1) SCIENCE AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE AGREE: IT'S PROBABLY TIME YOU TRY ACUPUNCTURE

The precise chronological origin of acupuncture as a medical procedure is unknown, but it’s thought to date back to as many as 3,000 years ago, in ancient China. Today it’s popular all around the world as a natural treatment for a variety of disorders and discomforts.

In its ancient form, the process, which involves inserting thin needles into specific areas of musculature, was based on the idea that energy imbalances in the body were the root cause of illness. While that may be true in the broadest sense, modern practitioners tend to think of acupuncture as less of a mystical intervention and more as a way of subtly stimulating the body’s nervous system.

What can it do?

The efficacy of acupuncture depends on a number of different factors. A person’s unique biological makeup, medical history, and current symptoms can affect this. The procedure can alleviate the symptoms of a wide range of health problems. Among these are migraines and other headaches; arthritis and tendinitis; chronic fatigue; respiratory illnesses; skin conditions; digestive problems; and even sleep disorders.

In fact, a scientific review in the latest edition of Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine provided the results of a meta-analysis of nine studies with a total of 944 patients, which looked at using acupuncture to treat chronic pain-related insomnia (CPRI). The authors concluded that acupuncture was not only a safe treatment for CPRI but a highly effective one.

Who is getting it?

Some Western physicians do remain skeptical. The National Institutes of Health formally recognize it as a viable treatment option for general and chronic pain.

Hospitals and other healthcare facilities are going alternative, too. A survey conducted by the American Hospital Association indicated that at least 42 percent of U.S. hospitals offer at least one form of alternative treatment. These 80 facilities in the U.S. and U.K. specifically provide acupuncture.

What’s the future of acupuncture?

More than ten million acupuncture treatments are already being administered annually in the U.S. As acupuncture grows popular in our healthcare system more and more, we’ll continue to discover new uses for it. For example, researchers are now exploring using acupuncture as a complementary cancer treatment, since it has been shown to reduce both cancer-related pain and chemotherapy-induced nausea in humans as well as mice.

It’s one of the most prevalent forms of complementary and alternative medicine on the market and acupuncture bridges the gap between evidence-based medicine and “fringe” healthcare. Individuals should know that regardless of what stigmas may persist in the field of alternative medicine, acupuncture really does work — “pointedly” so.

2) BEST FOODS FOR YOUR EYES

Research suggests that a healthy and nutritive diet reduces the risk of cataracts and macular damage. When the body gets its essential dose of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients, the body system functions better. For eye health, some specific antioxidants prevent glaucoma, blindness, impaired vision, etc. Omega-3 fatty acids found in nuts, seeds, olive oil, fish, fruits, etc, for instance, fight against the dry eye syndrome and prevent macular damage.

If you have vision problem, resort to wearing good brands like solotica colored contacts for a better outlook and better vision. But nothing beats the natural healing process of the body with healthy nutrition. Maintaining nutrition brings essential vitamins and minerals for the cornea, retina and optic nerve to help them work better. Here are some of the best food for your eyes to stay healthy and avoid the risk of cataracts.

Fish

Fish is a rich source for omega-3 fatty acids. The omega-3 fatty acids are responsible for fighting dry eye syndrome. The tension caused to the eye due to daily use of gadgets like computers, mobile phones, etc makes the dry eye a lifestyle occurrence today. Consumption of fish, particularly the tuna, salmon, trout, mackerel, sardines, herring, etc, helps get the essential fatty acids that help the eye stay hydrated and healthy.

Nuts

Nuts rich in Vitamin E like walnuts, cashews, peanuts, brazil nuts, etc strengthens the eye muscles and prevents them from any damage. It keeps the muscles optimized and hydrates the pupils for maximum cleansing of the eye. A diet rich in nuts also entails a high dose of omega-3 fatty acids thereby keeping the eye hydrated.

Citrus fruits

Citrus fruits contain natural antioxidants and are rich in Vitamin C. Vitamin C is an essential component of the aqueous humor found in the outermost part of the eye. This liquid is responsible for constant cleansing of the eye, healing the eye and prevention from any bacteria or germ buildup. Vitamin C deficiency is also common to cataract patients which is why they are often recommended supplements. Maintaining a diet rich in citrus fruits like lemon, oranges, grapefruits, etc loads up on the Vitamin C and antioxidants helps in keeping the aqueous humor nutrition. If you are going for diet, then citrus fruits helps to loss quickly. Taking lemon with hot water and honey early in the morning will helps you even in quicker. Cucumber also helps here.

