Proper Exercise Helps in Cancer Treatment

Via Dr. Mercola

By now, we must all realize how important exercise is to our health. Even if you are ill, movement is the only thing that will keep you moving! The body needs movement to pump the blood properly throughout the body and it's essential organs. This keeps everything not only oxidized but moves important cells so they can do their job.

Mushroom Sugo Recipe

Posted by Elise on Sep 16, 2011, Simply Recipes

This recipe comes from Darrell Corti of the Sacramento gourmet grocery Corti Bros. The recipe is Darrell's grandmother's and appeared in Saveur in 2001.

This recipe is a testament to the adage that good things take time. Although the ingredients couldn't be more simple, the slow cooking at various stages deeply enhances the flavors. First "minced" onions are slowly cooked in olive oil until they begin to caramelize and turn a rich golden color. Then carrots are added, cooked for a while, then celery, and finally garlic and herbs. After the wine, tomato sauce, mushroom soaking water and mushrooms are added, the sauce still cooks for another hour and a half. The sauce is so good I just want to eat it straight with a spoon (and will if it's anywhere in reaching distance). It shines over polenta, ravioli, or a short pasta like penne or fusilli.

Here in the San Joaquin Valley, the eggplant season is in full swing. At our local farmers market last weekend one could find eggplants of every variety - globe, Japanese, striped, white, even eggplants that looked like tomatoes. I have a couple still on the vine, after picking the one used for this recipe that was just begging to be eaten. Here is a wonderful recipe for baba ghanouj (also spelled baba ghanoush) a middle eastern eggplant dip. It is typically served with pita bread.

Banana Foot Treatment

I don't know about you, but I get ugly, peeling skin and callouses on my heels. Especially this time of year when I'm barefoot more that shoed and I'm walking in dry dirt much of the day. I've tried all the foot creams and lotions but have never been satisfied with the results. My heels just stay ugly dry!

So, a couple of days ago I'm watching the Dr. Oz show on television, and the segment is about all natural cures for common ailments. One of the "cures" was pure banana for this same heel skin problem that I have. They described a simple, 4 step process; 1) With fine sandpaper, sand the affected areas, 2) rinse the foot, 3) apply crushed organic banana on affected areas, and 4) let banana dry for a few minutes and wipe clean.

While going through my morning routine this morning, I decided to add the banana foot treatment. Of course somehow I missed the first step of sanding the area on the heel. My feet and hands have been so dry that I got excited and just slathered on the crushed banana! When I was done with my heels, I spread it on the rest of feet. Why not try it I thought, since my toes and the bottoms of my feet seem dry too. I even put the rest of the banana on my hands...what's to lose?

Other than leaving the banana on for too long (20 minutes), it has made a difference with just the one application. By leaving it on too long, it became so dry that it was a little more work to rinse it off. But the end result is smoother, hydrated skin!

I imagine a good file with sandpaper grit found at any drug or grocery store, will accomplish the same thing and may be easier to use than the sandpaper sheets. And if you do this first it will probably work even better than my experience!

A Healthy and Balanced Saliva pH

"The human body's entire metabolic process depends on one critical factor - the pH of the plasma fluids.  The pH scale is very simple. The lower the readings on the pH scale are acidic and the higher readings are more alkaline. Through homeostasis, the body maintains a healthy plasma pH of 7.4.  Although the pH of the body will fluctuate with meals, exercise, stress, hormones and sleep, a healthy and balanced saliva pH should be between 7.0 to 7.5."

A Holistic Approach to Health in Early Recovery: Diet and Nutrition

by MAURA HENNINGER, N.D.

When it comes to the health of a recovering addict/alcoholic, the approach of natural medicine can positively alter the course of treatment -- and definitively increase chances of getting and staying sober. In the first part of this series, I talked about withdrawal and insomnia, two of the most crucial problems that lead to relapse. I support my patients from several perspectives, encompassing mental, emotional, spiritual and physical. Detoxification, 12-step meetings, group and individual therapy, carefully prescribed medications, and family involvement are all integral to the success of a recovering addict in putting down his drink or drug of choice. But I've also found that the proper diet, along with targeted vitamin supplementation, can work miracles in the lives of early recovering addicts and alcoholics.

90 Percent of Corn Seeds Are Coated With Bayer's Bee-Decimating Pesticide

—By Tom Philpott

| Wed May. 16, 2012

I'm doing something very odd this week: speaking at the annual conference of Croplife America, the main trade group for the US agrichemical industry. Croplife membersinclude Monsanto, Dow, Bayer, and Syngenta, all massive multinational companies I write about regularly and witheringly. I am astonished that Croplife wants to hear what I have to say—what I think of the group's member companies and their products is a matter of public record—and am curious to hear what they have to say to me.

As I prepared for the conference, a few interesting news items on the industry crossed my desk.

