ARTICLE: "SHOULD I GET A FLU SHOT? (+9 WAYS TO FIGHT THE FLU NATURALLY)
Should I get a Flu Shot? (+9 Ways to Fight the Flu Naturally)
By Dr. David Jockers DC, Ms, CSCS
From The Truth About Cancer website
Below is an excerpt from the article. To read the article in its entirety, click on the link below:
Article Summary:
- Advertisements promoting flu vaccines are everywhere this time of year, so you may be asking yourself, “Should I Get a Flu Shot?”
- Flu vaccines are increasingly shown to be ineffective and even hazardous to our health.
- A variety of flu shots are available depending on a person’s age and location of injection. This 2016-2017 flu season the CDC recommends either the inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV) or the recombinant influenza vaccine (RIV).
- Here are some of the potentially harmful ingredients found in the flu vaccine (see the article for associated side effects):
- Formaldehyde
- Thimerosal/ Mercury
- Egg Protein
- Sucrose and Gelatin
- Aluminum salts
- Neomycin
- Monosodium Glutamate (MSG)
- Polysorbate 80
- There is no single virus that causes the flu and there is no single flu vaccine that protects against all strains. More than 3,000 various strains of the virus are narrowed down (based on a best guess by scientists) to 3 viruses to create protection against.
- Follow the steps below to maximize your likelihood of staying healthy and free of the flu and other illnesses:
- Stay Hydrated
- Get adequate sun exposure
- Supplement with vitamin C
- Supplement with zinc
- Eat probiotic rich foods
- Utilize essential oils
- Consume Herbs
- Practice Grounding
- See a Chiropractor

Are Mangoes the Key to Lowering Blood Pressure and Having a Healthy Gut?

For countless years, the mango has been considered a dietary staple
in regions of South Asia. In fact, it is the national fruit of India,
Pakistan, and the Philippines.
You may already know the
nutritional benefits of the mango, and how they contain a wide range of
vitamins and minerals, but did you know mangoes also provide a variety
of polyphenols? These polyphenols are excellent sources of
micronutrients usually found in plants.
Now, a new study has examined the correlation between blood pressure and gut health after eating mangoes.
The
University of California, Davis, (UCD) presented their study regarding
the natural health benefits of mangoes at the American Society for
Nutrition’s annual meeting (Nutrition 2018), held in Boston, MA, in
June.
The scientists at UCD wanted to explore how our stomachs
break down the fruit and process these polyphenols because of debate
over the nutritional benefits of mangoes. Many doctors believe that
despite being packed with polyphenols, we may not unlock the full
antioxidant potential of mangoes because our stomachs break down these
polyphenols before they can influence bodily processes.
The UCD
research exposed two dozen healthy postmenopausal women to high doses of
honey mangoes in their diets for two weeks and then removed the fruit
entirely afterward for 13 days.
Throughout the study, researchers examined the women’s blood pressure and gut health. The results showed blood pressure could be significantly lowered two hours after eating a mango.
The study also found improved gut health in about half of the
participants who had demonstrated signs of poor gut health at the start
of the study.
Mangoes are a fantastic natural provider of
nutrition. Whether it is simply because they are packed with vitamins
and minerals, or for helping to lower blood pressure and healing the
gut in some people – although more research is needed on that front.
In any case, enjoying delicious organic mango-based recipes will help supply your diet with nutrients and enzymes your body may be missing!

ARTICLE: "HERE'S WHY YOU SHOULD BE SLEEPING WITH YOUR BEDROOM DOOR CLOSED"
"Here's Why You Should Be Sleeping With Your Bedroom Door Closed"
From the TIP Hero website
http://tiphero.com/sleep-bedroom-door-closed/
When we take precautions against house fires,
they usually entail smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, and an escape
plan. But how many of us have thought about the bedroom door for
protection?
According to the National Fire Protection Association,
the majority of fire-related deaths are not caused by burns, but by
smoke inhalation. Within minutes, a fire can ignite, and smoke fumes can
fill up a home, causing oxygen loss, respiratory distress, and organ
damage.
Sadly,
if someone is asleep during a fire, that can shorten the time they have
to escape flames or fumes. Experts say that sleeping with your door
shut can make a huge difference in surviving a house fire.
To demonstrate, the Today show’s Jeff Rossen did a segment that details the difference between a closed door and open door during a real fire. Using a makeshift home, a fire was set in the living room and left to burn for minutes to simulate how a barrier would work.
You’ll
notice that smoke is slow to seep into the room with the closed door,
while the room that’s open has smoke pouring into it. Listen carefully
as it is explained how hot the temperature is outside the closed door.
Fire
experts urge people to sleep with their bedroom doors shut in an effort
to buy time or save their own lives. It is advised to have smoke alarms
installed outside of the sleeping areas of the home, and if possible,
inside each room too.
When
minutes count to survive a fire, this one move can give you the time
you need to escape or call for help. Keep watching to see the final
outcome of the rooms affected in this fire safety video! (Click HERE then scroll down to see the video.)

