THIS VEGETABLE WILL FIX EVERYTHING WRONG IN YOUR BODY!



Beets have potent medicinal properties, and they are effective in treating a broad range of diseases.
They also have strong anti-cancer effects, and they derive their red color from anthocyanins.
Additionally, this vegetable contains betaine, which is an anti-inflammatory agent that promotes heart health.
Beets are also loaded with essential minerals and vitamins such as vitamins B1, B12, B2, and C as well as magnesium, copper, iodine, phosphorous, iron, and potassium.
Beets are effective in boosting blood flow, regulating cholesterol, and promoting efficient liver function.
They also detoxify the body and combat anemia in addition to slowing down aging and protecting the blood vessels.
They’re rich cellulose, antioxidants, and pectin, which is a special kind of fiber that boosts digestion. This strong vegetable safeguards against fatty liver disease.
Furthermore, beets are effective in boosting the stamina and performance during workout sessions, making them a great food for athletes.
You can eat this vegetable raw, baked, or cooked. The leaves are also rich in potassium and shouldn’t be thrown away.
According to studies, consuming potassium-rich foods can mitigate the risk of heart diseases and stroke by 21%.

WHAT THE URINE COLOR STATES ABOUT YOUR HEALTH



Did you know that your urine tells a lot about you?
The smell, consistency, and colour of your urine can be used to determine your way of life as well as the state of your health. At least 95% of urine is water, whereas the rest is a concoction of components that include chloride, urea, potassium, sodium, creatinine, among other dissolved ions.
Urine is commonly yellow in colour, and this is attributed to the existence of urobilin, which is a biochemical waste product formed from the breakdown of old red blood cells.
You will find the following urine colour chart quite helpful:


1. Transparent.
Appears like: Water.
This is an indication of over-hydration, which can water down vital salts, such as electrolytes, thereby creating a troublesome chemical imbalance in your blood.


2. Light yellow urine colour.
Appear like: Pale straw colour.
This is an indication a well-hydrated body. Keep up the excellent work!


3. Cloudy.
Appears like: An unclean martini.
A urine colour with a dirty martini seek to it could be a manifestation of a bladder infection. The cloudiness is occasioned by mucus, proteins, and tissues that are breaking down and coalescing.


4. Medium yellow urine colour.
Appears like: Lemonade.
You should drink some water as you might be dehydrated.


5. Dark yellow.
Appears like: Apple juice.
You seriously need to drink something. It may also be caused by heavy intake of  B vitamins.


6. Orange.
Appears like: Tang.
You are certainly dehydrated and you need water. According to Jill Buckley, M.D., orange-hued urine colour might also indicate the presence of bilirubin, which is a yellow-colored by-product of the natural breakdown of old red blood cells.


7. Pink.
Appears like: White Zinfandel.
This could be blood or you might have eaten plenty of beets. According to Sur, just a drop of blood in urine turns it pink, and you should see a urologist in this case. It could be due to an infection or an early indication of bladder cancer.


8. Darker pink.
Appears like: Cabernet.
This could be an indication of a significant amount of blood in your urine, and it might be a sign of a potential bladder infection or cancer. Also, kidney stones can trigger blood in the urine.


9. Dark pink.
Appears like: Red wine.
This is a great deal of blood, especially old blood that turns dark as it embolisms and breaks down.  According to Sur,

“The existence of old blood is really worrisome because it suggests a substantial amount of blood”

Likewise, it could mean that whatever is causing the bleeding has actually existed for a while. Sur says that if there is a great deal of (possibly old) blood,

“I want to put a scope inside. As far as I’m worried, it’s cancer up until tested otherwise.”



10. Brown.
Appears like: Coke.
This can be attributed to certain drugs, such as an antibiotic called metronidazole and the anti-malarial chloroquine. Bingeing on fava beans or rhubarb can also offer urine color of a cola-like color. That flat Coke appearance can  also be triggered by some kidney and liver disorders, or from excessively intense exercise. 

