Если хочешь стать отцом: как улучшить качество спермы

Как правило, мужчины намного хуже женщин осведомлены о проблемах, связанных с планированием беременности. Большинство из них полагают, что после того, как он и его любимая женщина откажутся от контрацепции, зачатие произойдет само собой. Однако это не всегда так. Одним из условий зачатия здорового ребенка является качество спермы.

По каким показателям определяют качества спермы?

Основными критериями являются концентрация, подвижность, качество и форма сперматозоидов. Согласно «стандарту», разработанному Всемирной организацией здравоохранения, не меньше 75 % сперматозоидов должны быть живыми, не менее 30% должны быть нормальной формы, при этом концентрация сперматозоидов должна быть не меньше 20 млн. на миллилитр, а общее количество при эякуляции – не меньше 40 млн.  Сперма современного мужчины, даже полностью здорового, далеко не всегда соответствует этим критериям. Виной этому – малоподвижный образ жизни, стрессы, химически обработанная еда, а также анальгетики и другие препараты, отрицательно влияющие на качество спермы. Сдав анализ и узнав, что между ним и будущим отцовством возникла «непреодолимая» преграда, многие мужчины впадают в депрессию. Между тем, выход из этой ситуации существует.

Как улучшить качество спермы?

Ответ на этот вопрос нашли израильские ученые, специалисты в области репродуктивной медицины. В результате целого ряда исследований ими был разработан препарат «Поримор» (Porimore), представляющий собой пищевую добавку. 9 ингредиентов «Поримор» улучшает концентрацию, подвижность, качество и форму сперматозоидов, а антиоксиданты, которыми обогащена добавка, нейтрализуют действие свободных радикалов. Эффективность «Поримор» была доказана в процессе серьезных клинических испытаний. 

Израильские врачи рекомендуют «Поримор»

Именно поэтому все больше израильских врачей, занимающихся проблемами бесплодия, советуют своим пациентам приобрести пищевую добавку «Поримор». Принимать препарат рекомендуется не менее полугода (по 3 таблетки утром и вечером), тогда как первое улучшение показателей происходит уже через 3 месяца.  По статистике, большинство беременностей среди женщин, мужьям которых был рекомендован «Поримор», наступили в период от 3 до 6 месяцев после первого приема препарата.

Как да преборим зимните грипове

Спрете захарта – тя е вредна за имунната система

Освен снежни забавления, коледни изненади и новогодишни веселия зимният сезон ни носи и нещо твърде неприятно - настинки и грип. С понижението на температурите започваме да прекарваме по-голяма част от времето си в затворени помещения, което неминуемо е свързано с рязко понижение на нивата на витамин Д в организма ни, а и повишена опасност от разпространение на вирусните или бактериалните причинители помежду ни. Това не означава, че тези опортюнистични патогенни микроорганизми се появяват в определен период от годината - напротив, те са винаги наоколо. Променя се единствено способността ни да реагираме и да се справяме с тях, което е свързано със сезонните промени и климатичните условия. За да избегнем или поне да облекчим симптомите на настинка и грип без лекарства, трябва да сме наясно с техните причинители и условия за развитие.

Каква е истинската причина за настинка и грип? Много хора вярват, че настинките и грипът се причиняват от бактерии. Това не е вярно! Настинките и грипът са вирусни инфекции, при които приложението на антибиотици е неуместно и неефективно (с изключение на случаите, при които се развива вторична бактериална инфекция).

Грипът се причинява от навлизане на вируси в дихателните пътища. Симптомите включват висока температура, главоболие, втрисане, болки в тялото, отпадналост и загуба на апетит. Грипът е силно заразен, като най-активно излъчване на вируса настъпва около 2 дни преди появата на симптомите и продължава около пет дни.

Настинките са вирусни инфекции на горните дихателни пътища. Вирусът причинява възпаление на носната лигавица, гърлото, синусите и/или ушите. Типичните симптоми на настинка обикновено се появяват около ден-два след излагане на студово въздействие и вирусния причинител, като обикновено включват кихане, болки в гърлото, бистър секрет от носа, запушен нос, сълзене на очите и/или болка в ушите. Симптомите обикновено продължават около 7 до 10 дена и противно на разпространеното схващане, могат да бъдат също толкова заразни, колкото и грипът. Най-опасни за предаване на инфекцията на друг човек са първите 2-3 дни след появата на първите симптоми. Настинките рядко представляват сериозен проблем, освен в случаите на силно компрометирана имунна система (хронични заболявания, ХИВ, СПИН).

