NT can we talk about New-Age Health...trying to live past 100...forgotten health secrets~~~

[Gill Baka Esq. LLC.]

So i'm might seem like i'm trying to take a page out of the homie G14's book by posting something like this but imho opinion it's worth some investigating and probable enlightening for those like myself who don't know too much about it and feel like their are things long forgotten that we gave up in order to live and eat the way we do now.
What inspired this thread was this:

http://niketalk.com/topic/294064/Is-it-harmful-to-keep-your-phone-on-your-lap?page=1

basically the things we use on a normal basis could be affecting our health in a very negative way...since we are the first generations to be exposed to these devices so wide spread. In the thread the homie Wr mentions getting a diode placed on your phone to negate the EMF fields that your phones produce because all these EMF fields have been basically holding us down in terms of energy and who knows what else.  I figured it was something like those wrist bands athletes used to wear like a bracelet that was supposed to help them with their game.

This thread is my hopes to compile some ideas, knowledge and use in order for us to be able to live for as long as we can live.  It's a fact that there are things we use that could end up being a detriment to our health in the long run...i.e. flouride in our tooth paste, aluminum in our deodorant, BPA, EMF, BHT, parabens in soap...the list is endless and atleast in our generation we are still in contact with some of our older relatives who weren't living in luxury and in a world of immediate gratification so they might have passed down some knowledge to you that could be shared in this thread.

It might be a bunch of b.s. but it's still worth looking into.

Right now as far as health is concerned I'm starting to look into:

Eating Kelp:

 Kelp is a type of seaweed that can be found on rocky shores throughout the world. Kelp is known to contains rich minerals, vitamins, trace elements, amino acids, etc. It has numerous health benefits and has been used in various natural treatments for centuries.

• Kelp provide important minerals such iodine which is essential to human body as it helps the thyroid function properly. The thyroid controls metabolism, energy, and growth in your body.
• Iodine supplied by kelp acts as antibiotic and help to kill germs and infections.
• Kelp increases metabolism and helps balance blood lipid concentrations. Those are good for overweight people.
• Kelp helps to treat osteoporosis by replenishing the necessary minerals needed to prevent bone deterioration. It is helpful especially for aging people.
• The stem-like parts of kelp have been used in some cultures to treat certain medical problems. It may have immunostimulatory and anticancer effects and help prevent the growth of tumors.
• Iron provided by kelp helps blood cell function.
• Kelp is beneficial to the pancreas and the prostrate.
• Kelp helps normalize glands and hormones and is an excellent supplement to take forpregnant women.
• kelp is also wonderful for nail growth and hair loss.
• Kelp is known to help body temperature and is good for people with chronic low body temperature.

Intake of chlorophyll:

you might have seen your boy tony stark guzzle this stuff down in IM 2

During our science class, we are very much aware of what chlorophyll is – the responsible for the green color of plants. Chlorophyll absorbs energy from the sun and facilitates photosynthesis in plants. Its unique ability to convert the energy of the sun through photosynthesis is used to make carbohydrates from water and carbon dioxide.

Likewise, no one can argue about the health benefits of green vegetables which have high concentrated chlorophyll component. Nevertheless, have you ever heard the other characteristics of chlorophyll which is quite similar to human red blood cells or heme? Aside from what we have heard about the scientific description of chlorophyll, there are lots of interesting facts to know in order to understand completely the biological relationship between chlorophyll and heme.

The Chlorophyll and the Heme

The chlorophyll molecules have similarity to human blood. The only difference is that the central atom in human is iron, while it is magnesium that is the central molecules of plants.

The groundbreaking research was revealed as early as 1926 by Charles Schnabels when he studied about cereal grasses and the possible relationship of the component of pheophytin in chlorophyll and the hemoglobin of human. After that remarkable discovery, there were subsequent researches conducted to variety of animals for further confirmation on the claim. All the findings were boiled into one conclusive finding: the chlorophyll is acting like physiological stimulant of the red blood cells in the bone marrow.

