“MY BODY CRASHED…TWICE” (THEN YOGA HAPPENED)

Due to the overstimulation of my nervous system from training, insane amounts of caffeine, mental and emotional stress, I developed digestive problems, debilitating fatigue, major anxiety (with panic attacks), depression, disrupted sleep, blood sugar imbalances, weight gain and body dysmorphia. But I got better – thanks to yoga.

Q: Tell us about the path that led you to plant-based fitness and the decision to compete in your first bodybuilding competition.

I have always been an active person, participating in sports from netball and athletics to dancing in its many forms. I began hitting the gym when I started university and loved how lifting weights strengthened my body and my mind. I have a strong mind-body connection, so I saw results quickly and became hooked.

After I switched to a vegan diet, I was hesitant at first to continue lifting weights as I thought I wouldn’t be getting enough protein (how humorous now). I educated myself and realized that I had nothing to worry about in terms of nutritional deficiencies, and decided to compete!

Q: Tell us about the past two years of recovering from bad coaching and how you got back on track.

In 2013, I had a great debut year in bodybuilding as a bikini athlete, ending the year as the Australian Novice Bikini Champion and placing third in the world as a Bikini Novice at the PNBA Natural Olympia.

“Throughout my first competitive year I looked great, but I was very unhappy.”

I trained two to four hours per day, worked a full-time job (plus a ton of overtime), was eating around 1000 calories per day, and averaging four hours sleep per night.

I burnt out fast, and to keep me going, I was consuming pre-workout drinks just to keep functioning at baseline.

My coach did not have time to properly coach me, my progress wasn’t tracked, my food wasn’t tracked or adjusted, my training programs weren’t modified, and I didn’t know any differently.

“I trusted wholeheartedly, and I gave 110 percent; in fact, I gave too much in many ways, mentally, physically, emotionally, and my body crashed … twice.”

The first time was in the middle of the competitive year and again at the end. I had exhausted my adrenals; they couldn’t keep up with the amount of stress I was putting my body and my mind under.

Due to the overstimulation of my nervous system from training, insane amounts of caffeine, and mental and emotional stress, I developed digestive problems, debilitating fatigue, major anxiety (with panic attacks), depression, disrupted sleep, blood sugar imbalances, weight gain, and body dysmorphia.

It took 14 months for my body to believe I wasn’t starving it and to stop holding and gaining fat. I had to reduce weight lifting and eventually stopped, which was a total mind-f*ck.

Towards the end of 2013, I’d freak out when I had to force myself to have a rest day, so stopping training all together was extremely difficult and made even more so when you have a nasty inner critic constantly calling you fat and a failure … enter body dysmorphia.

In those healing 14 months, I learned how to be patient and truly love my body, by trusting and appreciating its innate intelligence and healing abilities. I took up yoga, which helped to ground and reconnect me with my body.

I am happy to say my body is trusting me again, and after a lot of research, I have begun training again with a high carbohydrate approach to my diet and training.

Q: What do you like the most about competing? The least?

I love training and dieting with a goal in sight. I very much enjoy setting and achieving goals. It’s so satisfying when you begin to see small changes each week in your body. I enjoy pushing my body just past my self-perceived upper limit; going one or two reps past what you thought you could is incredibly satisfying.

I also love comp day: getting dolled up, wearing a smashing bikini and heels, then getting up on stage and turning it out feels amazing. After prepping for months, it’s great to have a bit of fun on stage and really allow yourself to shine.

I don’t like the post-comp come-down. There is such a long buildup to comp day, then it’s over. It can be emotionally difficult.

Q: Describe what you normally eat in a day.

At the moment:

• Breakfast – spelt oats with nutmilk and maybe some dates/banana for breakfast
• Lunch – a starchy carb (sweet potato, potato, rice or quinoa) with veggies
• Dinner – legumes (beans, lentils, or chickpeas and veggies
• Snacks – 1-1.5 L of green smoothie (water, cucumber, spinach/kale, lime/lemon, or grapefruit) and fruit (berries, rockmelon, or banana)
• Supplements – plant-based protein powder (if required)
• Water – 2-3 L of chlorine and fluoride-free filtered water

Q: What are the three biggest trends you see in bodybuilding right now?

I have kept bodybuilding at a distance for the past two years, but:

Firstly, what I do see is many people dabbling with the use of peptides to increase muscle growth and performance.

Secondly, there seems to be many people wanting to be social media famous for their fitness lifestyles these days – no judgment, just an observation.

Lastly, there is a massive surge in the amount of women competing in all bodybuilding categories, which is fantastic!

Q: How do you relax and refocus?

Pranic breathing used in yoga is the easiest way for me to relax. It slows and calms the nervous system; having increased oxygen flowing through your body is incredibly relaxing.

I am all about moving meditation that keeps you focused in the present moment and allows you to be and let go of the world. For this, I practice yoga (vinyasa flow and yin) and I dance.

Also, anything to do with nature is very high on my list of relaxation tools; being on the beach or amongst trees and animals is very grounding for me.

Q: Who (person/people) has inspired you the most in your life? What top three experiences have been pivotal in making you the woman you are today?

My mum told me from a very young age that I could succeed in anything I put my mind to, no matter the circumstances.

I believed her and I have always excelled at whatever task or goal I set myself, because I believe with absolute conviction in my own abilities.

Life is full of many turning points and lessons.

If I had to pick three experiences that have shaped the person I am today, they would be experiencing racism at an early age (my mother is Australian and my father is Chinese).

