Social Media and Quality of Life

September 7, 2021 By Nemira Leave a Comment

Social media and quality of life do not get along. Social media plays a big part in human lives. It is the same as with chocolate. Too much is a headache; a little bit: you want more of it. Do you like it? Can you see a difference between you where you were a couple of decades and now?

How much of time do you spend using social media?

The company I learned about Internet Marketing advises half an hour per day for social media. For die-hard fans of Facebook and Instagram, I think that is a big NO.

It is too much temptation, and I always feel unhappy when I see how much time I have wasted searching for various topics. It is like a swamp.

Do you remember the movie Lord of the Rings, where Frodo looked into the swamp water? He felt mesmerized, or maybe better would be hypnotized.

Happily, Sam saved him from drowning in cold water with lurking creatures. Sometimes I feel the same way.

Additionally, the time spent on social media is similar to kissing through the glass. It looks fascinating, but you are lost and empty-handed in the end.

Of course, it is different when you use social media platforms to earn money or spread a piece of news about your activities, contacting your friends or team, family.

Why does social mediaattract so many people?

Previously I thought that content and news feed keep constant excitement and enable me to return again and again.

Finally, I got the answer after reading Jaron Lanier’s book Ten Arguments for Deleting Your Social Media Accounts.

He described everything so perfectly because of being at the center of the creation of algorithms.

These ten arguments are:

People lose free will
Algorithms make difficult for people to correct themselves
People easily become assholes using social media
The truth in social media is undermined
Nobody hears what you say on social media if you do not shout loudly and behave in a reckless way
The empathy evaporates using social media
People lose joy
Profits on social media do not occur in an honest way
Social media mixes up politics
Social media does not care about your soul

Does social media cares about your emotional being and soul?

There are two different things: emotions and soul. Social media uses algorithms to explore human weaknesses and, later on, its uses for their excellent. You see ads after visiting a website and other similar topics jumping into your social media feed.

Do you think that somebody cares about your feelings? Yes, family or friends, but not random commenters and acquaintances who are attracted by algorithms.

Besides, social media is full of fake accounts that make a mess and can interfere with serious things such as forming opinions.

Knowing that machines regulate our emotions and influence makes me unhappy about virtual friends and various topics.

The previous year and this one differ immensely. Social media did not add any easiness and explanation of what was going on. Thankfully, alternative press shows up. It does not push you in the direction picked by algorithms, at least for now.

Jaron Lanier was right that giving up on social media would free from misery, emptiness in the soul, and waste of time.

A good book can make a difference that will serve as a tool for human evolution, not degradation.

How To Lose Weight And Body Fat?

May 6, 2018 By Nemira Leave a Comment

How to lose weight and body fat question bothers everybody who wants to fit in jeans, look comfortable at the beach or want to fit into society’s standards. I could tell that these norms are crazy and unacceptable for everybody conscious of physical and mental health. However, thousands of individuals will want to decide how to fit into one or another piece of clothing.

What Do You Need To Know About Losing Weight?

The body suffers when you lose weight fast andquickly without thinking about the consequences. When you lose weight intentionally, you need to know the condition of your healthyour health condition. Some people stay on one product diet and wonder why they do not feel right.

Why does it happen? The body needs vital nutrients every day for metabolism. Deficiency disturbs the proper job of organs.

What Is The Best Way To Be On The Diet?

You can start the day with a protein-rich breakfast. In this way, you will not feel fatiguedtired and dizzy after the big load of carbohydrates and caffeine.

Skipping water does not work too. Dehydration leads to the loss of minerals vital for bodily functions.

Simple measures such as counting calories, checking nutrition facts, getting plenty of rest, and getting rid of the stress will do wonders for you. Overall, it is nothing strange or miraculous about losing weight.

When you change lyour ifestyle, you change centimeters or inches around your waist.

Look at your daily schedule and consumed foods. You do not need to go to Whole Foods and empty your wallet. Just eating plenty of fats, good ones, and proteins, your body will produce enough carbohydrates for the needed amount in the blood.

Fats, such as food high in omega-3 fatty acids and high-quality proteins, can keep us in shape. The body can produce the needed amount of carbohydrates from fat and protein.

Besides, taking supplements can help to curb appetite and stop cravings. One of the know supplements is Vito Slim:

What Does Fatten Us?

