5 Ways to Promote Positive Mental Health

Positive mental health is a great way to ensure you lead a long, happy and healthy life. Maintaining your mental health is easier than most people think and will have a significant impact on your everyday life.

Would you like to have more energy? What about a good night sleep? How you would like to go an entire year without catching the flu once? Achieving a positive mental health state will not guarantee these things, but it sure will help.

Here are the top 5 things you can do to help promote positive mental health in you and your children:

1. Eat Healthy. Eating fast food 3 times a week and downing a few cold ones before bed might be easier than making a home-cooked meal and more enjoyable than drinking a cold glass of water but it won't do a whole lot for your health. Eating home-cooked foods (especially fruits and vegetables) and staying away from the fast food joints will help you achieve the healthy lifestyle you desire.

2. Drink Lots of Water. To maintain a healthy lifestyle, average individuals are expected to consume at least eight glasses of water a day. And while this seems like it may be a lot, it's actually not. Eight glasses is almost equivalent to filling up your water bottle a few times between waking up and going to bed. Remember, if you work out, you will need to increase your water intake to compensate for the water you're burning off while exercising. Drinking water will detoxify your body and restore it back to a healthy state - especially after drinking coffee or alcoholic beverages.

3. Kick the Bad Habits. We've already mentioned it a few times but eliminating significant alcohol intake will have positive results on your mental health. Likewise, kicking other bad habits like smoking and drinking considerable amounts of coffee will also help keep your mental health at its best.

4. De-Stress. Stress is one of the leading causes for poor mental health. When you're stressed out, your body has to work harder to keep up and, overtime, it will take its toll on your body and your brain. Next time something stressful happens, try lighting some candles and taking a bath. If that doesn't work for you, try letting off some steam by going to the gym or going for a run. Keeping a positive frame of mind will promote positive mental health and eliminate undue stress on your brain.

5. Book Regular Check-ups. Unfortunately, you can do all of the things listed above and still suffer from mental health problems. In fact, you might have a mental illness and not even know it. Make sure you're mental health is in good condition by booking regular appointments with your doctor. He/she will be able to confirm whether you're lifestyle is healthy or identify where you may need to make some changes.

Universal Health Care - Ethical Issues in Health Care Reform

Universal health care seems to be a hotly debated topic whenever health care reform in the United States is discussed. 

Those who maintain that health is an individual responsibility do not want a system that requires them to contribute tax dollars to support fellow citizens who do not act responsibly in protecting or promoting their own health. They argue that they want the freedom to choose their own physicians and treatments, and suggest that government cannot know what is best for them.  These people argue that preserving the current system with improvements to provide better insurance coverage for citizens who remain uninsured or under insured for their medical care needs is the only reform that is needed.

Those who believe health care is an individual right support a universal health care system with the argument that every citizen deserves to have access to the right care at the right time and that a government's responsibility is to protect its citizens, sometimes even from themselves.

Two opposing arguments arising from two opposing ideologies.  Both are good arguments but neither can be the supporting argument for implementing or denying universal health care.  The matter must be resolved through an ethical framework.

Examination of the ethical issues in health care reform would require consideration of much different arguments  than those already presented.   Ethical issues would center on the moral right.  Discussion would begin with not "What is best for me?" but rather  "How should we as a society be acting so that our actions are morally correct?"

Ethics refers to determining right and wrong in how humans relate to one another.  Ethical decision making for health care reform then would require human beings to act in consideration of our relationships to each other not our own individual interests.

Examination of some of the common ethical decision making theories can provide a foundation for a different perspective than one that is solely concerned  with individual rights and freedoms. 

Ethical decision making requires that specific questions be answered in order to decide on whether intended actions are good or morally correct.  Here are some questions that could be used in ethical decision making for health care reform.

What action will bring the most good to the most people?
What action in and of itself is a good act and helps us to fulfill our duties, obligations, and responsibilities to each other?
What action in and of itself shows caring and concern for all citizens?

As the answer to all  these questions, universal health care can always be considered the right thing to do.

The United States is in the most advantageous position there is when it comes to health care reform.  They are the only developed country without a national health care system in place for all citizens.  They have the opportunity to learn from the mistakes that have been made by all the other countries that have already gone down the universal health care road. They have an opportunity to design a system that can shine as a jewel in the crown of universal health care systems everywhere. 

