[AlternativeAnswers] Food Choices for Fall

 

Good Morning!


Food Choices for Fall

When eating along with the seasons, there are two elements that should be taken into account. The "nature" of the food and the "flavor" of the food. The nature of the food refers to the foods innate temperature ie: cold, hot, warm, cool or neutral. Eating a moderate amount of all flavors sweet, salty, pungent, bitter and sour can help to keep your body balanced and regulated.

Pungent taste is attributed to the lungs. Moderate amounts of pungent foods like garlic, onions, ginger, horseradish, and mustard are beneficial to the lungs.

To help tonify the large intestines, concentrate on eating fiber rich fruits, vegetable and psyllium. Consider chlorophyll rich foods such as spirulina, chlorella, barley grass, wheat brass, klamath blue green algae Other green foods that are beneficial are kale, parsley, and collard greens.

What we eat greatly affects the health of your lungs. Eating excess cold and raw foods creates dampness or phlegm which is produced by the spleen and stored by the lungs. Dairy products, such as milk, cheese, cream, and butter also create phlegm.

Consider eating these food for Fall:

1. Fruits and nuts: apples, cranberries, grapes, energy-rich nuts and seeds (including walnuts and sunflower seeds)

2. Cereals, grains, and legumes: brown rice, corn, millet, oatmeal, sorghum, soybeans, black gram, adzuki bean, red kidney bean, broad bean.

3. Meat, poultry and fish: chicken, turkey, shrimp, carp, eel, chicken eggs.

4. Vegetables such as the root vegetables (including garlic, onion, carrot, potato, sweet potato, yam, and burdock), as well as squashes and gourds (including winter squash, acorn squash, and pumpkin) cauliflower, broccoli and all types of cabbage.

5. Herbs, spices, condiments, oils such as perilla leaf, peppermint, dandelion, honeysuckle flower, basil, parsley, wolfberry (gou gi berries), fleece-flower root, licorice, astragalus, rhubarb, ginger, pepper, honey, sesame oil.

[AlternativeAnswers] Boosting Memory Supplements

 

Good Morning!
 
Boosting Memory Supplements
 
Start your day right with these memory boosting supplements that give you antioxidant power, anti-aging protection, a lift in energy and encourage your memory function.
 
Ginkgo Biloba is the most scientifically researched plant extract for the nutritional support of cerebral function. Ginkgo leaf extracts augment the vasoregulating activity of arteries, capillaries, and veins to maintain health circulation to the brain and extremities. Enhanced cerebral circulation improves intellectual functions such as concentration, memory and alertness.
 
 
Super Omega 3 Fish Oil is known for being rich in unsaturated fatty acids and provides rich OMEGA-3 fatty acids, (Pure EPA 360mg/DHA 240mg). Alaska Deep Sea Fish Oil are made from natural marine lipid concentrate and are essential to normal human cell and tissue growth and maintenance. If not found regularly in the diet, the diet must be supplemented. These fatty acids are especially abundant in brain cells, nerve relay stations (synapses), visual receptors (retinas), adrenal glands, and sex glands.
 
 
B12 and the associated B vitamins, are essential for normal formation of blood cells, and also support vision health, a healthy nervous system and energy metabolism. B12 bounds to the protein in food. Hydrochloric acid in the stomach releases vitamin B12 from proteins in foods during digestion. Once released, vitamin B12 combines with a substance called intrinsic factor (IF). This complex can then be absorbed by the intestinal tract. Vitamin B12 helps maintain healthy nerve cells and red blood cells. It is also needed to help make DNA.
 
 
Vitamin B12 is naturally found in foods that come from animals, including fish, meat, poultry, eggs, milk, and milk products. Fortified breakfast cereals are a particularly valuable source of vitamin B12 for vegetarians. If you decide to use a B12 supplement, take 3000 to 4000 mcg per day for 4 weeks. This will not only boost your memory, but it will increase your energy and mood, as well.
 
 
Folic acid and folate are forms of a water-soluble B vitamin. These occur naturally in food and can also be taken as supplements. Foods such as leaf vegetables including spinach and turnip greens are high in folate as is dried beans and peas, fortified cereal products, and some other fruits and vegetables. Some breakfast cereals (ready-to-eat and others) are fortified with 25 percent or 100 percent of the recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for folic acid.
 
 
Acetyl-l-carnitine is a molecule that occurs naturally in the brain, liver and kidneys. Acetyl-l-carnitine is a carrier of fatty acids across mitochondrial membranes, where energy is produced within each cell. Acetyl-L-Carnitine has become one of the premiere "anti-aging" compounds under scientific investigation, especially in relation to brain and nervous system deterioration. Acetyl-L-Carnitine helps to enhance cognition.
 
