Cabbage is highly nutritious and rich in vitamin C, fibre, and vitamin K. Some research suggests that it may have health benefits that include supporting digestion and heart health, among others.

It comes in a variety of shapes and colors, including red, purple, white, and green, and its leaves can be either crinkled or smooth.

This vegetable has been grown around the world for thousands of years and can be found in a variety of dishes, including sauerkraut, kimchi, and coleslaw.

Had to Post it straight away without delay:)

An Article I Spotted On British Vogue!

I’ll never forget hearing Dr Chris van Tulleken – the renowned physician and author of Ultra-Processed People: Why Do We All Eat Stuff That Isn’t Food… And Why Can’t We Stop? – compare a protein bar to meth. Or, rather, he suggested that eating one was akin to the “first hit” of meth. The comparison forms part of his wider campaign to wake both the public and the government up to the dangers of ultra-processed foods, which he describes as “industrially produced edible substances”, products he argues have no place on British shelves.

The lack of regulation and meaningful quality control now endemic in the wellness industry raises an uncomfortable question too: could similar parallels be drawn to magnesium, ashwagandha, omega-3 and countless other supplements we are enthusiastically mainlining in the name of health?…

Published on Leave a comment on Overlooked and Hidden Risks in Maltodextrin and Dextrose Added to Many Food Products Including Some So-Called Healthy Products

By Janet Vargas - Independent Natural Health Researcher 30+ Yrs

Hi Friends, the Dextrose added to Products first came to my attention about 25 Yrs ago when a significant amount of it was added to some Fruit and Veggie Powders
I bought from a "Health Company" in Queensland. They said it was added to keep the Powders "Free Flowing" but I noticed they went hard in a short time anyway.
I had Beetroot Powder and Broccoli Powder among them. The Maltodextrin added to a lot of Products came to my attention about 8-12 Months ago when I heard an excellent Video by Eric Berg on YouTube. Most of his Videos are Good. Understandably, I have real reservations about Keto Diets though which he has to do with as well sometimes.

I will call on Google AI Overviews and Chat GPT assistance for this Article.
I know what I am looking for. There will be several Sections of Helpful Advice as well.

I will give you a little helpful Tip here for when you are reading some particular Health Related Articles on this Website, and it goes like this: If you consider adopting Real Foods in place of Processed and Ultra Processed Foods and Homemade Meals Mostly instead of Takeaways and Premade Meals, you don't have so much Checking of Labels to do, hey?…

Published on Leave a comment on Fructose Alters Hundreds Of Brain Genes, Which Can Lead To A Wide Range Of Health Conditions

HERE IS A STRONG ARGUMENT AGAINST BUYING THOSE 2 Litre BOTTLES OF So-Called HEALTHY FRUIT JUICES and ESPECIALLY DRINKING THEM STRAIGHT (undiluted) OR HAVING THEM OFTEN. AN OCCASIONAL SERVE OF 120ml DILUTED WITH WATER IS OK and BETTER FOR WEIGHTLOSS TOO. BECAUSE THERE IS "Free Fructose" IN FRUIT JUICE THAT AFFECTS OUR BRAIN and PANCREAS and MICROBIOME and WEIGHTLOSS EFFORTS. NOT A GOOD THING. WHEREAS WHEN WE HAVE A PIECE OF FRESH FRUIT OR FROZEN FRUIT, THE FRUCTOSE IS INTACT WITH THE FRUIT FIBRE THAT KEEPS IT IN CHECK, SO IT DOESN'T MISBEHAVE IF WE KEEP OUR FRUIT INTAKE MODERATE. A LEADING NATURAL HEALTH ADVOCATE DR JOSEPH MERCOLA ALERTED PEOPLE and MADE THEM AWARE OF THE SERIOUSNESS OF FRUCTOSE ISSUES YEARS AGO WITH A PROFESSOR AS HIS GUEST, WHO WAS ENGAGED IN A LOT OF RESEARCH ON THIS. HAVE YOU EVER NOTICED THE IMMENSE AMOUNT OF HFCS (High Fructose Corn Syrup) THAT FOOD MANUFACTURERS USE IN SO MANY FOODS and DRINKS and SNACKS? IT'S CRIMINAL. THEY ARE MAKING PEOPLE SICK. THEY USE A LOT OF Maltodextrin AND Dextrose TOO, WHICH AFFECT OUR BRAIN and PANCREAS and WEIGHT ADVERSELY and MICROBIOME ALSO.…

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.

Published on Leave a comment on New study: Full-Fat Cheese Linked To A Lower Risk Of Dementia and Truth About Non-Fat Mania

By Ida-Marie Palm Varaek from Welltica

A large study shows an association between the consumption of full-fat cheese and the risk of dementia in certain groups.

For many years, low-fat foods have been promoted as the safer choice for health.

In particular, low-fat dairy products have been recommended to reduce the risk of lifestyle-related diseases.

At the same time, interest is growing in how diet affects the brain and the risk of dementia.

Dietary Guidelines

According to international and Nordic dietary guidelines, the intake of saturated fat should be limited.

These recommendations are based on large population studies aimed at reducing the risk of, among other things, cardiovascular diseases.

Dietary research, however, is often complex. People do not eat individual foods in isolation, and diet is closely linked to education, income, and lifestyle.

A Long-Term Study

A Swedish study, published in the journal Neurology, contributes new data to the debate.

In the study, researchers followed 27,670 adults over 25 years. During this period, 3,208 participants developed dementia.

The researchers accounted for several uncertainties, including by excluding individuals who already had dementia at the start of the study and by analyzing the results without those who became ill early on.…

Kiwis Come To Light For Health Benefits

Kiwi Unpeeled: How Two A Day Could Be The Key To Fresher Skin Health and Better Sleep
By Meike Leonard – Daily Mail

Tart, green and fuzzy, they may not always seem the most appealing snack. 

But experts say the humble Kiwi comes with a whole host of Benefits – for our Mood, Digestion and even Skin. 

Native to China since the 12th century, Kiwi were traditionally used for Medicinal Purposes. 

The fruit was administered for stomach issues as well as to aid digestion, ancient records show. 

In the early 20th century, after horticulturists brought the plant's seeds to New Zealand – where it was renamed for its resemblance to the country's furry, brown national bird – the Kiwi became a popular snack amongst stationed US servicemen.

Today, the fruit is one of New Zealand's defining agricultural products – making more than NZ$1billion in export revenue. …
