  • Squash seeds
  • Nuts
  • Cocoa
  • Beans

An additional 27% experienced significant improvements in their hearing.

13 Simple Ways to Lower Your Triglycerides

by March 18, 2017

Americans are facing more cardiovascular issues than any other part of the world. One of the main causes of cardiovascular issues such as heart disease is a high level of triglycerides in your blood.

Triglycerides are probably the root of almost every cardiovascular issue. They are a type of fat stored in your blood. While triglycerides are necessary for good health if you have too much of af3b60d83cab07487d77841406da71a5them you can suffer from a range of health issues. They are very closely related to cholesterol. Both cholesterol and triglycerides are types of fats stored in the blood.

A high triglyceride level can cause serious cardiovascular issues. According to Dr. Lauri Wright, Dietitian at the National Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, “If triglyceride levels are too high in the blood, they can cause plaque buildup in the arteries.” Furthermore, a 2007 study published in Annals of Internal Medicine found that young men with the highest triglyceride levels had a 4x greater risk of developing heart disease or having a stroke compared to that of a similarly aged young man with low triglyceride levels.

There are many ways to cut down on your triglyceride levels. No doubt you will be healthier, and before long you will feel better too! Not to mention the fact that this is greatly reducing your risk of having a heart attack.

Lose Weight – Your body only needs to use a certain amount of calories. Any excess calories that the body does not use will be turned into triglycerides. They will additionally be stored in fat cells and blood vessels. Reducing the amount of calories you ingest will not only reduce your triglyceride level, but it will also make you shed a few pounds.

Limit Sugar Intake – the American Heart Association recommends consuming no more than 6–9 teaspoons of added sugar per day, in 2008 the average American was eating about 19 teaspoons daily. Extra sugar in your diet is turned into triglycerides, so 58449819-Balance-scales-with-food-comic-book-pop-art-retro-style-vector-illustration-Healthy-food-Stock-Vectorobviously reducing your sugar intake will also reduce your triglyceride levels. One 15-year study showed that those who consumed at least 25% of calories from sugar were twice as likely to die from heart disease as those who consumed less than 10% of calories from sugar

Low Carb Diet – the main cause of elevated triglycerides is carbohydrate consumption, especially the simple sugar fructose. Many different studies have shown that cutting down on your carbs will also reduce triglyceride levels.

Eat Fiber – Fiber rich diets are great for reducing triglyceride levels. Soluble fiber is a nutrient from plant foods that, when incorporated into a healthy diet, may help you lower your triglyceride levels.

Exercise – Exercising burns the fat cells in which extra triglycerides and fat deposits are stored. The more you exercise the more triglycerides and fat you burn!

Avoid Trans Fat – Trans fats are a type of unsaturated fat. They are terrible for your health too. Trans fats are unsaturated fats with a specific chemical structure, where the hydrogen atoms are on opposite sides of the double bond.

Cut out Alcohol – Because alcohol is really high in sugar it is commonly a contributor to triglyceride levels. Cutting out alcohol from your diet will decrease your triglyceride ff4a5384e40169a158ad8a491528338elevels dramatically.

Add Soy Protein to Your Diet – Soy is rich in isoflavones, which are a type of plant compound with numerous health benefits. This is especially true when it comes to lowering LDL cholesterol

Eat Tree Nuts – One analysis of 61 studies showed that each serving of tree nuts decreased triglycerides by 2.2 mg/dL (0.02 mmol/L)

Take Garlic Extract – Garlic is virtually good for everything and several studies have shown that it reduces LDL levels and triglyceride levels.

Limit fructose – Many different studies have found that reducing your intake of fructose wlowers your triglyceride levels. It Will additionally increase your overall health, because fructose is bad for everything.

Add Omega-3 Fatty Acids – Fatty fish such as salmon, herring, sardines, lake trout and albacore tuna are abundant in omega-3 fatty acids—a type of fat that is actually good for you. To reap the benefits, the AHA recommends that you eat fatty fish at least twice a week.

Drink Tea – One study participants drank either 200 ml of black tea or plain hot water three times per day for 12 weeks. The results showed significant reductions in triglyceride levels (35.8% in men and 28.6% in women) and LDL/HDL cholesterol ratio (16.6%) in the black tea group.

The World’s Biggest Bottled Water Brand Admits: It’s Just Tap Water

by March 18, 2017

The world is owned and ran by a group of corporate CEO’s. They control our jobs, money, and our food. Most importantly, they control our water.

Yet another water scandal has been released where Aquafina admitted their water was simply tapped water.

aqua1

Pepsicola, the manufacturer of the water brand Aquafina, has admitted that their water is no better than that of your bathroom sinks. They even have new labels that state the water came from a “Public water source”; which is just a fancy way of saying that it’s tap water.Aquafina1

Before bottled at Aquafina, the water is purified through a seven-step process removing minerals that are found in municipal water supplies.

“If this helps clarify the fact that the water originates from public sources, then it’s a reasonable thing to do,” PepsiCo spokeswoman Michelle Naughton told ABC news.

Pepsicola and Aquafina aren’t the only ones either. In fact, according to the Beverage Marketing Association over 50% of America’s bottled water sales are literally tap water. This is a sign of pure negligence to the health of the public especially considering the harmful chemicals found in public water – fluoride for example. Water fluoridation has a ton of negative effects on your body. The dangers of water fluoridation include:

  • Tooth decay
  • Other tissue decay
  • Never approved by the FDA
  • Headaches
  • Nausea
  • UTI
  • Diarrhea

5 Most Common STDs That Even Condoms Can’t Stop

by March 18, 2017

Condoms are advertised to be the safe haven for safe sex; and this is an enticing lie. Because of this, STD’s are on the rise everywhere.