As a child, I could not understand why I was being punished by my teacher when I was a good student and I loved learning.

The second experience would be experiencing physical and mental abuse from my former stepfather.

“The third experience would be going vegan. My health and heart have never felt better than they do now. My body is strong, energy is next level, and my heart is full of love.”

All the above shaped the person I am today. Though the first two experiences were difficult to live through, I am grateful for the lessons they provided me and appreciate them for opening my heart and filling it with compassion. They showed me I could either be a victim of circumstance or a creator of my future … I chose the latter.

Q: Why do you think women’s bodybuilding is trending right now?

I believe women’s bodybuilding is trending right now because it empowers women.

Bodybuilding shapes how we are perceived in our world and the world at large.

“Lifting strengthens not only our body but also our mind.”

It allows us to be bold and daring in other areas of our lives we are told by society that we can’t or shouldn’t be. Lifting weights hands us back our power, and we are loving it!

ORIGINS OF VEGETARIANISM

Vegetarianism isn’t a new diet craze, and it’s certainly not a passing fad.

It’s an enduring lifestyle choice rooted in ancient Indian and ancient Greek civilizations. Since that time, vegetarianism has come a long way – but not without its challenges and transformations. As with love, war, and politics, it’s important to understand your history to have a clear vision of where you’re headed.

Origins of Vegetarianism

According to Colin Spencer, author of The Heretic’s Feast: A History of Vegetarianism, the earliest recorded practices of vegetarianism were associated with nonviolence towards animals in India, southern Italy and Greece. Religious groups and philosophers were the first supporters of vegetarianism, and many medieval European monks were pescetarians for aesthetic reasons. Pure vegetarianism reemerged during the Renaissance and became widespread practice during the 19^th and 20^th centuries.

Abstention from meat has historically been central to Eastern religions like Hinduism, Buddhism, Brahmanism, Zoroasterianism, and Jainism (food for thought: according to my research, it is quite possible the Buddha was not a vegetarian). Ancient verses in the Upanishads and the Rig Veda , the most sacred ancient Hindu text, support vegetarianism because the practice respects all life forms on earth. As Buddhist emperor Ashoka, wrote, “husks hiding living beings are not to be burnt and forests are not to be burnt either without reason or to kill creatures. One animal is not to be fed to another.”

Famous Vegetarians in History

• Pythagoras, the Greek Philosopher
• Asoka, Indian king who converted to Buddhism and created a vegetarian kingdom
• Ashoka, Buddhist emperor from 304 BD to 232 BC
• St. David, Christian Patron Saint of Wales
• Alexander Pope, Renaissance era poet
• Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, 19^th century Christian preacher
• Gustav Struve, 19^th century German politician, publicist, and revolutionary

Vegetarianism in America

As Donna Maurer wrote in her publication, Vegetarian: Movement or Moment: Promoting A Lifestyle for Cult Change, “People typically view vegetarianism as a personal habit or food choice, even though organizations in North America have been promoting vegetarianism as a movement since the 1850s.”

Vegetarianism found its way to America by way of the Christian church. In the 1800s, Reverend William Metcalfe of the Bible Christian Church preached about vegetarianism and pacifism.

He and Sylvester Graham (who invented Graham crackers) were among the founders of the American Vegetarian Society in 1850. And as Karen and Michael Iacobbo point out in their book, Vegetarian America, A History, one of the founders of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church, Ellen G. White, became a vegetarian advocate and the church has promoted a meatless diet ever since.

As Eastern influences began to permeate Western society, vegetarianism appealed to the 1960s counterculture in America. The 1970s brought legitimacy to vegetarianism, as serious academic attention turned to the ethical treatment of animals. Undoubtedly, Peter Singer’s 1975 book, Animal Liberation, which exposed animal experimentation and the ills of factory farming, had something to do with it.

Environmental conservation became front-page news in the 1980s and 1990s, and vegetarianism was rightfully perceived as part of a sustainable solution. During this time and in the wake of the obesity crisis, Americans also began paying closer attention to their personal health and looked to vegetarianism as a viable alternative to prevent disease and live longer.

Health v. Spirituality

Author, J.C. Whorton, published an article titled, “Historical Development of Vegetarianism” in the the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition that examines the reasons that people decided to avoid meat in different ages. Prior to the 19^th century, people chose to avoid animal foods for more and metaphysical reasons. During the classical antiquity in Greece, “vegetarian diet” translated into a phrase that meant “abstinence from beings with a soul.”

But as Whorton points out, people began considering vegetarianism for improved health in the early 1800s, as science ascended to a position of cultural authority. But nonetheless, moral convictions shaped theories of nutritional superiority, making popular vegetarian spokesmen John Harvey Kellog and Sylvester Graham appear as dietary fanatics to some people.

Although spirituality is not a prerequisite for modern vegetarianism, many vegetarians experience a heightened sense of consciousness while paying closer attention to their food choices. These are some of the common spiritual benefits that vegetarians experience:

• Sense of worldly peacefulness
• Heightened compassion towards people and animals
• Reduced feelings of guilt
• Less toxic energy in the body
• Elevated levels of perception

Popular Modern Reasons to Choose Vegetarianism

• Personal health
• Disease prevention
• Moral conviction
• Animal rights
• Athletic performance
• Economic advantage
• Environmental preservation
• Religious beliefs

Vegetarianism Gender Bias

Although little is known about vegetarian gender bias in ancient culture, women are much more likely to choose vegetarianism in today’s society.

