OSTEOPOROSIS
Here is an article from the Charlotte Observer in North Carolina that I came across, as it happens many times in my personal quest for better health. This one has to do with osteoporosis and what Doctors are finding out about the long term use of medications and how it can do more harm than good.
Many patients have taken medications that include bisphosphonates for years. Doctors are debating how long people should take them. Recent studies point to health risks and problems linked to long-term use.
With the launch of the first prescription osteoporosis medication 15 years ago, millions of Americans with the bone-thinning disease began taking the drugs and never looked back. But now many bone-health doctors are looking back and becoming increasingly uneasy. Continue reading Osteoporosis Part 1 →
My day with cholesterol started in 1988. At that time it was 240. Kind of scary!!!!
One Saturday while I was taking my routine morning walk, I ran into a yard sale and I picked up a book that was talking about oatmeal. That was the beginning of educating myself about this food, easy to prepare and very low priced. I consulted with my friend, Dr. James Wilson, the medical advisor for natureshealingfoods.com. He strongly suggested it, but he cautioned that I need to buy and use the rolled oats, not the instant, because of the chemicals that the instant oats have so that it cooks faster.
Then Dr. Wilson suggested a list of foods that help the body function optimally and thus lowering my cholesterol naturally. Here are some of them:
You can find a whole lot more if you refer to my book.
In the presentation of my personal story of Health through Nutrition, I elaborated some on plant sterols. These are foods that contain those elements that help a lot in lowering the cholesterol levels.
I also strongly suggest you to work with Gus’ healthy cooked vegetables.
In the upcoming months, I will also share with you other foods on how to lower your cholesterol, and keep it low!!!
My last thought for today is that there are many statin medications out there that lower cholesterol. However, they cost a lot of money, and they don’t go to the root of the problem and they have many side effects.
Of course as always you can contact me at gus@natureshealingfoods.com with your questions, thoughts, doubts and of course your success stories, after you have tried the Healthy through Nutrition approach that can be found in my book and of course as always you can become a member of this site for free!!
Lowering blood pressure is one of the four parts of the fascinating wellness program that came out of my personal story of health through nutrition, weight loss and light exercise.
This is a very strong statement, but there is a whole lot of research, observations and self-experimentation behind it. It is throughout my book of 152 pages. And it is fascinating because I saw it working for me several times. One serving of plain spaghetti noodles with just a little bit of olive oil. That was a simple observation that I made. Our stomach, at any time, is a pool full of acids. Lots of them are necessary to digest the food. Lots of them are floating in our stomach for various reasons. So, one of the things that plain spaghetti noodles does is to absorb some (or most) of these acids.
The question is what are you going to do: Are you going to “cool down” your blood pressure with food or medication with the side effects? After all Dr. Holmes, Professor of Medicine, Harvard University, says: “If all the medicine in the world were thrown into the sea, it would be bad for the fish and good for humanity.”
And then you can see in my book what plain and innocent yogurt did for me. And finally, you can also check out and use the comfort foods that I worked with and I still work with and you can incorporate them into your diet for better health.
And the last thought that I want to share with you is the powerful Gus’ Healthy Cooked Vegetables that you can use to eliminate many uncomfortable conditions that you might have. And as always you can email me your questions, thoughts, doubts and of course successes, after you have read – and do accordingly – my book and of course become a member of this site for free!!