The muscles utilize myoglobin to catch oxygen for energy. Hence, exaggerated exercise can  trigger substantial muscle damage, making the myoglobin to seep out into your blood stream and through to your urine. This causes the urine to turn dark brown. In such situation, you need to visit a physician for a myoglobin urine test; excess myoglobin in the blood can overwhelm the kidneys, leading to kidney failure.


11. Blue/Green.
Appear like: A Jell-O shot.
Excessive consumption of foods tainted with synthetic dyes can paint your urine in carnival colours. 

It could also be the case of negative effects of medication like Uribe, which is used in the treatment of UTIs. The effect is attributed to the component methylene blue. It is harmless, nonetheless. 

Just continue taking your medication with plenty of water without worries.

FOOD AND IT'S BENEFIT

8 Principles of Food and Health











  • Principle #1 Nutrition represents the combined activities of the countless of food substances. The chemicals we get from the foods we eat are engaged in a series of reactions that work in concert to produce good health. These chemicals are carefully orchestrated by complex controls within our cells, and all through our bodies and these powers decide what nutrient goes where, how much of each nutrient is needed and when each reaction takes place.Our bodies have learned how to benefit from the chemicals in food as they are packaged together, discarding some and using others as they see fit.
  • Principle #2 Vitamin supplements are not a solution for good health. It is not that these nutrients aren’t essential. They are, but only when consumed as food, not as supplements. Isolating nutrients and trying to get benefits equal to those of whole foods (foods that are unprocessed and unrefined, or processed and refined as little as possible, before being consumed) reveals an ignorance of how nutrition operates in the body
  • Principle #3 There are virtually no nutrients in animal-based foods that are not better provided by plants.



As you can see, plant foods have dramatically more antioxidants, fibre, and minerals than animal foods. Animal foods, on the other hand, have much more cholesterol and fat. They also have slightly more protein than plant foods, along with more B12 and vitamin D, although the vitamin D is mainly due to artificial fortification in milk. Of course, there are some exceptions: some nuts and seeds are high in fat and protein (e.g., peanuts, sesame seeds) while some animal-based foods are low in fat, usually because they are stripped of their fat by artificial processing (e.g., skim milk). But if one looks a little more closely, the fat and the protein of nuts and seeds are different: they are more healthful than the fat and protein of animal foods. They also are accompanied by some important antioxidant substances. On the other hand, processed, low-fat, animal-based foods still have some cholesterol, lots of protein and very little or no antioxidants and dietary fibre, just like other animal-based foods. Since nutrients are primarily responsible for the beneficial effects of foods and because of these major differences in nutrient composition between animal- and plant-based foods, isn’t it, therefore, reasonable to assume that we should expect to see distinctly different effects on our bodies depending on which variety of foods we consume?

