Sleep helps wounds heal faster

Snoozing may be more important than good nutrition for cutting down healing time
A good night’s sleep can improve your mood, help you stay alert and boost your memory. Now data show that getting enough Z’s might also get your cuts to heal more promptly. In fact, sleep was more important than good nutrition in speeding wound healing.
This wasn’t what scientists had expected to see.
They had hoped to show that giving people a nutritional boost would make their skin wounds heal faster — even in people who were sleep-deprived. That would have been useful for soldiers in combat, or for doctors working long shifts in a hospital. The scientists thought it should work because good nutrition keeps the body’s immune system strong. That immune system helps repair injuries and guards against infection.

Another week of interesting coincidences. The above article talks about recent research discovering sleep more important than nutrition in speeding wound healing and within 24 hours I get two testimonials about my NutriBlast Immune blend being helpful! The first is from my daughter who recently visited Iceland from London and the second from my dentist.

 


 

Still taking the greens powder every morning. But forgot to take it to Iceland and toward the end of the trip I started getting a cold. As soon as I got back and started taking it again, boom – gone!

I replied to her:

Glad you are taking it and glad it is conferring some benefit but sorry to hear you started getting a cold. I’d like my powder to confer more than just 9 days immunity on a body. 🙂

But then again, I am greedy!

 


 

Dear Tom

Sorry I’m being late with this review.

Please put the following statement on your website:

Hi everyone. Im your local dentist.

Used to be sick all the time (you can imagine due to my work I’m in a very close contact with people’s mouths). I was constantly on antibiotics.

Ever since Tom introduced me to his immune product, haven’t been sick a single day. That is from August 2017.

I am very grateful to you Tom for helping my immune system to fight much much better.

Sincerely yours

Dr A Neskovska

 


 

If you are taking my regular or Vegan NutriBlast, don’t think for a moment you are missing out! All the ingredients in the Immune Blend are in the regular and Vegan blends. Obviously because the Immune blend has fewer ingredients, the immune boosting ones are in larger quantities.

And I d do get similar feedback from people taking the regular and Vegan blends. Strange how bodies do better on great nutrition, isn’t it? http://www.healthelicious.com.au/Nutri-Blast-Greens-Plus.html

Have a great week!

Tom

How Do You Like Your Eggs?

The good folk at Nuferm, from where I source the 2012 probiotics I put in my top bars and powders, sent this Easter themed email that I thought to share with you as it has some very good recommendations for helping girls to keep “down there” in tip top condition!
Ovarian Health Issues are on the rise. Here are some quick facts & suggestions to keep your goody basket in great health this easter.
Ovarian Cysts
Ovarian cysts are common in women during their reproductive years, little fluid filled sacs that are produced during each menstrual cycle, commonly known as a ‘follicle’ which will release the ova/egg during the time of ovulation. If pregnancy does not occur, the follicle typically breaks down while being shed along with the uterus lining.
Ovarian Cysts can form when this process does not develop properly the follicle enlarges while filling with fluid. An ultrasound or laparoscopy can be used to diagnose ovarian cysts.
Types of ovarian cysts
Simple cysts or Functional cysts
The most common, usually harmless and typically resolve themselves within 3 or 4 menstrual cycles.
Endometrial Cysts or Chocolate cysts
These cysts occur when endometrial tissue attached itself to the ovaries, usually filled with blood, these can cause serious ovarian and fertility issues if left untreated.
Dermoid Cysts
These can contain various types of human tissue including hair, nails and teeth.
Cyst-adenoma
These cysts form from cells lining the outer surface of the ovaries.
Symptoms of ovarian cysts
Ovarian cysts can often present without any symptoms at all, other times the following can be experienced.
Pressure caused by the enlarged cysts can leave you with a feeling fullness and discomfort within the abdomen.
Painful sexual intercourse.
Disrupted/irregular menstrual cycle and/or painful periods.
Treatment options
Supporting our bodies with organic, healthy foods, minerals and probiotics to ensure optimal thyroid and hormonal functions are met, may reduce the symptoms of ovarian cysts and encourage healing.
Avoid diary products – dairy products have been known to worsen the effects of cystic formations within the body.
Avoid margarine and processed vegetable oils.
Increase Iodine, Selenium and Vitamin D Intake
Iodine deficiencies may increase the risks of cysts within the ovaries, breast and thyroid gland. Treating the thyroid with nutritional medicine has been known to resolve issues related to cystic growths.
Selenium & Vitamin D have also been known to shrink, drastically reduce the size of the ovarian cysts.

