Asian nutrition & Whole food

As an organic integration of Chinese healing practice and western nutrition, this new perspective provides one of the most systematic and comprehensive discussions of the relationship between food and health.

Basically, there are three aspects I find most helpful about this method .

First, the large scope it covers: from raw food to cooked food, from herbs to animal product, from water to minerals, from food combination to the art of chewing...it explores these topics in an unhurried, sensible, and lucid manner. The analysis on each of the major foods near the end of it is useful for the reader to select meal ingredients that can best help improve his/her health.
Second, I like the "middle path" approach the author takes, without going to extremes with either his theory or practice. For instance,you can practise vegetarianism, but he also acknowleges the effectiveness of meat in treating certain deficiencies.
Third, I like its flexibility in tuning into each reader's different individual need and condition. For instance, raw vegetables and fruits may help the person who has "heat" signs, but may be too cooling for the person who feels cold constantly, especially in the colder season. So each person can use this method to fit his/her individual needs.

My interest in food, health, and nutrition, led me to read widely in these fields. Mostly Chinese food healing art, and discusses it from the perspective of western nutrition.

Treatment for Bladder Cancer

Statistically, cancer of the urinary bladder appears to be most common in people between the ages of 50 and 70 years. 


This is a type of cancer that affects men more often than women. Studies show that it is more commonly experienced by Caucasians than African Americans. 

Bladder cancer ranks fifth among the top ten cancers that affect males. 


It is considered one of the most common malignant cancers and the tenth leading cause of cancer death. It manifests as a tumor of the bladder. 

The most common symptom of bladder cancer is visible, painless hematuria or blood in the urine.

Treatment of bladder cancer depends on the grade of the tumor (the degree of cellular differentiation), the stage of tumor growth (the degree of local invasion and the presence or absence of metastasis), and the multicentricity (having many centers) of the tumor.

Pulsatilla for Acne Problem

Although most common during adolescence, acne can occur at other times in life, especially during times of hormonal shifts.

Blackheads or pimples may be a problem on the face, neck, chest, and back when pores become infected or clogged with oil.

The bacteria involved are always present on normal skin.

Therefore, improving the skin’s resistance to infection is important. Most cases of acne can be resolved through hygiene and nutrition.

Remedies may be helpful during flare-ups, but a constitutional remedy, prescribed by an experienced homoeopath, is the most appropriate way to deal with severe or persistent skin problems.

Pulsatilla -

This remedy can be helpful if acne is worse from eating rich or fatty foods, and aggravated by warmth or heat.

It is indicated especially around the time of puberty, or when acne breaks out near menstrual periods.

The person often has a fair complexion and is inclined toward soft emotions and moodiness, feeling worse in warm or stuffy rooms and better in fresh air.

Tennis elbow exercise

Tennis elbow is often caused by overuse or repetitive strain caused by repeated extension (bending back) of the wrist against resistance.

This may be from activities such as tennis, badminton or squash but is also common after periods of excessive wrist use in day-to-day life.

Tennis elbow affects 1% to 3% of the population overall and as many as 50% of tennis players during their careers. Less than 5% of all tennis elbow diagnoses are related to actually playing tennis.

Tennis elbow affects men more than women. It most often affects people between the ages of 30 and 50, although people of any age can be affected.

How to read Food Labels ?

Do you read the Nutrition Facts food labels when you shop? Since 1994, the FDA has required these labels to be placed on most food packaging. The Nutrition Facts food labels are easy to find on the back, side or bottom of the packaging.

The black and white Nutrition Facts labels may be formatted vertically or horizontally (the vertical version is more common). Small packages may have an abbreviated version of the label.

For example, this is a food label like one that you would see on a can of condensed chicken noodle soup. It looks like a lot of information to understand all at once, so let's look at the Nutrition Facts food label one section at a time.

How To Cure Bad Breath ?

In 80 to 90 % of cases, it's due to something in the mouth. Most often, it's nothing more serious than a dirty mouth.

Plaque, the nearly invisible film of bacteria that's constantly forming in your mouth, is often responsible for bad breath. Other dental culprits include cavities and gum disease.