  • Principle #4 Genes do not determine disease on their own. Genes function only by being activated or expressed, and nutrition plays a critical role in determining which genes, good and bad are expressed. Genes give us our predispositions. We all have different disease risks due to our various genes. But while we will never know exactly which risks we are predisposed to, we do know how to control those risks. Regardless of our genes, we can all optimise our chances of expressing the right genes by providing our bodies with the best possible environment that is, the best possible nutrition.
  • Principle #5 Nutrition can substantially control the adverse effects of noxious chemicals. Our diet primarily determines whether we will have a disease or not. It is useful to think of this principle in another way: a chronic disease like cancer takes years to develop. Those chemicals that initiate cancer are often the ones that make headlines. What does not make headlines, however, is the fact that the disease process continues long after initiation, and can be accelerated or repressed during its promotion stage by nutrition. In other words, nutrition primarily determines whether the illness will ever do its damage
  • Principle #6 The same nutrition that prevents disease in its early stages (before diagnosis) can also halt or reverse disease in its later stages (after diagnosis). I believe that an ounce of prevention does equal a pound of cure, and the earlier in life right foods are eaten, the better one’s health will be. But for those who already face the burden of disease, we must not forget that nutrition still can play a vital role.
  • Principle #7  Nutrition that is truly beneficial for one chronic disease will support health across the board. Proper nutrition will generate health and prevent diseases across the board. Even if whole foods, plant-based diet is more effective at treating heart disease than brain cancer, you can be sure that this diet will not promote one disease while it stops another. It will never be “bad” for you. This one healthy diet can only help across the board.
  • Principle #8 Good nutrition creates health in all areas of our existence. All parts are interconnected. Our food choices have an incredible impact not only on our metabolism but also on the initiation, promotion and even reversal of disease, on our energy; on our physical activity, on our emotional and mental well-being and on our world environment. All of these seemingly separate spheres are intimately interconnected.
THE BENEFITS OF A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE are enormous. I want you to know that you can:
  • Live longer • look and feel younger • have more energy • lose weight • to lower your blood cholesterol 
  • Prevent and even reverse heart disease • lower your risk of prostate, breast and other cancers • preserve your eyesight in your later years 
  • Prevent and treat diabetes • avoid surgery in many instances • vastly decrease the need for pharmaceutical drugs
  • Keep your bones strong • Avoid impotence • avoid stroke • prevent kidney stones • keep your baby from getting Type 1 diabetes
  • Alleviate constipation • Lower your blood pressure • avoid Alzheimer’s • beat arthritis • and more
These are only some of the benefits, and all of them can be yours. The price? Simply changing your diet to a healthier one.

Juice Diets - The Benefits



Squishing fruit and vegetables is an excellent way to give your body a jump-start of good nutrition. I mentioned a good many benefits in my previous article but wanted to develop in more detail these ideas. Juicing is ever more popular, and we have started to understand how helpful to the body it can be, but some of the articles I have seen on my studies, seem to get a bit confusing. I don’t want to hear a load of medical terms about the mystery of how my body works, I want to know in simple ways; what it achieves and how good it is for me. I like things put directly, so I shall try to do this just below;
I'm going to set-out 3 excellent reasons why juicing is perfect for your body:

1. Juiced fruit and veg are digested by the body easier than food that isn’t juiced meaning the natural goodness gets into your system quicker.
2. When you juice, you are consuming more fruits and veggies than you would actually eat if they were whole. The result being there is more concentrated vitamin and mineral natural goodness in your body.

3. Detoxification – Simply put, all the packaged food we eat have many kinds of chemicals, for instance, preservatives and colorings, which are not natural for our body and can be harmful over time. Drinking freshly squeezed juice helps to wash these harmful chemicals (toxins) away
The following are how the body can benefit from juicing:

Having a healthy heart and improving the cardiovascular system:
The health packed vitamins in Fruit and veg like vitamins C and E help the blood to work efficiently and to stop it clotting. You may be aware of Cholesterol and Triglycerides, but quite simply they are the fat content in your blood which can cause, amongst other things, heart disease. Healthy blood makes everything run smoothly (Cardiovascular system) and so is excellent for your vital organs and a healthy heart. Vitamin C is evident in most vegetables and fruits, some more so than others. Some may surprise you, here are the 10 with the most:

1: Red and Green Hot Chilli Peppers
2: Guavas
3: Bell Peppers
4: Herbs such as Thyme & Parsley
5: Greens such as Kale and cress (Dark & leafy)
6: Broccoli, Cauliflower, Brussels Sprouts
7: Kiwi Fruits (Chinese Gooseberries)
8: Papayas (aka Lechoza, Mamão, Pawpaw)
9: Oranges, mandarins, tangerines, etc.
10: Strawberries

Vitamin E is present in the following fruit and vegetables; mango, blackberries, kiwi, asparagus and spinach.
Potassium in the heart & liver is beneficial because it helps to balance the effects of salt which can be negative which appears to be in everything we eat today. Fruit and vegetables rich in Potassium are; broccoli, peas, tomatoes, citrus fruits, cantaloupe, bananas, and apricots. Another reason Juicing is important is that you don't consume too many natural vitamins whereas taking into your bodies too many vitamins through supplements is not such a good idea.
Magnesium is vital vitamin to make the heart work efficiently and ensuring a heart that beats constantly. All sorts of berries, passion fruit, guava, dates, Banana’s, avocadoes and many types of beans are rich in Magnesium.
Not only, in juicing, can you find a lot of these crucial vitamins and minerals but it also causes weight loss which also contributes to less strain on the body’s vital organs. 

