Find Relief From Migraines Through Natural Remedies

About 20 years ago, I was into Natural Health Research a long time and I came across a young woman at a Conference Camp Site who had travelled from Interstate and she had to stay stationary on her bed in her Dorm because she was experiencing a Migraine that would last for days, someone told me. Well I rushed immediately to the small country township to see if they had a packet of Feverfew Capsules to buy them for her. They did, but someone had taken her to the Hospital.…

Published on Leave a comment on How To Reduce Stress In Just 5 Minutes – According To Science – Give These A Try:)

HEY THESE ARE REALLY GOOD. YOU SHOULD GIVE SOME A TRY.
SOMETIMES WE ONLY NEED THE SIMPLE THINGS - NOT COMPLICATED.

By Ida-Marie Palm Varaek

You don’t need a weekend retreat or hours of meditation to calm down.

According to Science, just five minutes of small, intentional actions can help your body relax.

Take Five Deep Breaths

Your breath is directly connected to your Nervous System.

Deep, slow breathing can lower blood pressure, calm your heart rate, and reduce cortisol - the stress hormone linked to poor sleep and brain fog.

Try "coherent breathing": inhale for six seconds, exhale for six - steady and slow.

Hug Someone Or Hold A Hand

Touch releases oxytocin, the "love hormone" that helps to regulate stress.

A 20-second hug can lower your heart rate and blood pressure. Self-touch works too - place a hand on your heart, rub your arms, or gently touch your face.

Step Outside In The Sunshine

Natural light helps reset your body clock, boosts vitamin D, and improves heart rate variability.

Just two minutes outdoors can improve your mood and reduce inflammation. Even standing on a sunny balcony counts.

Take A Brisk Five Minute Walk

Movement boosts blood flow to the brain and activates the "default mode network", which supports daydreaming and creativity.…

Published on Leave a comment on You’ve Been Conned: Your “Healthy” Cereal Might Be Ruining Your Health – Don’t Trust The Front Of The Box!

Breakfast cereal might look like a quick and easy way to start your day,
but new research shows many cereals - especially those aimed at kids - are less healthy than ever.

Here's what you need to know before pouring your next bowl.

Sugar Levels Are On The Rise

Though the increase in sugar might seem modest, many cereals already start with a high sugar content.

Most exceed recommended daily sugar limits, especially when served to children, making them a poor everyday option.

Fat Content Has Jumped Over 30 %

From 2010 to 2023, fat levels in children’s cereals increased by a staggering 33.6%.

High fat content in the morning can contribute to poor cardiovascular health and unbalanced energy levels.

Sodium Is Creeping Up Too

Sodium content rose by 32.1% across new cereal launches, which can raise blood pressure - even in children - and increase long-term heart disease risks.

Fiber Is Steadily Decreasing

Dietary fiber dropped significantly after 2021, falling from 3.82 grams to just 2.94 grams per serving.

That’s a big problem for digestion, fullness, and maintaining a healthy weight.

Protein Has Taken A Hit

Protein content fell from an average of 1.97 grams to 1.69 grams per serving over 14 years.…

Published on Leave a comment on A Scientist Who Studies Ultra-Processed Foods Follows 3 Simple Rules To Help Him Stop Overeating

By Kim Schewitz - Nutrition Researcher

  • Ultra-processed foods tend to be energy-dense and soft, making them easy to overeat.
  • Sam Dicken, a nutrition researcher, tries to avoid UPFs because he naturally has a big appetite.
  • He shared how he avoids overeating without checking labels, such as by considering a food's texture.

Sam Dicken is a scientist who researches the potential harms of ultra-processed foods, like store-bought cookies and pizza. Despite what he knows, these kinds of food are often manufactured to be so easy to overeat that even he struggles to control himself around them.

"My appetite is huge," the researcher at the Centre for Obesity Research at UCL
in London told Business Insider. "I find it really easy to just keep on eating."

But Dicken has a few clever tricks to practice moderation when eating less nutritious foods, which go beyond simply trying to decipher from the label whether they're ultra-processed.

UPFs are made with ingredients you wouldn't find in a regular kitchen,
such as stabilizers and gums, and are highly marketed and shelf-stable.

Part of what makes them so easy to overeat is that this combination can make UPFs hyperpalatable — meaning they contain an appetizing combination of fat, salt, or sugar and are soft in texture, Dicken said.…

Published on Leave a comment on Chronic Inflammation: Symptoms, Causes, and Treatment Tips

By Namita S Kalla

Chronic Inflammation is a long-term condition that can last for months or even years. It's different from Acute Inflammation, which is short-term and usually a result of injury or infection. Chronic Inflammation can cause persistent health issues, making it a serious concern for many. Research from the National Institute of Health, the University of Kansas Medical Center, and the VA Medical Center, Mather, CA, shows that this Inflammation often leads to severe conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and arthritis.

