Today we’re doing some health tips.

PROTIEN POWDER:  They come in raw, vegan, gluten free and organic to name a few.  But what do you look for when buying these supplemental powders?  According to THE HEALTHY EDGE (May 2014) the best measurement is PDCAAS which measures “both amino acid profile and digestibility”  best is “1”.  Other things to check:  sugar content, added flavorings, added vitamins, minerals and fiber (the last you may or may not want).

MOST COMMON DRUG-RESISTANT BACTERIA:

Enterococcus:  Bactermia, surgical and urinary track infections

Haemophilus Influenzae:  Menningitis, ear infections, pneumonia, sinusitis, epiglottits

Mycobacterium TB:  Tuberculosis

Neisseria gonorrhoeae:  Gonorrhea

Plasmodium falciparum:  Malaria

Pseudomonas aeruginosa:  Bacteremia, pneumonia, urinary tract infection

Shigella dysenteriae:  Severe diarrhea

Staphylococcus aureus:  Bacteremia,  pneumonia, surgical wound infection

Streptococcus pneumonia:  Meningitis, pneumonia, ear infections

HOW TO REDUCE YOUR RISKS FOR HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE

1.  Keep your weight down or loose it if you’re obese

2.  Stop smoking

3.  Exercise–keep an active life style–walk, go to the gym or get a tread mill.

STAY HEALTHY THIS WINTER:  TRY VITAMIN D.    It “boosts the body’s natural defenses and helps  ward off viruses that cause respiratory illness.” (The Healthy Edge–10/14)  Since the exposure to the sun is much lower in the winter supplements are recommended.  The National Institutes of Medicine recommends 600 IUs/day up to age 70 and then 800 IUs/day.  Ask your doctor what he/she thinks.

CRANBERRIES BENEFITS (Healthy Edge/July 2014)

Healthier Gums (prevents bacteria from adhering from the gums).  Look for it in natural toothpaste and mouthwash

Stronger Heart (source of anthocyanins, vitamin C, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds.)  Eat whole berries.

Reduced Cancer Risk (cancer preventive mechanisms) particularly breast, colon, lung and prostate.

Better Digestion (keeping bacteria from attaching stomach lining and est. optimal balance of bacteria in the gut)  prevents ulcers

ONE OF THE HEALTHIES FOODS AROUND:  BRASSICA–anti-inflammatory, low in calories, lots of vitamins, minerals and fiber and their phytonutrients help prevent cancer.  (DELICIOUS LIVING/April 2014)

THE FUTURE OF BRAIN HEALTH?  According to P. Murali Doraiswamy (Director of neurocognitive disorders program at Duke Univeristy) Brain-stimulation devices (both implants and external headbands) are being tested for treatment of and prevention of Alzheimer’s as well as cognition without dementia.

Historical Herb:  Echinacea.  This popular herbal was originally used by the American Indians for healing wounds, insect and snake bites and for internal and external infections.  Current tests have found I to increase the ability of the white blood cells “to fight, destroy and eat toxic organisms that invade the body.”  (Proven Herbal Blends/Daniel B. Mowrey, Ph.D.)

Help To Prevent Diabetes:  Stick with a diet with 15% fat, 15% protein and 70% carbohydrates (from fruits, veggies and whole grain—high fiber which “which makes you feel full quicker and helps you absorb calories slower” AARP MAGAZINE  Oct/Nov 2014) which puts less stress on the cells of your pancreas “that make insulin.”

Keep Rubber Gloves Available to protect your hands “from hot water and cleaners that can irritate of dry your skin.”  (PREVENTION MAGAZINE  Jan. 2009) Get long ones–half way down forearms.

To keep the body in good health is a duty… otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear.

I’m back—in case anybody missed me.  Had to go north for my mum’s memorial.  She would have been 90 this year.  Please think kindly of her if you would.

NOT SOMETHING I OFTEN LOOK OUT MY WINDOW TO SEE….BURR.

Yummy

Since I got back late on Monday I vegged on Tuesday so haven’t gotten it all together:  Thought I’d just do a variety of assorted trivia today to amaze your mind and confound your senses.

CHOLESTEROL TESTS ARE OUTDATED:  According to Johnny Bowden, PhD, CNS in the March 2014 Healthy Edge.  He states that current tests do not cover the five different kinds of HDL (not all of which are good) and that “Knowing your total LDL, is next to worthless.”  He recommends using one of “the modern ‘cholesterol particle tests.”  which he says are often covered by insurance and not expensive.   I’m a nurse and these are new to my might be worth a deeper look

A NICE CHANGE FROM THE GIANT MYTHS–THESE ARE LITTLE PEOPLE’S LEGENDS AROUND THE WORLD:   Legends of little people who survived the Great Flood and initiated the sacred traditions from the Squat gods of Mexico and Peru, the fairy kingdoms of Europe and blonde pygmies of Madagascar; Martinez notes their skills in stone carving, agriculture, navigation, writing and shamanic healing.

FLORIDA IS THE ONLY STATE WITH MANATEES (Places in the Sun/Bertha E. Bloodworth & Alton C. Morris) The name is from the Spanish manati, meaning sea cow and they are found along the coast of the state as well as farther inland in some of our warm springs (with coastal access) during the cooler parts of the year.  We even have a Manatee County (created in 1855).

AN EGYPTIAN SYSTEM THAT CAN PREDICT YOUR (OR ANYBODY ELSE’S) FUTURE.  This book uses a 12,000 year-old system to predict every day of every year and goes on to note that our age is the embryonic stage of a Utopian and Golden Age ahead.  There are even tables so that you can do your own predictions.

FLORIDA ALSO HAS SAW PALMETTO (Strange FLorida/Charlie Carlson) This hardy but short palm which grows in the Florida scrub lands has been totted as a health aide since the late 1800s when it was used in a variety of tonics as “a sedative and diuretic“.  The native Indians before this time had used it for everything from dysentery to skin lesions and they reportedly also claimed it could enlarge breasts and increase sexual desires.  It’s popular again for urinary track problems, head colds and as a stimulant.  Haven’t heard anymore about the boobs and sex thing though.

THERE ARE AT LEAST TWO DOZEN SECRET MANUSCRIPTS DEALING WITH LOST KNOWLEDGE:  Morrow in this book deals with Japan and insists these manuscripts have been handed down since the Paleolithic era by the ruling families  they deal with primeval alphabets, lost languages, forgotten technologies and the sacred spiritual science even UFOs, Atlanta and Jesus visiting Japan.

CELTS CONSIDERED NUMBERS TO BE VERY IMPORTANT–EVEN SACRED IN SOME INSTANCES. (Advanced Celtic Shamanism/D.J. Conway).  #1: represented creative power, independence, strength and discrimination.  #2:  alliances–male/female, positive/negative, hot/cold, inner/outer and cooperation for balance and existence.

THERE WAS A COSMIC CATASTROPHE IN 9500 BC.   Allan & Delair insist there is evidence of a great global catastrophe 11,500 years ago which changed land masses and raised mountain ranges as well as causing earthquakes and volcanoes.