Psychology Today magazine suggests that evolutionary history might have something to do with the gender bias. Throughout evolutionary history, men hunted meat and women gathered plant food. According to the magazine’s survey, women are 60% more likely to become vegetarians (3.33% v. 2.07%).

A “Vegetarianism in America” study published by the Vegetarian Times found that 59% of vegetarians were female, compared to 41% that were male, and that the 18-to-34-year-old demographic was most inclined to try meatless diets.

The jury is still out as to why traditional male culture opts against plant-based diets. More research is needed to determine whether this gender bias is a result of genetic differences in food cravings, patriarchal traditions, masculine perceptions, aesthetic aspirations, or something entirely different.

Summary

Vegetarianism holds a complex, multi-faceted place in history for men, women, Americans, and citizens of the world. As University of Washington professor, J.C. Whorton pointed out, “since vegetarianism is still often selected for moral or other nonscientific reasons, nutritional education of vegetarians remains an essential activity.”

For health, moral, religious, and economical reasons, vegetarianism has sustained populations for thousands of years. Considering the growing population and the declining degrees health around the world, vegetarianism is a personal choice that can make a global impact.

As author and North American Vegetarian Society advisor, Rynn Berry put it, “Regardless of the choices you make in your diet, the more the dots are connected between health, compassion and ecology, the more nourishing your diet will become for your mind and your body.”

What are the Benefits of Being a Part-Time Vegetarian?

ARNOLD SAYS WE SHOULD GO PART-TIME VEGETARIAN

Over the last two years, there has been an explosion of interest, best-selling books, supplements, websites, festivals, and award-winning documentaries in the plant-based nutrition domain.

And now the Arnold Schwarzenegger of bodybuilding, Arnold Schwarzenegger, has weighed in on the topic and says we should try to eat less meat.

According to a recent article put out by the BBC, “Former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger says people should go meat-free one or two days a week to protect the climate.”

Arnold also recently said,

“I have seen many body builders that are vegetarian and they get strong and healthy.”

Wow. I didn’t see this day coming. This is akin to Donald Trump getting a crew cut.

To be clear, this legendary bodybuilder isn’t saying that everyone should become vegetarians, but he is bringing a great deal of attention to the topic. To me, this is a win in itself because many more people are talking about it now.

There are so many compelling health reasons to become a vegetarian, but as Schwarzenegger points out, the truly important one is the environment.

Agricultural food production contributes 18 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions, and the livestock sector generates 65 percent of human-related nitrous oxide and 35 percent of methane, which have 296 times and 23 times the Global Warming Potential of CO2, respectively.

Since 1990, emissions have increased by 17 percent, largely because of livestock management systems. By eliminating meat from our diets, we can cut greenhouse gas emissions from food by half.

Livestock consume more human-edible protein than they produce, as more than 10 kilograms of grain is needed to produce 1 kilogram of beef.

The average cornfield could deliver more than 15 million calories per acre each year (enough to feed 14 people per acre) if we ate the corn ourselves. But due to the allocation of corn to animal production, each acre only yields 3 million calories (enough for just three people).

Clearly, meat takes just as much of a toll on the environment and global food supply as it does our bodies. Now is the time to join Arnold in the fight against climate change with simple dietary changes, one meal at a time.

What’s next, Arnold encouraging the fitness community to try vegetarian bodybuilding?

Perhaps.

That said, according to our good friend Robert Cheeke, Arnold is no stranger to vegetarian bodybuilding:

Arnold used to lose bodybuilding competitions to a vegetarian bodybuilder, Bill Pearl. He grew up in the bodybuilding world among successful vegetarian bodybuilders, in addition to Pearl, including Mr. Universe, Andreas Cahling.

One of Arnold’s long-time bodybuilding colleagues is another former Mr. Universe champion, Jim Morris, who has spent many years as a vegetarian and is now vegan.

I was with Jim and Arnold in at the gym just a few months ago.

Arnold has had successful vegetarian bodybuilders around him for his entire bodybuilding career, dating back to when he was a teenage bodybuilder trying to keep up with the more experienced, and very successful, Bill Pearl.

I met Bill about 5 years ago and he was in his 80s and still active, much like Jim Morris, who is now 80 and in the gym 5 days a week. Though I don’t think Arnold was totally convincing in his statement about cutting back on animal products, suggesting that most people would be unwilling to cut out much, it is still a powerful message coming from the most influential bodybuilder in history, the man so many bodybuilders and others aspire to be like.

The Part-Time Vegetarian

If you like the idea of trying a vegetarian diet but the thought of never again eating a Thanksgiving turkey or a BLT leaves a bad taste in your mouth (pun intended), then try a semi-vegetarian diet (also known as a flexitarian diet).

Flexitarians are often confused with omnivores, but omnivores don’t typically care whether they eat meat or plants. Flexitarians strive to eat mostly veggies and fruits, and hardly any meat. The meat they do eat is carefully selected to be produced open-range and antibiotic/hormone-free.

Oddly enough, a flexitarian diet can be even more plant-based than a vegan diet.

This is because you can technically eat “vegan” (e.g. French fries, soda, cereal, etc.) all day and not have actually consumed a single vegetable. This more recent class of plant-based fellows, or semi-vegetarians, is also the most ancient expression of vegetarianism.

