Health Benefits of Oatmeal—Explained by a Nutritionist
Plus, healthy ways to incorporate it into your diet.

By Cynthia Sass, MPH, RD 2022

Oatmeal Is Nutrient-Rich

Oats are also bundled with a variety of vitamins and minerals, including iron, magnesium, zinc, selenium, B vitamins, and smaller amounts of calcium and potassium. That's an impressive vitamin and mineral package for a relatively low-calorie food. This all makes oatmeal a nutrient-dense ingredient.

Oatmeal Provides Antioxidants
Polyphenol antioxidants found in oats possess antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. At the cellular level, polyphenols have been shown to help fend off aging and disease by reducing oxidative stress. (Basically, oxidative stress is an imbalance between the production of cell-damaging free radicals and the body's ability to counter their unwanted effects.

Furthermore, due to their bodyguard-like effects, polyphenols have been linked to protection against heart disease and stroke, as well as type 2 diabetes and obesity.

Oatmeal Supports Better Nutrition
If you've avoided oatmeal due to its carb content, you may be delighted to know that this healthy starch actually supports weight management. A study demonstrated that regular oatmeal consumers score higher on the USDA's Healthy Eating Index, which is a measure of overall diet quality.…

Published on Leave a comment on Immunity-Boosting Foods That Help Fight Infections Naturally

These are the foods your body really needs to stay healthy.

By Cynthia Sass, MPH, RD | 2023

One of the most important ways to stay healthy is to adopt habits that strengthen immunity. Getting enough sleep, managing stress, being active, washing your hands properly, and eating well all support your immune system.

While no food or supplement can “cure” or even 100% prevent you from catching a virus, like SARS-CoV-2, which causes COVID-19, or the flu, some foods help bolster immunity.

Here are some immune-strengthening foods and how to incorporate them into your regular meals and snacks.

Citrus Fruits and Red Bell Peppers
Vitamin C, the superstar nutrient in citrus, is famous for supporting the immune system. While vitamin C can't prevent illness, it can shorten the length of a common cold. Vitamin C is necessary for your diet because your body doesn't naturally make the nutrient.

Vitamin C supports your immune system in the following ways:

Protecting your DNA and your body's proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates from damage
Making certain enzymes in your body work
Getting infection-fighting cells to the infection site
Getting rid of cells that are done clearing an infection
You need to consume 100–200 milligrams daily to maintain a healthy level of vitamin C and reduce your risk of illnesses.1

One medium orange provides 70 milligrams, a medium grapefruit contains almost 80 milligrams, and a half cup of raw red bell pepper packs 95 milligrams.…

Published on Leave a comment on Why Salt Is Really Bad For You AND Its Really GOOD For You Too – How To Know The Difference!

How is it that we hear so much BAD and GOOD about SALT in our Diet folks? Because we are talking about Two Different Kinds of Salt - completely different - the Unhealthy and the Healthy; the Synthetic and the Natural; the Chemical and Not Chemical. Medicos are absolutely right in telling us to AVOID Common Commercial Table and Cooking Salt but not to Avoid ALL Salt like the plague. Because one is Corrupted and the other is Genuine, provided by NATURE. And hence, it has so many Benefits.

The Hidden Dangers Of Common Commercial Table Salt!

For clarity, we shall look into these things in detail, and you will see what I mean. How good would that be? Because you don't want to be missing out on the many-fold Benefits. TRUE Uncontaminated Salt is VITAL for our Health and our health can actually be compromised without it, whereby we are not functioning at our best. True Knowledge is Power, so let's not throw the baby out with the bath water hey? You will see the distinction between the two. I will address the Bad one first, then the Healthy one.…

Published on Leave a comment on Still In Love With SOY? Amazing How Aussies Take After America’s Mistakes!

Now everything's Soy. Soy in loaves of Bread and Bakery items, Soy in Snitzels and Burgers, Ice-Cream and Chocolates, Protein Powders and Diet Shakes, lots of Processed Foods in packets and cans. We can't seem to keep away from this stuff! And that's because we are not Standing Up To Them! It has been touted as a Health Food decades ago, much of the so-called research on it's merits have been prejudice and flawed, by that Industry, and there are even Scientists and Nutritionists who have sold their Name and Reputation on the likes of these beans because they succumb to the Bribes of Big Pay Manufacturers who insist on using it. Please read the True Facts from TRUE Researchers and Professionals, what they have established.

