			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Prostaglandins are hormone-like substances that affect every aspect  of your health. There are over 30 different types that have been  identified so far. These hormone-like substances fall into three main  categories, depending on which fatty acid they are made from.</p>
<p><strong>Series 1 </strong>prostaglandin is made from omega-6.</p>
<p><strong>Series 2 </strong>prostaglandin is made from Arachidonic Acid (AA).</p>
<p><strong>Series 3</strong> prostaglandin is made from omega-3.</p>
<p>Each series has a different function within the body, having far reaching consequences on every cell. <strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Series 1</strong> PGE keeps blood platelets from  sticking together, helping to prevent heart attacks due to clots in our  arteries. PGE 1 helps the kidneys remove sodium and excess fluid from  the body. It relaxes the blood vessels, improves circulation lowers  blood pressure and relieves angina. PGE 1 even slows down the production  of cholesterol (our liver produces about 70% our cholesterol the rest  comes from our diet). <strong>It decreases inflammatory responses helping to control pain. </strong>Makes  insulin work more effectively, helping diabetes. It improves nerve  function producing a sense of well-being. Regulates calcium metabolism,  improves the function of the T-cells in our immune system. And from a  pain and inflammatory point of view PGE 1 helps to prevent the release  of arachidonic acid from our cell membranes.</p>
<p><strong>Series 2 </strong>– PGE 2 promotes platelet  aggregation, which is the first step in a blood clot formation. PGE 2  encourages the kidneys to retain salt leading to fluid retention and  high blood pressure. These prostaglandins also encourage inflammation  and hence pain.</p>
<p><strong>Series 3</strong> – PGE 3 also prevents arachidonic  acid from being released from cell membranes, therefore preventing PGE 2  from being made. This explains why fish can prevent degeneration of the  cardiovascular system, fluid retention, and reduce inflammation.</p>
<p>For a better balance &#8211; we need plenty of essential  fatty acids plus a good supple of vitamins and minerals like C, B3, B6,  magnesium, and zinc. Cut down on your meat consumption as it is a rich  source of arachidonic acid and at the same time increase your intake of  plant foods of all types.</p>
<p>Increase your consumption of  –</p>
<p>Hemp seeds</p>
<p>Flaxseeds (linseeds)</p>
<p>Borage capsules</p>
<p>Evening primrose capsules</p>
<p>Walnuts</p>
<p>Almonds</p>
<p>Sesame</p>
<p>Sunflower</p>
<p>Pumpkin</p>
<p>All fruits and vegetables</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you know what lectins are? You may have heard of ricin, its a  highly toxic substance. What might surprise you is that it occurs  naturally in castor bean. The very beans used to make castor oil.</p>
<p>In 1998 experiments with genetically-modified potatoes caused a  problem as they damaged the brains and immune systems of rats that ate  them. It was the lectins found in the potatoes that were the problem and  did the damage. How did this happen? Potatoes were modified with the  genes from a South African bean known to be toxic to insect, and  evidently rats. They thought this would make the plant insect proof.  Lectins are found in varying degrees in plants and animals, some are  obviously very powerful, other are so weak they are not worth  mentioning.</p>
<p>Peter D&#8217;Adamo ND talks about lectins in his books on blood types, and  how they can affect us in different ways. Lectins are glycoproteins  that can agglutinate cells, meaning lectins act like superglue sticking  cells together, acting like an enzymes which means it doesn&#8217;t take part  but evokes a change. Lectins usually effect red or white blood cells but  frankly they can affect cells of any organ like the kidneys, pancreas,  or liver etc. Our intestinal lining is exposed every time we eat. It has  been found the affect lectins have on cells of the gut and bacteria of  the intestines causes a cascade of reactions within the body.</p>
<p>Lectins are found in quite high levels in beans in general and in  peanuts (which are legumes), this way so many people have problems with  these foods. However, if the beans have been cooked at high enough  temperatures for long enough the lectins will have been inactivated. But  a lot escape cooking and digestion to end up in the blood stream to  reek havoc on the immune system. Then there are foods when cooked &#8211; the  lectins levels are increased for instance in cooked banana, carrots, or  corn.</p>
<p>Then there are many common foods (cooked or not) that contain lectins  that can inactivate digestive enzymes for instance in avocado, apples,  bananas, wheat, tomato, carrots, corn and lettuce.</p>
<p>As for as arthritis is concerned lectins are inflammatory, ultimately  causing histamine and other inflammatory mediators to be released. this  thought to be the root of many food intolerances triggering a  hyper-permeability which leads to auto-immune diseases like arthritis.  As these compounds cross the gut wall into the main circulation they  interfere with the body&#8217;s hormone balance, metabolism and health in  general.</p>
<p>Go easy on the foods mentioned above.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>1 Watch your weight. Being overweight can contribute to a life shortening disease like diabetes or heart disease.</p>
<p>2 Laugh, laugh, laugh. A 100 laugh is worth a 10 minute jog &#8211; beside  it makes to feel good and produces happy chemicals. Laughing generally  has a healthy positive effect on life expectancy.</p>
<p>3 Get a pet. Research revealed that owners of cats and dogs visit the  doctor less often and suffer less stress. The dog came out on top for  giving the best results.</p>
<p>4 Relaxation techniques like yoga, Pilates, meditation have proven to reduce stress and extend years.</p>
<p>5 Try to maintain a good relationship with your mother. Research  revealed those who didn’t were more likely to develop heart disease or  other problems.</p>
<p>6 Check your breasts regularly that goes for both men and women.</p>
<p>7 Optimists win out on all counts, life is more fun, they suffer less  colds and flu, and live up to a whopping 12 years longer than  pessimists.</p>
<p>8 Forget whale watching take up mole watching. Look out for moles  that change, change in size or colour, if they become raised or begin to  weep. Get the mole checked immediately.</p>
<p>9 Apparently if you are married or in a relationship that is happy  and stable and the longer the marriage or relationship the better the  life expectancy.</p>
<p>10 Winning awards, prizes, achievements or qualifications helped  increase life expectancy. These can be undertaken and achieved at any  age.</p>