However, all ethical decision making is structured around values.  In order for universal health care to be embraced by all citizens in the United States, they will first have to agree to the collective value of equity and fairness and embrace the goal of meeting their collective responsibility to each other while maintaining individual rights and freedoms. That may prove to be the most difficult obstacle of all.

Does Your Health Insurance Cover Flu Shots?

The flue season is picking up, and if years past have been any indication it is going to be a very tough time on the bodies of many. Do you get a flu shot? If not you may want to consider it to avoid paying the prices that come with getting the flu.

Lost Time

The first thing that you have to keep in mind when it comes to getting the flu is that it will keep you out of work for a few days. If you work for someone else this may not be as big of a concern, but if you work for yourself that means you will not be able to be productive or make money.

Even if you don't work for yourself, it's not only work that loses in this case. Your personal life takes a hit too as you will be too ill to do the things you enjoy.

More Medication

The flu causes you to pick up a lot of things from the pharmacy in an attempt to get through it. From cough syrups to sleep aids and anti-nausea medication, you may rack up a pretty big bill trying to deal with the symptoms of this ailment.

Trips to the Doctor

The flu can get pretty bad. If it does for you that can mean a trip to the doctor's office, or multiple trips. If you have health insurance, you may be able to appreciate that much of this is paid for by the health insurance company. But that does not usually include everything. Most health insurance companies have deductibles you have to pay before they kick in. This will be more money out of your pocket.

Body Impact

Have you ever really considered what the flu does to your body. It's a very violent illness internally, taxing every part of your body. While you will be able to recover after a while, it can have effects that leave you feeling worn down for weeks.

Get the Flu Shot

If you couldn't control the impact of the flu that would be one thing, but you can. Today there are flu shots that can be taken to keep you from getting this illness.

Check if your health insurance policy covers getting the flu shot. Many health insurance companies cover them because they realize they will pay much less for prevention than they would to treat the flu once you get it.

Even if they don't you may want to put out the money to get a flu shot. Even if it is your expense, prevention is much more affordable than paying for the treatment once you are sick.

Natural Health - Best Kept Secret For Common Colds and Flu

The expression "There is no cure for the common cold!" is a popular phrase because most colds and flus are viral infections; they are not bacterial infections. Antibiotics work only on bacterial infections. Antibiotics are not effective against viral infections. And antibiotics are really the only arsenal that conventional medicine has for infections. (Well there are a few anti-viral meds that are extremely toxic to the liver and thank goodness docs don't prescribe frequently).

So consequently, the expression "There is no cure for the common cold" has become a popular *meme.

(*Definition of meme = phrase used to describe a catchphrase or concept that spreads quickly from person to person - like a virus - ha ha!)

If a cure were to indicate healing of the problem and an eradication of symptoms, then medicine has yet to discover the best kept secret (that many of you know!) which is right under their nose (literally).

Essential Oils.

Essential oils come from a variety of plants that have many amazing healing properties which include naturally fighting viruses.

My intention here is to write only about 'therapeutic grade essential oils, not perfume grade oils that you mostly find in stores and also promoted through the English Model of Aromatherapy).

When used, essential oils create an environment where pathogenic organisms like viruses, fungus and other bad bacteria and flu-bugs (yes, maybe even the swine flu) cannot survive.

If you already know about using essential oils for keeping your immune system up and protecting you against infection, then I am here to tell you that you are an extremely empowered and fortunate individual who has a gift of this special knowledge. And if you have access to an excellent resource of essential oils - then you are in a better position than millions of other people who have to rely an unfortunate false belief that there is "no cure for the common cold".

In my humble opinion the best essential oils that you can get on this earth are Young Living Essential Oils.

I personally have had the experience of having the flu that the YL oils have helped and I've also had experiences with other stubborn viruses (like Shingles) and have used Young Living Oils which stopped a painful flare-up (within 24 hours). Ravensara is what I used for my shingles - and I was so excited to hear a world authority in therapeutic aromatherapy Kurt Schnaubelt present on stage last week at the YLEO 2009 Convention that ravensara is indicated for shingles!

