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 Latest Research Gives New Hope To Patients Who Want To Cure Glaucoma

LOOK WHAT I FOUND. I HOPE THIS POST REALLY BENEFITS YOU!

How To Cure Glaucoma Eye Disease?

Disclaimer: First up, please understand that the term "cure glaucoma" is a search term used to find this page. It's not a claim to a cure. That's very important because it's against the law to make claims about a cure this condition.

So when glaucoma patients use the term "cure glaucoma", what are they actually looking for?

That answer is pretty simple: how to reduce eye pressure naturally so that they can prevent vision loss.

Now, lowering eye pressure will not prevent vision loss alone. Because the eye pressure doesn't cause vision loss. Otherwise, normal-tension glaucoma patients could never lose their sight. They don't have elevated eye pressure. So something else is at play.

So, let's back up...

Eye Pressure Is NOT The Root Cause Of Glaucoma. Treating Eye Pressure Doesn't Treat Glaucoma. Here's a startling fact the eye industry PRAYS you never find out: eye pressure is not the cause of glaucoma. Treating your eye pressure does nothing to cure glaucoma.

What Causes Glaucoma?

Contrary to what you may have heard, eye pressure is not the root cause of glaucoma.…

Workouts to Improve Your Mood

Published on Leave a comment on A Mobile Company That Plants Thousands Of Trees Each Month – Did You Know?

THIS IS A GREAT STORY I FOUND TODAY ON GUARDIAN.COM. THEY PLANT ONE TREE PER CUSTOMER EACH FULL MONTH - THAT'S 12 TREES PER YEAR IN YOUR NAME (so to speak) FOR THE LIFETIME OF YOUR SERVICE WITH THEM (no lock in contracts). PRETTY GREAT FOR A TELCO COMPANY AYE? THEIR NAME IS FELIX. I DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS BEFORE, SO I'M PASSING ON THIS EXCITING NEWS.

I ALSO KNOW A WEB BROWSER COMPANY WHO DO SOMETHING VERY SIMILAR (internationally) I WILL WRITE ABOUT SOON. WE NEED A LOT MORE TREES IN OUR COUNTRY AND HAVE FOR SOMETIME. LET'S HEAR FELIX STORY.

Being sustainable is a choice, and it’s one that every brand should be making. Every day, we’re flooded with ideas about how to be more sustainable. We know to turn off the lights, unplug appliances at the wall and reuse our shopping bags. But what about the brands we support? What are they doing to amplify our good choices?

There’s a shift away from letting individuals take responsibility for climate change. More of us than ever are aware of the impact of fossil fuels, unethical behaviour and damaging supply chains.…

Published on 2 Comments on Children Learn From Growing Things – Let Them Explore, Hey? It’s Good For Them.

I FOUND SOME GOOD FAMILY RELATED MATERIAL ON THE VICTORIAN GOVERNMENT WEBSITE THAT'S REALLY GREAT. I'VE BEEN RESEARCHING NATURE A LOT - OUR NEED FOR REGULAR EXPOSURE TO IT SOME WAY/WAYS THROUGH THE WEEK.

Children Love To Learn How To Grow Plants - Why Not Let Them Try? You May Be Surprised!

IN MY PRETEENS, I WAS FASCINATED BY PEAS AND BEANS EMMERGING THROUGH THE SOIL, WHEN MY MUM WAS TENDING HER VEGGIE GARDEN AND WOULD HAVE LOVED TO HAVE A FEW PLANTS OF MY OWN TO GROW. MY FEELINGS ABOUT THIS WERE NOT VOICED UNTIL I MENTIONED IT TO HER LATER IN LIFE (MY 40'S OR 50'S).

IN RESPONSE, SHE SAID "Oh Janet, you never said anything about it. I would have been happy to share some with you - I didn't think you were interested." I WAS ACTUALLY INTRIGUED. IT'S A GREAT INTEREST FOR KIDS OF DIFFERENT AGES, FROM LITTLE TO TEENS and A GOOD CONTRAST TO THEIR TECH INTERESTS - HELPING TO PROVIDE A BALANCE FOR THEM, HEY? AND HEALTH BENEFITS TO BE GAINED TOO, A WIN WIN!

