Home-Made Organic Herbal Cough Syrup

Growing up in the Midwest, I often reminisce of the change of seasons. The leaves turn from green, to yellow and then sometimes a bright and vibrant red, before tumbling to the ground. As they dry, they form natural leaf “banks” and piles for children to play in. The first snow is always kind of exciting as well. With it comes memories of sled-riding, snow-ball fights, igloos, snow people, and a million other mementos associated with the holidays.

Now that I’m older, and living in a part of the country that barely fluctuates 5 degrees above or below 70 (not trying to rub it in), I’m happy to relinquish some of my holiday yearnings, based on 1 very strong argument:  I hate getting sick.  While I do practice and promote a diet and lifestyle optimum for a strong immune system, we are all human. Depending on where your home is right now, and where you are spending the holidays, there’s a very good chance some sniffling and coughing are right around the corner.  There’s nothing more annoying than a cough, and if you have kids, there’s nothing more sad than hearing that child suffer with a cough throughout the night.

So what exactly is happening when we cough?  Well, coughing, believe it or not, is actually a very good technique we humans have developed, to help clear our breathing passage of dust, mucous, bacteria, and other foreign invaders.  So as uncomfortable as coughing is, we should remember that coughing is actually saving our lives.  It’s one of those defense mechanisms that are body uses to fight disease. Remember the blog on inflammation?  In the same way, however, when these defense mechanisms become chronic, it may be a sign that WE are doing something that irritates our bodies.  Your cough may be a sign of the cold or flu virus.  It may be a sinus infection.  It may also be an allergy.

Regardless of the cause, here are some foods you may want to avoid while you have a cough:

Milk – I used to get 2 sinus infections per year until I removed cow’s milk and dairy from my diet.  It thickens mucous and makes your sinuses a very pleasing environment for bacterial growth. Thicker phlegm might be irritating to the throat or make a cough worse. One report even says that parents often feel that their child produce more mucus after drinking milk or eating dairy foods. Some people complain that their throat feels coated, and this makes them cough.

Nuts – Some nuts, especially peanuts, have been linked to an allergic cough.  Removing these from your diet may ease the agitation in your throat. Avoid nuts like nuts such as almonds, ground nuts, pistachios, cashew nuts and walnuts and as they are high in oil content as well. Another thing, a cough that develops from a peanut allergy is related to asthma. The inflammation in your airways is caused by the chemical reactions in the body that occur during an allergic reaction.

Wheat – Wheat allergies are very common, and several of the symptoms are swollen throat, itchy throat, and cough.  Try avoiding wheat as well while you are experiencing cold and flu-like symptoms such as a cough. Although take note that allergic reactions to wheat can differ. Sometimes the same person can react differently at different times.

Here are some positive tips to help you ease a cough:

Stay Hydrated – Drinking plenty of water will thin the mucous in your throat and sinuses, and allow the material to properly drain without causing as much irritation. Drink a full glass of water each hour, so that you are drinking a minimum of eight full glasses in one day. Also, make sure that the water you’re drinking is not cold. Room temperature or lukewarm water is the best.

Drink Lemon Water – Lemon has natural antimicrobial effects and can help reduce inflammation in your throat. It also helps break up mucus. The hot water relaxes the throat muscles. Drinking lemon water also helps in cleansing and releasing the toxins in your body which may be causing your cough. Plus, we all know that lemons are loaded with Vitamin C which helps in boosting and protecting the immunity!

Use Cloves in a Diffuser – Cloves are naturally anti-microbial and fight inflammation.  They also have been used as a natural pain reliever.  You can boil some cloves in water, or put some clove oil in a diffuser.  Stand nearby and breath in the aroma.  The particles will flow through your sinuses and throat, killing bad bacteria and easing pain in your throat.

Finally, I’d recommend making a Homemade Organic Herbal Cough Syrup!  These are delicious, fun to make, and will help ease your cough.  

Here’s the recipe:

Home-Made Organic Herbal Cough Syrup

Ingredients

2 cups of water

1 ginger root

1 tea spoon of chamomile

1 tea spoon of marshmallow root

half a tea spoon of cinnamon

4 table spoons of lemon juice

1 cup of honey

Instructions

Bring the water to a boil, and add the roots and spices (all the wet ingredients.)

