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.…

WHY? BELIEVE ME, DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF OUR HEALTH DEPEND ON THIS and EVEN OUR ENTIRE HEALTH. EVEN MANY NUTRITIONISTS and NATUROPATHS DIDN'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT OUR MICROBIOME IN WESTERN COUNTRIES UNTIL RECENT TIMES BUT EUROPEANS WERE WELL AWARE OF IT and HAVE SPECIFIC FOODS IN THEIR DIET EACH DAY THAT CATER FOR THE NEEDS OF OUR MICROBIOME - ALSO REFERRED TO AS THE MICROBIOTA.

Looking After Our GUT Is A Sure Investment for Life
The Missing Link To GOOD HEALTH!

I will show you the best Segments of a few Articles on the Internet teaching about Gut Health. OK?

Expert Suggested Ways To Keep Gut Clean And Healthy

To improve gut health, add fibre-rich foods, stay hydrated, consume probiotics and prebiotics, reduce processed foods and sugar, manage stress, exercise, get adequate sleep, and try intermittent fasting. These practices promote a healthy digestive system, gut flora balance, and overall well-being.

Struggling with poor digestive health, bloating and discomfort, then it is time to pause and fix gut health as it is the foundation of a healthy body and mind. However, maintaining a healthy gut environment depends on several factors, but to a great extent the food you eat can simply define your gut health.…

Published on 3 Comments on “I am a Cardiologist, and This Is the Summer Berry I Swear by for Heart Health”

By Emily Lawence - Parade.Com

All berries are good for cardiovascular health,
but 2 Cardiologists agree that this one comes out on top.

If you were to stock your kitchen full of heart-healthy foods, leafy greens, nuts, beans and salmon are some great ones to start with. Another top food for heart health is berries. Berries may be small, but they're packed with nutrients that benefit cardiovascular health.


All types of berries (besides poisonous ones, of course) are good for heart health and it’s best to eat a wide variety to get a good mix of nutrients. But if you want to prioritize one type of berry with heart health in mind, cardiologists are in agreement on which type to go for.

The Best Berry for Heart Health, According to Cardiologists

It bears repeating that all non-poisonous berries are good for your heart, but both cardiologists say that blackberries are the absolute very best. “Blackberries tend to have a higher content of fiber and antioxidants,” Dr. Panhwar says.

The experts agree that blueberries are another top berry for heart health. “Blueberries are often highlighted for their high levels of antioxidants and potential to improve heart health by reducing blood pressure and cholesterol levels,” Dr.…

Published on 2 Comments on What/Who Is Your Source Of Nutritional Advice? Dietitians and Nutritionists are Backdated – The Education Is Corrupt!!!

By Janet Vargas - Independent Natural Health Researcher 30+ Yrs

I will say this straight off the bat for You: Manufacturer Culprits Lobbied Years ago to have the Medical and Government Education on Nutrition Changed for the sake of their GREED - Mega Profits and Pure Greed!

As most of us know, "Money Rules in this World" let this not reach YOUR HOME.

Vegetable Oils AND Canola Oil are extremely Unhealthy for us.
They both go through a Very Toxic kind of Manufacture.
These Manufacturers are Criminals!!!

And by the way: Sunflower is NOT Vegetables! Neither is Safflower, Soy Oil; Corn Oil; Rice Bran Oil OR Grape Seed Oil. They call them that to make them sound "Healthy".......... it's a Psychological Marketing PLOY that carries No Truth. None whatsoever!!!

Some of you would like to know that 2-3 Years ago, I found an Article from a truly Wise Dietitian who made a Statement about her Profession openly for the Public to read. She said "Dietitians keep Changing their minds about different Foods, giving conflicting advice to People on what's good and what's bad for you and this is causing much Confusion for a lot of People" .............…

Published on Leave a comment on The Foods We Eat Have An Impact On Our Mental Health Often – Especially Over Time

There are two people in my Family whose Mental Health has been seriously Affected through Poor Diet. One of them was trying to make ends meet financially. He made many meals with Pasta mostly, and a Slice of Bread with Vegemite (he used margarine instead of butter) for lunch and Cereal for breakfast. He also had LOTS of Coffee. After doing that for many months, he experienced a Full Swing Major Nervous Breakdown that commenced in a state of Psychosis. His Body AND his Brain were starved for Nutrients and as a part-time Natural Health Researcher, I felt his Myelin Sheaf had worn very thin (that is meant to be a protective lining that cushions our Nerve Cells) that was proven to be true. Since he has changed to a much Healthier Diet he does much better and finds some enjoyment in Life because it has helped him to improve his mental outlook and perspectives. He also avoids thinking about Negative things. The other Family Member was Seriously Affected after having an addiction to Confectionary that put her off a lot of good food. An absolute "No No" because Sugar (and Synthetic Sweeteners) are Very Bad for Our Brain.…

Published on 2 Comments on Ways to Fight Sugar Cravings AND Tips To Win Some Victories Over Weight Gain

WHY DO WE CRAVE SUGAR?
There are many reasons why we go for sweet things.

