Guest guest Posted August 28, 2003 Report Share Posted August 28, 2003 Thanks Jim, we do need to be reminded about how beneficial water is for us. I TRY to drink more. I have been taking a bottle along with me as I run errands. Especially in this hot humid time of year, dehydration occurs more since we lose it during perspiring/sweating. I like putting a bottle of water in the freezer over night (about 2/3 full, room for expansion) that way it is nice and cold and melts slower than regular ice cubes. About the Coke list-isn't it sad we put something in our bodies that can be used as an anti-corrosive? Yuck! Dawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 29, 2003 Report Share Posted August 29, 2003 This is good information and a good refresher (pun intended? not sure) However, people shy away from drinking 8 glasses of water a day. I would think it's because " 8 GLASSES of WATER A DAY???? " That sounds like a LOT. But this is a common misconception! When they say 8 glasses a day. they mean, 8 glasses that holds 8 ounces of water. Those tall glasses usually holds 12-16 ounces. So when you drink about 4 of those, that is your 8 glasses that holds 8 ounces a day. They also go according to your height and weight. I'll have to try to remember where I got this calculator...But I had figured out that for me, I can drink 5 glasses of 8 ounces of water for a whole day. That is just about how much I drink. Here is another tip. Water does not come in only one form. Water can be in Juice, Fruits, veggies, Jello, Milk, Etc. If you diet consists of these types of items, they are included in the 8 glasses of Water a day. Hope this helps! a > > For Your Health > > You may have already seen this, but I think it's too important not to > be reminded every now and again. > > WATER > > 1. 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated. > 2.

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2003 Report Share Posted August 29, 2003 I found the two websites to help you figure out how much water to drink a day... Follow the directions, then with the total divide that into 8. That will be the answer of how many 8 ounces glasses of water you should drink! http://bottledwater.org/public/html/input1.html Or just do the math yourself on this website http://www.geocities.com/pmddandpms/watercalc.html The answers may be slightly different! a They also go according to your weight. > > I'll have to try to remember where I got this calculator...But I had > figured out that for me, I can drink 5 glasses of 8 ounces of water > for a whole day.

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 Advice for Healthy Living Grains: Then and NowWhile modern techniques for harvesting crops have made food production much more efficient, they have also decreased the nutritional value of our food. Older harvesting techniques helped preserve and enhance the nutritional value of grain, for example. After cutting mature grains in the field, farmers would gather the stalks and loosely bind them upright in sheaves and let them stand overnight before threshing them (removing the actual grain from the grass stalks). This allowed the grains to germinate or sprout. Germination initiates a chemical transformation in the seed grains that naturally neutralizes the enzyme inhibitors the Creator put on the seeds' exterior. During this process, the seeds are activated and enriched, making all the nutrition within the seed available for digestion. These germinated seeds of wheat and barley and the bread made from them were extremely important in biblical times. This living "staff of life" supplied easily digestible, life-giving carbohydrates. However, the people of the Bible ate significantly less food than we do today, and they ate far fewer carbohydrates. For example, it was common for people in biblical times to eat only one meal a day, and the grains they did eat were healthy, sprouted, or germinated grains with small amounts of hard-to-digest disaccharides and phytates. All the health benefits of sprouted grains are available to you, if you know where to look. Check your local health food store. Many carry sprouted-grain products. Messenger with Voice. PC-to-Phone calls for ridiculously low rates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Doug Kaufman the nutritionist on the TV program Know the Cause, cooking/baking doesn't kill this fungus. http://www.know-the-cause.com/ It just turns it into a myco-toxin. About twelve years ago a friend of mine with metastacized liver cancer went to a clinic where they put you on watermelon juice and a veggie drink It put her in remission where she has remained until this day. Now in her eighties, she is the picture of health but still goes back to the clinic once a year for their detox program. Changing to a healthy diet is the first thing I always recommend for people with serious disease - particularly veggie juicing and detoxing. I've experienced it's effect in my own life. Two weeks ago I met two couples who had completed a 3 week fast - eliminating meat and dairy from their diet and making water their only drink. . Their countenances were radiant and they said it had given them much more energy - so much so they have decided to live that way. was one of the Hebrew children that had been carried into captivity by the king of Babylon probably around 607 BC. He and his two friends refused to eat the king's meat and drink The story can be found in the bible - chapter 1. Ethel > > **************Ideas to please picky eaters.

