CRUCIFEROUS VEGETABLES AND BLOOD VESSELS

As I've said in my Whole Detox and The Rainbow Diet books, eating green is for heart health. Here is a recent study in which they showed that eating cruciferous vegetables resulted in less build-up of calcium in the vessels of women. And the amount you need to eat is not very much, just ¼ cup of steamed broccoli or ½ cup of raw cabbage, which resulted in a 46% reduced build-up of calcium on their aorta compared to those eating none or very little every day.

With growing appreciation for the gut microbiome's role in maintaining human health, concern has risen that antibiotics may perturb and permanently alter these fragile microbial communities.

This could potential impact the risk of gastrointestinal disease.

In what is the largest study thus far linking antibiotic therapy and risk of IBD, researchers in Sweden and the U.S. were able to more definitively demonstrate that more frequent use of antibiotics was associated with the development of IBD and its subtypes, ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease.

"I think this affirms what many of us have suspected—that antibiotics, which adversely affect gut microbial communities, are a risk factor for IBD," said lead author, Dr. Long Nguyen at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Boston, U.S.

Antibiotics use, particularly antibiotics with greater spectrum of microbial coverage, may be associated with an increased risk of new-onset inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and its subtypes ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. That is according to a study by researchers at Karolinska Institutet....

The discovery may provide a new understanding of why immunotherapy, a treatment for cancer that hel...

A normal blood test doesn't mean your well, healthy or in a optimal range 🙄 If things don't feel right or you feel something is off, then you're probably right.
There a numerous integrative tests that can be done by a Naturopath to determine other potential underlying health issues or to simply determine if your levels are in the best zone possible and if they're not, there is always something that can be done.

A diet high in sugar increases skin aging (wrinkles), increases the risk of depression by 58%, reduces sexual health for both men and woman, increases the risk of heart attacks and strokes, increases inflammation and can contribute to long term weight issues to name a few. Is it really worth it? Probably not!

Zinc is the second-most-abundant trace mineral in your body — after iron — and is present in every cell.
Zinc is necessary for the activity of over 2000 enzymes that aid in metabolism, digestion, nerve function and many other processes.
In addition, it’s critical for the development and function of immune cells.
This mineral is also fundamental to skin health, DNA synthesis and protein production.
What’s more, body growth and development relies on zinc because of its role in cell growth and division.
Zinc is also needed for your senses of taste and smell. Because one of the enzymes crucial for proper taste and smell is dependent on this nutrient, a zinc deficiency can reduce your ability to taste or smell.
