Published on Leave a comment on Taking Specific ‘B Vitamins’ Wisely Could Help to Fight Glaucoma, Study Finds

HI FRIENDS, IT'S AFTER MIDNIGHT HERE BUT I'M SO STIRRED and INSPIRED TO START A SHORT SERIES OF ARTICLES FOR THE HEALTH OF OUR EYES and IMPROVED VISION plus SAFETY MEASURES OVER COMING WEEKS IN OCT-NOV 2025. I HOPE THIS HELPS MANY PEOPLE.

Story by Meike Leonard – MSN

A common vitamin supplement could slow down the progression of the degenerative eye disease glaucoma, a study has found.

Vitamin B, found in whole grains, dark leafy greens, such as kale and broccoli, eggs, fish and dairy, appears to diminish the damage caused by the condition.

Glaucoma, which is suffered by nearly 700,000 people in the UK, is caused by an abnormality in the eye’s drainage system causing fluid to build up, increasing pressure on the optic nerve.

Primarily affecting older adults and those with a genetic disposition to the condition, it causes blurred vision and even blindness if left untreated. 

Glaucoma is usually managed by reducing the pressure through eye drops, surgery or laser treatments.

The researchers gave supplements of vitamins B6 (Pyridoxine - avoid Synthetic OR High Doses) B9 (Folate - avoid Folic Acid) and B12 to rats and mice with Glaucoma.…

New Study Reveals Hidden Risks of Early Antibiotic Use in Children

New Study Reveals Hidden Risks of Early Antibiotic Use in Children

Antibiotics are essential in modern medicine, especially for fighting infections in children. But new research warns that overuse—particularly in the early years—may quietly affect long-term health in surprising ways.

Early Exposure Carries Hidden Risks

A large-scale study reveals that repeated antibiotic use before age 2 can be linked to various chronic health conditions later in childhood.

Gut Microbes Take a Hit

Antibiotics disrupt the natural balance of bacteria in the gut, potentially weakening a child’s immune system over time.

Allergies on the Rise

Children exposed to frequent antibiotics showed increased risks of developing asthma, hay fever, and food allergies as they grew older.

A Possible Link to Developmental Delays

The research flagged a possible connection between antibiotic use and intellectual disabilities—but more studies are needed to confirm the link.

Not All Conditions Are Affected

Reassuringly, no clear ties were found between antibiotic use and autoimmune diseases like celiac or inflammatory bowel disease.

No Strong Ties to ADHD or Autism

Parents can breathe a sigh of relief: the study found no significant association with conditions like ADHD or autism spectrum disorders.…

Published on Leave a comment on Health Alert: When POTATOES Are Green OR Sprouting ARE They SAFE To USE? Very Important – Please Read!

By Janet Vargas - Independent Natural Health Researcher 30+ Yrs

Once Potatoes start Sprouting, are they still Safe to Eat? Mostly NO, unless they have only just started to Sprout and are Tiny. You should always Avoid Green Potatoes unless the are only just starting to change colour but you should Peel them Thickly with a Knife instead of a Potato Peeler. Make sure there is No Green left on the Potato OR Throw Out because they are Toxic. Sprouted Potatoes are Also Toxic if they are pass the Tiny Stage (where they have just appeared) and you should never ever consider using Wrinkled Potatoes because ALL of those ARE Toxic!

Please AVOID Eating Green Potatoes
For Your Health's Sake!

For further Information to let you know why this is So Important, shall I show you some abbreviated Information in shorter detail than some Webpages? It goes like this:

You should avoid eating sprouted potatoes because the sprouts and green parts of the potato contain high levels of toxic compounds called glycoalkaloids, such as solanine and chaconine, which can cause symptoms ranging from Stomach Upset and Headaches to Confusion and, in severe cases, Heart and Nervous System problems. While…

Published on Leave a comment on Fake Counterfeit Ingredients and Dodgy Foods/Drinks – You Will Be Surprised

Most of us have heard about UPFs (Ultra-Processed Foods) hey? Some of these Items are INGREDIENTS we would maybe be using to Make Our Own Foods. It really "gets a bit much!" doesn't it? Makes us feel like telling those Manufacturers "Would you Stop Messing with Our Foods!?" OR Boycotting Them like our Grandparents and Greats did. Hey, that's a Good Idea. Think I may encourage More of That!

Orange Juice
What could be complicated about orange juice? It is made from oranges, juiced — except when it’s not. That some juice makers feel compelled to regularly pump up their product with non-orange ingredients seems far-fetched, but they do it. And in fact, orange juice is one of the most popular items to have suspect ingredients sneaked into the mix. The FFD is chock full of faux orange juices, one of the most shocking reveals a mixture of beet sugar, corn sugar, monosodium glutamate, ascorbic acid, potassium sulfate, orange pulp wash, grapefruit solids, and a byproduct from a water distillation system.

But Nutritionists are railing against OJ for another reason. Packed with sugar, calories and carbs, orange juice isn't much better for you nutritionally than soda or any other sweetened beverage, reports Business Insider.…

Published on Leave a comment on Why Chronic Inflammation Can Be Linked To Your Gut – And What To Do About It!

By Laurel Ives – The Telegraph

Our gut microbiome, the bustling community of trillions of microbes living deep within our intestines, does more than just help with digest food, it contributes to so many aspects of our health. In recent years, gut health and inflammation have become such popular buzzwords, yet many still don’t realise just how intricately they are linked:

Why is gut health important?
Inflammation and gut health
Spotting inflammation
Improving your diet for better gut health
Other factors that affect gut health

Our Microbiome Contributes To So Many Aspects Of Our Health

Why is gut health so important?

The gut microbiome is so important, in fact its often called “the second brain.”

Scientists are now realising that when the gut microbiome is out of balance – when the bad bacteria have begun to dominate and kill off the good – it can set off a toxic chain reaction throughout the body. This is chronic inflammation and can be a root cause of many of our most serious illnesses, from cancer to heart disease and diabetes.

So it makes sense that good gut health can translate into improved overall health.…

Published on 2 Comments on Confessions Of A Health Researcher – Lessons Learned and Some Good Advice!

As a Passionate Natural Health Researcher and CEO of Several Websites and Creation with a Passionate Care and Concern for Others Health and Happiness,
I was so into everything of long hours duration on a daily basis including many half nights and weekends. I do find my Work of Creativity and Research VERY INTERESTING to the point where I could “Live on Air” so to speak, neglecting meals often when I start a Project and work right through till I finish it – regardless of my Own Personal Health Needs, so Vital in Life for ALL of Us, not some of us.

PLEASE CARE FOR YOUR EYES!

Funny thing is, as an Inspirational Writer and Spiritual Writer, I really believe in “Practicing what I Preach” that for me is the Golden Standard – and I will not Compromise with that, as like many of you out there, I dislike Hypocrisy in any shape or form, be it religious, political or other. Yet when it comes to Health, I do Practice what I Preach – when it comes to things which are Vital and Essential – but looking back now, I wasn’t Fully practicing my Beliefs as a Researcher when it comes to My Own Health really.…

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.…
