The Key Role of this Diet is to Deal with "Leaky Gut" (Permeability of the Intestinal Tract) The Diet Aims to Heal the Gut Lining, which then Reduces Inflammation from the Bloodstream.

IMMUNE REGULATION is the Order of the Day here with these Health Conditions because they are Disorders of the Immune System whereby it fights against itself in disarray basically because it's Out of Synchronization. When the Immune System is functioning Normally, you can Stimulate and Strengthen it however when it is out of Order, we need to do the Opposite - we need to CALM IT DOWN because it's OVERACTIVE. OK?

Published on Leave a comment on The Leaky Gut Syndrome – The Permeable Intestine and How To Deal With It – Some Answers For Better Health!

You can blame most of this on the Highly Compromised  Food Industry where So Many Foods are not Real Food – they are Highly Processed… Ultra-Processed…Foods and Fake Foods…Laden with Cane Sugar or Sweeteners and ALL Manner of Chemical Additives. No wonder our Gut Health is going Crazy because most of the FOODS are CRAZY and Our Body can’t handle it.

This truly Is Important to Restore Gut Health Our Body depends on to experience GOOD HEALTH.
The pursuit of So Many in Our Time!

Our intestine comes into contact every day with the material from no time - in the form of food, bacterial fragments, pollutants. Between our body and the outside world, it is constantly decided which substances the body absorbs, which are not processed and excreted. In this process, a properly functioning intestinal mucosa of the gastrointestinal tract is required and of enormous importance for our health.

The symptoms of Leaky Gut syndrome can be very diffuse and diverse, such as:

  • Joint pain and muscle pain
  • Chronic muscle pain
  • Concentration disorders
  • Bloating, diarrhea, constipation
  • Headache / migraine
  • Mood fluctuations up to depression
  • Eczeme /acne
  • weakened immune system
  • Chronic fatigue
  • Food intolerance (food intolerances)
  • Irritable bowel complaints

Many of the symptoms mentioned are not necessarily associated with a sick intestine.…

Published on Leave a comment on A Low Salicylate Diet for Salicylate Intolerance to Help Manage Distressing Symptoms of Fatigue and Brain Fog Etc

By Janet Vargas - Independent Natural Health Researcher 30+ Yrs

If your System cannot Tolerate taking Aspirin, and Meals with Tomatoes, and certain Meals often cause you Stomach Discomfort or Fatigue or maybe even, IBS... you may have Anxiety or Depression...you most likely have a health condition called Salicylate Intolerance (similar but different to Allergies) A special Temporary Diet for your Food Needs could help control those Symptoms and make them less distressing.

A low-salicylate diet involves eating foods that are Low in or contain no Salicylates to reduce symptoms of salicylate intolerance. This diet involves carefully eliminating High-Salicylate Foods like certain Fruits, Vegetables, and Spices, and then reintroducing them under the guidance of a Healthcare Provider to identify which ones cause reactions. Salicylates are natural chemicals found in many Nutritious Foods, but they are also concentrated in Processed Foods and found in medications like Aspirin. 

Symptoms of Salicylate Intolerance can be:

Asthma, Headaches, Memory Loss, Poor Concentration, Fatigue, Stomach Pain, Bloating, IBS, Hyperactivity, Poor Concentration, Eczema, Stomach Pain, Night or Day Wetting, Irritability, Defiant Behaviour, Aggression, Cries Easily, Emotionally Sensitive, Sleeping Issues. No-One has All of them. Phew!  

Why Follow A Low-Salicylate Diet

The primary reason to follow this diet is to reduce symptoms of salicylate intolerance or sensitivity, which can include various skin reactions and respiratory issues.…

It is a somewhat troubling Disorder where your Digestive System is experiencing an Upheaval (disturbance in no small way) pretty much on a daily basis. STRESS is known to Flair Up distressing Symptoms of Cramping and Bloating; Gas and Flatulence, pronounced Stomach Gurgalling; accompanied with Bouts of Constipation and Diarrhoea.

Low FODMAP Diet - Healthier Lists

FODMAPs are any of a group of carbohydrates whose presence in the diet is thought to contribute to the symptoms of IBS. The term is used mainly with reference to a diet that is low in these compounds (which are mainly carbohydrates).

FODMAPs stands for fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides,
monosaccharides and polyols.

These are all Types of Carbohydrates that are Poorly Absorbed in the Small Intestine. As a result, they travel to the Large Intestine mostly Intact, where they’re Fermented by Gut Bacteria.…

And this is only Part of the Story of Vital Questions they are Not ASKING US and Vital Guidelines they are Not Giving Us that are Imperative for the HEALTH of Our Precious EYES.

What's the reason for this? They're only into SELLING GLASSES basically which have several hundred percent markup on, someone informed us on YouTube several years back who left that line of work.

So I'm Calling Them Out for not only their Outrageous Profits but for not asking us how much SCREENTIME do we Subject our Eyes to each Day and Evening, and do we punish our eyes with Too Much BLUE LIGHT Exposure from Excessive Screen Use.

