Positive steps to stay healthy

Interesting development in dietary science!

I am glad to see that the Dietary suggestion to limit cholesterol is likely either already removed or about to be.
Finally ! But what an awful admission that these limits should never have been instated to begin with !
40 or so years of people slavishly cutting out what is obviously good for them.

I didn't know about this NAFLD ! Yes fructose is just horrible, but I hadn't realized it could cause such a liver problem as well as the other damage it undeniably does.

No chocolate, no candy, no cookies, no cake, no candy canes this year... instead, people should satisfy that cultivated craving for sugar by eating yummy Coconut Oil or Feta Cheese, for example. Both satisfying and healthy. After such useful fats, one isn't even hungry for sugary items.

PS I was just reading about a Fortune 500 executive dinner in London which took 3 whole hours of 9 courses and included not 1, but 2 courses of dessert !
That should give us a hint about how wildly frivolous even eating any dessert is. Why not finish a meal with fresh vegetables instead ? Such habits would take away the societal norm of always eating sugar at the end of a meal. That is the time it is most harmful to digestion. If they absolutely have to be eaten, sweets should be consumed early in the day and not after noontime. Authentic halva, for example [non chocolate] is made with sesame which is full of good calcium. But it should be eaten only (1) by itself and (2) in the morning.

One must employ discipline to go against the expectations of one's peers. This virtue, as we all know, is not inculcated in any rung of Western society, from business mogul to housewife [ who are no doubt titled these days 'home management professionals ! ]

Yes, that is the problem..."Old habits die hard!"

Golden paste is a turmeric-based paste that taken orally provides health benefits to humans as well as animals (dogs and horses). Turmeric, known for is anti-inflammatory properties and used medicinally for over 4,000 years, is great for arthritis, skin health, immune system, and even cancer. Recent studies have confirmed that it may be as effective as 14 different Rx drugs – without the side effects.

Taking it daily in a paste designed to improve absorption an easy way to tap into its enormous benefits.

How to make Golden Paste:

This recipe for golden paste requires the following ingredients:

½ cup turmeric powder
1 cup water (+ ½ extra if necessary)
1.5 tsp ground black pepper
70 ml olive oil or coconut oil

See the link above for the complete article.

It's a really excellent idea, Maria.
Only thing I would suggest is to leave out Black Pepper. Why ? Because I have studied this for many years.
Though Ayurveda uses black pepper quite a bit, I have always avoided employing it as a medicinal herb OR a food flavoring. RED Pepper : now THAT is tops for healing purposes.

What about substituting Cayenne for the black pepper listed in the ingredients for the Golden Paste ?

By the way, I sprinkle Turmeric on every dinner almost ! Simply Organic is the BEST Turmeric powder on the market.

Since your highlighting of its beneficial effects in recent posts, I started to take Turmeric capsules in the morning as well. However, I began to feel leery of my Solgar capsules and am thinking to get rid of those and switch over to Turmeric TINCTURE in tea. HerbPharm makes the best tinctures, I believe, and does offer Turmeric.

Just an idea to use for general purposes as well as the cardiac remedy which you mentioned. I have to read the article to see how this beautifully-colored spice helps the heart specifically.

By the way, turmeric DOES stain. Be careful, therefore, to not consume it when wearing one's beautiful white Pascha outfit... !
It is surprisingly difficult to get this particular stain out of fabrics, despite the fact that it is completely natural.
Maybe that proves how strong this Indian spice really is !

By the way, one can add it to soups, if one has a good soup recipe. I wish I did.

Although this article linked below was published about six years ago in 2009, it is very important reading.

Here are the three most important paragraphs in this article:

Conversations focused primarily on the influenza, MMR, and yellow fever vaccines, which rely on fertilized chicken eggs for their culturing viruses. Fertilized chicken eggs, while ideally suited for culturing certain viruses for vaccines, such as the influenza and MMR vaccines, are also living incubators for large numbers of known and unknown viruses in the animal kingdom. While these do not transmit from their animal host to humans naturally, they nevertheless are sequential genetic codes that, when injected into the human body, have the potential for any number of unpredictable adverse effects by interfering or merging with the codes of human cells.

Vaccine research is at best a primitive science, because it involves injecting into the bloodstream foreign substances, chemical and genetic, that would not otherwise naturally enter the body. When we bring into the equation the enormous amount of known and unknown genetic material and foreign proteins that vaccines introduce into the body, and then consider the rapid increase in epidemics raging through the American population – adult diabetes in children, large numbers of various inflammatory and immune deficiency diseases, asthma and new allergies, severe gastrointestinal disorders (e.g., leaky gut syndrome and Crohn’s disease), chronic fatigue syndrome, and many different neurological disorders (e.g., autism, ADD and ADHD, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s) – we must step back and reconsider their causes. We should avoid the kind of faith that the vaccine industrial complex has in its determinist, reductionist perspective of genetic materialism to find these answers without taking into account the bombardment of toxic chemicals such as vaccine adjuvants and preservatives, extraneous genetic material, pathogenic organisms, and foreign genetic fragments that assault our bodies from shortly after birth into old age.

For some time, it was known that the enzyme reverse transcriptase (RT) was present in final vaccine solutions. RT has been used to this day as an indicator that there is a presence of a retrovirus. During the meeting’s proceedings, the WHO decided to withhold public announcement of such genetic contamination, in this case concerning the MMR vaccine; not to remove it from the market; and, in the meantime, continue safety studies at various laboratories.

Thank you for the excerpt from the article. I hope that things improve in that area of health sciences.
