Treat Your Conditions Naturally |
|
Sunday, 04 November 2007 |
 By Elena Voropay Nowadays, it is hard to find a completely healthy person who doesn't have any kind of ailment or condition. At one time or another, our bodies just get out of sync, so we seek some kind of balancing help. Unfortunately, most turn to harsh invasive treatments in order to help our bodies heal. However, these cause undesirable side effects and bring us additional problems. The easiest way to prevent this is to determine the cause of your condition and look at your diet and make sure it has all the essential nutrients your body deserves to keep itself in complete health. Essential nutrients are those nutrients derived from food that the body is unable to manufacture on its own. These are absolutely necessary for human life and include eight amino acids, at least thirteen vitamins, fifteen minerals, plus certain fatty acids, water, and carbohydrates. |

You've probably heard of not so infamous Mediterranean Diet. I bet the first things that come to mind are olive oil, garlic and wine. Is that all they eat? Of course not. But whatever the magic foods they choose, Mediterraneans live longer, have lower risk of developing heart disiese and cancer, and the word "obesity" is almost unknown in this area. In fact, many dietitians recommend this diet to anyone striving to lose a few pounds, improve blood cholesterol, or simply to become 'energized'. And the best part is that it feels next to intuitive, and you don't have to count calories or fat grams. |

By Elena Voropay Back in high school chemistry, we learned about pH: acids have low numbers, alkalines have high numbers, a pH of 7.0 is neutral, and it all is related to the concentration of hydrogen ions present in a substance and pH refers to the "power of Hydrogen. If it means absolutely nothing to you now and you can't find application of this information in terms of day-to-day life, you are missing out on a big chunk of knowledge.
Human blood in the healthy state is slightly alkaline, with a normal pH level of between 7.35 and 7.45 at the cellular level, except for the digestive tract (excluding the mouth) and urinary tract - these are slightly acidic. The digestive tract needs acidity for breaking down foods, while the job of your urinary tract is to excrete the acidic by-products of metabolism and renovate the system with balanced alkaline foundation. |

Recipes |
 Delicious dessert on a diet? And this is not even
your 'cheat day', because what I have here is soooo nutritious,
healthy, yummy, and suits even low-carb dieters! Takes one minute to
make, no cooking required, and is 100 percent better than ice cream. In
fact, this Ricotta Cream has all the essential amino acids, friendly
bacteria, calcium, vitamin D, and a generous amount of 20 grams of
protein. Can you imagine all of the that for the caloric price of half
a slice of apple pie? Ok, I have to admit - it is my absolute favourite
dessert that I eat whenever I have ricotta in the fridge - and I always
have ricotta in the fridge. Try using vanilla, cinnamon or chocolate
instead of lemon zest - all of these win my heart. |

 By Elena Voropay Dreaming permits each and every one of us to be quietly and safely insane every night of our lives
Charles Fisher, M.D.
Don't you wish that there would be more than 24 hours in a day? As your
never-ending list of "things to do" grows longer, the most likely part
of your day-to-day life to suffer a cut is a good healthy night sleep.
After all, you may have all the reasons to think that sinking one third
of the day into the oblivion is a terrible waste of time. For William
Shakespeare, sleep was "the death of each day's life," and many of us
follow his approach. However, modern science shows that we need to
reevaluate our perspectives on the sleep cycle. Sleep is a very
powerful tool in restoring and maintaining our health, both emotional
and physical. |

Inspiration |
Today Yoga is used as a maintenance tool for the Mind-Body-Spirit. But
it is so much more than that. You can go to a kick-boxing class and get
immediate benefit to the fullest extent it can offer. Regular Pilates
training will show its benefits by making you stronger and more
centered. But Yoga has its own life which goes beyond any fitness
routine. The postures and stretches, breathing exercises, and
meditation practices are all designed to integrate a person's mind,
body, and spirit. Yoga can form the basis for an entire physical,
mental and spiritual fitness program or it can be the flexibility
component of a balanced physical fitness program. It's emphasis on good
breathing can make meditation more effective. Research into yoga
practices has and continues to have a strong impact on the fields of
stress reduction, mind-body medicine, and energy medicine. |
