This One Thing Is Crucial To Preventing The Flu

by Jessica.

As a physician I often used to hear flu shot discussions around the “watering hole” at the hospital as the days began to get shorter and cooler. Everyone who was hospital staff knew what was coming: the flu shot.

Regardless of our opinion, there is no question that this vaccine is pushed hard on all the employees. In fact, we were offered candy in exchange for the injection on our way into the cafeteria or ICU. In the electronic medical record, you aren’t permitted to move further in the patient’s charts until you declare whether or not they have had a flu shot, and if not, be prepared to have an answer for that. But is there only one way to prevent the flu? Is the vaccine really the best way? Are our bodies’ immune systems that incompetent on their own or are we possibly missing vital nutrients and minerals that help our bodies perform efficiently and fight off infections when needed?

In 2013, worldwide flu vaccine sales totaled around 3.1 billion dollars. The CDC reported 50,097 deaths from influenza and pneumonia in 2010. Of these numbers, only 500, or 1%, were taken from influenza and 49, 597 were from pneumonia. Unfortunately, the CDC regroups the mortality from influenza with the one from pneumonia. However, the great majority of deaths are clearly from pneumonia.

The 1918-1920 influenza pandemic and Spanish flu had the highest mortality ever reported for an epidemic worldwide. It ranks as the single greatest recorded mortality event in human history. It is roughly estimated that 675,000 Americans died of influenza during the pandemic. That is ten times as many that died in World War II! What is interesting, however, is that allopathic or mainstream medicine lost more than 30% of their hospitalized patients, while homeopathic hospitals lost only 3% or so. What was homeopathy’s secret?

Doctors Speak Out During the Flu Pandemic

For example, Dr Lincoln Graham claims to have lost none of the patients treated in his outpatient clinic. His regimen included a glass of spring water every hour, a colonic or enema daily, and to put the patient on a strict fast upon entry to the clinic. This makes sense to our bodies. Giving fresh water is healing as hydrogen and oxygen are vital components of our basic structure and of the structure of life. A fast gives the body time to heal as precious energy is not spent on digestion and breakdown of nutrients. Instead it can go to improving immunity and fighting off any invading pathogens. A short fast can actually rev up the immune system. Other successful holistic treatments included Gelsemium and Bryonia, a rhizome of yellow jasmine and root used to relieve constipation, respectively. All remedies that seemed to have success involved relieving the body of toxins through the bowels and adding in nutrients that continued to work with natural immunity.

According to Dr Frank Wieland, an MD in Chicago, “with 8000 workers we had only one death. Gelsemium was practically the only remedy we used. We used no aspirin and no vaccines.”

“I did not lose a single case of influenza; my death rate in the pneumonias was 2.1%. The salycilates, including aspirin and quinine, were almost the sole stand-by's of the old school and it was a common thing to hear them speaking of losing 60% of their pneumonias.” – Dudley A. Williams, MD Providence

Dr. Roberts, a physician on a ship full of troops during World War I, reported that all men recovered and were landed safely. They all received homeopathic treatment.

Why the Flu Shot Should Be Reconsidered

What do all these different remedies have in common?

They all work preventatively by revving up the immune system and ridding the body of environmental and dietary toxins/chemicals so that natural detoxification systems can run efficiently. Unfortunately, mainstream medicine today is a symptom and disease based system that does a very poor job of ensuring that we don’t fall ill, but does an mediocre job of treating these ailments with for-profit based bandaids. Moreover, the influenza vaccines work on the premise of introducing an irritating factor to rev up immunity by foreign toxins. What exactly is in the flu shot? From the CDC website: thimerosal or Mercury which prevents contamination, aluminum salts to help stimulate the body’s response and is linked to Alzheimer’s, stabilizers like sugars or gelatin to keep the vaccine potent, egg proteins to ensure the virus growth in the medium, formaldehyde to kill toxins in the manufacturing process, and the antibiotic neomycin to prevent contamination by other bacteria. I’m not sure that is the way I will decide to increase my immunity, especially since last year’s vaccine only had a 19% success rate.