It was in 1936 when Dr. Arthur Patek reported the fascinating results from the study done with fifteen patients who were diagnosed of anemia. They were asked to take different amounts of green foods along with iron. The level of blood hemoglobin and the number of red blood cells increased faster than with taking iron alone. Therefore, based on the irrefutable reports, the chemical perspective of chlorophyll is similar to chemical structure of red blood cells.

The Green Color of Chlorophyll

Have you wondered why green is the color associated with chlorophyll and not red or orange? The magnesium which is the central molecule of chlorophyll contains special ring shaped formation which captures wavelengths of light but green is not captured. So, the overall effect of green color is reflected back to our eye. The magnesium provides high alkalizing effect on the body that delivers essential oxygen to body tissues and cells.

Changes in Chemical Structure of Chlorophyll

Please take note that when green vegetables are cooked, the magnesium removes from the center of the molecules and replaced by hydrogen atom causing some vegetables turned into olive-gray color.

Let’s take for example the studies conducted to broccoli. The two thirds of the chlorophyll content of broccoli were removed after 20 minutes of boiling. The World’s Healthiest Cooking suggested technique in preserving the concentrations of chlorophyll present in green vegetables through short steaming times. Nevertheless, the best way to eat these vegetables is in raw form to obtain the complete health benefits of chlorophyll.

Benefits of Chlorophyll

There are several reasons why green foods are considered as blood-building foods because of the similarity in structures of the two colored pigments, the red heme and the green chlorophyll. Here are the lists of health benefits we can get from chlorophyll.

1. Chlorophyll is the best aid in gastrointestinal problems.

Refined, low fiber and and animal fats contribute to major diseases start in the colon. Gastrointestinal problems can be best treated by improving the digestion and assimilation. Among those natural nutrients that heal the intestinal track, green vegetables high in chlorophyll content aid in loosening and cleansing the colon.

2. Chlorophyll Promote formation of hemoglobin and red blood cells.

Hemoglobin is the iron-containing substance that provides red blood cells their red pigment and transports oxygen to the body tissues. In fact, we may not realize that our blood is composed of 75% of hemoglobin. If the central atom of blood is iron, how chlorophyll helps in the formation of red blood cells? As we digested green food, the magnesium helps in rebuilding and replenishing the red blood cells which is responsible for boosting our energy.

3. Chlorophyll treats bad breath.

Bad breath is caused by oral bacteria that reside in a person’s mouth and it excretes odiferous waste products. The sulfur compounds of waste products usually lie at the root of breath odor problems. With the double action of chlorophyll, it acts as deodorizer that eliminates bad odor and reduces the stringent smell of urine, infected wounds and feces.

4. Detoxify toxins that cause cancer.

Researches found that the damaged genes caused by carcinogen substances can be prevented by chlorophyllin, a derivative of chlorophyll wherein the magnesium is removed and replaced with copper. It reduces the binding of carcinogen from foods like cooked meat products that damage the DNA and other organs of the body particularly the liver.

5. Beneficial in assimilating calcium and other heavy minerals.

Chlorophyll is very easy to absorb and assimilate. It is so amazing how it gets into the bloodstream so fast with the least amount of digestion that saves more vital energy. Not only that, cataract cases which is same as an arthritic formation, the hard calcium has come out of solution and becomes milky so that patients cannot see clearly with their cataract condition. Again, chlorophyll can assimilate calcium and balance other trace minerals to rebuild, replace, and exchange with the new tissue.

6. Chlorophyll fights infections.

It is the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds contain Vitamin A, C and E that are responsible to reduce inflammation. In connection to this, the healing aspects of chlorophyll were reported in 1940 by Dr. Benjamin Gruskin. With this vitro experiments, it showed that chlorophyll possess bacteriostic property that kill harmful bacteria.Moreover, the antiseptic properties of chlorophyll have the ability to kill germs by strengthening the tissues.

