[AlternativeAnswers] Tootsie Health: Summer Foot Care

 

Good Morning!

Tootsie Health: Summer Foot Care

Summer is the time when our feet are most exposed to the elements. So now, more than ever, is the time to take care of those tootsies! Bones form the basic structure of our feet. There are 26 bones in each foot alone. Here are some good general tips for all feet:

* Wash your feet daily. Rinse off all soap and dry thoroughly, especially between toes. 

* Trim nails straight across, and not too short. Don't cut out or dig at corners. 

* Do not trim, shave, or use over-the-counter medicines to dissolve corns or calluses 

* Wear clean socks or stockings, changed daily. Don't wear any that are too short or too tight. 

* Wear shoes that fit. 

* Wear shoes made of leather or canvas - not synthetics. Sandals are good. 

* Switch shoes from day to day. 

* Use foot powder. 

* See your doctor if severe problems persist. 

* Get a manicure --Set aside twenty dollars or so to get a manicure AND pedicure. It is so worth it! 

* Scrub those feet --Make sure you are exfoliating the tops, sides, and bottoms of your feet at least twice a week in the shower. You want your feet soft for the summer sandals. 

* Tan hands and feet --If you use a self-tanner on your hands and feet,use a make-up sponge to blend well around the fingers and toes. If you take your time in applying carefully, it will look very natural. 

* Foot refresher --After soaking feet in warm water, massage feet with a mixture of 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1 tablespoon crushed dried peppermint. Remove with a warm, damp washcloth. 

* Hangnails --Pierce a 400 IU-vitamin E capsule and massage a drop into hangnail to soften and speed healing. 

* For nails that are nourished from the inside out --Try supplementing your already healthy eating plan with MSM. This natural sulfur source from the sea speeds the growth of your hair and nails. 

* Exfoliate your feet! --Use a loofah sponge to exfoliate tops, sides and bottom of your feet. Remember to scrub all of your toes too. 

* After drying with a fluffy towel, apply your favorite moisturizer generously and then put on a thick (warm from the dryer) pair of socks on for a pampered feeling. 

* Give your nails a break --Take off your acrylic nails and let your fingertips breathe. It will take a while for them to recover, but it is a healthier (and less expensive) way to maintain your nails. 

* Bath Trim! --After showing or bathing, trim your toenails and smooth any rough edges with a file. 

* Use a pumice stones on calluses and make it a habit to use a foot file on the bottom of your feet and heals at least once a week. This will keep your feet ready for any sandal at any time. 

* Natural nail file --Use a popsicle stick to file your natural nails. 

* To help your nail polish glide on --Dip a cotton ball in a facial astringent to remove any excess oil on your nails. Your polish will go on much smoother. 

* Foot calluses --Always use a pumice stone. Do not use razors or other cutters. 

Exercise for your feet : Your feet have a big job to do. That is why it is important for your feet to always be supple and flexible, no matter what age! Exercises for your feet can be done practically anywhere... so you have no excuse.

Yoga therapy has wonderful exercises to keep the feet smooth, flexible and pain free! Yoga can develop proper alignment of the knees, ankles and feet. It can help to prevent such foot problems as bunions, plantar fasciitis and shin splints.

1. Increased flexibility, relieves hammertoe and bunions : Sitting in a chair, rest your heels on the floor. Be sure the heels are in line with the knees. Inhale as you flex your toes, so there is space between them, them, slowly lift them up toward your knees, flexing the angle of the feet. Exhale and press through the center of the feet as you place them back on the floor. Toes are the last thing to touch the floor. Keep your heels on the floor the entire time. Repeat 15-20 times. Improve the flexibility of your feet, click here.

2. Strengthens ankles and calves : Face the wall with your feet together. You can use the wall for balance only. Press up through the feet, lifting your heels as high as possible. Slowly lower. Repeat 15-20 times. For additional help with this pose and variations, click here.

3. Relieves plantar fasciitis, strengthens arches: While sitting, place your foot on a towel on the floor and scrunch the towel toward you with your toes. Scrunch the towel inch by inch, so it bunches up under your arch. Repeat 15-20 times. For more plantar fasciitis exercises, click here.

4. Relieves symptoms from bunions: Weave the fingers of one hand between each of the toes of your opposite foot. With a firm grip, massage and stretch the toes and ball of the foot. Open the space between the toes and work on the mobility of the foot. Repeat 15-20 times. Relieve symptoms your feet experience,

[AlternativeAnswers] Wait! I Thought This Was Good For Me!

 

Wait!  I Thought This Was Good For Me!

As anyone who begins doing open-minded research into the food industry will soon realize, the extent to which the population of the world has been brainwashed by propaganda about food, what is healthy for the human body, and what is not, is mind bogglingly pervasive.  There is a long list of food items, each of which were I to say to the average person, that person would think to themselves, "This is healthy; this is good for me," when in fact the exact opposite is the reality!