Lifestyle
Processed food
Sweets
Stress

Do you know that sitting is the second smoking? Yes, unfortunately, it is. When I sit too long by the computer, I feel that my but hurts, and when I get up, I feel stiff and lazy. Sitting sfor hort periods will not harm you.

However, people sit everywhere: at an office, at home, in cars or buses. We do not walk anymore as a few decades ago.

When we sit, we do not burn calories.

Overall, civilization is supposed to bring delightful things to us. However, looking at statistics, there is nothing to be proud of. We saved some animals from extinction, but what will be with the human race?

Some people are still in excellent help, but plenty of us need to get a grip and think about how we live and what we put in our mouth mouths.

You can blame everybody for what you want, but nobody will change circumstances except you. Short breaks at the office, yoga poses such as Cobra can be done for a few minutes. You will stretch muscles that are lazy during the sitting time. The blood will flow to places pressed at the time while residing on the chair.

Processed Food

I know that it sounds boring, and everybody has heard that pizza and soda are bad for us and that pizza and soda are bad for us a hundred times. However, nobody stops and turns their bad habits into benefits for their health and well-being.

Eating processed food in tiny portions and seldom not will fatten us. Unfortunately, plenty of us is addicted to fast food, soda drinks, and the couch.

How Does Processed Food Harm Us?

First and all, processed food is dead. There are no vitamins or enzymes which vital to the body. Synthetic vitamins are not the same as from Nature.

Processed food is full of preservatives, chemicals, and fillers. Why do manufacturers add this stuff to the menu? Chemicals prolong shelf life. It saves money for the merchant but not for the customer. Why? You will get outstanding bills from doctors when you get problems with processed food.

Sugar s a part of the gloomy picture — we all like tasty food. Unfortunately, we do not think where the taste came from. Processed meats, bread, cookies, cakes, and condiments have plenty of sugar.

High fructose corn syrup helps reduce costs, but it does not bring any benefits to us — it is known that the average person in the USA consumes at least 149 pounds per year.

Besides, that processed food lacks nutrients and is full of sugar; it decreases the number of minerals vital for our bodies. Deficiency leads to skin problems, indigestion, heart, and kidney disorders, diabetes, etc.

Sweets

I know what it means when I cannot find a piece of chocolate at my house. I do not scream or break plates, but I walk or jump to the car to buy something tasty. Thankfully, I can live without candies, cookies, or cakes, but chocolate is number one.

Interestingly, in Europe, I am not as crazy about chocolate as I am here. I associate it with a lack of stress and a less urbanized environment.

Why Do We Crave For Sweets?

Sweets give momentarily pleasure, a sense of comfort. Some people experience energy and joy for a while. However, the enormous usage of sweets leads to the throw of balance in the body.

We do not need plenty of sugar in the blood. Usually, the whole human blood is less than one teaspoon of sugar. It is about 4-5 grams. However, when we consume sweets, we get more than 4 grams.

One portion of Trader Joe’s Belgium Chocolate is 10 grams in mine. What does it mean?

The pancreas must be patient and keen to produce insulin, which controls the amount of sugar in the bloodstream. The islets of Langerhans detect the excess sugar, secrete insulin, and the situation normalizes.

The overconsumption of sweets overstimulates the pancreas, which secrets too much insulin.

The hypothalamus issensitive to the excess of sugar in the blood endocrine reactions. As a consequence, endocrine reflex occurs. The brain adjusts to sugar intake and becomes highly sensitive to the stimuli.

In this way, individuals become addicted to sweets and crave them when they do not get them.

Stress

Stress is a protective condition when the body prepares to escape from predators. We do not have dinosaurs now, but we have environmental problems such as pollution, electromagnetic fields, and city noise. Plenty of humans is lonely. Social isolation does not bring any joy, and health increases.

Conditions at work can be stressful. Bad habits such as overspending or drinking can create problems too.

Overall, it is not the end of the world. Plenty of us does have fewer or more problems. The difference is how we solve and conquer challenges.

Most important is how do we solve them. Some of us see problems as big mountains, and some see them as bridges to the next period in life.

We have brains and minds, which are gold mines between ears.

Techniques such as meditation, exercises of any kind, socializing, volunteering, and helping the less fortunate will clear stress from your life, at least for this time when you are busy with activity. Later on, it will be a more comfortable stand against harmful habits.

