1) 6 BENEFITS OF LIVER CLEANSING
By Dr. Edward Group, DC, NP, DACBN, DCBCN, DABFM

Your liver is responsible for processing toxins in the body, so you’ll want to keep it working at its best. Sometimes, though, diet or lifestyle can catch up to us, and, if that happens, a liver cleanse becomes necessary. With a cleanse, you’ll certainly get rid of all that toxic buildup, but there are lots of other perks as well.

6 Benefits of Liver Cleansing

Many people disregard liver cleansing, but there are some benefits associated with the practice. Not only does it jump start a healthy eating program, it may also help you lose weight. Just what can liver cleansing do for you? Well, here are just 6 pretty great benefits.

1. Weight Loss

Your liver produces bile, which the digestive systems use to break down fat. And since liver cleansing promotes bile production, detoxing your liver might be just the place to start if you want to lose weight.

2. Immune System Support

Since the liver reduces toxins, among other things, it makes sense that a healthy liver is crucial to a strong immune system. Cleansing your liver could even give your immune system a boost.

3. Discourages Liver Stones

Liver stones, a product of diet, form because of too much cholesterol. The extra cholesterol makes bile harden into tiny stones that can block the liver and gall bladder; you could even have up to 200 to 300 of these affecting your liver’s ability to detox. When you cleanse, though, somewhere between 100 to 300 of the stones could actually be purged from your body.

4. Supports Whole Body Detox

Since the liver removes toxins, turning them into harmless byproducts, there are usually small amounts of toxins in your liver. This is generally not a problem. Issues start, however, when there’s a buildup of too many toxins. That’s when you need to detox in order to get your liver working exactly as it should.

5. Boosts Energy

Some of the harmless byproducts the liver makes are actually nutrients the body will use. Whether from liver stones or too much toxic build up, some of those nutrients simply won’t make it back into the bloodstream. When that happens, your energy levels will likely drop, so liver cleansing will make you feel better because not only will you have all of your nutrients—but also all of your energy.

6. Increases Vitality

Remember that by cleansing the liver, you’re restoring it to peak efficiency. Reducing all that toxic buildup will make your skin look brighter and healthier. And since promoting bile production helps with fat breakdown, you’ll also tone your body easier and could even look and feel at least five years younger!

If you’re ready to make a change for the better, a liver cleanse might be a great start. You can get the full liver cleanse instructions right here. If you’ve performed a liver cleanse before, leave a comment below and let us know what difference it made for you!

2) AMAZING HEALTH BENEFITS OF GINGER
by Divya Manasa

Ginger is among the healthiest and most delicious spices on the planet. Ginger has a very  traditional/alternative medicine values. It has been used to help digestion, reduce nausea and help fight the flu and common cold. It can be used fresh, dried, powdered, or as an oil or juice, and is sometimes added to processed foods and cosmetics also.

One of the traditional uses of ginger is for pain relief, including menstrual pain.There are several health benifits of Ginger.

1.Ginger helps with  Weight Loss

This root is used as a slimming formula because its properties promote weight loss.  Not only does it improve digestive functions but it also has a “thermogenic” effect that helps activate the metabolism, making it a potent fat and calorie-burner.Consuming Ginger Tea daily may helps you to have perfect metabolism.

2.Helps Digestion 

The  medicinal values of ginger are known to help relieve gastrointestinal irritation, stimulate saliva and bile production and suppress gastric contractions and movement of food and fluids through the GI tract.

3.Act as Anti Cancer Agent

The main active components in ginger and the ones responsible for its distinctive flavor, may also inhibit the growth of human colorectal cancer cells.Ginger extract has been studied as an alternative treatment for several forms of cancers.

4.Cure Migraines

Ginger provides migraine relief as it can inhibit the prostaglandins from causing pain and inflammation in the blood vessels. Applying diluted ginger paste on the forehead provides relief from migraine.Drinking ginger tea at the onset of a migraine attack stifles prostaglandins to block the unbearable pain, and stop the associated nausea and dizziness.

