Sacred herb turmeric may make at least 14 pharmaceutical drugs utterly obsolete

NaturalNews) You may have already heard about the many amazing healing properties of the spice turmeric, which is also sometimes referred to as curcumin. But did you know that literally thousands of published, peer-reviewed studies conducted and compiled over the years lend credence to the notion that turmeric works the same as, or even better than, at least 14 pharmaceutical drugs currently on the market?

It is true, and thanks to the diligent work of GreenMedInfo.com's Sayer Ji in compiling this valuable information, it is now available publicly for the benefit of your and your family's health. Many of the most commonly prevalent chronic illnesses, it turns out, can be prevented, treated, and even cured using turmeric, so you will want to pay attention. Here are seven drugs and classes of drugs that science shows can be effectively replaced with turmeric:

1) Statin drugs for cholesterol. Popular cholesterol drugs like Lipitor (atorvastatin calcium) and Crestor (rosuvastatin) are completely unnecessary when taking standardized doses of curcuminoids extracted from turmeric, according to a 2008 study published in the journal Drugs in R & D. Researchers found that in patients with endothelial dysfunction, the underlying blood vessel pathology that leads to atherosclerosis, turmeric extract worked at least as good as the drugs at reducing inflammation and relieving oxidative stress in type 2 diabetics.

2) Corticosteroid drugs. Millions of people receive steroid injections every year to treat the inflammation associated with conditions like arthritis and even cancer. But a 1999 study published in the journal Phytotherapy Research found that turmeric's primary antioxidant, curcumin, works just as well as steroid medications in the treatment of inflammatory eye disease. Several studies released in the years following found similar benefits for other inflammatory diseases commonly treated with steroids.

3) Antidepressants. Besides their copious side effects, antidepressant drugs like Prozac (fluoxetine) and Paxil (paroxetine) are extremely risky, as they can actually make depression symptoms worse for some people. But why even bother to use them when turmeric has been shown to effectively reduce depressive behavior the same or even better than these dangerous drugs?

4) Blood thinners. People at high risk of heart attack or stroke, or who require blood-thinning drugs to avoid these and other cardiovascular events, may simply be able to take turmeric instead. This suggestion is based on a 1986 study published in the journalArzneimittelforschung, which found that curcumin has similar anti-platelet and prostacyclin modulating effects as aspirin, the blood-thinning drug of choice for many conventional doctors.

5) Anti-inflammatory drugs. Aspirin is also commonly prescribed for other inflammatory conditions, as is ibuprofen, naproxen sodium, and a number of other pain pills. But these may be unnecessary as turmeric was shown in a 2004 study published in the journalOncogene to exert similar anti-inflammatory and anti-proliferative activity, particularly against cancer cells, as these drugs.

6) Chemotherapy drugs. The cancer industry would have us all believe that chemotherapy drugs are one of the few methods we have at our disposal to treat cancer. But a 2007 study published in the International Journal of Cancer found that curcumin works just as well as oxaliplatin (Eloxatin) at treating colorectal cancer.

7) Diabetes drugs. Not only is turmeric a viable contender in treating diabetes, a 2009 study published in the journal Biochemistry and Biophysical Research Community found that it works up to 100,000 times better than the popular diabetes drug Metformin at increasing glucose uptake. Turmeric also helps suppress glucose production in the liver at least as well as the most popular diabetes drugs on the market today.

Beyond this, turmeric is a powerful cancer-fighting herb as well, which Ji expounds upon further in his turmeric review. Be sure to check it out at:

Are Peanuts Fattening Or Healthy

Are Peanuts Fattening Or Healthy?

Written by: Tim

The most popular means of consuming peanuts, especially in America, is through eating peanut butter, which usually contains close to 90-95% peanut and some added salt, sugar and stabilizers. There are many peanut lovers out there and while they find this food extremely tasty and satiating, they are concerned about the health affects, especially the fattening aspect of peanuts. So are peanuts really fattening?
In a nutshell, peanuts make for an extremely healthy food item and it’s inclusion in our daily diet helps provide several necessary minerals such as copper, selenium, zinc, magnesium and iron. Peanuts are by far the best source of plant protein, in their roasted or raw form.
But what about fat? Yes, peanuts do contain close to 22% of their overall calories in fats. But the good news is that majority of it is in the form of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fat that are very healthy for the body.

Peanuts have been known to indirectly induce weight loss

If you are on a diet to reduce weight, you are more likely to obtain better results if you include a few helpings of peanuts, or peanut butter, in your daily intake. Here are a few reasons why peanuts make for a good inclusion in a weight loss diet.