Wrapping Up

I hope thatyouthat you will find out how to lose weight and body fat. If you are obese, remember that there is always hope and a reala, natural way to change the situation. It takes time and patience.

However, the change in habits and lifestyle can bring beneficial results. There are ways how to lose weight and body fat:

Eat nutritious food in small portions. Get up from the table when you ateeat your part. After twenty minutes, you will feel that your stomach is full. It takes time to communicate between the brain and the digestion system.
Move. Start with short walks if you have trouble walking. Choose stairs over elevators. Leave a car far away from shops or work. Find a friend who is willing to change your lifestyle. There are groups on Facebook or just Google for similar activities.
Try communicating with positive people and those who can be examples or mentors to you. You will get inspiration and maybe fill find new friends between them.
Enrich your diet with minerals. You can find more information here.

How about you? Do you need to fight with additional weight? Do you have any methods of how to shed some pounds? It would be nice to hear from you. Please leave a comment below.

Can Miracles Happen Today?

April 28, 2018 By Nemira Leave a Comment

Can miracles happen today? Of course, they can and happen every minute. We do not see them and do not hear about it unless something urgent happens to us. We feel a need to ask for intervention and help. Plenty of us lacks the concentration for small details. Daily routine keeps most of us on the one track without having time to stop and smell the roses.

You can see how the gray day becomes a sunny one from the video above. I believe in miracles, but this was documented. There are too many coincidences that I would count it just a beautiful experience.
Wikipedia has a beautiful description of the miracle:

A true miracle would, by definition, be a non-natural phenomenon, leading many rational and scientific thinkers to dismiss them as physically impossible (that is, requiring violation of established laws of physics within their domain of validity) or impossible to confirm by their nature (because all possible physical mechanisms can never be ruled out).

This change in weather was natural. However, the gray day could be the same and without changes. It seems that somebody sensed my wish to see the blue sky and sun and make this event happen right away.

I did not think about miracles at this time. I wanted to take pictures to remember this journey.

In the short slideshow, you can not see which time was. You can see how it happened. However, I will add images below with exact dates from the first photo until the end.

This image is the first when I decide to take them despite cthe louds and gray appearance. What the heck, I thought. I am by this mighty ocean; I need to use every moment when I am here.

You see that some time went after seeing the difference between images. In the slideshow, you cannot look at the data. I intentionally added a hit ere to prove how it did happen.

You see that just seven minutes have gone by, and the color of the surroundings is different. More sun, few clouds. Nothing similar wtoto hat it. It was a half-hour ago.

Between these pictures are more stopped moments where you can see how this transformation happened. I could compare this event with the opening of the flower bud. However, it takes a longer time and more patience to register movements of petals. Here Nature was gracious to show many sides of the weather. The end was unbelievable, like in the fairytale.

Miracles Happen

Miracles happen, but not everybody has a chance to experience them or has the time to think about what happened. Overall, I do not want to analyze how and why it happened. I know that the world is more god than without mess or harm.

Shit happens, as one guy from Forrest Gump told us. So what? We need to move on. If something terrible happenedhappenshappened happens, it is the best way to help somebody who needs more attention. In this way, it is easy to forget or escape the ousylousylousy lousy mood from the awful, horrible experience.

Helping to help others, you change the gruesome energy into the positive one because the help never will be wasted. You shift heavy loads from your shoulders for somebody invisible who scatters them and blows away from you.

Cherishing Moments

These moments like this mentioned above, when darkness was changed with the sun’s light,c can remind you of the times of sorrow or just weakness that not everything is lost.

Lousy time will pass, sooner or later, and we will have sunshine again. For me, these miracles are like beacons that lift and push forward. They do not let linger ages over mistakes, foolishness, or loss of the right friend.

Not everybody of us has clairvoyance gifts. We cannot see that will happen. Plenty of us does not have mentors or friends who can support us in our needneeds.

However, we cannot stay in one place. We need to move forward. If you cannot change the place where you live, but you want to do it, you can at least change your thinking. It will let you escape from frames where you often put yourself.

What do I mean? Plenty of us makes restrictions in our heads, talking nonsense like I am too old, I am also young, I am too fat, and so on.

Remembering that most of us think about ourselves and others are in the last place. People are not rude. They are selfish, and many of us have an ego that does not let us elaxrelax. It reminds us that we need to be afraid or that we are not safe.

