Turmeric for Health

Good Day!! I hope you are well!!

Turmeric (curcuma longa) has been used for cleansing the liver and anti-inflammatory properties since the beginning for hundreds of years. Turmeric originated in India and is a main staple of the Indian diet. Turmeric is part of the ginger family. Turmeric has been used in Indian Ayurveda medicine for at least 6000 years to treat people of all ages of many illnesses.

The active ingredient in Turmeric is Curcumin. Curcumin has many benefits to promote health and life. The anti inflammatory properties of Turmeric help to increase blood circulation preventing blood clots and hardening of the arteries by dilating the blood vessels. Turmeric contains a chemical enzyme called Lipopolysaccharide which stimulates the body’s proper immune response, thus eliminating chronic inflammation in its tracks.

Turmeric also improves brain function by increasing a chemical called the brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). This increase in BDNF improves the brains function by allowing neurons to split/divide and multiply safely within the brain. It also helps to lower risk of brain disease. A lack of BDNF has been shown to cause depression and alzheimer’s.

Turmeric is very helpful for keep your weight under control. Many components in the turmeric stimulate the gall bladder production of bile. This improves digestion, improves breakdown of dietary fat & reduces symptoms of bloating and gas. Someone who is overweight has many cells around the belly and other areas which are inflamed and called fat. This can be caused by poor food quality, too much stress, too much alcohol or too much sugar. However these symptoms can be put into remission with supplementing turmeric into your diet.

Turmeric has been shown to help with cancer, leukemia and HIV. The cells associated with these sicknesses are put into remission and the symptoms start to subside after 3 days of supplementing with turmeric. Not only does it cause these diseases to go into remission it also protects against and prevents the tumor cells associated with these illnesses.

Some of these health problems are (but it is not limited to):
-Acne
-Anemia

-Alzheimers
-Bladder infection

4 Steps to Combat Stress, Shortness of breath, improve memory and energy in 40 minutes per day

Good afternoon! I hope you are well!

Many people today suffer from shortness of breath(S.O.B.). Yes that’s right shallow breathing. Shortness of breath comes from not being taught how to properly breathe by those in your environment when you were a young child/adult.Breathing deeply has so many wonderful affects on your body. Simply breathing deeper allows you to  relax  the body and mind, lose weight, communicate better, get rid of emotions, have more energy, reduce stress and many more benefits. Any person who suffers from S.O.B. will also suffer from a series of other chronic illnesses which are triggered by the inability to relax. Anxiety, low self confidence, depression, lack of motivation,lack of sex drive, low self esteem, migraines, muscle spasms, aneurisms, and many more illnesses. Some doctors overlook this as an actual medical condition, I don’t. I believe some other medical conditions are caused by first suffering from Shortness of breath There are only a few options:to breath deeply throughout your day, to meditate, to be on a respirator or to be hypnotized. By being mindful of your breath throughout the day;By concentrating on taking more deep breaths each day, you can change your life for the better in a short amount of time.

Low vs. High degree of shortness of breath.

Depressed vs. Not depressed

Normal healthy brain

As you can see the added stress causes holes in the Frontal lobe of the brain. These holes are in the exact spot where logical thought comes from. These logical thoughts are not emotionally charged and are allowed to use the whole of our communication and awareness powers. This can also be referred to as true communication, which is conveying your message without adding emotional stress generated by the listening party. True communication can not be reached when the body is in stressed situation.To combat a stressed situation while communicating take three deep breaths. If you are in situation where your emotions can be dealt with try this.

Transcendental meditation:

1)lay on your back or sitting in a cross legged pose in a calm and quiet place.

2)Focus on letting the earth absorb the energy out of your feet,legs, pelvis, abdomen, chest, back, hands, arms, shoulders, neck and head.

3)Touch your tongue to the roof of your mouth just behind your front teeth and touch your middle fingers to your thumbs. This creates an electrical connection.

4)lie in this position for 20 minutes while breathing deeply in through your nose and out through your mouth.

With just two meditation sessions a day you will feel great relief, feel more energetic, age slower, have better memory retention now and the memory of a 25 year old when you are 50! If you are already 50 don’t worry, this will help your brain recover!

If you have any questions or would like to comment, feel free I would love to hear about your life and experiences!

Take Care!
