'Ghee is a super clarified butter. It’s an ancient food and medicine that has its roots in India’s ancient Vedic culture. Ghee has been used by Indian cooks for millennia as it has a very high flash point of 485 degrees Fahrenheit – not to mention it tastes scrumptious. Regular butter only has a smoke point of 350 degrees Fahrenheit; one of the lowest smoke points of any cooking fat.'

'Almost “everyone knows” that Aloe vera soothes and heals minor burns and peptic ulcer attacks. But out of 240 species of Aloe, only three or four of them contain the powerful synergistic medicinal properties that have demonstrably cured AIDS and cancer.

Aloe Vera barbadenis is one of the more medicinally powerful. Another is the Aloe arborescense plant, which studies have shown is even more powerful than the barbedenis variety. Both of these are available in organic whole leaf juices.

'Each and every day, you come into contact with a large number of items—many of which have health risks that can accumulate over time. Many chemicals appear safe yet aren’t, and are not likely to be suspected when your health starts failing. 

But other items that are part of the “standard” of contemporary living—such as electronics and even your office chair—can also do more harm than good in the long run. 
   
The list of offending items can certainly be made exceedingly long, but here I will list 10 everyday items that you’d be better off without. A recent article in Time Magazine lists even more items you should throw away for better health.'

4 Ways Mindfulness Can Enhance Your Happiness

 '“
It is the mind that translates good and bad circumstances into happiness or misery. So happiness comes with the purging of mental toxins, such as hatred, compulsive desire, arrogance and jealousy, which literally poison the mind. It also requires that one cease to distort reality and that one cultivate wisdom.” ~ Matthieu Ricard

Mindfulness is the new black. It is an effective mental technique, borrowed from the two thousand year old Buddhist contemplative practice and adapted to suit non-religious contexts, including boardrooms, corporations, hospitals, schools and sports teams.

It is a practice which supports the capacity to stay focused on what you are doing as you are doing it, a powerful antidote to the distractable nature of the mind and the information-overload of our digital world. When practised regularly, it can bring more calm and effectiveness into everyday life, reducing stress and enhancing mental capacity.'

'Many of us understand the importance of consuming organic foods and making detoxification a regular part of our health routine. Creating a healthy home environment is also part of the detoxification /clean living process. 

After learning about the health hazards of dryer sheets and toxic cleaning products you may have already eliminated these items from your home, but what about the bedroom? What toxins may be lurking there?

We spend one third of our lives in a bedroom sleeping and many times this room contains products that are detrimental to our health. So if you want to create a healthy living environment, your bedroom may be a great place to start.'

Vitamin D RDA Too Low, by Ten Fold

March 26, 2015

A calculation error may have skewed the vitamin D recommendations by the National Academy of Sciences (NAS),  Institute of Medicine (IOM). They are far too low, by a factor of ten, say researchers at UC San Diego and Creighton University. Researchers submitted a letter of challenge, published in the journalNutrients, which confirmed a calculation error that was also noted by other investigators using a data set from a different population.

Dr. Cedric F. Garland, Dr.P.H., adjunct professor at UC San Diego’s Department of Family Medicine and Public Health said his group confirmed findings published by Dr. Paul Veugelers from the University of Alberta School of Public Health, which were reported last October in the same journal.

“Both these studies suggest that the IOM underestimated the requirement substantially,” said Garland. “The error has broad implications for public health regarding disease prevention and achieving the stated goal of ensuring that the whole population has enough vitamin D to maintain bone health.”

The recommended intake of vitamin D specified by the IOM is 600 IU/day through age 70 years, and 800 IU/day for older ages. “Calculations by us and other researchers have shown that these doses are only about one-tenth those needed to cut incidence of diseases related to vitamin D deficiency,” Garland explained.

Robert Heaney, M.D., of Creighton University, wrote: “We call for the NAS-IOM and all public health authorities concerned with transmitting accurate nutritional information to the public to designate, as the RDA, a value of approximately 7,000 IU/day from all sources.” Garland noted, “This intake is well below the upper level intake specified by IOM as safe for teens and adults, 10,000 IU/day.”