What are alternative ways to prevent illness like the dreaded flu bug?

Good hygiene like handwashing with organic castille soap, raw garlic cloves, oil of oregano, plenty of vitamin D, elderberries, ginseng, reishi and shiitake mushrooms, astragalus, local or manuka honey, slippery elm bark, licorice, exercise, lymph massage, yoga, meditation and other stress relieving techniques, Vitamin C, plenty of filtered water, and a plant based, organic diet is enough to avoid just about any virus. Avoid processed or fried foods, sugar, or excessive alcohol intake.

8 Ways That Energy Work & Coaching Can Change Your Life

How can you expect your life to change for the better if you begin to use energy healing and coaching as part of your regular practice?

As more and more people feel the stirring of their souls as the spiritual awakening takes place around the world, they’re beginning to seek out solutions, answers, and healing.

Often though, people don’t seem to know what to expect, do, or work with when it comes to energy healing and coaching, especially if they want to see results in all areas of their lives.

What changes can you expect to see in your life if you do embark on an energy healing and personal growth journey and how can you expect your life to improve if you stick to the path?

What Does Healing Change Look Like?

When you first start out on a healing journey, the changes you experience will be subtle and gradual, taking a few weeks to take effect. 

In fact, for the first few months and years of healing work you’ll likely shift many of the issues on a physical level, feeling physically ill.

Eventually, as you get further along your growth path and see more change, your capacity to accommodate and be comfortable with change will greatly increase and you’ll be able to allow bigger and more immediate change to take place in your system and life.

At a point you will be open enough to allow immediate change to happen – which is when you’ll experience your first major miracle release.

From here you will begin to feel almost immediate relief with energy healing sessions and will be able to use sessions to clear stuff before it settles into your system and becomes a long-term problem.

1. Your Emotions Change

Not only will your emotions change, pain you’ve been carrying for years will melt away like it never existed at all. 

You will experience deeper levels of love, bonding, and connection, supported by an ever-deepening foundation of peace and understanding, which will leave you secure in the knowledge that you will survive anything life throws at you – regardless of how dire things may seem right now.

2. Your Circumstances Change

One of the nice things about the spiritual journey is that you experience immediate and long-term improvements in all areas – and you’ll notice this in your circumstances. 

Incrementally things around you will begin to get better in your world as you release each new layer of baggage and you will experiences leaps that take you into new circumstances that match your new energetic vibration.

New opportunities will begin to arise for you in every facet of your life, and you’ll get to enjoy the exciting experience of watching the innovative and totally unexpected ways that the universe begins to open new doors for you.

3. Your Actions & Behaviours Change

The first time you drop a behaviour set overnight it is going to totally blow your mind. 

Where once you felt drawn to undertake a certain behaviour, now you won’t even think about it anymore. Likewise, you may work on installing a new behaviour and you’ll discover that the change to that new way of being just happens and requires no effort on your part whatsoever.

4. Your Beliefs Change

You will walk into a session believing that something is one way, and will walk out having had done a complete 180 – and you’ll feel like it’s been that way all your life. 

Once you get comfortable with this process and begin to resonate with the fact that it is the beliefs you carry that cause the physiological reactions in your body, you can begin to effect miracle healing changes, like restoring eyesight, for example.

5. The People Around You Change

One of the basic premises of spiritual and energy healing work is that, barring a certain few that you have spiritual contracts with, most of the people and relationships in your life are around to reflect to you what you need to heal in yourself – a process called the mirrors of relationship.

As you release issues and blocks in your life (the mirrors), you will find that people move out of your life and new people move into your life.

This can get rocky at times, because the people around you don’t always like it when you change what you reflect to them. On the whole it works out as a massive boost as you attract more and more positive people into your life with every new layer you shift.

6. Your Attachment Diminishes & Acceptance Grows

Attachment is one of those big spiritual lessons that you see everywhere because attachment really does cause a large percentage of the emotional pain and angst we experience in our lives.