Важно е да се признае, че макар вирус да предизвиква симптомите на грип и настинка, то това не е единствената причина. Допълнително условие е наличието на отслабена имунна защита на организма. Съществуват много фактори, допринасящи за отслабена имунна защита. Такива са:

-    недостиг на витамин Д;

-    прекомерна консумация на захарни изделия и тестени храни;

-    недоспиване;

-    ниска физическа активност.

В борбата с настинката и грипа на първо място застава подсилването на имунната защита на организма. За целта още при първите симптоми:

1. Преустановете приема на сладки храни, изкуствени подсладители и преработени храни. Захарта е особено вредна за имунната система!

2. Увеличете разходките, избягвайте стреса и си осигурете достатъчно сън. Ако не получавате достатъчно възстановителен сън, ще бъдете изложени на повишен риск от вирусна инфекция. Топла вана, медитация или йога може да бъдат изключително полезни за вашата релаксация и тонус.

3. Уверете се, че пиете достатъчно количество вода, тъй като тя е от съществено значение за оптималното функциониране на всяка система в тялото. Полезни са и други течности като пресни сокове, билкови чайове (без кофеин), бульони.

4. Променете диетата си в полза на храните, повишаващи имунната защита. Добър избор са: сурови сезонни плодове и зеленчуци (най-добре домашно отглеждани);

храни, претърпели кисела ферментация, като кисело мляко, кисели краставички, кисело зеле. Пресни сварени яйца. Кокосови орехи и кокосово масло. Говеждо месо. Гъби, особено рейши, шийтаке и майтаке, които съдържат бета-глюкани, отличаващи се с имуностимулиращи свойства. Чесън - притежава силна антимикробна активност. Яжте 3 скилидки чесън дневно или 2-3 капсули или таблетки три пъти дневно (при употреба на хранителна добавка). Пилешка супа - широко използвано средство за превенция и лечение при настинка и грип. Пилешката супа стимулира определен вид бели кръвни клетки (неутрофили) да се струпват и да обезвреждат патогенните агенти. Освен това изтънява слузта в дихателните пътища и я прави лесна за отхрачване. Добавянето на нарязан чесън и/или червен лют пипер дава допълнителен тласък в борбата с вирусите.

5. Включете билки и подправки, повишаващи имунитета:

Риган - маслото от риган е с високо съдържание на карвакрол, който е силен антимикробен агент. Екстракт от маслинови листа - древните египтяни и средиземноморски култури са прилагали екстракт от маслинови листа като естествен нетоксичен продукт за подсилване на имунната система.

Други билки, стимулиращи имунната система да се пребори с вируса, са куркума, канела, карамфил, ехинацея, орегонско грозде, андрографис. Те могат да се използват самостоятелно или в комбинация като чай, тинктура или под формата на капсули.

Тинктура от ехинацея може да се приема по 20-30 капки в половин чаша вода три пъти дневно. Розмарин, лавандула и евкалипт са етерични масла, отлични за аромотерапия чрез инхалация или гореща вана, тъй като всички притежават антимикробни свойства.

6. Приемайте добавки - витамин С, витамин А, витамин Д и цинк са сред най-добрите добавки за обикновени настинки. Редица изследвания подкрепят използването на цинкови таблетки за смучене в лечението и профилактиката на настинка и болки в гърлото. Витамин А, мощен антиоксидант, може да се приема в дози от 15,000 до 25,000 UI на ден (по време на бременност не се препоръчват добавки на витамин А, тъй като може да навреди на плода). Витамин Д е невероятно ефективен антимикробен агент, влияещ на бактериите, вирусите и гъбичките. Най-добрият източник на витамин Д е прякото излагане на слънце, но... през зимата това е трудно. И тъй като изкуствената светлина не е подходяща опция, приемът на перорални добавки е най-достъпният вариант. Според някои изследователи с цел предотвратяване на грип деца и възрастни се нуждаят от 35 UI витамин Д на килограм телесно тегло.

7. Не подценявайте важността на редовните упражнения и добра физическа активност. Има данни, че редовното практикуване на умерени упражнения може да повиши резистентността към болести. Подходящи упражнения може да откриете в статията „Спорт и имунна система".

