Folic Acid

There are certain foods that contain folic acid and it is considered to be an essential nutrient for our health. Today I was reading an article concerning folic acid (folate). Folic acid is a significant B vitamin that should be included in your diet. It has been confirmed that getting the right amount of folate in your diet could very well protect you from newborn birth defects, colon cancer, heart disease, anemia and liver disease. Because this nutrient is involved in DNA function and repair, a deficiency could lead to certain types of health problems.

Make sure you get foods that contain folic acid. Some of these foods include orange juice, pineapple juice, whole grains, enriched bread and cereals. You could also opt for a quality vegan dietary supplement. It is recommended that 400 mcg of folic acid is a safe dose that can be taken on a daily basis.

Bentonite clay has been used as a medicinal alternative for centuries by many people around the world to restore health and vitality. It has been reported by naturopathic doctors that bentonite clay, known as medicinal clay is a detoxifier and intestinal cleanser that has the ability to remove dangerous toxins from the body and is very effective in healing your system from a number of health conditions. The name "Bentonite" was first originated from a clay that was found in cretaceous rocks in Fort Benton, Wyoming. "Bentonite" is a name based on a powdered medicinal clay, known as "montmorillonite," that was discovered in the city of France called Montmorillon. Professional published author of The Health Cure (Healing Arts Press, 1998) and health guru, Ran Knishinsky stated, "I have been eating dirt every day for the past six years."

He also stated that "drinking clay helped him eliminate painful cysts without having to undergo surgery." Bentonite healing clay is perceived as the medicinal form of dirt that is safe to be consumed. This fact is supported that this same type of dirt was eaten by tribes and animals as a source of their daily diet. Therefore in this regard, taking Bentonite for health is highly considered safe. Bentonite clay has a significant attribute. As we know, all forms of harmful bacteria are found in the body. Bentonite clay contains powerful minerals that are negatively charged and works like a magnet by attaching itself to these toxins and safely remove them from the body.

Epsom Salt for Weight Loss

Magnesium sulfate, which is commonly referred to as Epsom salt is an inorganic salt that consists of magnesium, sulfur and oxygen. Epsom salt has many valuable benefits when used externally and internally. It is an amazing salt that you can use regularly to support your health. If you are deficient in magnesium you can increase your levels by simply soaking in a magnesium rich, Epsom salt bath. We all know the importance of magnesium. It is the second most abundant mineral in our cells. Magnesium is a crucial mineral that plays an important role in the body’s functions such as eliminating toxins, providing energy, helping the body to regulate over 300 enzymes, and controlling various muscles in the body.

A deficiency of magnesium in the body can lead to stroke, stress disorders, heart disease, joint pain and a host of other health conditions. Studies have shown that magnesium is a mineral that is poorly absorbed. In order to obtain adequate levels of magnesium, you can soak in an Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate) bath for at least 15 minutes for three days per week. Taking the time to relax in a nice, warm Epsom salt bath is an effective way for you to optimize your health!

An accumulation of toxins in the body is a cause for weight gain. When ingested, Epsom salt also works as a laxative by safely removing dangerous toxins from the body. Taking Epsom salt orally and soaking in a detox bath are techniques that you can utilize to lose weight. While you soak in an Epsom salt detox bath you will begin to sweat. As a result, toxins are released through the pores in your skin. As the temperature of the warm water cools, the toxins are sweated or released through the pores.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Treatment

The Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy treatment has been used for many years by medical professionals. This is a very effective technique that provides the body with oxygen in order to promote healing. Typically, the air we breathe consists of 21 percent oxygen and 80 percent nitrogen. When you are placed in a hyperbaric chamber, you breathe an increased rate of 100 percent pure oxygen that gets transported into the blood, all the tissues, cells, and organs.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Uses

It is through the use of oxygen at increased atmospheric pressures that various health conditions can be successfully treated. If there is a deficiency of oxygen in the body, an increased flow of oxygen will reduce pain, the presence of infections, and bacterium. The Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy treatment has gained positive recognition in the medical community for treating people afflicted with Radiation Necrosis, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Lyme Disease, AIDS, and other degenerative diseases.

