Issue 9.13.19 Health Benefits of Coconut Flour - 3 of 3

This part of the series is especially close to my heart and health because after years of maintaining a healthy blood sugar through diet, and natural supplements when necessary. I became a trauma-induced diabetic after a life-threatening MRSA infection I was exposed to in the surgery room of a plastic surgeon while having some very small (size of a lentil) moles removed on my forearm. Elevated blood sugar is nothing to take lightly; it changes your life forever!

That above episode is one reason I was prompted into creating healthy recipes that DO NOT include food or ingredients that “ignite” inflammation, elevate blood sugar-blood pressure-cholesterol, sabotage thyroid health, feed health-destroying yeast, and rob us of our quality of life.

Issue 8.30.19 Health Benefits of Coconut Flour - 2 of 3 in a Series

Continuing my series on the benefits of this super healthy food, it’s important to understand that we’re not simply touting its health-enhancing benefits to replace conventional flours (wheat, corn and flours containing high carbohydrate content and gluten), but also because of its inherent nutrients, listed below: 

What Health Nutrients/Benefits are in Coconut Flour?

Minerals: Coconut flour is a source of electrolytes because it is rich in ions such as manganese, calcium, selenium, phosphorus and potassium. These minerals have been shown to lower blood pressure and aid in the elimination of toxins from the body.

Issue 8.2.19 BioHacking - What is it...AND...Why is it Important?

BioHacking, a new scientific term, is the next frontier in healthcare – it’s all about getting to intimately know your body, and its “body talk” and take responsibility for its health – not blindly giving over its maintenance and wellness to someone else.

What I’m referring to is your intestinal microbiome—the powerful, bacterial world we can’t see—and it deeply impacts your overall health, including inflammatory disorders.

According to Sarah Gupta, MD, the senior medical liaison for uBiome, at a recent panel on biohacking the microbiome hosted by Parsley Health in San Francisco, “There have been many studies within the last three to five years linking changes in your intestinal microbiome with all kinds of disorders, some of which would have gotten you laughed out of a medical conference 20 years ago. For example, the connection between the intestinal microbiome, Parkinson’s disease, ADD/ADHD, etc.” The discussions took a deep dive into why understanding our microbiomes is so vital, and what’s coming next in research, I’ve summarized some of the discussions below.

Issue 7.19.19 Chronic Fatigue & Inflammation - The Connection

When chronic inflammation occurs, we often believe that it’s only the isolated area where we feel discomfort that is affected – NOT SO! Chronic fatigue of any type can be linked to inflammation and if the pain signals cross the blood-brain barrier – one more reason to understand what ignites inflammation or accelerates an existing condition. Those causes include, but are not limited to, foods that ignite inflammation and ALL chemical food additives. In addition, we KNOW scientifically that sugar and gluten cause inflammation along with a plethora of other disorders and diseases. That said, I’ll share with you the scientific connections as well as the ability for you to learn foods that ignite inflammation so you can avoid them.

Issue 7.3.19 Inflamm...aging

'Inflammaging' refers to the chronic, low-grade inflammation that characterizes aging – Inflammaging is macrophage centered, involves several tissues and organs, including the gut microbiota, and is characterized by a complex balance between pro- and anti-inflammatory responses.

Issue 6.21.19 See...ing the Causes of Eye Inflammation

Before I go into explanations of specific eye conditions and causes, let’s understand some of the medical terms.

Uveitis (pronounced you-vee-EYE-tis) is inflammation of the uvea — the middle layer of the eye that consists of the iris, ciliary body and choroid.

Uveitis can have many causes, including eye injury and inflammatory diseases. Additionally, exposure to toxic chemicals such as pesticides and acids used in manufacturing processes also can cause uveitis.

The type of uveitis you have is classified by where inflammation occurs in the uvea. CLICK LINK to read full article: Eye Inflammation - Uveitis

Issue 6.7.19 Top Foods for Eye Health and the Inflammation Connection

People often believe that failing eyesight is an inevitable result of aging or eye strain. In truth, a healthy lifestyle that includes nutrients for eye health and foods that are anti-inflammatory can significantly reduce the risk of eye health problems.

The Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS), published in 2001, found that certain nutrients — zinc, copper, vitamin C, vitamin E, and beta carotene — may reduce the risk of age-related decline in eye health by up to 25 percent.

The above study was updated in 2013 to test different versions of the original nutrients studied. The variations included additions of omega-3 fatty acids, zeaxanthin, lutein, and beta carotene; the study found all were important to repair and maintain eye health. 

In this first of three articles, I’m sharing with you the evidence for 10 nutrient-rich foods to boost eye health. Additionally, I’ll also discuss other tips for healthy eyes and eye health warning signs. CLICK link Foods for Eye Health & the Inflammation Connection for the entire article.