Detoxification of the body
The liver has lots of important purposes, such as getting rid of unwanted chemicals and toxins and ensuring the blood is clean. As I have previously mentioned, these toxins are discovered in the food we consume and are so common nowadays and juicing enables the dilution of chemicals and toxins and enables the body to extricate them.
You could have heard of the nutrients I am just about to list which can all be helpful in detoxifying the body by making the liver strong; antioxidants beta-carotene, vitamin C, vitamin E, and N-acetyl cysteine and niacin. You will discover a rich source of these nutrients in; Lemons, oranges and limes, Onions, carrots, artichoke, asparagus, broccoli, cabbage, kale, Brussel sprouts, cauliflower, garlic, beet, turmeric, and oregano.

Alkalizing your body (using vegetables):
In general, you will find that fruit is acidic, to balance this out it is beneficial to consume foods which are more alkali in nature (such as vegetables) that is why it is best to mix fruit and veggies when preparing to juice. This process can be quite complicated and needs some assistance. I have recommended a great course that provides for you to keep this balance and shows you just what fruit and vegetables you should be juicing and how the combinations work and what the benefit is.
I haven't got enough time in this article to go into why your bodies PH level should be less acidic, so I have set forth just a few reasons;
• Improved brain function
• Ensures blood sugar levels are normal
• Makes sure Cholesterol levels are maintained
• Efficient heart function
• helps to keep the circulatory system and that it is healthy
• Encourages normal energy levels
• Ensures healthy bones and joints,
• a healthy immune system
• Healthy digestion

Helping with healthy skin, hair, nails and eyes:
Some vitamins & minerals are excellent for healthy looking hair & skin. Vitamins A, C, E and Zinc (to name a few)

Vitamin A helps to strengthen your teeth, soft tissue, mucous membranes, vision, and skin. Vitamin A is found in dark green vegetables, Carrots, pumpkin, spinach, grapefruit, apricots and broccoli all have healthy levels of beta carotene. Beta-carotene (as an antioxidant), protects the body in its fight against free radicals, which sound like a dodgy bunch of left wingers but are actually not very helpful molecules that make you look older and-and contribute to chronic diseases.
By juicing blackberries and blueberries together will provide you with an excellent source of vitamins C and E.

A deficiency in riboflavin (vitamin B2) is known to be a cause of cracked lips, hair loss, dermatitis, oily skin and other types of skin conditions.
Fruit & veg full of Riboflavin are; Avocado, Banana, grapes, mangoes, passion fruit, mulberries, Kale, spinach, mushrooms, and asparagus.
For good healthy eyes, the best vitamin is vitamin A and specifically beta-carotene, which can be discovered in orange colored fruits and vegetables. Vitamin A is made from Beta-carotene by the body. I no doubt guess that you have heard it said that eating carrots help you to see better when it is dark! Well, you wouldn't be a long way from the truth, they have been scientifically proven to help your eyesight as vitamin A is essential for the retina to function properly and prevent a condition called night blindness happening.

Burning off energy!!
To juice vitamin and mineral packed fruit and veg mean one's body is filled with energy. Something like filling up your car with the best type of engine oil rather than really low-quality cooking
oil or something similar, you get the idea!!

Weight loss
With the name 'diet' in the title, you guessed this would come up. It's just what you have been 'weighting' for (sorry!!) I think you know the answer, It's why you've got this far. Nearly everyone has a sweet tooth (Unless you’re abnormal and probably not reading this!) The thing I love about fresh fruit and veg is the natural sweetness, Only that which is natural and healthy not processed. I really want to help you lose a bit of weight and feel so much healthier in your own skin, but it's not only about weight loss, it’s the buzz of your body feeling healthy as well.

