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.
