[AlternativeAnswers] Top 10 Secrets for Graceful Aging

 

Good Morning!

Top 10 Secrets for Graceful Aging

The Harvard Study of Adult Development, the longest, most comprehensive
examination of aging ever conducted. Since the 1930s, researchers have studied
more than 824 men and women, following them from adolescence into old age,
seeking clues to the behaviors that translate into happy and healthy longevity.
The book "Aging Well", by Harvard Medical School Psychiatrist, George Vaillant
has acquired the results of these studies that track the physical and emotional
well-being of the 824 men and women from every social strata.

The Harvard study found that we are better off becoming preoccupied with the
following factors that turned out to be most predictive of whether we'd move
successfully through middle age and into our 80s.

In my practice and in New York City alone, there are hundreds of patients that
come to me for help and guidance in these issues. These suggestions, when
followed closely, really help to improve our overall quality and outlook on
life. It is not just one situation that makes us age (some quicker than others)
but a culmination of several situations that create rapid aging.

Here are the top 10 secrets for graceful aging:

1. Avoiding cigarettes: Smoking increases dramatically the risk of cancer,
hardening of the arteries, and heart disease. Not smoking is the single most
important factor for staying alive!

2. Keeping a healthy weight : Half the [U.S.] population is overweight, 20% is
obese. Obesity will stop you dead in your tracks. Maintaining a healthy weight
and eating the right foods prevents disease. Get a better handle on eating well!

3. Wear sun screen 15-20 minutes in the sun is essential for Vitamin D. When
your in the sun for prolonged periods of time (for more than 15-20 minutes
without a sunscreen, the inflammation process is heightened. Wear a sunscreen
with at least 15 SPF.

4. Proper diet : Add more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains to your daily
menu. Most have no fat, cholesterol, or sodium -- and they're low in calories.
What you do get is lots of fiber, calcium, iron, magnesium, and vitamins, which
all play a part in keeping you functioning at your best.

5. Exercise regularly : After the age of 30 we tend to lose one-third of a pound
of muscle per year, and our bones become weaker as well if they aren't subjected
to weight-bearing exercise.

6. Develop good adjustment or coping skills : stress is apart of our daily life.
It is unavoidable. The single most important point you can make about stress is
that in most cases it's not what's out there that's the problem, it's how you
react to it. How you react is determined by how you perceive a particular
stress. Learn more on how to cope with stress.

7. Maintaining strong social relationships : Aging successfully, according to
Vaillant, is something like being tickled -- it's best achieved with another
person. Whether your social connections are with a spouse, offspring, siblings,
bridge partners, and/or fellow churchgoers, they're crucial to good health while
growing older.

Other studies have confirmed the health-promoting power of social connections.
At the UCLA School of Medicine's geriatrics division, Teresa Seeman, PhD,
evaluated adults in their 70s over a seven-year period. She found that those
with satisfying social relationships remained more mentally alert over the
course of the study, with less age-related mental decline than people who were
more isolated. No one is certain exactly how a social network may help you stay
healthy, although some research has shown that men and women who live alone tend
to eat less well, which could jeopardize their physical and mental well-being.
People with social connections also may have stronger disease-fighting immune
systems.

At RAND, a policy research "think tank" in Santa Monica, behavioral scientist
Joan Tucker, PhD, says that having people in your life can make you feel loved
and cared for, which can enhance your mental well-being. At the same time, a
spouse or close friend can also remind you to go for walks or take your
medication, which can have benefits for your physical health as well.

8. Reduce anxiety : We have fears and worries but when they begin to dominate
our life and our behavior, and become the focal point in which everything
revolves, that's anxiety. Many factors can contribute; trauma, chemical
sensitivity, caffeine, heredity, drugs, alcohol, lifestyle choices....If you
cannot change the situation that is the focus of anxiety, try to determine a way
of trying to change your way of handling the problem.

9. Laugh : Humor is one of the best medicines! The most psychological predictor
of aging well is learning how to cope, re-channel, diffuse, and dispense of
envy, jealousy, aggression, revenge and anger.

10. Pursuing education : Curiosity and creativity help transform older people
into seemingly younger ones, says Vaillant, even if their joints ache and even
once their days of enjoying free access to the office copying machine are a
distant memory. Individuals who are always learning something new about the
world, maintaining a playful spirit, and finding younger friends as they lose
older ones also are making the most of the aging process.

[AlternativeAnswers] Re: Extreme Allergic Reactions to unknown food

 

One of my sons is allergic to tree nuts. Took us a while to find that out, we did that through an allergist. Although some things that we think don't contain tree nuts have set him off. He now avoids Kiwi and also Cheese Nips because he had a reaction one time on an evening he'd eaten both and we knew of no tree nuts involved there. But he'd eaten Kiwis for a long time prior with no reaction, cheese nip crackers too occasionally.

This was years ago when he saw the allergist. They only tested for the more common type allergies, couldn't test for everything.

Fruit Allergy

Healthy eating has become a trend nowadays. Eating more fresh fruits is desired by most who are concerned about their lifestyle, wellbeing, and overall health. However, this may not be a healthy option for those with allergies to some fruits.

