Improving Your Health For a Fulfilling Life
Exercise is essential for being healthy. |
Our health
is obviously very important, however a lot of people seem to overlook the
perfect functionality of our organs until something goes wrong or stops
working. This shouldn’t be the case.
In order to
lead a happy, fulfilling and healthy life, it is important to maintain our
health the best we can in order to prevent avoidable illnesses. The changes you
make can be drastic or small, but no matter how small they are sure to improve
your life.
One of the
most common ways to improve health that is vastly talked about is drinking more
water -- this isn’t overrated. Water is needed by the body in order to carry
out the simplest functions and without it, the body can start to fail. We are
made up of 60% water and it is important to keep hydrated. Headaches are just
one way of our bodies telling us we aren’t drinking enough and that these signs
should be acknowledged.
Make sure
you check your weight and your BMI. A healthy BMI should be between 20-25 and
everything over is classed as overweight. Being overweight can bring numerous
health problems, including heart disease and cancer. You should visit a GP if
your BMI means you are classed as overweight as they can recommend different
ways of reducing it, allowing for a healthier life.
Exercise is
one way to reduce your BMI and although it may require motivation, doing just
30 minutes a day is likely to be beneficial. However, it is important that you
don’t overdo it; swimming is a great form of exercise as it is can act as a
full bodywork out. Running is good for those who have built up strength and the
feeling is great when you complete a thirty-minute run.
Smoking is
one of the unhealthiest habits and although it can be extremely difficult to
quit, it is important in order to improve your quality of life and ultimately
your health. There are various nicotine replacement therapies available and although
some may not find these effective electronic
cigarettes
have been introduced and are people are seeing the benefits of using them to
help them beat their smoking addiction. E cigs shouldn’t be used as nicotine replacement
but the strength of nicotine can be changed to suit personal needs, allowing
you to lower it as time goes on.
Alcohol can
also be a very big problem, however not many people realise they are drinking
too much. It can cause numerous problems, especially to the liver and the
recommended 21 units a week is often exceeded. Women should drink no more than
14 units a week and have 2 days a week that is alcohol free. In order to drink
less, you could choose to have a soft drink in between every drink containing alcohol,
which will reduce your consumption.

How Tea Can Lead to Long-Lasting Life and Fight Cancer
Why Tea is Amazing
for the Mind and Body
Dr. Ralph is the
Medical Director of Pender Medi Spa in Vancouver and the Medical Director of
Skincare Centre in North Vancouver, BC. He specializes in Botox
treatments and is a member of the Face Institute. He is also a
recognized trainer of Botox and Fillers in North America.
It is a widely-known fact that tea has plenty of health
benefits that are vital for the health of the human body. It was already
renowned in China since the 16th century. So lauded were its
benefits, the Chinese people even developed a ritual out of drinking tea. It has
since become a notable part of their culture. Tea drinking is popular in other East
and South Asian countries as well, such as Japan, Korea and Vietnam.
When European traders ventured to Asia for trade in the
1700s, tea was one of the products that they loaded on their ships and
introduced into the western market. It actually wasn't until the 19th
century that tea arrived in British soil, and since then "tea time"
has become a part of the daily rituals of the British people.
The long history of tea alone is evidence that it is indeed as excellent for the body as it is played out to be. All the hype surrounding it is not merely the product of advertising and commercialism—although there are indeed new variants of tea which experts find lacking of the pure essence of the drink—but of the obvious improvements people experience when they make a habit of drinking tea.
We can therefore expect that its reputation will continue in
the coming decades. That's yet another reason why tea is truly amazing.
Benefits for the Body
There are at least five things tea is known for.
1.
Tea is rich in antioxidants
Pure tea, or tea that derives from the
Camellia sinensis plant (includes black tea, white tea, green tea, and oolong
tea), is first and foremost an antioxidant. It is all-natural, so it doesn't
contain artificial chemicals or food preservatives that end up as toxins or
something similar.
Green tea and white tea contains a type of
flavonoid called catechins. Green tea is especially rich in EGCG catechins.
This is a powerful type of antioxidant which, studies show, contributes to the
prevention of cancer. They neutralize free radicals to prevent them from
damaging somatic cells. This is why green tea is considered as a helpful aid
for cancer patients since it contains natural chemicals that can possibly slow
down cell damage and mutations, which is essentially what happens with cancer.
