Nr 322 Nature is the ispiration

Nr 321 Turmeric every day

This is what happens to your body when you take turmeric every day

Turmeric is one of the oldest superfoods on the planet. Various cultures have experienced its remedying benefits, but now we have scientific evidence that prove its remedying powers besides anecdotal experiences.

Turmeric is a spice with anti-inflammatory, antifungal, antibacterial, antiviral and many other incredible properties.

Here are the magical healing powers of turmeric.

• Fights inflammation naturally: Curcumin is turmeric’s active compound and it seems to be more effective in reducing inflammation than many anti-inflammatory pharmaceuticals on the market.
• Protects your brain: Alzheimer’s, dementia and other cognitive disorders are often linked to a growth hormone named Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF). Curcumin helps to influence your BDNF levels and therefore, may delay or reverse the decline of your brain functions.
• Reduces your risk of cancer: Turmeric may just be the most potent natural substance for preventing cancer growth. It also inhibits the spreading of this disease.
• Improves your digestion: Eating turmeric may prevent inflammation of your digestive track. It also reduces bloating and gas. By stimulating your gallbladder, it also protects you against gallbladder disease.
• Protects your heart: Science has shown that curcumin reduces LDL cholesterol (your bad cholesterol). It also prevents blood clots and build-ups in your arteries. All this ensures a healthy heart.
• Improves your symptoms of arthritis: Being such an amazing anti-inflammatory spice, it is not surprising that turmeric reduces pain – including arthritis pain – in your body. While pharmaceutical drugs for arthritis may have unpleasant side-effects, turmeric has none, yet it is just as potent (if not more).
• Delays aging and improves your longevity: Obviously, turmeric can’t delay time and the number on your birthday cake, but it can keep you feel young and healthy in your body regardless of your actual age. Inflammation and free radicals both play a major role in the ‘symptoms’ of the aging process.

Turmeric is a natural antioxidant and anti-inflammatory substance that protects your heart, fights cancer and protects you against other diseases.

Improving your overall health and happiness doesn’t take much. All you need to do is add 1 teaspoon of turmeric + black pepper (!) to your daily diet. You can add it to smoothies, juices, curries, stir-fries, soups and dressings.

Nr 319 ....5 Inflammatory Foods You Should Remove From Your Diet

1) Sugar

Want to add fuel to the fire? Eat sugar and/or highly processed foods that contain lots of sugar (REMINDER – processed foods don’t always taste sweet, beware!). It’s one of the worst foods for pain in your joints and muscles. Nothing damages the digestive tract like sugar. The medical community is starting to agree on the fact that chronic inflammation often starts in your gut, the biggest part of your immune system. You may remember being told “you are what you eat”. I believe we need to take it one step further – “We are what we absorb.”

2) Alcohol

I’m not saying I never enjoy a glass of wine or fine tequila on the rocks, but moderation is everything. Keep in mind that too much alcohol can damage your gut flora, promote yeast overgrowth, and hinder your body’s ability to detoxify. Like most things in life, the dose is the poison. Alcohol by nature is a sugar molecule combined with a fat molecule. If that doesn’t trigger an ‘aha reaction’ – refer above to #1. Alcohol ranks as one of the top worst foods for pain.

3) Grains

Refined or not, grains are very hard to digest and can greatly tax the GI tract, creating inflammation that leads to Leaky Gut Syndrome.  The problem turns inflammatory especially if you are gluten sensitive (double negative impact).  Add to this, the high levels of phytic acid and lectins in grains can hinder your ability to absorb calcium, magnesium, and other essential minerals. Granted, not everyone reacts the same to grains, however, many people ARE reacting to grains but are completely unaware. Grains are some of the worst foods for pain. The best test on the planet currently to understand if this is you is a simple genetic test.

4) Refined Vegetable Oil

Canola, soy, and corn oils (often referred to as vegetable oil) are largely genetically modified.  These oils are well documented to contribute to inflammation and pain. These oils are frequently used to cook with in restaurants and added to processed foods. Even though these oils are advertised as ‘healthy’ – DO NOT BELIEVE THE HYPE.  They rank as one of the 5 worst foods for pain. Leave these evil-doers alone.

5) Pasteurized Dairy

Recent research has shown that the majority of people with gluten sensitivity also have trouble with dairy.  The cows are fed chemicals and gluten containing grains.  The milk has added hormones, and when it is preserved, the process creates a casein (dairy) protein that can mimic gluten.  In addition, the process of pasteurization affects the molecular structure of the nutritional content that is found in raw, non-pasteurized milk. Like processed oils, pasteurized dairy is best left on the grocery shelf because pasteurized dairy is one of the worst foods for pain.

