Americans spent more money last year on bottled water than on iPhones, iPods or movie tickets: Billion. For a natural resource that most of us have access to for minimal cost, water is doing pretty well as a revenue generator. Find out how to avoid the danger of low quality bottled water.

What to Eat by Marion Nestle - A Nutrition Book Review
I stumbled upon the book What to Eat by Marion Nestle, when friend suggested that she wanted to buy it. From the reviews I have read, the book has some very powerful and practical guides connected to everyday eating that can save you from adding tons of useless fat and sugar in your system and to help you make healthy choices for your future and your children's future.
There is even a section on environmental degradation as related to food production. In relation there is a section on how environmental practices and fish production are causing major pollution of fish up the food chain. Knowing such information is very important to us, buying such foods leads to more and more pollution of the environment and eating heavy metals.
One of the strong points I noted is that, the author leads you through the supermarket aisle, in every section going through labels and the long chemical names used. You will be a more informed consumer and the best part is that you will avoid eating food coated with poison like substances.
For the most part there is always the confusion of the terms natural and organic and companies that sell packed food use the term natural to lure unsuspecting customers to buy their products. It is therefore wise to have a book that will walk one through the labels and make one a very informed customer.
The book is 600 pages long, with a clear advice to eat less, consume more vegetables and fruits and exercise to keep healthy. Although this has become a cliche it is worth noting. Having writers who come up with detailed information on the subject are more than welcome.
I am giving what to eat a five star because I am a mother and even though it may not work with everyone, it is important to breastfeed. The author shares some information pointing to the fact that formula milk is contaminated and poses a danger when give to premature babies.
What to eat is a perfect addition for nutrition and fitness books. It is written by a nutrition professor so you know they are the words of an expert. What to eat, is currently available for a very low price, cheaper than the amount you will use to order pizza and soda in as single meal.
The only downside with the book is the high number of pages. It is about 600 pages long. But considering that it has different sections it can be kept for reference to be used time and time again.

Sorry for Soy
Soy is hiding everywhere. It's in cereal and supplements. It's in canned tuna, soups, breads, and meats. It comes in aliases such as textured vegetable protein, and lecithin. During the processing of soy, toxins are produced like glutamate (MSG), and aspartate (aspartame) and you know, these cause brain-cell death.
You thought soy was good for you. That's what the soy industry would like you to believe. But the reality is soy is bad. Soy causes hormone problems and digestive problems. Soy disrupts thyroid function and fertility. Soy has even been linked to cancer. It is an allergen.
In the United States the soybean is America's third largest crop (harvesting 73.8 million acres in 2002). After it is harvested, it is highly processed, just like almost everything else, and has been causing health problems for decades. If you are consuming soy on a regular basis, you may want to catch up on the other side of soy.
Here are some facts:
Soy is not a complete protein
Soy is not a natural food
Soy has many contaminants
Soy is among the most processed of commercial foods
Almost all soybeans are genetically modified
By the time you eat it, soy is inedible; you cannot digest it nor use it as anything for nutrition.
I'm sure you don't eat margarine anymore but if you do, here's the story, the soy story. It began in the 1930's when Dupont took soybean oil; the non-commercial processed byproduct of soy production, heated the oil to over 410 degrees, and forced hydrogen gas into it for five hours. After a few other chemical changes--wa-la--you have margarine. It is a few small molecules away from plastic. It lasts forever but it sure can spread nicely.
It gets worse. Have you heard of Canola oil? You can find it in any grocery store. You can't buy Soy oil, you have to buy Canola oil. There is no canola bean, bush, or tree. Canola oil is a compound word--the word is derived from the two words--Canada and oil. Canola oil comes from the rapeseed plant, a genetically engineered soy product. You thought margarine was bad. The human body has never encountered this food-like product of man. It is completely foreign and it will be a matter of time (years, decades) to uncover all the problems Canola oil will have done. The marketers have made sure Canola oil is lost in most of the products you buy.