This is direct manipulation through massively funded propaganda campaigns, inflicted on the public by the food industry.   Anyway, with that in mind this is the first of many articles I intend to send to my "Defeat Diabetes" contacts.  Could you be mistakenly be eating food items that, even as a diabetic, you believe to be healthy for you, when in fact they could be contributing to your disease and/or a host of other potential chronic health problems?


Just for example, what comes to your mind, or what do you think comes to most people's minds, when they hear the following phrases: "whole grain bread", or," multi-grain bread," or, "whole wheat bread?"  Do you not agree that the majority of persons are going to have warm, fuzzy, healthy thoughts while picturing in their mind's a brown grainy "healthy" loaf of delicious high fiber bread?  Of course!  But what is the reality?


Yeast


Every raised loaf of bread must have yeast.  Like everything else large commercialized food production companies touch, something that is naturally either good for us or at least insignificant to our health, is through greed, transformed into something highly damaging to our bodies.  With a rare exception, any loaf of bread you might purchase at a grocery store, regardless of the label touting it as healthy, "whole grain," "multi-grain," or "whole wheat," has been prepared and baked using toxic, synthetically created in a lab through genetic modification – yeast.  This stuff is truly a, "science lab experiment gone horribly wrong." 


This yeast (living bacteria) is not the same healthy ferments or sourdough used much earlier in human history.  It does not break apart during cooking, and does not digest at all with our saliva, or in our system.  This causes clogging of our digestive tract, disturbing proper immune system function, leading to asthma, cancer, allergies, constipation and poor digestion.  It provides food for fungus, candida, and other yeast infections in our body.  All of these things lead to inflammation throughout the body and inflammation is the root cause of diabetes and virtually every other chronic health condition and disease that you can think of.


These killer yeast bacteria destroy other sensitive and less protected cells of our body by discharging a toxic substance which is made up of proteins which increase the permeability (ability to penetrate) of cellular membranes (cell walls) to viruses and pathogens.  All of this leads to illnesses of the digestive tract, and all digestive organs like the stomach, gall bladder, pancreas and liver.  


Of course, anyone suffering from diabetes knows that anything adversely affecting their pancreas is adversely affecting or contributing to their diabetes.  Many do not know though, that the functionality of all of their other digestive organs also play a vital role in their diabetic health or lack of it.


The stomach is covered with a mucous membrane which provides protection against stomach acid. A diet high in industrial yeast, sugar and acidifying foods progressively destroys this lining leading to ulcers, indigestion and acid re-flux.  Such a diet also leads to formation of plaque deposits and stones in the gall bladder, liver, pancreas, and constipation.  My mother recently had to have her gall bladder removed.  It had over 200 stones in it!  She thought she was eating healthy. 


The mucous lining in the digestive tract takes a giant hit by the pathogenic bacteria, slowing down toxin removal, damaging the fine lining of the digestive tract, reducing its defense functions and reducing its ability to digest and use vitamins and minerals from the food as well as seriously hinder its ability to synthesize vitamins (again, our natural unhindered intestinal bacteria would normally synthesize soluble vitamins and even essential amino acids).


So instead of being advised by their doctor of the true cause of their acid re-flux, most consumers just cover over this dangerous concoction brewing in their stomach with either over-the-counter or doctor prescribed acid re-flux "medicines."  This is like putting a band aid on a leg suffering from multiple compound fractures!


Bacterial, fungal, and parasitic infections are now easily able to penetrate the digestive walls, migrating to the blood stream and from there to the entire body, leading to severe decreases in cellular metabolism, biochemical changes of the blood, putrid slime deposits in the plasma of the blood, slower and more viscous blood flow, blood clot development, an overstressed lymphatic system, nervous tissue changes, irritable bowel syndrome, and many other health conditions.


All of this and I haven't even gotten to the most serious result of all, which is acidosis (high acid or ph level in the body).  In the interest of not overwhelming you I will save that for another time.  For now, take my word for it…it's bad.


Anyway, the point of all this is that, today we have just discussed, 1, the first, of many food items the general public, including diabetics and people who tell diabetics what is good for them to eat, consider to be healthy.  I just did a simple Google search and as long as the bread is made with whole grain flour, it is generally considered a healthy item for diabetics. 


Consequently, 99.9% are probably going to feel fine going to the grocery store and purchasing a loaf of "whole Grain" bread of some kind to consume on a regular basis. They will believe they are eating something healthy and that does not worsen their diabetes.  


Clearly this is not the case.  Quite the opposite!  Instead, they are consuming something that attacks their overall health from multiple fronts and can greatly accelerate their disease. 


If this is the result of our investigation into just one item, the unnatural yeast in bread you think is healthy, what else are we going to find when we examine some other quote unquote "healthy" foods you are eating?  Stay tuned to find out J


Reference – The majority of the content of this article was taken from the complete version of the book, "The 7 Steps to Health and the Big Diabetes Lie.

Good Health to You,
