Nutrition is the process of transferring the lightof the sun to our bodies. Good nutrition is balancedwith the rhythm of earth's cycles, moderation andsocial health. Cravings are natural and usuallyhealthy. Every food has nutritional as well asenergetic qualities. Proper nutrition balances bothvitamin, phytonutrient and energetic needs in asimple harmony that gives life and balance in everysense.

Secret #1: Eat your food close to the source: Thesource of all energy in food is the sun. Eat yourfood as close to the source as you can. Thefressher the better. The cleaner the better. Ifyou can get organically grown food, that is best. If that won't fit into your life eat the food asfresh as you can. Fresh carrots from your owngarden are great. Carrots from the producedepartment of your store are good. Frozen or cannedcarrots are less vital and valuable.

Secret #2: Cook your vegetables slightly most ofthe time. Raw food will gradually wear down yourdigestive system. Raw fruits and vegetables aretough to digest and require a lot of energy to breakdown. If you steam or lightly cook your vegetablesyou will save your body alot of work. It may damagesome vitamins that naturally occur in food, but willleave your body in better shape to extract the fullmeasure of ivtamins that are left.

Secret #3: Eat food that grows in the climate thatyou live, in the season that it grows. Food carriesall the nutrient needed to balance your body withyour environment. If you eat food that grows inyour climate in that season you will be vibrantlyable to live in the climate that you live. But ifyou eat watermelon in Missouri in the winter it willrob your body of the needed tools to tolerate thecold humid conditions that exist in that climate. Ask a local gardener what things grow in yourclimate in that season if you arenot sure. Also, ifno food grows in your climate in the winter, eat thefood that stores well. Grains, meats, beans,carrots, potatoes, squash and onions store well andcan be eaten any time of the year in colder climates.

Secret #4: Gratitude is the one spice that letsevery food taste perfect. Food is the primary waywe blend with the variable season, climates andquirks in our environment. Eat each meal with aprayer of gratitude in your heart. How can we eatjunk food that is toxic to our system withgratitude? Gratidude helps improve your choices aswell as helps your body transform the nutrient intovital healthy tissue.

Include the Four Secrets of Nutrition and you willfind that most of your problems will slip away. Thekey to change is to always insert positive traitsthat replace negative traits rather than just tryand avoid the bad habits we slip into. Goodnutrition is a vital part of a healthy view of theworld.

Health Care costs: in our country are projected toexpand to match 53% of our gross national productwithin 18 years. Given our tax burden is around 45%of our income, this will leave you about 2% of yourincome to live on. If you are concerned about this,then choose to make a difference. Alternativemedicine reduces costs over 50% in one study. Italso produced better outcomes and higher patientsatisfaction. Learn to take care of your health,stop managing your diseases and pain.

The Problem of Pain:Pain is not a sensation. It is merely aninterpretation of the brain of impulses sent to thebrain by the body. If we seek to stop the pain andnot deal with the cause of the sensation we are justscratching the bear behind the ears. He will likeit until he gets hungry. If you are a painpacifier, you are controlled by your pain. If youreact to the pain in your body and not to the cause,you are accelerating the degree of degeneration yourbody suffers. We have never been good at managingpain without setting up more grave consequences inthe future. Always find and treat the cause andlearn from the pain rather than be held captive to it.

Migraine Linked to Risky Heart Health

People who live with migraine headaches show a"riskier" profile for cardiovascular disease thanthose without migraines, according to a new studypublished in the February 22nd issue of Neurology, thescientific journal of the American Academy ofNeurology. The large population-based study wasconducted among 5,755 participants in theNetherlands. Researchers identified 620 people withmigraine in the group from 5,135 people withoutmigraine.The study indicates that those with migraine wereconsidered 43 percent more likely to be smokers,though less likely to consume alcohol. People withmigraine with aura symptoms were 43 percent morelikely to have high cholesterol (240 or greater) and76 percent more likely to have high blood pressure.They were also nearly four times as likely to reporta history of either stroke or heart disease beforethe age of 45.Women with migraine were twice as likely to be usingoral contraceptives. Women with migraine were alsomore likely to report a history of high bloodpressure during pregnancy (gestational hypertension)than those without migraine.The findings suggest there may be a sharedpredisposition toward both migraine and heartdisease, said Lenore Launer, PhD, of the NationalInstitute on Aging and the senior author on thestudy. Men with migraine were almost twice as likelyto have a father with a history of early heartattack. Both men and women with migraine overallwere 1.78 times more likely to have a mother with ahistory of early heart attack.By BJS at 02/23/2005 - 06:30 | bioscience & medicine
