By Nina Kraus From ScientificAmerican.Com

The Faculty Of Hearing Sound Is Such A Treasure So Often Unappreciated But Having Immense Worth

A New Technique For Measuring Our Neuronal Response To Sound Is Yielding Both Good news And bad news.

Sounds have a deep impact on our emotions and offer a wide spectrum of influences, as they can be loud, soft, interesting, annoying, important, distracting, soothing, infuriating.

Like electricity, gravity and air, sound is a powerful force. Yet, because it is invisible, we often remain largely unaware of the powerful influence sound has on our lives. Still, we have tools to protect and maximize its power.

A recent Centers for Disease Control study analyzing causes of noise-induced hearing loss, along with other recent studies about noise pollution due to environmental projects such as fracking, or the effects of loud city living on developing dementia, expose and remind us of the urgent and ongoing dangers of noise.

But sound is also crucial to our brain development in a positive way. There is ample evidence that playing an instrument has a positive impact on the developing brain. Speaking two languages, another form of sound enrichment, is good for attentional skills and multitasking and may prevent the onset of dementia.…

Published on Leave a comment on WHY Do People On The PALEO DIET Avoid Grains? The REASONS Are A Real DISCOVERY!

Hi Folks, Letting You See This Article I Found On The PaleoLeap.Com Website Today. I Think It Makes A Lot Of Sense. As A Researcher In Natural Health 33 Years (self-funded) I Thought I’d Read Their INFO When Researching Ancient Grains Further For Myself, Due To A Real Interest In Them And This Link Came Up In My Google Search.

To Eat Grains Or Not To Eat Grains -
That Was The Question

In my opinion, the KETO DIET and the PALEO DIET are somewhat Unbalanced And Extreme and Some Of The Alternative Foods Are Quite Expensive. However, Their Reasons For Not Having Grains Is More Revealing Than I Anticipated. I knew It Had To Do With Modern Wheat Etc But Read This:

What Is Wrong With Eating Grains? Paleo View

There are modern misconceptions about the role of genes and how they express are difficult to break. It’s now known that diseases that result from errors in the sequence of a gene are extremely uncommon, with less than 1% of diseases falling into this category. Contrary to what you may believe, Celiac is not one of them. (2)

Disease is not written in our Genetic Code.…

Published on Leave a comment on The Truth About The Nitrates In Your Food – Some Good Facts

By Angela Dowden - BBC

“Nitrites Aren’t All bad. There’s Increasing Evidence They May Provide Cardiovascular And Other Benefits Thanks To A Molecule Called Nitric Oxide" (BBC).  Some Safety Measures You Can Take. One Of These Makes A Lot Of Sense For Dental Hygiene Which Helps To Protect Your Heart As Well, Believe It Or Not. Different Systems In Our Body Are Inter-Related, Not Separate. We Need To See Things From A Whole-Approach, Including Nitrates Which Can Be A Friend Or A Foe. This Article Is Good. Shall We Go?

Usually associated with processed meats, nitrates and nitrites are potentially cancer-causing compounds.

But what are they, really – and are they always detrimental?

“Nitrates” may make you think of school chemistry lessons or fertilisers. They’re probably less likely to be something you’d associate with dinner.

If you do think of nitrates in the context of food, it is probably a negative image that comes to mind – in particular, perhaps, the recent call for nitrate and nitrite preservatives to be banned from bacon and ham because of potential cancer-causing effects.

But the relationship between dietary nitrates/nitrites and health is a lot more nuanced than merely saying “they’re bad for us”. For example, the high natural nitrate content of beetroot juice has been credited with lowering blood pressure and enhancing exercise performance.…

Published on Leave a comment on The Ugly Truth About Big Pharma And FDA

We live in the age of the Information Revolution. With the advent of ever expanding technologies such as the Internet, information is at our fingertips and knowledge is no longer reserved for the privileged few…at least that’s what “they” would like us to believe. Unfortunately, the information we’re fed is largely myth.

Encyclopedia Of Medical Breakthroughs Big Pharma Won't Let You Know About

Not only are we led to believe that conventional medicine is the only surefire way to treat illness, but we are also kept in the dark about revolutionary breakthroughs that have been proven to cure diseases such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes and much, much more! Our health is at risk each and every day that such vital information is withheld.

