A REAL CONCERN - PLEASE READ

By Mona Bapat, PhD, HSPP Licensed Clinical Psychologist

Uninvolved parenting, or neglectful parenting, occurs when parents demonstrate low levels of nurturing, warmth and love toward their child, and little involvement in their life. If you're concerned that you might be a neglectful parent, it can be useful to know the characteristics of the uninvolved parenting style, and how being uninvolved impacts your child. You can also learn how to become more present and engaged in your child's development and activities to help promote their well-being.

Characteristics of Uninvolved Parenting

Neglectful parents tend to be "hands off" in various parts of their child's life and development. This leads to a heavy imbalance between tending to themselves versus their child. Parents who are uninvolved most of the time tend to:

  • Ignore their child
  • Prioritize their needs over those of their child
  • Be consumed with their work
  • Be consumed with their own interests

Reasons Why Parents Might Be Uninvolved

It's easy to wonder why parents can be so neglectful and removed when it comes to their child. At the same time, there is often more than meets the eye when it comes to things parents might be struggling with that can lead to this type of parenting.…

So many are told to "Stay Away From Sunshine" in Western Countries like USA and Australia. That is based on Flawed Health Science. The Medical Profession is into a lot of that. Many times, if something is GOOD For You, they will tell you it's Bad for you, and Visa-Versa. I've found that through the years. As for taking our beautiful SUNSHINE away, no wonder so many people are feeling Bleak. Let's have Sunshine Inside (of us) and Outside. Both are Healthy, hey!?

Let's Have Sunshine And Brighten Up Our Days!!!

By Dr Al Sears Integrative Medicine Practitioner/International Researcher

Remember the first day of Spring when you opened the blinds to let the Sunshine in? Remember that full-of-energy, ‘happy-go-lucky’ feeling? Have you been missing those Sunny Days?

Many of my patients avoid the Sun like the plague. All they hear is that Sunshine poses serious threats to your health. With all these warnings about the Sun, why wouldn’t they?

Despite the bad rap it often gets, Sunshine is Good for You — if, like everything else, you don’t abuse it. Today, I’ll share some of the benefits of enjoying Sunshine each day – to Lift your spirits and Improve your Health.…

YOU WILL FIND TWO DIFFERENT APPROACHES IN THIS ARTICLE TO HELP YOU AND I WISH YOU WELL.

This Is What Your Food Cravings Really Mean

What do your food cravings really mean? Usually, when you crave something, that is your brain signaling that it is lacking a certain nutrient, and so it will automatically gravitate to the things that are easy, un-healthy and leave us wanting more (since the foods we often gravitate to will momentarily satisfy us, however, our brains will keep on firing, and telling us to eat more – since we didn’t give it the proper nutrients – which leads us into the problem of over-eating).

Our environment is also a major trigger for food cravings. Social situations, visual cues, and smells are ways in which we delve into our deep-rooted food desires. If you want to find ways in which you can battle your cravings successfully, then you need to understand what your brain is telling you it wants. Here is a guide which can help you achieve just that!

How To Use Peppermint Oil To Stop Junk Food Cravings and Instead Burn Tons of Extra Calories

By Carly Fraser

Sugar addiction is real – and the science behind it goes far beyond tastebuds.…

Canola oil has practically taken over as the food processing industry’s oil of choice. Whether it’s mayonnaise, chips, or salad dressings, canola oil is usually the first, second, or third ingredient on the list. However, the health dangers of Canola oil are far beyond what we’ve been led to believe.

CANOLA: Update Your Knowledge And See If What You Have Been Told Is True!

So if there aren’t any actual health reasons to use it, why would it be so widely used throughout the food industry? As with most reasons certain ingredients are used over others – the price. Canola oil is extremely inexpensive to grow and harvest. It is also very easy to grow, due to its genetic modifications.

Canola oil was first promoted in the early 1970s as natural oil. And in 1995, Monsanto created a Genetically Modified version of Canola. By 2009, over 90 percent of the Canadian Canola Oil Crop was Genetically Engineered!

What is Canola Oil?

Canola oil comes from a descendant of the rapeseed plant, a member of the Brassica genus, along with some of our favorite vegetables like kale, broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage.…

All You Need To Know About Smartphone Sickness - Yes, It’s A Thing.

“Q: Do I have a smart phone?
A: 
No, it has me!”

That pretty much sums up the current scenario, doesn't it?

So it’s no surprise if suddenly scrolling through your cell phone makes you feel sick in the stomach. Don’t blame the rich chocolate cake you just ‘liked’ on your newsfeed, because the technology-generated mayhem can make you feel woozy. Maybe a dull headache, dizziness or creeping nausea - these are just some of the peculiar side-effects of spending too much time on WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, or whatever the  kids are addicted to these days.

Is Your Smartphone Making You Sick?

Cell phones emit radio frequency energy (radio waves), a form of electromagnetic non-ionizing radiation, which is absorbed by the tissues closest to them. The dose of the absorbed energy is expressed as specific absorption rate (SAR), in watts per kilogram of body weight.