I think that this miraculous event happened to me when I was completely relaxed. I was not mad when I saw the dark ocean. I just let go and enjoyed every moment of it.

Thankfully, the gift was here. I do not know how it happened, but it documented the image after image during more asthan eighty-minute periods. It is a reality that I cannot forget or erase.

Do you have an experience like this? I guess that you do. Maybe you forgot, or you think you are not worthy of enjoying miracles of Nature or divine agency. If you believe in this way, you are entirely wrong.

There is plenty of space under the sun for everybody. If you do not have friends or family, Nature always will be your best friend. Of course, if you will pollute or do harm, sooner or later, people, not just you, will experience a nice kick in the but.

I read this article where an author was astonished by the stubbornness of people who live by beaches. They do not want to move. They know that flooding is realnatural, and houses will go underwater sooner or later. These individuals try to escape the harsh reality. Will they succeed? Maybe.

Back to the miracles. I think that our Earth and Universe are miracles. You and your dog or cat are miracles. Little sparrow is a miracle. You can find a bright side in everything if you look closer.

Do You Prevent Depression

April 23, 2018 By Nemira Leave a Comment

Do you prevent depression? To avoid it, you need to know what it is. Depression can happen to anyone who is magnesium deficient, takes medication, or lost a job, spouse, or favorite toy. History of depression in the family, harmful habits such as alcohol, smoking, overconsumption of sugar, and the experience of stressful events during pregnancy or after it can trigger the rise of anxiety, panic attacks, or depression.

Nobody needs it. We know how better to spend time enjoying life, family, and friends. However, shit happens, as one guy from Forrest Gump told. What can we do?

When we know why depression does happen, we can take preventative measures to push this condition over the cliff, leaving us on the blooming meadow without any problems. It is an exaggeration, but we need to understand that we are responsible for our actions.

Of course, pregnancy and babies are among the most blessed events in human lives. However, if we know about the possibility of being depressed, we can take care of ourselves or our loved, loved ones.

What Does Happen During And After Pregnancy?

The body experiences hormonal shifts during biological changes. It is reasonable because Nature misis ade in this way. These shifts modify the ways how neurotransmitters behave in the body. However, individuals can react to hormonal changes. Neurotransmitters can speed or slow down the transmission between neurons. It can feel like confusion, anxiety, and depression.

The Role Of Gut Bacteria

Scientists proved that the gut produces the same chemicals as the brain does. It concludes that when the balance in the heart is disturbed, the number of neurotransmitters can be altered.

You know that the brain produces serotonin, the hormone which makes us feel good. GABA is created in the brain too. These hormones are produced in the gut also. The difference is that, for example, GABA does not cross the blood-brain barrier.

However, the disturbing neurotransmitter balance in the gut affects our mood. How does it happen? Gut bacteria influence neurotransmitter balance through metabolic pathways where neuroactive compounds are made — In this way, behavior and brain development change.

What does it mean? It means that gut bacteria must be in shape. When other toxic bacteria take over, various toxins are produced, and we experience changes in mood, anxiety, or depression.

Food without vital nutrients cannot support metabolic processes in the whole body. In this way, people experience various disorders.

The Role Of Vagus Nerve

The Vagus nerve connects organs and the gut to the brain. It is just because the brain command center needs to get information about what is happening here. The insular cortex is a region that monitors and interprets how the body feels. Nerve impulses go from brain to gut and organs and back. Impulses from nerve endings travel from the GI tract and stomach to the insular cortex.

In this way, you can feel if discomfort occurs in the stomach or the gut; what is interesting is that nerves use GABA for interaction in the vagus nerve. If the balance of GABA is affected, you can feel changes in mood inonein.

It means that your brain listens to the gut. When the microbiome is disturbed, hormone balance changes too. In this way, the brain reacts to modification and gives us feelings of the wrong mood, anxiety, or depression. Not so much fun is here.

Serotonin For Mood

The brain and gut produce serotonin, a hormone making us feel good. When stress occurs, the production in the brain lowers. Happily, the heart can compensate for this loss and produce more serotonin.

It is fascinating that bacterial serotonin, different from GABA, can cross the blood-brain barrier and positively affect mood, appetite, and feelings.

How Can You Keep The Gut Bacteria Happy?

