Nutrients for brain health

John Gibb

The brain is clearly one of the most important parts of our body. With many of the processes and functions of the brain still not fully understood, it can be difficult to tell exactly what you need to help make it function properly. There are some supplements on the market, however, which clearly display a remarkable effect on the health of this crucial organ. Here are a few of them:



Fish Oil:

Harvested from the bodies of fish, fish oil is purified through a scientific process and turned into supplement form. Containing Omega-3 fatty acids, fish oil can have numerous effects on your body for the better. For one, fish oil can aid in preventing the onset of Alzheimer's disease. It has also been associated with better memory, clearer thinking, and health of the heart. One of the best nutrients for brain health, this supplement's effect on your body can be vast.



Be sure to only purchase pharmaceutical grade fish oil, however, since this is the process which removes the heavy metals found in fish due to pollutants. If your fish oil is not pharmaceutical grade, you run the risk of consuming such dangerous materials as mercury.



St. John's Wort:

A remedy for depression that has been used for centuries, this naturally occurring substance has far less side-effects than the anti-depressants offered by the drug companies. All but proven to elevate moods and ward off depression, this herb is rapidly gaining validity as an anti-depressant in the scientific community. It can be purchased in supplement format.



Gingko Biloba:

Harvested from the oldest species of tree naturally occurring on the planet, Gingko can help keep your brain in its finest working condition. Used for over 5,000 years, ginkgo is known for its help in aiding memory loss and age-related circulation problems. Studies show that ginkgo may help increase blood flow to the brain and stimulate neural activities, resulting in better short-term memory.

Noni Fruit Juice: Healthy or Still Unknown?

Armen Hareyan

Noni Fruit Juice is a natural food and is called a health product buy many. Noni fruit grows mainly in Polynesian Island, on a Morinda Citrifolia tree, and the Tahitian Noni Fruit Juice is the most famous and renowned.

Considerations when looking for Noni Fruit Juice.

Good Noni fruit juice should be:

100% pure, undiluted Noni Juice

Noni Fruit only, but not leaves or roots are juiced

No rotten fruit is used

No Pesticides or Herbicides are used

Not all Noni Juices are the same. As the saying goes You pay for what you get. Cheaper and poorer quality Noni juices can cut corners by using rotten Noni fruits, diluting it with water or juices, using poor processing and dealing with bacterial problems by irridation and fumigation and using old dirty storage containers.

Dr. Wm McPhilamy, in "Noni and Addictions: A Way Out" writes very descriptively about Noni fruit juice. "Noni's ability to sustain cell flow through is why this juice has such a beneficial effect and gives long – lasting relief. Once in the cell, noni permits harmful substance such as lactic acid, uric acid, and other toxins to actually 'flow out' of the cell, while at the same time allowing its own nutraceuticals to 'flow in.' This, quite obviously, prevents pressure buildup in the cells that cause inflammation in the joints and in many other areas. It also can boost T-cell counts."

However, there is also a skeptical view on Health and Noni Fruit.

The New England Sceptical Society holds the view that "Tahitian Noni Juice is just the latest in a long history of snake oil remedies. This movement, like those before it, has all of the features of a quack remedy with a contemporary flavor. I will review the characteristic features of the marketing of such quack remedies and indicate for each characteristic how the Noni-juice phenomenon fits the mold exactly."

The author of this article does not endorse of these two particular views, but aims to show them equally and requires discernment. The Noni Fruit phenomenon is still pretty new and it will take time until more in-depth studies will be done by the mainstream medicine or the consumer protection agencies.

However, we also know that Natural Health products, and Noni Fruit being one of them, have gained considerable weight and acceptance among the consumers, and despite the present skepticism, Noni Fruit Juice may well be the next Natural Health phonemenon that will be beneficial for the public.

Not Now, I Have A Headache

Doug Smith

Copyright 2005 by Doug Smith

Home Remedies - Facts or Quacks?

That's what I recently asked myself. Myths and legends often
have their basis in a grain of truth. So I wondered if home
remedies, alternative treatments, and folklore cures might
also be based on truth. A little research provided this
unusual perspective on one of our most frequently-used
medicines.

Barking Up The Wrong Tree?

Not if it's a willow tree! Chewing on willow bark to reduce
fever and inflammation dates back to the time of Hippocrates
(400 BC). Willow bark was used as a medicine in China and
Europe for centuries because of its ability to relieve pain
and lower fever. Early American settlers even found Native
Americans gathering bark from willow trees to treat the same
conditions.

What's So Special About Willow Bark?

Willow trees, including the white, black, purple and violet
species, contain a chemical called salicin. Chewing or pulping
this bark releases the salicin, which the body converts to
salicylic acid. Salicylic acid is still used today to treat
fevers, decrease inflammation, and even help heart disease.
There's no need to gnaw on a tree like a beaver every time you
have a headache. Today this chemical is produced synthetically
as acetylsalicylic acid. Perhaps you know it by its more
common name...

Aspirin!

That's right - centuries of chewing on willow bark led to
the creation of one of our most widely-used medicines: aspirin.
This is definitely one home remedy I would classify as a fact,
not a quack.

