Preventing coughs, colds and the flu isn’t just as simple as just washing your hands and taking Vitamin C. Cold prevention is about increasing your body’s resistance and reducing your susceptibility to infections. It affects all too many people every autumn and winter and needlessly jams our hospitals.
When you come into contact with a bacteria or a virus capable of causing a cough, cold, sore throat or influenza, your body can have one of several responses, and if your immune system is healthy and strong, you will fight off any bugs without ever getting sick. However, If your body has been stressed and fatigued and is already weak and inflamed, your immunity may be quite low which will increase ...

A natural fiber complex reduces body weight in the overweight and obese
Authors: Grube B et al
Summary: 123 Overweight and obese adults were advised on physical activity and nutrition, including a lower calorie diet. (30% energy from fat and 500 kcal deficit/day), One group also received 12 weeks of a natural fibre complex 3 g/day and the other group received a placebo.

This trial looked at the link from red meat, processed meat, and poultry consumption with the risk of early death. 448,568 men and women without prevalent cancer, stroke, or MI were included.
These study showed that a high consumption of processed and red meat only was related to a higher risk of death from any cause and it was estimated that 3.3% of all deaths could be prevented if participants ate less than 20 grams a day of processed meat.
The dark force in one European study proved to be processed meat, which may contain more saturated fat, salt, preservatives and other factors conducive to growing more sludge in our arteries than unadulterated red meat. Not that we need a study ...

The study shows that within hours of drinking it, beet juice lowered systolic blood pressure (the top number in a blood pressure reading) by an average of 4-5 points among a small group of healthy men.
Researchers say that ...
A fairly recent study from the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) showed that eating about 30 calories a day of dark chocolate was associated with lowering of blood pressure without weight gain....
Chocolate lovers have gushed over the research studies that have linked certain forms to improved heart health, lower blood pressure, and enhanced glucose tolerance. But wait a minute – it’s only certain forms of chocolate. Dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70% has been shown in moderation to be the most beneficial.
But warnings abound – this is certainly one of those foods that most nutrition people recommend in moderation. Just as red wine has been touted to be heart healthy, moderation is the ...
As NaturalNews reported recently, a CDC study shows that 97 percent of Americans are contaminated with a toxic sunscreen chemical called oxybenzone (http://www.naturalnews.com/022990.html). This chemical is found in nearly 600 sunscreen products, including children's formulas.
Sunscreens also contain cancer-causing fragrance chemicals and numerous petrochemical-derived synthetic substances that actually promote cancer. That's why informed consumers are increasingly avoiding artificial sunscreen products and, instead, using natural substances to prevent sunburn by boosting antioxidant intake. Consuming Astaxanthin, for example, boosts the body's innate resistance to UV damage. Eating berries and microalgae superfoods (like spirulina and blue-green algae) also boosts antioxidants in the skin, increasing natural resistance to UV damage.
The truth is, sunscreen products are outdated and dangerous. They actually cause the very condition ...
RESEARCH UPDATE:
Probiotics For The Treatment of Infants
Recent research has compared the effect of B. infantis compared to L. acidophilus on known inflammatory markers in both mature and immature intestinal tissues. When the researchers tested the effects of secretions from B. infantis and L. acidophilus separately on fetal intestinal cells, they found that those from B. infantis alone showed a greater ability to reduce inflammation.
Media coverage last week highlighted some outstanding results coming out of Nepean hospital using these probiotic protocols, which has been so significant they are now being implemented across the country.
BioMedica has long been an advocate for the use of B. infantis in maintaining the gastrointestinal health of infants under 3 years of age. NeoCare is a ...
In many cases, getting a better night's sleep and treating insomnia naturally depends on stable blood sugar and understanding your adrenal response. Learn how to stabalise your sugar levels through the day and relax your adrenals at night.
Clinically we see patients with low adrenal function able to fall asleep but not stay asleep. When the adrenals are overactive (often to due an active mind or stress) then patients may be unable to fall asleep.
When you are asleep you need a constant supply of glucose which you get from breaking down stored glycogen. A healthy person has plenty of cortisol to do this, however if you cannot then you will secrete adrenaline and noradrenaline which are stimulatory hormones and will ...