Occasionally, bad breath is due to something in the lungs or gastrointestinal tract or to a systemic (bodywide) infection.

However, eating a garlicky meal is one of the most common causes.

The strong odors of foods such as garlic, onions and alcohol are carried through the bloodstream and exhaled by the lungs. Another big loser when it comes to bad breath is tobacco.

Electric cigarette

According to the World Health Orgnaisation (WHO) 20% of the worldwide population are smokers.
The legal environment in Europe is limiting the places where one can smoke in public.
More and more public places, like airports, railway stations, restaurants, and the workplace, have established or become no-smoking zones. Smokers often have to remain "outside".
Electric cigarette by RUYAN products offer enjoyment without harmful substances.
Not only that, we bring smokers and non-smokers back together again -- wherever smoking has been forbidden -- no passive smoking for family members, and your immediate.
"Healthier" smoking is quite simple: Inside of each RUYAN product, you will find an electric vaporizer soaked in nicotine (four different nicotine strengths to choose from -- high, med, low, no).

Herpes Cure

One of the reasons that herpes infections are difficult to treat effectively is that the virus hides in the cells of the nervous system between outbreaks.

During these times, when the infection is latnet , the virus becomes effectively invisible to drugs and the immune system.

During active infections, some of the hidden virus "wakes up" to do its dirty work, but while any virus remains hidden it's impossible for treatment to lead to a full cure.

Quit Smoking with Herbal products

Approximately 4000 chemical substances have been identified in cigarette smoke, about 400 of them are harmful to the human body, more than 40 of them may cause cancers.

Herbal therapies to quit smoking are not restricted with herbal smoking or herbal drugs or gadgets.
There is another important therapy namely herbal tea. Herbal tea works differently when compared with other therapies. Herbal tea gradually reduces your urge for smoking and at one point of time makes you feel that cigarettes are not worth it.

Herbal tea consists of lot of natural substance that keeps you fresh and strengthens your nerves. They also fight against the harmful elements injected into the body as a result of cigarette smoking.

Besides they also remove the poisonous chemicals deposited in the body through smoking. This also helps you to overcome respiratory problems caused by smoking. It is very easy to convince smokers to consume herbal teas because by and large any smoker has the habit of taking tea.

Laser Eye Surgery - Is it healthy ??

People need to wear glasses for different reasons. Some people are said to be short-sighted or myopic. This is due to the cornea being too steeply curved or the eye longer than normal.

Therefore, light rays fall in short of the retina - the area at the back of the eye that interprets the image - and results in blurred distance vision.

Other people are long-sighted or hyperopic because their cornea is too flat or the eye is too short. This means that the light rays focus too far beyond the retina.

Others have a condition where the cornea is oval shaped rather than spherical, called astigmatism. This produces two different focal points which can blur images at all distances.

Laser surgery to reshape the cornea can help to correct these problems.

Complications occur in less than 5% of cases, according to the Royal College of Ophthalmologists.

Some people have a problem with dry eyes in the months after surgery and artificial tear supplements might be needed in the long term.

Many patients have experienced glare or halo effects when night driving, particularly just after treatment. This is more likely the higher the correction that has been made, but is rarely severe.

In rare cases, excessive thinning of the eye wall can cause the shape of the eye to be unstable after treatment. Severe loss of vision is very unusual, but some patients could require corneal surgery or hard contact lenses to restore vision, it said.

Eggs - healthy or not?

Eggs are in the news again. Is it good news this time or bad news?

Well--it's both.

Yet again, eggs are confusing us all by being nutritious, but associated with certain health risks.

According to recent studies, the news looks good if you're a woman trying to avoid breast cancer; not quite so good if you're a middle aged man who eats more than one a day.

I grew up with the idea that eggs were a healthy way to get protein for breakfast.

Then came the news they had Bad Cholesterol, and many health-conscious folks like me started to avoid them.

Then researchers figured out that the cholesterol in the eggs wasn't all that problematic, and eggs started to look like a great convenient choice again.

I probably eat about 7 eggs a week myself, the kind with a bit of an Omega-3 boost, and don't plan to stop.
