A toothless face is not a pretty site. If you’re worried
about aging and ending up with sunken cheeks and
dentures, read on. Most people assume once you
become a senior, loosing your teeth is inevitable. Tooth loss is
common, but in majority of the cases, just like most things in
life, if you loose your teeth and end up with false teeth, you’re
probably the cause.
Feeling fulfilled in one’s work and
personal wellness is interconnected.
When we do things we feel passionate
about we enter into states of high energy that
promotes positive health, which involves one’s
mind, body and spirit. The mind engages in
subtle, complex and powerful interactions
with the body, so it comes as no surprise that
emotional and mental well-being are directly
linked to physical health.
To be whole or, healthy, means, our thoughts, feelings and actions are in harmony with each other. We are doing things in the world we find joy in and things that are in tune with our innermost feelings. This is especially important in our work lives, which accounts for nearly one half (or more) of our waking lives. True success in our work is not just by gaining material possessions or status. It is also measured by the feeling of high energy and exuberance we often experience in what we do and in what we give to others in the course of our work: that feeling in turn also nourishes our soul.
The latest form of environmental pollution—and one that
industry, government and wireless consumers don’t like
to acknowledge—may be the most devastating threat to
health yet: electromagnetic fields (EMFs). A few years ago, I was
so concerned that I took a certification course in the detection
and harmful effects of EMFs. What it taught me, above all,
was how much the scientific community is learning daily, and
how little we in the medical profession knew. This area was
both frightening and daunting in its scope. I’m grateful that
following Devra Davis’ Disconnect: The Truth About Cell Phone
Radiation we now have Zapped to educate the public on this
serious issue.
Holiday Health Risks
Written by Gloria Gilbère, DAHom, PhD
With the approaching holiday season, it’s time to gift yourself, and those you love, the gift of Health thru Education™.
Most individuals, specifically in the U.S., consume meals very high in fat during the holidays, never considering the health-depleting affects and potentially life-threatening consequences. Ah! Those gravies, sauces, butter and desserts can set up individuals for an event that just the name makes the hair on your arms stand to attention.
Anti-Aging Tip: Get in Sync with Zinc Take a multiple vitamin with at least 15 mg of zinc everyday. When you feel an illness coming on, boost your zinc intake to 50 mg daily.
Zinc is present in every tissue, organ, fluid, and
secretion of the body. In fact, it’s present in every
living cell. It plays a huge role in immunity (not to
mention cell division, DNA synthesis, growth and
development, and the activity of about 100 different
enzymes). And because the body has no specific storage sites
for zinc, you need to consume it on a daily basis.
Many of us don’t.
Do you have times where it’s like a light switch goes off, and your friends know they have three minutes to feed you or you will kill them? Do you crave sugar? These are symptoms suggesting that your body’s adrenal gland stress handling system is getting exhausted. Here’s how you can support your adrenal “stress handler,” so you can feel better.
If there is one disability that creates the greatest alarm for the baby boomer generation, it would be the loss of memory and brain functions. The concern is justified.
Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia now affect 97,000 Canadians, and by 2031 it is estimated that this number will rise to 750,000. Unfortunately, this is a worldwide trend with an estimated 24 million people presently diagnosed with dementia and an estimated 81 million predicted by 2040.
Are the various forms of dementia an inevitable consequence of aging or could they, in some instances, be symptomatic of an underlying (and overlooked) nutritional deficiency?
Wicked Candles: Are You Unknowingly Poisoning Your Health and Environment?
Written by Gloria Gilbère, DAHom, PhDUse This Simple Test to Identify Toxic Metals
Test for Toxic Metals
The National Candle Association says there is an easy way to test whether a candle has a lead core wick: Take an ordinary piece of white paper and rub it on the tip of an un-burnt wick. If the wick leaves a light grey pencil-like mark, it has a lead core. No mark, however, and the candle is lead-free.
Recently, a nutritional newsletter I subscribe to had the following headline: Vitamin D improves physical performance.
That got my attention.
I’ve long felt vitamin D is one of the most underrated vitamins on the planet, for reasons I’ll discuss in a bit. I’ve also long felt most of us are far too sun phobic for our own good. And the sun is our best source of vitamin D.
Aged garlic extract (Kyolic), is a natural garlic supplement made from organic garlic by the Wakunaga Company, in a long-term process of extraction and aging, at room temperature. While the fresh bulb is a wonderful herb, its lingering odor puts people off, thus depriving them of its many benefits. Aged garlic extract (AGE) is odorless, rich in beneficial organosulfur compounds and antioxidant activity and the favored preparation used in studies on garlic’s benefits. There are over 600 research publications showing the wide range of health effects of AGE, which include cardiovascular protection, anti-cancer and anti-aging effects. In addition, AGE has been found, in preclinical and clinical studies, to protect against the toxicity of free radical-producing environmental agents and drugs, such as acetaminophen.
