Published on Leave a comment on Ultra-Processed Foods: The Heat Is On – Give Them Pressure – Give Them Curry – Don’t Stop!

By Janet Vargas - Independent Natural Health Researcher 30+ Years

Recently in the last 2 Months, there has been a surge of Articles on Google News on my Mobile concerning ULTRA-PROSESSED FOODS, the way they're Made and the Damage they make to OUR HEALTH. It's Outrageous, the way they get away with that. So much for "Crime Stoppers" you could say.

So I've decided to write about this, having been very Aware and Concerned how many People fill their shopping carts with so much of that Stuff to Feed their Families with. As a Researcher, knowing the full implications of ingesting these Fake and Synthetic Foods on a Regular Basis is detrimental at some time along the way - our Body protests about the way we are treating it - it sometimes does this through disturbing or distressing symptoms and Many People get VERY ILL.

All this is Imposed on the Innocent Public in the form of Tasty, Addictive, Convenient Products. People buy into these Marketing Ploys and before they know it, they're buying More and More of these Items and they become the NORM in their house. The Manufacturers are without doubt delighted about all the Extra Sales AND I intend to see they get a LOT LESS.…

Published on 1 Comment on Happiness: Is It Luck or Discipline?

Learn how to cultivate happiness through mindful choices and healthy habits.

Robert Puff Ph.D. - Psychology Today

Have you ever looked at someone who seems to radiate joy and wondered, "Are they just lucky?" It's easy to assume that people who seem to have had easier lives—stable families, good education, successful careers—are simply fortunate when it comes to happiness. Conversely, we might believe those who have faced significant challenges are destined to struggle to find joy.

But is happiness just a matter of luck? After a lifetime of exploring this question, I've come to a different conclusion.

Learning from Life's Challenges

Throughout my life, I've sought out individuals who seem genuinely happy, regardless of their external circumstances. These aren't necessarily the wealthiest, most attractive, or most accomplished individuals. They are simply people who seem to be thriving, despite whatever life throws their way. And when I ask them about the turning point in their lives, the moment that led to their current state of well-being, the answer is always the same: challenges.

These individuals have faced difficulties, just like everyone else. But instead of being defeated by them, they learned and grew from their experiences.…

Published on Leave a comment on Scientists Show Strolls With Stops Use More Energy Than Continuous Walking

Researchers show more energy needed to get going than later in walks when body is working more efficiently.

Researchers have hit on an unusual tip for walkers who want to burn more calories: rather than plodding along steadily from start to finish, consider taking rest stops.

The advice emerged from a study of volunteers who were put through their paces in the laboratory to measure the oxygen and energy demands of short strolls versus longer walks.

Tests on the participants found that walking or climbing stairs in 10- to 30-second bouts required 20 to 60% more oxygen, a proxy for energy consumption, than covering the same distance in one continuous session, largely because walking is more efficient after several minutes in motion.

“When we walk for shorter bouts, we use more energy and consume more oxygen to cover the same distance,” said Francesco Luciano, a researcher at the University of Milan and first author on the study. “It’s like having a car that consumes more fuel during the first few kilometres than it does afterwards.”

The team launched the study after noticing that many estimates of the energy needed for walking drew on data from people exercising at a metabolic steady state.…

Published on Leave a comment on High Potency Cannabis Leaves Distinct DNA Mark, Linked to Mental Health

By Neuroscience News

A study has revealed that frequent use of high-potency cannabis leaves unique molecular marks on DNA, particularly affecting genes related to energy and immune function. Researchers found that DNA methylation—an epigenetic modification—differed between frequent cannabis users who had experienced psychosis and those who had not, suggesting a possible genetic link to psychosis risk. This discovery may enable DNA blood tests to help identify cannabis users more susceptible to psychosis, potentially informing future preventative approaches. As cannabis use becomes more prevalent, understanding its biological impact is critical, especially for mental health.

Key Facts:

  • High-potency cannabis affects genes linked to energy and immune response.
  • Frequent use leaves distinct DNA marks, potentially linked to psychosis risk.
  • Findings could enable future DNA tests for psychosis susceptibility in cannabis users.

Source: King’s College London

Published in Molecular Psychiatry, this is the first study to suggest that the use of high potency cannabis leaves a distinct mark on DNA, providing valuable insights into the biological impact of cannabis use.

High potency cannabis is defined as having Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) content of 10 percent or more. 

The research also showed the effect of cannabis use on DNA is different in people experiencing their first episode of psychosis compared to users who have never experienced psychosis, suggesting there could be potential for DNA blood tests to help characterise those cannabis users at risk of developing psychosis to inform preventative approaches. …

Published on Leave a comment on 10 Clever Phrases To Put A Manipulator Back In Their Place

Many of us have had experiences with one of these people in recent years. There seems to be a lot more of them, so we should all be prepared how to recognise and handle them. Are to ready? Some of you who have had experiences will Sigh Relief and others will Laugh because some of these are Funny and they can be Effective. Shall we read what Lachlan Brown has to say? He is a good Writer with lots of Solutions on different Topics.

Navigating the world of manipulation is a tricky business. We’ve all come across those who seek to control us through their cunning words and hidden intentions.