Let it simmer until it has reduced about 40%.

Then strain the water into a jar and let it COOL.

Add the honey and lemon juice (after it’s cooled, we don’t want our honey to cook.)

Take 1-2x a day until cough is relieved.

This is a time of year when colds and flus are more common, and it’s not just in the colder areas.  Why?  I think it’s because our diets change around the holidays.  During holiday parties and gatherings, the foods we eat are much less micro-nutrient dense, and our immune system suffers without those vital minerals and vitamins.  

Secondly, we eat more sugar.  

Studies have shown that just 70 grams of sugar (2 sodas) can reduce our white blood cell count by 50%.

This season, we’ll be around a lot of sick friends and family, so let’s keep our precious immune system in mind, and give ourselves as many vitamins and minerals as we can.  The best way to do that is by juicing organic vegetables and super-foods on a regular basis.

Superfood Beetroot For Super Heart Liver & Bowel Health

Beetroot A Medicinal Food

Super-charged with powerful nutrients and a distinctly sweet and earthy flavour, beetroot deserves to be in your culinary repertoire. Beets are a well-known source of folic acid, potassium, magnesium, iron as well as vitamins A, B6 and C, they boost stamina and just three baby beetroot = one of your 5 a day! Here are the reasons that make beetroot a medicinal food :

Betaine and homocysteine

One of beetroot’s many active compounds is betaine, also termed trimethylglycine(TMG). Betaine plays a role in the breakdown of homocysteine in our body, a substance that is natural but can be harmful if allowed to build up to high levels.

- Raised levels of homocysteine are linked to heart disease, thickening and loss of elasticity of the arterial walls (arteriosclerosis), compromised fertility, osteoporosis, hormonal imbalances, mood disorders, pain and inflammation, Alzheimer’s disease, type II diabetes and more.

- Raised homocysteine is an indication that a process called ‘methylation’, which keeps all the natural chemicals in our body in balance, is not working well.

- Betaine and other nutrients – especially B vitamins – are needed for healthy methylation and to keep homocysteine levels in control.

Research is making us more aware of the importance of controlling homocysteine levels. (Tests are available to check levels.)

Beetroot and the Liver

Beetroot also works to support liver detoxification and bile production for the digestion of dietary fats. Substances called betacyanins in beetroot (including betalains, which give beetroot its beautiful purple-red colour) have been found to support the second phase of liver detoxification. During this second phase, wastes that have actually been made more reactive and harmful during the first phase of detoxification are attached to substances that allow them to be excreted safely from the body. To be in optimal health and protect our body from excessive free radical damage, we need this second phase to work really efficiently.

Research has also shown that betacyanins help to produce bile, a substance that is made by our liver, stored in our gallbladder and then released into our digestive tract when we eat. As well as helping the liver to get rid of waste products, bile acts in the small intestine to break down fats in our food, supporting the digestive process and our absorption of fat-soluble nutrients such as vitamin D, vitamin E and vitamin A.

Beetroot and the Bowel

Some call it ‘God’s Gift to the Colon’ as it contains a form of soluble fibre that makes the stool soft and easy to pass. Remember to leave the peel on of course.

Antioxidant support

Beetroot has been found to increase levels of a crucial amino acid called glutathione in the body. Glutathione is one of our body’s most important antioxidants, and also has many other roles including supporting detoxification and participating in DNA synthesis and repair. In addition, the betacyanins in beetroot also work directly as free radical scavengers, protecting our cells.

Nitrates for healthy blood pressure

The naturally occurring nitrates found in beetroot (root and leaves) helps to make another vital substance in the body called nitric oxide. Nitric oxide supports normal dilation of blood vessels and flexibility of the arteries – helping to maintain a healthy heart and blood pressure.

Recent research has also examined the role of nitric oxide in reducing oxidation of ‘bad’ LDL cholesterol. If LDL cholesterol is allowed to oxidise, it is more likely to cause inflammation and damage to the lining of our blood vessels, potentially leading to build-up of plaques and hardening of the arteries. Beetroot may help to prevent this happening.

