Hi Friends, there is so much more Importance on Diet than what we think there is – what we Eat and what we don’t; what Kind of Diet we’re on – is it Balanced or Unbalanced? Is it Fad or Overpromising? I deal with certain things that have got into Our Food Chain that are Affecting Our Health adversely. And I will be writing on our Need for Nutrition when Dieting for Weight-Loss. And I will cover the more Nutritious Balanced Diets for Health we can Try.

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 Leave a comment on Diet: The Most Overlooked Cause Of Poor Quality Sleep. Do You Want To Sleep Better?

Forget Sleeping Pills—This Natural Fix Is in Your Kitchen

By Mie Hermansen

From melatonin sprays to meditation apps, we’ve tried everything to sleep better. But researchers now say one of the most powerful tools for better rest is already in your fridge. Here’s how diet may be the secret to a deeper night’s sleep.

More Fruits and Veggies, Better Sleep

Participants who consumed more plant-based foods during the day experienced noticeably more restful and uninterrupted sleep that same night.

Sleep Benefits Showed Up After Just One Day

The improvements didn’t take weeks to appear—researchers observed positive sleep changes within the first 24 hours of eating more fruits and vegetables.

Less Tossing and Turning

Those with higher fruit and vegetable intake experienced fewer sleep disruptions, meaning they were less likely to wake up or shift out of deep sleep during the night.

Just Five Servings Made a Measurable Difference

Researchers estimated that meeting the CDC’s daily recommendation of five servings could improve sleep quality by as much as 16 percent.

Whole Grains Help Too

Alongside produce, participants who consumed healthy carbs like whole grains also reported better sleep, likely due to improved regulation of blood sugar and hormones.…

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 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.…

How Do Seed Oils Affect The Electrons In Your Body?
By "Be Grounded" 

I've been telling you Folks, we should leave these so-called Food Products on the Shelf: Canola, Vegetable Oil, Sunflower Oil, Safflower Oil, Soy Oil, Corn Oil, Grapeseed Oil and Rice Bran Oil - just so you don't miss any and change to other Unhealthy Oils. Same applies to Margarines AND so-called Soft Butters where these same Cheapskate Manufacturers add Canola or Veggie Oil to the Butter to make it Soft for your "Convenience"........ remember my saying here "Soft on your Bread = Hard on your Health" and do remember, these butters are not always referred to as "Blends"........ I always purpose to educate you on MARKETING PLOYS here on Ours Australia, so you know what to look for when Shopping. You are far better choosing Butter in the old-fashioned "Paper Wrapper" OK?

"KETO KETO KETO KETO, KETO KETO KETO KETO............" That's ALL you Hear and See on the Internet! And Stacks of Recipe Websites and Lots of Books on Bookshelves.

"Why?" Because each one of those is Out of Balance. They Create Deficiencies in a LOT of People, and Serious Health Issues often.

Published on 1 Comment on Cholesterol: Let The People And Honest Health Advocates Speak -You Should Read This!

By Janet Vargas - Independent Natural Health Researcher 30+ Years

Friends, You really need to know the FACTS on "High Cholesterol" and the MEDICOS who Prescribe STATINS more then Ever in Recent Times and Why this is So........I do not want You to be caught unaware, what You are getting Yourself into if You give Your Consent and start taking them.

So many of us are caught Off-Guard with those approaches and say Yes, not knowing what's involved in such a decision. It comes as No Surprise to some of us just how deliberate that Campaign is - not really in Our Best Interest like the MD/GPs (Practitioners) would have us believe. It's quiet maddening, many MD/GPs are approaching their patients with Healthy Cholesterol to "go on Statins, now they are a certain Age as a precautionary measure for their Health"...............that's Reprehensible, an absolute Marketing PLOY. You should be aware of this beforehand.

Sorry to say Folks, that's very Naive to believe that. Many of us know better after the Pandemic and Vaccines Aftermath that hit this Country 2020-2023 that just isn't so: those Practitioners at the Medical Clinics are not our "Knight in Shining Armour" they're far from it.…
