Lifestyle Choices

Fairly new in Western herbalism, echinacea is a traditional Native American medicine. The plant’s healing powers were allegedly discovered as an antidote to snakebites. (more…)

Modern lifestyle offers us so much convenient junk food. Most of us didn’t have enough time to spend in the gym because of the job, family and friends. Looking forward for a health and balanced life is quite hard.

I think everyone who wishes to be fit and health want to find out a short cut to lose weight and a proper workout. Shot and intense workout is possible.

One can break a vertebra or other bone without falling. However, if the fracture is the result of a fall, there is a greater chance of complications occurring. Statistics show that about one-third of people aged 65 and older fall every year. (more…)

I had the worst experience of some sort eye disease. Monday I found some white spots rising from my eyelashes. On the bottom of these white spots, my skin gradually became redder and redder.

Wednesday morning, when I woke up, I almost couldn’t open my eye. It looked terrible, my eye looked like a mashed berry. When I rushed to bathroom, tried to refresh my eye, the horrible things happened. All these big and red spots started swelling; suddenly my eye is full of pain.

I flied to see my doctor right away. Friday I still hang at house, I already had two days sick leave. I just can’t wait to work.

Later my companion came for a visit. I haven’t known she had been suffering this sickness for years. She told me that once these little spots came on my eyes. They wouldn’t just been healed. Even for months, it could happen again and again. Was that terrible?

What you eat matters, because first rate nutrition is probably the single most important factor in gaining health and keeping it. The foods you eat form the foundation of every cell in your body and when they are the right foods, they contribute to sound tissues, organs, muscles and skin. (more…)

Washing you hair is not so much for health as for appearance; six times a year would keep it healthy but probably looking awful. So it really depends on how it is worn, and what you see in the mirror. Try washing it every 6 to 10 days. If it is oily you will need to wash more often, if dry, less. (more…)

Fibre, the part of whole grains, fruits and vegetables that is not digestible (the bran in whole wheat or the cellulose in raw fruits and vegetables) is removed in the processing of much of our food. Five years ago you would not have even heard the word fibre mentioned in connection with nutrition. (more…)

Natural foods taste great: red and green salads fresh from the garden, wholegrain bread and fruity jam, a chicken with real chicken taste — no wonder a return to natural foods is one of the most important trends we’ve witnessed in recent years.

Modern progress in preservation, production and processing has certainly added an enormous variety of trouble-free foods to our menus. But it is not all a miracle. Some methods are potentially dangerous to health. Gases are used to ripen and preserve fruits and vegetables. Chemical sprays are applied and fertilizers are spread with alarming casualness over our farm lands. (more…)

A naturally occurring organic form of sulphur, known as MSM, has been found to have remarkable health benefits, including better hair, nails and skin, and allergy relief. MSM (which stands for methylsulfonylmethane) is a source of the essential mineral sulphur which is one of the minerals most crucial to life. It is involved in a multitude of key body functions including pain control, inflammation, detoxification and tissue building. (more…)

Many disease processes involve inflammation, often characterised by swelling, redness, pain and heat.

These include all the `itis’ diseases — arthritis, dermatitis, colitis, nephritis and hepatitis, as well as asthma and others not often associated with inflammation, such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s in which parts of the brain become inflamed. Inflammation also lies at the root of atherosclerosis, the common cause of thrombosis, heart attacks and strokes. In addition, it is an underlying cause of irritable bowel syndrome, Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, now suffered by eight million people in Britain. (more…)

A number of different terms are commonly used to describe the various types of nerve pain encountered. The main terms used are neuralgia (meaning pain resulting from injury to a nerve, particularly in the face), sciatica (pain mediated by the sciatic nerve, running from the lower part of the spine down each leg), and neuritis (inflammation in any nerve).

Nerve pain—aching, tingling, pins and needles, and a stabbing or burning sensation are the most common—can be caused by a number of factors, both physical and psychological, but the main ones are circulatory insufficiency, poor posture, wrong diet, stress, and over-exertion. Natural therapies can ease discomfort and accelerate the recovery process. (more…)

Depression Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)

CBT works on the basis that there is a close connection between thoughts (cognitions), feelings and behaviour. The treatment focuses on patterns of thinking that are negative and examines their underlying dysfunctional beliefs. For example, a person who i_sdepressed may have the belief: “I’m useless”. The underlying belief could be: “If I am not as competent as my colleague, I might as well resign from my job”. While the person in distress likely holds such beliefs with great conviction, with a therapist’s help, the individual is encouraged to view such beliefs as hypotheses rather than facts and to test out such beliefs. Furthermore, those in distress are encouraged to monitor and record the maladaptive thoughts which pop into their minds (called “negative automatic thoughts“). (more…)

Psychological approaches work best for persons who are able and willing to describe their thoughts and feelings. In other words, they must be reasonably verbal about their problems. Many patients are so preoccupied with physical symptoms that they are unwilling to discuss their thoughts and emotions. Some are obviously anxious and or sad but deny experiencing these emotions. They will be less likely to benefit from psychological therapies. (more…)

Read

There are thousands of self-help books available that actually have some very good advice. While some of the advice may not apply to your situation, most books at least have one nugget of knowledge that can be useful. Visit your local bookstores and libraries, and read as much as you can. The internet also has useful information to offer although care must be exercised as some sources of information may not be reliable. If in doubt, one should check with one’s mental health provider concerning the validity of information obtained from the internet. Some people have a problem when they read self-help books. (more…)

Express Your Feelings

Depressed feelings need to be expressed. Keeping a tight lid on one’s feelings will, in the long run, intensify the feelings and drive one to deeper levels of depression. If you have a friend or a confidant, speak to him candidly about how you feel. The tendency in depressed people is to withdraw from others and this adds to their sense of isolation. Loneliness is not good for depression. It can worsen depression. So resist the tendency to withdraw into your own world. (more…)