Средства за облекчаване на симптомите При наличие на хрема и носни изтечения особено важно е да почиствате редовно носа от натрупаните в него секрети и слуз. Честото подсмърчане връща секретите обратно и може да доведе до влошаване на състоянието. Най-ефективният начин за редовното почистване на носа е като затиснете с пръст едната ноздра, докато внимателно издухвате другата. След това повторете обратно. Изплакването на носните проходи със солен разтвор ще облекчи запушването на носа, а също така ще премахне вирусните частици и бактерии от носа. За целта смесете 1 чаена лъжичка сол и 1 чаена лъжичка сода за хляб в чаша топла вода. Използвайте спринцовка или специално пригодена за целта каничка „нети", с която да вкарате част от разтвора в ноздрата при лек наклон на главата, така че разтворът да изтича от другата ноздра, без да попада в гърлото. Повтаряйте по три пъти за всяка ноздра. Някои билки насърчават потенето, което спомага за пречистване на организма. Лют пипер, джинджифил, хрян и горчица попадат в тази категория. Те могат да се използват под формата на чай, бани за крака или компреси за гърдите. При правене на компрес никога не поставяйте компреса директно върху кожата! За да предотвратите изгаряне на кожата, предварително я намажете с олио. Билкови чайове, включващи канела, лют червен пипер и джинджифил, са подходящи за облекчаване на синусите. Други популярни билки и естествени средства за лечение на грип и простуда под формата на чай са мента, розмарин, живовляк, евкалипт, лайка, мащерка. Грип и настинка при децата Децата са особено податливи на сезонния грип и простудни заболявания. Те споделят играчки, поставят голяма част от вещите си в устата и често трият лицето си с мръсни ръчички. През есента и зимата училищата, детските градини, детските центрове и други места, където децата се събират, действат като инкубатори за вирусните причинители. Това прави превенцията при децата много по-сложна, отколкото за възрастните. Научете детето си да покрива носа и устата си с еднократна кърпичка, когато кашля или киха. След това изхвърлете кърпичката. Измивайте ръцете на детето със сапун и вода след всяко излизане навън, преди хранене и сън. Ако сте на открито, използвайте дезинфектант на спиртна основа. Непрекъснато напомняйте на детето да не докосва очите или устата си, особено когато те не са измити. Не изпращайте детето на училище или детска градина болно. Това правило може да бъде трудно осъществимо от заетите родители, но игнорирането му само ще допринесе за поддържане и разпространение на вируса сред децата. И колкото и да са неприятни тези симптоми на грип и настинка, те са част от естествения оздравителен процес на организма - доказателство, че имунната система се опитва да обезвреди причинителя. Така например повишената температура е начин за убиване на вирусите чрез създаване на неприятни за тях условия. Също така повишената температура ускорява обезвреждането на микробиалните белтъци. Затова понижаването на температурата не се налага, освен ако не достигне опасни нива. Това може да ускори оздравителния процес с ден-два. Кашлицата (продуктивна) е друг неприятен симптом, който цели да изчисти дихателните пътища от слузта, която е преносител на микроби към белите дробове и останалите части на тялото. Консултирайте се с вашия лекар винаги преди да предприемете определено лечение - включително билкови добавки и естествени средства. Съобщете, ако имате някакво сериозно медицинско състояние или приемете някакви лекарства. Информацията, представена тук, по никакъв начин не е заместител на медицинската консултация.

8 Natural Cancer Treatments Suppressed by the Medical Industry

It’s no secret that there are many people benefiting from the cancer industry, especially the drug companies. Many medical outsiders agree that there is a widespread conspiracy in the medical community to seriously and purposefully inhibit advances in fighting cancer.

Natural Cancer Treatments

Below you will find some of the most effective ways to treat and prevent cancer naturally that this industry doesn’t want you to know about.

1. Turmeric

In order for it to be efficient, you must buy the high-end, high-quality turmeric not sold in your corner grocery store. By using a high quality, organic, turmeric tincture you can build your immunity to cancer thanks to the curcumin component found in this spice.

2. Hemp Seed Oil

Considered a “superfood,” hemp seed oil is rich in both omega-3s and 6s. It has been used for thousands of years in medicinal teas and elixirs to provide anti-mutagenic action which inhibits genetic damage by radiation and/or free radicals. Again, be sure that you are getting a high quality product, and seek the advice of an expert herbalist for recommended dosage.