Back to soy. The miracle food wannabe. It comes in many forms. You've seen them but just never understood what they meant. Here's a list:
"vegetable flavoring"
"natural flavoring"
"vegetable shortening"
"hydrolyzed protein"
"textured vegetable protein"
Soy products are labeled for your protection by the trustworthy FDA and they are packaged by the companies you have eaten from for years. Recognize these companies that use genetically altered soybeans?
- Crisco
- Kraft salad dressings
- Nestle's chocolate
- Parkay margarine
- Isomil and Prosobee infant formula
- Wesson oils
- McDonald's French fries
- Doritos
- Tostitos
- Ruffles
- Pillsbury foods
- Similac infant formula
You mean they never told you the beans were genetically engineered? This list is not complete.
Yes, soy is everywhere. It is far more prevalent than you would have even imagined, causing problems you never would have imagined.
Go to the market and get the foods you recognize and eat them. Do not eat things that are not food. These things are stressing your body. You do not need any more stress in your life.

Panic Attack Remedies: Nutritional Healing
In order to find out why we have panic attacks - and what can be done about them, it is a good idea to eliminate our physical health and causes of our attacks - before embarking on a course of prescription medication and therapies - which may simply mask the true problem.
Many people have found that they had severe anxiety attacks, tried traditional panic attack remedies, and found no relief; and finally in desperation found out that they had food allergies, or were hypoglycemic, or were very sensitive to stimulants. After they made the changes to their diets, they were astounded at the results.
I recently read the story of a woman who had severe anxiety. She had tried prescription drugs - anti-anxiety medication, and antidepressants. She finally found a physician who diagnosed the root of the problem - food allergies. She was severely allergic to milk - and milk products like cheese, yogurt, sour cream, etc. She realized, to her dismay, that she was consuming a whey protein milkshake everyday. When she made the necessary adjustments in her diet, she found significant improvement in her anxiety. She told people reading her blog entry: "I'm happy to say that I'm feeling much, much better"!
Many other foods are not panic attack remedies, and have been found to increase your chances of becoming anxious - whether or not you are allergic to food:
Alcohol: Although drinking a glass or two of wine, or a cocktail can certainly relax you, it causes a significant drop in blood sugar. This effect will be the strongest in the morning - after indulging in an adult beverage the night before. It can cause shakiness, anxiety, and significant irritability. In addition, it can disrupt the sleep cycle. The alcohol can make it easy to fall asleep - only to wake up a couple to a few hours later - and be unable to get back to sleep.
Meat Fed with Hormones: Cows are given six hormones - including estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone. They are not destroyed at high temperatures - so we do consume them. In addition, they are given a hormone to artificially stimulate their growth. This hormone (rBGH) has been found to cause cows milk to have a slightly higher level of insulin - leading concerns about increasing the chances of getting diabetes for people with that predisposition. In other words, the hormones in meat can alter the hormone level in people - which could lead to anxiety and panic attacks. Altered estrogen levels can do this. The low blood sugar caused by increased insulin can also affect anxiety levels. As a result, it is advisable to look for hormone-free beef (or limit it), and eat fish. So far, fish is safe (as long is it is fresh and not genetically engineered in some fashion.
Preservatives: Since preservatives often have a high level of salt, it is best to avoid processed foods. It can also lead to potassium depletion which causes achiness, fatigue, anxiety, and irritability.
Salt: Salt depletes the body of potassium, a mineral important to the proper functioning of the nervous system. Avoid foods with salt additives and watch how much salt you add to food. Low potassium can lead to fatigue and irritability. It could also by extension aggravate the anxious to the point of panic.