It turns out that most vegetarians across the globe eat some meat. You may enjoy reading “Origins of Vegetarianism” for some perspective on the subject. It is my observation that our culture tends to be more concerned with labels than the rest of the planet. We may get along better if we lightened up on striving for black and white all the time.

The Benefits

The primary concept here is that if you eat plant-based foods a majority of the time, you can still get most of the health benefits. I tried being semi-vegetarian first before going all-in, to see how my body would respond to hardly any meat. It also helped psychologically, because it offers flexibility and didn’t seem so extreme.

According to registered dietitian Dawn Jackson Blatner, who coined the term “flexitarian” over a decade ago, semi-vegetarians live longer and weigh less than their omnivorous counterparts. And like vegetarians, flexitarians also have a lower risk of cancer, obesity, high blood pressure, and coronary heart disease.

Plant-Based Protein Is Easier Than You Think

Protein becomes a hot issue because vegetarians have been taunted for a long time about not getting enough protein. Many who say this are not well-informed, so it makes sense that they might reject the message and instead blame the messenger.

For a vegetarian bodybuilder or athlete, the primary thing is to incorporate plant-based foods that are hearty and packed with protein and nutrients.

Also, because meat is calorie-dense, there tends to be a deficit after eliminating meat from your diet. To help increase my total calories for the day, I simply eat more calorie-dense foods like nuts, seeds, and coconut oil.

Sources of Protein:

• Quinoa (my personal favorite and also a complete protein)
• Soy foods, like tofu
• Beans and lentils
• Nuts and seeds
• Plant-based protein powders

Of these, only quinoa and tofu are complete proteins. And some veggie burgers and plant-based protein powders have a blend of proteins and make a complete protein as well.

You can also utilize combinations of whole foods with incomplete proteins to make up a complete protein meal. For instance:

• Peanut butter and sprouted bread
• Beans and brazil nuts*

Sample Semi-Vegetarian Meal Plan

Naturally, if you’re a larger human being like myself, who weighs 220-230lb, you will want to increase the amount of food. Likewise, if you’re a smaller human being, you can trim this meal plan down to suit your needs.

• Breakfast : 3 organic eggs, free-range; toast with almond butter
• Lunch: Veggie burger with lettuce and slices of avocado and tomato; fresh veggie juice with organic greens
• Snack: 1 serving organic Greek yogurt, grass-fed
• Dinner: Tofu stir fry with quinoa
• Snack: Plant-based protein shake

Parting Thoughts

A plant-based, semi-vegetarian diet is overall a good and healthy thing.

Arnold Schwarzenegger: “Luckily, we know that you can get your protein from many different ways. You can get it from vegetables; I have seen many bodybuilders and lifters who are vegetarian and are strong and healthy.”

The UN also advises a vegan diet: “A global shift towards a vegan diet is vital to save the world from hunger, fuel poverty, and the worst impacts of climate change”.

The bigger picture of eating more plants and less meat makes its own respective contribution to compassion for animals, preserving resources and the environment, and quality personal health. The more thoughtfully and less judgmentally we can invite others to eat more plants, the better the aggregate effect.

Thankfully, icons like Arnold are contributing to the conversation, which in turn gets more people talking about it.

There are many reasons one may try going plant-based, but it doesn’t have to be an all-or-nothing proposition. In other words, eating less meat and more plants is a simple, valid option.

What is the Best Way to Reverse the Effects of Alzheimer’s Disease?

Reverse the Effects of Alzheimer’s Disease - This One Ingredient Causes Alzheimer’s (new study)

Every time we read “new” Alzheimer’s research, it’s just the same old thing. It focuses on the genetic factors and doesn’t tell us anything new.

Little if any attention has been paid to the connection between Alzheimer’s and the lifestyle choices we make, especially diet ones.

But recent research from scientists from the University of Bath and King’s College has found one common ingredient that has been holding Alzheimer’s hostage and even helping it manifest.

Researchers examined samples of brain matter of people with and without Alzheimer’s to reveal the damage high blood sugar causes proteins and immune cells.

When sugar (or glucose) reaches your bloodstream, many of its molecules bind to protein molecules in a process called glycation.

Not only can glycation damage proteins, the by-products of the glycation process like beta-amyloid that causes brain plaque buildup are also harmful. This suggests that too much dietary sugar contributes to Alzheimer’s.

But researchers also discovered another extremely harmful effect of glycation – at the onset of Alzheimer’s disease – it damages an enzyme called macrophage migration inhibitory factor (or MIF).

MIF enzymes are a part of your immune system. When abnormal proteins start to build up in your brain, MIF enzymes are supposed to help remove them and/or limit potential damage. But when damaged, they can’t prevent abnormal protein plaque buildup of the brain, which is how the disease gets going.

In short, if you eat too many simple sugars that build up as glucose in your bloodstream, glycation becomes likelier, putting you more at risk from Alzheimer’s.

Cutting out or cutting down on sugar is a must for optimal health, but this alone won’t reverse your Alzheimer’s. To do this, you need to follow these simple exercises that not only slow down but also reverse the effects of Alzheimer’s disease in as little as 21 days…

Reverse the Effects of Alzheimer’s Disease - These Delicious Foods Stop Alzheimer’s Development

Occasionally scientists stumble onto information that is promising not only for people who suffer from diseases, but also for those who just enjoy good food.

A recent study concluded that some genuinely tasty foods may be able to control Alzheimer’s disease even better than drugs.

If you enjoy researching natural health topics and following a naturally healthy lifestyle, you have probably heard of polyphenols, the chemicals found in red wine, red grapes, berries, and several other food types. They are powerful antioxidants, which explains why naturopaths recommend them so liberally.