You may be thinking: “Surely if there were a cure for Alzheimer’s or cancer I would know, right?” Wrong! A few very large corporations are working very hard to make sure their wallets stay well padded and you stay uninformed. Who is this “they” that keeps America and Westerners chronically ill?

—that stands to lose its lucrative monopoly on health care, a monopoly they’ve enjoyed for over a century…a monopoly that brings in nearly one trillion dollars a year!…

Published on Leave a comment on Aromatic Herb Relieves Headaches as Effectively as Over-the-Counter Remedies

Tension headaches, which are characterized by a constant ache or pressure around the head—especially at the temple or back of the head and neck—are the most common type of headache experienced by an enormous percentage of people.

It is estimated that 95% of women and 90% of men have one or more headache episodes per year, and approximately 1 out of every 6 individuals in America experience the discomfort of chronic tension headaches.

Peppermint Oil - The Safer Way To Go With Headaches

Over-the-counter headache medications, such as those containing acetaminophen, are the go-to remedy that the majority of headache sufferers reach for.  Acetaminophen is the most common drug ingredient and most frequently used painkiller in the United States today.  Each week, approximately 23 percent of U.S. adults—or 52 million consumers—use an acetaminophen-containing medicine.

But be forewarned:  Each year, the use of acetaminophen causes 100,000 phone calls to poison control facilities, 56,000 emergency room admissions, 26,000 hospitalizations, and more than 450 fatalities from liver failure alone.  Acetaminophen is a major cause of acute liver failure, even at dosage amounts that are within the recommended levels.

What most people don’t know is that the use of acetaminophen may not be the most effective method for stopping headaches. …

Watch out for Synthetic Sweeteners Masquerading as Natural Sweeteners!

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO KNOW

These Manufacturers Have NO Conscience!

ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS – SWEET NOTHINGS FOR YOUR HEALTH?

Artificial sweeteners have been considered a solution to the problems caused by sugar intake. They lack calories and are advertised as a healthy alternative to high fructose corn syrup and sugar. However, studies have shown that consuming artificial sweeteners might make you gain weight faster than if you were consuming regular sugar. Artificial sweeteners slow your metabolism and ultimately trigger you to eat more. The three main ingredients in artificial sweeteners — aspartame, saccharin, and acesulfate potassium — have all been linked to cancer as well as Alzheimer’s disease, autism, chronic fatigue syndrome, lupus, multiple sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease.

I used to use them too (not me, the writer) thinking they were better when compared to sugar since it’s what I was taught in school when I was studying to be a dietitian. If dietitians use and recommend them, it is no wonder we believe they’re good for us, right? Well, as research repeatedly shows, there may not be any good reasons to support the notion that artificial sweeteners are beneficial to us.…

Take Care with PC and IPad Use

Sometimes Tech-Life can impose Artificial Values in Life when it comes to Lifestyle. Don't find yourself missing out on LIFE.....Hey? TV is noted for that. The Net involves your participation, so the addiction can be even more powerful to the point of crippling.

"WATCH LESS - LIVE MORE'

The use of IPads can be very addictive....sometimes even more than a Computer or Laptop. Misuse or Overuse of one of the above mentioned can end up stressing you or your family out when you find yourself addicted:

You can't stay away from it - you find yourself unable to moderate the use of it.

They interest you more than other things.

You find yourself restless when they are not in use.

You begin to lose interest in other activities.

Previous interests become boring or you loose motivation.

Your way of thinking starts to change because you are used to Tech-Mode.

Published on 2 Comments on When Family Members And Friends Offend By Imposing Their Problems On You Repeatedly…

By Janet Vargas - Owner Of This Website

Especially the same problem "over and over" some people are heavy weights at that and there seems no way of escaping them. Ever felt weighed down like that "time after time" in addition to whatever your concerns may be?

Hi Friends, I’ve experienced a lot of this kind of thing for some years and may be able to help you.

When they keep making poor decisions and are disgruntled with life, we should not have to bear punishment for that when they don’t like the consequences. We really should not, that’s very unfair. If it is a family member at fault for that kind of behaviour, I believe that’s a form of abuse. If it is a friend at fault, that is a form of abuse also that does not know boundaries and they will have to learn better – if they don’t respect your boundaries.

They are boundary violators and should be dealt with accordingly. If they don’t learn their lesson, opt for better friends because that is no friendship – they violate the very principles Friendship is founded on. Friendship must be built on good principles, there aren’t a lot of them but they must be respected to Enjoy any Friendship.…
