There are so many claims about drinking apple cider vinegar (ACV)… but how many of them are “fake” news? What’s the real scoop? I’ve looked at several studies with apple cider vinegar, and am bringing you the facts based on the results of these studies. There are several benefits from drinking a 1 teaspoon ACV in a glass of warm water daily, including:
When buying ACV, ensure it is organic and has sediment floating in it; which means it hasn’t been distilled/processed. You want those beneficial quality nutrients! I use Bragg’s ACV in the glass bottle. So next time you are thinking an apple a day keeps the doctor away, think some ACV every day does a body good too!
Coconut oil has a reputation for being a multi-functional and versatile superfood which supports the heart, brain, immune system and metabolism. When buying your coconut oil, ensure it is “extra virgin” for the complete set of benefits. Here are some ways to incorporate it into your daily regimen (1 Tablespoon/day):
Aspirin is one of the world’s most widely used medications. It is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) drug. It’s used for pain, migraines, and fever; however can also help reduce symptoms for rheumatic arthritis in high doses. It is also used therapeutically in low doses (75-81mg/day) to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, colorectal cancer, a heart attack, or a stroke.
In 2016, three new studies broke the news that aspirin can help prevent cancer, particularly if there is an increased risk for it. It may even be used in treating cancer. But, after this news, it seems people wanted to get on the aspirin bandwagon. Please remember that aspirin is NOT a supplement; it is a medication with real side effects, precautions, and advisories so it should ONLY be taken under the direction of your doctor, for a specific reason and duration. For example, some take a daily baby aspirin to offset risks of heart attack or stroke.
The risks to taking that innocent looking baby aspirin can include an increased risk of ulcers or internal bleeding. In fact, there are more factors that could further increase the risk of an aspirin-induced ulcer:
So it is very important to understand the risks, factors, and only use aspirin as a treatment when prescribed by your doctor. Your doctor can weigh the dangers and the risks for your individual situation and offer you the best advice and ongoing support for this decision.
I’m NOT referring to something at the beach, but something many of us are guilty of doing at bedtime: grabbing our smartphone and catching up on the news, social media, or a game.
There have been numerous studies, articles, and blogs about this bad habit which can jeopardize our health… why are we still doing it? Let’s face it – we as a society have become addicted! The only thing that we can do at this point is understand why this habit is bad, and suffer through the withdrarwal as we let go of this addiction.
Please understand there can actually be serious health risks:
A strategy to minimize health risk is to get the features which can help with adjusting the blue light (Night Shift -iOS or Twilight -Android). This can help, but the real remedy is to shut off the phone at night!
In an effort to gain control over this habit, let’s make a pledge to only surf every other night this week, and fill in the off days with a good book, journaling, or just plain snuggling – body pillows included! Please store the phone at least 3 feet away from your body at night. Then next week we can decide to continue or minimize the surfing more. Deal?