3. Reishi Mushrooms

Nicknamed “mushrooms of Immortality” in China, Reishi mushrooms has been used for ages to treat numerous ailments in the Far East. Usually sold in powdered form or capsules, Reishi mushrooms are most effective when taken over a long period of time and should be incorporated into your daily routine. It has also have been linked to the reduction of blood pressure and improved stamina and nerve function.

4. Apricot Seed Kernels

People have been consuming apricot seeds (vitamin B17) for centuries to prevent and treat cancer.

5. Baking Soda

Baking soda is another great tool to help balance the pH level in your body. If you keep your body well-oxygenated and balanced, cancer cells simply cannot survive, and baking soda helps maintain this oxygenation. All you need to do is add 1 teaspoon of baking soda to a glass of water and drink this every day.

6. Cannabis Sativa

Yes, that kind of cannabis, as in marijuana. Marijuana has been used for medicinal purposes for thousands of years, and is especially effective in treating cancer.

7. Spring Water (without fluoride)

Real spring water without added fluoride will help alkalize the body and get your body to its ideal pH level. Getting your body’s pH level back is crucial to help your body fight and prevent cancer.

8. Organic Garlic

Garlic has over 200 pathogens that fight cancer naturally. Essentially, garlic works by shutting down cancer cells’ ability to replicate, which therefore prevents cancer from growing and perhaps even occurring in the first place.

Many of these cures are probably surprising in their simplicity and availability. There are many natural treatments and preventive aids that are literally right in front of our eyes. If only the medical community would spread the word about these simple cures as opposed to covering them up, cancer rates could drop dramatically, and thousands of lives could be saved.

Health Benefits of Chocolate Pudding Fruit

Have you heard about chocolate pudding fruit? It’s called as such because it has a pulp that looks and tastes just like chocolate! Needless to say, it’s a delightful treat for chocoholics out there — it’s something that can be eaten raw or, needless to say, mixed with milk. Sometimes it’s also used for flavoring ice cream and certain drinks.

Chocolate pudding fruit is sometimes referred to as “black sapote” and “black persimmon” — yes, it is actually a type of persimmon, which is a fruit that looks like a large-sized tomato.

Native to various parts of South and Central America, chocolate pudding fruit is good for you because it is very nutritious. Adding it to your diet on a regular basis is a wonderful idea, in other words. Aside from pleasing your sweet tooth without flooding your body with tons of calories, chocolate pudding fruit also offers these:

Stronger Immunity

One of the vitamins found plentifully in every serving of chocolate pudding fruit is vitamin C. This only means that eating it regularly can help make your immune system strong. When the flu season strikes, the likelihood of you spending days resting in bed can be considerably reduced if your immune system is in a superb condition.

Reduced Blood Pressure

Chocolate pudding fruit supplies your body with potassium — yes that mineral that makes bananas so popular among those with high blood pressure. The said nutrient helps ward off hypertension by encouraging the blood vessels to widen, thus allowing the blood to flow through them with utmost efficiency.

Optimum RBC Count

Here’s another reason why chocolate pudding fruit is good for your cardiovascular health: it contains iron. According to experts, iron is important for the production of red blood cells. RBCs for short, having optimumnumber of red blood cells is important so that your blood may be able to transport oxygen molecules without any problem.

Proper Clotting of the Blood

Another vitamin that’s present in chocolate pudding fruit is vitamin K. The said nutrient is a major role player in the clotting of blood. Thanks to vitamin K, excessive blood loss can be prevented when you are bleeding. By the way, scientists say that vitamin K also helps in making your bones strong and healthy.

Decreased Osteoporosis Risk

Speaking of bones, chocolate pudding fruit contains good amounts of calcium. This only means that its inclusion in your diet on a regular basis can help in keeping osteoporosis at bay. Osteoporosis is a disease that is characterized by the weakening of the bones, making them extremely prone to becoming broken or fractured.

Better Eye Health

Earlier, it was mentioned that chocolate pudding fruit contains both vitamins C and K. Well, you can add vitamin A to the list, which is something so important for keeping your eyes healthy. Because vitamin A helps stave off all sorts of eye problems, it allows you to keep on benefiting from your eyesight.

