Natural Remedies by Cher- Relieve Stress and Calm Anxiety

RELIEVE STRESS AND CALM ANXIETY--(Herbal Remedies)
I don't think there is one adult, or maybe even student or child out there who hasn't suffered from stress or anxiety in one form or another. We all live fast paced lives and sometime the demands of being a mother/father, student or even a child feeling the stresses of life, can cause us problems. From neck pain to headaches to anxiety and panic attacks, lack of sleep etc...I probably could make a very long list, but that would just stress me out.... One of the best ways to reduce stress is with a proper breathing technique. Now I know most of you out there are saying, yeah, I've tried it , it doesn't work and I say you may be right, but I said the same thing until I did it right. It takes some self training and patience, but when done often it becomes second nature. The best breathing exercise is simply this , no matter where you are, you can do this. Breathe in for a count of 5, the breath should come deep from your abdominal area and fill your lungs in through your nose. Then hold for a count of five, 10 would be better, but make sure you don't pass out, then let it out slowly through your mouth. Repeat this as many times as you like, but don't hyperventalate (that is feel dizzy and can't catch your breath) Now when we are stressed we don't breathe right, our breaths become shorter and don't help us to relax. Also when the breaths are shorter your body isn't lacking oxygen at that time you are lacking carbon dioxide. So when you hold your breath, the more carbon dioxide your body is holding and this calms you down and relaxes you. You see, its not too hard and it can do wonders for your body and mind!

NATURAL CURES-WRINKLES

As age old as the wrinkles themselves. Our face can tell the tale whether happy or sad about our life, it's literally written all over our face. Wrinkles, nobody likes them, well maybe some, but most don't. Women spend millions every year to find the best wrinkle defender cream out there. There's botox, collagen injections, face lifts and the list goes on and on.

I'm here to tell you that there are foods, everyday foods that can help combat wrinkles about as well as the most expensive creams on the market!

Believe me? I wouldn't, it sounds too simple, but actually it is just that simple. What do you think people did before all the chemicals and so called natural ingredients in these face creams.

Well here are some that are tried, tested and true!

First of all, you have to eat right......I know we've heard this a million times, but it's true you are what you eat, and your face shows it.

Skinless chicken, fish, beans and nuts..................Protein helps repair cells that have suffered free radical damage. When protein is digested, it breaks down into amino acids, the building block of cells. Having allot of amino acids in your body helps speed the repair and regeneration of the skin cells and collagen.

Olive Oil........................................Olive oil is full of oleic acid, which is one of the fatty acids that keep cell membranes fluid and makes skin supple. Olive oil also has small amounts of other essential fatty acids that fight inflammation. Also vitamin E and ply phenols, a class of antioxidants that protect the skin from damage.

Garlic...................Just plainly...........eat it! Its good for you all around and it helps the skin look young.

Salmon, mackerel, green tea, blueberries, black berries, raspberries, and strawberries are all jam packed with antioxidants and protect the skin from the damage that leads to wrinkles. Also Citrus fruits do the same.

Vegetables and beans.......................without repeating my self too much.....do wonders for the skin, when eaten.

Water.....................the most important..............drink plenty of water, it not only helps the body, but the skin as well. The fluid keeps the skin healthy.

Take vitamin E along with your multivitamin and again.......stay away from coffee and sugar..............they wreak havoc with your skin.

If you want the wrinkles gone, you have to fight for it, eat right, exercise daily and we will all look younger!

Natural Cures-HIV/AIDS

HIV/AIDS

We know that foods won't cure AIDS, but a proper diet can support the body , to help it handle the physical stresses of this chronic disease and the drugs used to treat it.

HIV- the virus that causes AIDS, can put a great strain on all of the body's systems. Eating a nutrient-packed diet-0one that has lean proteins and antioxidant-0rich produce and excludes empty calories form junk food and alcohol-helps your body with the raw tools it needs to fight the virus and possibly delay its progression to AIDS.

Eat lean meats , fish chicken and beans.
Your body need protein to fight HIV, because it helps the body build the proteins needs to fight the virus.
Do not switch to a cheeseburger diet! Eat good lean meats. Saturated fats increase the already elevated risk for heart disease that comes with HAART medications, and they increase inflammation throughout the body.

I will not delve too deeply into this subject as I am not a professional!

Some food tips are:
Eat:
High fiber foods, lots of fruits and vegetables (the fresher the better), shiitake, maitake and reishi mushrooms are all helpful. Yogurt with active cultures in them, brazil nuts have a favorable outcome as well.

Eat well, take your meds, and you may be able to lead a long and healthy life!
Exercise daily!

This should be a good rule of thumb for all of us, no matter what illness we suffer from!

Natural Cures-LEG CRAMPS

LEG CRAMPS

The best reason to drink orange juice or eat bananas!

If you have ever had a Charley horse, or a tightening of the muscle in the calf foot or other part of the leg, you know how painful they can be!

I know, I've had them, it's a horrible feeling! They become more frequent with old age.

A few changes to your diet can help and actually stop these cramps from happening.