 

A rich source of Vitamins and Minerals

Beetroot is a source of iron (for formation of red blood cells and haemoglobin), potassium (for normal muscle function), magnesium (for the health of your nervous system and supporting energy production) and vitamin C (for your immune system). It also contains folate which, like betaine, is important for methylation and maintaining healthy homocysteine levels as I said before.

How to Make Your Own Alkaline Water

Water is slowly becoming the most precious resource in our world. There’s no way around it, it makes up 70% and 80% of our brains and bodies respectively. Water is, in every sense of the word, vital to our existence. Alkaline water offers the best levels of hydration and minerals.

To keep your body nice and hydrated, drink two cups of water first thing in the morning. With them you’ll be able to counter the natural rate of dehydration you have while sleeping.

If you’re an avid coffee drinker, make sure you drink your before your daily wake-me-up because coffee and other diuretics can further increase your levels of dehydration.

Unfortunately most of the of the water that’s accessible to you is either bottled or tap water, both are prone be full of metals, antibiotics, hormones, and chlorine.

Why You Shouldn’t Drink Impure Water

Instead of improving your hydration levels and providing the essential minerals your body needs, these types of water make your body do all work to filter out the hazardous materials. This in turn makes us vulnerable to a range of health issues.

Unreliable water can cause a series of complications, ranging from hindering your immune system to upsetting your body’s acid and alkaline balance. It also makes you extremely vulnerable to any contamination in public water sources or water bottlers.

Bottled water is not only vulnerable to contaminants in its bottler’s system; it also carries the danger posed by the bottles themselves. PET plastic bottles can release heavy metals and chemicals that affect your body’s hormonal balance.

Tap water itself has its own complications, mostly because the majority of public water systems do not have the capacity to control what pharmaceutical compounds enter the supply.

Unfortunately, we still don’t know the full effects of these chemical residues.

If your body becomes too acidic, you’re likely to experience low levels of energy, persistent fatigue, digestive complication, and it can sabotage weight management.

The good news is that these side effects can be bypassed by drinking alkaline water.

At first glance, drinking alkaline water might seem like a costly affair. The price for alkaline filtration system can go up to three thousand dollars.

But fret not, here’s my recipe for homemade alkaline water.

Ingredients:

A full pitcher of filtered water (use any standard water filter)

One organic lemon

One tablespoon of pink Himalayan salt (I can’t stop saying how amazing it is)

Instructions:

Fill your pitcher with filtered water.

Cut your organic lemon into quarters, and add them to the pitcher (Do not squeeze them).

Add the tablespoon of the pink Himalayan salt.

Let the water sit overnight at room temperature.

And you’re now ready to start the morning.

If you’re feeling more adventurous, I also recommend using Find A Spring to plan a trip to stock up on natural spring water straight from the source.

The 20 Cancer Symptoms Women Are Most Likely to Ignore

Don’t rely on routine tests alone to protect you from cancer. It’s just as important to listen to your body and notice anything that’s different, odd, or unexplainable.

  

Here are some signs that are commonly overlooked:

1. Wheezing or shortness of breath

One of the first signs many lung cancer patients remember noticing is the inability to catch their breath.

2. Chronic cough or chest pain

Several types of cancer, including leukemia and lung tumors, can cause symptoms that mimic a bad cough or bronchitis. Some lung cancer patients report chest pain that extends up into the shoulder or down the arm.

3. Frequent fevers or infections

These can be signs of leukemia, a cancer of the blood cells that starts in the bone marrow. Leukemia causes the marrow to produce abnormal white blood cells, sapping your body’s infection-fighting capabilities.

4. Difficulty swallowing

Trouble swallowing is most commonly associated with esophageal or throat cancer, and is sometimes one of the first signs of lung cancer, too.

5. Swollen lymph nodes or lumps on the neck, underarm, or groin

Enlarged lymph nodes indicate changes in the lymphatic system, which can be a sign of cancer.

6. Excessive bruising or bleeding that doesn’t stop

This symptom usually suggests something abnormal happening with the platelets and red blood cells, which can be a sign of leukemia. Over time, leukemia cells crowd out red blood cells and platelets, impairing your blood’s ability to carry oxygen and clot.

