Nutrition Does Affect What We Do

I came across this information and I thought it was powerful. To all of those who think it doesn't matter what we eat, here you go.

Crime and Nutrition

Study of prison systems in 5 states

·       Adult felons had deficiencies of Magnesium, Zinc, Folate or B6

·       Violent offenders had 5-9 deficiencies in all 5 states

OK Children’s Center

• Change of diet resulted in 43% reduction in serious crime (high fat and sucrose in offenders)
• Brain Wave abnormalities EEG in felons
• Went from 14 -2 switching diet
• One child went from 6 to 0
• 
  

Selenium and Behavior

• Deficiencies cause depression and confusion
• High selenium supplementation (227ug/d) saw significant improvement in mood
• Newer studies show that selenium plays a major role in brain function

Sugar Consumption and Behavior

• 1900 4 lbs. yr
• Now 129 yr 2500% increase
• 57% of this comes from processed foods
• Leading source is fruit juices and sodas (43%)
• Apple juice, 35g of sugar all berry juices extremely high in sugar
• Since 1974 consumption of sodas has doubled, teens are drinking 54 t. sugar a day
• Limit should be 10 t. day
• Study from UNC chapel hill found:
• Adults ages 40-59 increased intake of soft drinks 250% between the years 1972 and 2001
• Those over age 60 increased 300%
• Sugar increased the free radicals in brain automatically, and makes every cell in you body age much faster  esp. brain cells
• Alzheimer’s 6x’s high with sugar intake
• Estimates that  50% of people have reactive hypoglycemia, which means if u eat or drink something with sugar, your blood sugar will fall dramatically cuz of over secretion of insulin…….some ppl pass out and some can die

Hypoglycemia and Aggression

·       Strong connection between alcohol abuse, hypoglycemia and criminal behavior. The most violent felons in prison are mostly hypoglycemic and alcohol abusers and violent felons when drink, blood sugar drops significantly

·       97% of alcoholics are hypoglycemic vs. 18% for controls…….it gives tremendous energy when drinking.

·       When it is treated 71% became sober, AA only 25%

·       Associated with aggression, esp. those with temporal lobe dysfunction.  These are the ppl who have road rage and kill /stab someone for minor things

·       Most violent ppl are alcoholics their blood sugar is low and it drives them like wild animals

·       Indians of Peru – 55% hypoglycemia and aggression very high

Hypoglycemia and Aggression

·       Aspartame (Nutra Sweet) and MSG both stimulate insulin release from the pancreas and induce hypoglycemia

·       Aspartame causes weight gain not loose weight, cuz it causes hypoglycemia and makes you eat more, snack etc and so does MSG

·       MSG can induce intense rage with microinjections into the hypothalamus (part of the brain) can make a mouse attack and kill a cat

·       If have hypoglycemia and add MSG, greatly magnified. Doritos high in MSG that’s why they taste so good. Excitotoxicity destroys brain cells

·       Several amino acids can make you hypoglycemic

Study of violent offenders in prison…..changes in blood sugar causes these antisocial behaviors and make you do things you would not normally do.

Sugar in children

• Children eat 40% of their calories as sugar
• ADD and ADHD
• Giving sugar equal to one coke decline in mental performance by 30 min and highly significant at 1 hour (made 2x’s as many mistakes)
• Harmful effect subsided about 1.5 hours after they consumed the drink

Serotonin levels and sugar

·       Can create killer mice by lowering brain serotonin

·       Main diet mostly potatoes

·       Quolla Indians in Andes of Peru very aggressive cuz 55% of male were hypoglycemic

·       Docile males, normal blood sugar

·       76 hyperactive children on low carob 29:11

So as you can see what we eat makes a HUGE difference in what we do. I pray God will help you to make those necessary changes in your diet.

Five Health Benefits of Eating Cashews

One of my favorite nuts are cashews. I could eat them every day! They're salty and oh so satisfying. Who doesn't enjoy a handful of cashews? When you munch on a mouthful of cashews you may be getting more than satisfying taste; these filling little nuts have health properties that make them an excellent snack choice when eaten in moderation. What are the health benefits of eating cashews?