As you shift out old patterns and habits and you begin to resonate (energetically align) with new energies in your life, what matters to you will begin to change too. Different elements in life will take on greater importance and things that once seemed critical will fade away into obscurity.

Over time and with experience and knowledge, you’ll find that it comes almost naturally to release and let go of what no longer serves you. From this space, aspects like surrender and acceptance will come much more naturally and easily than they did before.

7. You Experience Forgiveness

Forgiveness is the ultimate miracle, the ultimate release, because it causes a collapse of time that means that future karmic events do not need to take place in order to redress the imbalance the original circumstance created. 

Basically, in a nutshell, forgiveness is the tool that releases you from karma and being tied to this plane.

Anything that causes pain in our life is as a result of separation – separation from a person, a thing, an experience, a desire, a want, or a need. As each of these separations is healed and released, you make available more energy to you right now, here in this moment, pulling the energy back to you from the time it has been stuck in.

With each release of forgiveness you will find that your attachment to the situation completely melts away, and often you are even able to honestly welcome the offending parties back into your life with open arms and no hard feelings whatsoever.

With the strongest and truest forgiveness releases, once you’ve worked through the layers of stuff, forgetting is no longer an issue because it happens naturally when the forgiveness is so complete.

8. Breakthroughs & Surges Of Joy

For a long while, whenever someone asked me how I know spiritual healing is real and makes a true difference, my answer was the breakthroughs and surges of joy. 

There are going to be moments along your growth path where it will feel like a hellish uphill battle – many of them in fact, because this journey takes place in life; it is your very life.

However, as hard and as long as those periods are, they always invariably do end. When they end, two major things happen:

Firstly, you experience an unbelievably intense surge of joy that you are left in no doubt means you have stood next to God. It is a beautiful experience and your soul is so full that it can only sing thank you.

The second thing that happens is that stuff starts moving in your life at a miraculous pace, and everything that was blocked just begins to flow at once. Your world will literally change overnight.

Place This Mixture Under Your Tongue Before Bed And You’ll Never Wake Up Tired

People are constantly complaining that they feel exhausted almost every day. The majority of people sleep 6- 7 hours in average, instead of the recommended 8 hours of sleep every night. You may think that it is enough, but in fact the difference can have a huge effect on your body.

Namely, our body needs 8 hours of sleep in order to recharge. Also, caffeine cannot make up for the lost sleep, but it only provides temporarily results.

Luckily, there is a natural remedy that is amazing in cases of sleep deprivation, and all of us probably have it in the kitchen now.

The secret ingredient of this remedy is Himalayan sea salt.

Himalayan sea salt has numerous health benefits. It helps regulate melatonin, which is essential for sleep. Also, it can aid our adrenal glands fight disease and can even assist with weight loss. Surprisingly enough, it can even help with depression by regulating serotonin levels in the brain.

What you need to do is combine 5 teaspoons of raw, organic honey with 1 teaspoon of pink Himalayan sea salt in a jar. Then, before going to bed, place a small amount of this mixture under your tongue. The results are remarkable!

Moreover, note that turning off the TV and stepping away from the computer an hour before going to bed can be a huge help as well. This is due to the fact that our body needs time to calm down before going to bed, and these devices keep our brain’s functioning at a high level.

4 Research-Backed Ways to Boost Your Immune System During Cold & Flu Season

by Alexa Erickson

We try our best to view the winter season as wonderful. There’s Christmas, brisk walks through snow-covered streets, mountains to ski and snowboard down, the transition into layered clothing that can be fun to play around with, the necessity of a crackling fireplace, the desire to cuddle up, and the yearning for warm and comforting meals. Yes, it’s cold outside and the days are shorter, but each season is beautiful for its own reasons.

During this time of year, however, we’ll likely be spending the majority of our days indoors. We might be exercising less, spending more time on buses, trains, and planes, and even dealing with an increased amount of stress due to the feeling of being shut in and run down. These are all factors which increase our chances of falling subject to a nasty cold or flu. The thought of obtaining one alone can send you into a frenzy that ultimately has you loading up on the beneficial vitamin C to ward of the possibility of falling ill.