7. Weakness and fatigue

Generalized fatigue and weakness is a symptom of so many different kinds of cancer that you’ll need to look at it in combination with other symptoms. But any time you feel exhausted without explanation and it doesn’t respond to getting more sleep, talk to your doctor.

8. Bloating or abdominal weight gain

Women diagnosed with ovarian cancer overwhelmingly report unexplained abdominal bloating that came on fairly suddenly and continued on and off over a long period of time.

9. Feeling full and unable to eat

This is another tip-off to ovarian cancer; women say they have no appetite and can’t eat, even when they haven’t eaten for some time.

10. Pelvic or abdominal pain

Pain and cramping in the pelvis and abdomen can go hand in hand with the bloating that often signals ovarian cancer. Leukemia can also cause abdominal pain resulting from an enlarged spleen.

11. Rectal bleeding or blood in stool

This is a common result of diagnosing colorectal cancer. Blood in the toilet alone is reason to call your doctor and schedule a colonoscopy.

12. Unexplained weight loss

Weight loss is an early sign of colon and other digestive cancers; it’s also a sign of cancer that’s spread to the liver, affecting your appetite and the ability of your body to rid itself of wastes.

13. Upset stomach or stomachache

Stomach cramps or frequent upset stomachs may indicate colorectal cancer.

14. A red, sore, or swollen breast

These symptoms can indicate inflammatory breast cancer. Call your doctor about any unexplained changes to your breasts.

15. Nipple changes

One of the most common changes women remember noticing before being diagnosed with breast cancer is a nipple that began to appear flattened, inverted, or turned sideways.

16. Unusually heavy or painful periods or bleeding between periods

Many women report this as the tip-off to endometrial or uterine cancer. Ask for a transvaginal ultrasound if you suspect something more than routine heavy periods.

17. Swelling of facial features

Some patients with lung cancer report noticing puffiness, swelling, or redness in the face. Small cell lung tumors commonly block blood vessels in the chest, preventing blood from flowing freely from your head and face.

18. A sore or skin lump that doesn’t heal, becomes crusty, or bleeds easily

Familiarize yourself with the different types of skin cancer — melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma — and be vigilant about checking skin all over your body for odd-looking growths or spots.

19. Changes in nails

Unexplained changes to the fingernails can be a sign of several types of cancer. A brown or black streak or dot under the nail can indicate skin cancer, while newly discovered “clubbing”– enlargement of the ends of the fingers with nails that curve down over the tips — can be a sign of lung cancer. Pale or white nails can sometimes be a sign of liver cancer.

20. Pain in the back or lower right side

Many cancer patients say this was the first sign of liver cancer. Breast cancer is also often diagnosed via back pain, which can occur when a breast tumor presses backward into the chest, or when the cancer spreads to the spine or ribs.

Whether you are a man or a woman, it’s important to watch for any unusual changes in your body and energy levels in order to detect any signs of cancer early on. The sooner you notice there’s a problem, the sooner you can begin to take the steps necessary to promote healing within your body.

Of course, ideally you should follow an anti-cancer lifestyle even before you notice any symptoms, as prevention is the best route when it comes to most chronic diseases. It is not unusual for 10 or more years to pass between exposure to a cancer-causing agent (tobacco, chemicals, radiation, cell phones, poor nutrition, etc.) and detectable cancer.

So during this time you have a chance to alter the progression of the disease.

Cancer is actually a group of diseases characterized by uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells. The “cure” lies in controlling this abnormal growth and stopping the spread.

Your body has a remarkable capacity to do just that — to heal — and that ability is fueled largely by your lifestyle. If you eat well, exercise, get enough sleep and sun exposure and address your emotional stress, your body should be able to maintain a healthy balance.

The problem with cancer often lies not only with ignoring these health principles but also with the invasive and highly risky treatments that conventional medicine relies on to treat it — surgery, chemotherapy and radiation.

This may surprise you to hear, but a recent landmark study found some cancers, even invasive cancers, may go away without treatment, and it may happen more often than anyone thought.

On the contrary, many experts now say cancer patients are more likely to die from cancer treatments like chemotherapy than the cancer itself.