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Where can I learn more about the paleo diet? I tried veganism for a year too, but I didn't do well at all without at least fish. Also, I can't eat TOO much of chicken or I notice a reaction. But I don't feel satisfied if I don't get some protein source with each meal. I do best when I eat the kind of diet Lynne practices. Its why I think she is doing so well. I have to avoid the common allergens. The glycoprotein in grains is gluten. The glycoprotein in dairy is casseinate. If I eat one thing regularly for too long, I start to be sensitive to that. Popcorn is my latest problem. I " m still looking for that web page that someone mentioned about building up the gut. Did anyone find that page?

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 If you look at the sickest people in the US, virtually all are regular meat eaters. If you look at vegans as a whole, their health is impeccable comparatively. But like everyone, vegans still have to make sure they get all their nutrients. > > in 06 i was a vegan for a year. i fasted at this centre in california > for 15 days and then ate the recommended diet for 6 mos. i went down to > 77 lbs. am 5'5 " and the pain and swelling went down while fasting but as > soon as i started eating pain and swelling came back. now eating the > paleo diet am having much better results. eating all those sw potatoes > as a vegan was doing me in. my doc also monitored my bloodwork while a > vegan and my B vits, iron, vit A all became low. he told me his sickest > patients are vegans. check out weston price's work and you may be > convinced - i was - that animal food is necessary for a healthy human diet. > > monique > > Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine http://www.pcrm.org/is > <http://www.pcrm.org/is> > an international organization of doctors who realize and advocate > the vegan diet.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 hi amy paleo diet info: 10. *Cordain L, Toohey L, MJ, Hickey MS. Modulation of immune function by dietary lectins in rheumatoid arthritis. Brit J Nutr 2000, 83:207-217.* ABSTRACT Despite the almost universal clinical observation that inflammation of the gut is frequently associated with inflammation of the joints and vice versa, the nature of this relationship remains elusive. In the present review, we provide evidence for how the interaction of dietary lectins with enterocytes and lymphocytes may facilitate the translocation of both dietary and gut-derived pathogenic antigens to peripheral tissues, which in turn causes persistent peripheral antigenic stimulation. In genetically susceptible individuals, this antigenic stimulation may ultimately result in the expression of overt rheumatoid arthritis (RA) via molecular mimicry, a process whereby foreign peptides, similar in structure to endogenous peptides, may cause antibodies or T-lymphocytes to cross-react with both foreign and endogenous peptides and thereby break immunological tolerance. By eliminating dietary elements, particularly lectins, which adversely influence both enterocyte and lymphocyte structure and function, it is proposed that the peripheral antigenic stimulus (both pathogenic and dietary) will be reduced and thereby result in a diminution of disease symptoms in certain patients with RA. * Printable PDF version of complete article </articles/Arthritis%20PDF.pdf> from this page: http://www.thepaleodiet.com/published_research/ * *but i am finding robert mcferrna's stuff on deit net to be more helpful. * *monique * Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 I think what needs to be said is that HEALTH BEGINS WITH YOU The mind and the body are a fabulous thing.. and yes, if you believe you will be well, you will.. BUT, herein lies the key.. BELIEF... Do you truly, beyond a shadow of doubt believe? And did not God put all these wonderful herbs on the earth for us because we do doubt.. Because we believe we need these things.. that is not a bad thing.. everyone needs help...no one is perfect... why? because we grown up to believe this.... we also have turned to "better means" i.e., fast foods, chemicals etc... as long as we are doing things to better our health, our lives, it is a good thing.