Which fruits cause allergic reactions? How do you know if you have a fruit allergy?

Apricots, bananas, cherries, kiwis, melons, papayas, peaches, pineapples, plums, and strawberries are certain fruits that are known to cause allergies.

The most common symptom is oral allergy syndrome, characterized by allergic reactions in the mouth and throat. There can be tingling, itching, and swelling in the mouth, lips, tongue, throat, and palate. Watery itchy eyes, a runny nose and sneezing can accompany the reactions. Those with hay fever are most susceptible, especially spring hay fever due to birch pollen, and summer hay fever due to ragweed pollen. They can develop allergic reactions when they eat cross-reactive fruits. Kiwis, strawberries, apples, pears, cherries, plums, peaches, nectarines, papaya, and pineapples are usual culprits.

Other symptoms include pruritis (itching), urticaria (hives), contact dermatitis, allergic rhinitis, and asthma. Handling of fresh fruits like peeling or touching the juice to the lips may cause rashes, itching or swelling where the juice comes in contact with the skin, sneezing, a runny nose, and watery eyes. Strawberries and plums can trigger allergic rashes. Apples and oranges trigger asthma.

More severe symptoms include vomiting, cramps, diarrhea, and on rare occasions, life threatening anaphylactic reactions such as swelling of the throat, wheezing, and trouble breathing. Bananas can sometimes cause anaphylaxis.

What are the best ways to manage a fruit allergy?

Usually, allergic reactions occur when the fruits are raw. Once the fruits are cooked, canned, microwaved, processed, baked, or heated in any way, the allergic effects are reduced. So even if someone is allergic to fresh apples, they will be able to tolerate eating apple sauce, apple jelly, apple juice, apple pie, and dried apples.

Also, note that the most allergenic part of the fruit is the skin, however, not due to the pesticides, chemicals, or wax on its surface. So those who are allergic to fruits such as peaches can eat the flesh without trouble, as long as the skin is peeled away.

The ripeness of the fruit can also determine how allergenic it can get. Freshly picked apples, or unripe apples, may cause milder allergic reactions versus apples that are very ripe, or those that have been stored for weeks after picking.

See if peeling the fruit, or eating partially ripe fruits picked directly from the tree, will result in milder allergies. If the reactions are the same as before, stop eating that certain fruit.

So the best thing that can be done is simply to avoid the fruits that give you allergies, and as long as this is done, medical treatment will not be necessary. But once allergic reactions occur, antihistamine can be taken to relieve symptoms. For severe cases, immunotherapy may be recommended.

To supplement the nutritional aspects of your diet, substitute with other fruits such as grapes, currants, gooseberries, guava, mango, figs, avocado, persimmon, and pomegranates. Consult your general practitioner or any healthcare provider to suggest other healthy alternatives.

[AlternativeAnswers] Heard about this new series from Access Consciousness with Dr. Dain Heer ?

 



Dear Friends and Colleagues,

I'm forwarding you this invitation that I received from Dr. Dain Heer
because I think you might be interested in what he's doing.

If you're not aware of his work, he teaches a process of healing that
is simply amazing. He's just announced that he's launching a 12-week
Global Telecall for Healing Practitioners. This class is open to
healing practitioners and not the general public. Here are examples of
who he considers to be healing practitioners: doctors, chiropractors,
massage therapists, psychotherapists, Reiki practitioners, Energy
Medicine, etc.

To give you an idea of what the 12-week Telecall will be about, here's a
copy of his introductory Telecall: The Healing Practitioner's
Handbook Download

Personal Message from Dain Heer, DC. ……

"I have a question for you: Why did you get into "healing" in the
first place? Was it to assist people? Was it to make the world and it's
bodies a better place? Or was it--secretly even to you--so you could
contribute to CHANGING THE WORLD?

If you became a doctor, healer, massage therapist, psychologist or
something like that for any of the above reasons, and you have been
feeling like somehow there must be more, and you've been looking for the
real, concrete, tools to make that happen, then I'd like to invite you
to this Telecall series ----- it will be like no other you've
experienced before."

[AlternativeAnswers] Dr Bate's Weekly Newsletter - 11/11 - Have you ever wondered

*Have You Ever Wondered...*

Why humans (and all primates) get so many sicknesses from viruses and
bacteria as compared to all the other animals on this planet?

Think about it for a minute. Eagles, Hawks, and Vultures eat meat that
would kill us. So, can cats and dogs. Why can't we?

A lot of years ago, I found out that answer, and it helped turn my life
completely around. (My NT therapy has done most of the rest.)

It seems that some 65 million years ago all primates, including the ape
family and our ancestors lost one enzyme that is needed in the body to
change glucose (blood sugar) into ascorbic acid. Yes, that's right.
Ascorbic acid is the basic form of Vitamin C. * Even more important,
vitamin C kills viruses and bacteria in the bloodstream.* Linus Pauling
tried very hard to preach this truth to us, but few listened. And Big
Pharma has managed to fool most of us with lies and phony tricks.

Almost every animal on this planet can make ascorbic acid *AS
REQUIRED*except we humans, our ape relatives, and a few other "funny"
animals.