The alarming rates of cancer deaths across the world — cancer has a mortality rate of 90 percent, according to Italian oncologist Dr. Tullio Simoncini — speak volumes about the effectiveness, or lack thereof, of these treatments, yet they are still regarded as the gold standard of cancer care.

Cancer Rates Continue to Rise in 2009

Nearly 1.5 million new cancer cases are expected to be diagnosed in the United States in 2009, not including the over 1 million cases of basal and squamous cell skin cancers that are also expected to be diagnosed this year, according to American Cancer Society data.

In all, more than 1,500 people will die from cancer each day, accounting for nearly one out of every four U.S. deaths.

The latest estimates show that by 2030, over 26 million people a year may be diagnosed with cancer, with 17 million people dying from it.

Many of these cancer cases and deaths can be prevented, however.

Even the American Cancer Society states that about one-third of the more than 562,000 cancer deaths expected to occur in 2009 will be related to overweight or obesity, physical inactivity and poor nutrition. Another 169,000 will be caused by tobacco use.

There is another widely overlooked cause of cancer deaths, one that could easily be changed as well, and that is a lack of vitamin D from sun exposure.

We now know that well in excess of half of cancer cases would simply disappear if vitamin D levels were optimized.

If You Suspect You Have Cancer, What Should You Do?

First and foremost I would suggest you seek the guidance of a knowledgeable natural health care practitioner. From there the choice is a highly personal decision but one I would urge you to keep an open mind on.

Many people turn to conventional cancer treatments like chemotherapy because they think they are the ONLY option. Well, there are other safer options to consider, including one that you may have in your kitchen pantry: baking soda.

Sodium bicarbonate delivers a natural form of chemotherapy in a way that effectively kills cancer cells — without the side effects and costs of standard chemotherapy treatments. The only problem with the treatment, according to Dr. Mark Sircus, is that it’s too cheap. Since no one is going to make money from it, no one will promote it.

Dr. Simoncini’s quite amazing experience has shown that 99 percent of breast and bladder cancers can heal in just six days, entirely without the use of surgery, chemo or radiation, using just a local infiltration device (such as a catheter) to deliver the sodium bicarbonate directly to the infected site in your breast tissue or bladder.

You can watch actual before and after footage of the treatment working in this video.

Another such approach is Dr. Hamer’s German New Medicine (GNM), which operates under the premise that every disease, including cancer, originates from an unexpected shock experience, and that all disease can be cured by resolving these underlying emotional traumas.

Dr. Hamer has spent time in prison for refusing to disavow his medical findings and stop treating his patients with his unorthodox techniques, and is currently living in exile, seeking asylum from persecution.

Make Sure Your Vitamin D Levels are in the Optimal Range

It is also very important for cancer patients to optimize their vitamin D levels into a high range, and you can find out the correct levels by watching my one-hour vitamin D lecture.

Calcitriol, the most potent steroid hormone in your body, is produced in large amounts in your tissues when you have sufficient amounts of vitamin D. However, most cancer patients are vitamin D deficient.

Calcitrol — the activated form of vitamin D — has been shown to protect against cancer by inducing cell differentiation and controlling cell proliferation.

People with a low vitamin D level are less able to make activated vitamin D in an amount sufficient to exert the controls over cell proliferation that are needed to reduce cancer.

Not only is this approach almost without any side effects, but the treatment is virtually free.

So, again, if you have or suspect you have cancer please watch my free vitamin D lecture now to find out how to optimize your levels to the therapeutic range.

12 Tips to Reduce Your Risk of Cancer Now

As I said earlier, living an anti-cancer lifestyle now will help your body to stay healthy and in balance, and avoid developing cancer in the first place. Here are the top tips I recommend to start living your healthier lifestyle now:

1. Normalize your vitamin D levels by getting plenty of sunlight exposure and consider careful supplementation when this is not possible. If you take oral vitamin D and have a cancer, it would be very prudent to monitor your vitamin D blood levels regularly.

2. Reduce or eliminate your processed food, sugar and grain carbohydrate intake. Yes, this is even true for whole unprocessed organic grains, as they tend to rapidly break down and drive your insulin and leptin levels up, which is the last thing you need to have happening if you are seeking to resolve or prevent cancer.