Health benefits of eating cashews: Heart healthy fats

Although all nuts are relatively high in fat, they're rich in heart healthy monounsaturated fats. Unlike saturated fats that elevate cholesterol levels, monounsaturated fats have the opposite effect. Not only do they lower LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels, but they help to reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke. Cashews have one of the lowest overall fat contents of all of the common nuts and are a good source of oleic acid, the same fatty acid that makes olive oil so heart healthy. If you want to keep your ticker ticking, a handful of cashews a day could be your snack of choice.

Health benefits of eating cashews: Blood pressure lowering magnesium

A quarter cup of cashews supplies almost twenty-five percent of the daily requirement for magnesium. Magnesium plays an important role in maintaining a healthy blood pressure and is an important mineral for diabetics because it reduces insulin resistance. Studies have also shown that people who have low magnesium levels are at higher risk of heart disease. Like calcium, magnesium plays an important role in building and maintaining bone health.

Health benefits of eating cashews: Can they control weight?

Because cashews are high in protein, monounsaturated fats and fiber, they're both filling and satisfying. Studies have shown that people who eat nuts on a daily basis are less likely to gain weight and have a tendency to be thinner, on average, than those who don't. It may be that eating nuts like cashews is so filling that it reduces overall calorie consumption. Cashews should be eaten in moderation since they're energy dense and relatively high in calories. (a quarter cup has almost 200 calories).

Health benefits of eating cashews: They're a source of antioxidants.

Antioxidants, those free radical scavengers that help to protect cells from damage, are found in abundance in cashews. One more reason why cashews are a great choice.

Health benefits of eating cashews: They're rich in copper.

Copper is a mineral that the body can't produce so copper rich foods such as cashews are required for good health. A quarter cup of cashews supplies a third of the daily requirement for copper which is needed for maintaining healthy collagen, a substance that lines blood vessels and supports the skin and joints. Copper is also important for helping the body use iron and for production of melanin, the pigment that gives hair its color.

Now I have more excuses to eat cashews! :)

Vaccines - Safe or Unsafe?

"The Rest of the Story"....as Paul Harvey would say

(Natural News) To hear it from the vaccine makers, their vaccines are perfectly safe and have no side effects. A person can receive an unlimited number of vaccines (10, 100 or even 1000) and have absolutely no ill effects, they claim. This is the quack science mythology upon which mass vaccination policies are currently based. But new evidence is emerging that people receiving a seasonal flu shot are made more susceptible to H1N1 swine flu as a result.


CBC News in Canada is now reporting disturbing findings you need to know about: "Four Canadian studies involved about 2,000 people, health officials told CBC News. Researchers found people who had received the seasonal flu vaccine in the past were more likely to get sick with the H1N1 virus."


The story doesn't cite the percentage increase in H1N1 virus risk, but it's apparently enough to give pause to many doctors and infectious disease experts. "We don't know with this year's flu shot how it interacts with the pandemic flu shot, so it's a worry," said Dr. Michael Gardam in the CBC News article quoted below. He's the director of infectious diseases prevention and control at the Ontario Agency for Health Protection and Promotion.


The upshot of all this is that Canadian health officials are now scratching their heads, wondering whether the seasonal flu vaccines will actually make the H1N1 pandemic worse!


It's fascinating that this data is coming out of Canada, not the U.S. In the United States, the mainstream media has engaged in a virtual blackout of any information that questions the safety of vaccines, even while openly pushing outrageous lies about the swine flu vaccine (http://www.naturalnews.com/027055_s...).

Vaccines weaken your immune system

What this information reveals is further evidence that flu shots damage or weaken your immune system, making you more susceptible to subsequent infections. Flu shots don't even work to reduce your risk of getting the flu that they're targeting! Most people who get the flu are the very same people who routinely receive flu shots.


This will hold true with H1N1 swine flu as well: The people getting the swine flu virus will be primarily those who routinely receive flu vaccinations.


You know why? Because a flu shot trains your immune system to be lazy. It exposes your immune technology to an artificially weakened virus, resulting in a lazy adaptive response from your immune technology. In much the same way that your leg muscles atrophy if you stop walking, your immune system begins to weaken if you don't exercise it. And this leads to an increased risk of being unable to defend against future exposure to infectious disease, which is exactly what we're seeing with this Canadian study.


Vaccines are the quackery of modern medicine. They not only don't work to protect people from the diseases they target; they also increase the risk of being infected with other diseases. And that doesn't even include the ways in which vaccine ingredients (adjuvants or preservatives) can cause permanent damage to your nervous system.