An increasing number of researchers have become interested in the ability of one of these polyphenols to prevent and slow the progression of Alzheimer’s disease. It is called resveratrol, and is a prominent ingredient in red wine, red grapes, pomegranate, dark chocolate, peanuts, and soybeans.

In September 2015, Neurology distributed an article in which a team of American researchers demonstrated that resveratrol might be an effective Alzheimer’s disease treatment.

Researchers divided 119 Alzheimer’s patients into groups that either received resveratrol or a placebo. The resveratrol group started with 500 mg per day, escalated by 500 mg every 13 weeks, for an eventual total of 2 g per day.

By the end of the year, the resveratrol group had approximately the same levels of amyloid-beta40 (Abeta40) in their blood and cerebrospinal fluid as at the beginning of the experiment. The placebo group, on the other hand, had substantially lower levels, an effect that usually accompanies the progression of Alzheimer’s disease.

An MRI scan also revealed that the swelling of the brains of the resveratrol subjects had diminished considerably.

While some participants complained of nausea, diarrhea, and weight loss, resveratrol was relatively free of side effects.

The authors warned that they had used a special pharmaceutical-grade resveratrol and claimed that you would have to drink about 1,000 bottles of wine to obtain the same amount. For that reason, together with their relatively small number of participants, they advised that their findings should be further tested, rather than immediately acted upon.

The way in which resveratrol manages dementia is still being researched.

A team at Oregon’s Health and Science University reviewed the literature in the journal Brain Research Reviews, and concluded that resveratrol activated sirtuin proteins, which also happen to be activated by low calorie diets.

These proteins have been shown to protect the brain cells of mice with Huntington’s disease, a disease that causes dementia and the degeneration of brain cells.

Another study by researchers at the Litwin-Zucker Research Center for the Study of Alzheimer’s Disease has established that resveratrol does not inhibit the production of Abeta, but rather promotes its intercellular degradation. In other words, resveratrol kills the Abeta between cells, instead of allowing it to form plaque inside them.

Pure resveratrol supplements are available from natural health stores, and you can further stack your diet with the foods that contain it. Who knows, altogether you might manage to obtain enough of it to protect your brain cells from age-related decline.

Reverse the Effects of Alzheimer’s Disease - The Good News About Type 2 Diabetes and Alzheimer’s Connection

Although more than 35 million people suffer from Alzheimer’s diseases, the causes of this heart-breaking and exhausting collection of diseases are little known.

However, a few breakthrough studies reveal a previously unknown link between type 2 diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease.

This connection between these two diseases might offer hope to millions of people to prevent and treat the early onset of Alzheimer’s disease.

The growing evidence supported by recent studies reveal that Alzheimer’s disease could actually be a late stage of type 2 diabetes.

One of the studies showed that animals fed a diet designed to cause type 2 diabetes left their brains damaged with beta-amyloid plaques of protein. The same protein is known to cause Alzheimer’s disease.

The memory problems that are often observed in type 2 diabetes patients are most likely caused by an early onset of Alzheimer’s disease rather than cognitive failure as previously thought.

It’s also been known that insulin plays an important role in memory.

Taking into account these facts, researchers suggest that a type of “brain diabetes” might be a main cause of Alzheimer’s development.

Even though it does not sound good, it is actually great news.

Type 2 diabetes is a lifestyle illness, caused by lack of exercise, poor diet, obesity and stress. It can be treated, avoided and reversed with a few lifestyle changes and the right diet choices.

And as the exiting news from the research shows, if we can prevent type 2 diabetes, we can avoid brain-damaging Alzheimer’s disease.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has become a hidden epidemic in the Western world. It worsens the effects of almost all other diseases before it even leads to liver failure.

And so far doctors have offered no real solution except giving vague suggestions of improved lifestyle habits.

But a new study published in the journal Hepatology reveals that some vegetables contain a chemical that burns your liver fat.

Our gut bacteria produce a metabolite called indole, which has anti-inflammatory properties.

As a result, a research team wondered whether indole and obesity or even indole and NAFLD are related.

They recruited 137 Chinese subjects and tested their blood for indole, tested their livers for fat, and took their weight measurements.

Those with the highest body mass index and obesity scores had the lowest levels of indole in their blood.

And those with the lowest body mass index scores and obesity scores had the highest indole levels.

In addition, the leanest people with the most indole had the least liver fat.

In an experiment done on mice, those that were given indole displayed significantly lower liver fat, scarring and inflammation.

Your gut bacteria naturally produce indole, and you can get it from certain vegetables like cruciferous vegetables such as cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, bok choy, radish, arugula, turnips, rutabaga, and watercress.

Combat Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease - Cruciferous vegetables are healthy, but these alone won’t cure your NAFLD. To really get rid of it completely, it’s important to get to the root cause of it, which I explain here…

Combat Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease - This Tea Cuts Non-Alcoholic Liver Disease by 80%

In the last few years, non-alcoholic liver disease (NAFLD) has become commonplace.

And doctors have claimed there is no cure!

But scientists from Pen State have just published some promising research in the Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry about one tea proven to be hugely effective when treating NAFLD.

In fact, drinking this tea may prevent or cure 80% of all NAFLD cases.

Green tea has long been known for its amazing health properties. It helps with both high cholesterol and diabetes, which is why scientists were eager to find out if it helped with NAFLD as well.