There is tremendous fear about the oncoming flu season - and so many questions about the Swine Flu - if it is as bad as they are saying - and even questions about the side effects of the vaccination (which personally I would never take).

If you are armed with an array of the Young Living Essential Oils, and take other natural preventative measures to keep your immune system strong - then you have ownership of the best kept secret to fight colds and the flu.

Here's to a healthy winter season free of colds and flu!

Herbs For Colon Health

Many people are under the impression that a colonoscopy can detect ALL colon problems, however, this is not true at all. A colonoscopy only examines the large intestines, not the small intestines or the stomach cavity. A colonoscopy is a medical test performed by a licensed medical doctor to screen their patients who are fifty years old or more for colon cancer.

A colonoscopy may not pick up on Crohn's disease found in the small intestine or diverticulosis also not detected by colonoscopy but generally found through a barium enema test. In the US, half of all people over the age of 50 have some diverticulosis of the colon and nearly all people over age 80, have diverticulosis.

What is diverticulosis? Pouches that form in the colon wall and do not cause symptoms. Not to be confused with diverticulitis, a painful diverticular disease that causes diarrhea, abdominal pain and cramping.

Interestingly, diverticulosis first began to present in the early 1900's when mass marketing of processed foods originated. Now it is becoming increasingly common as a result of the American processed food eating habits.

Normally, if you have a diet with sufficient fiber or roughage, you will produce stool that is bulky and can move easily through the colon. It is in every adults best interest to eat more whole grains, fruits and leafy green vegeatbles for their colon health. What are you to do if you show signs of colon toxicity? Herbal treatments and supplements may just be the answer.

Taking herbs to heal the bowel from toxicity before the condition worsens and possibly produces a serious disease is an important remedy to consider. Some people may have diverticulosis for years without even knowing it until the bowel pockets become inflamed and irritated causing diverticulitis.

It is important to use herbal supplements with only high quality herbs because poorly formulated products can cause further intestinal irritation and inflammation. Look for the Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) seal on products, so you can be sure the lab that manufactured the supplement has followed GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) guidelines established by the Food and Drug Administration. Furthermore the seal ensures that the company adheres to recognized standards in the manufacturing process related to the facilities grounds, building and equipment; pest control; employee practices; receiving, storage and shipping; plant sanitation; and processing.

Co-Clean colon cleansing supplements have the GMP seal. Take two tablets nightly for no longer than four weeks time. This should be ample time to purge the toxins from your body and to heal the bowel from toxicity

But the good news is that Skin Cancer is considered the easiest form of cancer and you can overcome it by spotting it in time.

There are two forms of Skin Cancer, melanomas and non-melanomas. Melanomas usually account for only four percent of diagnosed skin cancers, and it occurs in the epidermis, the skin's outer layer, usually appearing as a dark mole with uneven edges but they are considered to be the most deadly. Non-melanomas, on the other hand, are comprised of two different cell types, basal cells and squamous cells. Both of these cells are caused from sun exposure.

Skin cancer symptoms vary from individual to individual as to which chemical, or substance causes allergic reactions. The tumor in the epidermis, caused by skin cancer, is always clearly visible, making diagnosis slightly easier than in other cases of cancer. Skin Cancer patient may encounter Rough and scaly patches on the skin, A sore or spot that bleeds or become crusty, a small lump that is shiny, waxy, pale in color, and smooth in texture.

Children and people with fair skin need to be using a higher protection factor than other people Skin protection doesn't mean to avoid sun forever, but you have to be reasonable and be careful while dealing with the sun.

Health Advantages of Supergreens - Part II

When it comes to staying healthy, I advise my patients to shop in the produce section of their local supermarket. There they will find all the vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients that protect and repair cells from damage caused by free radicals. It is believed that veggies hold the key to keeping your immune system strong along with immune-boosting antioxidants necessary to ward off infections like colds and flu.

Adding more fruits and vegetables to your diet is always a safe bet when it comes to improving your health. However, some foods are higher in antioxidants than others, especially those in the supergreens category. In the first article on the health advantages of supergreens, I explored the protective ingredients contained in green, leafy and cruciferous vegetables as well as the effect they have on your body.