Stimulants: Caffeine (coffee, tea, sodas etc.), nicotine and drugs (recreational - such as marijuana, cocaine, LSD, prescription - such as antidepressants, amphetamines, steroids, nasal decongestants (which increase norepinephrine and adrenaline), asthma medications, and diet pills) can stimulate metabolism, in some cases create low blood sugar. Nicotine depletes the body of nutrients (vitamins and minerals). It also is a mild central nervous system stimulant and a stronger cardiovascular system stimulant. It constricts blood vessels, increasing the blood pressure and stimulating the heart. People who smoke are often thin and nervous. The nicotine can rob them of appetite and sleep, as well as cause them to have chronic anxiety. It could lead to a panic attack when a more stressful situation arises. Caffeine can make some people feel shaky - and a bit "high". Often, you'll hear people say: "Give me a few cups of coffee, and I'm climbing the ceiling".
Sugary foods, refined foods, and foods high in carbohydrates: When eating foods with a high content of sugar, or refined foods (such as white flour), and other foods high in carbohydrates, it can cause a reactive response from the body in the form of an insulin release. This can lead to hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia can cause severe anxiety and panic attacks. On the other hand, foods to eat that improve anxiety levels - and provide panic attack remedies are as follows (most of these foods contain Vitamin B 5 which enhances energy and stamina by supporting the adrenal glands, and decreases stress and Biotin which decreases stress, anxiety, fatigue, and insomnia): Beef: This meat contains Vitamin B1 and Vitamin B3 (Niacin) which improves brain function and decreases stress, Vitamin B6 (Pyroxidine) improves brain function, decreases stress and fatigue, and is a mood stabilizer. It also contains Choline, 5HTP, L-Tryptophan which decreases depression, anxiety, and migraine headaches, and Inositol which improves depression and anxiety.
Chamomile Tea: This tea contains apigenin and luteolin (both which are flavonoids, and have antioxidant properties). Chamomile promotes relaxation to the point of inducing a relaxing sleep.
Chocolate: In a study performed recently in Switzerland, the Nestle chocolate Research Center scientists studied the effects of dark chocolate on people's stress hormone levels. After two weeks, blood and urine tests showed that chocolate lowered levels of stress hormones in all volunteers, but there was a bigger drop for the high-anxiety people than for the low-anxiety people. It contains Magnesium which improves brain and nerve function, and muscle contraction. (We knew it had to be good for us!!"
Dairy: In general, dairy foods contains 5HTP which reduces depression and anxiety, L-Tryptophan which decreases depression, anxiety, and migraine headaches and Calcium which improves muscle contraction and relaxation, and nerve function. Milk contains B12 which improves brain function, enhances energy and stamina by supporting the adrenal glands. Cheese contains Vitamin B12 which improves brain function, enhances energy and stamina by supporting the adrenal glands.
Eggs: Eggs contain Vitamin B3 (Niacin) which improves brain function and decreases stress, and Vitamin B12 which improves brain function, enhances energy and stamina by supporting the adrenal glands.
Fish:(Contains Vitamin B3 (Niacin) which improves brain function and decreases stress, Vitamin B6 (Pyroxidine) which improves brain function, decreases stress and fatigue, and is a mood stabilizer. It also contains Choline, 5HTP, L-Tryptophan which decreases depression, anxiety, and migraine headaches, and Inositol which improves depression and anxiety. Fish with bones contain Calcium which improves muscle contraction and relaxation, and nerve function.):
1. Herring - Rich in Omega-3 fatty acids - which lower levels of stress hormones.
2. Tuna - High in lysine (a neurotransmitter). A study in 2004 found that men who experienced high levels of anxiety had a diet fortified with lysine. They immediately felt better as result. Eat about 4-5 ounces. It contains Omega-3 fatty acids found to lower adrenaline and cortisol (lowering anxiety and panic).
3. Salmon - Contains Omega-3 fatty acids. Studies have found that omega-3 fatty acids may ease anxiety symptoms by lowering levels of stress chemicals such as adrenaline and cortisol in the body.