Causes Of Chronic Inflammation:

Chronic Inflammation happens due to various factors that hamper the body's Natural Healing Process. Common causes include infections, irritants, autoimmune disorders, and unhealthy lifestyle habits. Infections caused by bacteria or viruses may resist the Body’s Defense Mechanisms, leading to Extended Inflammation.

Plus, exposure to irritants such as dust, smoke, and chemicals can also cause lasting Inflammation.

Autoimmune conditions like Rheumatoid Arthritis occur when the Immune System mistakenly attacks healthy tissues, causing Inflammation. Additionally, factors such as poor diet, stress, smoking, and obesity can contribute to or worsen Chronic Inflammation.

Symptoms Of Chronic Inflammation:

Chronic inflammation can cause a number of symptoms that may impacting your daily life.…

Published on Leave a comment on Manage Chronic Inflammation: Reduce Redness, Swelling and More by Avoiding These 10 Foods in Your Daily Diet

BELIEVE IT OR NOT, LOTS OF PEOPLE HAVE IMPROVED OR SAID GOODBYE TO THEIR PAIN ISSUES BY AVOIDING FAKE FOODS and PROCESSED FOODS and TOXIC LIKE YOU WILL SEE HERE IN THIS ARTICLE. GIVE IT SOME TIME AND YOU WILL BE SURPRIZED - OFTEN IT'S SOONER:)

From Nivedita on MSN

Diet tips: Inflammation is a natural response to injury, but chronic inflammation can lead to serious health issues. Avoid processed foods, trans fats, and sugary drinks to manage inflammation effectively.

Inflammation is your body's natural response to injury, infection, or irritation.
It's a complex biological process involving the immune system, blood vessels, and various signalling molecules. When tissue is damaged or threatened by pathogens, the body releases chemicals that cause blood vessels to dilate, allowing immune cells to reach the affected area. This results in increased blood flow, warmth, redness, and swelling, which are typical signs of inflammation.

The immune cells, such as white blood cells, work to remove harmful substances and repair damaged tissue, says Dr Vivek Madhav, Metro Hospital’s rheumatologist. While acute inflammation is essential for healing, chronic inflammation, which persists over time, can be harmful and contribute to various diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and arthritis.…

Published on Leave a comment on Ways to Avoid Hormone-Disrupting Chemicals

I INTEND TO HAVE INFO FROM OTHER AUTHORS HERE

Endocrine disruptors like PFAS, BPA, and Phthalates lurk in everything
from Cleaning Products to Dust Bunnies.

By Alexandra Zissu – Author of The Conscious Kitchen and Co-Author of Planet Home and The Complete Organic Pregnancy

Recent June 2025 Article

You may remember learning in Biology Class that our bodies are run by a Network of Hormones and Glands that regulate everything we do. Most often, we think about this system—our Endocrine System—in the context of Puberty, but it actually plays a starring role in All phases of Development, Metabolism and Behavior.

Here’s the bad news: Synthetic Chemicals in products like Plastics and Fragrances can Mimic Hormones and interfere with or disrupt the Delicate Endocrine Dance. We’re exposed to these chemicals daily, and we’re especially vulnerable to them during phases of accelerated development—including throughout Childhood or a Pregnancy. Fetuses are also particularly at risk. Some of the impacts on our Metabolism and Immune, Nervous, and Reproductive Systems can have long-term and even lifetime adverse health effects, such as Learning Disabilities, Obesity, Diabetes, Reproductive Problems (including infertility), and Cancer. 

“We have very tight developmental windows of when, say, our Brain and Reproductive Organs are formed,” explains NRDC Senior Scientist Dr.…

Published on Leave a comment on 9 Flowers You Can Grow To Ward Off Bugs And Other Pests

Having bugs in and around your home, garden, patio, or yard can be frustrating. Not to mention, they're especially hard to get rid of. While powerful, inexpensive insecticides can help eliminate these nuisances, they can also introduce harmful chemicals into your living space. 

Looking for a natural way to get rid of bugs and other pesky critters? Then know that many flowers offer protection against them. According to the Malaria Journal, certain plants and flowers contain compounds that insects find toxic, resulting in an effective repellent that can keep them out of your garden or home. Ultimately, this will mean seeing fewer pests, such as mosquitos, fleas, cockroaches, flies, and more, all year long.

Purple Onion Flowers - Wards Off Bugs

So, if you want to enjoy your time indoors or outdoors without annoying insects, there are plenty of blossoms out there that may be the solution you're looking for. Whether you're a novice or someone with a green thumb, you'll be sure to find the right bug-repelling flowering plant in this comprehensive guide.