It would also be of immense benefit to Most of Us if they gave us a Printout of something like the following. My word it would, because the more you research Vision and Eyecare, you see it has a LOT to do with DIET. If you read on, you will see why. And it will make plenty of sense. Shall we go?

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 2 Comments on 12 Foods That Benefit Your Brain – See Which Ones You Would Like To Try. Hey?

Our Health is as Good as the Food we Eat. And so is Our Brain. Did you know that Mental Health Disorders mostly start from long-standing Nutritional Deficiencies and also Poor Gut Health because our Neurotransmitters are present in our Gut - not just our Brain - so Both our Gut and our Brain Relate Closely together. A It is the Same with Brain Power. Everyone talks about Brainpower, but you don't just stay on whatever Foods you have and take a "Brain Power" Supplement each day. You need to build up a Nutritional Profile of Brain Friendly Foods; stay off of Sugar AND Synthetic Sweeteners that are Bad for your Body and Brain. So are Canola and Cheap Nasty Veggie Oils - they mess with your Metabolism causing Lethargy and Brain Fog in many people, and are noted for Mental Blanks (even with young people) because they are Toxic to Body and Brain Cells. Aim for Genuine Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Cold Pressed Coconut Oil. They're both beneficial for our Brain. Polyunsaturated Oils are based on Flawed Science and the ignorance prevails. Don't let that be You.

Our Body and our Brain also benefit much from 7-8 Hours of restful Sleep a Night AND 120 Minutes of Walking (collectively) each Week.…

Published on Leave a comment on The Wonders Of Homemade Probiotic Foods For Depression

New Study Finds Probiotics Dramatically Reducing
the Symptoms of Depression
by Andy Corbley

Probiotics have already been identified in published studies as providing an ability to help alleviate allergy symptoms. Now, the same can confidently be said of regulating mental health.

Some of the most extensive research into the human microbiome has revealed that the diversity of certain bacterial species in your gut can help, sometimes significantly, with many of the most commonly diagnosed mental disorders such as depression, anxiety, or PTSD.

This includes work from the American Gut Project, which sources the world’s largest collection of gut microbe samples—more than 11,000—for use in scientific research. The project findings, while purely observational, suggest that bacterial diversity and richness in the human gut has the capacity to improve a variety of depressive symptoms.

In this paper that was recently published in the journal Nutrition, Iranian scientists found that markers for depression were reduced when taking a probiotic supplement containing particular microbes called lactobacillus casei and lactobacillus acidophilus.

In this small randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled trial, 40 people with major depressive disorder were given an 8-week course of probiotics. Diet and exercise activity were reported and controlled for, and after the 8 weeks ended, self-administered questionnaires revealed that the patients who had received a probiotic supplement had significantly lower scores on a Depression Inventory than those who had received placebo.…

Published on Leave a comment on Adding Color To Your Plate May Lower Risk Of Cognitive Decline

Natural Health Article from Science Daily

A new study shows that people who eat a diet that includes at least half a serving per day of foods high in flavonoids like strawberries, oranges, peppers and apples may have a 20% lower risk of cognitive decline. The research is published in the July 28, 2021, online issue of Neurology the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology. The study looked at several types of flavonoids, and found that flavones and anthocyanins may have the most protective effect.

Flavonoids are naturally occurring compounds found in plants and are considered powerful antioxidants. It is thought that having too few antioxidants may play a role in cognitive decline as you age.

"There is mounting evidence suggesting flavonoids are powerhouses when it comes to preventing your thinking skills from declining as you get older," said study author Walter Willett, MD, DrPH, of Harvard University in Boston, Mass. "Our results are exciting because they show that making simple changes to your diet could help prevent cognitive decline."

Published on Leave a comment on Immunity-Boosting Foods That Help Fight Infections Naturally

These are the foods your body really needs to stay healthy.

By Cynthia Sass, MPH, RD | 2023

One of the most important ways to stay healthy is to adopt habits that strengthen immunity. Getting enough sleep, managing stress, being active, washing your hands properly, and eating well all support your immune system.

While no food or supplement can “cure” or even 100% prevent you from catching a virus, like SARS-CoV-2, which causes COVID-19, or the flu, some foods help bolster immunity.

Here are some immune-strengthening foods and how to incorporate them into your regular meals and snacks.

Citrus Fruits and Red Bell Peppers
Vitamin C, the superstar nutrient in citrus, is famous for supporting the immune system. While vitamin C can't prevent illness, it can shorten the length of a common cold. Vitamin C is necessary for your diet because your body doesn't naturally make the nutrient.

Vitamin C supports your immune system in the following ways:

Protecting your DNA and your body's proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates from damage
Making certain enzymes in your body work
Getting infection-fighting cells to the infection site
Getting rid of cells that are done clearing an infection
You need to consume 100–200 milligrams daily to maintain a healthy level of vitamin C and reduce your risk of illnesses.1

One medium orange provides 70 milligrams, a medium grapefruit contains almost 80 milligrams, and a half cup of raw red bell pepper packs 95 milligrams.…