Natural Ways To Strengthen Your Teeth and Bones

What are the best natural ways to strengthen your teeth and bones? It is a known fact that excessive consumption of calcium has a potential to cause unwanted calcium deposits in the organs, tissues, and even bone weakness, which eventually leads to osteoporosis. We’ve all been told that a diet rich in magnesium and calcium (a ratio of 2:1, more magnesium than calcium) is essential for the maintenance of good bones and teeth. What other important nutrients should we consume?

Remineralizing Teeth and Bones Naturally

The horsetail herb is a good source of the mineral silica, and is regarded as an effective remedy for the strengthening of the bones. The horsetail herbs as well as the liquid ionic form of silica are both bio-available to help the bones heal at a quicker rate. When it comes to restoring teeth from decay, I discovered that a herbal combination of nettles, oatstraw, and horsetail supports the health of the teeth.

Holistic dental experts claim that drinking this tea on a regular basis helps to reverse the decay, enabling harder and stronger teeth! Silica is a powerful nutrient that helps mineral absorption, prevents bleeding gums, and the formation of cavities. Side Effects It is suggested by health professionals that a dose of 500 mg for maintenance, and 1.5 grams of organic horsetail is recommended to heal fractures, broken bones, or damage to the connective tissues. Although horsetail is generally safe when taken in the correct dose, it is advised that this herb should not be consumed in excessive amounts. Research has shown that when too much horsetail is consumed, an enzyme known as thiaminase destroys the level of thiamine (vitamin B1), there is a loss of potassium, muscle weakness, and other side effects.

Getting To The Root Of The Cause Did you know that a mineral deficiency is usually a causative factor for disease in the body? The depletion of minerals increase degenerative processes in the body. Implementing changes in a diet of excess sugar and over processed foods is the practical plan to obtain total health. A rich supply of vitamins, omega fatty acids, and alkalizing minerals that interact with each other will keep the body healthy and balanced.

Best Spices for your Health

I’m always researching information online to find the most effective foods and herbs that are able to kill and prevent the formation of cancer cells. Today I would like to talk about using spices that contain anti-tumor and anti-cancer properties. Spices contain phytochemicals that guard the body against diseases. Some of these spices are:

Cayenne- known as the hottest healer and has therapeutic benefits. The active ingredient in cayenne (capsaicin) is known to be a powerful source that kills cancer cells in the body. Using a small amount of cayenne each day can be very effective.

Rosemary is proven to be a very powerful protector against various forms of cancer. Rosemary can be used to make tea or as a great spice to enhance the flavor of your favorite dishes.

Garlic and Onions serve as a potent protection from cancer since they both contain sulfur compounds that have been tested to lower blood pressure, increase the immune system, fight cancer cells, and so much more.

Turmeric is known as India’s amazing medicinal plant. It contains a compound called curcumin that helps to heal ulcers, prevent heart disease, protect the liver, and to reduce the risk of cancer.

The Important Role of Magnesium

There is a significance of having sufficient magnesium in the body and there is a connection between heart attacks and magnesium. I was surprised to learn that magnesium is a very important factor to prevent heart attacks from occurring and it is also vital for other functions in the body. Here is a list containing certain symptoms if you are deficient in magnesium.

* Anxiety

* IBS

* Asthma

* Constipation

* Headaches and Migraines

* Irregular beating of the heart

* Muscle Twitching

* Stress

* Heart Palpitations

Research has shown that magnesium has a calming effect inside the body. It is noted that when an individual has a heart attack, the first thing they are administered is magnesium. Why is this? Magnesium is a key nutrient that is effective in relaxing the heart muscle and other muscles in the body. For those who suffer from excessive stress and other emotional disorders, if you are deficient in magnesium, chances are you might increase your risks of a heart attack. It is very important to introduce magnesium in your daily diet. Gel capsules are more easily absorbed than tablets. You can also eat magnesium rich foods such as bananas, almonds, watermelon, dates, blackberries, green beans and navy beans