You see that disbalance in the gut can affect well-being. It can lead to depression too. Jack Gilbert, Ph.D., and Rob Knight, Ph.D. ,m ention diet with omega-3 fatty acid supplementation and probiotics. They describe the clinical trial in their book Dirt Is Good when people took probiotics.

After one month, people who took probiotics…” had a significant reduction in psychological distress, including less depression, anxiety, anger, and hostility, and interestingly also showed improved problem-solving.”

Dr. Andrew Weil M.D. recommends food rich in omega-3 fatty acids to prevent inflammation.

Magnesium Role

Magnesium is a vital mineral, whichandwhich and deficiency can bring many problems to the body. We can be depressed, anxious, and experience fatigue and panic attacks without fixing itthem.

Magnesium takes part in the body’s metabolism. According to Dr.Carolyn Dean M.D., N.D., the author of The Magnesium Miracle, “Anxiety and depression are often nutrient deficiency diseases and chemical sensitivities, certainly not drug deficiency diseases.”

How Does Magnesium Help For Depression?

Magnesium participates in the production of serotonin in brain and gut cells. You know that serotonin is a hormone-making you feel good. What happens when our brain and gut do not produce enough serotonin? We cry or become mad; we are depressed or confused.

Sufficient magnesium helps to keep the body’s biochemistry in check. This mineral prevents depression and may treat it; according to Dr.Carolyn Dean M.D., N.D, it prevents depression may treat it.

The Best Multivitamin For Mental Health

The best multivitamin and brain food are from TrueHope company. They are leaders and immensely successful in helping people with various mental disorders such as depression or schizophrenia.

Eating food with vital nutrients which keep your gut bacteria happy and, in the same way, your brain content will save you plenty of energy and wellness. Minerals such as magnesium will provide needed support for the body’s metabolism.

Food supplements such as EMPoverplus Advanced formula will fill the gap with vital nutrients.

Salt or Without Salt?

November 18, 2017 By Nemira Leave a Comment

Can people live with salt or without salt? Salt is essential to bodies because high salt contains trace minerals, such as Himalayan or Celtic Sea Salt. However, sodium comes in various brands, types, origins, and qualities.

According to Dietary Guidelines for Americans, people consume too much sodium. The amount of salt is 3500 mg of sodium per person. It means that limits are overturned to the side where heart disease risks are increased.

The recommendation from Dietary Guidelines is 2300 mg per person. You see that the amount is almost twice more considerable.

Do We Add By Ourselves Too Much Of Salt?

We do not need to blame the salt shaker. Plenty of sodium hides in processed food. If you check labels before buying, sodium takes a substantial amount as the constituent.

Why Does Sodium Harm Us?

Sodium, by itself, is not poison. We harm ourselves when using whitened salt without minerals consuming too much of it.

How Does Sodium Affect Our Bodies?

According to health professionals, the consumption of sodium, using 2300 mg per day, could lower blood pressure. Consumer Reports cite Andreas Kalogeropoulos, M.D., Ph.D., an associate professor at Stony Brook University School of Medicine. He says that people who would change their sodium intake from high to moderate will improve cardiovascular health.

Salt or without salt

The high amount of sodium affects the kidneys. When is too much sodium in our food, the salt reaches the blood where it is stored? This situation increases water retention and blood volume.

Consequences are not pleasant for the heart because it needs to pump more complex blood. The blood pressure increases and arteries are pressed and stiffened.

Besides, people do not drink plenty of water. Most Americans use soda drinks where sugar plays the role of the bad guy.

Ways To Decrease Sodium Intake

Start by using less sodium. Taste buds will adapt slowly. Think about children who do not know what salt is . They started to like it when processed foods were introduced to them.
Read labels on the packaged food. Nobody wants to poison you. The salty food stays longer on shelves. It is your responsibility to think about your health.
Cook at home as much as possible. You can make dishes for a couple of days and bring some of them for lunch at work. In this way, you will escape temptation and reach for potato chips or donuts. Homemade food consists of products chosen by you. You will save money cooking at home. The taste will be different. You will add spices, not just salt. In this way, the consumption of salt will decrease gradually.

Conclusion

Everything is possible when we start to take care of ourselves. Heart diseases are no joke. Consuming significant amounts of sodium hidden in processed food can hurt us. Using the methods mentioned above, you can adapt to the new taste and improve your health.