If vaccines strengthen the immune system (as vaccine makers imply), then why do people who take such vaccines end up at higher risk of future infections? The only rational explanation for this is that vaccines compromise immune function. And if that's true, then why should anyone take them in the first place?

Vitamin D makes flu shot vaccines obsolete

We could do away with vaccines almost entirely by giving people vitamin D supplements instead. Seasonal flu is no match for healthy levels of vitamin D in the blood, and with the addition of a few immune-supporting nutrients (like vitamin C, zinc, and omega-3 oils), the days of people getting sick from the seasonal flu would be all but over.


People who have adequate levels of vitamin D in their blood rarely get sick from seasonal flu. The flu primarily strikes those who are nutritionally deficient in one or more key immune system nutrients.


But rather than teach patients how to correct those deficiencies, the entire industry of western medicine would much rather poke a hole in your arm, inject you with chemicals, charge you forty bucks and keep you in the dark about the nutrients that would have protected you better in the first place. That's modern medicine for you: Consumer ignorance plus chemical intervention. It's a great recipe for making money, but it's a terrible recipe for protecting public health.


That's why I say just say no to ALL vaccines. They harm you far more than they help, and they're based on the most absurd medical quackery you can imagine. As is common throughout the pharmaceutical industry, most of the "evidence" supporting the efficacy of vaccines was fabricated by drug companies. There is absolutely no evidence anywhere in the world that says vaccines protect you from seasonal flu better than vitamin D and immune-boosting nutrients. There's not even any trustworthy evidence that seasonal flu shots reduce your long-term risk of being infected with the flu.


But now there is evidence that receiving a seasonal flu shot may increase your risk of contracting H1N1 swine flu, and that's something to carefully consider if you value your health (or your life).

Crazy Coincidence or a Created Purpose?

Interesting......."The Doctrine of Signatures"

    A stupendous insight of civilizations past has now been confirmed by today's investigative, nutritional sciences.  They have shown that what was once called "The Doctrine of Signatures" was astoundingly correct.

    It now contends that every whole food has a pattern that resembles a body organ or physiological function and that this pattern acts as a signal or sign as to the benefit the food provides the eater.

    Here is just a short list of examples of Whole Food Signatures.


A sliced Carrot looks like the human eye. The pupil, iris and radiating lines look just like the human eye...and YES science now shows that carrots greatly enhance blood flow to and function of the eyes.

A Tomato has four chambers and is red.  The heart is red and has four chambers.  All of the research shows tomatoes are indeed pure heart and blood food. 

Grapes hang in a cluster that has the shape of the heart. Each grape looks like a blood cell and all of the research today shows that grapes are also profound heart and blood vitalizing food.

A Walnut looks like a little brain, a left and right hemisphere, upper cerebrums and lower cerebelums.  Even the wrinkles or folds are on the nut just like the neo-cortex.  We now know that walnuts help develop over 3 dozen neuro-transmitters for brain function.

Kidney Beans actually heal and help maintain kidney function and yes, they look exactly like the human kidneys.

Celery, Bok Choy, Rhubarb and more look just like bones. These foods specifically target bone strength.  Bones are 23% sodium and these foods are 23% sodium.  If you don't have enough sodium in your diet the body pulls it from the bones, making them weak. These foods replenish the skeletal needs of the body.

Eggplant, avocados and pears target the health and function of the womb and cervix of the female.  They look just like these organs.  Today's research shows that when a woman eats 1 avocado a week, it balances hormones, sheds unwanted birth weight and prevents cervical cancers.  And how profound is this? .....it takes exactly 9 months to grow an avocado from blossom to ripened fruit. There are over 14,000 phytolytic chemical constituents of nutrition in each one of these foods (modern science has only studied and named about 141 of them).

Figs are full of seeds and hang in twos when they grow. Figs increase the motility of male sperm and increase the numbers of sperm as well to overcome male sterility.

Sweet Potatoes look like the pancreas and actually balance the
glycemic index of diabetics.

Olives assist the health and function of the ovaries.

Grapefruits, Oranges , and other Citrus fruits look just like the mammary glands of the female and actually assist the health of the breasts and the movement of lymph in and out of the breasts.

Onions look like body cells. Today's research shows that onions help clear waste materials from all of the body cells.  They even produce tears which wash the epithelial layers of the eyes.