4. Sardines - Rich in Omega-3 fatty acids - which lower levels of stress hormones.
5. Fishoil - This also contains Omega-3 fatty acids, reducing anxiety. It also helps to reduce heart disease, and improve immunity.
Fruit(contains Chromium which reduces mood swings and anxiety). Some recommendations are as follows:
1. Blackberries
2. Raspberries
3. Rhubarb
4. Strawberries
5. Bananas - High in potassium (lowering irritability and fatigue). But the sucrose content could drop your blood sugar - causing hypoglycemia. So balance them with protein. Also contains Vitamin B6 (Pyroxidine) which improves brain function, decreases stress and fatigue, and is a mood stabilizer.
Honey: A 2009 study from New Zealand found that rats that were fed high-oxidant honey were less anxious when running in a complex maze - than animals that were fed sucrose. It is certainly a better choice than sugar.
Oils: Seed and vegetable oils contain Omega-6 which reduces stress.
Pork: Pork contains Vitamin B1: which improves brain function, nervous system function, is a mood stabilizer, enhances energy, and decreases stress and Vitamin B3 (Niacin) which improves brain function and decreases stress, Vitamin B3 (Niacin) which improves brain function and decreases stress Vitamin B6 (Pyroxidine) which improves brain function, decreases stress and fatigue, and is a mood stabilizer. It also contains Choline and Inositol which improves depression and anxiety.
Poultry: in general contains Vitamin B3 (Niacin) which improves brain function and decreases stress and 5HTP which reduces depression and anxiety, and L-Tryptophan which decreases depression, anxiety, and migraine headaches. Chicken contains lysine, which reduces anxiety.
Rosemary:Sprigs of rosemary have been noted to calm nerves and help people to think more clearly.
Sage: This herb improves memory, concentration, and anxiety.
Seeds and Nuts: Seeds contain Chromium which reduces mood swings and anxiety, and Omega 6 which reduces stress. They also supply Vitamin B1 which improves brain function, nervous System function, is a mood stabilizer, enhances energy, and decreases stress. Nuts contain Vitamin B3 (Niacin) which improves brain function and decreases stress, and contains Magnesium which improves brain and nerve function, and muscle contraction. Below are some recommendations - although most nuts and seeds are good for anxiety:
1. Flaxseed (and Flaxseed oil): Flax is an abundant source of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). This is an essential fatty acid that the body uses to make Omega-3 fatty acids (reducing stress).
2. Hazelnuts: Rich in potassium - and providing the same amount of potssium as a banana (reducing fatigue and irritability). They also supply Vitamin B1 and Vitamin B3.
3. Peanuts: Rich in potassium - reducing fatigue and irritability. It provides 500 mg of potassium (more than a banana). Also supplies Vitamin B1 and Vitamin B3, L-Tryptophan which decreases depression, anxiety, and migraine headaches, and 5HTP which reduces depression and anxiety.
4. Pine nuts: They are rich in potassium - reducing fatigue and irritability. Pine nuts supplies 500 mg of potassium (more than a banana). They also provide Vitamin B1 and Vitamin B3.

Water: Water is essential to help the body relieve itself of poisons through the kidneys, bowels, skin etc. It also helps to transport vital nutrients, hormones etc. to the rest of the body. As a result, people are happier, healthier, and less anxious.
Whole grain breads/cereals- such as wheat, or bran cereal, bread or muffins: These foods contain Vitamin B1 which improves brain function, nervous system function, is a mood stabilizer, enhances energy, and decreases stress, Vitamin B3 Vitamin B3 (Niacin) which improves brain function and decreases stress, Vitamin B6 (Pyroxidine) which improves brain function, decreases stress and fatigue, and is a mood stabilizer, B12 which improves brain function, enhances energy and stamina by supporting the adrenal glands. Wheat contains PABA which combats fatigue, irritability and anxiety. Grains also contain Choline and Inositol which improves depression and anxiety and Chromium which reduces mood swings and anxiety. Whole grain cereals contains Magnesium which improves brain and nerve function, and muscle contraction.