But vitamin C shouldn’t be seen as the only safeguard available to you. Become aware of as many options as you can so you can have multiple resources at your disposal. Here are four to take note of.

Focus on Food, Not on Supplements

Vitamin C has long been touted as an immune booster, making your consumption of fruits high in it important, but recent research has discovered that vitamin D and A are just as pertinent in the process. You won’t need to bother with supplements if you ensure you are eating a whole-food, plant-based diet. This means consuming vegetables that are in season and are rich in the vitamins for a healthier you, like carrots, yams, and winter squash — all rich in vitamin A —and cabbage, celeriac, turnips, and rutabagas, which offer up vitamin C. Vitamin D can be hard to come by in terms of food in the winter, and research shows that not getting enough of it can result in infections, so try to get your daily dose by going outside as much as possible to get it from the sun.

Other immune-strengthening foods include: garlic, turmeric, berries, and quinoa. You’ll also want to be aware of foods that hinder the correct functioning of the immune and digestive system, like simple sugars, dairy, gluten, and hydrogenated fats.

Be Mindful of Allergens

While the colder weather brings an end to seasonal pollen allergies, it doesn’t mean you’re not susceptible to the airborne kind. In fact, with the colder months come the onset of indoor living, making you more likely to become subject to such things as dust, pollen, mold, and pet dander — all of which irritate the respiratory tract, making you more likely to catch a cold or the flu. Keep your animals out of your bedroom and make sure you bathe them once a week. For mold, the EPA suggests  staying on top of and fixing plumbing issues, scrubbing surfaces that often result in mold buildup, like the bathroom and kitchen, and increasing ventilation in moist areas. For dust, regularly clean your linens, vacuum your floors using a HEPA filter, and perhaps try using a dehumidifier to ensure the humidity is under 50 percent.

Treat Your Gut to Good Bacteria

Prevention isn’t just about what you should stay away from, but it’s also about taking advantage of what will strengthen your body, too. For instance, research has found that maintaining a healthy gut flora can work to improve our immune systems, as the gastrointestinal system is thought to be the core of fighting off the bad stuff. Feeding your gut good bacteria works to lessen inflammation within it. Probiotics are a good choice. Try consuming things like kombucha, kimchi, and kefir as well.

Things that kill probiotics include antibiotics, excessive amounts of sugar, and stress. When your body has more bad bacteria than good, the resulting imbalance can cause a variety of issues, such as skin problems, food allergies, and mood disorders.

 Stop Stressing

 Easier said than done, right? Seasonal stress is a real thing and can weaken your immune system. This is because hormones, like cortisol, are released and trigger the thymus gland to diminish, which results in a reduction of immune activity. In fact, it’s been found that people who are stressed out double their chances of getting a cold. But how can you manage this?  Try relaxation techniques like deep breathing, meditation, and yoga, and make sure you get enough sleep each night, since a recent study suggests those who only catch five or six hours of shut-eye per night are four times more likely to catch a cold.

Hidden Research Has Recently Surfaced: These Seeds Destroy Cancerous Cells

We often use drugs and pharmaceutical products hoping that they can improve our health and well-being, and they are not supposed to do the opposite.

However, the British Medical Journal conducted a study about chemotherapy pointed out that it is one of the most shameful health misconception which has been killing people year in year out.

Namely, Dr. Hardin B.Jones, a senior professor at Berkley, whose main subjects are physiology and medical physics, measured the life expectancy in patients who underwent chemotherapy as part of their cancer treatment.

His findings were extremely surprising, and he stands behind them 100 %. He discovered that chemotherapy not only doesn’t work, but it’s also responsible for a much shorter lifespan and can cause a more agonizing death.

Contrarily, natural remedies are much more effective and don’t cause any negative effects on our health.

However, this natural medicine and its positive effects in the treatment of cancer even in the more progressive stages have been kept from the public because it can destroy cancer in just 48 hours.