Bananas, Cucumber, Zucchini and more target the size and strength of the male sexual organ. It's true!

What an amazing God we have!

Microwave Test

Below is a Science fair project presented by a girl in a secondary school in Sussex. In it she took filtered water and divided it into two parts. The first part she heated to boiling in a pan on the stove, and the second part she heated to boiling in a microwave. Then after cooling she used the water to water two identical plants to see if there would be any difference in the growth between the normal boiled water and the water boiled in a microwave. She was thinking that the structure or energy of the water may be compromised by microwave. As it turned out, even she was amazed at the difference, after the experiment which was repeated by her class mates a number of times and had the same result.

   

        

It has been known for some years that the problem with microwaved anything is not the radiation people used to worry about; it's how it corrupts the DNA in the food so the body can not recognize it.

Microwaves don't work different ways on different substances. Whatever you put into the microwave suffers the same destructive process. Microwaves agitate the molecules to move faster and faster. This movement causes friction which denatures the original make-up of the substance. It results in destroyed vitamins, minerals, proteins and generates the new stuff called radiolytic compounds, things that are not found in nature.

So the body wraps it in fat cells to protect itself from the dead food or it eliminates it fast. Think of all the Mothers heating up milk in these 'Safe' appliances. What about the nurse in Canada that warmed up blood for a transfusion patient and accidentally killed him when the blood went in dead. But the makers say it's safe. But proof is in the pictures of living plants dying!!!

This shows that not just food in the microwave is dangerous but even water's structure is altered and does damage...(So it's not safe for boiling water for tea or coffee) - Get an Electric Tea Kettle... it works just as fast & is SAFE!!!

Ten Reasons to dispose off your Microwave Oven

From the conclusions of the Swiss, Russian and German scientific clinical studies, we can no longer ignore the microwave oven sitting in our kitchens. Based on this research, one can conclude this article with the following:

1). Continually eating food processed from a microwave oven causes long term - permanent - brain damage by 'shorting out' electrical impulses in the brain [de-polarizing or de-magnetizing the brain tissue].

2). The human body cannot metabolize [break down] the unknown by-products created in microwaved food.

3). Male and female hormone production is shut down and/or altered by continually eating microwaved foods.

4). The effects of microwaved food by-products are residual [long term, permanent] within the human body.

5). Minerals, vitamins, and nutrients of all microwaved food is reduced or altered so that the human body gets little or no benefit, or the human body absorbs altered compounds that cannot be broken down.

6). The minerals in vegetables are altered into cancerous free radicals when cooked in microwave ovens.

7). Microwaved foods cause stomach and intestinal cancerous growths [tumours]. This may explain the rapidly increased rate of colon cancer in UK and America .

8). The prolonged eating of microwaved foods causes cancerous cells to increase in human blood.

9). Continual ingestion of microwaved food causes immune system deficiencies through lymph gland and blood serum alterations.

10). Eating microwaved food causes loss of memory, concentration, emotional instability, and a decrease of intelligence. 

I pray you throw away your microwave today! 

Cucumbers

Interesting uses for cucumbers beside eating them....

 1. Cucumbers contain most of the vitamins you need every day, just one cucumber contains Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B6, Folic Acid, Vitamin C, Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium and Zinc.

2. Feeling tired in the afternoon, put down the caffeinated soda and pick up a cucumber. Cucumbers are a good source of B Vitamins and Carbohydrates that can provide that quick pick-me-up that can last for hours.

3. Tired of your bathroom mirror fogging up after a shower? Try rubbing a cucumber slice along the mirror, it will eliminate the fog and provide a soothing, spa-like fragrance.

4. Are grubs and slugs ruining your planting beds? Place a few slices in a small pie tin and your garden will be free of pests all season long. The chemicals in the cucumber react with the aluminum to give off a scent undetectable to humans but drive garden pests crazy and make them flee the area.

5. Looking for a fast and easy way to remove cellulite before going out or to the pool? Try rubbing a slice or two of cucumbers along your problem area for a few minutes, the phytochemicals in the cucumber cause the collagen in your skin to tighten, firming up the outer layer and reducing the visibility of cellulite. Works great on wrinkles too!!!

6.. Want to avoid a terrible headache? Eat a few cucumber slices before going to bed and wake up refreshed and headache free. Cucumbers contain enough sugar, B vitamins and electrolytes to replenish essential nutrients the body lost, keeping everything in equilibrium, avoiding a headache!!