 Green Leafy Vegetables

Green Leafy vegetables are rich in lutein and zeaxanthin, also called the carotenoid antioxidants. Apart from being a fibrous and rich source of Vitamin K, the green leafy vegetables nourish the macula – the central layer of light-sensitive cells on the back wall of the eyeball and an important part of the retina. The macula defends the blue light and prevents the eye from impaired vision, blindness, etc. Consuming spinach, kale, green peas, pistachios, amaranth leaves, etc helps get the essential nutrition in check! Consuming green leafy vegetables will give enough proteins, iron, calcium to body. Even if you avoid meat or flesh, this green leafy vegetables helps you more.

Carrots and sweet potatoes

Carrots have often been called the food for the eye. This is because it contains beta carotene and Vitamin A. These nutrients are responsible for the production of rhodopsin in the body – an essential protein for the retina to absorb light. Munching on carrots and sweet potatoes doesn’t just nourish the retina for clear vision but also lends Vitamin A. Most of the patients suffering from blindness are found to have Vitamin A deficiency.

Water

It is quite obvious that water is an essential nutrient for life. Dehydration can attract several diseases including impaired vision, dry eyes, etc. It isn't just necessary to drink enough fluids to keep the body hydrated but washing eyes with water are also recommended twice a day to soothe the eyes and remove any dust and dirt.

Eating a nutritive diet is the first step to eye care. Also consult your doctor to get your eyes checked, make sure that you wear credible brands like dailies total 1 if you have a vision problem. With a balanced and healthy diet, one can prevent the risk of cataract and many other eye problems that may arise with age.

3) TIPS FOR SUPPORTING YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM AND PREVENTING THE FLU NATURALLY
 by Dr. Kenneth Hoffman, DACM, L.Ac.

You cannot always avoid getting sick. In fact, its nature’s way of building the immune system.  So try to avoid the flu and if you do get it, just take care of your self - properly.

1. Wash Your Hands Frequently and Thoroughly

This is the number one way to prevent the flu and other respiratory infections. You must scrub your hands thoroughly with soap and water for at least 20 seconds in order to kill viruses. Twenty seconds is about how long it takes to sing the ABC’s one time through. Do not touch your eyes, nose, or mouth without first washing your hands.

 2. Take Care of Digestion

80% of your immune system is located in your gut. According to Chinese Medicine, “The Middle Jiao is the Seat of Health”. Increase fermented foods or take a probiotic. This will keep your levels of good gut bacteria up to help fight off infections.

 3. Reduce Alcohol and Sugar Consumption

Even moderate alcohol consumption suppresses the central nervous system, and therefore your immune system. Consuming too much sugar can suppress the immune system and make it more difficult for your body to fight off infections like the flu. It has been well studied that even 1 teaspoon of sugar can suppress white blood cells for up to 6 hours.

4. Reduce Your Stress

Stress is known to suppress our immune systems. Consider meditation, yoga, and acupuncture. 

 5. Get 7-9 Hours of Sleep Every Night

Your body relies on sleep to recuperate from daily exposure to toxins. Chronic sleep deprivation can significantly reduce immune function. Get more sleep if you need it.

6. Increase your Antioxidants

Antioxidants are very important for your immune function. JuicePlus+ has been clinically proven to significantly increase antioxidant levels. Curcumin is the orange pigment in turmeric and a potent antioxidant that improves joint health and cardiovascular function. Vitamin C provides potent antioxidant protection, and supports optimal immune function

7. Get Plenty of Exercise

Exercise can boost your immune system by increasing your circulation and relieving stress. Increased circulation allows antibodies to travel throughout your bloodstream faster, making it easier for your immune system to fight off an illness. Exercise can also enhance your immune system by relieving stress and slowing the release of stress hormones in the body. Just remember, excess exercise, meaning high aerobic activity, can suppress the immune system so if you are feeling like something is coming, go easy.

Vitamin D3 drops – Dose: 1 drop per day

Vitamin D supercharges the immune cells and has been clinically studied and validated for the reduction of upper respiratory infections. Optimal blood levels are important for your immune system.

Probiotic Complete (Probiotic) – Dose: 1 capsule per day

 A unique probiotic formula designed to deliver active organisms shown to promote healthy gut microflora, protect intestinal integrity and boost immune function. Each capsule provides seven proven probiotic strains chosen for their ability to withstand the harsh gastro- intestinal environment and adhere to the intestinal tract to deliver superior results.
