The researchers of this study plan to further evaluate whether gut microbial changes are the reason that certain diseases worsen under stress. It's a vicious cycle-stress alters the gut microbiota, which leads to worsening of symptoms, which adds more stress… and on and on.

When Prevention Magazine is touting it, you know people are listening-cell phone radiation is hazardous to our health. The National Institutes of Health has reported that cell phone radiation increases the amount of glucose in the area of the head closest to the phone.

Did you ever think that what goes on in your gut could affect your heart? It may seem far-fetched, but it's not. Think about it: the intestinal lining is connected to the bloodstream, which acts as a direct communication line with the heart and the rest of the body.

Omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil are high in EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). These fatty acids have been associated with heart health, joint health, brain health, gut health… the list goes on and on. The two often go hand in hand, and for most conditions, researchers don't know the perfect ratio of EPA to DHA. But for infant health, DHA is the fatty acid that shines.

Optimum heart health involves paying attention to a lot of different factors. There's cholesterol (but not just cholesterol-there's good cholesterol, bad cholesterol, total cholesterol, oh my!), triglycerides, blood pressure, and inflammation markers like C-reactive protein - not to mention omega-3 levels and even vitamin D! Trying to look after your ticker is enough to make your head spin.

Food Allergy and Sensitivities-A Growing Problem - 0 views

Food allergies and sensitivities are essentially the result of a breakdown in gut mucosal immune regulation in response to food antigens that pass through the gut. The gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) makes up about 80 percent of the body's immune system, and it resides in and around the gut. The job of the immune system in the gut is to respond to foreign invaders, like pathogens, by destroying them

House renovations can introduce a host of toxins from building materials, and can put pregnant women and children at risk of toxin exposure. If you can avoid renovating during these times, that would be ideal. However, if renovation must be done, be sure that all dust is properly cleaned up each day, and that the renovation area is well sealed off from living areas.

Did you know there is a link between Alzheimer's disease and cholesterol levels? This has been known for sometime, actually. Middle-aged adults with high total cholesterol levels-even moderately high-are more likely to develop Alzheimer's. And, very high HDL (good) cholesterol levels in older adults puts them at reduced risk of Alzheimer's.

Lead is a neurotoxin, associated with lowering IQ levels in children and with fertility problems in adults. Lead can remain in the body for many years. Experts are still discovering the adverse health effects of lead, and as this occurs, acceptable levels of lead in many products are continually lowered.

Parabens are antimicrobial preservatives used widely in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and even food and beverages. Referred to as "weak xenoestrogens" (which means they have mild estrogenic properties) parabens may be able to interfere with natural hormone activity in the body. They've even been associated with breast cancer development, and scientists have found high concentrations of parabens in breast tumors.

Being as passionate as I am about digestive health, I talk a lot about the good bacteria in your gut and how important they are for a healthy body―especially a strong digestive and immune system. While there's a lot more to the connection that scientists are still working to understand, it gives you a pretty good idea about just how important the bacteria in your gut really are when it comes to developing a strong and healthy body

Think about it, when was the last time you washed your hands with soap that wasn't antibacterial? Heck, it's almost impossible just to find normal soap these days, and instead every label and package screams "antibacterial" in a way that makes plain old soap seem downright ineffective.