Recommended daily intake of chlorophyll

Chlorophyll is available in forms of tablets, fluid and powder extracts, infusions and tinctures. Some nutrition practitioners are recommending 100 mg of chlorophyll that should be taken at least 2-3 times daily. This is to clarify that chlorophyll is not considered as essential nutrient. Nevertheless, people are lacking of green foods in their daily diet are lacking of enough chlorophyll, and therefore advised to add chlorophyll in their diet.

For so many years spend in researches, the heath benefits from vegetables with chlorophyll have value and considered as blood builders. The nutritious elements are absorbed and aided the blood reserve necessary to the formation of hemoglobin. While it is true that green is prevalent in nature, same thing goes with green acts as our source of life and energy that builds our wellbeing.?

edit: did not come out correctly...will post back later.
edit: here's a list of some not so mentioned green superfoods...just a basic description for now...

[h2]

[h2]Amazing Grass Green Food Blend[/h2]Organic Wheat Grass – One of the most potent green vegetables available. Wheat grass is an excellent source of natural vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and enzymes. When grown properly and harvested at the ideal time, wheat grass is highly alkalizing and will help detoxify the body.
Organic Barley Grass - Green barley leaves contain a multitude of the body's spark plugs, enzymes. Enzymes are the catalysts for the body's essential chemical reactions and are responsible for our digestive processes, for providing cellular energy, and for antioxidant effects. Considered one of the world's experts on green barely, Dr. Hagiwara, believes that there may be thousands of active enzymes in green barley, especially superoxide dismutase (SOD), a major detoxifying enzyme that helps maintain healthy joints.

Organic Alfalfa – Roots grow very deep to absorb many minerals and nutrients from the soil. Contains eight essential amino acids, is a rich source of vitamin B12, natural fluoride and chlorophyll. Recent French studies have found that alfalfa can reduce tissue damage caused by radiation exposure. In addition, it has also shown to maintain healthy cells. Because it neutralizes acidity, it promotes healthy bladders and urinary tracts.

Organic Spirulina - Like all edible dark green plants, is also highly alkalizing, meaning that it helps restore the acid-base balance. In other words, Spirulina helps neutralize the acidity caused by eating excess meats, starches, sugars, soft drinks and preserved foods, excess stress, excess exercise, environmental pollutants, drugs, alcohol, coffee and tobacco.

Organic Cracked Cell Chlorella - Chlorella is the number one selling health food supplement sold in Japan. Chlorella, a unique single-celled fresh water green algae, contains high concentrations of chlorophyll, nucleic acids, amino acids, enzymes, antioxidant carotenes, and vitamins and minerals, especially zinc.

Organic Spinach – Good source of folate (folic acid) and loaded with antioxidants that combat free radical damage to the body's cells.

Organic Broccoli – Good source of iron and folic acid. Broccoli is one of the richest sources of anti-oxidants and contains sulforaphane, which is believed to help maintain optimal health.
[h2]Antioxidant Blend[/h2]Organic Acai – We feature Sambazon Organic Pure Acai. (Ah-sigh-ee) is a purple berry from the Amazon Rainforest. It contains more anti-oxidants than pomegranates and is loaded with healthy omega fats, proteins and dietary fiber. It has a rich berry-cocoa flavor that unites perfectly with our Green SuperFood. Our friends at Sambazon created a supply chain that benefits thousands of local families while protecting the Amazon rainforest through sustainable agriculture. Excellent source of vitamin A from Beta Carotene.
Organic Maca – Organic Maca (Lepidium meyenii) is a perennial that grows between 13,000 and 14,500 feet above sea level high in the Andian plateaus of Peru. It has tuberous roots that resemble it’s relative the radish. It is rich in calcium, magnesium, phosphorous and iron, and contains trace minerals, including zinc, iodine, copper, selenium, bismuth, manganese and silica, as well as B vitamins. It also contains four alkaloids proven in scientific investigation to nourish the endocrine glands, including the reproductive system of men and women.

