Natural Acne Treatments & Foods to Avoid

Acne is caused by the inability of the body to rid itself of wastes through normal, healthy elimination methods (typically the liver and kidneys). This internal imbalance results in a “blockage” which the body responds to by forcing the wastes through the skin, and more specifically through the sebum of sebaceous glands that are located beneath the skin.

How to Raise Good Cholesterol (HDL) Levels

In the past, it was common advice to lower your cholesterol level in order to avoid the risk of coronary heart diseases. But a shift has taken place and the approach turned to raising high-density lipoprotein (HDL) or “good” cholesterol to combat low-density lipoprotein (LDL) or “bad” cholesterol. To do this, however, a change in lifestyle is essential. Read more

Cholesterol Reducing Foods

If you have high cholesterol level in your bloodstream, altering your diet to include food that reduces cholesterol is recommended. Consider these cholesterol reducing foods on your next trip to the grocery.

Fresh fruit and vegetables. Fresh fruits like apricots, berries, apples, pears and vegetables like carrots, cabbage, and sweet potatoes are high in soluble fiber so they can effectively reduce your LDL levels. Five servings a day is considered ideal.

Oats. Oatmeal and oat bran are also excellent source of soluble fiber. 1 ½ cups of cooked oatmeal is recommended; more so if combined with fruits like banana.

Walnuts and almonds. Although high in calories, these nuts are said to lower LDL levels according to studies. A maximum of 2 ounces or 57 grams in your diet is enough to reduce bad cholesterol.
Fish. A diet of at least two servings of fish in one week is recommended to reduce LDL levels for its high levels of omega-3 fatty acids.

Olive oil and other oils. Approximately 2 tablespoons or 23 grams of olive oil daily can reduce bad cholesterol; even more so if extra-virgin olive oil is used. Other oils such as canola, avocado, peanut, soy and corn are also recommended.

Sterols or stanols fortified food. Food fortified with sterols or stanols such as margarines, orange juice as well as yogurt keep bad cholesterols from being absorbed in our body. At least 2 grams of plant sterols a day, however, is necessary to see results.

Eliminating trans fat from your diet is not the only way to reduce bad cholesterol. Eating the right (cholesterol reducing foods) will also provide great results.

Natural Cures and Treatments for Eczema

Eczema, also known as dermatitis, is an allergic skin irritation that results from the body’s inability to expel toxins through normal, healthy elimination methods (typically the liver and kidneys). The result is the body’s use of the skin to rid the body of the toxins resulting in the skin irritation that is referred to as eczema. Eczema patients often experience burning, itching and cracking of the skin.

Treatments

Due to the fact that eczema represents an internal imbalance in its patient, treatments using natural cures focus solely on the symptoms of each individual. In effect, eczema cures aim to boost the body’s immune system, relieving symptoms, and thus eliminating the eczema itself.

Foods to Avoid

As always, a healthy diet consisting of fruits and vegetables are recommended to improve the body’s health. In general, lowering the acidic levels of the body are recommended, and foods that are highly acidic should be avoided. Starches should also be removed completely from the diet.

Skin Care

Since eczema is the outward representation of an internal imbalance, it is not recommended that creams be used as they generally suppress (drive inward) the toxins the body is attempting to expel. In certain instance, natural, topical remedies will be used by those who specialize in treating eczema naturally.

Decrease Your LDL Cholesterol Level The ‘Smart’ Way

Although most shiver at the word cholesterol or at the thought of having cholesterol, the truth is that every healthy person has some level of cholesterol in their body. Cholesterol is the fat-like substance that is found in foods produced by animals (think eggs, milk and meat), and in order for the body to function properly; it must have the proper amount of cholesterol present. The problem with cholesterol isn’t its presence in the body, problems arise when there is more cholesterol present than the body needs.

Cholesterol (fat) travels through the body by attaching itself to proteins. It is this protein-cholesterol combo (called a lipoprotein) that defines the healthiness of a person as it relates to the amount of cholesterol present in relation to the amount of protein present. The classification is as follows:

low density liproproteins (LDL) / very low density liproproteins (VLDL) – LDL and VLDL are both bad cholesterols, as the amount of fat outnumbers the amount of protein in the blood. This often leads to a plaque buildup on artery walls.

high density liproproteins (HDL) HDL is good cholesterol as the strong protein amount helps the blood rid itself of bad cholesterol.

Healing Through Healthy Living

By reducing the amount of saturated fat and cholesterol consumed, a person can decrease their LDL cholesterol level. Eat healthy by including fruits and vegetables regularly in the daily rotation. In addition, since smoking lowers HDL, those who quit also realize better “good” cholesterol levels. And finally, aerobic exercise is a great way to lose extra pounds and in the process raise your HDL level.

Natural Treatments

Garlic, chromium, soy and Vitamin C and royal jelly have long been used to reduce LDL levels in the blood. Psyllium seeds, carnitine, Coenzyme Q10, pantothine, red yeast rice have been used to promote the health of HDL in the blood. And fiber works in tthe small intestines to present cholesterol from entering into the bloodstream.

Natural Remedies For Gallstones

Gallstones have been known to cause excruciating pain that is enough to bring the biggest brute to tears. And, although these miniature stones located in the gall bladder are common, they do not present a problem until they move and get stuck or stretch the duct that carries bile resulting in the need for medical care.

Natural remedies for gallstones may work to reduce the likelihood of a recurrence, however these remedies can provide little short term relief for those experiencing the pain of gallstones. As stated previously, medical attention should be sought.

Natural Remedies For Gallstones

There are very few natural cures related to gallstones, and while the factors contributing to the formation of the stones can be addressed (obesity, sex of person, age, and overall health), there is little that can be done directly to stones to prevent gallstones from occurring.
