1. Steam therapy Steam therapy, or steam inhalation, involves inhaling water vapor to open the airways and help the lungs drain mucus. People with lung conditions may notice their symptoms worsening in cold or dry air. This climate can dry out the mucous membranes in the airways and restrict blood flow. Conversely, steam adds warmthContinue reading “Clear your lungs from microorganisms”

Even Moderate Air Pollution May Lead to Lung Disease Exposure to pollutants had harmful effects similar to that from smoking. By Nicholas Bakalar   Even moderate levels of air pollution can cause lung function impairment that rivals the damage caused by smoking, a new study found. Researchers studied 303,887 British men and women, with data onContinue reading “Even Moderate Air Pollution May Lead to Lung Disease”

Six highest progesterone binding herbs and spices commonly consumed were oregano, verbena, Turmeric, thyme, red clover and Damiana. High estrogen levels can cause a range of symptoms in females with a very high risk of breast or ovarian cancer. Some post menopausal women are estrogen dominant and consuming greens can balance estrogen level as these herbs and greens are high progesteroneContinue reading “Oregano, verbena, turmeric, thyme, red clover,damiana help balance estrogen and stress”

Ginger May Have Cancer-Fighting Qualities. … The study, published in Cancer Prevention Research, is an early step toward finding out whether compounds found in ginger root might prevent colon cancer. A new study reveals that a compound in ginger could be up to 10000 times more effective than conventional chemotherapy. Scientists found that the ginger extract has anticancer properties through p53 pathway to induceContinue reading “Ginger prevents cancer”

FLEXIBILITY, BALANCE, AND PREVENTING FALLS   Research shows that falls are responsible for a high rate of disability and death in people age 65 years and older. In one year-long study, for example, falls accounted for almost 12,000 deaths, 70 percent of which were among the elderly.1 In addition, data show falls are more common inContinue reading “Prevent falls by maintaining balance”

When malignancy is the etiology of the knee pain, it is usually due to a primary tumor of the osseous structures or soft tissues of the knee joint. Metastatic disease involving the knee joint is uncommon, with few cases reported in the literature. Of these reported cases, metastatic colon or liver cancer is exceedingly rare.Continue reading “Knee pain and liver or colon cancer”

Before we reach the age of 40 or even 50, our mitochondria and all our cells are working together to get rid of invading pathogens and weakening of our membranes.  With air pollution, our lungs cannot provide the needed oxygen to all our cells. With the lack of CQ10 in our cells, there is lessContinue reading “Why our bodies are tuned to fight cancer”

Research shows that drinking Matcha tea can reduce anxiety NEUROSCIENCE NEWSJULY 9, 2019 FEATUREDNEUROSCIENCEPSYCHOLOGY3 MIN READ Summary: Matcha tea can help reduce anxiety, a new study reports. Mice given Match extract showed a reduction in anxious behaviors. The calming effects are a result of Matcha activating dopamine and serotonin receptors.

The University of Sussex research showed that: 93% of participants had a sense of achievement; 88% saved money; 82% think more deeply about their relationship with drink; 80% feel more in control of their drinking; 76% learned more about when and why they drink; 71% realised they don’t need a drink to enjoy themselves; 70%Continue reading “No alcohol in January: benefits”

Short-chain fatty acid fermentation products of the gut microbiome: implications in autism spectrum disorders. Macfabe DF1. Author information Abstract Recent evidence suggests potential, but unproven, links between dietary, metabolic, infective, and gastrointestinal factors and the behavioral exacerbations and remissions of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). Propionic acid (PPA) and its related short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) areContinue reading “Short-chain fatty acid fermentation products of the gut microbiome and the brain”

Obese pregnant mice exhibit changes in social behavior, oxytocin cells, synaptic plasticity, and the microorganism composition of the microbiota, but Lactobacillus reuteri could reverse these changes [46]. Because gut flora imbalance can increase the permeability of the intestinal mucosa, the metabolic products of gut microorganisms and certain cytokines can enter the circulation system and causeContinue reading “Obesity, antibiotic use, gut microbes and brain function”

Clinical hypothyroidism is a pervasive deficit in thyroid hormone actions, leading to the alteration of calorigenesis and oxygen consumption throughout the body and organ-specific effects. Deficiency of T3 actions at the genomic level cause hormonal, biochemical, ion-transport, and mechanical changes in target tissues. T4 is the principal hormone produced by the thyroid gland and inContinue reading “Hypothyroidism and cancer”

Despite improvements in crop production and poverty levels, the WHO estimates that 24% of children are stunted globally, totaling 171 million children. Stunting is a form of chronic malnutrition when children fall below their height-for-age median, leading to cognitive impairment and lifelong economic loss. Nutritional supplementation has failed to improve the prevalence of stunting, promptingContinue reading “Improved sanitation and mycotoxin eradication to prevent stunted growth”

A large body of evidence suggests that the first 1000 d from conception is a critical window in which interventions to address malnutrition will be most effective, but little is known about the impact on linear growth of nutritional interventions in children ≥2 y of age. The aim of this analysis was to evaluate theContinue reading “Positive effects of micronutrients delivered after 24 mo of age”