But don’t fret, because we hold the power to put them in their place.

In my experience, having the right phrases at your disposal can help you stand your ground against a manipulator. These aren’t just words; they’re mini shields of self-protection.

Let’s get started.

1) “Let’s clarify your intentions”

In dealing with manipulators, clarity is your best ally.

Manipulators thrive on ambiguity and confusion. They weave their web of deceit by making things unclear or by leaving things unsaid.

Therefore, a powerful phrase to use against a manipulator is to ask for clarification of their intentions.…

Published on Leave a comment on True Believers Confronting False Christianity And All It Stands For

By Janet Vargas - Owner of this Website

As a Christian, I apologise for all the Hypocrisy and shameless Monetization the Gospel has been subjected to. Televangelists are a SHAM. Not the Real Thing.
This is not what Jesus Came for! Reminds me of how Shameless Big Pharma started off with all their Charlatans and the Sickness Industry they are Today. I pray that People will get to experience the True Essence of who Jesus Really is. Not all that Fame and Falsity those Showmanists project - So Bad!

Jesus has never taken advantage of me. Nowhere in the Bible does it tell you to
Pay for your Blessings. That's like a Lucky Dip with a Booby Prize. They Badger you with Enticements, presenting God like some Slot-Machine…..so radically different to how I found Jesus - that was not dependent on the Church Scene. Skip all that Modern Churchianity Friends.

Personally, I'm actually more comfortable with the term "Believer" because Christianity has got to be "All manner of Stuff" these Days: Plastic; Unbalanced or Damaging in some instances. THAT is Reprehensible! It's Anything But Gospel.

I share people's Outrage.…

Published on Leave a comment on PLOYS Of Televangelists: Let The People Speak – Hear What They Are Saying:)

By Janet Vargas - Owner of this Website

Someone said: This is the American Dream mixed with (Crafty) Religion.
EXACTLY, I cannot Agree More!

This is AGAINST the Teachings of Christianity - Know the Difference. Fortunately, I've Never had Anything to do with these Jerks or anyone like them. Many Christians can relate with that.

I would like to know 2 things: How can the American Government allow those
Mega-Churches to stay Tax-Exempt? There's absolutely NO LIMIT to those "Preachers" Greed: Devils Religion! AND How can their Law System permit someone like Kenneth Copeland who is Extremely Unstable to Keep a Driver's Licence much less a Pilot's Licence? That's Reprehensible!!! You can be Sure of this Friends, that is Not TRUE Christianity!!!

In recent years, I have often made this statement: It's astonishing, the amount of Evils that Come from America. How can Anyone call it a Christian Country? In fact, on top of all the Worldly Evils that Come from the USA, their Greedy Monger Preacher's Exploitations are even More Staggering.

I have two Christian Friends over there who share my Sentiments. I cannot call myself a "Christian" anymore - it represents so much Good AND Evil these days.…

Published on Leave a comment on Health Care Professionals – Commercialism and Modern Day Living in Relation to HEALTH

By Janet Vargas - Independent Natural Health Researcher 30+ Yrs

The World's System Profits when People are Unwell and Medical often makes us Sick. Most times, Natural Health Practitioners are genuinely Sincere and Help you to Build Up your Health. However Health Manufacturers are often into charging horrendous amounts for their Products, creating confusion in the minds of many.

There are Ways of working around that to gain Better Health when you know what to look for. And how to Identify and Dismiss false and Misleading Advice and Guidelines Governments Accept and Promote through Education Systems due to Greedy Cheapskate Manufacturers Lobbying to change Food Laws to Support their Arguments decades ago now when most people weren't aware that those Changes took place and the Real Reason they did.

This In fact has been the Underlying reason why So Many People's Health has been badly affected, and the Over Processed "Foods" in recent years have drastically affected the Health of Many including Children.

It's a shocking state of affairs, I'm sure you agree when many of you reading this
realise for the first time that some of that goes on.

Things should not be that way.…

Published on Leave a comment on Springtime’s Here – Let Kids Play – Outdoors Is Actually Healthier!

ONE OF THE VERY BEST THINGS YOU CAN DO FOR YOUR CHILDREN - Especially an Only Child - IS LET THEM HAVE TIME OUTDOORS. LET THEM EXPLORE. NATURE IS GOOD FOR THEM - NOT SO MUCH TECH. TOO MUCH TECH IS BAD FOR THEM. IT'S ACTUALLY COUNTER-PRODUCTIVE. ESPECIALLY TO THEIR IMAGINATIONS. SO CONSIDER INTRODUCING THEM TO SIMPLE DISCOVERIES OUTDOORS HEY?

Kids NEED To Explore - Don't Limit Their Imagination

Children’s Indoor Lifestyle Stunts Their Imagination
Sydney Morning Herald

The way we have allowed our housing market to develop means that most of our new our homes are extraordinarily close together (“Ban kids from social, but what will they do outside?”, September 14). They are designed to look inwards; there is no scope for seeing wider horizons. And with this comes a tendency for a narrowness of imagination and vision. This means that Daisy Turnbull’s point is well made. Where are the backyards to play in? Where are the creeks to dam? Where are the places to cycle to? It would be nice to think we can turn this around, but for many this will not be possible.