Nr 318 Can we Cure Cancer With Baking Soda ? YES

Dr. Tulio Simoncini says that cancer is a fungus that can be treated with baking soda, also known as sodium bicarbonate. This former Italian oncologist says that all cancer is caused by a fungus called Candida albicans.

This Rome doctor has the most simple remedy for it, baking soda.  This cheap common compound will alkalize the body, which will attack the Candida, shrink the tumors forming and stop metastases.

Candida will make the body more acidic.  Those who have high amounts of acid in their bodies are more likely to get ill and not be as healthy as individuals that do not have such an acidic body. However, this doctor, who was once very well respected,  is not one that many will follow these days  in Italy as they do not believe his claims:

The sodium bicarbonate will alkalize the body.  It has already been used as a digestive aid when individuals suffer from indigestion, and is used in antacids.

Many do not realize that up to 85% of the bacteria that is beneficial to the body that is found in the intestines direct the immune response. These will release anticancer vitamins, such as folic acid, vitamin K, biotin and B-12, from the foods that you eat to kill cancer cells.  But if the acidity of the gut increases, then these beneficial bacterias can not work properly.

It is scary to think that Candida albican can escape the intestines and get into the blood stream. Did you know that oregano oil and cinnamon can kill this yeast that is found?  Think about this…when a diabetic is given cinnamon, about 25% of these individuals improve as the cinnamon helps the receptor sites for the insulin to be formed in the body.

Another issue with this is that yeast only generate in the presence of oxygen.  But many times these cells have been found to switch from an oxygen based system to one that will not use oxygen to generate energy.

Nr 316 Hemp Seeds Help Fight Cancer, Cardiovascular Disease, and Skin Disorders

Although marijuana and hemp are members of the same species, Cannabis sativa, they are in effect completely different plants. About a dozen varieties of hemp plants are cultivated for food, and they contain about 0.001 percent the main psychoactive ingredient in marijuana known as THC or Tetrahydrocannabinol. Because of its botanical relationship to drug/medicinal varieties of Cannabis, hemp seeds were ignored for their nutritional benefits for a long time.

So, hemp seeds DON’T cause any psychotropic reaction and with their unique nutritional profile may provide significant health benefits.

This means you can consume as much hemp as you want and you’ll never get high or fail a drug test. Even though certain countries have begun to legalize the cultivation of industrial hemp, the hemp seeds you can find at your health food or grocery store were likely grown in China or Canada.

After more than 12 years of research, researchers from the University of Minnesota’s College of Biological Sciences and College of Food, Agricultural, and Natural Resource Sciences found that for the genetic differences between marijuana and hemp is responsible a single gene. Also, they believe they have “indisputable evidence” that marijuana and hemp should be regarded as separate plants. 

Hemp is a high-growing plant with sturdy fibers perfect for making paper, rope, and fiber. The plant purifies the soil around it, thrives without pesticides, and kills weeds.

In fact, hemp is a truly healthy sustainable crop for our environment and most hemp on the market is naturally organic and non-GMO.

Some of the more commercial uses include:

• Health foods
• Building materials
• Textiles
• Body care products
• Plastics
• Cleaning products

Hemp Seeds Nutrition Profile

With their excellent nutritional value, they may boost your health. Hemp seeds, also known as “hemp hearts,” are rich in vitamins, minerals, healthy fats, and protein. (2) Just 100 grams of hemp seeds contain:

Minerals

• Phosphorus — 1160mg
• Potassium — 859mg
• Magnesium — 483mg
• Calcium — 145mg
• Iron — 14mg
• Manganese — 7mg
• Zinc — 7mg

Vitamins

• Vitamin A — 3800 IU mg
• Vitamin B1 — 0.4mg
• Vitamin B2 — 0.11 mg
• Vitamin B3 — 2.8 mg
• Vitamin B6 — 0.12 mg
• Vitamin D — 22.77.5 IU mg
• Vitamin E — 90 mg IU mg

For consuming the hemp seeds, first, you must remove the hard outer shell in order to get to the creamy and soft “heart”. They have a slightly nutty flavor, and they are incredibly versatile for use in smoothies, salads, cooking, and baking.

According to research published in Nutrition & Metabolism hemp seeds contain an ideal proportion 3:1 of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acid which promote cardiovascular health. (3)

Hemp seeds also contain gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), which supports the growth and normal function of cells, muscles, nerves, and organs throughout your body.

Hemp Seeds Health Benefits

1. Prevent Cardiovascular Disease

The omega-3s in hemp oil and hemp seeds have high levels of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). This is another fatty acid which seems to “have a stabilizing effect on the heart.”

Two types of omega-3, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) help reduce risk factors for heart disease, including high blood pressure and high cholesterol.

