Speaking of normalising or celebrating obesity…. The feeding begins @ 6.20 in.
There are so many things wrong with this video that it is difficult to know where to begin. It is visually and viscerally disturbing.
You’ve got to Walk the Walk
The Most Ancient Exercise is now the Most Modern Medicine
Change Your Walking Habits: Change Your Life
Exercise, if you could put it in a pill it would be demanded by patients, prescribed by every doctor and subsidised by governments. Its health benefits are far-reaching and almost too good to be true. Yet, in the most recent report by the Australian Institute of Heath and Welfare, less than 46% of adults are achieving the recommended level of activity.
Ibuprofen (Nurofen) Can Inhibit Ovulation
Inflammation is part of the body’s innate intelligence, a method by which damage is repaired. Unfortunately when this gets painful, it can be difficult for some people to let the body heal itself unaided so they reach for the drugs. Can’t blame anyone for this – as you have been aggressively marketed to for generations now.
NSAID’s can do the job, they may dull the pain. However, this fast relief comes at a cost.
Raised liver enzymes, diarrhoea, headaches, dizziness, salt and fluid retention and high blood pressure are only a few of the numerous side effects that come with use of NSAID’s.
Does Prolonged Antibiotic Use Kill Brain Cells?
Gone are the days where prolonged antibiotic use is without healthy scrutiny. Even in allopathic circles, there appears to be hesitation when it comes to prescribing antibiotics unnecessarily.
However, the potential adverse effects that can be tied up with such use are still being revealed. A new study published in the Journal Cell Reports notes a new concern to add to that file.
Core Strength and Back Pain
It is important to have an understanding of the ‘core’ muscles and their function in core stability.
The ‘Core’ muscles develop what we call the powerhouse, essentially consisting of a ‘box’ of muscles. Ensuring correct posture is executed during exercises and movements will assist in strengthening core muscles.
Exercise; specifically core exercises are often a forgotten or misunderstood treatment for lower back pain. These muscles support and brace the spine during movement. Therefore, strengthening them can help to prevent further flare ups and allow distal muscles like the hamstrings, to work more efficiently.
Time to Reculture the Bowel
Proper levels of good bacteria promote intestinal health, good immune function, and support overall health.
Excess bacteria, or the presence of harmful bacteria, yeast, or “parasites” such as amoebas and protozoas, can cause “leaky gut,” systemic inflammation, and a wide range of clinical problems.
Intestinal flora can become imbalanced by poor diets, excess stress, immunosuppressive drugs, antibiotics, or exposure to contaminated food or water, all of which are common with today’s diets.
