Creating Balance There are a few main questions that I have to ask you, if you’re reading this material. Are you feeling sick right now? If you are, how are you going about taking care of your health at the current moment? If you keep getting sick or you continually have the same symptoms or health problems, you need to re-think why problems keep reoccurring. Are you hooked on pharmaceutical drugs that your doctor keeps prescribing? If so, you should look into some natural alternatives. Nowadays it isn’t uncommon for people to become frustrated with their medical practitioners and seek other ways to treat themselves with alternative medicine. An increasing amount of people now feel the need to make some heavy changes with their lives. Is your pantry and refrigerator full of unhealthy foods? If so, perhaps it’s time that you re-think what food you buy and how you fill up your pantry and refrigerator. In order to make vast improvements in your life you need to have alkaline balancing foods in your diet. If you’re like most Americans you’re probably consuming part of the Standard American Diet (SAD). Most people on this diet eat and drink straight up unhealthy garbage. The majority of Americans have been brain-washed and they eat whatever they feel like. This poor choice of eating and indulging on any foods that are put in one’s face, ends up resulting in a plethora of health problems which usually includes obesity and diabetes. All the refined, processed, packaged, and fast foods end up making your body an acidic mess. As a result of all this acidic...

In order to create a more balanced and healthy lifestyle you need to begin to recognize the most important back bone areas that are associated with everyday life. These areas include spirit, healthy food, water, fitness, sleep, outdoor nature, and relationships. To tell you the truth, I am no picture perfect person who lives a completely balanced life of health. Some people may look at my front page of my website and see me as someone who aspires to be rich. Honestly, I’m just someone who aspires for growth and a better lifestyle. My foundations in my life have slipped up at times and I’ve had holes and problem areas with my life that have come and gone. My performance level has been inconsistent during different times in my life which has lead to frustration. But honestly, I’d say that part of being human is going through natural ups and downs and figuring out what works best. For me the greater joy has been the self-discipline and self-reliance that develops along with sticking to healthy living by eliminating toxic foods and eating a balanced diet in combination with exercise. My personal journey towards health and wellness has been filled with obstacles along the way. I’m still designing a way to figure out how to properly balance my time for healthy meal preparation and time for my family and friends through the course of a 168 hour week. I’ve felt like I was falling short of my desired performance at various times and I’ve been prone to continuous negative self-thoughts coming from my own thought patterns. In order to discover...

The potent phytochemical known as cannabidiol is a phytocannabinoid derived from the industrial plant Cannabis Sativa L. It has many recently discovered healing properties that in fact can be used in order to help alleviate a host of abnormalities. The host of health benefits of hemp and particularly CBD oil listed below: Pain and InflammationAntioxidant and NeuroprotectantReliever of compulsive addiction and opioid drugsSleep aid for REM sleep disorderWakefulness aid for daytime sleepinessAnxiolytic aid for relieving anxiety and mood booster for depressionCritical aid in lipid signaling and metabolic effects with diabetes complicationsTherapeutic potential for cancer, obesity, neurodegenerative, and cardiovascular diseasesTherapeutic potential for epilepsy and multiple sclerosis In addition to what’s mentioned above. CBD is noted to boost memory, combat inflammation, and increase restful sleep. Many are hesitant to try CBD oil derived from the flowers of industrial hemp plants. This is mainly due to its close resemblance to it’s relatives Cannabis Ruderalis, Cannabis Sativa, and Cannabis Indica which are higher in the psychoactive phytochemical THC (Delta-9-Tetrahydrocannabinol). Although Cannabis Sativa L is a close relative of Indica and Sativa, it does not have more than .3% THC which is the main psychoactive property that produces that noted “euphoric high” that people often associate with cannabis. It is important to note that Industrial hemp is Cannabis Sativa L. The relative Cannabis Ruderalis is native to Eastern Europe and Russia and also happens to be lower in THC content. There is a lot of promising medical research backing up CBD oil which can make it an excellent alterative treatment for many people across the globe due to its ability to affect the Endocannabinoid...

