Published on Leave a comment on Big Pharma Is At It Again: I Perceived Signs of This Show Up Recently in Mobile and MSN Newslines – Watch for It. Take Care!

By Janet Vargas - Independent Natural Health Researcher 30+ Yrs

Yes Friends, be Very Careful of a new form of Sales Pitches Big Pharma is making on You – the Innocent Public – with things that really appeal in News Headlines over Mobiles and MSN News. Quite often I notice some Excellent Natural Health Articles on both these services that are really good. But do be aware that these News Services are a Mixed Bag. Culprits Post Nasty Tricks over there too and Media Services don’t discern the difference. They just grab what sounds Sensational and when it comes to Big Pharma and their Allies (Agents in fact) they get paid outrageously well for that.

About 2 or 3 Months back, I noticed 2 Newslines show up several days apart that didn’t Gel with me, and I audibly responded with “Really!?”……… “So we’re up to new games now are we? You’re going to Inflict this Kind of thing on People???” As usual, I’m disgusted at what lengths they go to, to Win Over BIG BUCKS. Totally Unfair! Making You Sick in the Name of Health.

Let me explain what I mean by that and teach You what to Watch for.…

Hi there, these are two Articles for this Post - one on Chives and one on Parsley in the Interest of Better Health. I trust that many of you will give Chives and Parsley a try and maybe inspired to Grow some Organically too.

The Garden Herb that Experts say Boosts Immune Health
and Protects your Vision

From Independent UK

Herbalists may Recommend them for Digestive Health,
Supporting the Immune System, and as a Mild Diuretic

Chives are a longstanding favorite in cream cheese, omelettes, scrambled eggs and spreads. But did you know the popular, slightly peppery-tasting herb comes with some major health benefits?

Just a tablespoon of the thin green vegetable – which some may mistake for the stronger-tasting, thicker green onion – helps to provide essential vitamins and minerals that strengthen eye health, and support a well-regulated gut and immune system.

Chives contain antibacterial and antiviral compounds, according to a handful of past studies published since the early 2000s.

“In modern herbalism, chives are used for their mild antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties. Herbalists may recommend them for digestive health, supporting the immune system, and as a mild diuretic,” botanist Dr.…

Published on Leave a comment on 20 Produce Mistakes You Didn’t Know You Were Making – Helpful Guidelines by RD

By Kristine Solomon - TheHealthy.Com - RD

Here's how to store your fruits and veggies to keep them from spoiling too fast,
as well as how to use stems, leaves, and other "scraps" to get the most out of your produce.

Produce Mistakes To Avoid

Fresh fruits and vegetables are some of the most nutrient-rich foods you can buy. But sometimes it seems like they can spoil way too quickly or go bad before you know it. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Storing produce properly can make it last a lot longer, and cooking it or consuming it in certain ways can maximize the health benefits.

“Fresh fruits and vegetables are some of your most powerful tools for health and wellness and it’s worth it to learn how to buy and cook them,” says Shari Portnoy, RD with the American Council of Science and Health practicing in New York City.

Ever wonder if it’s possible to make better use of “scraps” like stems, leaves, and peels? The answer is yes.

“There are so many myths about food and that leads to a lot of common mistakes when shopping for groceries, including produce,” says Bonnie Taub-Dix, RDN in Woodmere, New York, and author of Read It Before You Eat It.…

Published on Leave a comment on Teenager ‘Blind’ From Living Off Crisps And Chips: Our Eyes Don’t Favor Diet Abuse – Lets Be Kind To Them!

Michelle Roberts Health editor, BBC News online

Experts are warning about the risks of extreme restrictive eating after a teen developed permanent sight loss after living on a diet of chips and crisps.

Eye doctors in Bristol UK cared for the 17-year-old after his vision had deteriorated to the point of blindness.

Since leaving primary school, the teen had been eating only French fries, Pringles and white bread, as well as an occasional slice of ham or a sausage.