Organic Carrot – Excellent source of vitamin A from Beta Carotene. Carrots are believed to be very beneficial for ocular (eye) health.

Organic Beet – High source carotenoids such as lycopene and lutein that supports optimum health. Contains betaine, which stimulates the function of liver cells and protects the liver and bile ducts.

Raspberry – Great source of beneficial photochemicals and antioxidants, which are compounds or groups of compounds that neutralize unstable molecules in humans.

Rose Hips - Natural source of Vitamin C. Promotes good health with bioflavonoids and strong antioxidant and immunity support.

Pineapple – Good source of digestive enzymes, vitamin C and natural source for flavoring.

Green Tea 40% - Since ancient times, green teas have been used to boost immune function. Supports liver health and contains catechins which show a wide range of protective effects, including cardioprotective, chemoprotective, and anitmicrobial properties.

Acerola Cherry - Nature’s richest source of vitamin C. Vitamin C is a premier antioxidant and important for overall health of the immune system.
[h2]Essential Fatty Acid Fiber Blend[/h2]Organic Flax Seed Powder - Flax seeds contain a high percentage of alpha linolenic acid (ALA), which promotes weight loss. This flax is also very high in lignans, which have anti-viral, anti-bacterial, and anti-tumor properties plus, antioxidants. Flax seed contains high levels of the desirable Omega-3 oils that are also found in fish.
Apple Pectin Fiber - Helps modulate blood glucose by slowing its absorption into the bloodstream. It also chelates toxins, such as heavy metals, in the intestinal tract. In addition, soluble fiber helps maintain normal cholesterol levels by binding the bile salts that cause the body to break down cholesterol to manufacture even more bile salts.
[h2]Digestive Enzymes and Active Culture - Pre & Pro Biotic Blend[/h2]FOS from Chicory Root – (Fructo-oligosaccharides) are naturally occurring short-chain polymers composed of simple carbohydrates (fructose and sucrose). FOS are not metabolized by the body like simple sugars are and, therefore are considered soluble fiber. They occur naturally in bananas, garlic, onions, artichokes, and a variety of other plants. Our premium FOS comes from Chicory Root. FOS are considered prebiotic, because they feed beneficial intestinal bacteria (probiotics), particularly Bifidus. FOS are low-calorie sweeteners and are only half as sweet as sucrose, while having minimal caloric value.
Probiotics – L Acidophilus: Balanced spectrum of beneficial bacteria found in human intestinal tracts. Regular intake of beneficial probiotics can aid in maintaining healthy intestinal flora.

Digestive Enzyme Blend - Tom Bohager explains enzymes in his book ‘Enzymes: What the Experts Know’ as. “A powerful blend of unique proteins that contain energy. Enzymes are the catalysts that provide organisms with the formation, breakdown and rearranging of molecules to provide organisms with the energy and materials to live and function.

Nothing healthier than reading a bunch of people posting "posting for later," who will inevitably not add anything to thread later but do get a +1 on their post count.

Drink a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar

More olive oil and peanut or canola oil, less vegetable oil and crisco

"fry" chicken with pam, egg whites, and crunched up cereal in a skillet

short, early morning workouts don't burn tons of calories during them neccessarily but they keep your heart rate, body tempurature, and thusly metabolism revved up throughout the rest of the day.

Aloe vera is one of the only known natural vegetarian sources of Vitamin B12, and it contains many minerals vital to the growth process and healthy function of all the body's systems. Numerous studies worldwide indicate that aloe vera is a general tonic for the immune system, helping it to fight illness of all kinds. Various research studies are underway to explore the potential of aloe vera components to boost immunity and combat the HIV virus, and to treat certain types of cancer (particularly leukemia). It may even have a role to play in managing diabetes.