Some years ago, I talked to the primate veterinarian in a zoo. I was
amazed to find that a 150 pound ape gets 4000mg of vitamin C per day for
good health. Now, since apes are very expensive (much more so than the
humans who look at them evidently), and apes are rarely sick in zoos, in
spite of the viruses and bacteria they get), how come we don't "ape" this
and take these same amounts? It actually is sort of a conspiracy by Big
Pharma. You see, if we know the real truth about ascorbic acid Vitamin C,
they'll lose a whole lot of money just in drugs and patent medicines.

Most of us are aware that a minimum amount of ascorbic acid is necessary to
avoid the horrible disease scurvy, and Captain Cook is credited with using
limes on his ships to avoid this dreaded disease that probably killed more
seamen than gunfire. That *minimum* was part of the original Minimum Daily
Amount (MDA) of various vitamins formulated back in the early 1900's. By
lobbying a lot Big Pharma and Big Food managed to get the FDA to change
this to Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA), and somehow 75 mg per day of
ascorbic acid became "accepted" by the media as a "good" daily dosage. It
might avoid scurvy, but is not even close to "good health", or even GDA
(my term for Good Daily Health).

Big Pharma and Big Food both have fostered this small amount (a "minimum"
to avoid scurvy) myth. Big food because it makes their food look better
than it is. Big Pharma as it leads to poorer health and sales of patented
drug profits with which to"buy" politicians of both parties. And they do.

In addition, Big Pharma has sponsored at least 4 separate "scientific peer
reviewed" (doesn't that sound really authentic?) tests "proving" that
Vitamin C does not do much of anything to solve colds or flu.

These so-called scientific tests usually consisted of taking a bunch of
people with colds and virus (same thing mostly), and dosing with 1000 mg
per hour. Now, since 75 mg is a "good dose to take daily, 1000 mg has to
be a "megadose". The actual truth is that by the time symptoms of a cold
show up, the virus has doubled at least 20 times in 10 hours - yes
a*typical virus doubles in size and numbers every 20 minutes.

*The result of 1000mg is way too little at that point to affect many
billions of virus cells. Even if it killed half of the existing virus
cells in the blood, it is ineffective. Here's mathematically why. At the
end of the first 20 minutes, the virus is back up to original strength, and
at the end of 40 minutes it is double that, and at the time of taking the
next dosage of 1000mg, the virus is up to 4 times the original.

The data is almost correct - *ascorbic acid has very little effect if not
enough is given.

*I take that 4 grams (4000mg) daily, usually 2 at breakfast and 2 at
dinner. Then I take minerals taken out of the body by ascorbic acid at
noon, using a megavitamin with minerals as needed. vitamin c lasts only
about 3-4 hours, so the new nutritional minerals are absorbed. Now, that's
the "usual, but supposed I feel that "tickle in the back of my throat, or a
sneeze or any other sign of a cold. I start taking 4000 mg every 15
minutes. Usually by the 2nd or 3rd dose, I'm completely cured.

Wow, is that much vitamin C dangerous? What are any side-effects? The *ONLY
*side effects from taking much more than the above is diarrhea. And,
that's a good thing, as it tells you that you took enough to do the job.
It's called "bowel tolerance, and it signals you that you reached the
correct amount, and a bit over. It's a small price to pay - diarrhea isn't
all that pleasant, but it sure as hell beats any flu or cold.

And that's only the beginning. It seems that if you use the cheapest form
of ascorbic acid (Costco at around $15 for 500 one gram tablets), you also
start to take out toxic minerals, and in the now highly polluted world, my
hair analysis of toxic minerals shows only 1 "measurable", and that one is
arsenic. All the rest including mercury and aluminum are gone. (The
arsenic comes from fruit and veggies from Central and South America where
they use pesticides, and it is so low tht no worry about it.

Even another benefit. It seems that we in this culture get way too much
calcium, and not enough of other vitamins and minerals to turn it from
blood calcium into bones, hair and fingernails, so it deposits in fatty
areas, and onto bones and arteries as storage. This causes many back
problems as well as blocking arteries. Interesting, when that artery
calcium si removed by the ascorbic acid, the cholesterol, and fatty acids
simply wash away. No need for open heart surgery, and no need to watch
your cholesterol. High is better in effect.

The next "benefit" is known, but downplayed by Big Pharma as
insignificant. It's an antioxidant in the blood, and it prevents and in
some ways cures cancer. (Used at 75 mg per day, that antioxidant factor is
not that important, but in 4000mg per day it is.

BTW, it it has my name on the label (As in "ascor"bate"), it cannot do what
ascorbic acid does, combine with minerals and take them out of the body.
Those forms are more expensive and don't do as much for you. Don't be
misled by hype and advertising.

If you are one who cannot take plain ascorbic acid, you are probably
allergic to corn, as that is what most ascorbic acid is made from. There
are some (more expensive) forms made from potatoes etc. Google to find
them.

I never met Linus Pauling, only talked to him on the phone in 1984. I
learned a lot of 'truth" about vitamin C from him. I hope you can learn
some of that from me, It'll change your life for the better.
