Weight Loss And Water

YOUR BODY NEEDS WATER 
Even in the winter we need to drink water.

Water makes up more than 70 percent of the body's tissues and plays a major role in nearly every body function from regulating temperature and cushioning joints to bringing oxygen to the cells and removing waste from the body. It is second only to oxygen as a primary building block of human life. Every moment of every day, our bodies use water to per- form one task after another that is necessary to our lives.

Severe dehydration can affect blood pressure, circulation, digestion and kidney function. But on a daily basis, not getting enough water can cause fatique, dry skin, headaches and constipation. Hydration should be the primary focus of health. Proper water utilization is necessary for the accurate processing of 80 percent of the messages communicated between the brain and the body. Even a slight imbalance may cause confused electrical messages to misdirect the muscles of the body. Hydration is also responsible for proper functioning of 90 percent of the muscles in the body.

Through sweat, breathing and other excretory functions, our body loses about three quarts of fluid a day. Yet most people do not replace this lost water with water. Instead we drink soda, tea, coffee, wine and processed juices. These fluids contain a high amount of caffeine, sugars, artificial flavors and coloring as well as other unhealthy artificial substances. These fluids act as diuretics (pulling water from tissue, body organs, etc. then flushing water from our systems) thereby creating an environment of greater fluid loss. The result is that many people end up with chronic dehydration.

Becoming thirsty is nothing more than our body telling us to replace this precious liquid. But how many of us actually drink water?

Everyone should drink 1 ounce of water per pound of body fat, or at least 3 quarts per day. This will help with bowel elimination and help with weight loss.

Vitamin D for Women

African-American woman have higher rates of vitamin D deficiency associated with aggressive breast cancer than white women, a new study finds.

Researchers at the University of South Carolina studied 107 women who had been diagnosed with breast cancer in the past five years, including 60 African-Americans. Sixty percent of African-American women studied had low vitamin D levels, compared to 15% of white women.

“We know that darker skin pigmentation acts somewhat as a block to producing vitamin D when exposed to sunlight, which is the primary source of vitamin D in most people,” study author Susan Steck, PhD, MPH, professor of epidemiology at the University of South Carolina, says in a news release.

Vitamin D Deficiency Linked to Breast Cancer

All participants donated a blood sample, and vitamin D concentrations were measured.

The mean serum concentration of vitamin D was 29.8 nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL) in white women and 19.3 ng/ml in African-American women, researchers say in a news release.

Vitamin D deficiency was defined as serum concentration of less than 20 ng/mL. Aggressive breast cancer was eight times more likely among patients with vitamin D deficiency.

More Research Needed on Effects of Vitamin D Deficiency

The study, Steck says, provides a foundation for possible preventive strategies, but she adds that more research is needed to confirm findings.

All participants were between 33 and 84 years old.
Vitamin D levels are affected by sun exposure, dietary intake, supplements, skin tone, age, and body mass index.

Women need to take a supplement with Vitamin D because we do not have time to get out in the sun everday. Click on the link below to find a great multi vitamin for women.

Cardiovascular Disease And Oral Chelation Therapy

Detoxify with Oral Chelation


The statistics alone are enough to give anyone a heart attack.
Heart disease is the culprit behind at least 30% of deaths in the United States, a killer even more prolific than cancer. Other afflictions of the circulatory system contribute even more fatalities to the charts, proof enough that cardiovascular disease is the prevalent health concern in Western countries.

“Cardiovascular disease” is the umbrella term for afflictions of the heart and blood vessels. Most cases of cardiovascular disease are caused by atherosclerosis, the buildup of plaque along the inner lining of arteries. Naturally elastic, blood vessels need to contract and expand accordingly to regulate blood flow. But activities like smoking, afflictions like diabetes, and the almost universal conditions of high cholesterol level, high blood pressure and excessive fatty acids gradually damage the arterial walls. The abrasions inflicted become the nooks and crannies into which plaque is accumulated over time.

Comprised of calcium, excess cholesterol and metabolic wastes, plaque renders the arterial walls to harden and become inflexible. It obstructs blood passage and the absorption of nutrients and oxygen from the bloodstream. In serious cases, a  procedure called angioplasty is performed to reverse these potentially fatal effects. A balloon is used to open the blocked passage in the artery and restore or improve the flow of blood.

A more popular alternative to surgery and other costly forms of treatment is oral chelation. Practiced since decades ago, chelation therapy is essentially concerned with detoxifying the body of harmful metals. The patient is given chelating agents – substances that bind with metals in the bloodstream, then take them out of the body through the urinary track.

It was later discovered that the chelating agent Ethylenediamine tetra-acetic acid (EDTA), effective against lead, is also successful in removing calcium and other unwanted deposits that block the blood vessels. But rather than dealing with the costs of intravenous treatment, solvents and soft-gel capsules containing EDTA were devised and mass-produced to be taken daily. It was as simple and no different from taking vitamin supplements; it was inexpensive, convenient, and ultimately more accessible to everyone. It was the advent of oral chelation as a means to prevent heart disease.