The Government Says:

People of all ages can enjoy gardening, but children in particular will have lots of fun and gain special benefits. …

Published on Leave a comment on Are Dirt And Germs As Bad As We Think? Learn About GOOD Germs – Say NO To Ignorance!

By Uzma Muneer, D.O.

I WAS BROUGHT UP IN A COUNTRY TOWNSHIP NOT FAR FROM THE BEACH AND PLAYED OUTSIDE A LOT. MANY KIDS ARE BROUGHT UP HAVING CLOSE CONTACT WITH THE SOIL BECAUSE THEIR FAMILY HAS A VEGGIE GARDEN OR THEY LIVE ON A FARM. HEALTH SCIENTISTS ARE SAYING THIS GIVES CHILDREN A GOOD HEALTHY START IN LIFE AND BENEFITS THEIR IMMUNE SYSTEM. THEY’RE ALSO SAYING THAT KEEPING YOUR CHILDREN AND HOUSE SO CLEAN AND OVERUSE OF DISINFECTANTS IS NOT GOOD FOR THEIR HEALTH.

Are You Overly Careful How Your Kids Play?

Some Thoughtful Considerations.

Dr. Muneer specializes in Pediatrics, lets see what she has to say.

Picture this: A baby’s pacifier falls to the ground. A first-time mom sterilizes it thoroughly before giving it back. With her second baby, she quickly runs it under some water first. By her third child, the mom brushes it off and pops it right back into her baby’s mouth. Was her third child any worse for the wear?

We spend a lot of time and energy protecting our babies and kids from germs. But some germs could actually help protect them.

Our health is influenced by all the microorganisms inside our bodies and the surrounding environment.…

Published on Leave a comment on California Communities Learn To Become Self-Sufficient With Mini Gardens

By Virgilio Marin

I LIKE THIS STORY, IT SPEAKS ABOUT MORE THINGS THAN YOU WOULD EXPECT. THE VISIONARY CONCEPTS HERE ARE REALLY INSPIRING.........YOU SHOULD READ ABOUT HOW THEY IMPLIMENTED THINGS. THEY DIDN'T JUST GIVE PEOPLE A BOX OF SMALL SEEDLINGS. AND YOU SHOULD READ ABOUT WHAT THEY DO WITH FRUIT TREES. YES, THE PEOPLE WHO RUN THIS CO-OP ARE GENEROUS KIND VISIONARIES. WOULD LIKE TO SEE THIS KIND OF THING WIDESPREAD - MAYBE IN SOME COMMUNITIES IN AUSTRALIA. WELL DONE!

Cooperation Humboldt, a transition initiative in Humboldt County in California, is providing mini-gardens for free to help communities in the state’s North Coast become self-sufficient and achieve food independence.

The organization initially provided free lawn conversions but decided to shift its focus later on. Tamara McFarland, a leader within the cooperation, was concerned that the lawn conversion project failed to reach individuals who would benefit the most from growing their own food. Most of the people applying for lawn conversions were long-term renters and homeowners with a stable income and the privilege of starting a backyard garden.

When the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic hit, the organization became even more motivated to move away from its lawn-conversion model, which required a number of volunteers working side-by-side for long stretches of time.…

Insomnia In Children: Causes, Treatment, And Natural Remedies

By Sagari Gongala (BSc)

Insomnia complaints in children are usually associated with lack of restorative sleep (deep sleep and REM sleep). A child is said to have insomnia if they (1):

  • Have difficulty falling asleep at night
  • Have trouble staying asleep at night
  • Wakes up very early, at around three in the morning and have difficulty going back to sleep.

This can lead to a significant impairment in the child’s body functions during the day. Insomnia can be long-term, wherein the child has trouble sleeping for at least three weeks or more, or short-term, lasting for just a few days. MomJunction will tell you everything you need to know about insomnia, what causes it, and how to help your child deal with it.…
