Simple Health Cures

   We are usually blessed with strong bones in our youth. It is when we start to grow middle aged that our bones begin to thin out. In the case of women this process can be accelerated far more than in the case of men making them more vulnerable to osteoporosis and bone disease.

   If anyone tells you to take care of your bones you start thinking of taking a calcium supplement. While it is true that eating calcium rich food will help strengthen your bones, it will not help too much if cannot stop eating foods which are harmful to your bones.

   Foods with a high pH value are acidic in nature and leach the calcium from our bones. Examples of such food to be avoided are refined  white sugar, refined white flour, high fructose corn syrup, soft drinks, cookies, candies, sweets and desserts.

   On the other hand foods that keep the body pH balance in a healthy equilibrium include broccoli, cabbage, celery, green leafy vegetables, sprouts, dairy products, sardines, salmon, soya foods, nuts and seeds. Avoid too much salt as it carries away calcium in your urine.

   Also you need to get some sunshine to get vitamin D without which you will not be able to absorb the calcium you eat into the body.

   The flaxseed has been seen as a recent phenomena in the world of nutrition. It is a great source of omega 3 fatty acids and has a great nutty flavor, making it a good addition to any diet plan. This is why more people are adding flaxseed to their diet each day.

   In addition it has been shown to help those with a risk of prostate cancer making it a healing food. As is usually true, when a food is shown to be medicinal for a particular disease or condition it may also help with other diseases. How does it help if you are a diabetic?

   It is true that flaxseed may help lower your sugar levels. It is rich in alpha-linolenic acid (also known as ALA). ALA is an essential fatty acid that appears to be beneficial in preventing heart disease and related illnesses. Since most people who are diabetic are also obses and at risk for heart disease eating flaxseed may prove very beneficial to them.

   Before you start popping too much flaxseed in your diet please remember that the presence of fatty acids makes flaxseed very rich in calories. So you will need to measure your intake. And also eat it without the cover as the nutrients get better absorbed into the body that way.

   Those with type two diabetes may ignore early signs of the disease because they are unware of what to expect. The faster one gets detected with diabetes the easier it is to bring the disease under control. This means that you need to pay attention more closely to your body.

   Any changes from the normal could indicate a disease that may need checking into. This is especially true if you have a family history of diabetes. This means that if your mother, father or any grandparent has diabetes you are more likely to get it. So be alert to charges in your body.

   If you are gaining or losing weight rapidly you need to check the reason for the weight change. If you feel thirsty very often without any apparent reason and then keep making frequent trips to the bathroom, you need to check your blood sugar level.

   If your eyesight is bothering you, you must test your eyes to stop nerve damage. This is irreversible so make sure that you take action right away. If healing of a simple cut takes longer than a week you need to check yourself right away. There may be more serious underlying reasons for these changes.

   An alkaline body is healthy and able to fight off and heal itself from disease. An acid body contains the key ingredient that disease feeds on- ACID! Acid is the food that allows disease grow and spread throughtout the body. The best chance for fighting or even reversing disease is by alkalizing your body. Drinking the right water is the first place to start since your body IS 70% water.

   Excess acid in your body leads to imbalance and a disorganization of your cells. Disorganized cells became sick such as in Diabetes. The waste products of these cells are also unhealthy leading to more acid for disease to feed on. When disease has its favorite, most nourishing food (acid) it easily grows and reproduces even more diseased cells. Eventually you arrive at the point of no return- death.

   Drinking alkaline water is important because it neutralizes acids helping you create an alkaline body. When you became alkaline you have the tools needed to choke out the acids that disease thrives on therefore starving your disease! Just like anything else, once you starve it, eventually it dies. Replacing your diet with more alkaline foods also helps to Alkaline your body.

   Excess acid and its waste products are toxic making it difficult if not impossible for you to becoming alkaline. This waste floats around in your interstitial fluids- the fluids your cells bathe in, receive their nutrients from and also where they eliminate their waste into. Those wastes then stick to your cells and cannot be eliminated out of the body. Your body tells you (or rather, screams out at you) there is a problem, a build-up-you of acids. it tells you in the form of symptoms.