That appetite may be hardwired. "Sweet is the first taste humans prefer from birth," says Christine Gerbstadt, MD. Carbohydrates stimulate the release of the feel-good brain chemical serotonin. Sugar is a carbohydrate, but carbohydrates come in other forms, too, such as whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, which have fiber and nutrients your body needs.

The taste of sugar also releases endorphins that calm and relax us, and offer a natural "high," says Susan Moores, a registered dietitian and nutrition consultant in St. Paul, MN.

Sweets just taste good, too. And that preference gets reinforced when you reward yourself with sweet treats, which can make you crave it even more.

How to Stop Sugar Cravings: Tips to Use Right Now
If you're craving sugar, here are some ways to tame those cravings.

Reach for fruit. Keep fruit handy for when sugar cravings hit. You'll get fiber and nutrients along with some sweetness. And stock up on foods like nuts, seeds, and dried fruits, says certified addiction specialist Judy Chambers. "Have them handy so you reach for them instead of reaching for the old [sugary] something."…

Published on 6 Comments on Gummy Vitamins Etc Are Basically Another Candy Craze – More Sugar More Chemicals

By Janet Vargas - Independent Natural Health Researcher

Are we Really that Gullible or just plain Brain Washed to Believe All the Claims that are being made?

Vitamin Tablets vs Gummies: Should You Ditch Time-Tested Capsules For Candies?

Yes they look just like candies and come in a variety of flavours. And most importantly, they claim to be the answer for your skin, hair, and even sleep woes. In short, Gummy Vitamins and supplements look tempting and you can avoid taking tablets or capsules. HERE

Be Not Quick To Buy - Recognise Charlatans!

Hey, wait a minute…."they look tempting"….does that mean we can snack on them, whatever? Or have we become so weak-willed that "everything" has to give us "Enjoyment" even Supplements? Let's do the Math and come to our senses hey? Rather than having to be "turned-on" about everything. And if these so-called Supplements do give us a buzz, maybe they are just like the Fake Foods in Supermarkets that Excite the Tastebuds and are Bad for our Health! The fact is that Manufacturers ENGINEER Fake Foods and Fake Supplements with a "Bliss Point" so we will Crave More and Buy More….and…

Published on Leave a comment on Do You Eat With Your Eyes, Your Gut or Your Brain? Insights by Neuroscientist

THIS IS AN INTERESTING ARTICLE I FOUND TODAY WHICH SHOULD PROVE TO BE HELPFUL FOR MANY OF US. EVEN IF WE JUST HAD THE FESTIVE SEASON MEANS THIS ARTICLE STARTS WITH, WE WILL GAIN SOME VALUABLE INSIGHT FOR THROUGH THE YEAR and FESTIVE OCCASIONS, HEY?

From The Conversation

The holiday season is upon us, and with it, opportunities to indulge in festive treats. The proverbial saying “you eat with your eyes first” seems particularly relevant at this time of year.

The science behind eating behavior, however, reveals that the process of deciding what, when and how much to eat is far more complex than just consuming calories when your body needs fuel. Hunger cues are only part of why people choose to eat. As a scientist interested in the psychology and biology that drives eating behavior, I’m fascinated with how the brain’s experiences with food shape eating decisions.

So how do people decide when to eat?

Eating with your eyes

Food-related visual cues can shape feeding behaviors in both people and animals. For example, wrapping food in McDonald’s packaging is sufficient to enhance taste preferences across a range of foods – from chicken nuggets to carrots – in young children.…

Published on Leave a comment on Drinking This Juice Could Help Promote Healthy Aging, Scientists Find

The results, published in Redox Biology, showed higher levels of bacteria associated with good vascular and cognitive health, and lower levels of bacteria linked to disease and inflammation.

Systolic blood pressure dropped on average by five points (mmHg) after drinking the beetroot juice.

Anti-Aging Beet Juice - Good for Our Liver- Add Some Apple and Celery

“We are really excited about these findings, which have important implications for healthy ageing,” said lead author Professor Anni Vanhatalo, of the University of Exeter.

“Previous studies have compared the oral bacteria of young and older people, and healthy people compared to those with diseases, but ours is the first to test nitrate-rich diet in this way.

“Our findings suggest that adding nitrate-rich foods to the diet—in this case via beetroot juice—for just ten days can substantially alter the oral microbiome (mix of bacteria) for the better.

“Maintaining this healthy oral microbiome in the long term might slow down the negative vascular and cognitive changes associated with ageing.”

“Our participants were healthy, active older people with generally good blood pressure,” Professor Vanhatalo stressed. “Dietary nitrate reduced their blood pressure on average, and we are keen to find out whether the same would happen in other age groups and among people in poorer health.…
