Asthma Natural Remedies With no Side Effects By Rudy Silva

Image
  Asthma Natural Remedies With no Side Effects By Rudy Silva There are many causes of asthma and each person can have different asthma attack triggers. So, each person may need to use a different medical approach and different asthma natural remedies. Using drugs to control your asthma makes sense when you first discover that you have asthma provided your asthma is well established or life threatening. Once you have your prescriptions and your doctor's instructions, you should consider looking at or experimenting with natural remedies to control or even eliminate your asthma, since drugs are not a cure. No matter what type of drug or inhaler you are using, they all have their side effects. The longer you use drugs or an inhaler, the less effective they become and most likely you will see side effects. You should use asthma natural remedies when you are having an asthma attack or when asthma is under control. There are four areas you need to concentrate on when examining asthma...

Fiber and How it Eliminate Constipation By Rudy Silva

  Fiber and How it Eliminate Constipation By Rudy Silva A diet with 40 grams of fiber provides protection and prevention against diseases such as kidney stones, varicose veins, obesity, heart disease, appendicitis, colon disease, diabetes, appendicitis, diverticulitis, and constipation. When you eat fiber, it passes into your colon without getting digested in the small intestine. The good bacteria will use some of it as food, which makes them stronger, able to multiply, and keep bad bacteria in check. Eating fiber reduces your fecal matter transit time from 3 days to 1 1/ 2 - 2days. All processed foods, such as white flour products, have little or no fiber. Fiber is removed when various natural flours or grains are processed to make junk food. During this processing, nutrients, vitamins, and minerals are also removed. Only plant foods and lightly processed grains have fiber of varying amounts Foods that are "fortified" with vitamins and minerals are unbalance and unhealthy si...

Diabetes by Kim

 Diabetes  by  Kim By the time many type 2  diabetics  (and often their doctors) realize action is necessary, the disease, with its destructive high blood sugars, has been silently damaging their body for years. Complications to the blood vessels and tissues of your eyes, feet, heart, kidneys, and other organs, are likely well underway. You visit the doctor because you feel bad, and you wish to feel better. You react to the symptoms of perceived illness. This is understandable, but does not allow much room for prevention or early detection of diabetes. Of course this idea, "Don't see the doctor 'til it hurts," comes from our "busier-then-ever" lifestyles. But to blame, to point fingers after the damage has started is as pointless as is the leaping bungee-jumper's complaint that his equipment has just failed. It's a little late to talk about why. Some problems are better prevented. If you have type 2 diabetes, you know most of the time you don't f...

 Diabetes Smoking - 7 Reasons Why Smoking is Even More Hazardous for Diabetics  by  Carol Ann Bentley Are you a diabetic? Do you smoke? Do people around you smoke? We all know smoking is a direct cause of cancer but if you have diabetes smoking - including passive smoking - leads to other health problems... Here are 7 reasons why mixing diabetes with smoking is a very bad idea: 1) You are more likely to get nerve damage (neuropathy). This is because smoking affects your blood circulation and that in turn means your nerve endings are not getting the nutrients they need. If this happens to the nerves in your feet it could lead to sores and infections and, if not taken care of properly, even amputation. (There are Foot care tips on my website - see below) 2) There is an increased risk � double in fact -of you getting limited mobility in your joints. It's no fun trying to bend, climb stairs or lift something when you have a painful joint. 3) Because of smoking you could devel...

 Diabetes Nutrition Is A Must To Curtail The Bad Effects Of Diabetes  by  Javier Fuller Diabetes is a life long disease, and how to control this life-long companion? You can expect co-operation from this disease provided you show some positive signs of awareness about the damaging consequences of neglecting it. To talk about the Type II diabetes, it is now fairly sure that 9 out of the ten cases can be controlled and cured, provided dietary precautions are taken, and you do regular exercises. Judge what is suitable for your health, by self-assessment and by consulting the doctor and stick to the schedule. I presume you are a non-smoker and are taking effective steps to control your weight. The body has a foolproof and intricate mechanism to control the glucose levels in the bloodstream. It should not be too low or too high. What you eat is assimilated by the body priority-wise. Carbohydrates are converted into glucose and rapidly absorbed in to the bloodstream. The reason...

The Wonder Of American Ginseng And Diabetes by Javier Fuller

Image
 The Wonder Of American Ginseng And Diabetes  by  Javier Fuller The Chinese term jen-shen means in the image of a man. The term ginseng is derived from this word. But American ginseng is different. It is derived from the Greek language, which means panacea- a herb that has the all-healing capacity or power. This herb has been hailed as the wonder of the world, because of its healing capacity. As a medicinal plant, ginseng commands lots of respect and is held in high esteem. There is lots of confusion with regard to over the counter medications (Non-herbal), the side-effects reported are too many, so any plant that gives positive and unfailing assurances in the world of medicine, commands immediate attention and it is held in awe! If the qualities attributed to ginseng are true, and indeed they are reported to be true, it looks as though the herb is the angel from the celestial world, incarnated on the Planet Earth, for the health benefits of humanity. The qualities attrib...