A study by the University of Kentucky examined the positive effects of grape seed extract in the treatment of leukemia and other types of cancer. The findings from the study and the lab tests which were conducted afterwards showed that the grape seeds can eradicate 76% of all cancer and leukaemia cells in just 48 hours.

Furthermore, it was additionally revealed that grape seeds contain a protein called JNK whose main duty is to control the eradication of cancer cells.

This discovery was published in the journal of the American Association for Cancer Research.

The cancer industry continues to spread panic and causes unnecessary fear of mortality, despite all the studies which show the contrary. However, scientific researches are available to the public, and they show that if treated less intrusively and more efficiently, cancer doesn’t have to be that dangerous and it doesn’t have to have fatal consequences.

How To Use Himalayan Salt Lamps For Better Sleep and Mental Clarity

We suppose that a great number of you have probably tried and used the Himalayan rock salt for cooking purposes, so you know that it has immense health benefits in reducing blood pressure and cholesterol. Nevertheless, Himalayan salt has numerous other health benefits which can enhance your entire health, and can solve issues like headaches, insomnia, allergies and the like.

Namely, the development of technology and all other wireless devices used constantly pose a serious threat to our health and well- being. All the wireless mobile equipment releases certain positive ions into the environment, creating electronic smog which significantly harms our health. They can cause cancers as well.

In fact, our brain is exposed to 20 times more amount of electronic smog than what it can handle. Positive ions do not cause any positivity, but bring numerous health issues, such as insomnia, allergies, mental health problems and many others. Hence, it has become very necessary in today’s lives to neutralize these positive ions. This neutralization can be done by negative ions, of course, as opposites attract each other.

Luckily, the Himalayan salt offers the solution, as it is the source of these negative ions. When released, the negative ion attaches itself to the positive ions in its surroundings, such as dust, mould, irritants, allergens and the electronic smog, and it neutralizes them.

The health benefits are immense. It can relieve arthritis, respiratory illness, blood pressure problems headaches, migraines, and stress-related problems.

Furthermore, the air in the room is purified, fresh, the aura becomes positive and all around us turns into a lovely place, full of beneficial influence and friendlier energy. You are refreshed like you just visited a beautiful scenic location.

Most importantly, you feel relaxed, cool, calm and composed. The whole environment around you fills with freshness and positivity.

In order to enjoy these benefits of the Himalayan salt, you need to buy a Himalayan salt lamp first. It consists of a salt with a bulb which supplies light.

It works in the following way: the bulb heats up the salt, releasing the negative ions, whose aim is to neutralize the positive ions.

In a humid environment, the salt may appear wet because the salt attracts moisture from the environment, but the heat of the bulb makes it evaporated easily. All the positive ions are neutralized and removed.

Undoubtedly, the Himalayan salt is an incredible way to improve your day, your health and your entire life! These salts obtained from ancient oceans are meant to bring you happiness and welfare!

Early Warning Signs Doctors Claim Are a NORMAL Part of Getting Older

Dr. Talia Marcheggiani

Many health complaints are common, but not normal.

“I take migraine medicine everyday,” boasted L. She then went on to describe her plenitful medicine cabinet that, at the age of 23, she’d stocked quite well. “I get headaches when the weather’s bad, when I forget my glasses, when I’m hungry-” she went on. I repressed my immediate impulse to give her a list of supplements she could take and dietary changes she could make to never have another headache again, and simply said, “Well, L, you know I have a practice in the West end. If you want any more support…You can call—”

“—No, I’m good”, she responded, hurriedly. “I just need to find out how to get more of my medication.” The medication she referred to was high dose acetominophen, or Tylenol. She was taking 1 g pills and her doctor had told her that she could dose up to 4 g per day. Since 4 g will cause immediate liver failure, I was happy to learn she hadn’t needed to get that high… yet. What’s more, she wasn’t treating the cause of her condition. She was just addressing the symptoms, and consequently negatively affecting her health.