• Peanuts quickly satiate hunger. It’s quite impossible to over-eat peanuts because of their tendency to give you a “filling” feeling as soon as you consume a few handfuls.
• The fats present in peanuts are “necessary” fats that aid in proper functioning of the body. Like all plant foods, peanuts don’t contain cholesterol and aid in the reduction of LDL or bad cholesterol. Unsaturated fats present in peanuts are completely harmless and are known to help prevent heart diseases.
• Studies have shown that people who snack on peanuts tend to eat less during the meal times. Apart from being a tasty snack it is also a food that tends to keep hunger at bay for long periods. Peanuts were largely eaten by the soldiers of civil war when they went on long drills.
• Peanuts contain a very small percentage of saturated fats. The presence of saturated fats is usually what causes issues of obesity and weight gain.

Mediterranean diet has found a lot of popularity in the weight loss circles because of its effectiveness at long term weight control. Surprisingly, close to 30% of the calories, in a Mediterranean diet, are obtained through fats. So what’s the secret?
A Mediterranean diet supplies fat through the consumption of foods like roasted peanuts, peanut butter, nuts, olive oil and peanut oil. All these sources are rich in monounsaturated fats that are non-fattening in nature. Moreover, these food items are a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids that help in controlling cholesterol and LDL levels in the blood.
People also tend to stick easily with the moderate fat Mediterranean diet instead of the other bland and tasteless “low-fat” diets. The consumption of peanuts, and other tree nuts, forms a major part of Mediterranean diet.
If peanuts and peanut butter were fattening, people would not have achieved such marvelous results in weight loss while consuming a Mediterranean diet.

Peanuts are an excellent source of nutrition

It’s important to remember that peanuts are from the “legume” family and are not constitutionally similar to the other “nuts” like almonds, cashews or walnuts.

As with all legumes, peanuts are a rich source of plant proteins and fatty acids. The presence of significant amounts of phytosterols, in peanuts, helps provide immunity against heart disease and cancer.
It has been confirmed that peanut butter does not contain any “trans-fatty acids” and hence makes for a very healthy snack. Trans-fatty acids are present in foods like cookies, baked foods, crackers and fried foods, which cause several health problems including obesity.
Peanuts make for an excellent source of Vitamin E and folate, important for the healthy functioning of the circulatory system. The presence of Resveratrol in peanuts improves the overall heart health.
If you are looking to build muscles, through weight training, peanuts should be a necessary part of your dietary intake to get a rich supply of plant proteins.
In conclusion, if you are peanut lover, stay that way, there is nothing to worry about. Peanuts, and peanut butter, are not fattening and they provide for a very healthy snacking option.

Simple, Practical Mental Health Tips:

Need some practical advice for improving your mental health? Start with these simple mental health tips. Are you feeling depressed lately and wondering how to improve your mood? Are you in the midst of getting over a significant loss in your life and wondering how to keep your mind healthy as you grieve? Are you interested in how you can maintain a healthy mind to keep your body healthy? Mental health is a complex subject-- it's hard to define and difficult to grasp all of the different aspects of mental health. Still, however, there are simple steps that you can take in your life to keep your mind healthy. Check out these practical tips for maintaining a healthy mind! Employ just a few of these ideas and you'll likely feel the difference in your mental health. 1) Make sure you're getting enough rest. Sleep is the body's way of recharging, meaning that sleep doesn't only increase your energy it actually boosts your mental health. 2) Feel what you feel! Don't worry about controlling or changing your feelings. For now, focus on expressing the feelings that you have rather than trying to feel a certain way. 3) Forgive yourself for past mistakes Messing up is a part of life, and mental health requires understanding that and moving past mistakes in our lives. Is there a mistake or regret that eats at you? Let. It. Go. 4) Throw a mini-party for yourself! Celebrate a recent accomplishment in your life by patting yourself on the back and rewarding yourself with a small gift you've been looking forward to. It's important to acknowledge successes-- not just failures. 5) Find a good support system. Whether family, friends, a church, or something else, find a group of people who are willing to love you for who you are. This boosts resilience and helps to provide perspective in the midst of stress and pain. 6) Eat healthy. Invest time in learning which kinds of foods bring you up and which kinds bring you down. Committing to a diet can make you feel good about yourself, give you a sense of self-improvement, and boost your sense of accomplishment. 7) Exercise. Regularly exercising can help to cut back stress in your life, releasing pent up energy as you work your body. Exercise releases endorphins, chemicals in the brain that energize us. Sunlight can lift one's spirits, boosting mental health and preventing depression. 8) Leave some time for leisure. Make sure you allow time in your schedule for whatever causes you to relax. Maybe it's watching movies or completing crossword puzzles or walking outside. Make time for the things you know relax you. 9) Stay away from drugs and alcohol When you consume cigarettes, illegal drugs, and alcohol, these drugs tamper with your mental health, decreasing mental stability and giving you false positive emotions. 10) Commit to helping others. You can build self-esteem and self-worth by regularly pouring out your energy and talents to help others. Volunteering is another activity that releases endorphins, boosting your mood. 11) Do things that require discipline. Self-control increases self-worth, as you feel like you can control aspects of your life. 12) Learn something new! Part of what makes us human is our tendency to challenge ourselves. Challenge yourself to learn something new-- maybe a new skill, sport, or game. Studying artwork exercises our minds and encourages us to think creatively. Take some time to visit a gallery or an art show-- you may return with a new perspective on your situation. 15) Find a good listener, and return the favor. Find one person who is willing to listen to you vent and talk freely. It can also relieve stress to form a listening partnership, where the two of you share on a regular basis. 16) Stick to your friends! Do what you can to intentionally keep in touch with a circle of friends. Schedule lunches, dates, or get-togethers with your friends more often. Deep friendships remind us of a sense of belonging. Worry will consume your mind if you let it, but you can also train yourself to avoid worry, to choose a life without anxiety. Ask God to help you not to worry. 18) Do things that engage your senses. Each day, perform one task that engages each of your senses: sight, touch, smell, sound, and taste. Engaging your senses helps you to live in the moment and focus on the present. 19) Leave time to build and create! Even if it's just LEGOs or a can of Play-doh, it's important to engage our creative sides frequently. When the mind gets into a rut of the same sort of thinking, it gets sick. Keep it well by staying creative. 20) Consider getting a pet. This is a big decision, but having a pet can really help mental health. Pets love us unconditionally, keep us active, and provide us a way to care for something. 21) Leave time for nothing. Make sure your schedule has a little room for free time: time that is unbudgeted. Use that time for meditation, prayer, or relaxation exercises. 22) Cut out late-night TV and computer use. Studies have shown that watching TV and using a computer late at night can cause depressive symptoms. 23) Spend time with people every day 24) Work to understand what stresses you. Understand your stressors and be able to recognize how you need to react. Be informed about what is happening in your mind and body. Find reasons to praise people, and be willing to accept people's praises of you. This will help you to appreciate the good in those around you and recognize it in yourself. 26) Join a club or social group that meets regularly. This will help to create a community in your life, fueling purpose and camaraderie. 27) Leave time to laugh. Try to laugh hysterically every day. Feed yourself funny things, allowing your mind to decompress from time to time. 28) Accept that there are some things you cannot change. A lot of anxiety stems from trying to change things beyond our control. Recognizing that some things are beyond our control is a key to a healthy, anxiety-free mind. 29) Engage in spirituality on a regular basis. Make sure you're exercising not just your mind and your body but also your spirit. Interact regularlyt with a spiritual community. Putting faith in God relieves stress on ourselves. 30) Talk to God about where you're at. Interact with God in prayer on a daily basis and allow God to be a part of your stress-reduction strategy. He's been doing it for thousands of years He's got a little more practice than you do.

What is blood pressure?

When your heart beats, it pumps blood round your body to give it the energy and oxygen it needs. As the blood moves, it pushes against the sides of the blood vessels. The strength of this pushing is your blood pressure. If your blood pressure is too high, it puts extra strain on your arteries (and your hearAt) and this may lead to heart attacks and strokes.   How you can tell if you have high blood pressure Having high blood pressure (hypertension) is not usually something that you feel or notice. It does not tend to produce obvious signs or symptoms. The only way to know what your blood pressure is, is to have it measured. Blood pressure is measured in 'millimetres of mercury' (mmHg) and is written as two numbers. For example, if your reading is 120/80mmHg, your blood pressure is '120 over 80'.  What do the numbers mean? Every blood pressure reading consists of two numbers or levels. They are shown as one number on top of the other. The first (or top) number is your systolic blood pressure. It is the highest level your blood pressure reaches when your heart beats. The second (or bottom) number is your diastolic blood pressure. It is the lowest level your blood pressure reaches as your heart relaxes between beats.   Keep your blood pressure low Even if you do not have high blood pressure at the moment, it is important to keep your blood pressure as low as you can. The higher your blood pressure, the higher your risk of health problems. For example, a blood pressure of 135 over 85 may be "normal" but someone with this reading is twice as likely to have a heart attack or stroke as someone with a reading of 115 over 75.   What is normal blood pressure? Ideally, we should all have a blood pressure below 120 over 80 (120/80). This is the ideal blood pressure for people wishing to have good health. At this level, we have a much lower risk of heart disease or stroke. If your blood pressure is optimal, this is great news. By following our healthy living advice, you will be able to keep it this way.  If your blood pressure is above 120/80mmHg, you will need to lower it.  Most adults in the UK have blood pressure readings in the range from 120 over 80 (120/80) to 140 over 90 (140/90). If your blood pressure is within this range, you should be taking steps to bring it down or to stop it rising any further. Our five top tips will show you how. The reason why people with blood pressure readings in this range should lower it, even though this is not classified as 'high' blood pressure, is that the higher your blood pressure, the higher your risk of health problems. For example, someone with a blood pressure level of 135 over 85 (135/85) is twice as likely to have a heart attack or stroke as someone with a reading of 115 over 75 (115/75).