They put a large group of mice on a high-fat diet for 16 weeks and split them into smaller groups depending on the treatment they received.

One group received decaffeinated green tea extract, one group was given exercise wheels, another group received both the green tea extract and exercise wheels, and another group received no treatment at all.

After 16 weeks, they compared the liver tissue and blood and urine tests of the combination-treated mice to the untreated ones.

1. The combination-treated group had 92 percent lower plasma alanine aminotransferase, which is a blood test that indicates liver damage.

2. Their livers had 80 percent less fat.

3. They had more fat in their feces.

All three of these effects could be seen in the mice that received a single treatment only, but at approximately only half of the level of the combination-treated group.

In other words, the combination-treated group had 80 percent less liver fat than the untreated group had, and the single treatment groups had just below 40 percent less.

They concluded that the combination treatment caused the mice’s digestive systems to process food differently. They also thought that the polyphenols in green tea interacted with the small intestine’s digestive enzymes to prevent fat digestion.

The most important finding was that the combination-treated group had very active genes related to the formation of new mitochondria, which are the parts of cells that produce energy, suggesting exercise and green tea together helps cells use more fat for energy.

Combat Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease - Of course, green tea and exercise will benefit your health, but it will not completely cure your non-fatty liver disease. To do this, you need to first address the root cause of the problem, which I explain here…

Combat Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease - Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease – Its Alarming Real Cause

We’ve been led to believe that liver disease is more problematic after a certain age.

But a new study published in The Lancet Gastroenterology & Hepatology has now revealed that a particular group of teenagers and young adults are also at risk.

For years, scientists have been ringing alarms about the increase in obesity amongst children and young adults that leads to heart disease and diabetes, but few have studied the effects on the liver.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) occurs when your liver cells are infiltrated by fat. Scientists call this steatosis. If this isn’t treated early, it scars the liver permanently – this is called fibrosis.

Researchers from the University of Bristol analyzed the information of 4,021 participants in their 20s, all of whom had been assessed for NAFLD as teenagers.

They underwent a transient elastography FibroScan that detects liver steatosis and fibrosis.

Of those who did not have problematic alcohol habits, 20.7 percent had fatty livers, with 10 percent suffering from severe fatty liver disease.

In comparison, 25 percent of older adult populations around the world are estimated to suffer from it, implying that most of the damage is done before the age of 25.

Those who were classified as overweight or obese were more likely to have fatty livers than those at a healthy weight.

By the age of 17, only 2.5 percent suffered from moderate or severe fatty livers. It increased to 13 percent by the age of 24.

Researchers warned that the obesity epidemic among children in the West needed to be controlled to prevent further damage. They concluded these young people could remain healthy if they simply changed their diets and exercise habits.

Eliminate Rheumatoid Arthritis Symptoms - This Cheap Supplement Relieves All Arthritis Pain

“Excruciating” is a word that is commonly used to describe the pain associated with arthritis, and if you’ve ever suffered from it, or know someone who does, you too can probably relate.

At times, the pain is like no other, resulting in many people going to great lengths to get rid of it.

At times desperation is so high, resulting in people being easily taken in by snake oil salespeople trying to palm off expensive and useless “cures”.

But a new scientific study from the Netherlands is about to put these so-called “salespeople” out of business with their findings.

Scientists have found that there is indeed a cheap and readily available supplement that can be taken to treat arthritis, and the best news is it’s easily accessible and won’t break the bank.

Omega-3 fatty acids are not only inexpensive; they’re amazing for your overall health, including the joints. It can be found in abundance in walnuts, soybean oil, and cold-water fish like tuna and salmon. But the best sources of it are flax seed and fish oils.

The recommended quantity of the flax seed oil supplement is just 3-10 grams daily. It is particularly effective to take supplements that contain both DHA and EPA, both of which are types of omega 3 fatty acids.

Omega-3 fatty acids are known for their anti-inflammatory properties. They stimulate production of certain chemicals that control inflammation in joints, blood and tissues.

Studies have found that consistently taking fish or flax seed oil works for morning stiffness and joint tenderness, especially among people suffering from osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

And here’s an interesting fact about omega-3 fatty acids for you – it’s not just us, even cats get osteoarthritis relief with fish oil supplements, according to the study.

Eliminate Rheumatoid Arthritis Symptoms - But Omega-3 fat is not enough to completely reverse your arthritis. Here are the three exact steps I took to eliminate my arthritis pain completely in 21 days…

Eliminate Rheumatoid Arthritis Symptoms - How Arthritis Affects Your Eyes

What, the eyes?

Isn’t arthritis limiting and painful enough so we don’t have to twist the knife by adding more?

Unfortunately, you need to know about these if you suffer arthritis. Because there are still many things you can do to prevent those serious eye conditions, especially if caught early.

So, in today’s article, we’ll tell you about 7 ways arthritis affects your eyes and what to do about it.

Most of the conditions are inflammatory ones:

1) Dry eye. According to a review of the literature in the journal Cogent Medicine in 2016, this is the most common complaint that bothers up to 50% of arthritis sufferers.

Your lacrimal glands are less active, and so are your salivary glands to cause a dry mouth as well as dry eyes. An artificial tear solution should be sufficient to provide relief.

2) Conjunctivitis. According to this same review, inflammation of your inner eyelid and the outside layer of the white part of your eye is common. This is normally caused by a virus, bacterium, or other irritant, is luckily not serious, and will pass without treatment in less than five days.

