Image
A Pantry Staple  Cured her Chronic Joint Pain Severe joint pain left Sonya Holland facing a lifetime of prescription meds…until she found the amazing remedy right in her own kitchen! “Not again. I can’t take this anymore,” Sonya Holland groaned as she woke to familiar agonizing pain shooting down her arms and legs. The Palm Springs, California, 71-year-old had been battling ever-worsening aches for months. It had gotten so severe, she recently had to stop working as a massage therapist. This morning, she could barely walk to the bathroom. This won’t do, Sonya thought fiercely. I’ve got to take charge of my health. No More Pain Having had enough, Sonya dragged herself to the doctor, who after running tests, diagnosed her with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), an autoimmune disease where the body’s immune system attacks its own tissue. “RA is an incurable illness, but there is medication that can ease the symptoms,” the doctor said.  But when he added that there were dietary and lifest...

How Doctors Speed COVID Recovery - Speedier COVID Recovery - Docs Who Got Sick Share What Worked for Them

Image
How Doctors Speed COVID Recovery While we’re doing all we can to avoid COVID-19, it’s normal to worry about how we’d care for ourselves if we became infected.  That’s why advice from doctors who’ve gotten sick and recovered is invaluable.  Here, their top tips 1. Steam In The A.M. A hot soak first thing followed by Vicks VapoRub helped urgent-care physician Jehanne Julien-Banica, D.O., of New York feel better while she was battling COVID.  “A 15-minute bath calmed the cough that hit when I woke up,” she says.  And applying the rub to her chest eased the burning sensation when she breathed.  Plus, studies show steam reduces the airway inflammation that triggers coughing, while camphor, eucalyptus and menthol in the rub open nasal passages. 2. Sip A Smoothie A body dealing with COVID breaks down muscle for energy to keep its systems running, says Sanjay Dogra, M.D., a pulmonary critical-care specialist in Michigan.  “But getting enough protein build...

Slash Stroke Risk by 73% or More!

 Slash Stroke Risk by 73% or More! If you’ve known someone to suffer a stroke in winter, there’s a reason why it might have happened then: According to Yale University researchers, chilly temperatures can tighten arteries and thicken blood, upping the odds of a clot.  Thankfully, experts say these comforting tricks offer protection all winter long! 1. Sip Hot Water Wake up with a comforting mug of hot water mixed with a tablespoon of fresh lemon juice and honey, and reach for a couple of tangerines throughout the day.  Both provide extra fluids that gently thin blood to ward off clots, says cardiologist Stephen Sinatra, M.D. “Plus, the vitamin C and bioflavonoids in citrus strengthen and heal your brain’s blood vessels.” No wonder Danish investigators say citrus-lovers are 42% less likely to have a stroke! 2. Cuddle Fido!

Depression…lifts! - The mood-boosting power of handcrafts

Image
 The Mood-Boosting Power of Handcrafts “Hand-based hobbies release dopamine in the brain, which heightens happiness” —Alton Barron, M.D. “When you use your hands meaningfully—by sewing, knitting or sculpting—you stimulate 60% of the neurons in the largest part of your brain, which releases dopamine, a hormone that helps you feel instantly calm and happy,” says Alton Barron, M.D., co-author of  The Creative Cure: How Finding and Freeing Your Inner Artist Can Heal Your Life . Plus, engaging these neurons lowers levels of cortisol to tamp down anxiety. In fact, British researchers collected data from 3,500 knitters, including how often they knitted and any health conditions they had.  Their findings: 81% of those with depression diagnoses reported that knitting boosted their happiness— significantly higher results than antidepressants! While creative projects like needlepoint and crocheting actively engage your hands for a boost in joy, Dr. Barron says other meaningful tasks...