These three fatty acids not only prevent abnormal heart rhythms and lower your heart rate, but they also lower blood pressure. 

Hemp seeds are also high in amino acid arginine, which produces nitric oxide in the body (5). It makes the blood vessels relax and dilate, leading to reduced risk of heart disease and lowered blood pressure. 

In one study of more than 13.000 people, decreased levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) were linked with increased arginine intake. 

The gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) found in hemp seeds also can reduce inflammation, which on the other hand, may decrease the risk of diseases like heart disease .

• Add 2 tbsp of hemp seeds to your morning cereals or smoothie to naturally raise HDL cholesterol, reduce LDL cholesterol, improve triglycerides and lower blood pressure.

2. Digestive Health

High in soluble (20%) and insoluble (80%) fiber, hemp seeds provide incredible support your digestive health. 

They may also regulate cholesterol levels and reduce spikes in blood sugar .

However, shelled or de-hulled hemp seeds contain small amounts of fiber because the shell which is fiber-rich has been removed.

3. Cancer

Because of its perfect fatty-acid profile of GLA and omega-3 fats, this helps naturally strengthen the immune system and balance inflammation levels.

According to the British Journal of Cancer, the THC in hemp seeds can possibly reverse and stop a glioblastoma multiforme which is a deadly form of brain cancer. 

The journal of Breast Cancer Research and Treatment showed that CBD inhibits human breast cancer cell invasion and proliferation. 

Researchers from the Institute of Toxicology and Pharmacology, University of Rostock, Germany discovered that active ingredients in cannabis have the ability to truly kill cancer cells. They found that both active substances originating from cannabis, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol, contribute to the destruction of tumor cells. Their research revealed that even at very low concentrations of cannabidiols significantly slowed the invading cervical and lung cancer cells. 

4. Reduce Symptoms of PMS and Menopause

Women of reproductive age, up to 80 percent, may suffer from emotional or physical symptoms caused by PMS – premenstrual syndrome.

The hormone prolactin is responsible for these symptoms. 

As mentioned before, hemp seeds contain gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), which decreases the effects of prolactin. 

In one study women with PMS who were taking 1 gram of essential fatty acids (including 210 mg of GLA) daily resulted in a significant lowering in symptoms.

Due to the high content of GLA, several studies have shown that hemp seeds may also help lower the symptoms of menopause, regulate inflammation and hormone imbalances associated with menopause. 

5. Skin Disorders

Hemp oil is oftentimes used in high-end cosmetic products such as soaps, lotions, and lip balms. It penetrates the inner layers of the skin and promotes healthy cell growth.

Hemp seed oil may also improve itchiness, relieve dry skin and reduce the need for skin medication. 

• Because this oil works perfectly for skin disorders such as eczema and psoriasis, to maximize these benefits eat at least 1 -2 tablespoons of hemp seed daily.
• You can also prepare a homemade skin cream by mixing shea butter, hemp seed oil, and essential oils.

6. Weight Loss

Hemp can help you reduce sugar cravings, feel full longer and works as a natural appetite suppressant.

• Add 4 tablespoons of hemp seeds to your breakfast in order to curb excess hunger the entire day.

7. Arthritis and Joint Pain

Consuming the stand alone gamma linolenic acid (GLA), found in hemp seeds, can reduce arthritis symptoms. Actually, one study shows that GLA is an effective and well-tolerated treatment for active rheumatoid arthritis (RA). 

• Take 1 tbsp of hemp seed oil once a day along with a quality fish oil.

8. Plant-Based Protein

If you’re going vegan, you’re in luck. Hemp seeds are a perfect healthy source of protein if you are following a plant-based diet. Just 2 or 3 tablespoons of hemp seeds complete with the amino acids cysteine, lysine, and methionine provide about 11 grams of protein. Edestin and albumin are two main proteins in hemp seed protein. They are rich in essential amino acids with profiles comparable to egg white and soy.
Hemp also contains the highest amounts of edestin among all plants.
Another good thing is that hemp protein because of its lack of trypsin inhibitors and oligosaccharides is easy to digest.

How To Use Hemp Seeds

• Eating hemp hearts, or shelled hemp seeds, is as simple as sprinkling a spoonful or two on top of salads, cereal, or yogurt or into smoothies.
• Since they are gluten-free people with gluten sensitivity can use them as a substitute for breadcrumbs.
• You can prepare your own hemp seed milk just like you blend almonds and water to make almond milk.
• Hemp seeds have a nutty flavor, so they make a great substitute for people with nut allergies.
• Since its delicate omega fatty acids can break down during the cooking process hemp seed oil should be used only as a finishing oil. Use it for salad dressings, or drizzle over grilled veggies, pasta, or popcorn.