But there were initial problems. EDTA was a synthetic amino acid. If taken in by itself, the body’s digestive system might consider it a foreign substance and neglect absorbing it into the bloodstream, where it is needed. Harry W. Hersey found a way around this roadblock in 1984. By integrating EDTA with unprocessed honey, royal jelly and choice vitamins and minerals, Hersey unlocked a formula that finally allowed for EDTA to be digested and assimilated thoroughly into the bloodstream. The formula is now called The Original Oral Chelation, a product developed and distributed by Goldshield Elite.

Oral chelation has since made significant contributions to cardiovascular wellness and overall healthy living. But anyone looking to try this alternative treatment should take to it wisely. Don’t rely on a quick fix or miraculous effects. Like how EDTA requires other ingredients for maximum effect, oral chelation also entails that the individual improves all aspects of his lifestyle for holistic and lasting wellbeing.

Changing their diet along with adding a regular exercise routine can go a long way to help control high cholesterol levels. There are a number of natural remedies for lowering cholesterol and when you do the proper research you can find many tools that will help you to achieve your cholesterol goals.

Herbs and Natural Nutritional Substances

There are many herbs that are said to be natural remedies for lowering cholesterol. They are often not expensive and can go a long way in helping you lower your cholesterol in a natural way. Often there are other ingredients contained in a supplement which you are considering, so be sure you speak to your health care provider to ensure that all ingredients will safely interact with any other type of medication you may be taking at present.

The way herbs work to lower cholesterol is by getting rid of fat in the blood. There has been much research done into which of the herbs and natural remedies work, but science is still unsure about exactly why they work to lower cholesterol as effectively as they do.

Natural Products Shown to Effectively Lower Cholesterol

Chromium is a natural product that has been proven effective in raising the good cholesterol HDL and lowering the LDL or bad cholesterol. B-Vitamins help to control cholesterol levels by decreasing oxidization that is the most damaging to LDL cholesterol.

Adding more fiber to your diet is another important natural substance that can help you to lower your levels of damaging cholesterol. You can incorporate fiber either through diet or fiber supplements. Vegetables and whole grains are excellent sources of fiber and some fruits are as well such as apples.

Coenzyme Q10 has had wonderful effects in total cholesterol reduction. Garlic as well has been touted for its cholesterol lowering effects. Grapeseed extract and red yeast rice are also part of natural remedies for lowering cholesterol. Vitamin C, soy and royal jelly are also good at lowering cholesterol. Royal jelly helps to reduce the effects that nicotine has on cholesterol elevation if you smoke.

What You Can Do ?

Try some natural alternatives that have proven records of helping to fight and reduce high cholesterol. There are many products available that can do what conventional medication can without the risks. Cholesterol is directly related to good cardiovascular health and finding the right natural supplement to add to your routine will help you to rid your body of dangerous toxins as well as aid in the fight against high cholesterol. Look into the ingredients of many natural supplements and find the ones that specifically target cholesterol health. OC-Max is an excellent product as it has many of the ingredients in one convenient pill to combat high levels of cholesterol.

Calcium Explained

Calcium is the primary mineral responsible for strong bones and bone well-being. It helps maintain the health of other vital systems, including the heart, muscles and nerves. Calcium is a component of enzymes involved in blood clotting, plays a role in proper muscle contraction, and contributes to a health nervous system.

Minerals can be classified into two categories; major and trace.
Calcium is a major mineral essential for proper nutrition every day. Of the two to three pounds of Calcium contained in the average body, 99% is located in the bones and teeth. The body cannot produce Calcium, so a balanced diet, regular exercise, healthy lifeshyle choices and adequate intake of Calcium, Vitamin D and Magnisium can play a role in maintaining bone health.

Allergy Season Is Here - There Is HELP

It’s that time of year again! The flowers are blooming, the grass needs mowing, the garden is buzzing and you are starting to sneeze and scratch. Why is it that a perfectly wonderful time of year can make so many of us so uncomfortable?

Allergies cannot be cured, but they can be controlled. The first step is to avoid those to things that tend to make you sneeze, itch, or cough.

How to take care of yourself
For most allergies, a person can feel better after taking an antihistamine. Antihistamines include traditional drugs such as Benadryl and Claritin. Benadryl can cause drowsiness. Claritin (loratidine) doesn’t make you sleepy. Both are helpful to control allergies.

Some people may require prescription drugs or even steroids to control the symptoms of allergies. Often antihistamines or cortisone nasal sprays can control allergy symptoms without the general side effects of prescriptions.

Allergy shots
Often people ask about allergy shots – also called immunotherapy. Allergy shots are injections of small amounts of the material to which the person is allergic. By taking small amounts frequently, the person develops a tolerance to the substances that cause the allergies.

TREAT IS NATURALLY
Why not IMPROVE your immune system so you can FIGHT OFF the allergies before they hit you. The best way is to take HoneyBee Propolis twice a day. It is best to start taking it 3 months BEFORE allergy season so you can boost your immune system. Get started on it now and in a few weeks you should feel a difference but it is best to take it year round.