 
CoQ10 has been shown to optimizes cellular energy and work as a powerful antioxidant, boosting immune support. CoQ10 is an essential nutrient for cellular bioenergetics and antioxidant protection. This makes it a major player in increasing blood to the heart and brain.
 
 
Vitamin D3 is an essential nutrient that works with Calcium to help develop strong bones and teeth.* This highpotency Vitamin D supplement also assists in maintaining a healthy immune system.* If you're not getting enough Vitamin D every day, you may not be able to adequately absorb Calcium from the foods you eat, and your body will have to take Calcium from your bones.* Scientific evidence also indicates that increasing Vitamin D intake can support the health of the pancreas and colon.
 
 
Vinpocetine is reported to have cerebral blood-flow enhancing and neuroprotective effects. It is widely marketed as a supplement for vasodilation and as a nootropic for the improvement of memory. Vinpocetine has been shown to selectively inhibit voltage sensitive Na+ channels, resulting in a dose dependent decrease in evoked extracellular Ca+ ions in striatal nerve endings. Therefore, Vinpocetine may help support brain functions such as concentration and memory by activating cerebral metabolism.
 
 
People who take Vitamin C regularly, consistently score higher on memory tests. Vitamin E is complimented by Vitamin C and work in great synergy to improve brain function. Vitamin C acts primarily in cellular fluid. Vitamin C scavenges free radicals and cleans up waste products. In addition to its anti-oxidative activities, vitamin C benefits many other body functions.
 
 
Carotenoids, of which beta-carotenes are the most popular, are found in many fruits and vegetables, animals, plants and microorganisms. The body converts beta carotene into Vitamin A. Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin essential for vision, growth, cell division, reproduction and immunity.
 
 
As we age, a neurotransmitter, acetylcholine, may decline. This chemical is responsible for the excitatory actions in the brain. A shortage of acetylcholine in the brain has been associated with Alzheimer's disease. Some help maybe available in this brain-saving supplement, phosphatidylserine, or PS. It is reputed for its ability to stimulate production of the acetylcholine. Consider taking 100mg of PS three times a day for 12 weeks.
 
 
Iron should be considered. Taking 8 mg for men with the recommendation for women is 18 mg. Iron is vital to the body's formation of red blood cells, which help carry and store oxygen throughout the body. Plant sources of iron include dried fruits, whole grains (including wholemeal bread), nuts, green leafy vegetables, seeds and pulses. Other foods rich in iron but which are usually eaten in smaller amounts include soya flour, parsley, watercress, black molasses and edible seaweeds.
 
 
Zinc is an essential mineral that is found in almost every cell. It stimulates the activity of enzymes, which promote biochemical reactions. Zinc supports a healthy immune system, is beneficial for wound healing, will maintain your sense of taste and smell and is needed for DNA synthesis. Foods that contain zinc include oysters (the most zinc), red meat and poultry. Other good food sources include beans, nuts, certain seafood, whole grains, fortified breakfast cereals, and dairy products. Zinc absorption is greater from a diet high in animal protein than a diet rich in plant proteins. This can be taken in your multi-vitamin for men and for women.

[AlternativeAnswers] Coping with Death

 

Good Morning!

Coping with Death

Death has been very close this year.  From the sudden loss of my dearest mentor and friend, the passing of my young cousin and godmother to the greatest loss of all, my father.  Death has made its presence known.

I have learned this year, that there are really no ways to prepare yourself for the moments when it occurs. You can tell yourself it is forthcoming or try to envision what life would be like without them. You can even prepare your will and estate for such a day, but when the moment arrives, there is no preparation. 

On the Holmes-Rahe Stress Scale, death of a spouse and death of a family member are number 1 and number 5, respectively. In the case of my father, he was ill for over 4 years, so in many ways, my mother, brother and I had time to "prepare", in some way. With the loss of my mentor, it was very sudden. I felt that we were going to grow much older together and yet, he left this world as quickly as he came into it.  In the case of my cousin, her death from breast cancer was a long and painful one. This death seemed unresolved and unfair, while with my godmother, her Alzheimer's diagnosis left her bed ridden and speechless for years. So in some ways, death was a welcomed relief. 

In each case, I found my heart and mind going through an entire range of emotions.  Fits of crying one day, then laughing the other. Some days, it would be a conglomeration of both.  I also watched as my mother, brother and family expressed thier grief in many different ways.  