To use the car dashboard analogy, when your fuel light comes on and makes a noise while you’re driving on the highway, what do you do? Most people, without giving it another thought, will pull over to address the root cause of the chaos by adding more gas to the car. Very few of us will take out a hammer and smash the dashboard in. In fact, most of us cringe at how ridiculous the thought is. Imagine the entire naturopathic community cringing when they hear about someone swallowing several grams of Tylenol to smash out their migraine.

Pulling the car over to refuel and smashing the dashboard both serve to stop the annoying blinking and beeping of the fuel light. One of them is addressing the root cause and actually paying attention to what your car needs. The other is, well… I’ll let you come up with an appropriate adjective.

So this begs the question: why do we insist on smashing our symptoms away? The fuel light may be annoying, but drivers value its presence as a tool to let us know that we need to refuel lest we end up stranded on the highway without gas. The blinking light lets us know what is going on inside our car.

Why don’t we view our body’s symptoms in the same way?

I have patients who think that their depression is a part of them, or that the painful distention under their belly buttons after eating is “normal”. Sometimes we identify with our physical ailments to the point where they define us, as if it’s our lot in life to have acne or poor digestion or to be overweight—it’s not.

Dandruff, painful menses, seasonal allergies, aches and pains are not “normal.” Sure, they’re common. No, they don’t necessarily mean you have some life-threatening disease, and therefore your family doctor probably doesn’t have a reasonable solution for them, besides smashing at them with the hammers in their toolbox from time-to-time.

When I saw my first ND, I was excited at the idea that, even though my doctor assured me that the random, annoying symptoms I was suffering from were “normal”, they were in fact not normal and something could be done about them. From the ND’s standpoint, the symptoms were an indication of budding imbalances and treating them was preventing more serious conditions down the line. Feeling cold all the time and excessively full after meals weren’t just annoying symptoms, they were important messages from my body that things weren’t all right and that something needed to be done.

Is there an annoying symptom you’ve been experiencing that you’ve come to accept as something you just have to live with?

Latest News about Pumpkin Seeds

Pumpkin seeds—also known as pepitas—are flat, dark green seeds. Some are encased in a yellow-white husk (often called the "shell"), although some varieties of pumpkins produce seeds without shells. Pumpkin seeds have a malleable, chewy texture and a subtly sweet, nutty flavor. While roasted pumpkins seeds are probably best known for their role as a perennial Halloween treat, these seeds are so delicious, and nutritious, that they can be enjoyed throughout the year. In many food markets, pepitas are available in all of the forms described above—raw and shelled, raw and unshelled, roasted and shelled, roasted and unshelled.

What's New and Beneficial About Pumpkin Seeds

• Pumpkin seeds have long been valued as a source of the mineral zinc, and the World Health Organization recommends their consumption as a good way of obtaining this nutrient. If you want to maximize the amount of zinc that you will be getting from your pumpkin seeds, we recommend that you consider purchasing them in unshelled form. Although recent studies have shown there to be little zinc in the shell itself (the shell is also called the seed coat or husk), there is a very thin layer directly beneath the shell called the endosperm envelope, and it is often pressed up very tightly against the shell. Zinc is especially concentrated in this endosperm envelope. Because it can be tricky to separate the endosperm envelope from the shell, eating the entire pumpkin seed - shell and all - will ensure that all of the zinc-containing portions of the seed will be consumed. Whole roasted, unshelled pumpkin seeds contain about 10 milligrams of zinc per 3.5 ounces, and shelled roasted pumpkin seeds (which are often referred to pumpkin seed kernels) contain about 7-8 milligrams. So even though the difference is not huge, and even though the seed kernels remain a good source of zinc, you'll be able to increase your zinc intake if you consume the unshelled version.
• While pumpkin seeds are not a highly rich source of vitamin E in the form of alpha-tocopherol (they come in 31st among our WHFoods in terms of their vitamin E richness), recent studies have shown that pumpkin seeds provide us with vitamin E in a wide diversity of forms. From any fixed amount of a vitamin, we are likely to get more health benefits when we are provided with that vitamin in all of its different forms. In the case of pumpkin seeds, vitamin E is found in all of the following forms: alpha-tocopherol, gamma-tocopherol, delta-tocopherol, alpha-tocomonoenol, and gamma-tocomonoenol. These last two forms have only recently been discovered in pumpkin seeds, and their health benefits - including antioxidant benefits - are a topic of current interest in vitamin E research, since their bioavailability might be greater than some of the other vitamin E forms. The bottom line: pumpkin seeds' vitamin E content may bring us more health benefits that we would ordinarily expect due to the diverse forms of vitamin E found in this food.
• In our Tips for Preparing section, we recommend a roasting time for pumpkin seeds of no more than 15-20 minutes when roasting at home. This recommendation supported by a new study that pinpointed 20 minutes as a threshold time for changes in pumpkin seed fats. In this recent study, pumpkin seeds were roasted in a microwave oven for varying lengths of time, and limited changes in the pumpkin seeds fat were determined to occur under 20 minutes. However, when the seeds were roasted for longer than 20 minutes, a number of unwanted changes in fat structure were determined to occur more frequently.