So you want to slow the aging process of your body?

There is a wonderful stem cell boosting ingredient called AFA also known as Blue Green Klamath Algae. Today I a newsletter telling me how good it is as an anti-aging supplement. Here is the newsletter on it.

On my 40th birthday my mother said to me: Son, if you’re going to fight the ageing process, know this: You are going to lose.
Very true and wise words.
However, my thinking is a little less fatalistic.
As you age, your body’s immune system weakens, making you more vulnerable to infections and disease…
If that is the case, then the opposite is also true: Strengthening you body’s defences can help slow down the ageing process.
But where does one begin?
By taking a handful of supplements every day?
Not at all!
In the last 10 years, an enormous amount of scientific research has been carried out on blue-green algae (scientific name Aphanizomenon flos-aquae, or AFA for short).
This algae is not only a powerful antioxidant (fighting inflammation and oxidative stress, and boosting immunity) but also contains a high concentration of nutrients (over 65 vitamins, minerals and enzymes), the complete spectrum of eight essential amino acids and ten non-essential amino acids, and has the most biologically active chlorophyll of any known food, which is instrumental in promoting good health.
One of the most exciting discoveries is that AFA stimulates natural killer cells – white blood cells that have an important function in immune protection by searching out and destroying cancerous and virally-infected cells.
Studies have shown that within just two hours of ingestion, AFA boosted the circulation of Natural Killer cells by a massive 40 per cent.
AFA is also one of the best sources of beneficial omega-3 essential fatty acids. Animal studies have shown that it significantly raises blood levels of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) – two omega-3 fatty acids that are known to lower the risk of heart disease and stroke, reduce inflammation and prevent depression.
Arthritis, eczema, depression…
The blue pigment found in AFA, called phycocyanin, has been found to be a strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. Not only does phycocyanin block the production of a particularly nasty inflammatory chemical called leukotriene B4 that is implicated in causing diseases like arthritis and eczema, it has also been found to be one of the most powerful natural COX-2 inhibitors.
COX-2 (cyclooxygenase-2) is an enzyme that causes inflammation, suppresses the immune system and promotes cancer. Pharmaceutical COX-2 inhibitors, often prescribed for arthritis, have recently been shown to carry alarming risks of heart disease or stroke, so having a safe and effective natural alternative like AFA is now even more important.
AFA’s benefits don’t end there – people taking it have reported improvements in their mood, mental energy, mental clarity and quality of life. This is not surprising, as AFA is a unique source of a mood-enhancing substance called phenylethylamine (PEA).
PEA is a chemical produced naturally in the brain and is responsible for the good feeling you get when absorbed in a pleasurable activity. In one study, a dose of 10mg a day of PEA reduced depression in 60 per cent of patients, a success rate better than many prescription drugs, with no unpleasant side-effects.
As you can see, there is no doubt that AFA packs a powerful punch when it comes to boosting your body’s defenses and slowing down the ageing process.

The Old Egg Seller – ‘Charity Wrapped With Dignity’

The Old Egg Seller

She asked him, “How much are you selling the eggs for?”

The old seller replied, “$.25 an egg, Madam.”

She said to him, “I will take 6 eggs for $1.25 or I will leave.”

The old seller replied, “Come take them at the price you want. Maybe, this is a good beginning because I have not been able to sell even a single egg today.”

She took the eggs and walked away feeling she had won. She got into her fancy car and went to a posh restaurant with her friend. There, she and her friend, ordered whatever they liked. They ate a little and left a lot of what they ordered. Then she went to pay the bill. The bill cost her $45.00 She gave $50.00 and told the owner of the restaurant to keep the change.

This incident might have seemed quite normal to the restaurant owner but, had he seen it, very painful to the poor egg seller.

The point is, why do many show they have the power when they buy from the needy? And why get generous to those who do not even need our generosity?

I once read somewhere: My father used to buy simple goods from poor people at high prices, even though he did not need them.

Sometimes he even used to pay extra for them. I got concerned by this act and asked him why does he do so? My father replied, “It is a charity wrapped with dignity, my child.”

If you feel that people need to see this, then do spread this message.

Love this concept! Charity wrapped with dignity!

If more of us did it, we’d have less government handouts which breed only dependence on an unethical, irresponsible, self-serving few who spend other people’s money all too freely.

The story may or may not be true but the principle is a valid as the sun and the grass.

Do What Works

Do What Works
This logic won’t sway those who feel rather than think but if you can do both, it tells a strong story. You need a balance of intelligence and force to survive in this universe.