Because they are said to be the ‘safe sex’ opportunity, many teens and young adults are having mindless sex because they’re trusting these evil corporations. Condoms are often advertied to be 99% effective, but this is very wrong. The success rate is actually 72%. That isn’t a risk I would want to take…

Sexually Transmitted Diseases, or STD’s, are not a subject to joke about. They are serious health issues and could even be deadly. First thing though: I’m not trying to persuade you to not have sex. Sex is natural, but like other natural things there are dangers. Always be sure of your partner’s history and bill of health before engaging in any intercourse. One night stands however, almost always end up in a nightmarish disease diagnosis.

There are many STD’s people aren’t aware of, and condoms do not protect against them! Against these malevolent diseases condoms are no match. I cannot stress this enough – Be careful who you are having sex with. People can be deceitful…

Here are 5 STDs that condoms do not protect against:

Herpes – “If a person has a herpes lesion that is on an area of the groin or pelvis that is not covered by the condom, then transmission from that lesion can occur,” Dr. Sasan explains.

HPV – This disease is the most commonly sexually transmitted one. If you are sexually active there is a high chance you will be exposed at some point in your life. Some strains can cause genital warts but others don’t, which is why many people never know they have it. And even without warts present, HPV can be passed with skin-to-skin contact. Some strains can lead to cervical cancer.

Molluscum – This consists of little bumps on the skin. It doesn’t cause any long term health issues. “It’s a skin condition commonly transmitted between kids, but in adults you usually see it sexually transmitted,” Dr.Rowan stated.

Crabs – “Pubic lice is not super common anymore, since people groom more now,” Rowen explains. However, if you’re going the natural route beware – you’re at risk.

Syphilis – Syphilis presents as a firm, round, and usually painless sore, called a chancre. “Just like herpes, [a condom] is not going to protect you, depending on where the sore is located,” Rowen says.

Popular Breakfast Brand Sued Over Weed-Killer in “Healthy” Foods

by March 18, 2017

If you haven’t already heard of all of the toxicity Monsanto is spreading around, then you must be living under a rock. Their toxic pesticide, Glyphosate, has been found in many different types of food. At last, here’s another one!

A lawsuit has been filed by Lewis Daly of Brooklyn claiming that Quaker Oats contain a cancer-causing substance called glyphosate. This chemical is horrible for the human body, or that of any living matter.  In 2009, a French court found Monsanto guilty of lying; falsely advertising its Roundup herbicide as “biodegradable,” “environmentally friendly” and claiming it “left the soil clean.” This is pure lies, and the chemical not onlyquaker2-blog427 is poison but you will soon notice the effects of it. It could be the very reason cancer is so prevalent in the United States.

Some side effects of glyphosate include:

  • Alzheimer’s Disease
  • Autism
  • Cancer
  • Anencephaly
  • ADHD
  • Brain Cancer
  • Breast Cancer
  • Celiac Disease
  • Glutun Intollerance

Monsanto has falsified data on Roundup’s safety, and marketed it to parks departments and consumers as “environmentally friendly” and “biodegradable. A French court ruled those marketing claims amounted to false advertising. It is best to avoid all products with this toxic chemical.

Just 2 Cans of Monster Energy Can Kill! Avoid at All Costs!

by March 17, 2017

Energy drinks have been a major trend since the mid-2000’s, but new studies show that they are extremely dangerous! Monster Energy, one of the most popular drinks, can supposedly kill you if you were to drink two a day!

Some people have even started calling Monster Energy the Cocktail of Death – scary huh? Well, although they taste good, they are filled with ingredients that are horrible for our bodies. Monster energy isn’t the only one either. You might have also heard of Red Bull, Full Throttle, Rockstar, and Nos.

energydrinks

The drinks are most popular among teenagers. You can buy them virtually anywhere too, and there are no warnings on the can either. The contain ingredients that don’t necessarily poison, but when combined together they become even more toxic. Some of them are even advertised to be caffeine free, but it contains a chemical identical to caffeine. It is known as guarana. It is basically the equivalent to caffeine, and might even be a little more dangerous.

Chemicals in these drinks such as Ginseng, Caffeine, and Guarana can cause some serious adverse side effects. They can increase your blood pressure, induce heart palpitations, diarrhea, dizziness, irritability, nausea, and nervousness. This is only the beginning of the list too. Other ingredients such as Ginkgo Biloba can actually be healthy for the body, but when taken in such mass amounts it can be dangerous – just like anything else. The only issue is that the energy drinks already contain too much. Much less if you were to drink more than one energy drink at a time. RockStar drink made a big headline in 2012 when they got a warning from FDA about the unsafe use of Ginkgo in their drinks.

Even the safe ingredients in the drinks aren’t safe anymore. Anything can be dangerous if you have enough of it, and that is exactly why energy drinks are dangerous. They contain tons of sugar! Not just any kind of sugar either – the cheap, refined, artificial stuff that comes from GMO corn. Taurine, another ingredient in energy drinks can be so dangerous that some countries have even banned it. France, Denmark, and Norway have all banned the ingredient Taurine due to its dangerous side effects. According to globalhealingcenter.com, in a study, researchers at Weill Cornell Medical College in New York say they were “surprised” to find taurine “extraordinarily active” on brain receptors.

Energy drinks are simply toxic. They were never really made for people to drink – they were made to make some people a lot of money. These drinks are horrible for your health, and there are even natural ingredients that you can get energy from! Honey is a great natural source of energy. Simply taking a teaspoon of raw honey might do the job! Not to mention it even has health benefits! Point being – skip energy drinks; they’re monsters.