I have learned that there is no right or wrong way in coping with death, only awareness.  This awareness has shown me how to understand the process better.  By observing how people react and bringing attention to my own responses, I have learned to be conscious of the events, objects, thoughts, emotions, or sensory patterns that present themselves each day.

Grieving such losses are an important part in moving forward. Until we grieve in our own way, we are likely to find the present, a difficult place to live in. The end product of our grief is peace. Getting there does not mean having to drown yourself in tears, feel guilt or anger around the loss or feel like you need to forget in order to move forward. Getting to a place of peace with someone's transition comes with awareness.  

Realization can bring to the forefront, a hard reality. But, it is through this realization that we must rally to its truths.  My mom is now alone on a large farm, by herself. I am now made aware of the fact that I have to be there for her, even more. My cousin left a wonderful husband and two children behind. I found it important to try and understand how they must now cope with their loss. My mentor only left his books, work and intellectual properties behind. Helping to keep these projects alive, are now my mission.

With someone's passing, expectations become evident.  But, it is the letting go of these expectations, which will allow you to let the "natural" grieving process unfold. We are geared to handle this process, yet our need to control it, often steps in. We may think that we are suppose to "feel" a certain way or grieve for a certain amount of time. If we release these expectations, observe our own processes and be more aware of them, we will find that grieving is an active process. Grief is ever-changing and constantly evolving. 

This active "unfolding" of emotions must allow us to accept the finality of the loss. No two people grieve exactly the same way, but it is important to acknowledge the full range of emotions we experience and to express them in a healthy and balanced manner. This "balance" also gives us a way to adjust our own life, after our loved one is no longer with us. As we tend to pour all our efforts into finalizing our loved ones' wishes and consequently, not giving ourselves adequate nourishment, attention or even love. 

Accept help when it is offered. Talk about your situation with someone you trust. Give yourself time with things you love. Try to maintain healthy eating and sleep habits. Journal about your experience or help someone else with a project or plan.  These acts of self-balance will help you to grieve naturally without control, expectations or feeling you have to grieve by any set of rules, other than your own!



In happiness,

[AlternativeAnswers] Dream BIG September: Dream Research and PET Scans

 

Good Morning!

Dream BIG September: Dream Research and PET Scans
 
There has been a lot of research done on dreams and dreaming. The research I focused on was the work done with the PET scan. (1)
 
The Positron Emissions Tornography have been used to measure various rates of blood flow through the brain.
There is basically two major Phases in Sleep. NREM - non rapid eye movement and REM - rapid eye movement. NREM sleep is the beginning of the sleep cycle. In NREM, the average brain activity decreases - proportionately the rate of blood flow decreases.
 
So areas such as the Reticular Activating System which is the area involved in arousal and wakening, shuts down. Areas involved in muscle movement shut down. But, regions involved in the consolidation and retrieval of memory did not decrease in blood flow, but the pathways that bring information to and from this region did shut down, therefore isolating them metabolically.
 
About 90 minutes into our sleep pattern we experience REM sleep. REM sleep is produced by the excretion of Acetylcholine in the Pons. (2) Suddenly, the Brain Stem begins firing electrical impulses through the brain. Heightening breath, heart rate and sexual arousal and sends impulses through the cortical and subcortical regions. Some regions of the brain's metabolic rates wind up being higher than when we are awake.
 
An area of gray matter, located at the Occipito-Temporo-Parital junction is activated. This is where the brain performs the highest level of processing of perceptual information.
 
Our emotional brain - The Limbic System increases with blood flow and our memory and sensory processes connected to simple vision and hearing in the Diencephelon and Medulla increase but the Primary Visual Cortex region in the Occipital Lobe did not show much of an increase in blood flow. Normally, an increase in activity in the lower areas cannot occur without an increase in the Primary Visual Cortex.
 
But, in REM sleep, the brain will activate the lower areas and begin integration of visual patterns. This is what is speculated to be the make-up of imagery and symbols in our dreams. (3)
The Prefrontal Cortex, which is divided into four regions, plays a central role in our self-discipline, gratification restrainment and controlling one's impulses. This region is typically inactive during REM sleep. except for one of the four regions. This is the deep white matter of the frontal lobe with large fiber pathways which transmit the chemical Neurotransmitter Dopamine from the Mid Brain to the Frontal Cortex.
 
So with the Limbic emotional brain extremely active and the self-disciplinary Prefrontal Cortex mostly inactive, it is believed to be the reason why we have such disinhibiting dreams (4) such as flying, falling and fantasies.