In conclusion, there are a lot of steps that have to be taken to achieve wholeness - for people who suffer from panic and anxiety attacks. Some people will find that by simply eliminating certain foods - that they are fine from then on. Others will find that the reason for their panic attacks is more emotional in nature (perhaps due to trauma) - or due to chronic ailments (diabetes, hypoglycemia, etc.). These people will need to maintain a lifetime of careful maintainance by using panic attack remedies such as great nutrition, therapy, herbal medicine, acupuncture, acupressure, seeing their physician, etc. Whatever it takes, it is worth it! You will save yourself years of suffering if you take care of you!

Nasal Irrigation Using a Neti Pot: For the Common Cold and Congestion
Nasal Irrigation is becoming recognized once again as an effective way to eliminate sinus congestion, battle the common cold and relieve allergies.
Why has it come back so strong?
People are tired of drugs and want a natural alternative treatment for allergies, the common cold and sinus congestion. Nasal irrigation using the ayurvedic neti pot is the way to go - cheap, fast and extremely effective.
Popping an anti-histamine or snorting one does not remove the problem. All it does is temporarily slow down mucous production. Then, once again, one finds themselves with drugs up their nose or down their throat.
How does nasal irrigation remove the problem? It doesn't entirely. That is a whole other topic which requires balancing the immune system, reducing stress, maintaining proper hydration and proper nutrition. To tickle your fancy though, freeze-dried nettle works really well as does quercetin.
But until one achieves this treatment, allergies persist and so does sinus congestion - especially now due to colds and flu bugs flying about. There must be relief immediately - and that is what the neti pot provides.
Basically, what the neti pot does is gently wash away excess mucous, bacteria, pollen, allergens and viruses from the sinuses. There is one main sinus that the neti pot can reach - the maxillary sinus which is on either side of your nose - basically inside the 'cheek bone'. When they fill with pus or mucous, it hurts. Not only does it hurt, but it provides a further haven for more bacteria and viruses as the immune system cannot enter. The door is closed.
Nasal irrigation opens that door by washing out the pus and mucous. Then, the immune system's IgA antibodies, which live on the mucous membranes of your nose, once again get back to work.
Can anti-histamines, aspirin, or tylenol do that? A resounding no.
Don't treat the symptom. Treat the cause of the symptom. It is sooo easy to do and it is so rarely done.
One must think, "Why do I have sinus congestion and pain on either side of my nose?" Mucous buildup. Ok. Why? I'm sick due to the common cold. Good. Why? I've been working my butt off at work. Understandable. What are you going to do about it? Take vitamin C. (studies show that it really does work when sick) That's a start.
What are you going to do about the pain and sinus congestion in your nose?
Going to do nasal irrigation with my neti pot. Good! Now we're talking!
Do you want to know how to use the neti pot correctly? Silly question, I know. Of course you do!
Basically, I recommend using filtered water as chlorine is drying and an irritant to the mucous membranes as it damages proteins. You may be thinking that this is good as you want to dry the mucous membranes out and chlorine can help kill the bacteria. No - not really. It takes quite some time for chlorine to kill bacteria for one. The other is you do want your sinuses to have their natural mucous secretions as it is they which carry the IgA antibodies. The IgA antibodies are what signal the immune system to kill the bacteria and viruses in your nose.
A little medical sidenote: 1 in 700 people are IgA deficient. This is not handy for obvious reasons. A neti pot is extremely important for these people. If you get sinus infections, colds and other sinus bugs frequently, you may want to get a test done seeing if you are one of the lucky winners of an IgA deficiency. It's a simple swab-up-the-nose test.