Health Benefits

Pumpkin provide numerous health benefits including:

• Antioxidant support
• Mineral support
• Blood sugar management
• Anti-microbial benefits

For more details on pumpkin seeds' health benefits, see this section of our pumpkin seeds write-up.

Nutritional Profile

Pumpkin seeds contain a wide variety of antioxidant phytonutrients, including the phenolic acids hydroxybenzoic, caffeic, coumaric, ferulic, sinapic, protocatechuic, vanillic, and syringic acid; and the lignans pinoresinol, medioresinol, and lariciresinol. Pumpkins seeds also contain health-supportive phytosterols, including beta-sitosterol, sitostanol, and avenasterol. Pumpkin seeds are a very good source of phosphorus, magnesium, manganese, and copper. They are also a good source of other minerals including zinc and iron. In addition, pumpkin seeds are a good source of protein.

You Have Only 10 Seconds: This is How You Will Save Your Life in Case of Heart Attack!

In the case of a heart attack, people are really helpless, the heart rate begins to beat improperly and there are usually about 10 seconds to react before they lose consciousness.

Namely, coughing can provide a great help. Namely, you should cough energetically and continuously as you need to cough out some secretion and you should breathe in deeply.

Deep breaths will help you intake more oxygen, and coughing will cause a pressure on the heart and maintain circulation and a normal heart beat.

The breathing in and coughing should be repeated every two seconds continuously until some help is given to you by a medical person or the ambulance.

In case you already feel some improvement, wait for a while and then stop coughing. In this way, people which have just experienced a heart attack can get some time to go to the hospital and avoid severe consequences.

Why Your Legs Cramp At Night (And How to Stop it From Happening Ever Again)

Nocturnal leg cramps or leg cramps are terms for the pain in the legs which occurs while sleeping, and can wake you up in the middle of the night. Its reason may be prolonged hours of inactivity. In most cases, this pain occurs in the area in the calf, but can also appear in the thighs and feet as well. Both men and women can experience leg cramps and they occur more commonly in adults over the age of 50.

It can sometimes last only a few seconds and sometimes, more even couple minutes. Even though the pain can fade away quickly, the muscle soreness may linger for the rest of the night or even until the following day.

Leg cramps vs. restless leg syndrome

These two syndromes both occur during sleeping hours, but that is their only similarity, namely, they are two completely different phenomena, and they differ in a number of ways:

• the restless leg syndrome is more of a discomfort or crawling feeling in your legs.
• the restless leg syndrome does not cause pain or cramping, while nocturnal leg cramps do.
• Moving the leg in the restless leg syndrome offers relief – moving the leg in nocturnal leg cramps does not, instead stretching is required.
• the restless leg syndrome causes the desire to move the legs, while nocturnal leg cramps often prevent movement.

Causes and risk factors of leg cramps at night 

Nocturnal leg cramps can occur due to a number of reasons, but their exact cause is often unknown. However, these are the potential causes and risk factors:

• Standing or working on concrete floors
• Sitting improperly
• Sitting for prolonged periods of time