7. Looking to fight off that afternoon or evening snacking binge? Cucumbers have been used for centuries and often used by European trappers, traders and explores for quick meals to thwart off starvation.

8. Have an important meeting or job interview and you realize that you don't have enough time to polish your shoes? Rub a freshly cut cucumber over the shoe, its chemicals will provide a quick and durable shine that not only looks great but also repels water.

9. Out of WD 40 and need to fix a squeaky hinge? Take a cucumber slice and rub it along the problematic hinge, and voila, the squeak is gone!

10. Stressed out and don't have time for massage, facial or visit to the spa? Cut up an entire cucumber and place it in a boiling pot of water, the chemicals, and nutrients from the cucumber will react with the boiling water and be released in the steam, creating a soothing, relaxing aroma that has been shown to reduce stress in new mothers and college students during final exams.

11. Just finish a business lunch and realize you don't have gum or mints? Take a slice of cucumber and press it to the roof of your mouth with your tongue for 30 seconds to eliminate bad breath, the phytochemcials will kill the bacteria in your mouth responsible for causing bad breath.

12. Looking for a 'green' way to clean your faucets, sinks, or stainless steel? Take a slice of cucumber and rub it on the surface you want to clean, not only will it remove years of tarnish and bring back the shine, but is won't leave streaks and won't harm your fingers or fingernails while you clean.

13. Using a pen and made a mistake? Take the outside of the cucumber and slowly use it to erase the pen writing, also works great on crayons and markers that the children have used to decorate the walls!!

GARLIC

While it has experienced overwhelming popularity in kitchens throughout the world, garlic bulb extracts may also help calm the stomach, improve circulation, and support healthy cardiovascular function. In fact, more than 250 publications have shown that garlic supports and strengthens the cardiovascular system.

This odorless formula is designed to give you the amazing health benefits of garlic without the offensive odor associated with it.

Interesting FACTS about Garlic:

• April 19th is National Garlic Day.

• Garlic has been used to prevent tick bites.

• The Spanish have long used garlic as a preservative.

• Hippocrates, Aristotle and Pliny cited numerous therapeutic uses for garlic.

• Research has proven that garlic can suppress the growth of unhealthy cells.

• Builders of the ancient pyramids were said to eat garlic daily for enhanced endurance and strength.

• Garlic provides sulfur compounds that are beneficial to the circulatory system and help maintain healthy cholesterol levels.

• Roman emperors couldn’t eat enough garlic, as it was considered an antidote to poisons which were very popular in certain political circles of the time.

• Garlic is regarded as one of the most effective remedies to maintain a normal blood pressure. It also calms the pulse, supports normal heart rhythm, and relieves symptoms such as: dizziness, shortness of breath, and chest pain.

• Recently, researchers have published summaries of some of the positive data on garlic. They found that garlic is able to stimulate T-lymphocyte and macrophage action, promote interleukin-1 levels, and support natural killer cells. Strong activity of these key cells promotes healthy immune system function, and strengthens the body’s defenses.

Hope for Health’s Odorless Garlic can help:

• Support healthy blood pressure & cholesterol levels

• Regulate and improve intestinal health

• Fight and expel parasites and worms

• Maintain a healthy blood sugar level

• Reduce sensitivity to allergens and strengthen the body’s defenses against allergies.

• Boost the immune system by supporting the body’s “natural killer” cells.

Amazing Facts...

• Garlic is considered both a vegetable and an herb and is a member of the lily family.

• Garlic has been used medicinally for thousands of years since ancient Greek and Roman times.

• Garlic contains 17 amino acids. Amino acids are essential to nearly every bodily function, and make up 75% of the human body. Every chemical reaction that takes place in your body depends on amino acids and the proteins that they build.

• Fresh garlic is an excellent source of allicin, a compound that causes blood vessels to open up so they can carry greater amounts of blood and oxygen to the heart.

• There are over 300 varieties of garlic grown worldwide. One of the most common varieties is American garlic, with white, papery skin and strong flavor. Italian and Mexican garlic have a pinkish-purple skins and slightly milder-flavored varieties.

• Compounds found in garlic also help to prevent platelet clumping. In this way, garlic acts as a natural blood thinner. This is why garlic compounds should be used with caution in people who are taking prescription blood thinners or aspirin.