Removal of Excess Pounds

Snacking on chocolate pudding fruit can help you shed off unwanted pounds in a variety of ways. First, it is actually very low in calories despite of tasting so decadent. Second, it pleases your taste buds so you don’t have to crave those sugary desserts. Third, it contains lots of fiber that can help save you from overeating.

Prevention of Constipation

Because chocolate pudding fruit is rich in fiber, consuming it regularly can help encourage bowel movement. This means that it is highly beneficial for people who are prone to having constipation. What’s more, consuming fiber-loaded chocolate pudding fruit regularly may also help lower your risk of piles and colon cancer.

Garlic Is Better Than Non-Toxic; It’s Extremely Beneficial

Garlic Is Better Than Non-Toxic; It’s Extremely Beneficial

A little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing when it overlooks all the details of the complete picture. There are claims that pop in on the internet that garlic is a poisonous plant food. The disinformation fear mongers or muddled misinformation mentors should all be ignored.

But, there is some truth about toxic garlic if you buy conventionally raised imported garlic. Over half of conventionally grown garlic comes from China. Almost all the rest comes from Mexico and some Central and South American nations.

Some of that garlic in China is grown in human feces, according to an Australian report. After having several large shipments detained in the USA due to mold and insect infestation, China and other nations have resorted to bleaching and fumigating their garlic with methyl bromide, a highly toxic pesticide that has been banned in some areas.

Institutional interventions that tend to ruin natural food benefits is what makes some garlic toxic. But there is an option.Pay slightly more to purchase locally or domestically grown organic garlic bulbs.

That’s what I do and I have been consuming at least two cloves of raw garlic daily for a couple of years. I don’t bother with chewing parsley to minimize garlic breath syndrome and I’ve been called on that. But you can if minimizing garlic breath is important to you.

An Obscure Garlic Brain Cancer Study

There’s more to garlic than simply “Russian penicillin”, the tag used for its microbe killing potential that leaves beneficial bacteria unharmed.

A small group of researchers at the Medical University of South Carolina discovered something else that’s useful for anyone willing to properly consume lots of garlic. They discovered that certain organic sulfur compounds in garlic actually kill brain cancer cells without disturbing healthy cells.

They did this in 2007. It didn’t get much mainstream press, if any. Maybe Big Pharma is trying to figure out how to create those compounds synthetically to get a patent and pay the FDA for approval after offering dubious papers from some sketchy trials and marketing it as the latest cancer cure sure to be a financial blockbuster.

Whether it’s useful for the cancer industry remains to be seen. But the results of this study were ignored by the mainstream press. It’s hard to tell if there was even a ripple within the medical establishment.

Interestingly, what’s implied from the background of the study abstract is that the protection against carcinogenesis provided by these garlic sulfur compounds was already known. The researchers, being curious fellows, were attempting to determine the mechanics of how theses compounds were so protective. That’s usually what in vitro (lab cultures in glass) studies are for.

Apparently they found out how and more. They isolated the exact mechanics, detailed in the full study text, and determined that these compounds are more than protective. They do what currently accepted toxic brain cancer treatments are supposed to do but don’t, while leaving other healthy cells alone which those “standard of care” treatments also don’t.

Three researchers teamed up in South Carolina for an in vitro analysis of what three natural garlic compounds can do to brain cancer cells, specifically glioblastoma, the fastest growing brain cancer tumor common to adults.

Two types of brain cancer cells were cultured, and three sulfur compounds from garlic were administered into the culture.

The compounds were diallyl sulfide (DAS), diallyl disulfide (DADS), and diallyl trisulfide (DATS). All three provided cytoxic (cancer killing) effects, especially DATS, which “induced cell death via reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and a mitochondria-mediated pathway”.

These compounds are able to get through the blood brain barrier to induce cancer cell apoptosis (natural cell death) and prevent future cell growth.

It’s recommended to peel open garlic cloves and expose them to air for 15 minutes or so to release those compounds. Some even say crush them for more exposure, then consume them raw to get the full benefits. This may not seem inviting to most.

But is sure beats the agonizing torture of oncology’s “standard of care” procedures that often cause death while attributing those very deaths to the disease and not the treatment.

Sprouted Garlic is Even Better

Sprouted garlic, older garlic bulbs with bright green shoots sprouting from their cloves, are commonly thought to be past their prime and routinely get tossed into the garbage bin without a second thought.