Exposure to ionizing radiation (like in X-rays), increases the risk of cancer. But so far, the only consistently recognized biological effect of radio-frequency energy is heating, which is what we utilize in microwave ovens.

Can Your Smartphone Cause Cancer?

Several studies with conflicting results (depending on who has funded them) notwithstanding, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), an organ of the WHO, classified cell phone use as “possibly carcinogenic to humans”.

CANOLA and 'VEGETABLE OILS' and MARGARINE GO THROUGH A TOXIC CHEMICAL PROCESS and are Not the 'Healthy Products' the Manufacturers claim they are. Please Read!

Please read the other Post I am writing parallel to this one HERE about REAL FOODS. You will want to "Side with Nature" when you read the following. I am committed to Caring about the "Health & Happiness" of Australians and think you have the right to know these things. If you are an advocate for Low-Fat Diets and Polyunsaturated Oils, hopefully you will think again after reading about the benefits of NUTRITIOUS OILS that offer much more than Cheap Veggie Oil and Canola Manufacturers claim to give you.

The claims are found to be false and misleading. They promise to “save you from cholesterol” and overweight……… the Oils high in Monounsaturates like Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Macadamia Oil and Avocado Oil are the ones that help to keep our LDL Cholesterol Level Low, not the Polyunsaturates. And people put on weight with them anyway but no-one thinks about that. Modern Day Charlatans are many in the Food Industry - highly skilled in crafting lies to get your confidence - they have no conscience, so we really do need to be careful.…

Have you ever woken up to bright morning skies feeling energized? A big reason for your mood is the high-intensity blue light coming from the sun. Among the visible light spectrum, blue wavelengths have the most powerful effect on your sleep-wake internal body clock.

Both natural and artificial blue light can boost your alertness and mental sharpness. But too much of it may keep you awake when your body needs to wind down.

Sunlight

Need help waking up in the morning? Open the blind or get outside to feel more alert.

Light From Screens

Their “blue” light has a powerful effect on your brain. Turn them out about 2hrs before bed.

Artificial Light

Bright lights after dark signal our brain to wake up. In the evening. In the evening. Use dim light, and block outside light.

Block Out Light To Get Good Sleep

How Blue Light At Night Hurts Sleep

Your eyes aren’t good at blocking blue light. So almost all of it passes straight through to the back of your retina, which helps your brain translate light into images.

Exposure to all colors of light helps control your natural sleep-and-wake cycle, or circadian rhythm.…

THE FOLLOWING ARTICLE I FOUND ON THE NET THIS WEEK MAKES A LOT OF SENSE AND MOST OF IT GOES HAND IN HAND WITH WHAT I HAVE RESEARCHED AT DIFFERENT TIMES. I THINK THIS WILL BENEFIT MANY OF YOU WHO HAVE NOT BEEN GETTING RESULTS WITH VARIOUS PROGRAMS AND SUCH BECAUSE THIS COULD BE THE MISSING ELEMENT IN YOUR ROUTINE. PLUS SOME OF YOU WHO HAVE BEEN GOING TO GYMS HAVE NOT HEARD THAT STRENUOUS EXERCISE THAT MAKES YOU PRETTY MUCH EXHAUSTED CAUSES THE ADRENAL GLAND TO MAKE TOO MUCH CORTISONE (a stress hormone) THAT IS ANOTHER HIDDEN CAUSE FOR KEEPING ON THE WEIGHT - EVEN GAINING EXTRA, BELIEVE IT OR NOT - SO NOT ALL GYM INSTRUCTORS ARE WISE, PLUS SOME OF THE EQUIPMENT IS DAMAGING TO YOUR BODY IN CERTAIN WAYS ACCORDING TO RESEARCHERS. PLEASE BE CAREFUL.

So don't be frightened of germs because there are Good Germs as well, kids are missing out on that benefit their Immune System. It’s much Safer than text books say – just one of many practices grandparents and their grandparents encouraged, and their kids were healthier than children Today. No they weren’t mistaken – less educated but not silly. We have been, to take so much notice of information we have been brought up with medical influence. TV and TEC are not Baby Sitter, but we have substituted them for Good Healthy Outdoor Play, Aye?

And today’s Medical System always scaring us into Antibiotics and Vaccines  - half of which are not appropriate for or country here in Australia. We are not in a Third World Country, and people who live in the Islands are healthier than we are without a Medical Establishment, who are always finding more ways to rake in more profits.

In the movies, it’s played for laughs: A little Aluminum Foil… shaped like a hat… is the sure sign of a conspiracy weirdo.

Well, my friend, today I’ve got the REAL conspiracy.

It involves the main ingredient in that foil.

You’re not wearing it ON your head as a hat (at least, I hope you aren’t). But it’s getting IN your head anyway – and it’s not there to help you out.

Aluminum is a MAJOR undiagnosed cause of Cognitive struggles in Seniors, leading to decline and even Dementia, not to mention more severe Neurodegenerative diseases ranging from Parkinson’s to Alzheimer’s.…