Tests revealed he had severe vitamin deficiencies and malnutrition damage.

Chips and Junk Food are BAD for Our EYES

Malnourished

Three years later, he was taken to the Bristol Eye Hospital because of progressive sight loss, Annals of Internal Medicine journal reports.

Dr Denize Atan, who treated him at the hospital, said: "His diet was essentially a portion of chips from the local fish and chip shop every day. He also used to snack on crisps - Pringles - and sometimes slices of white bread and occasional slices of ham, and not really any fruit and vegetables.

"He explained this as an aversion to certain textures of food that he really could not tolerate, and so chips and crisps were really the only types of food that he wanted and felt that he could eat."…

Published on Leave a comment on 117 Year Old Woman’s Diet Could Help Us Live Healthier With Better Gut Health (Microbiome)

By Rachel Woods – The Conversation

When María Branyas Morera died in 2024 at the age of 117, she left more than memories. She left science a gift: samples of her microbiome.

Researchers discovered her gut was as diverse as someone decades younger: rich in beneficial bacteria linked to resilience and longevity. Her daily yoghurt habit and Mediterranean diet may have helped.

While we can't all inherit "lucky genes", nurturing our microbiome may be one way to support lifelong health.

n a recent paper in Cell Reports Medicine, researchers presented what may be the most detailed scientific investigation of a supercentenarian (a person aged 110 or older). Before her death, Branyas agreed to participate in research aimed at uncovering how she lived such a long and healthy life.

When scientists compared her samples with those of people who had not reached such exceptional ages, the genetic results were unsurprising: Branyas carried protective variants that guard against common diseases.

But they also looked at something over which we have more control – the gut microbiome.

This microbiome is the vast community of bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms that live in the intestines.…

Published on Leave a comment on The Diet Craze: Pushing for Keto…Carnivore…Plant Diet…Raw Food Diet…Vegan…Lets Find the Balance!

Hi there Friends, I'm starting this Article because I'm tired of seeing All the Unbalanced Diets that are being Heavily Promoted and Imposed on People and many of You are caught in the middle of it all. I truly do wish some Professional People would grow up. Some of them keep telling People that "This is the Diet You (Everyone) should be On" and NO diet can Claim that. Different Diets have Certain Benefits for Different People, providing they are Not Extreme.

I'm adding this Article to my Blog in addition to the one on Keto Diet because I abhor the way several Health Professionals push Keto or Carnivore Diets….Plant Diet…Raw Food Diet and Vegan are also Unbalanced. Definitely. Now they're coming up with the Bible Diet (Similar to the Ancient Food Diet) and the Human Diet and who knows what else?

The Keto and Carnivore Diets seem to be promoted a heck of a Lot and in my opinion are Very Unhealthy, plus you can get very sick on those - they are basically Animal Protein and Fat, very little of anything else.…

How to Stop Mental Clutter and Fall Asleep Faster

By Mie Hermansen – MSN

Establish a Consistent Nighttime

A regular bedtime routine helps signal to your brain that it’s time to wind down. Avoid screens, bright lights, and stressful activities in the hour before bed.

Write Down Your Thoughts

If your mind is cluttered with worries, jot them down in a notebook before bedtime. This helps clear your head and prevents you from mentally going over the same concerns repeatedly.

Practice Deep Breathing

Slow, deep breaths can calm your nervous system and reduce stress. Try the 4-7-8 breathing technique: inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 7 seconds, and exhale for 8 seconds.

Listen to Relaxing Sounds

Soothing sounds like ocean waves, rain, or soft music can drown out mental chatter and create a more peaceful sleep environment.

Make Your Bedroom a Sleep Sanctuary

Ensure your bedroom is dark, cool, and quiet. Remove distractions and consider blackout curtains or earplugs if necessary.

Try Progressive Muscle Relaxation

Tense and relax different muscle groups one at a time, starting from your feet and moving up through your body. This technique helps release tension and prepares you for sleep.…