   An your body functions efficiently. Drinking alkaline water is the quickest and easiest way to alkaline because it cleans up your interstitial fluid so your cells and organs can absorb nutrients and excrete toxic waste more effectivity. It also continuously detoxifies you.   You get alkalized and detoxified at the same time.

   When your body is properly balanced (acid to alkaline), it is a happy body full of energy, mental clarity, ease of movement, free of pain and able to do the things it loves to do and was designed to do. It is also able to fight off premature aging. Alkaline water can turn an acidic body into an alkalic body rather quickly. Give your body the proper tools it needs to heal itself and keep it healthy so you can live your life to the fullest.

   With more and more hospital offering alternative healing methods, people are beginning to wonder whether or not natural medicine really does work. And by going Natural is actually the best thing you can do for yourself.

   First of all, pharmceuticals are the blessing the western medicine has gifted to modern civilization. Thanks to drugs, people now have cures for diseases once thought to be incurable, and many serious medical conditions are now treatable. But pharmaceuticals, when used to treat minor and chronic illnesses, can be more harmful than good.

    Lets face it as good as pharmaceuticals can be, they’re still main made medicine. And man made medicine, more often than not, simply isn’t meant for the body. While pharmaceuticals may cure the symptoms of a disease, it does little to cure the underlying disease itself. As a result, the disease becomes more aggressive the symptoms worsen, and the sufferer needs to take more damaging drugs.

   What’s worse, pharmaceuticals have became a big business for many companies. With the help of the media. Big pharma has very nearly brainwashed modern society into believing that medicines is the ONLY way to good health. This is far from the truth.

   People are healthy by nature. But because of enivornmental (pollution) and physiological (had diet, little or no exercise, etc) factors, foreign contamininants begin to invade the body and  upset its delicate balance. This is the beginning of disease, diagnosis and prescription a vicious cycle you’ll want to avoid.

   When you go natural, you work on restoring the balance inside you. This minimizes the likelihood of disease setting in, reducing the need for damaging pharmaceuticals in the first place. So start making little steps towards a healthier lifestyle you’ll avoid the downward spiral of disease and drugs that way.

   Diabetes is like a slow poison and a breeding ground for many other diseases and chronic problems. A diabetic person is twice as much likely as compared to a non diabetic person to have heart disease or stroke, and that too at a young age.

   It can cause atherosclerosis which is clogging and hardening of blood vessels. This is caused due to high blood glucose levels over time which in turn leads to increased deposits of fatty materials on the insides of the blood vessel walls. These deposits may affect blood flow, increasing the chances of clogging and hardening of blood vessels.

   Diabetes is also the leading cause of a kind of blindness, kidney disease and amputation. It has been observed that people with diabetes are more likely to die from flu or pneumonia. Dental disease has also been known to have connection with this deadly disease.

   Hyperglycemia, also known as high blood sugar, is a condition in which an excessive amount of glucose circulates in the blood plasma. Chronic levels of glucose can cause organ damage too. Nephropathy or an advanced kidney disease can also be caused due to diabetes.

   Diabetic retinopathy is a disorder related to diabetes which causes damage to retina. Diabetic Vasculopathy  causes the disorder to blood vessels. Other serious disorders due to diabetes include loss of limbs due to poor blood circulation and increased risk of dementia, a cognitive disorder.

The World Health Organization has indicated acupuncture as a valid treatment for eyes disorders including conjunctivitis and cataracts. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, diseases of the eyes are directly related to the liver.

   The eye is nourished by all of the internal organs in the body. The lens of the eyes and the pupil is “attached” to the kidney, the sciera belongs to the lungs, the arteries and veins to the heart, the top eyelids are associated with the spleen, the bottom eyelid belongs to the stomach, and the cornea and the iris belongs to the liver. The spleen and stomach control circulation in the eyes. An imbalance in any of the internal organs can lead to sight problems or eye disease.

   Particular points arounds the eye are indicated for treating different disorders. The inner corners of the eyes are the most commonly used points for dealing with eye disease ranging from early stage cataracts to vision loss that comes with hysteria.

   The hollow of the eyebrows at the midpoint is good for dealing with eye problems caused by stress, too much studying and other kinds of mental strain. The cavities found on the outer limit of the eye are indicated for conjunctivitis, sore eyes, photophobia, dry, itchy eyes, cataracts and blurred vision, and lateral headaches.
