Raw cruciferous vegetables & Bladder cancer

Posted by youngaga On July - 22 - 2008Comments Off

Welcome to our natural health blog.

An article by Mike Adams reveals some life-changing health information!

Here are some salient points he makes:

Eating just three small servings of raw cruciferous vegetables per month, such as broccoli and cabbage, has been found to decrease the risk of developing bladder cancer by upto 40 percent, is the conclusion reached by researchers from the Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo. The study is one of several that has added to the evidence that raw fruits and vegetables dramatically lower cancer risk.

However, the researchers did not find a protective benefit from eating the same quantity of cooked cruciferous vegetables. This suggests that the anti-cancer properties of cruciferous vegetables are destroyed by cooking.

Cruciferous vegetables are widely consumed in the world, accounting for 10 of the most popular vegetable foods. The family includes cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower, arugula, Brussels sprouts, collard greens, daikon, garden cress, horseradish, kale, kohlrabi, mustard, radish, rape (canola), rapini, rutabaga, tatsoi, turnip, wasabi and watercress.

These vegetables are known to be high in important nutrients such as vitamin C and selenium. They also contain hundreds of plant compounds that are known to fight cancer, including isothiocyanates.

Isothiocyanates inhibit both cancer and tumor development by directly blocking the carcinogenic action of free radicals. They prevent free radicals from attacking healthy cells and turning them cancerous.

These plant-based medicines, however, are delicate molecules that are easily destroyed by heat. Cooking these foods obliterates the medicine they contain. So does food irradiation, by the way: Microwaving broccoli destroys up to 98% of its phytonutrients, including its anti-cancer nutrients.

Ninety percent of bladder cancers occur along the inner lining. Chemotherapy is useless against bladder cancer. In fact, chemotherapy is highly toxic to the bladder and kidneys, causing cellular damage that actually leads to more cancer later on.

The conclusion to all this is that consuming raw fruits and vegetables is a very powerful way to halt degenerative disease, stop cancer, reverse diabetes, end heart disease and enhance your health.  So visit your local grocery store, and shop organic if possible.

Coconut Oil & Weight Loss

Posted by youngaga On July - 16 - 2008Comments Off


Hello there!

One reliable source of natural health information that I rely on, is Dr Ben Kim.

 

He sent me an interesting article on the important benefits of coconut oil, and he asked that the advice be shared with others.

 

So here are the basic points:

 

A significant risk factor for developing poor blood

circulation anywhere in your body is being too heavy

for your physical structure.

 

There are a number of health issues related to being overweight.

 

If you need to get lighter to improve blood flow,

get healthier, and look more attractive, you might want to try including

some coconut oil in your diet.

 

Coconut oil is rich in medium chain fatty acids that

can serve as an almost immediate source of energy,

and that might actually speed up your metabolism.

 

When people consume one to three

teaspoons of coconut oil before each meal, they

tend to move towards their optimal weight.

 

 

Of course, working towards your healthiest weight

requires that you eat healthfully and that you are

physically active.

 

And a little coconut oil before meals will curb your hunger.

 

Coconut oil is also extremely effective as a

moisturizer, hair conditioner, and as a soothing,

healing ointment for cuts and wounds.

and how to very effectively lose weight, visit slim and trim.

 

To your good health and vision for life.

Teeth, Gums, Heart disease and Weight-loss link

Posted by youngaga On July - 9 - 2008Comments Off

Welcome back!

Here is another reason to practice dental hygiene,

other than to have a dazzling smile!

Did you know that infected teeth and gums can

accelerate heart disease?

Intensive research has been underway on the subject

after more and more studies began to connect periodontal

(gum) disease and heart disease.

 

Researchers studying the connection between oral health

and cardiac health have turned up the following facts:

 

* The rate of heart disease was found to increase

proportionate to tooth loss

 

* Intensive treatment of periodontal disease may

reverse atherosclerosis or hardening of the arteries.

 

* Bacteria associated with gum disease can enter the

bloodstream and cause serious infections in people with

heart defects and artificial valves

 

However, it would be wise to bear in mind that although bad oral

hygiene is unlikely to be the primary cause of heart disease,

it may rapidly exacerbate a pre-existing condition.

 

So, why take a chance?  Following good oral hygiene will help

your heart and your teeth and gums most certainly!

A proven product that thousands are switching to is toothsoap.

Once used, nobody goes back to toothpaste, because of the

remarkable results it gives. Roshmi & I highly recommend it!

Best of all, at present you will automatically get a 30% discount
at the shopping cart – no code to enter.

 

And here’s a positive twist that we were unaware of!

A happy user claims toothsoap helps with weight control!

 

“The main reason I am sending this to you is

about brushing my teeth.  After eating I brush,

[with Tooth Soap], after dinner I floss and brush,

I believe it curbs your appetite.  When your mouth

is clean your cravings go away.  I have given this

tip to so many people and they always tell me later

they never thought of it but it helps. It is soooo

simple. Happy Trails,”  F.

 

However, if you want more scientific information on what

causes weight gain, and how to safely achieve rapid weight

loss, visit our weightloss page.

 

To your good health and vision – for life.
