Here We Go Again...Why Sweet Potatoes Instead of Traditional Potatoes?

Daily I'm asked about how to use Sweet Potatoes after a consultation for Wholistic Rejuvenation and they are advised to AVOID all nightshades. I've written for over twenty years about how nightshades create and induce inflammation so I'm not going to bore you with the details again. That said, for some reason people turn up their noses at the thought of a sweet potato to replace any dish you'd use traditional potatoes for. I guess I just don't get... I'm a gourmet cook and I also teach inflammation-free cooking to chefs at Culinary Institutes, there's very little - if any - difference and that difference is actually very tasty and a new delicate comfort food.

Pictured above are some foods in the nightshade family, if you have ANY inflammation AVOID them like the plague.

Because there is SO much confusion as to the various types of sweet potatoes, I created a chart that illustrates the numerous varieties and their health benefits. Just keep in mind that ANY genre of sweet potatoes is acceptable to avoid inflammation...YES...even those gorgeous purple ones that I first devoured in Hawaii.

SO, before you feel like you're giving up that favorite comfort food - traditional potatoes - transition to sweet potatoes and you'll soon experience the health benefits of not inducing or accelerating inflammation - often you don't even realize just how much inflammation is in your body until you completely delete all nightshades for at least 6-8 weeks...you'll be SO glad you did!

Subtle Symptoms of Thyroid Disorder You Should NEVER Ignore

If you’re Feeling Sadness and/or Depression for unknown reasons, the “butterfly” in your neck could be the cause of it either flapping its wings too hard and fast, or not moving at all.

Studies show that an over – or under-active thyroid can completely alter your mood and affect how you deal with stress in a healthy way. In addition, too little thyroid hormone (hypo) usually affects your levels of the “happy” serotonin in the brain, making you feel unusually blue, unmotivated and even various levels of depression. A hyper thyroid function can make you anxious, restless, irritable, impatient and tends to create stress-induced adrenal fatigue.

• Constipation even though you consume sufficient fiber and hydrate

A slow thyroid function, described as a slow metabolizer, can cause an overall slow down of the entire digestive processes and leads to chronic constipation.

• Your sleep never seems to be enough

Most people really don’t treasure getting up in the morning. That said, when morning arrives and getting up is absolutely unbearable, it can mean your thyroid needs nutrition. A “starved” thyroid can make bodily functions slow to a turtle’s pace.

4 of 4 - Myths & Truth’s About Consuming Alcohol AND…FREE Consult with Dr. Gloria

 

Whether red wine has any prominent health benefit is still a debatable issue among some conventional medical methodologies. However, ongoing studies have shown that consuming a moderate amount of red wine, which has an alcohol content of 12% -15% on a daily basis helps in the prevention of a number of diseases including heart disease.

It should be remembered that there is a fine line of difference between moderate and excessive. Too much consumption of wine can be detrimental to health. On the other hand, too little of it would not give you the benefits usually enjoyed by the moderate drinkers.

3 of 4: Myths & Truths About Consuming Alcohol and FREE Phone Consultation with Dr. Gloria

In helping you understand the vital role of the liver, and what it takes to keep it healthy, it is also important to remember that it is the ONLY organ that given the right detoxification and support can completely regenerate if at least a small portion is still healthy – believed to be at least the size of a silver dollar.

One of the best-known roles of the liver is as a detoxification system. It removes toxic substances from blood, such as alcohol and drugs, according to the Canadian Liver Foundation. It also breaks down hemoglobin, insulin and excessive hormones to keep hormone levels in balance. Additionally, it destroys old blood cells.

The liver is vital for healthy metabolic function. It metabolizes carbohydrates, lipids and proteins into useful substances, such as glucose, cholesterol, phospholipids and lipoproteins that are used in various cells throughout the body, as reported by Colorado State University's Department of Biomedical Sciences' Hypertexts for Pathophysiology: Metabolic Functions of the Liver. The liver breaks down the unusable parts of proteins and converts them into ammonia, and eventually urea.

SPECIAL REPORT - Your ProActive & Reactive Immune Kit

Yes, I know it's hot outside and you're not thinking about preparing for what occurs each fall and winter...however...it's just around the corner and keeping my commitment to my members, here is your dose of, "Health thru Education."

Every year I go through the scenario of patients/clients asking what to do to protect themselves proactively when school begins as does the influenza season. This year, more than ever, we know we must take additional steps for protection because of the pandemic we’ve all been thrust into and the possibility this fall and winter flu season will be different as is unfortunately predicted.

Many of you asked if I would write about steps to take so you can refer to it rather than an audio which I’ve done several times, you asked, here it is. The most important thing to remember is to take steps BEFORE you get sick. In addition, since the beginning of the cold and flu season begins shortly after school starts in September, it’s advised to begin your protocols by August 1^st for maximum protection and don’t stop until after the first of the new year after the cold and flu season has passed and all the holiday gatherings where the potential risk of contamination is the highest.
