 Allergy Free For Outdoors |
For
people who are allergic, allergens are everywhere. In allergy the immune system attacks materials
that shouldn’t cause any reaction, but for allergic people these materials are
interpreted by the immune system as dangerous intruders which should be
attacked. Hence for these of us who are allergic, there is no place safe -
restaurants with unknown ingredients, gardens and forests and even our own home isn’t safe if you are
allergic to dust.Usually
people suffer from allergies more outdoors than indoors; this is because there
are more allergens outside as pollens, flowers, animals etc, and since usually
allergic people will avoid having allergens indoors – such as rugs, animals and
plants. During spring and summer time it is more likely to have outdoors allergies – we
usually spend more time outside, enjoying the warm weather and the sun, everything
blooms and the sights are beautiful, but for allergic people, it can be not
such a colorful season. Tips
to deal with outdoors allergies: 1. Try
to avoid spending long period of times in gardens and forests, especially on
windy, or dry days when pollens are more likely to spread away. 2. Don’t
sow in your garden plants you know you are allergic to, and make sure someone
cuts off the branches at the beginning of spring. Be careful when trimming
trees in your surrounding, since pollens tend to scatter. 3. When
you feel your allergies begin, gently tap on your thymus gland, 3 fingers below
the clavicle in the center of the chest. This easy and simple treatment will
help you reduce the allergy symptoms. 4. To
strengthen your immune system – below the knee bones, on the inner side of the
leg, there is a dimple, press it on both legs for 3 minutes every morning. 5. Drink
plenty of water, allergy tend to cause dryness due to lose of fluids. Drinking
enough water can prevent dehydration, headaches and other pains. |

 | 5 tips for staying toxin free and keeping balanced
during the summer months with Dr. Helen Lee
1. Eat Fresh Fruits & Vegetables: It’s so easy to get
your hands on fresh fruits & vegetables during the summer. Choose a
multitude or rainbow of colors and varieties in order to get a wide spectrum of
nutrients. For example, the red fruits & vegetables tend to contain more
lycopene which has been shown to improve blood pressure, joint function as well
as protect from free radicals or oxidation. Green Fruits
also tend to vegetables & Fruits contain
chlorophyll, fiber, & pthalides which can improve sleep, blood pressure,
immune function and digestion. more cleansing to the internal body while vegetables are more
nourishing. In order to get the most
from your fruits & vegetables, eat them raw more than cooked for the natural
juices & enzymes whenever possible. 2. Breathe & get outside! The weather is on our side
during the summer! Fresh air & sunshine does a body great! Oxygen is our
connection to life. Breathing deep or belly breathing increases the amount of
oxygen which helps the body in infinite ways. more |
 The Pros and Cons of
Drinking Alcohol or To Drink, or Not to Drink, That is the Question Dr. Hugh Jenkins N.D., D.C.BTA Clinician “The broad
definition of an alcoholic is anyone who drinks periodically: weekend warrior,
beer with the boys, cocktail with lunch, etc.,” Dr. Jenkins explains. “Moderate
drinking is considered two or less drinks for a man and one or less drinks for a
woman per day.”Drinking
more than a moderate amount of red wine can result in an increased risk of
breast cancer as well as impairs the body’s ability to absorb proteins, fats,
vitamins and minerals which can lead to malnutrition. With the right amount,
however, the benefits of alcohol almost sky rocket over its
disadvantages. The Washington Post recently reported that people who have one drink of
red wine per day have a 20 percent less chance of having a hip fracture compared
to people who do not drink red wine at all. However, people who have two or
more drinks per day have a 40 percent increased chance of having a hip
fracture. This study suggests that people who have one drink per day have a
higher bone density than those who do not drink or drink too much. To better understand and
appreciate the balance alcohol, Dr. Jenkins provides some tips to consider:
- Moderation
- It is important to monitor the amount of alcohol that is being consumed on a
larger scale. If a person drinks two per
day, then that is a total of 730 drinks per year.
- Life Span -
Drinking more than a moderate amount of alcohol can result in a decreased life
span by 10-15 years. This is caused by damage to the central nervous system and
the immune system.