I hope you enjoyed reading it!

Body Odor As An Indication To Sickness

Body Odor And Health















Do you know that the scent emitted by a person may be one of the first important clues leading to an early diagnosis? For centuries, body odor of humans has been used as a diagnostic tool in the medicine practice. Ancient Greek and Chinese civilizations used body scent to detect infectious diseases such as tuberculosis.

Body smell emanates not only from the skin but also the breath, blood, urine and other body fluids. It can reveal a lot about a person’s health and can be used to identify sickness to a certain extent. According to a Swedish research study by Karolinska Institutet, humans can smell sickness in somebody whose immune system is very active. This ability occurred within just a few hours of exposure to a bacterial endotoxin. “However, in this current study, we have studied the ability of humans to detect disease by smell”, Says Professor Mats J. Olsson, who led the study. “Being able to detect these smells would represent a critical adaptation that would allow us to avoid potentially dangerous illnesses. The question we asked ourselves in this study was whether such an adaptation might exist already at an early stage of the disease, thereby reflecting a biomarker for illness”.

Illnesses and Their Unique Smell

The Research of Professor Olsson and his team suggests that certain illnesses have their characteristic odors.
  • Schizophrenia and several rare inborn metabolism errors, caused by enzyme deficiencies, are revealed by a distinctive body odor.
  • Scrofula, an infection of the lymph nodes, smells like stale beer.
  • Yellow fever can cause a smell of raw meat.
  • An overactive thyroid gland can also cause stinky body odor.
  • Dysfunction in the kidneys and liver can cause a bleach-like smell.
  • Skin conditions such as vagabond’s disease, infected eczema, herpes labialis, and herpes zoster are linked with an unpleasant smell.
  • Syphilis can produce a strong fishy smell.
  • Diabetes emits a fruity aroma similar to that of decomposing apples. This is usually associated with the smell of ketones on the patient’s breath. The sweat also has a specific odor.
  • People with typhoid are reported to emit a smell comparable to that of freshly baked bread.
  • Gingivitis, tonsillitis, and Vincent’s angina can produce a rotten breath smell.
  • People with diphtheria emit a sweetish odor.
  • People suffering from uremia have a urine-like odor in their breath. It is called uremic fetor and is generated by the production of ammonia in the saliva.
  • Osteomyelitis provokes a fetid odor.
  • Diseases of the respiratory tract such as bronchiectasis, lung abscesses, and ozena are also associated with unpleasant smells.

How does Sickness Provoke Body Smell?

Diseases trigger chemical modifications in the body, accompanied by the production of different metabolic compounds. These changes in body chemistry result in various body odors. In the Swedish study, the link between smell and immune activation was to a certain extent associated with the increased level of cytokines. That means, the greater a participant’s immune response is, the more unpleasant odor he or she has. The results of this study strongly support the belief that ill people emit a chemical signal as a part of the sickness response. This body cue can be perceived by others.

When should you visit the doctor about body odor?

Some medical conditions may change how much a person sweats, while others can alter how we sweat, subsequently changing the way we smell. For example, hyperthyroidism (an over-active thyroid gland) can make people sweat much more, while liver and kidney diseases or diabetes can change the consistency of sweat so that the ill person smells differently. You should visit your doctor if:
  • You start sweating at night without any logical reason;
  • You sweat much more than you normally do;
  • You get cold sweats;
  • Sweating disturbs your daily routine;
  • Your body smells differently.
Body odor may in some cases be simply physiological. It can be associated with poor personal hygiene or strongly smelling foods such as garlic. However, there are proofs that, in some instances, bad body scent can be pathological and connected to a disease. The ability to detect body smells would help us avoid potentially dangerous illnesses. Ongoing research on smell diagnoses, electronic noses and “super smellers” like trained dogs is an enormous step in the right direction.