ARTICLE: PEDIA-SURE, ENSURE, OTHER NUTRITION DRINKS RECALLED
Article from the Food Safety News
The maker of some of North America’s best known “dense nutrition”
liquids, which are frequently used for young children and elderly or
sick adults, is recalling more products in relation to at least one
illness.
Although the nature of the illness has not been reported, recall
notices for the Abbott products reference the possibility bacterial
contamination. Canadian officials reported consumer complaints triggered
the product recalls.
Abbott, a multinational corporation with a range of health-related
divisions, initially recalled three of its liquid nutrition products on
Sept. 23. The company distributed those products to retailers nationwide
in Canada, according to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA). At
that time Canadian officials were investigating one illness associated
with the consumption of the products.
The CFIA’s Oct. 15 notice also referenced only one illness, but it added more than a dozen products to the recall list.
“This additional information was identified during the Canadian Food
Inspection Agency’s food safety investigation in collaboration with
Abbott,” according to the Oct. 15 recall notice.
“Abbott is recalling certain Abbott brand formulated liquid nutrition
products in 235 mL metal cans from the marketplace due to possible
bacterial contamination. Consumers should not consume and distributors,
retailers and food service establishments such as hospitals and nursing
homes should not sell or use the recalled products described below.”
Anyone who has consumed any of the recalled products and become sick,
or served them to someone who then became ill, is urged to seek medical
attention.
The CFIA is verifying that industry is removing recalled product from
the marketplace. If other high-risk products are recalled, the CFIA
will notify the public through updated Food Recall Warnings.

ARTICLE: "HERE'S WHAT SLEEPING LESS THAN 7 HOURS EACH NIGHT DOES TO YOUR BODY AND BRAIN"
Here's What Sleeping Less Than 7 Hours Each Night Does to Your Body and Brain
Article from TIPHERO website
Below is an excerpt from the article. To read the article in its entirety, click on the link below:
You’ve probably heard that you need to get your eight hours of sleep
a night, but how often do you actually get that? Most people get by on
six or seven hours, or sometimes even less. And sometimes this feels
fine. But this might be even more harmful than we thought.
Sleep deprivation
can be really serious—even as serious as some diseases, like cancer.
That’s because frequently not getting a full night’s rest is linked to a
higher risk of actually getting cancer, according to a study
published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. Research has
shown lack of sleep can lead to colon or breast cancer in particular.
Being sleep impaired can also have a negative effect on your heart, a study
published in Sleep Medicine Reviews found. Blood pressure and risk of
heart disease can both increase the more sleep deprived you are.
There’s
more bad news. If you ever noticed that on a day you were particularly
sleep deprived, you can’t remember much that happened that day, there’s
research to back that up. One study
published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism
(among others) have found that adults running on empty have find it
difficult to remember words they’ve learned and are sometimes unable to
improve skills that were learned on that day.

ARTICLE SUMMARY:
- Fruits and vegetables get their color from the micronutrients they contain. This is why it’s critical to eat all the colors of the rainbow − the vitamins and phytonutrients responsible for providing color vary in each and every plant source.
- The nutrients you’ll receive from eating the nutritional rainbow act as powerful antioxidants that inhibit and repair damage from carcinogenic activity.
- Insufficient dietary factors are considered the primary cause of cancer worldwide, and are especially associated with cancers like colorectal and prostate cancer.
- Human survival requires an alkaline pH of 7.365 in the blood. The modern Western diet is loaded with an abundance of acidic foods. A plant-based diet, on the other hand, has alkalizing properties.
- Incorporate the rainbow into your diet by introducing a combination of fruits and veggies that you enjoy eating. This will provide you with countless health benefits to reduce your risk of developing cancer.

ARTICLE: "We’ve All Got Salt In Our Home, But How Many Of You Think To Use It For This?"
"We've All Got Salt in Our Home, But How Many Of You Think To Use it For This?"
From the TIP HERO website
( http://tiphero.com/creative-uses-for-salt/ )
Table salt: it’s a culinary staple–and, unless you are watching your blood pressure,
chances are you have a big jar of it sitting in your cupboard at this
very moment. But, did you know that salt isn’t just good for cooking?
It’s also an important ingredient that can be used in some of the best
life hacks around.
Our
buddies over at Household Hacker created a video to show us all about
the wonders of table salt. In it, we are graced with a whopping 7
different ways salt can be used to make our lives easier. Here are our
favorites from the clip:
Clean up messy, broken eggs
Do you routinely suffer from
messes after your little ones help you cook breakfast in the morning? If
so, you’re likely very well-acquainted with the fact that eggs are
much, MUCH stickier than you could ever imagine! The next time you are
dealing with an eggy mess, just grab your salt shaker and sprinkle a
generous amount of the crystals all over the cracked egg. The salt
contains properties that help the egg coagulate, making it very simple
to wipe away.
Extinguish grease fires
Grease fires are one of the leading causes of catastrophic home fires.
To nip one in the bud, simply grab a large jar of salt and pour it
directly onto the flames until it is no longer burning. This hack works
so well, that you might want to consider keeping a large jar right next
to the stove!
Dissolve dreaded sink hairballs
Is there anything grosser
than a bathtub drain that’s stopped up due to a humungous hairball? (We
hope you’re not eating your lunch while you’re reading this!) To get rid
of the nasty hair clumps, you can mix together roughly 1/4 cup of
baking soda and 1/4 cup of salt. After everything is mixed, shake it up
and run it down the drain. Next, pour a cup of white vinegar down the
drain, too. The reaction will look similar to a Mentos-Diet Coke science
project and is surprisingly effective at breaking up hair.
Keep ants at bay and far away
Fun fact: Did you know that ants absolutely HATE
salt? It’s true–the little buggers won’t go anywhere near the stuff,
which is why sprinkling the tiny crystals all over the ants and/or their
hangouts works very well. We love the trick because it’s effective and
is also all-natural–no more smelly, chemical-filled ant sprays!
Now
that you have these handy tips in your personal cleaning arsenal, it’s
time to unlock the other 3 salt-related life hacks. To learn about them
for yourself, be sure to watch Household Hacker’s video: click on this link --> (http://tiphero.com/creative-uses-for-salt/). With just
a pinch of salt, you, too, can transform into a domestic god or
goddess!