3. Control your fasting insulin and leptin levels. This is the end result, and can be easily monitored with the use of simple and relatively inexpensive blood tests.

4. Normalize your ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fats by taking a high-quality animal-based omega-3 fat like krill oil and reducing your intake of most processed vegetable oils.

5. Get regular exercise. One of the primary reasons exercise works is that it drives your insulin levels down. Controlling insulin levels is one of the most powerful ways to reduce your cancer risks.

6. Get regular, good sleep.

7. Eat according to your nutritional type. The potent anti-cancer effects of this principle are very much underappreciated. When we treat cancer patients in our clinic this is one of the most powerful anti-cancer strategies we have.

8. Reduce your exposure to environmental toxins like pesticides, household chemical cleaners, synthetic air fresheners and air pollution.

9. Limit your exposure and provide protection for yourself from radiation produced by cell phones, cell phone towers, base stations and WiFi stations.

10. Avoid frying or charbroiling your food. Boil, poach or steam your foods instead.

11. Have a tool to permanently reprogram the neurological short-circuiting that can activate cancer genes. Even the CDC states that 85 percent of disease is caused by emotions. It is likely that this factor may be more important than all the other physical ones listed here, so make sure this is addressed. One of the best approaches and my particular favorite tool is the Meridian Tapping Technique.

12. Eat at least one-third of your food raw. Personally my goal is 85% raw and I am usually able to achieve that.

You won’t read or hear much about these cancer-preventive techniques elsewhere because they have not been formally “proven” by conservative researchers. However, were you aware that 85 percent of therapies currently recommended by conventional medicine have never been formally proven either?

Now that’s something to think about.

  

With little effort on your part, these relatively simple risk reduction strategies can help you to virtually eliminate your cancer risk, and radically improve your chances of recovering from cancer if you currently have it. So go ahead and give them a try; you have nothing to lose and potentially everything, including your life, to gain.

Tips To Strengthen & Save Your Knees From Minor Pain

Tips To Strengthen & Save Your Knees From Minor Pain

When I first started my workout program, which began as daily dance performances when I was an entertainer, my knees hurt just about every day.

In my case, I simply did not have any prior muscle developments in my legs or abdomen to support my activities. My weak leg muscles and heavy body-weight contributed to a lot of pressure on my knees. I was told that losing extra weight would take the pressure off my knees. Yeah, well, the advice sounded like a catch 22.  How was I going to lose weight and dance without pain, if the dancing exercise was the cause of my pain?

 

If you experience knee pain, there’s a way to address it without feeling defeated. You can mindfully strengthen your knees while you continue to work toward your fitness and fat-loss goals.

First be well informed, whenever you have joint pain, it is best that you consult a physical therapist or physician to rule out a major structural issue that requires professional rehabilitation.

However, if you are cleared to exercise, by all means, get moving’ toward your goals.

Tips to save your knees if they hurt

Don’t run or jump

Don’t run or jump, instead use an elliptical trainer, ride the bicycle, strength train with a professional instructor, and opt for a low-impact aerobics class. If the class you want to take is built around fast direction changes, abrupt starts and stops, or stomping, just chill.  You need to modify all that stuff until your quads, hamstrings, and core get strong enough to support your knees.

Do yoga

Basic yoga classes offer balancing poses and core-building exercises that strengthen the whole body. Isometric training for legs (holding poses without moving) is one of the best ways to strengthen the knees.  Poses like downward dog, planks, and bridges improve your leg and core strength.  This poses also increase your muscle awareness and reinforce proper body alignment and stabilization.

 

Roll out with the foam roller, then stretch

Tight muscles around the knees can make you susceptible to injuries in the knees, hips, and back. The foam roller is a miracle tool. It will release all of the tight areas around your gluteus muscles, back, and legs.

Use the 36” foam roller to roll and gently massage the knots and adhesions in these areas. You will recognize the “knots” because they feel tender when you roll over them.

Roll each area for only 30 seconds to one minute.  Be aware not to roll till your legs turn to jelly, which can actually damage the tissues. After you roll out, stretch. You’ll be amazed by how much more flexible you are after using the foam roller.