It makes me wonder though: how many trees did they have to
chew on before they found the right one?

Natural Ways To Treat Diabetes

Gray Rollins

Diabetes is a disease caused when the body does not properly produce insulin. Seven percent of the population in the United States has diabetes. There are two types of the disease. Type one diabetes is where the body does not produce insulin and type two is where the body resists insulin. The majority of people diagnosed with this disease have type two. Symptoms of diabetes include extreme thirst, hazy vision, excessive hunger, weight fluctuation, fatigue and frequent urination. Diabetes is often controlled with insulin and prescription drugs, but diet and exercise play a large part in the ability to control the disease. There are also herbs that can help reduce the effects of diabetes.

Ensure a healthy diet by concentrating on foods such as vegetables, grains, fiber and legumes. These foods will help regulate sugar in the blood stream. Avoid junk food and foods that contain sugar such as cakes, cookies and other sweets. Alcohol, tobacco and caffeine should also be avoided to maintain a nourishing diet.

Exercise helps promote good health and combats against the negative effects of diabetes. It is important to exercise regularly and keep an appropriate weight. People who are inactive or overweight have a higher risk factor for diabetes and are prone to suffer from more side effects caused by the disease. It is especially important to exercise to build muscle. Starting a weight program will increase muscle mass which will increase sensitivity to insulin.

There are many herbal remedies recognized for their therapeutic properties of treating diabetes. They are commonly found in pharmacies and grocery stores and can be a great natural remedy. Prickly pear cactus has shown positive results in the treatment of this disease and was recently recognized by the International Diabetes Center as a viable natural remedy. Bitter Melon has been used for years in Asia, Africa and South America for treatment. Garlic will reduce sugar levels and is a healthy way to add flavor to food while benefiting from its curative traits. Other common herbs are ginseng, psyllium, fenugreek, bilberry, dandelion and burdock.

Vitamin supplements are frequently used to help treat diabetes with the most commonly recommended ones being vitamins B6, C and E. Also, zinc, selenium, alpha lipoic acid, chromium and vanadium are commonly used. Rather than take individual supplements, some patients opt for a multivitamin to add to their diet.

Diabetes is a disease that affects a large portion of the population. The risks associated with it are serious but can be controlled with lifestyle change. Ensuring a well balanced diet and good exercise routine will help in preventing side effects. Also, proper use of herbs, vitamins and natural remedies will help prevent the necessity for more traditional means of medication.

Natural Vision Improvement Is Possible

Ruth Bird

Natural Vision Improvement is a possible method of improving
eyesight by wholistic means without the use of optical devices.



There are special optical exercises and vision-improvement
techniques that can help you regain the elasticity that your
eyes once had and the clear, natural vision that you remember
from years ago.



There's just one thing: You have to do the exercises!



And when you do the exercises, in just a few weeks (sometimes
even days), you'll begin to notice tremendous improvements in
your vision.



Natural methods discuss how the powerful tools of the Method can
contribute to the field of natural vision improvement. This
helps people with natural techniques in vision improvement and
holistic vision care. As long as you are available to change,
natural vision improvement is a simple process, it is. Check out
the different vision therapy suppliers.



Learn more about natural vision improvement and Natural vision
improvement programs. If you are serious about improving your
eyesight, read the most-recommended books by the pioneer of
natural vision improvement. A course in natural vision
improvement, without glasses or laser eye surgery. There are a
couple of books to check out on natural vision improvement if
you are interested in that alternative. Start enjoying natural
vision improvement. Improve Vision: natural vision correction
for natural vision improvement. Try a natural vision correction
program for natural vision improvement.



There is an amazing program out on the internet. Again, look
into the different vision therapy suppliers available. Then,
make your decision and go with it.



There is a lot that can be learned on vision improvement.
Choosing a natural vision improvement program is a good way to
start your vision improvement. There are also many natural
vision improvement supplements.



Imagine enjoying the newspaper without searching the house for
your glasses. Or celebrating at a special restaurant without
having to hold the menu at arm's length.



There's the controversial question :If natural vision training
is so effective and has so many endorsements, then why do most
people get Lasik surgery or corrective lenses instead? And
here's the answer...In 1998, it was estimated that the U.S.
optical industry was worth $30.2 billion (Vision Council of
America, 1999). This number included such items as exam fees and
office visits, surgical fees, ophthalmic pharmaceuticals, retail
eyewear sales, and retail sales for consumables such as contact
lens solutions.



Now ask yourself this question: If vision training were
presented as a viable option to remedy eye disorders, would
there be a need for consumers to spend thousands of dollars
every year on the products and services that create profits for
the eye-care industry?



How have thousands of people improved their vision naturally if
bad vision is a genetic problem? *Why is near-point stress
defined as a leading cause of nearsightedness if nearsightedness
is a genetic condition?



The fact is, the data is in, and times and beliefs are changing.
There are many eye doctors that now support eye exercises and
their role in natural vision improvement. You can learn these
eye exercises and vision improvement techniques. It's all you
need to begin reversing the damage that has been done to your
eyes.



Whether you're nearsighted, have an astigmatism, or have "aging
eyes," there is a customized program specifically for your
condition included in the Vision Improvement programs.
