Ulterior Health

What steps can you take now to decrease the chances of getting Parkinson’s after age 60?

The most basic step, eliminate toxins like pesticides from our diet. This means both buy organic and wash your vegetables. Of course this goes way beyond just improving memory. Even so, this will help memory too.

Impact of dietary exposure to food contaminants on the risk of Parkinson’s disease. This study may seem like it doesn’t apply to you if you don’t eat one of the main unusual foods in the diets of the study group.

However, you are missing the point.

Please note that the chemical exposure and especially the two chemicals, especially the methyl-mercury.

Question….If you ingest toxins and or heavy metals, where is your body going to store them if it does not get disposed of.

Answer….the brain.

Solution….Best to avoid the toxins.

Next best….Include in your diet the food or supplements that will help your body detoxify.

Glutathione the best way to prevent Parkinson’s Disease.

Boost Glutathione With Diet by increasing the intake of foods that have cysteine.

Reduce stress! Improve memory! Eat to Remember!

Of course we are what we eat. This is why a balanced diet is essential. A lesser known fact is that what we eat is what we think.

Let me explain.

If we eat healthy in terms of what our brain needs, we think better and manage stress better. Eat junk and our stress can make us a mess.

How it works…

The neurotransmitters inside our brains (the brain juice) are the masters of the moods.

Dopamine Does the Do Thing, it invigorates, excites and makes us feel anew.

Serotonin causes a slowin’ or calming of our emotin’.

Melatonin, asleep it will help you to get a-go-in’.

To remember endless lines of nursing school information in less time we riddled our mind with rhyme.

These are best absorbed when found in food.

Melatonin is an excellent example. If you take it in a pill to sleep, in time your body will adjust and it will not be effective. However taking it in food, such as Montmorency Cherry Concentrate does not seem to result in tolerance. At least it worked for me.

The goal is to maintain the balance of our brain juice and avoid brain drain.

This happens when we eat a complete and balanced diet and avoid toxins. Sorry Atkins lovers, the diet may help you lose weight but you my just be losing your mind too.

Bottom Line…don’t skip meals. Eat a healthy balanced diet.

The best serotonin foods: fish (rich in omega-3 fatty acids /avoid farm grown fish). Salmon is good, sardines are great as they also provide calcium.

Cruciferous vegetables, but they are best uncooked.

The goitrogens paradox. Goitrogens are the substances that suppress the thyroid gland function, interfering with iodine uptake, possibly resulting in an enlargement of the thyroid (called a goiter). This seems to only happen when overeating them. Hmmm, balanced is better!

In this case balance includes eating foods that stimulate the thyroid.

Why uncooked? Glutathione (GSH) producing cysteine is the number one anticancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, well, there are about 27 things GSH does. Cook it and you lose it because it is so fragile.

This one bears mentioning…Some studies on rats suggest that excess caffeine and a lack of iodine may promote thyroid cancers.

Cancer Sci. 94 (4): 334–7. PMID 12824900. So if you choose not to take care of your own health, please, please, do not give your lab rats excessive amounts of coffee with a high intake of goitrogens. At least feed them a balanced diet.

Both vitamin C and serotonin are essential for preventing irritability and work for stress management. Do you know which foods have both? A study reported in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition ( http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2413754 )
found that 80 types of fruits had high serotonin concentration. Some were ( highest concentration to lowest) plantain; pineapple; banana; Kiwi fruit; plums; and tomatoes.

Also only nuts in the walnut or hickory family had a high serotonin concentration. butternuts 398; black walnuts 304; English walnuts 87; shagbark hickory nuts 143; pecans 29.

Want a snack, eat a fruit. Need a boost, eat a fruit. The underlying health is in the balance of what you eat, do and think. This is only one piece of the puzzle.

Good Health to You.

Would you like to slow down the aging process.

Most will say yes. Yet most are not willing to do what it takes. Believe it or not, what it takes is not fad diets and overexercising. It is quite simple. The challenge is most are not willing to wait for the lifestyle changes that will bring about optimal health.

Optimal health can come from some ulterior lifestyle changes.

This is a list of ulterior diseases. Their underlying cause is not genetic, it is acquired.

Abnormal Cholesterol levels
Cancer
Dementia (numerous types)
Degenerative Joint Disease
Depression
Early Menopause
GERD
Heart Disease
High Blood Pressure
Obesity
Osteoarthritis
Osteoporosis
Stroke
Type II Diabetes

These result from overeating, eating the wrong way and chemical ingestion.

Chemicals like MSG in many meats, seasonings soups. Chemicals like milk enhancing drugs given to cows that end up in the milk we drink. Artificial sweeteners and modified sweeteners. All are chemicals that potentially hinder our body and the mechanism that it uses to rebuild its self.

What if there was a way to improve health but it was not a quick fix?

What if there was a way to decrease illness and health problems requiring an investment of time?

What if there was a way to slow down aging but it took time?

What if instead of taking medicines to treat diseases it was possible to prevent disease?

What if it required an investment of time and money?

What would it be worth to you? What would be the dividends of having good health even into old age?

Boosting Your Glutathione Is the First Step

A dear friend got MRSA. It put her in the hospital. She most likely got it from a recent visit to the hospital.

Research by Cardiff University found that disinfectants wipes being used for this purpose are part of the problem.

Microbiologist Dr Jean-Yves Maillard recommends a ‘one wipe one application per surface’ use in health care environments.

The research involved observing hospital staff using wipes and then replicating this in the lab.
Several commercially available wipes were contaminated with such bugs as Staphylococcus aureus, including MRSA and MSSA.

The bottom line, the wipes were unable to kill the bacteria resulting in bacteria being transferred to other surfaces when reused.

Some even had labeling claiming…. ‘kills MRSA.”

The research was presented at the American Society of Microbiology’s 108th General Meeting in Boston, Massachusetts on 3rd June, 2008.

The study only looked at one part of the problem. My friend mentioned above is an example of why this is a multifaceted problem.

She had a decreased immunity. There was not an outbreak of MRSA in the my home town. All the nurses and others visiting did not get MRSA.

The reason is her compromised immunity. Boosting our immunity will be an alternative that will protect us when we have no control of what others do, such as using ineffective wipes.

The best way you can boost your immunity is to boost your glutathione.

Boost Your Glutathione to Boost Immunity

Is there a cure. Well, a number of studies show that cell growth is inhibited by increasing Glutathione (GSH). This is good news on the cancer frontiers.

If you have not heard of GSH or Glutathione, they you will. It is the most essential antioxidant in the human body. Rather than being an antioxidant you take, it is one inside each cell. It is responsible for over 25 different processes that protect us from a minor infection to cancer. To learn more check out the GSH Blog.