Over 200 worldwide scientific research papers have been published on the effects of Aloe vera. The three main categories of research include anti-inflammatory, anti- bacterial, and anti-viral actions of Aloe vera. The juice is said to soothe digestive tract irritations such as colitis, ulcers and irritable bowel syndrome. Aloe's ability to encourage the release of pepsin (a gastric juice enzyme necessary for digestion) when the stomach is full is a possible reason for its ulcer-healing effects (Journal of the American Osteopathic Society, 1963, vol.62). In one study, oral use of Aloe for six months helped mitigate asthma symptoms in almost half of the participants. Eleven of twenty-seven patients studied who drank Aloe reported feeling better at the end of the study. Researchers think that results might be due to stimulation of the immune system, as well as naturally occurring anti-inflammatory agents in Aloe vera.

In 1994, the US Food and Drug Administration approved Aloe vera for the treatment of HIV. On-going studies worldwide show that Aloe taken in highly concentrated doses can stimulate the production of white blood cells that may help fight viruses and also tumours.

Aloe vera contains protein, calcium, magnesium, zinc, vitamins A, B12 and E, essential fatty acids and is naturally rich in:

Vitamin C which helps maintain tone of blood vessels and promotes good circulation and is essential to the health of the adrenal gland which supports our body in times of stress.

Amino acids which are chains of atoms constructing protein in our body.

Enzymes, which are the life-principle in every live, organic atom and molecule of natural raw food, rejuvenate aged tissues and promote healthy skin.

Germanium which is a mineral that some health authorities claim therapeutic benefits for: immunodeficiency, pain, cardiac disorders, circulatory disturbances and eye problems.

Aloe vera juice is said to be one of the finest body cleansers, cleaning morbid matter from the stomach, liver, kidneys, spleen, bladder, and is considered the finest, known colon cleanser. Studies have shown that it is healing and soothing in the relief of indigestion, stomach distress and ulcers. People claim relief from arthritis, bladder and kidney infections; leg cramps, constipation, hemorrhoids, insomnia, and for vaginitis, it is said to be an excellent vaginal douche. An excellent internal tonic for energy and well being Aloe juice may add greatly to the strength of the food fed, digestive tract, skin, and overall good health and happiness.

It is also used to ease heartburn, ulcers, diverticular disorders, and other types of digestive upset. It is used as an anti-inflammatory and may be taken internally as a remedy for certain digestive complaints. European folk medicine calls for using Aloe vera juice to relieve heartburn and ulcers. Preliminary research has shown promising results. Clinical trials in Japan indicate that certain compounds in Aloe vera reduce the secretion of stomach juices and the formation of lesions.

Animal studies and anecdotal reports claim that drinking Aloe vera juice or taking it as a tablet or capsule can reduce swelling and inflammation in arthritic joints. Drinking Aloe vera juice may also help those asthmatic patients who are not dependent on cortico-steroids.

In 1997, University of San Antonio researcher Jeremiah Herlihy, Ph.D., conducted a study to observe any negative effects of drinking Aloe daily. Rather than exhibiting negative effects, however, test animals receiving daily Aloe showed a remarkable reduction in leukemia, heart disease, and kidney disease. Dr. Herlihy concluded, "We found no indication of harm done to the rats even at high levels." In fact, the Aloe-drinking animals actually lived 25 percent longer than those in the control group (IASC Conference, Texas, 1997).

There is no single ingredient that makes Aloe vera potent and healthful. Researcher Robert Davis, Ph.D., an endocrinologist-biologist, explains that fifteen different compound groups of nutrients work together to make the plant effective. This means that Aloe vera's effects cannot be synthesized easily in a laboratory. On the upside, this makes the plant useful across a wide spectrum of circumstances. And because the various elements that make Aloe effective are nutrients rather than drugs, Aloe juice may complement medical treatments. In fact some cancer patients state that Aloe vera seems to reduce nausea, increase energy, and may help to minimize low blood counts caused by chemotherapy or radiation.

Aloe vera may help adults, children, and even pets receive more value from daily foods and supplements.
