Lower Your Salt Intake? Fugetaboutit! « Dr. Brownstein Folks, I have written to you many times about the benefits of unrefined salt. Human beings are designed to desire and utilize salt on a daily basis. We can’t live without salt. Remember, we have no stores of salt in our bodies. Either we ingest adequate amounts of salt on a daily basis or we become salt deficient. Let’s get a few salt numbers straight. A new article in the New England Journal of Medicine (August 14, 2014) studied the sodium levels in 101,945 persons from 17 countries. Over a mean follow-up of 3.7 years, the authors found that those with the lowest sodium excretion (less than 3 grams of sodium per day or ½ teaspoon of salt) had the highest rate of death or cardiovascular events—4.3%. This article is another in a long-line of salt articles debunking the myth that we need to lower our salt intake. Salt is a vital, essential substance that we cannot live without. Unrefined salt should be the salt of choice. Should you lower your salt intake to control blood pressure?
What do you think of self sufficient living? - Survival Food Gear Self Sufficient Living During a disaster, you may only have yourself to rely on and if you have not gained self sufficient living skills before disaster strikes, you may not be able to take care of yourself in the days after. Government, to include local, state and federal will be in disarray for the first few days and even longer in some cases. It can be weeks before disaster relief agencies reach your area. You pay for utilities so you are not necessarily considered reliant on someone else because you do work and pay for your water, electrical, trash pickup and gas services. In modern society, services are offered to municipalities as a whole and it is up to you whether you want to participate by purchasing those services. Less Dependence on Your Current Food Source Food is always a priority regardless of the situation. Hybrid seeds came about because of the great dust bowl in the Midwestern United States in the 1930′s. Water Without water, you cannot survive. Energy Source
procrastination 16 Things I Wish They Had Taught Me in School I am 28 now. I don’t think about the past or regret things much these days. But sometimes I wish that I had known some of things I have learned over the last few years a bit earlier. Because some of these 16 things in this article a teacher probably spoke about in class. Some of it would probably not have stuck in my mind anyway. But I still think that taking a few hours from all those German language classes and use them for some personal development classes would have been a good idea. So here are 16 things I wish they had taught me in school (or I just would like to have known about earlier). 1. This is one of the best ways to make better use of your time. So a lot of what you do is probably not as useful or even necessary to do as you may think. You can just drop – or vastly decrease the time you spend on – a whole bunch of things. And if you do that you will have more time and energy to spend on those things that really brings your value, happiness, fulfilment and so on. 2. 3. 4. 5.

New Study: Exercise positively influences over 4,000 genes (NaturalHealth365) This is a wake-up call for all Americans. Current research, produced by the President’s Council on Fitness, Sports & Nutrition, reveals that less than 5% of the U.S. adult population participate in 30 minutes of physical activity per day. And, for children, it’s far worse thanks to wireless technology and all these computer gadgets – which have kids spending around 7 hours per day on computer screens, cell phones and T.V.’s. To stop disease – we’ve got to get physical. Researchers have long been trying to understand the connections between exercise and disease risk. The study reveals that regular exercise has a direct and positive influence on more than 4,000 genes, and inactivity has a negative effect on those same genes. Epigenetics help modulate processes within the body. Researchers at the Karolinska Institutet studied epigenetic methylation in healthy adults before and after completing a three-month endurance training program.

productivité 7 Smart Ways to Deal with Toxic People Don’t let toxic people rent space in your head. Raise the rent and get them out of there. Surviving the ups, downs, and lightning storms of other people’s moodiness can be quite a challenge. But there’s another type of moody, negative behavior: that of the toxic bully, who will use his or her mood swings to intimidate and manipulate. I’m a firm believer that toxic mood swings (like chain letter emails) should not be inflicted on one person by another, under any circumstances. 1. If you know someone who insists on destructively dictating the emotional atmosphere, then be clear: they are toxic. When you delete toxic people from your environment it becomes a lot easier to breathe. A healthy relationship is reciprocal; it should be give and take, but not in the sense that you’re always giving and they’re always taking. 2. Constant drama and negativity is never worth putting up with. 3. Stand up for yourself. “I’ve noticed you seem angry. Even if they say: “What do you mean?” 4. 5. 6. 7.