Important Nutrient Diet

November 17, 2017 By Nemira Leave a Comment

Nutrients from diet give the body energy, building substances, and tools to protect from invaders. An important nutrient diet is a diet that is full of essential nutrients. Without the proper nutrients, the body would starve, would be sluggish, and not be able to function at its full potential.

The Western diet is full of processed and missing substances. Sugar, heated oils, white flour, meat with antibiotics, and the lack of vegetables, minerals, proteins, and vitamins throw the body out the balance.

We see results in the street or on airplanes when people cannot fit in the seat.

We May Miss These Nutrients In Our Diet

Individuals who consume a typical American diet can miss these vital nutrients:

Calcium

I read that calcium is abundant in a modern diet. However, we do not get calcium from authentic sources such as almonds, bok choy, canned salmon with bones, broccoli rabe, broccoli, white beans, and tofu. Most of us choose fast food such as pizza or hamburgers, where calcium does not absorb efficiently.

We get a full array of vitamins, enzymes, and fibers by eating calcium-rich vegetables. Processed calcium does not bring any good to the body because it is in a synthetic form, not as Nature created.

Fiber

Fiber comes from raw food or is slightly cooked. The body benefits from fiber because it stimulates the immune system, lowers blood pressure, helps lose weight, helps move bowels, and fights inflammation.

Good sources of fibers are legume, nuts, whole grains, seeds, fruits, and vegetables. It is recommended to get at least 20 to 30 grams of fiber daily.

Magnesium

Over eighty percent of American people are deficient in magnesium. It means plenty of problems with the nervous system, heart, muscle, energy production, and body metabolism. Over sixty-five conditions require magnesium.

Why do we not get enough magnesium from food? The soil is depleted. Farmers do not mineralize it. Plants and animals do not get magnesium from the land. The human being who stands at the end of a chain is left without vital minerals, not just magnesium.

Potassium

Potassium is a missing nutrient in the diet of Americans. Only 2 percent get the required dosage of potassium: 4700 mg per day.

Bananas, leafy greens, potatoes, legumes, and salmon are rich in potassium.

Vitamin B 12

Vitamin B12 diminishes with age. People can sense fatigue, anemia, loss of appetite, constipation, and weight loss.

Excellent sources of vitamin B12 are fish, beef, cheese, milk, eggs, and yogurt.

Conclusion

The Western diet is poorly equipped with nutrients such as enzymes, vitamins, minerals, proteins, and fiber. It means that individuals will experience the consequences of deficiencies. Do we need to wait for it?

It is better to find the right prevention tools and use them to protect the most precious assets: health and peace of mind.

You can read more about supplementation here. We do not get nutrients from food. What we get is only a part of the whole balanced diet. We need to give all the essential nutrients to the body. It is possible with the help of dietary supplements.

Beneficial Bacteria Human Body

November 16, 2017 By Nemira Leave a Comment

When you hear the words beneficial bacteria human body, what first comes to mind? The gut? Yes, you are right. The stomach is famous nowadays. Little friends and occupants of bowels share some fame too.

You would think about what is disgusting? Not for me because I saw plenty of animal guts. Besides it, I experienced the benefits of the well-behaving microbiome, and I was punished when I spoiled them.

What do I mean? Trader Joe’s Belgian chocolate, croissants, and plenty of bread from the bakery do not feel cozy in my gut. Why? Till now, I learned that it is better to enjoy these goodies in moderation, with very little restraint.

You would think, who cares about this bacteria? You would watch if you dug into this fascinating world.

I think about bacteria in the gut of individuals with character and the need to be told how to behave. If we did not control what we eat and take care of our bodies, we would experience rebelling and turmoil from the microbiome.

Food’s Influence

I knew that we are what we eat. It is right in every area of interaction with food. Researchers found out that gut bacteria can ferment fiber. From fiber, metabolites called short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are produced.

Interestingly, insulin-producing cells can sense SCFAs in the gut. It seems that these cells like it. Insulin secretion increases when SCFAs are abundant in the body.

What has it shared with the food? Oral probiotics such as Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG and fiber intake nourish SCFAs-producing bacteria. The fermentation increases, and it leads to SCFA production.

According to scientists Jack Gilbert, Ph.D. and Rob Knight, Ph.D., the adaptation of diet and the usage of probiotics can make a difference in insulin secretion. It means less diabetes and more happy individuals.