<p>11 Learning a new skill like a new language or musical instrument generally had a positive effect and adds years to your life.</p>
<p>12 Having a good social life whether retired or not, extends the years to your life.</p>
<p>13 Get cooking, it’s a great past time, with enormous health benefits.</p>
<p>14 Get moving anyway that suites you. Be it yoga, walking, Pilates,  the gym, the pool, just get moving and to increase your years.</p>
<p>15 Get enough anti-oxidants to slow down aging by eating a minimum of 5 fresh fruit and vegetables each day.</p>
<p>16 Get the right fats, the essential fatty acids from oily fish, seeds, and cold pressed oils like extra virgin olive oil.</p>
<p>17 Go to the dentist regularly; if you can’t chew food properly your  digestion will be compromised and will be tempted to make poor food  choices.</p>
<p>18 For optimum years get 6 to 8 hour sleep, getting less than 4 and  more than 9 hours will shorten your life according to research.</p>
<p>19 Drinking green and red tea regularly will help to increase life expectancy as they both contain powerful anti-oxidants.</p>
<p>20 Last but not least, mind over matter don’t think old.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Besides helping your body deal with stress this herb has other  amazing health properties’, making it a very noteworthy addition to your  supplement program, protecting you from life’s daily hassles. Remember  anything that helps the body to cope and reduce stress will help to  reduce pain.</p>
<p><span lang="EN-US">Traditionally it comes from Siberia way up above  sea level, used for centuries throughout Asia and China. Historically it  was highly prized and valued as a versatile herbal tonic to increase  strength and stamina, as opposed to treating a particular disease. In  Russia there was a saying &#8211; people who drink rhodiola tea will live to a  100. The herb is also known as golden root or arctic root. </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US">During World War II the Russians developed  extracts that they would give to the soldiers to enhance their  abilities. Research showed that it would help boost the body’s  resistance enabling them to cope with physical and environmental stress,  presumably the bitter cold and hunger. </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US">This herb is officially known as an ‘adaptogenic  herb’, meaning it arms the body with the ability to cope with stress,  improve performance and encourage disease resistance. It helps the body  maintain normal modus operandi even under stress. </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US">We all know stress can have a negative effect on  our immune system, making us more vulnerable to infections like cold and  flu. However, rhodiola helps to strengthen the immune system making you  less susceptible. </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US">This herb can protect the organs like the heart  from damage by reducing the amount of corticosteroids, a stress hormone  released by the adrenal glands during stressful times. It is thought  that rhodiola’s ability to support the adrenal glands also has a  positive effect on blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and blood sugar  levels. It is well known that exercise is good for you but it is a form  of stress to the body, here again rhodiola has proven invaluable to  athletes helping to increase their stamina and speed up recovery time  after training. Russian scientists have done a lot of research in this  area, using rhodiola some years ago now to give the Russian athletes an  edge. </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US">People were given rhodiola to see how it would  affect fatigue and memory loss. Most people noticed an improvement in  their symptoms and found productivity at work had improved after taking  this herb for about 2 weeks. Rhodiola seems to protect the brain and its  important mood enhancing chemicals like serotonin and dopamine.  Serotonin is important for sleep, stable moods, appetite, memory and  lower levels have been linked to depression.  It would seem rhodiola  contains plant compounds that enhance the production of serotonin and at  the same time preserve serotonin levels due to its ability to block the  action of an enzyme that breaks down serotonin.</span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US">It is possible to take this herb in capsule or  tablet form I take the dried root in a tea. It is a good herb to take  long term as a tonic, always follow the dosage recommended on the  packaging. </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US"> If you are going through a particularly stressful  time, there are a few other simple things you could be doing. Be kind  to your adrenal glands by cutting right down on your caffeine and sugar  consumption, both are stressful to the body and overwork the adrenal  glands. </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US">The body uses up a lot of vitamin C during  stressful times, vitamin C also helps the adrenal glands to cope better  so increase your intake of vitamin C capsules and increase your  consumption of fruit and vegetables. </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US">Take regular walks get some fresh air, UVs and listen to some relaxing music. </span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As we age our digestion struggles a bit more each decade, things we  ate when we were young are  now proving to cause discomfort and even  pain. People automatically think if they have  indigestion it must be  acid problems and reach for antacids. Yes it could well be a acid  problem but often the reverse of what you think.</p>
<p>Often   acid levels are a little on the low side causing digestive discomfort,   and taking antacids will make this situation worse. We need correct  level of stomach acid to digest protein properly, so that bacteria are  destroyed, so minerals like calcium are broken down enough to allow  absorption and utilization.</p>
<p>TEST There is a simple  test you can do at home for pennies.</p>
<p>Take a level teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda dissolved in some water (about 3 to 4oz)  you should drink this immediately <strong>on an empty stomach</strong>.</p>
<p>THE RESULT The bicarbonate of soda should be converted into gases by you stomach acid, causing significant bloating and belching within five to ten minutes.</p>
<p>If there is little or no belching, this would   <strong>indicate</strong> low stomach acid.</p>
<p>WHAT IS THE SOLUTION? One tablespoon of good quality of organic apple cider vinegar in a little water 30 minutes before a meal. Apple Cider Vinegar helps to encourage better  levels of Hydrochloric acid levels in a totally natural and gentle way  for better digestion.</p>