Keeping dirty hands off your eyes and avoiding known irritants are good preventive measures.

3) Keratitis. This is another inflammatory condition, in this case of your cornea. When caused by bacteria or viruses, it can pass quickly, but more serious forms can cause your cornea to perforate or to develop scar tissue that can leave you half blind.

If you struggle with pain, poor eyesight and red eyes, you may be in trouble and should seek medical attention.

4) Episcleritis and scleritis. These conditions involve inflammation of the episclera or sclera, the latter being the outside white coating of your eye. The former passes undramatically, but the latter is serious and can lead to permanent loss of vision. It is also very painful and might require surgery.

5) Retinal vasculitis. This occurs when your retinal artery becomes inflamed, and the only way you can know it is happening is when your vision deteriorates, when you see dark spots or when you struggle to distinguish colors.

An ophthalmologist will have to diagnose and treat it.

6) Ocular hypertension and glaucoma. According to a study in a recent edition of the journal Acta Ophthalmologica, up to 42% of people with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis have ocular hypertension or glaucoma.

Ocular hypertension is high eye pressure because of inadequate drainage of fluid from your eyes. This causes glaucoma, which involves damage to the optic nerve. This can cause permanent vision loss. There is no cure but if caught early enough, it can be managed without serious vision loss.

7) Uveitis. A potentially serious condition, it involves the inflammation of the part of your eye that includes the iris. If you’re sensitive to light, see flashing lights, have burning eyes and blurred vision, you need to visit your ophthalmologist.

I recommend that everyone suffering arthritis gets a regular checkup with a good ophthalmologist. Even if some of the conditions above are incurable, they can often be managed, symptom free, if caught early.

On the upside, most of these conditions are inflammatory, which suggests that you can help to prevent them by keeping the levels of inflammation in your body as low as possible.

Eliminate Rheumatoid Arthritis Symptoms - Arthritis Drastically Improved with This Delicious Food

According to a new study, published in June 2017, in Arthritis Care & Research, one type of food can improve arthritis more than leading medications …

… without the side effects!

Even better, this food comes in lots of variety and is plainly yummy!

Researchers analyzed the information of 176 people collected by the Evaluation of Subclinical Cardiovascular Disease and Predictors of Events in RA (ESCAPE-RA) cohort study.

The available information included a food frequency questionnaire and DAS28-CRP scores.

The DAS28-CRP score is commonly used to measure the onset of arthritis. It measures the amount of c-reactive protein in your body and joints as it is a great indication of the amount of inflammation that is present.

The DAS28-CRP scale runs from 2 to 10, with anything below 2.6 indicating a condition in remission.

Those participants that ate the most fish (twice or more) could lower their DAS28-CRP score one point.

While one point on the scale doesn’t seem like much, it is, in fact, the same as methotrexate, a drug often prescribed for people with rheumatoid arthritis.

This supports previous studies showing that omega-3 fish oil can drastically improve arthritis function. Only now we know that eating the whole fish can be just as good.

To maximize your fish intake as an arthritis treatment, consume fish that contains as much omega-3 oil as possible.

These include

1) Mackerel contains so much omega-3 that one relatively small serving can give you approximately seven grams of it.

2) Sardines contain so much that one moderately sized serving can supply you with around two grams.

3) Herring is good for almost two grams per serving.

4) Salmon contains between one and 1.5 grams per serving, depending on how it is processed, farmed and cooked.

5) Albacore tuna has approximately one gram per serving.

Opt for fresh rather than frozen or canned fish and wild rather than farmed.

Eliminate Rheumatoid Arthritis Symptoms - But eating fish is only a smart piece of the puzzle. Here are the exact 3 steps thousands of readers have used to cure their arthritis completely in 28 days or less …

This post is from the Arthritis Strategy Program. It was created by Shelly Manning, a former arthritis sufferer and a health consultant.

A Brief Background on the Author

Like you, Shelly Manning also suffered from arthritis, particularly osteoarthritis. This was due to her weight and desk job. Her condition eventually took a toll on her relationship with her (former) husband.

It was when she went to Hong Kong that she met Janerdquo, an old woman who owned the restaurant where she ate. Janerdquo supposedly offered her a bowl of a weird-smelling soup, which helped ease her joint pain. She ate there each day for 10 days until she was completely healed from arthritis.

Shelly Manning decided to research this natural remedy and to create a step-by-step treatment plan to others who are suffering from different types of arthritis, such as gout, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, and psoriatic arthritis.

That’s why she created “The Arthritis Step By Step Strategy.” According to her claims, this unique strategy will get rid of joint pain and stiffness, repair your damaged joints, and treat the underlying cause of your arthritis.

Shelly teamed up with Christian Goodman, the owner of Blue Heron Health News, a publishing company that aims to help people to take responsibility for their own health by using natural health alternatives for preventing arthritis in fingers and knees naturally.

What is the Best Way to Get Rid of Acid Reflux in Your Throat Fast?

 

Discover How, Five Minutes from NOW, Your Acid Reflux Can Be Totally Gone & You’ll Feel Great Night and Day

Get Rid of Acid Reflux in Your Throat Fast - These Acid Reflux Drugs Lead to Untreatable and Dangerous Diseases

These acid reflux drugs are some of the most commonly prescribed drugs in the world.

But medical practitioners haven’t been revealing the whole story.

They have kept some information to themselves, or at least did not publicize it.

These drugs, according to a new study in the Journal JAMA Internal Medicine, lead to other diseases, more serious ones.