The Impact of Beneficial Bacterias For Human Body

Microbes in the gut are responsible for our well-being. It means that beneficial bacteria can

affect mental health
help lose weight
boost and shape the immune system
affect growth and development in children
improve digestion and absorption of food
reverse allergies
reduce ear infections
help with diarrhea
control the child’s weight after changing the microbiome
lower levels of chemical bisphenol A called BPA
help deal with depression

These benefits are just a part of the bigger picture. Why? Because scientists continuously find something exciting about gut bacteria. They see connections between the gut and brain. They see microbiome involvement in celiac disease and diabetes.

Conclusion

It is okay to be exposed to the dirt. It is especially essential for babies and children. Microbes allow the body to strengthen the immune system and grow inside the gut healthy and beneficial bacteria. The sterile environment is harmful because we do not learn how to protect ourselves from invaders. Thanks to the contact with dirt, the body becomes resistant to the foes and invaders. Children who have contact with dogs, play outside, and roll in the meadow or dig the soil, do not become sick.

According to Jack Gilbert and Rob Knight, both are Ph.D., the dirt is good.

Do you have any thoughts? Please leave a comment below. I would be glad to answer.

Update from the source of McGill University

There is some excellent news about the benefits of bacteria in the gut. Scientists made the study with fruit flies. Do you know these disappointing creatures which pop from nowhere and quadruple every minute? These flies were fed with a combination of probiotics and the herbal supplement called Triphala. They found out that flies longevity increased at sixty percent, and protection from chronic diseases associated with aging was remarkable.

Satya Prakash, the professor of biomedical engineering insMcgill’s Faculty of Medicine and senior author of the study, emphasizes the importance of microbiome health to the whole human body. Foods are metabolized better and more efficiently in the gut, thanks to the influence of probiotics.

You know that there is a connection between the gut and brain. It is called the gut-brain axis. Brain activity depends on the quality of the microbiome. If we have healthy bacteria in the stomach, we do not experience irritable bowel syndrome, neurodegeneration, or depression.

Fruit flies have similarities with mammals at seventy percent regarding their biochemical pathways. There is a suggestion that a diet with antibiotics can benefit from a healthy and long life. Sounds nice.

Why Does Body Need Magnesium?

November 15, 2017 By Nemira Leave a Comment

Why the body needs magnesium? Magnesium is an essential mineral. It participates in all areas of the body’s metabolism. Magnesium deficiency creates turmoil and can lead to chronic disorders. Strong words? Let’s check out.

Magnesium Benefits

Magnesium gives relief from anxiety, depression, and migraine
Magnesium aids in the cases of stroke, pain, neuralgia, head injuries, brain surgeries
Magnesium helps lower cholesterol and hypertension
Magnesium is vital for the heart
Magnesium relieves PMS, helps through menopause
Magnesium is essential in cases of infertility, pregnancy, preeclampsia, and cerebral palsy
Magnesium aids for osteoporosis, arthritis, kidney stones, and kidney disease
Magnesium helps in cases of chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia
Magnesium is needed use for environmental illnesses
Magnesium prevents chronic diseases such as diabetes.

Magnesium is necessary for sixty-five conditions. Adrenal fatigue, bowel disease, arthritis, hypoglycemia, insomnia, and plenty more.

You would ask why nobody tells you about the importance of magnesium?

First, doctors do not learn about nutrition. Magnesium is a nutrient, not a drug.

Second, magnesium is a mineral. You can not patent it. If you can not license it, you can not make millions of it. It is simple. Everything simple is genial. In this case, people could benefit from this vital but pure mineral, nobody else.

Magnesium Deficiency

More than 80 percent of Americans are deficient in magnesium. Thanks to the constant farming and depleting soil without giving back, plants and animals do not get magnesium. We, people, do not get it too.

Of course, some individuals can afford to buy food from farmers who mineralize the soil. However, it is a drop in the ocean. Magnesium deficiency costs us a hefty price: our health. You would ask why? Because plenty of health practitioners do not know about magnesium and its importance to the body’s metabolism.

People use chemicals because they do not know better ways to help themselves. They hope for the best, but the hope is practical when we have done everything possible. When the body needs magnesium and we feed ourselves with chemicals, the situation will not change.

Magnesium will not pop out from the pill because chemical constituents are different. It is the same as you would ask for soup and the waiter will bring you a bowl of sugar.