Soybesity: Soy and Weight Gain

By Dr Kaayla Daniel from Weston Price Foundation 2014

As Americans get fatter and fatter, that’s an important question. Not surprisingly, the soy industry has been stepping up its efforts to promote soy as the ticket to weight loss. In school cafeterias soy is presented as the “healthy” meat and dairy alternative that can prevent childhood obesity. In health food stores and supermarkets, it’s promoted as a “miracle food” that can prevent heart disease, cancer, bone loss, menopausal symptoms and weight gain.…

Published on Leave a comment on Your Water Bottle Could be Hurting Your Immune System. New Info!

Plastic water bottles not only consume petrochemicals and pollute the ocean, but they may contain a dangerous chemical that has multiple harmful effects on your health. Now more than ever, it’s important to ensure your Immune System is at
its best. Read on to discover the truth about your plastic water bottle and how to protect your health.

Your water bottle could be leaching dangerous BPA

BPA stands for bisphenol A. BPA is an industrial chemical that has been used to make certain plastics and resins since the 1960s. BPA is found in polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins, which are often used in containers that store food and beverages, such as water bottles. They may also be used in other consumer goods.

Epoxy resins are used to coat the inside of metal products, such as food cans, bottle tops, and water supply lines. Some dental sealants and composites also may contain BPA. It is also found in hospitals: certain pieces of medical equipment, such as PVC plastic tubes, contain BPA to make it less brittle, and many premature babies are exposed to it while they are in intensive care nurseries.…

Why You Should Be Worried About The Chemicals In Your Soda
By Riley Cardoza

It's hard, we know, and the addictive properties of the Caffeine in every can certainly don't make giving up soda any easier. But hear us out. Doubling up on soft drinks every week means doubling your risk of pancreatic cancer, according to a study in the American Association for Cancer Research's journal. Drinking a standard can of cola is like pouring 39 grams of sugar straight down your throat, and there's nothing sweet about what it'll do to your waistline. Even if you go for the sugar-free options, a recent study in the journal Stroke found that artificially-sweetened drinks lead to increased risk of strokes and dementia.…

Published on Leave a comment on Why The Controversy Over Canola And Veggie Oils? Do You Still Believe In Them?

THERE IS AN INFORMATION-WAR GOING ON BECAUSE THE TRUTH IS OUT AND THOSE UNSCRUPULOUS MANUFACTURERS ARE "DIGGING THEIR HEELS IN" AND REFUSE TO COME CLEAN.

Don't Opt For Price - Opt For Health. Lets Be Smart!

WHY? BECAUSE OF "MONEY, MONEY!" THESE OILS ARE DIRT CHEAP TO MAKE AND THEY RAKE IN THE PROFITS WHILE SO MANY PEOPLE BLINDLY TRUST IN THE PREFABRICATED LIES CRISCO SOLD US IN THE 1950s. IF YOU WILL JUST ALLOW YOURSELF THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT, I WILL SHOW YOU WHY WE SHOULD HAVE A DISTASTE FOR SUCH LIES AND BECOME SMARTER - THEY ARE COUNTING ON OUR IGNORANCE AND "Ignorance Isn't Bliss" WHEN IT COMES TO MEMORY LOSS, WEIGHT GAIN, CANCER, ALZHEIMERS AND OTHER SERIOUS HEALTH DISORDERS.

Medical Practitioners get an awful lot of misleading brain washing from Big Pharma about 'Cholesterol' and so do we over Media. It's deliberate Misinformation because Cholesterol plays an important roll in Protecting our Nerve Cells and Brain Cells - even our Heart. So the reverse to what they tell us is True. We've been sold on a Lie! And it's time to correct that.

Beware of Greedy Manufacturers profiteering from selling you FAKE FOODS.…

Published on Leave a comment on Palmolive Naturals Personal Care Products – A Community Concern!

