Coping with COPD [Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease] Naturally

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic disease characterized by shortness of breath, cough and sputum production. While symptoms of the disease do not usually appear in people younger than age 55 years, changes to the lung begin many years earlier. COPD is an umbrella term for a number of diseases which include chronic bronchitis and emphysema. COPD, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, is a progressive disease that makes it hard to breathe. "Progressive" means the disease gets worse over time.

Vitamin K The Missing link

Vitamin K1 is also known as phylloquinone or phytomenadione (phytonadione), while vitami K2 includes menaquinone and menatetrenone. Vitamin K2 is typically produced in the large intestine by bacteria. Unless the individual has intestinal damage which undermines their ability to absorb the vitamin, dietary deficiency is extremely rare. In some cases, administering a broad spectrum antibiotic long-term may reduce the vitamin-producing bacteria population. Vitamin K is crucial for proper blood coagulation (clotting) it helps make 4 of the 13 proteins required for blood clotting.

Type 3 Diabetes The Next Global Epidemic

Type 3 Diabetes is when the brain stops or reduces the acceptance of the brain's secreted insulin within the brain's cell receptors. Diabetes type 1 and type 2 derive from the decline of insulin produced within the pancreas to the point where there is no insulin produced. Yet, in recent years, scientists have found that insulin is also produced within the brain. This has led to the recognition of diabetes type 3 in 2005.

The Connection betwee Diabetes, Beta Endorphins and Obesity

Our bodies produce thousands of chemicals that control impulses necessary for everyday function and sensory navigation. Endorphins, a multi-functional chemical, are emitted to counteract and deal with sensations by transmitting electrical impulses through the body to the nervous system. One of their duties is to help combat pain, much in the same way as morphine or codeine does. Endorphins are also responsible for producing the euphoric feeling one usually experiences after sex, or after an intense work out (often referred to as runners-high).

Why Vitamin B5 [Pantothenic Acid]is an essential vitamin?

Vitamin B5, or Pantothenic Acid, is an essential vitamin required by the body for cellular processes and optimal maintenance of fat. A deficiency of vitami B5 is rare, however, when it does occur is usually seen in the form of irritability, fatigue, apathy, numbness, paresthesia, and muscle cramps. It can also lead to increased sensitivity to insulin, or hypoglycemia. Pantothenic Acid, Vitamin B5, is a water soluble vitamin that is well regulated by the body, thus overdose is rare, and may only be noticed in the form of slight digestive complaints or diarrhea.

What is the best Essential Omega do I need daily to prevent heart disease?

Based on our evolutionary history, the ideal ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 in the diet is 1:1. Our ancestors evolved over millions of years eating that way. However, our modern diet has skewed the ratio significantly. A hundred years ago, the average American ate less than one pound of vegetable oil per year. Today, the average American eats more than 75 pounds of these polyunsaturated omega-6 fats each year. So, instead of the ideal 1:1 ratio, most people consume anywhere from 20 to 50 times more omega-6 than omega-3 fatty acids!

Natural Treatment for Heart Bu

When it comes to treating heartburn, the first treatment option your doctor will most likely discuss with you is a "no medication" approach. This will usually involve lifestyle modifications and dietary changes. Other people have opted for home remedies to treat their heartburn. If these methods either don't work or aren't effective enough, however, you can discuss with your doctor the various types of medications you can use. The available medications, discussed in further detail below, include antacids, H2 blockers, and proton pump inhibitors.

Magnesium, The missing link

Magnesium is a mineral that is present in relatively large amounts in the body. Researchers estimate that the average body contains about 25 grams of magnesium, and about half of that is in the bones. Magnesium is important in more than 300 chemical reactions that keep the body working properly. People get magnesium from their diet, but sometimes magnesium supplements are needed if magnesium levels are too low. Dietary intake of magnesium may be low, particularly among women.

Natural Solution to Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis and low bone mass are currently estimated to be a major public health threat. Adequate nutrition plays a major role in the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis; the micro nutrients of greatest importance are calcium and vitami D. Calcium has been shown to have beneficial effects on bone mass at all ages, although the results are not always consistent. Higher doses than the current US recommendation (1000 IU) of vitami D in the elderly (age above 65 years) may actually be required for optimal bone health (1500 IU/d).

Reduce Red Meat consumption to prevent Heart Disease & Cancer

There is a strong scientific evidence that reducing the consumption of Red Meat can reduce the incidence of both Heart Disease as well as Cancer. Nutritionists hardly need more evidence about the potentially negative health effects of eating red meat. For starters, the saturated animal fat in red meat contributes to heart disease and atherosclerosis. Recent research also shows that frequent red meat eaters face twice the risk of colon cancer as those who indulge less often. Red meat is also thought to increase the risks of rheumatoid arthritis and endometriosis.

Integrative Approach for BPH Benign Prostate Hyperplasia

The prostate is a male reproductive gland that produces the fluid that carries sperm during ejaculation. It surrounds the urethra, the tube through which urine passes out of the body. An enlarged prostate means the gland has grown bigger. Prostate enlargement happens to almost all men as they get older. As the gland grows, it can press on the urethra and cause urination and bladder problems. An enlarged prostate is often called benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or benign prostatic hypertrophy. It is not cancer, and it does not raise your risk for prostate cancer. Common Symptoms:r