While some aging plant foods that begin to sprout, like potatoes, can actually be dangerous because they release toxic chemicals which can harm the body, that’s not the case with sprouted garlic.

In fact, a study funded by Korea’s Institute of Planning and Evaluation for Technology, which was published in theJournal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry circa 2014 found that sprouted garlic has even more antioxidant activity than its younger, fresher brethren.

Researcher Jong-Sang Kim explained, “Plants are very susceptible to attack from bacteria, viruses, and insects whilesprouting. This causes them to produce a variety of chemicals called phytoalexins to defend themselves. Most of these are toxic to microorganisms and insects, but beneficial to human health.”

Kim’s group postulated that a similar process may be occurring when green shoots grow from older garlic cloves. Extracts from garlic sprouted for five days had the highest antioxidant activity, whereas extracts from fresh raw garlic had lowerantioxidant activity. Furthermore, sprouting changed the metabolite profile of garlic.

Sprouted garlic enhances raw garlic’s proven anti-inflammatory, immune boosting, cardiovascular health protection, and its ability to kill 14 types of cancer cells.

So go ahead and grab a few domestic organic garlic bulbs from market shelves or farmers’ market locations and chew them raw in cooked foods and sandwiches, sliced and diced or crushed. Simply allow them to sprout to enhance their antioxidant properties.

Your Body Is Acidic. How To Alkalize Your Body Naturally (The Truth Behind Cancer That You Will Never Hear From Your Doctor)

According to Dr. Otto H. Warburg, the best way to alkalize your body naturally is by using lemon and baking soda. Dr. Otto H. Warburg has won the Nobel Prize for his breakthrough in the field of medicine – discovery of the true cause of cancer. Warburg claimed that oxygen deficiency is the major factor that adds to emergence of cancer.

The lack of oxygen results in acidic state of our bodies. Moreover, Dr. Warburg found out that cancer cells are in fact anaerobic and cannot thrive when they are exposed to high quantities of oxygen, one of the main features of alkaline state.

All healthy cells need oxygen in order to survive, but this is not the case with cancer cells. Namely, cancer cells can survive without oxygen. Eliminating about 35 percent of any cell will lead to its transformation into a cancerous one after two days.

What we take in our bodies every day determines the adequate maintenance of body’s pH levels. pH balance is actually the balance between alkaline and acid content in each cell and fluid in the human body. The body needs to find the ideal balance for the pH level of the blood, which is approximately 7.365 (a little bit alkaline) so that it remains healthy.

Nevertheless, the typical diet nowadays (including the one of the Americans) consists of many acid-supporting and toxic foods, including refined grains, processed sugars, GMO etc. this type of diet leads to harmful acidic pH values. Imbalanced pH levels can disturb the normal function of the cells.

Highly acidic pH can also lead to occurrence of many different health problems, such as heart disease, osteoporosis, cancer, diabetes and heartburn. If your body spends a lot of time in this kind of state, the aging process will also be accelerated.

As Robert Young explains, the most health problems come as a result of the acidic state of the body. Various viruses, bad bacteria, parasites, candida and other threats find this type of state great for development, while they cannot thrive in alkaline state, as it counterbalances

Health Benefits of Pomegranate Vinegar

Pomegranate is a fruit packed with essential vitamins, minerals, and three times the amount of antioxidants of green tea. Take it raw as garnish or as a healthy snack and you can take advantage of its concentrated nutritional value. Even better, take pomegranate vinegar to get higher dose of pomegranate’s health-giving nutrients!

What Is Pomegranate Vinegar?

Pomegranate vinegar is made from the fruit’ extracts as well as pulp and then brewed to turn it into vinegar. Pomegranate vinegar is perfect as salad dressing; use it to add flavor to various dishes. It could also be used as seasoning to fish and poultry, ingredient for dips, etc. You can also drink pomegranate juice on its own or mixed with your favorite beverages to maintain health and complete your recommended dietary allowance of vitamins and minerals.

Health Benefits of Pomegranate Vinegar

Aids in Digestion

Pomegranate vinegar contains high levels of acetic acid. This compound aids in digestion by boosting the body’s ability to absorb nutrients from the food we eat. To take pomegranate vinegar to aid in digestion, we recommend drizzling the stuff all over your favorite salad or add a couple of tablespoons of pomegranate vinegar in a glass of water after every meal. You can sweeten the drink by adding honey.