The current age we live in is increasingly becoming more isolated with people searching for purpose and greater meaning. It isn’t uncommon for people to be alone or reclusive in our modern digital age due to the amount of distractions that are available at hand. With that said, it isn’t a surprise that our current generation has a higher rate of depression and suicide than any generation before. The question is, what is the issue with our modern world? Is it our working lifestyles or is it our failure to do the things that we feel will truly leave us feeling fulfilled? What many people really need and are seeking is a meaningful life. People have necessities which include powerful connections with other people. At the moment millions of Americans are suffering clinical depression each year. More and more studies are showing that exercise can be a very effective treatment method for depression. Furthermore counseling with cognitive-behavioral therapeutic techniques could potentially help alleviate symptoms of depression. Depression affects roughly 9.5% of the U.S. adult population each year, and it is estimated that approximately 17% of the U.S. population will suffer from a major depressive episode at some point in their lifetime.1,2 Depression has been ranked as the leading cause of disability in the United States, with over $40 billion being spent each year on lost work productivity and medical treatment related to this illness.3–6 Recent research suggests that between the years of 1987 and 1997, the rate of outpatient treatment for depression in the United States tripled and that health care costs related to this disorder continue to rise.7 Based on...

The digestive enzyme commonly known as Bromelain is derived from pineapples and is used for many different health reasons that one would never suspect from a digestive enzyme. This extract that is derived from pineapples is an excellent therapeutic enzyme that closely resembles proteinases with many anti-inflammatory abilities present. Bromelain has earned growing acceptance and compliance among patients as a phytotherapeutical drug. A wide range of therapeutic benefits has been claimed for bromelain, such as reversible inhibition of platelet aggregation, angina pectoris, bronchitis, sinusitis, surgical traumas, thrombophlebitis, pyelonephritis and enhanced absorption of drugs, particularly of antibiotics. There is also much promise with bromelain from pineapples and its potential to fight tumors. Bromelain acts as an immunomodulator by raising the impaired immunocytotoxicity of monocytes against tumor cells from patients and by inducing the production of distinct cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor-a, interleukin (Il)-1beta, Il-6, and Il-8. In a recent clinical study with mammary tumor patients, these findings could be partially confirmed. Especially promising are reports on animal experiments claiming an antimetastatic efficacy and inhibition of metastasis-associated platelet aggregation as well as inhibition of growth and invasiveness of tumor cells. In addition to fighting and preventing tumors, bromelain has also shown much promise with treating osteoarthritis. Bromelain is a food supplement that may provide an alternative treatment to NSAIDs for patients with osteoarthritis. Bromelain is a crude, aqueous extract obtained from both the stem and fruit of the pineapple plant, which contains a number of proteolytic enzymes (10,11) and has shown potentially beneficial effects due to its anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. Currently, bromelain is used for acute inflammation and sports...

With our modern day diets plagued with processed foods and many people eating out more and obtaining food on the go, it is becoming increasingly common for females and males to suffer from symptoms of weak libido and a lack of invigoration for life. I realize this subject is slightly taboo, but nonetheless a part of overall human health and happiness. In order to improve stamina, we have to observe the external factors in the environment as well as the foods that are being consumed on a regular basis. Vigor, virility, and vitality are all crucial components in a persons healthy body functioning for exercise and daily life. Many recent studies have shown that cell phone radiation can negatively effect testosterone and fertility in men. One study including this one from Department of Physiology, College of Medicine, King Saud University, “A total of 34 male Albino rats [Wistar strain], 2 months of age, weighing 150-160 gm were used for the experiment. These animals were divided into 3 groups. The first group containing 6 rats was assigned as a control group. The second group containing 14 rats was exposed to mobile phone radiation for 30 minutes daily and the third group containing 14 rats was exposed to mobile phone radiation for 60 minutes daily for the total period of 3 months. At the end of experimental period, blood was collected into the container, and serum testosterone was analyzed using double-antibody radioimmunoassay method by Coat-A-Count. The results of the study were, “Exposure to mobile phone radiation for 60 minutes/day for the total period of 3 months significantly decrease the serum testosterone level...
