Published on Leave a comment on “Nutrition Experts” OR Puppets ON Strings? Who Are YOU Trusting In?

By Janet Vargas - Independent Natural Health Researcher 30+ Yrs

Do you believe Everything you Hear and Read? As a Researcher, I don't - there is so much Ignorance and Flawed Medical Science out there. Deliberate attempts of the Food Industry to give Misleading Guidelines and Advice to the Public. Even to Practitioners. They do this for Their Advantage - Not Your Health!

We have Dedicated Whistle Blowers to Thank for Some Knowledge which has gone Public for sometime now. Highly skilled Workers from their Science Lab Departments etc. They left those Companies out of Conscience because much of what they had to do for those Giant Food Companies really Offended them. That is, Harming People's Health to Earn a Living. They just could not do it anymore! Can you blame them?

The Misleading Advice Friends, is a Classic for INVESTED INTERESTS if ever there was one! So Truth of the matter is, Who are You Trusting In for Nutritional Advice? And what's the Real Source of Their Advice? YES! It's a Corrupt Industry - these Food Giants - who have Infiltrated Official Government Bodies and certain Medical Laws in Relation to Nutrition, and have Saturated the Market Place with All Manner of UNHEALTHY FOODS with "Healthy" CLAIMS…….…

Natural Health Article from Science Daily

A new study shows that people who eat a diet that includes at least half a serving per day of foods high in flavonoids like strawberries, oranges, peppers and apples may have a 20% lower risk of cognitive decline. The research is published in the July 28, 2021, online issue of Neurology the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology. The study looked at several types of flavonoids, and found that flavones and anthocyanins may have the most protective effect.

Flavonoids are naturally occurring compounds found in plants and are considered powerful antioxidants. It is thought that having too few antioxidants may play a role in cognitive decline as you age.

"There is mounting evidence suggesting flavonoids are powerhouses when it comes to preventing your thinking skills from declining as you get older," said study author Walter Willett, MD, DrPH, of Harvard University in Boston, Mass. "Our results are exciting because they show that making simple changes to your diet could help prevent cognitive decline."

Published on Leave a comment on An Interesting Connection Between Our Mouth And Our Brain

Excerpts From 4 Articles!

This is very interesting. I've come across Information several times in recent years that Stress the Importance of Taking Care of our Oral Hygiene in relation to HEART HEALTH. Today, I found Information that Stresses the Importance of doing this for BRAIN HEALTH and how they are Closely Related. The Medical Profession has been Treating Everything as SEPARATE for decades, but it so turns out that Our Body Systems are INTERRELATED, as Natural Health Practitioners like a Naturopath will tell you. Remember how people were told that the Earth was FLAT before Columbus discovered it is ROUND? It just goes to show how Ignorant Science and the Medical Profession have been about a number of things, for a very long time.

This goes to show that our Body Parts are Intrinsically Related not Separate - that's Old Ignorant Science!
It has only been "discovered" in recent years that our GUT relates Very Closely to our BRAIN and the Same Neurotransmitters that are present in our Brain are present in our Gut - so it does really matter what Foods and Beverage we Ingest. Hey?

Not long ago, Wholistic Dentists made known that Heart Issues sometimes relate with Very Poor Dental Hygiene causing Dental Caries.…

Published on 2 Comments on Absolutely Criminal: What These Food Giant Manufacturers Do To OUR HEALTH – Please Read!

By Janet Vargas - Natural Health Researcher 30+ Yrs.

I'm Calling Them Out. To me, it's a Form of Witchcraft, what they do to our Food.
It really is! What do you call it when they make the Majority of Food Products damaging to Our Health with All-Manner-Of Hazardous TOXIC Chemicals day after day, year after year and they have absolutely NO Shame? It just goes from Bad to Worse incessantly to the extent that there's very few Groceries we can buy that aren't laden with Chemicals of some kind, to the point one feels Overwhelmed
by the whole thing, and many are pressured into Indifference when confronted
with a Question "What the heck do we buy now?"

JANET'S THOUGHTS ABOUT THE MATTER

To me, the People who Run those Companies are "Not Human" it's like their Conscience has been "Seared with a Hot Iron" because it's really Inhuman what they Do to Us - on a Major Scale. I would not want to be their Family, eating at their table - I would Choke because it's So Upsetting. In fact, I would get up and LEAVE. Seriously, I would!

It's pretty Evident that those People have "Sold their Souls to the Devil"
for the likes of MEGA MONEY and the sense of POWER that comes with that.…

Published on Leave a comment on Fight Depression with Exercise – It Can Lift Depressed Moods

By Dr James M. Greenblatt M.D - Psychology Today
Specialising In Depression.

Lately, exercise has been at the forefront of every conversation about health. No doubt this careful attention is due to the increasing concerns over obesity and sedentary lifestyles.

And it's true that exercise can improve our health by reducing high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and the risk of developing diabetes. Did you realize though that exercise also has amazing positive psychological effects?

Besides the obvious physical health benefits, exercise can also:

A great deal of research dating as far back as the 1980s has shown that exercise can effectively reduce cases of mild to moderate depression. Yet, psychiatrists, particularly those in the US, tend to underestimate the benefits of exercise and rarely prescribe it. British physicians, on the other hand, can actually prescribe exercise as a treatment for depression, with the National Health Service subsidizing some or all of the cost. Imagine being given the green light to take a walk at lunch every day by your doctor!

It's clear that there is no real downside to moderate exercise, so let's get to the particulars.…

Sugar Rush… to Prison? Study Says Lots of Candy Could Lead to Violence

By Edecio Martinez CBS News

Children who eat too much candy may be more likely to be arrested for violent behavior as adults, new research suggests.

British experts studied more than 17,000 children born in 1970 for about four decades. Of the children who ate candies or chocolates daily at age 10, 69 percent were later arrested for a violent offense by the age of 34. Of those who didn't have any violent clashes, 42 percent ate sweets daily.

The study was published in the October issue of the British Journal of Psychiatry. It was paid for by Britain's Economic and Social Research Council.

Not So Liberal Please

The researchers said the results were interesting, but that more studies were needed to confirm the link.…

Published on Leave a comment on Dancing or Brisk Walks Can Slash Diabetes Risk By 74%, Even When it Runs in the Family

By Good News Network -Jun 2023

Dancing or going for brisk walks can slash the risk of diabetes by three quarters, according to a huge new study.

Those who managed more than an hour of moderate-to-vigorous exercise per day were 74 percent less likely to be diagnosed, compared to sedentary peers.

The protection even applied to genetically-predisposed patients when the disease runs in the family. In fact, their susceptibility fell further than individuals at low genetic risk who were inactive.

Brisk Walking To Protect Against Diabetes

“People are unable to control their genetic risk and family history,” said the study’s senior author Professor Melody Ding, of Sydney University. “But this finding provides promising and positive news that through an active lifestyle, one can fight off much of the excessive risk for type 2 diabetes.”

The Australian team tracked 59,325 adults from the UK Biobank—a database holding detailed information about the genes and health of around half a million Brits.

Participants wore accelerometers on their wrist at the start and were then followed for up to seven years.

It is the first study to show that genetic risk of type 2 diabetes, linked to unhealthy lifestyles, can be counteracted by exercise.…
