ISRAEL ACADEMY OF ANTI AGING

ISRAEL ACADEMY OF ANTI-AGING

This is an organization dedicated to making people live 150 years. I think it's the translation into English-and what they MEAN is helping and encouraging as well as spearheading WAYS...but! They promote RAW FOOD which they call natural hygiene.

Combat Inflammation and low thyroid with Wheatgrass Juice

So why do I love the wheatgrass juice? 

Wheatgrass primarily neutralizes infections, overcomes inflammations, and gets rid of parasitic infections. It purifies the blood, detoxes the liver, and cleans the colon. It has the same chemical composition as hemoglobin. 

A study at the U of California showed that it even repairs DNA. I FEEL better when I do wheatgrass, daily. That’s what I notice.  

Here’s what happens- if you body is in a state of inflammation, it is causing your adrenals to pump out MORE cortisol. Why cortisol? Well, cortisol is an anti-inflammatory. Your body is TRYING to correct it. 

Excess insulin also causes inflammation. MORE fish oils and flaxseed oils and less vegetable oils and cut out cooked oils completely.

Increase selenium-bran, nuts, tuna if you must, onions, tomatoes, broccoli.

Inflammation also goes hand in hand with underactive thyroid. And here’s news-the medical community says .50 - 5.0 is a normal range for women “our age” meaning 35-50. That means your thyroid can test down to less than 1 for function and they still won’t want to medicate. 

What’s going to boost your thyroid function in a natural way are all the things we are eating- carrots, spinach, apricots, asparagus, olive oil, avocado, sunflower seeds, whole grain cereals, bananas, oily fish, so choose meals that include these foods. But I will tell you that for me taking thyroid did NOT help. It did force my thyroid but it didn’t help my problem. I am off thyroid meds, I am off water pills. What HAS helped is using food in a whole new way. I feel awesome.

Hippocrates said, "Let your foods be your medicine and your medicine be your foods."

When we are talking about adding cooked foods, keep it to cooked VEGETABLE foods. If you start adding stuff the body is going to react to, don’t be surprised and don’t get down on yourself. Figure it is all information! No failure, only feedback.

Reaction is inflammation. If you miss hot foods, then cook your vegetables, do simmer soups. Keep your foods simple and NOTICE! We are shamans. We are trackers. We are calling ourselves back to our healthiest state of being and clearing ourselves of why we have settled for less in our lives…less health, less life, less happiness, less. It’s time to expect more.

Remember: this is not about being a raw foodist. It's about living a balanced healthy life.

Enjoy!

Magnesium for your Health

Someone recently asked me about Magnesium. The question was which TYPE of Magnesium should we take? It's a great question because there is a plethora of Magnesium at the health food store. Enough to truly and completely confuse us.

I've always thought we needed more Mag than we get, and I remember reading that they reduced the RDA during WW2 because they were afraid there wouldn't be enough Mg to make bombs for the war. They've never changed the rates btw. Guess they were anticipating more wars! How right they were.

It occurred to me however, that since then, almost all of the diseases that have increased since the 1940s seem to have a link to low levels of Magnesium and can be helped by increasing magnesium levels.

Heart disease is now the leading cause of death in women-low magnesium can cause heart arrhythmias. Add magnesium ladies and gentlemen!
Colon cancers, digestive issues and bowel issues have all increased: Add magnesium for colon care. It relaxes the intestinal tract and alkalizes.
Anxiety, depression, PTSD, mood swings, PMS: Add magnesium, because it helps nerves and nerve endings, brain function and balance. Without it, the brain hyper-statics. (My word for how it feels.)
Osteoporosis: more magnesium helps the body use the calcium. We need an 1:1 ratio. But most over the  counter selections are HALF the mag to Ca.
Sleep issues: if you are low in Mg your sleep is restless. Add Mg gel to your feet, or Natural Calm before bedtime.
Muscle cramps and restless leg syndrome: yep, magnesium!

"I n  a s t u d y o f m o r e t h a n 2 0 0 p a t i e n t s , D r W . Davis used magnesium chloride as a possible means of combatting insomnia. The researcher reported that sleep was induced rapidly and was uninterrupted, and that waking tiredness disappeared in 99 per cent of the patients. In addition, anxiety and tension diminished during the day."

But you know what has happened since WW2? We started creating medical solutions for the symptoms. And some of them are pretty big-pacemakers for the heart, hormone replacement therapies, a ton of pharmacology solutions for depression and moods.

Parkinsons-like tremors have been reduced with Mg.
Sleep issues have been cleared by adding Mg at night.

"If magnesium levels are low, the nerves lose control over muscle activity, respiration and mental processes. Nervous fatigue, tics and twitches, tremors, irritability, h y p e r s e n s i t i v i t y, m u s c l e s p a s m s , r e s t l e s s n e s s , a n x i e t y , confusion, disorientation and irregular heartbeat all respond to increased magnesium intake." 

The answer: look for Magnesium chloride.
Don't bother with Magnesium oxide. We only utilize about 4%.
