11 Bizarre Home Remedies Our Grandparents Taught Us That Actually Work

When I was a little girl, probably only about 3 or 4 years old, I had the unfortunate luck of getting bitten by a nasty spider. Thankfully, the critter wasn’t anything too awful that I had to be rushed to the hospital, but it sure wasn’t fun. But to tell you the truth, I quickly forgot all about the pain, and to this day only remember one thing: the strange home remedy my mom used, which she learned from her mom, to make the swelling go down and get me back in better spirits. It might sound strange, but I can tell you firsthand that slicing up a raw potato and wrapping an Ace bandage around the affected area really does the trick! After sleeping […] Read More

Poor oral health contributes to 6 common diseases

“Giving up junk food.” “Getting off the sofa.” “Quitting smoking.” These are the common, and beneficial, lifestyle changes that many people adopt when they become serious about avoiding heart disease and cancer.

Banish Cold Hands This Winter: Improve Blood Flow With These 10 Foods

It’s probably safe to say that most of us don’t consider our blood when we sit down to eat, or at least, maybe not directly. But our blood flow can affect all aspects of our health, in ways you might not expect it to. For instance, healthy, steady blood flow is needed for digestion, healthy circulation that leads to good heart health, energy, and even helping remove wastes that can become stagnant and contribute to weight gain and acidic pH levels in the body. Circulation of blood is also important for maintaining a healthy body temperature. Blood flow is improved through all forms of movement, along with certain foods and drinks in our diet.

Better than Organic 2

a Conversation with Agricola by Michael Astera Part II: (Bad) Science and the (Hopeful) Future Agricola: Let’s get back to “Why Organic isn’t Really Working and How it Can.” Q. Absolutely.