To use the neti pot correctly:
Fill the neti pot preferably with warm filtered or purchased water. Not cold or hot water. Must be warm. Add 1/4 teaspoon of pure salt. Do not use mineral salts or sea salts. Some people are allergic to shellfish and this will not help the situation. One can buy pure neti salt and it's not expensive. Normal table salt is fine also but it is processed like crazy - they use about 15+ chemicals to end up with pure white table salt. You didn't want to know that did you? You can add a pinch of baking soda also. This softens the water a bit so it's easier on your mucous membranes. I use a tincture called Neti Wash Plus and that comes with zinc or zinc free. Basically this is a mixture of anti-bacterials, anti-fungals, and immune support nutrients and herbs which are proven effective in research. It is pre-made and just simply add a dropperful or two in the neti pot. Only use this during mucous buildup and sinus congestion. Don't use everyday as it is designed to break up sticky mucous. If one doesn't have sticky mucous, then it will hurt your healthy thin mucous - which you now know, you need. I recommend doing this procedure in the shower. This way you cannot make a mess. You can also do it over a sink or sitting down with a big bowl on the table in front of you. Insert the neti pot spout into one side of your nose. Lean your head slightly to one side and forward a bit. This allows the medicated water to flow from one side of your nose to the other. This action pushes out the mucous and also drops off the medicated water in your sinuses. Stay in this head bent and tilted position while the water runs out - say for about 15 seconds. When 15 seconds is up, remove the spout and gently blow your nose. Do not block one nostril while blowing your nose as this forces the mucous up closer to your brain. Also do not blow forcibly as this will push the mucous into your ear canal. Just blow lightly - like a soft outward snort. Repeat on the other side. Do this about 2-3 times each side. Refill the neti pot as needed. I typically can do it sufficiently with one full neti pot. This takes about 3 minutes. Sounds like a lot of work but it's fast - especially as you do it more and more. Rinse out the neti pot or place it in the dishwasher to sterilize. I recommend buying one for each person of the family. This way you don't have to wash it so hard everytime.
You may feel one of two things: all cleared up and easier to breathe - or - stuffed up more than before. If stuffed up, don't fret or blow your nose hard. Just wait. The Neti wash plus tincture mix is working on breaking up the mucous and within a few minutes, you'll be searching for tissues as the mucous begins to literally flow out of your nose. It's pretty awesome how fast it works. Remember - do not blow hard and do not occlude one nostril. If you do blow hard or occlude one nostril, you have made your sinus congestion return - or worse, moved it into your ear.
Don't blow hard. You don't need to. The neti wash plus and nasal irrigation does all the work for you. You just provide the tissues and the trashcan.
Try to stay rested, relaxed and healthy. Not easy to do - but when you get a cold or sinus congestion - you now know what to do!
If you have any questions about nasal irrigation, you may email me. I'd be glad to help you out.
Some basic cautions with nasal irrigation. If you have routine bloody noses, don't do it. If you get a bloody nose, adjust the salt/baking soda/tincture ratio. If you still get bloody noses, stop as your mucous membranes may be too dried out. I don't recommend using the neti wash plus with zinc if your nose is sensitive. They make a neti wash plus zinc free which is also effective. Zinc is added as it stimulates the immune system. Also, don't use the neti wash plus unless you have sinus congestion or mucous buildup in your sinuses. A simple nasal irrigation with salt and baking soda is all you need if you have slight buildup - say from last night's sleep.
Which neti pot to choose? I prefer the stainless steel neti pot as I broke my ceramic neti pot in the shower when it dropped. The plastic neti pot is also handy as you can toss it into your baggage when you travel.
NPR did a special news report on the use of neti pots and nasal irrigation. Neti pots are making a strong comeback as a main treatment for sinus congestion and allergies.
The NPR quick summary: Morning Edition, October 12, 2005. An age-old technique that may have developed from yoga traditions is turning out to be a simple and effective way to combat the cold. Flushing the nasal passageway with warm salt-water can help prevent colds and bring relief to allergy-sufferers. by Patricia Neighmond

Good ol' NPR - they never cease to amaze me.