This also works with restless leg syndrome, which is a feeling of twitching in the legs or jumping as has been described. RLS(Restless leg syndrome) can be aggravating and very hard to control.

There are many products out on the market for pill for this syndrome, but a diet change can be a better way to go.

First of all foods rich in calcium, potassium, and magnesium are the way to go.

Foods rich in calcium are kale and other leafy dark greens, canned salmon with bones, and fortified orange juices

For Potassium, shoot for daily servings of avocados, potatoes, white beans, yogurt, tomatoes or tomato juice, cantaloupe, and bananas.

Magnesium, plenty of legumes, seafood, nuts, whole grains, leafy green vegetables and chocolate! Keep to dark chocolate, as it is better for your heart.

Now Tonic water, is a good way to go, also, take about 1 to 2 cups before bed, there is a property in the tonic water that helps with leg cramps.

Note:If you brush your teeth after drinking tonic water at night, it will help with the promotion of tooth decay from the carbonation in the water.

Nutritional Supplements

Take b-complex, folic acid, vitamin e, iron, magnesium. Mostly found in a good multi-vitamin!

Lastly--Take coffee off the menu! Coffee is a stimulant, and can add to the problems with leg cramp and restless leg syndrome.

Caffeine free, cramp free!

Natural Cures-MEMORY LOSS

MEMORY LOSS

We all have a moment when we forget something during the day. Usually it's something simple, such as our keys. Day to day living can get to us at times, we put it off to stress, sometimes we decide that we are just plain loosing it! When in fact its our diet! You are what you eat is the saying and it is more true than we realize. Over processed foods, fast foods, grab and go foods, we simply don't get the nutrients our body's need to combat daily living and be healthy at the same time.
Now some tips for enhancing our memories, and please what ever you do don't use those energy drinks, they do more damage than good.
Fruits , vegetables and nuts, spinach, blueberries, salmon, mackerel, and yes eggs! Garlic, cinnamon, apples, curry, tea, oatmeal, leafy greens, lentils, and fish. These are all so called "brain foods".
Each one has a specific thing within the food that helps our memories to work properly. I will give examples instead of listing each one, because that would just overwhelm you and I.

Blueberries, for example, they contain photchemicals called anthocyanins, which is what gives them their blue hue. These act as a strong antioxidant and according to studies improve age-related deficits in neuronal signaling, in other words, it helps you to think clearer.

Fish, the best brain food out there. Now I know there are worries about the mercury in some types of fish, but if you are careful to watch where the fish comes from, try to keep to Canadian, Alaskan, and U.S. caught fish, the others are the worry for mercury.
Fish have a tremendous amount of fats, healthy ones, that not only benefit your diet, but help your brain to work at its best.

Always supplement your diet with a multivitamin/mineral, because the brain is so complex that proper care and feeding remain a bit mysterious, just for added insurance take your multi-vitamins!

So have a Garlic, cinnamon, fish, blueberry shake and it'll all be good........just kidding, yuck!
Supplement your diet with the proper foods and watch your memory improve daily!

Natural Cures-Make Your Home Air Pure

MAKE YOUR HOME AIR PURE
If you want your house smelling clean and fresh, most of us go out and buy those expensive air fresheners which usually conk out in the firs day or so, or they cause our allergies to flare up or they just plain don't work.
A good and natural way to make your home smell nice and purify the indoor air you breath is Lavender Oil. Lavender Oil can be used many ways for such things as skin irritations, tightening the skin around the breasts, insomnia, nerve pain, and sunburn relief, but for the air purification you would need to simply place this mixture of essential oils in a simmer pot and wait as the air is purified and the fresh scent helps to lift the mind body and spirit.
Use 4 drops of lavender oil
2 drops bergamot oil and 2 drops lemon oil
Simmer as long as you like and repeat as often as you like. Your home will be fresh smelling, and purified all naturally, and much less expensively.

Stop and smell the clean!

Natural Cures: Heartburn

HEARTBURN
The pain of heartburn is nothing to burp at. Anyone who has had it knows how awful it feels and how difficult it can be to get rid of. There are many treatments on the market, in a drug store, corner store, just about anywhere, you'll find ant-acids.
I have a simple method for you, now it's not for chronic acid reflux disease or recurrent heartburn..
It is for the simple, damn I ate to much, or my goodness that was spicy, or grandma's made with lard cookies treatment.
It is simply baking soda! Yes I said Baking Soda!
You put some into a glass, usually a couple of tea spoons full, mix with water, enough to get it down without it being a paste and drink it.
You must follow it though with a tall glass of warm water, this will help the baking soda to work, then wait about 5 min. You should start to burp about now. Please follow with a couple of more glasses of water, be it cold warm doesn't matter, the more water, the better for your system. Repeat if the heartburn doesn't go away, give it at least 20 min.
If the heartburn is strong at the time, just add more baking soda than the 2 tea spoons at the start.
This works so well, you'll be heartburn free, until the next omg meal!
Best thing though, eat well, not too much and you won't need this treatment at all,
but you know we all do it then and again..........
Here's to the best burp you have ever had ahhhhh!