5.Manages Glucose Levels

Regular intake of ginger root supplements in any form can bring a noticeable change in your levels of blood sugar. People who are more prone to low sugar levels should always incorporate ginger root supplements in their regular diet to avoid such problems. Ginger has been found to be effective in reducing the incidence of diabetic nephropathy (kidney damage).

6.Helps For Hair Growth

Ginger increases the scalp circulation, resulting in the flow of blood to the scalp. Thus, it stimulates the hair follicles and encourages growth. The fatty acids present in ginger are beneficial for thin hair. You can make a hair mask by grating 1 tablespoon of ginger root in a small bowl and adding 1 tablespoon of jojoba oil to it. Massage your scalp with this mixture in circular motions and leave for 30 minutes or longer. Rinse off and shampoo as usual. This will combat hair loss and thinning hair and stimulate hair growth.

7.Purifies Blood

Ginger also helps purifying Blood.Drinking Ginger Tea daily helps to purify blood.It also Ginger reduces high blood pressure and chronic inflammation.

8.Treat Cold and Coughs

Ginger is a wonderful immune system booster, making it a well-known treatment for colds and flu. And since it helps calm symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection, it also works on coughs, sore throats and bronchitis.

3) MEDITATION CHANGES GENE EXPRESSION, STUDY SHOWS
by Belinda Weber

Practitioners have been attesting to it for years, and now medical science is waking up to the idea that meditation really does have health benefits. A new study, published in the journal Psychoneuroendocrinology, has discovered specific molecular changes in the body after a period of mindful meditation.

Meditation is not new - with its roots in prehistory, it almost certainly predates the science that now endorses it. History shows that its practice was adopted by Eastern cultures thousands of years ago, with ancient Indian scriptures dating from 5,000 years ago detailing techniques. But it is a relative newcomer to the West.

For the study, researchers compared the effects of a day of intensive mindful- meditation in a group of experienced meditators with a group of untrained subjects who enjoyed a day of quiet, non-meditative activities.

After 8 hours, the meditators showed a range of genetic and molecular differences, including reduced levels of pro-inflammatory genes. This correlates with faster physical recovery from a stressful situation.

The researchers, from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the Institute of Biomedical Research of Barcelona, Spain, believe this is the first study to find a relationship between meditation and gene expression.

Dr. Richard J. Davidson, founder of the Center for Investigating Healthy Minds, explains:
"To the best of our knowledge, this is the first paper that shows rapid alterations in gene expression within subjects associated with mindfulness meditation practice."

Mindfulness practice affected certain regulatory pathways

Molecular analysis showed that the pro-inflammatory genes RIPK2 and COX2 were affected, together with several histone deacetylase (HDAC) genes, which control the activity of other genes by removing a chemical tag.

Moreover, the results showed that the extent to which some of the genes were down-regulated was associated with faster cortisol recovery to a social stress test, where participants were challenged to make an impromptu speech or complete mental calculations in front of an audience.

The researchers point out that there were no differences in the tested genes at the start of the study and that the observed effects were only seen in the meditators following mindfulness practice.

The authors also note that several other DNA-modifying genes showed no differences between groups, suggesting that mindfulness practice affected only certain regulatory pathways.

Perla Kaliman, researcher at the Institute of Biomedical Research of Barcelona and first author of the study, says:

"The regulation of HDACs and inflammatory pathways may represent some of the mechanisms underlying the therapeutic potential of mindfulness-based interventions. Our findings set the foundation for future studies to further assess meditation strategies for the treatment of chronic inflammatory conditions."

The authors claim that the genetic changes experienced by the meditators prove that mindfulness practice can lead to epigenetic alterations of the genome.

Dr. Davidson concludes:

"Our genes are quite dynamic in their expression and these results suggest that the calmness of our mind can actually have a potential influence on their expression."

Meditation is gaining advocates among the medical community, with research showing its benefits for Alzheimer's patients and sufferers of chronic inflammation.
