While it may be ok to work up a sweat during exercise or physical activity, night sweats are something completely different, and diagnosing it as just a symptom of menopause can do more harm than good.
The truth is that there are several things that can be causing your night sweats, and it’s important, for each reason, to see a holistic doctor and get it checked out, so that it isn’t just cast aside as a menopausal symptom. Continue reading “Ever thought about nature of Night Sweats?” »
If you knew that cancer has been around since the beginning of time, doesn’t the thought of a cure seem impossible? But what if you were told that cancer is actually not only on the rise, but didn’t exist in ancient history. That knowledge can lead to amazing breakthroughs in science, as well as hope for all of us that a change in our lifestyle may be a way to prevent the disease.
We see articles about it all the time. This medication now found to cause cancer, this activity now thought to lower the risk of cancer, this food linked to cancer or cancer prevention.

I’ll tell you what would happen to the average family ( not this particular one ), if it has to eat cheap food: the whole family would end up unhealthy, feeling bloated and tired. They also would gain weight. It’s interesting that there is a nationally known term as “fat poor.” We used to assume that people who are poor would be skinny, because they couldn’t afford to eat, but instead, the horrible truth is that they eat unhealthy, cheaper food, filled with sugar and starch that fills them up longer. A nice dinner out for a family who can’t afford a sit down restaurant is usually fast food, which is loaded in fat, but quick and cheap.