The other types of tea are also rich in
antioxidants. Antioxidants are beneficial to the overall health since they
cleanse the body of harmful toxins, which leads us to the next health benefit
of tea.
2.
Tea refreshes and recharges the body.
If you're going to ask a habitual tea
drinker what he feels after taking his daily cup, he will surely tell you he normally
feels refreshed and relaxed. Tea has a natural soothing effect, not just
because of its taste and the way it warms the stomach when it goes down. Passionflower
tea, for example, contains the flavone chrysin, an anti-anxiety component that
helps to calm the mind and release stiff tension from the body.
It's also a matter of mental conditioning.
The knowledge that you're drinking a cup full of antioxidants immediately sets
the mind and body to feel much "healthier" afterwards.
Biotin and the rest of the B-vitamins are
essential for the conversion of carbohydrates to glucose—basically they help
the body produce energy.
3.
Tea helps boost the body's immune system.
The fact that antioxidants in tea help
purge harmful and unwanted elements from the body makes the above line apparent.
Studies also show that EGCG in
green tea promotes the growth of regulatory T-cells and inhibits the
replication of viruses.
4.
Tea helps improve metabolism.
A particular type of tea from South
America, the yerba mate tea, contains caffeine, which has been found to be
capable of boosting the body's metabolism. Naturally, the concept of boosting
metabolism is closely tied to losing excess weight. This is one of the things
oolong tea is famous for. It doesn't only speed up metabolism, it also helps
burn fat. The polyphenols in oolong tea also inhibits fat-building enzymes. The
EGCG in white tea and green tea is similar, as it is instrumental for
preventing the formation of new fat cells.
5.
Tea slows down aging.
Being able to accomplish all of the above,
it goes without saying that tea helps to slow down aging. The effects of the
body being cleansed from the inside will inevitably become apparent on the
outside. It will result in healthier-looking skin, less wrinkles, and reduced
probability of skin outbreaks. The best part is that aging isn't only slowed on
skin-level; it is also happening within the body itself.
Other
benefits of tea include:
- - prevention of tooth decay and halitosis (black
tea)
- - help cure headaches and reduce inflammation
(ginger tea)
- - boost libido (ginseng tea)
- - combat allergies thanks to antihistamine content
(nettle tea)
- - replace sugar as sweetener (licorice root tea)
- - good coffee substitute
- - relieve constipation (peppermint tea)
- - improve sleep patterns (valerian root tea)
- - hydrate the body
- - reduce risks of heart disease
- - shrink tumors (green tea)
- - lower blood pressure
Even if skeptics say that tea is way overrated, it won't
hurt to drink it habitually anyway (but not too much, of course). Besides, it
is a cheap drink and is very easy to prepare. You have nothing to lose and
everything to gain when it comes to tea.

Lyme Disease Patients Denied Coverage For Treatment
A deer tick, a vector of Lyme disease and its coinfections |
Below is an excerpt from the Times Herald Record on how insurance companies are screwing over patients by refusing to cover the costs of treating Lyme disease. Read more below and contact Envita if you have any questions about how our treatment exceeds the typical "throw some antibiotics down your throat and cross your fingers approach."
Scores of local victims of a disease they say makes them so weak they can't drive, think clearly or make tea without laying down are being denied insurance payments for treatment of that disease.
This is despite the fact that the antibiotic Rocephin alleviates the symptoms of Lyme disease, say many patients who have used it and doctors and nurses who have treated them with it.
So in order to get the treatment for more than the 28 days allowed by many companies – or in some cases, to get it at all – victims like Kristin Raucci of Pine Bush, Scott Owens of Kerhonkson and Doreen Peone of Saugerties must pay hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars per month, often going broke or even, in the case of Owens, losing a business in the process.
What makes this even more frustrating to these victims of the tick-borne disease is that nearby Connecticut has a law requiring insurance companies to pay for that long-term treatment of Lyme.
“Until New York does something like that, there's nothing we can do,” says a spokeswoman for the New York Attorney General's Office, which filed an appeal to Raucci's insurance company, MVP, after it denied her request for more treatment with Rocephin. The attorney general's office – whose appeal of Raucci's case was also denied – says it's seen other cases like Raucci's, although it couldn't say how many.
“That's a sin,” says registered nurse Debbie Moll of New Jersey, who's treated many local patients with long-term intravenous doses of Rocephin and said “they absolutely did get better.”