Chemicals can not dig from the body magnesium if magnesium is absent. In conditions mentioned earlier, magnesium could reverse the situation to the best outcome.

Do you doubt it? Please read a book, The Magnesium Miracle, the second edition. If you have some problems, you will be nicely surprised. Bette, go to Amazon and read the feedback under the ReMag supplement. You would think where I was before?

Conclusion

The importance of magnesium was known many decades ago. Strangely, most health practitioners do not talk about it widely and openly to the public. There are hundreds of scientific papers and research about the benefits of magnesium. Doctors such as Dr. Carolyn Dean M.D., N.D., Dr. J. Mercola, Mildred Seelig, M.D., Dr.Bella T. Altura, and Dr.Burton M.Altura published many research papers, books, and articles. Finally, ReMag, the pico-ionic liquid magnesium, absorbable at 100 percent cellular level, can reach everybody who needs magnesium. There are no laxatives and other side effects. It means that we can get magnesium directly into our cells and feel changes in our bodies.

Magnesium has side effects as a laxative. Most magnesium supplements work in this way. Individuals can benefit from magnesium because it is a mineral and vital. Magnesium relaxes muscles, and waste can leave faster and more smoothly. Besides it, magnesium does not harm.

Magnesium Deficiency

Magnesium deficiency leads to sixty-five conditions. Constipation is one of them.

What does magnesium do in the body?

Magnesium has plenty of functions, such as:

Cofactor for over 800 enzyme systems

Protects cells from an overflow of calcium

Lowers cholesterol

Helps heart

Protects telomeres

Relaxes muscles

Aids for brain

How Does It Help Magnesium For Constipation?

Magnesium relaxes muscles. Usually, constipation occurs when people eat junk food and do not get fiber. A sedentary lifestyle adds some power too.

Junk food does not have any nutrients which participate in the body’s metabolism. Magnesium acts as a laxative when it does not absorb in the body. However, using magnesium to relieve constipation is not the wisest solution. Why? Most magnesium supplements do not incorporate well. They had a laxative effect and were removed from the waste. Unfortunately, it does not remove the cause why constipation occurs.

Consuming ReMag is absorbed 100 percent, and the body gets the full benefit at the cellular level. You do not have loose stools because it goes straight to the cells. What does it mean?

Magnesium would help the body to get on track again. Drinking plenty of water, having a diet rich in vital nutrients and fibers, giving up sedentary life, and exercising as much as possible would keep constipation away.

Conclusion

Magnesium supplements can help just momentarily. If you want to get rid of constipation, you must change your diet and use plenty of nuts, seeds, nuts, and beans. Besides, it is most crucial: drink plenty of water. Dr. Carolyn Dean advised drinking water with ReMag and adding a little bit of Celtic Sea Salt or Himalayan salt. Water per day must be half of your weight in ounces—magnesium and multimineral supplements help keep the body in balance and wellness.

Importance Of Leafy Vegetables

The importance of leafy vegetables is enormous, especially when obesity reaches the heights of the Swiss Alps. Nutrients in vegetables are vital because most individuals do not eat food rich in vitamins, minerals, and enzymes. It leads to chronic disorders.

The Importance of Antioxidants

You can imagine what oxygen does to the iron. After some time, the piece of iron becomes rusty, and from the substantial portion of the metal, just a remembrance is left of what it was before. It is the same with our bodies.

We are affected continuously by pollution, radiation, exposure to sun rays, acid rain, etc. Besides it, when we eat empty calories, so-called junk food, we do not get any protection against chemicals, additives, and preservatives.

Thankfully, leafy vegetables could be a real help, especially if we would drink smoothies. Eating vegetables as rabbits do takes plenty of time. Besides, it is not tasty. When we use the blender, we can add the banana or shredded coconut to improve the taste. The blenders make the drink easy to digest and get vital nutrients.

According to Dr. Andrew Weil, people do not eat enough leafy vegetables. Plant-based foods must be changed over time. Variety counts and gives an array of different nutrients.

Importance of Leafy Vegetables

Leafy vegetables help fight against oxidative stress. The oxidation can harm cells by taking electrons. When the cell is not complete, it ceases to function correctly and dies.

Plants contain phytonutrients. They are protective compounds. People must have a habit eat plant-based food and especially leafy green vegetables. We would defend ourselves against the ravages of oxidative stress.

Our grandparents knew that they talked about telling us: eat your vegetables.
