Why the Food Industry is Not Your Friend

In fact, if I were asked to sum up healthy weight control (and feeling good) in just ONE SENTENCE, here’s what I’d write: Prepare and cook your own food at home. Do not buy pre-prepared food of any kind. Buy only the meat, the fish, the vegetables, and learn to cook and serve them, like your Momma and Grandma did! The food industry doesn’t give a damn about your health. They have a totally different agenda: make money. That’s done by selling you as much food as possible and with the maximum profit margin possible. Translated that means sell you tons of worthless junk, that doesn’t cost as much to manufacture as “real” food does to grow or collect. But people are not totally […] Read More

Low vitamin D level predicts cognitive decline in older population

Older adults with deficiencies in vitamin D experience more rapid cognitive decline over time than those with adequate vitamin D levels. a study published Sept. 15 in the Journal of the American Medical Association-Neurology, Joshua Miller, professor of nutritional sciences at the Rutgers School of Environmental and Biological Sciences, found that people with low levels of vitamin D experienced rates of cognitive decline at a much faster pace than people with adequate vitamin D status. “There were some people in the study who had low vitamin D who didn’t decline at all and some people with adequate vitamin D who declined quickly,” said Miller. “But on average, people with low vitamin D declined two to three times as fast as those with adequate vitamin […] Read More

Mexico Rules Consumption and Cultivation of Cannabis is a Fundamental Human Right

Marco Torres, Prevent Disease The world is slowly but surely turning the page on one of the most fundamental rights we have on this Earth–the right to consume, cultivate and possess a plant. That right has been stripped away from many populations globally for decades. Days after voters in the US state of Ohio rejected a proposal to legalise cannabis for recreational use, Mexico has ruled that pot, whether smoking, consuming or cultivating is a fundamental human right. The Mexican Supreme Court ruled by 4 to 1 that banning the consumption and cultivation of cannabis for personal use violates the human right to free development of one’s personality. “This vote by Mexico’s Supreme Court is extraordinary for two reasons,” says Hannah Hetzer of the […] Read More

GMO Tomatoes May Soon Be Back on Supermarket Shelves

Natasha Longo, Prevent Disease The beloved tomato is the one fruit many still think is a vegetable. Few also realize that tomatoes were one of the first commercially available genetically modified (GM) crops ever. Under the guise of incorporating healthier and concentrated natural compounds, GM tomatoes are about to make a comeback on new research that aims to pack in the same amount of resveratrol as 50 bottles of red wine into one tomato. Earlier forms of this GM crop included the transgenic tomato (FlavrSavr) which had a “deactivated” gene. This meant that the tomato plant was no longer able to produce polygalacturonase, an enzyme involved in fruit softening. The premise was that tomatoes could be left to ripen on the vine and still […] Read More

Heart disease in women: Understand symptoms and risk factors

All women face the threat of heart disease. But becoming aware of symptoms and risks unique to women, as well as eating a heart-healthy diet and exercising, can help protect you. Although heart disease is often thought of as a problem for men, more women than men die of heart disease each year. One challenge is that some heart disease symptoms in women may be different from those in men. Fortunately, women can take steps to understand their unique symptoms of heart disease and to begin to reduce their risk of heart disease. Heart attack symptoms for women The most common heart attack symptom in women is some type of pain, pressure or discomfort in the chest. But it’s not always severe or even […] Read More

Gandhi Still Right After 90 Years: Vaccines Are Toxic, Unhealthy and Ineffective

Train the body to depend on a vaccine and it will do just that. Train the body to face disease, build immunity through clean air, water and food, and you will build incredible strength, cognition and natural immunity. These are my observations over the past five years, ditching pharmaceuticals, while facing sickness and strengthening natural immunity. You are more powerful than led to believe. Solely focusing on specific pathogens with unclean vaccines will make the body more susceptible to other diseases in the long run. Advancing human immunity should not be about the focus of individual diseases and the fear of death. Progressing human immunity should dive into the science of the human microbiome, the power of plant medicine and adaptogens. The commensal bacteria […] Read More

Your Gut: Home to an Entirely New Life Form?

A new genetic analysis of human gut bacteria is turning up some really weird critters—so weird, in fact, that some biologists are speculating we’ve found an entirely new domain of life. … here’s why it’s even being discussed: In the past ten years, new genomic technologies have, for the first time, enabled scientists to explore our microbiome—that trove of invisible critters that live on us and in us. Microbiome research is quite literally rewriting the textbooks on human biology, as we learn that everything from our mouths to our intestines to our skin is, in fact a complex and diverse ecosystem. Hell, we’re even surrounded in a personal cloud of bacteria. By some estimates, the human cells in your body are vastly outnumbered by […] Read More

Colbert Calls Out Ohio Gov. Kasich: You’re ‘Ruining People’s Lives’ by Locking Them Up For Marijuana

Stephen Colbert recently took on Ohio Governor and GOP presidential candidate John Kasich, over the Ohio marijuana legalization debate. The recent initiative to legalize marijuana in Ohio ultimately failed, after a group of corporate investors tried to amend the state constitution to prohibit entrepreneurs from getting in on the pot trade. The bulk of Ohio voters do, however, support marijuana legalizations, but not if it is tied to a corporate get-rich-quick scheme. “I know this is a dirty word when you’re running in the Republican primary, but you seem reasonable,” Colbert said on The Late Show. “We have a huge drug crisis in this country,” Kasich said. “Is it really pot, the drug crisis?” Colbert stopped him, adding that, “lots of people are going to jail for […] Read More