AS IF WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH MISLEADING CHEMICAL PRODUCTS OUT THERE WHEN SHOPPING, PALMOLIVE HAS INTRODUCED A WHOLE RANGE OF SO-CALLED NATURAL PRODUCTS ONTO THE MARKET WITH A 'NATURALS' NAME TAG, AFTER INNOCENT MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC and HEALTH CONSCIOUS PEOPLE. THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS! AND IF YOU ARE REALLY HEALTH-SAVVY, YOU WILL KNOW THE LURKS AND SPOT THE DIFFERENCE. AS THE ADAGE SAYS: BUYER BEWARE! WHY? BECAUSE BIG COMPANIES LIKE PALMOLIVE DON'T DITCH THEIR CHEMICALS EASY. THEY DON'T DITCH THEM AT ALL. WITH YEARS OF INDEPENDENT NATURAL HEALTH RESEARCH, I OFTEN INFORM PEOPLE: WHEN A COMPANY SAYS "NO THIS, NO THAT" ON THE LABEL, MOST TIMES, THERE ARE OTHER SNEAKY ADDITIVES/CHEMICALS USED. SO THEY MAKE THEIR BEST EFFORTS TO GIVE IMPRESSIVE MISLEADING INFO ON THE LABEL, LEAFLETS and WEBSITE ABOUT THEIR PRODUCTS TO ENTICE YOU INTO MORE CHEMICAL BUYS - THINKING THEY'RE NATURAL.

IF OUR GOVERNMENT WERE TRULY RESPONSIBLE, THEY WOULD PUT A STOP TO THIS. IT'S IN THE INTEREST OF OUR HEALTH AND WELL-BEING. WE PAY THEM TAXES TO SERVE US WELL and ADEQUATE PROTECTION SHOULD BE PROVIDED. THEY HAVE MADE A LAW FOR MISLEADING INFORMATION (on products) WHICH THEY DON'T ENFORCE ANYWHERE NEAR ENOUGH.…

Published on Leave a comment on When Selecting Commercial So-Called Natural Personal Care Products

IT'S GETTING A BIT MUCH, ISN'T IT? UNSCRUPULOUS MANUFACTURERS STOP AT VIRTUALLY NOTHING, TO COMPETE WITH GENUINE NATURAL CARE PRODUCTS WHEN IT COMES TO PERSONAL SKINCARE PRODUCTS, HAIRCARE PRODUCTS, DEODORANT, HANDWASH AND BODYWASH. IT'S CRIMINAL - REALLY REPREHENSIBLE, I KNOW, AND SINCE WE DON'T HAVE MUCH OF A CHOICE - IN TAKING CARE MEASURES - BECAUSE LIKE THE FDA IN THE USA, OUR GOVERNMENT DOESN'T PUT A STOP TO THIS OUTRAGE EITHER. I WISH TO HELP YOU MAKE SMART DECISIONS WHEN PURCHASING PERSONAL CARE PRODUCTS. PLEASE DON'T BE TOO TRUSTING WHEN IT COMES TO COMMERCIAL MAKES - THEY HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO CONSCIENCE. I HAVE FOUND A COMPLETE GUIDE FOR YOU, AND RECOMMEND THAT YOU FAVOR COMPANIES IN YOUR PURCHASES THAT ARE DEDICATED TO MAKING GENUINE NATURAL PERSONAL CARE PRODUCTS AND EXPOSE INGREDIENTS THAT ARE TOXIC TO OUR HEALTH BECAUSE IT IS NOW PROVEN THAT INGREDIENTS WE PLACE ON OUR SKIN ARE ABSORBED INTO OUR BODY. THIS IS CALLED TRANSDERMAL, AND IS AS SERIOUS AS TOXIC INGREDIENTS WE INGEST - THERE ARE OFTEN MORE SERIOUS IMPLICATIONS.

Published on Leave a comment on What Happens To Your Insides When You Ingest Artificial Chemicals In Food?

FOOD MANUFACTURERS HAVE ALL MANNER OF EXCUSES WHY THEY USE CHEMICALS IN THEIR PRODUCTS, AND SNEAKY COVER-UPS FOR THINGS THAT ARE DAMAGING TO OUR HEALTH OVER TIME (accumulative) AND SOMETIMES SURPRISINGLY SHORT. I WILL MENTION A VALUABLE WEAPON HERE: THEY RELY ON OUR IGNORANCE FOR SALES and MORE SALES. WHEN WE ARE NO LONGER IGNORANT, THAT GIVES YOU PROTECTION FROM LOTS OF VISITS TO A LOCAL MEDICAL CENTRE. LETS STAND UP TO THIS KIND OF THING IN OUR HOUSE and INFORM THOSE WE CARE ABOUT. YOU CAN MAYBE SEND THEM HERE. I DO NOT LIKE PEOPLE GETTING NASTY LITTLE SURPRISES FROM THEIR GPs THEY HAVE 'THIS OR THAT' WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED OFTEN. AND KIDS SHOULD BE ABLE TO LIVE THEIR EARLY YEARS IN GOOD HEALTH, YES?