Advertise on MotherJones.com

• As I've written before, Bayer's neonicotinoid pesticides, which now coat upwards of 90 percent of US corn seeds and seeds of increasing portions of other major crops like soy, have emerged as a likely trigger for colony collapse disorder. Watch this NBC News report from last week linking bee kills in Minnesota to Bayer's highly profitable product.

Meanwhile, the Columbus Dispatch reportssimilar bee die-offs in Ohio farm country, with beekeepers there, too, pointing the finger at Bayer.

• One of my biggest complaints about the agrichemical industry it its market dominance. As I say above, more than 90 percent of corn seeds planted today are treated with Bayer's pesticide. What if a farmer wants to opt out, to plant seeds free of neonicotinoids? Good luck. According to a Pesticide Action Network press release I received today, farmers in the midwest are complaining that it's virtually impossible to buy untreated seeds. In other words, farmers there have two choices: either pay up for Bayer's poison, or exit the corn-growing business.

• Speaking of market dominance, Monsanto essentially owns the market in genetically modified seed traits—a highly lucrative position, given the way GMOs have taken over massive crops like corn, soy, and cotton. And like any well-run company out to maximize earnings for its shareholders, Monsanto invests some of its profit hoard in protecting its market from pesky regulators who might place the public interest over Monsanto's. From theCenter for Responsive Politics, which tracks money in politics:

According to OpenSecrets.org data, in the first three months of this year, Monsanto spent $1.4 million lobbying Washington—and spent about $6.3 million total last year, more than any other agribusiness firm except the tobacco company Altria.

Last year's investment seemed to pay off for the company. Even as Monsanto's Roundup Ready technology faltered under a blitz of resistant "superweeds," the USDA unconditionally approved Roundup Ready alfalfa, after hinting strongly it would place limitations on the crop. The USDA also approved Roundup Ready sugar beets, defying a court order that it delay approval pending an environmental review.

When a company dominates markets and can buy lobbying power in Washington, its products don't actually have to work, I suppose.

E Z Homemade Almond Milk

Guide: How to Make Almond Milk

Posted on May 1, 2012 by Jennifer Valentine: Editorial Manager, OneGreenPlanet.Org

If you’ve ever considered making your own plant-based milk but thought it would be too difficult or time-consuming, this guide’s for you! Making your own nut or seed milk is quick and easy, and brings several benefits:

1. You can make any kind of milk you want. Use almonds, cashews, walnuts, flax seeds, sunflower seeds, or any combination of nuts and seeds!
2. You can customize the sweetness and flavors. Add vanilla, agave, stevia, or brown rice syrup if you’d like, or leave it plain and unsweetened.
3. Skip all the cardboard and plastic! If you buy nuts and seeds in bulk, making your own milk is both economical and eco-friendly!

The video and step-by-step instructions below will guide you though the simple process of making your own almond (or other nut/seed) milk. Let’s get started!
Step 1 – Soak 1 cup of raw almonds for 4-8 hours to soften.
Step 2 – Drain almonds and add to blender with 4 cups of water.
Step 3 – Blend almonds and water on high speed about 30 seconds, or until very well mixed.
Step 4 – Pour almond milk mixture into a very fine mesh strainer and allow to drain. Stir  the mixture in the strainer to help the liquid come through.
Step 5 – Remove pulp from strainer after all liquid has drained and add more of the almond milk mixture. You will probably need to do several batches depending on the size of your strainer. Either discard the pulp or save for use in baking or as a nut cheese.
Step 6 – Store almond milk in the refrigerator. You’ll need to shake it well before serving, but it should stay good for at least several days.

WHAT'S THE BEST FAT-BURNING BREAKFAST?

A recent presentation at the Institute of Food Technologists’ Wellness meeting showed that eating a low-glycemic breakfast can prevent blood sugar spikes and crashes. It might even help you put the brakes on your late-morning Krispy Kreme detour.

The glycemic index ranks how much a particular food raises your blood sugar levels. Your body rapidly absorbs high-glycemic foods like pastries, white bread and processed foods, which spike and crash your blood sugar,  leaving you hungry and tired. High-glycemic foods also raise your insulin levels. Elevated insulin levels contribute to diabetes, heart disease and aging. Insulin is also a powerful storage hormone, and it stores one thing really well: fat. Low-glycemic foods, on the other hand, create a steadier rise in blood sugar and insulin levels. Balanced insulin levels help you burn (rather than store) fat and maintain steady energy. Low-glycemic foods include most fruits, vegetables, lean protein, nuts, seeds and legumes.

A 2011 Nutrition and Metabolism study that researchers presented at the Institute of Food Technologists’ meeting showed that people who ate low-glycemic whole almonds at breakfast felt full longer and had steadier blood sugar levels compared to people who ate a high-glycemic breakfast like a Pop Tart with orange juice. As an added bonus, researchers also found that eating a low-glycemic breakfast like an omelet or a protein smoothie means you eat less food the rest of the day.