And an extra thought to consider to save your knees

Your shoes could be causing your knees to hurt

Especially when the seasons change, we tend to change our shoes; for example, going from summer sandals to cold weather boots.  Your physical alignment shifts when the heel height and support from your shoe changes.  Your body needs time to adjust and re-align from your heel-to-knee-to-hip-to-back.

Sore Knees

Sore knees don’t have to be a setback. With the proper modifications, exercises, and a load of patience (it might take months for you to feel stronger), you can keep moving toward your fitness goals without interruption.

 

How To Cleanse Your Arteries Naturally?

Our body has its own detoxification mechanism, which cleanses and purifies the system in a complex but efficient way. Cleansing arteries is very important if you want a healthy heart. Moreover, a clean and unclogged arteries can also lower your blood pressure, and reduce inflammation, which are the main culprits of cardiovascular illness.

 

How to Cleanse your Arteries Naturally?

Listed below are some of the fruits and vegetables that will help cleanse your arteries and maintain a healthy heart.

Asparagus: Asparagus is one of the best vegetables for clearing arteries. Since it is full of fiber and minerals, and vitamins including K, B1, B2, C, and E, it helps to lower blood pressure and prevent blood clots that can cause serious cardiovascular illness.

Avocado: Studies have shown that the daily consumption of avocado result in improved blood cholesterol with a decrease in triglycerides and LDL of around 22% and an 11% increase in HDL – the “good” cholesterol that helps to keep arteries clear of obstructions.

Broccoli: Broccoli is another vegetable that is loaded with vitamin K which helps to prevent calcification or hardening of arteries. This super healthy veggie also offers a heart-healthy dose of fiber which helps to normalize blood-pressure and reduce stress that may cause tears (and eventually plaque build-up) in arterial walls.

Garlic: Studies have found that garlic can regress plaque buildup in the arteries, among many other potentially life-saving health benefits.

 

Pomegranate: This super healing fruit has been found to regress plaque buildup in the arteries as well as being demonstrated to provide dozens of validated health benefits, including replacing the function of the mammalian ovary

Other Foods: Other foods that can help you cleanse your arteries are Fermented Cabbage (Kimchi), Turmeric (curcumin), Sesame Seed, Coffee, Grapes, Cherries, Strawberries, Apples, Sweet Potatoes, and Green Tea.

How To Turn Gray Hair To Its Original Color Naturally?

Gray hair, according to new findings, is caused by a massive buildup of hydrogen peroxide due to wear and tear on hair follicles. All hair cells make a small amount of hydrogen peroxide, but as you age, the amount increases. Essentially, you bleach our hair pigment from within and your hair turns gray and then white. Natural remedies can treat effectively problems such as thinning hair and premature graying.

 

Home Remedies for Premature Graying of Hair:

Flaxseed Oil Mix:

Flaxseed oil is commonly used oil in Ayurveda, and is used for reversing the premature graying of hair.

Method of Preparation:

-Put 3 small cloves of garlic and 4 medium sized lemons in a blender and mix.

-After that, add the 7 oz /200 grams of flaxseed oil and 2.2 lbs / 1 kg of honey and mix again.

-Place the mixture in a glass bowl and tightly close it with a lid. Keep this mixture in the refrigerator.

-Consume one tablespoon of the mixture half an hour before meal. Use wooden spoon only.

-It is recommended to consume this mixture three times a day.

Indian Gooseberry or Amla:

Indian gooseberry plays an important role in Ayurveda regarding the hair problems. Amla helps proper and faster hair growth and further prevents your hair from premature graying. Amla helps to revitalize the pigmentation in your hair and cures the gray hair problem.

Onion Juice:

Onion juice can control or reverse graying of hair.

-Take onion juice and apply this on the scalp.

-Massage it gently and let it sit for about 40 – 60 minutes.

-You can also mix a little bit of lemon juice in this onion juice and then apply this on the scalp. Or simply rub the onion piece (that cut into half) on the scalp.

-Reapply this process daily for few weeks till you get relief from the hair problems including premature gray hair
