12 Ways That Our Bodies Tell Us We Are Too Stressed

by December 4, 2016

Did you know studies have found that those who experience things like anxiety and stress are likely to tense and constrict their muscles? This can cause cramps and other issues overtime.

Do you suffer from stress related headaches? Stress is not something that goes away without being addressed. Sometimes your stress can even be caused by different body parts.

Chronic pain can be caused by stress according to a study done by Dr. Susanne Babbel. She states that “physical pain functions to warn a person that there is still emotional work to be done.” 

This is what your body might be telling you based off of Dr. Babbel’s theory:

bodyparts

Your Head

When you have a headache it can often be the result of worrying about small things. Relaxing is the best way to deal with this.

Your Neck

When you have a neckache it is often related to holding grudges.

Your Shoulders

Making tough decisions can and will take a toll on your shoulders. Sharing your problems with someone close to you will help lighten the load.

Your Lower Back

Pain in the lower back can be caused by the fear of loss or obsession over money. Financial worries are severely damaging to a person’s health as well as their relationships. Money does not buy happiness.

Your Upper Back

Upper back pain can be the result of feeling unappreciated. Experiencing a lack of support can hurt a person in many ways. Do not hold back words of affection.

Your Elbows

Humans often are stubborn when it comes to new things in general. Significant changes can be scary, this can cause joint pain.

Your Hands

You may suffer hand pain as the result of lack of companionship. Making friends may be the answer you need.

Your Knees

Knee pain can be the result of an inflated ego. Be aware that you are not the center of the world and all eyes do not have to be on you. Being aware of this will leave you feeling much more fulfilled.

Your Hips

When we are dealing with new situations our hips may become sore or in pain. This seems to signify a slight fear of change. Do not procrastinate big decisions. You will be just fine if you go ahead and get things over with.

Your Calves

If you are feeling possessive or jealous in a relationship your calves may hurt. This boils down to trusting one another. If you cannot trust the person you are with it is time to move on.

Your Ankles

This is a sign you need to pay more attention to yourself. You are never too busy to take care of yourself emotionally and physically.

Your Feet

Feet pain can be linked with apathy as it tries to keep our bodies from moving forward. Our feet seem to only hurt when everything is going in the wrong direction.

If you are dealing with unexplainable pain in any of these twelve areas you may need to evaluate your emotional state rather than your physical. When you fix the inside you are also fixing the outside. Stress can cause severe tension in all of the areas listed above. Instead of eating Tylenol try to take a day of relaxation. Cure your pain by reducing your stress levels. Listen to your body!

How Water Fasting Can Help You Live Longer

by December 4, 2016

Fasting is the act of abstaining from one or all kinds of food or drink for a certain period of time. Who knew that fasting could also have surprising health benefits all while increasing your lifespan?  

Fasting is most commonly associated with the month of Ramadan. Ramadan is when billions of Muslims around the globe engage in a declaration of faith by abstaining from certain foods and drinks. According to Dr. Michael Mosley – author of The Fast Diet Books – this eating plan can not only help people lose weight, but it offers an array of other health benefits. Dr. Mosley states, “Studies of intermittent fasting show that not only do people see improvements in blood pressure and cholesterol levels, but also in their insulin sensitivity.”  Another study conducted at The University of Southern California states that fasting in a period of 2-4 days can even “reboot” your immune system!

The healthy reaction fasting has on the body is that it allows the body to dip into the glucose that is stored in the liver and muscles. This process begins about 8 hours after the last meal was consumed. When the stored glucose is consumed, the body begins to burn fat as a source of energy, resulting in weight loss. Another interesting effect fasting has on the body is Autophagy. This vital process takes place in the Mitochondria. The process is basically when the body starts to eat itself in an orderly pattern in order to remove damaged parts. Cells in your body respond to fasting much like they do exercise. When placed under stress, Exercise or fasting, the reaction creates changes at the cellular level that helps extend your lifespan!

While You Were Distracted By BREXIT And TRUMP, Monsanto’s Senate Puppets Push Through Bill To OUTLAW GMO Labelling

by December 4, 2016

While people were concerned with things like Brexit and Trump, the United States government once again took advantage of the commotion. Using this as a way to distract the people from the issues at hand.

During this time they snuck a new law in, one that will completely ban all GMO labeling state laws across the United States. This agreement came from the United States Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry and is called the “Bipartisan Agriculture Biotechnology Compromise Solution.” Yet, this compromise is extremely one-sided and only works to help the agenda of Big Food Corporations.

This ‘compromise’ states that GMO food does not need to be labeled for at least the next two years. It also gives the USDA the right to deem any food with less than fifty percent bioengineered content to be considered ‘non-GMO!’ This new law also goes so far as to consider GMO-fed animals not bioengineered, something completely wrong especially if they have been fed GMO all their lives. They will be considered ‘natural.’

The law states that “the form of a food disclosure under this section be a text, symbol, or electronic or digital link…”  This meaning that the will put a scannable QR code on products for consumers who want to access the ingredients. This will make it much harder for people to know just what is in the food they may be buying. All other food labels require words or numbers yet for some reason the government is giving the GMO food business a free ride and special permissions. Using an unreadable code is completely ridiculous!

To read the complete law click here. Just be prepared to be disgusted by how much favor our government is showing Monsanto. When will this madness end?

The Vaccine Against Diabetes Has Been Officially Announced And The Entire World Is Celebrating The News!

by December 4, 2016

Most people around the world are familiar with Diabetes. It is a metabolic disease in which the body’s inability to produce any or enough insulin causes elevated levels of glucose in the blood. In 2014 29.1 million people suffered from diabetes, that is about 9.3% of the population.

Finally, there is a promising vaccine that has the potential to reverse the symptoms of type 1 diabetes. The research on the vaccine is about to move onto phase 2 of the trial, meaning they are going to be testing it on humans. The vaccine is called Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG). The vaccine has succeeded in reversing type 1 diabetes in a trial among mice. The BCG vaccine has already been FDA approved as a bladder cancer treatment as well as a treatment for tuberculosis.

Researchers have shown that the vaccine can eliminate problematic white blood cells that lead to diabetes. This is done by destroying the beta cells that make and release insulin into the blood. In a previous trial, patients were injected with the tuberculosis vaccine twice within a four-week time frame. The results showed that the dangerous T cells were gone, and some people even began to secrete insulin on their own.

The study has been conducted by Dr. Denise Faustman, director of the Massachusetts General Hospital Immunobiology Laboratory in Boston. She is very confident in the results of her research. The newest trial coming will use the same format as the previous one, on people aged between 18 and 60. The subjects will be injected with the vaccine twice in a period of 4 weeks, and then once a year for a 4 year time period.

We are all eager for the release of the vaccine to the public, but we must patiently wait for perfect details. This vaccine could save lives of millions, and improve the lives of billions around the globe.
