cognitive Decline

Natural Health Article from Science Daily

A new study shows that people who eat a diet that includes at least half a serving per day of foods high in flavonoids like strawberries, oranges, peppers and apples may have a 20% lower risk of cognitive decline. The research is published in the July 28, 2021, online issue of Neurology the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology. The study looked at several types of flavonoids, and found that flavones and anthocyanins may have the most protective effect.

Flavonoids are naturally occurring compounds found in plants and are considered powerful antioxidants. It is thought that having too few antioxidants may play a role in cognitive decline as you age.

"There is mounting evidence suggesting flavonoids are powerhouses when it comes to preventing your thinking skills from declining as you get older," said study author Walter Willett, MD, DrPH, of Harvard University in Boston, Mass. "Our results are exciting because they show that making simple changes to your diet could help prevent cognitive decline."
