Lupus: help is at hand

It is wise to work hand in hand with both a natural therapist and your doctor if you have symptoms that do not have clear explanations. Between the two practitioners they should be able to put you on the road to being much healthier and if it is an underlying illness such as lupus it is less likely to escape detection if you have two practitioners working together in your favour.

Calcium: the low-down

Quite often the words “milk” and “calcium” become almost interchangeable, especially with regard to children but milk is not necessarily a good source of calcium for the body. In fact many believe that dairy products should not be taken at all once the body is weaned since no other animal takes milk after weaning its young. There are also other instances that dairy products may not be good for you such as if you have sinus problems or the body is forming calcium stones.

Poison habits make us ill

Poisonous substances are around us daily and often we use them as part of our lifestyle without even really thinking. However over a period of time the poison has been entering our system for so long it could start to catch up with us and make us ill. There are many poisons also that we are not aware of and are disguised. Ultimately though, they could lead to serious health problems like diabetes, cancer, heart disease and even Alzheimer’s.

Salt and your health

Many have developed a taste for salt and need it as a habit to add to their food. Also there are different kinds of salts that the body does need in order to remain healthy so it is important to understand which salts we are talking about when we come out with such a general statement as the body needing salt. It takes about 20 times the amount of the grams of salt you have eaten to neutralise the chemical in your body and whilst your body is busy doing this continually you could be developing cellulite, arthritis, gout or even bladder and kidney stones.

Private: Emotional intelligence in children

This means being aware of how we feel, act and interact and to use those feelings to communicate with others. It becomes a two-way street of empathy and compassion between the two people involved so that the communication goes beyond the words. As busy parents we find this difficult between the juggle of work, running the house and bringing up the kids. If we are to grow emotionally we need to slow down and monitor our reactions and why we react the way we do.

Mental health and ˜bad’ therapy

It is very important to whom you entrust your mental health and emotional health. When you are looking for a therapist there are several things you need to be aware.

Cravings for carbs and sweets?

Keep a watch for the feelings that spark the cravings for carbs and sweets. Be aware also that some medications can stimulate your appetite. Anti-depressants, other prescription drugs, non prescription medical drugs and recreational drugs can often stimulate you to eat things you would not normally eat. If this is what is happening you need to be aware of it and discuss it with your doctor whilst perhaps looking for natural alternatives which may not have the same effect. Of course recreational drugs should be eliminated if you are going to be conscious about your health.