Deadly and untreatable ones.

Gastric acid suppression drugs are used to treat acid reflux because they suppress the production of stomach acids.

If stomach acid escapes from your stomach and washes back up into your esophagus and your mouth, the simplest solution for doctors is to prescribe a drug that blocks the enzymes that produce stomach acid.

The scientists wanted to explore the relationship between gastric acid suppressants and multidrug-resistant bacteria.

They looked at a number of past studies that compared the occurrence of multi-drug resistance between acid suppressants users and non-users, which included a total of 22,305 subjects.

From these, they found that people on acid suppressants were 75 percent more likely than non-users to develop multi-drug resistant gut bacteria.

The presence of one drug resistant bacterium can lead to the occurrence of drug resistant infections that involve other bacteria.

Furthermore, while bacteria that are in our digestive tracts are usually not harmful while they stay there, they can become extremely harmful when they escape through perforations in your intestines.

If they cause infections elsewhere in your body and they are multidrug-resistant, you might never be able to remove them.

Get Rid of Acid Reflux in Your Throat Fast - But multi-drug resistant gut bacteria aren’t the only, or even the most dangerous consequences of acid reflux drugs. Fortunately, it’s easy to cure acid reflux – as soon as today – using a safe natural method. I’ll explain this here…

Get Rid of Acid Reflux in Your Throat Fast - FDA Warning on Acid Reflux Medications

If you’re one of millions of people who suffer acid reflux and use – even if it’s only occasionally – medications to manage your heartburn, you’ll really want to pay attention to today’s short article.

Americans spend more than $10 billion on prescription drugs for heartburn. That’s on top of billions spent on over-the-counter solutions.

The most common drugs for heartburn are Proton Pump Inhibitors, or PPIs. These drugs stop small pumps lining the stomach wall that secrete acid to break down food for digestion. They’re approved by FDA for chronic, long term heartburn (GERD) but doctors are giving them out for a much wider range of conditions (surprise, surprise).

Recently the FDA has been issuing a series of warnings regarding long-term risk associated with PPIs, linking them to increased risk of infection with the diarrhea-causing superbug Clostridium difficile. Taking it for as little as a year increases the risk of hip fracture and causes vitamin B-12 deficiency. The worst part may be severe withdrawal symptoms when discontinuing use.

The good news is there is a simple, cheap home remedy you can make that instantly eliminates acid reflux for most people. And following a small plan, you can be permanently heartburn free for life. Learn more about this acid reflux approach here…

Get Rid of Acid Reflux in Your Throat Fast - Asthma- Milk Irritates More Than Reflux

A reader commented on the last milk article that he developed asthma as a result of his body’s intolerance to dairy.

Understanding how this is possible means first understanding that there are different types of asthma, and thus the triggers for attacks will differ.

For the reader whose asthma trigger is dairy, this suggests that his asthma is “non-allergic.” This basically means that his inflammation is caused by irritants outside the allergy world, such as pollen, dander, and dust.

Keep in mind that an intolerance to something is much different than an allergy.

While different types of inflammation occur with both allergies and intolerances, as evidenced in the differing kinds of asthma, the physiology behind the inflammation differs.

Asthma is an inflammation and constriction of the airways, causing the sufferer to not be able to breathe easily. This can range in severity from mildly irritating to life-threatening. People who are no strangers to asthma likely are well-familiar with not only what type of asthma they have, but also what triggers their inflammation.

Ironically, it is known that Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease also causes asthma attacks. This is particularly important to people who have an intolerance to dairy who also have a history of GERD, asthma, lactose intolerance, or any other dairy-related problems.

The point here isn’t so much to teach asthma sufferers about what causes their problems. Rather, it is more of an awareness issue for the rest of us who are not as sensitive to dairy.

It seems anymore that there are warnings popping up all over packages, menus, and even outside certain buildings of the presence of certain food ingredients. I have heard a lot of people complain about these warnings, saying it seems to be going overboard.

However, this is more than the drive to try and be sensitive or politically correct.

Have you ever tried to breathe through a small straw? If you don’t have asthma or allergies, you likely have not had the displeasure of this experience.

If you have ever wondered why there is such a push to disclose the presence of these food items, I would invite you, to give this exercise a try. Take a drinking straw, place it in your mouth, and go up and down your stairs (at a safe pace as to not trip and choke on your straw) at least once. Breathe only through your straw…not your nose.

Don’t overdo it, but just try to get a sense of what this feels like.

This is similar to what people who have antihistamine reactions go through when they are having an anaphylactic or asthmatic reaction to certain triggers, of which dairy is a big one.

The difference is, they can’t take the straw out of their mouths. During an attack, frequently a rescue inhaler, or trip to the ER is all that can turn the situation around.

For people with severe food allergies, an Epi-pen is their constant companion.

Trying to imagine the feeling of GERD at its worst is a little harder to do (safely). But these attacks are easily triggered by dairy, soy, red meat, and other foods- even when eaten in moderation.

Suffice it to say that if you really wanted a sensitivity training kind of exercise here, just imagine the feeling of trying to swallow a 5-pound barbell. The heavy, anxious, painful feeling along the esophagus and near the stomach’s opening isn’t just awful to experience; it can lead to long-term damage.

So I would invite you to try and notice on the packages, menus and buildings the different safety notices that are posted and what kinds of foods are listed. This will help you be a better friend to the people in your lives who suffer from food-related problems such as asthma, GERD and allergies.