Boosts Performance and Energy

Because the acetic acid in pomegranate vinegar aids in better nutrient absorption, the organs work better thereby boosting the body’s performance. What’s more, the concentrated level of minerals and vitamins in pomegranate vinegar will keep the body energized all day!

Efficient Calcium Absorption

People who are lactose intolerant will benefit from drinking pomegranate vinegar daily. When you’re lactose intolerant, you have to find alternative sources of calcium, like broccoli or spinach. Adding a couple of drops of pomegranate vinegar to these greens will help you absorb the calcium in them, helping you achieve stronger bones and teeth.

Lowers Bad Cholesterol Level

Pomegranate contains naturally occurring compounds that keep the heart healthy and cut the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases. These compounds include tannins, antioxidants, and vitamin C. The potassium in pomegranate vinegar could also enhance its effectiveness in lowering elevated blood pressure.

Helps Prevent Cancer

Pomegranate vinegar may also prevent narrowing or hardening of the arteries caused by fat deposits, preventing heart attacks, strokes, and other heart and blood vessel ailments. Multiple clinical tests reveal that flavonoids and antioxidants in pomegranate help stop cancer cells dead on their tracks, shrinking tumors by cutting the blood flow within the growth and even triggering the self-destruction of cancer cells! These compounds basically eliminate cancer cells without damaging the healthy cells within.

Boosts Memory and Prevents Mood Swings

The flavonoids and antioxidants in pomegranate vinegar help prevent oxidative damage to the brain. This helps keep the memory sharp and prevents the onset of hormone-related disorders like depression or mood swing. Oxidative damage is also linked to cancer development. By preventing free radicals from damaging healthy cells, pomegranate vinegar stops the proliferation of mutated cells in the body.

Cholesterol Is Not The Enemy: It’s Inflammation That’s Making You Fat

The collective psyche of American society is long overdue for a major paradigm shift in its understanding of fats, inflammation, cholesterol, and the true cause of most chronic illnesses. Even many physicians, who should know better, still argue that cholesterol is evil and that sticking to a low-fat diet is good for health. But the fact of the matter is that avoiding fats is toxic to your health, and consuming the many food additives that commonly replace them – these include synthetic trans fats, refined sugars, and processed grains – are a primary cause of disease-causing inflammation.

It all makes sense if you just stop and consider the native role cholesterol plays in protecting arteries against lesions and other damage. Rather than being the cause of plaque buildup in the circulatory system, cholesterol is actually the healing agent the body sends to sites that have been damaged by inflammation. In other words, if you have too much cholesterol buildup in your arteries, your real problem is too much inflammation rather than too much cholesterol, and a whole different mitigatory approach is required to address the problem.

“It’s the inflammation in the vessels that starts the lesion,” says Dr. Beverly Teter, a lipid biochemist from the University of Maryland who has been researching fats and their affect on the human body for many years, as quoted by CBN.com. “The body then sends the cholesterol like a scab to cover over it to protect the blood system and the vessel wall from further damage.”

This runs completely contrary to the prevailing medical dogma, which still maintains that saturated fat and cholesterol are silent killers that can lead to heart disease, diabetes and other forms of chronic illness. As a result, millions of Americans have been duped into avoiding these necessary nutrients to their own demise, while they instead gorge on unhealthy vegetable oils, trans fats, sugars, grains, and phony low-fat junk foods.

“When choosing which fats to eat, pick the ones that are high in omega-3 fats and also choose natural saturated fats,” advises Lorie Johnson from CBN.com. “On the other hand, stay away from the fats that lead to inflammation, such as trans fats and omega-6 fats,” she adds, noting that most of the oils used in processed food are unhealthy vegetable oils posing as “nutritious.”

Saturated fat and cholesterol necessary for proper cellular function, brain health

What few people today realize is that their bodies actually require both saturated fat and cholesterol for proper metabolism, brain health, hormone balance and cellular homeostasis. Without these two important nutritional components, a cascade of health problems can ensue, including debilitating brain conditions like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. This is especially true for people who take toxic statin drugs to artificially lower their cholesterol levels.

“People with high cholesterol live the longest,” says Dr. Uffe Ravnskov, M.D., Ph.D. “Consider the finding of Dr. Harlan Krumholz of the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine at Yale University, who reported in 1994 that old people with low cholesterol died twice as often from a heart attack as did old people with high cholesterol.”