Research has been going on for years to substantiate the effect green foods have on the human body. Supportive evidence of their benefit stems from a combination of anecdotal reports, small clinical trials, and laboratory studies. I'd like to share some of the outstanding findings that substantiate the theory of why greens are indeed super and why they are so often recommended for their anti-aging properties.

The Proof is in the Research

There are several green foods in particular that studies have shown to be miraculous for their healing qualities, chlorophyll, spirulina, and wheatgrass. Cholorella is unicellular green algae that is a popular food in Japan and has been for decades. It is found in many green veggies and is rich in protein, chlorophyll, and cartenoids. Chloroella not only nourishes the body and helps protect it from damaging chemicals but it has been found to protect against gamma-radiation as well as the adverse effects of toxic chemicals.

In a recent clinical trial, some patients with moderately severe symptoms of fibromyalgia improved significantly on a daily dose of chlorella supplements. Other studies suggest that chlorella reduces dioxin levels in breast milk, improves digestion, and helps treat hypertension. Korean researchers found that lutein and zeaxanthin (contained in chlorella) have a strong antitumor effect, especially in colon cancer.

Chlorophyll is another hot topic researched by medical experts who have reported hundreds of cases in which it has cured deep infections, stimulated healing, removed debris from open wounds, and accelerated connective tissue repair.

One very unique feature of chlorophyll is its similarity to hemoglobin, the compound that carries oxygen in our own blood. Dr. Yoshihide Hagiwara, president of the Hagiwara Institute in Japan, is a leading advocate for the use of grass as food and medicine. He believes that when chlorophyll is absorbed in humans it is transformed into human blood, which transports nutrients to every cell of the body.

Dr. Ann Wigmore, ND, a teacher of natural living has made wheatgrass a household word. Dr. Wigmore credits wheatgrass and the healing qualities of chlorophyll with curing her colon cancer. Due to Wigmore's endless writing and teaching, many consider wheatgrass a cure for cancer and chronic fatigue syndrome. It has also been shown to be a treatment for detoxifying the liver, purifying the blood, neutralizing pollutants, improving energy and circulation, and slowing aging.

Studies of wheatgrass by Dr. Chiu Nan Lai of the University of Texas System Cancer Center showed it to be a potent inhibitor of several carcinogens. Applying low levels of the extract to mutagens diminished activity in them by up to 99%.

Spirulina is blue-green algae that studies show has antiviral, immune supporting, and liver protecting qualities. Some other amazing properties of spirulina include helping to lower cholesterol, prevent inflammation, lower blood sugar, fight bacterial and viral infections, and contain antidepressant qualities.

Another important aspect of spirulina is its ability to remove toxins such as mercury, and radioactive substances from the body. Chlorella contains proteins and peptides that actually binds toxic metals and carries them out of the body making it even more beneficial for detoxification. The healing qualities of both of these greens cannot be underestimated! They are loaded with vitamins, minerals, proteins and fats, which work together to provide energy and vitality as well.

Dr. Lawrence Gibson, MD, Mayo Clinic dermatologist touts the effects of green, leafy vegetables for a younger looking skin. He advocates the use of green food supplements to promote clear skin and gain more energy due to their antioxidant properties. When applied to the skin directly it can help eliminate itching and is soothing for cuts, burns, scrapes, rashes, poison ivy, athlete's foot, insect bites, and many other skin conditions.

Antioxidants Boost Immunity

Foods contain different nutrients that work together to strengthen your immune system and promote health. Researchers have discovered three important antioxidants found in vegetables that are known for their health benefits.

• Quercetin - a plant based chemical (photochemical) found in teas that fights inflammation and may help reduce allergies.

• Luteolin - a flavonoid found in abundance in celery and green peppers that also fights inflammation. One study showed evidence that it may even help protect against inflammatory conditions like Alzheimer's.

• Catechins - a type of flavonoid found in tea that may help reduce the risk of heart disease, cancer, and Alzheimer's.

As you can see there is no shortage of research on the subject of supergreens. If you can't get enough of these wonder greens from eating fresh produce, try looking into taking dietary supplements. Make sure you read the label for the right ingredients and check with your doctor for the recommended dietary allowance (RDA) of antioxidant vitamins and minerals for men and women.

Next time you're in the grocery store don't pass up those miraculous supergreens. They could be the answer to your good health and vitality for many years to come!
