Poor Circulation Causes Your Cells to Suffer
The cells of your body are like little plants- give them plenty of water, oxygen and nutrients, and they thrive. If they don’t get enough of these they suffer and don’t perform properly. So if your blood is ‘sluggish’, by the time it gets to your cells, it has lost most of its oxygen and nutrients, and is full of wastes. (In bad cases, the blood itself becomes toxic to the cells!) The cells start to malfunction, and over time, large areas of the body, and even entire organs, can become affected.The quality and quantity of blood getting to your cells is very important for your health. In China, researchers are now of the opinion that deterioration of circulation in the body is the major reason health problems develop as we age.

Because poor circulation to the cells retards healing, it is important to check the flow of blood to the area for any chronic problem or condition that isn’t healing well.

A simple way to help the circulation in the skin and inside of the body is Dry Skin Brushing. Please click hereif you would like a handout on the benefits of Dry Skin Brushing, with instructions on how to do it.

Latest Medical Research
In the interests of helping our clients make informed decisions regarding their health, we offer a selection of recent internet medical articles which may be of interest. Click on the headline to go to the full research article.Looking After Your Body Helps Prevent Alzheimer’s Taking care of your body just might save your mind.

Millions of cases of Alzheimer’s disease worldwide could be prevented by curbing risk factors such as high blood pressure, smoking, and lack of exercise, new research suggests.

Seven conditions or behaviours account for up to half of Alzheimer’s.

Lack of education was important, presumably because studying involves regularly ‘exercising’ the brain. However, in the United States (and probably Australia), inactivity is the leading factor.

Depression made the next biggest impact on Alzheimer’s cases, followed by smoking and high blood pressure in mid-life. Untreated or inadequately treated depression has long been known to raise the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.

Alzheimer’s cases are expected to triple by 2050. A dementia specialist said that a common misconception is that you’re “dealt a deck of cards at birth,” but “people need not just sit back and watch this unfold.” Comment Prevention is always better than cure. There are a number of nutrients that are essential for correct functioning of the brain. Alzheimer’s Disease patients are often found to have deficiencies in B12, folate and essential fatty acids (such as found in fish oils). Heavy metals, such as Aluminium, Cadmium and Lead may also play a part. Some amino acids are believed to help protect against the damage to the brain caused by glutamate, a neuro-toxin. (MSG is Monosodium glutamate, so too much MSG is hazardous to the brain.)   The discovery that B vitamins can help prevent Alzheimer’s has been hailed as a major breakthrough by the medical community.   It is important to note that dehydration in the elderly can produce symptoms identical to Alzheimer’s. Tea is a diuretic, so elderly who are heavy tea drinkers are more prone to dehydration.   The answers to preventing Alzheimer’s appear to lie in

  • maintaining good health through exercise, keeping your blood pressure under control, and not smoking
  • Keeping your brain active
  • Avoiding use of aluminium cooking utensils and other possible sources of heavy metals
  • Quality nutrition, and supplements of the most important nutrients for your brain

Please see our naturopath Ainsley Cherry for more information about the prevention and treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease. Vegetarian (High Fibre) Diet May Prevent Common Bowel Problem Diverticulitis Vegetarians are a third less likely to get the common bowel disorder diverticulitis, than their meat eating counterparts. These results were not unexpected, as previous research has indicated that a low fibre diet can cause diverticulitis, and vegetarians typically have more fibre in their diet than average.

Typical symptoms include painful abdominal cramps, bloating, wind, constipation and diarrhoea.

Comment Please note that too much fibre can cause mineral deficiencies, so having plenty of fruit and veges is generally better than taking fibre products.   Common Painkillers Linked to Irregular Heart Beats, Heart Attacks, and Strokes Commonly used painkillers, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen, have been shown to increase the risk of atrial fibrillation (irregular heart beat), between 40% to 70%. Atrial fibrillation is associated with an increased long term risk of stroke, heart failure, and death. These Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can also cause stomach haemorrhage, and shouldn’t be used if you have kidney impairment.
