Health Benefits Of Himalayan Salt Water

 

Have you discovered the many health benefits of Himalayan salt in water? Otherwise known as sole water (so-lay), it contains 84 essential minerals and promotes healthy blood sugar making it ideal for diabetics.

As if this is not good enough, another benefit of drinking sole water is that it helps balance the body’s pH levels.

What Is Himalayan Salt?

It is said that Himalayan salt is the most beneficial and cleanest salt on the planet. It also promotes better sleep, boosts bone strength, and prevents muscle cramps.

Pink Himalayan Salt is also excellent for supporting a healthy respiratory system and cleaning out your sinuses.

It also helps lower blood pressure and is a natural detoxifier, flushing out toxins and keeping you hydrated.

The trace elements are naturally found in our bodies. This is why the health benefits are numerous.

Himalayan Salt In Water Benefits

Himalayan salt will also balance out your hormones. It is recommended that you drink it first thing in the morning on an empty stomach.

It is also antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and helps removes excess mucus from the body.

Himalayan Salt can also reduce sensitivity to allergies. It stimulates your digestive system and this helps to balance stomach acid.

It will also improve soreness in muscles and ease constipation.

It’s a powerful detoxifier that when mixed with water provides the body with electrolytes that are essential for staying hydrated.

Sole Water Instructions

Another exciting benefit is that it clears out excessive sodium in the body. This means you won’t retain so much water.

As a result, your heart doesn’t have to work as hard. Decreasing the body’s water retention, in turn results in  lowering blood pressure.

If you’re feeling bloated, Himalayan Salt assists with fluid retention, sheds pounds, and cleans out your colon, making you feel lighter and considerably more energized.

This is only for your information, kindly take the advice of your doctor for medicines, exercises and so on.

Best Homemade Natural Painkillers

We are fortunate to have access to several kinds of over-the-counter pain relievers, because daily life comes with bumps, bruises, and aches. Sometimes chronic conditions like arthritis, sciatica, or spinal stenosis can be behind the pain. Our first instinct is usually to reach for some acetaminophen (Tylenol), Motrin (ibuprofen), or naproxen (Aleve). They all do the trick.

However, despite relentless marketing to the contrary, these medications all come with side effects and are extremely toxic in doses uncomfortably close to the effective dose. It is easy to overdose. In fact, acetaminophen in the number one cause of preventable liver failure worldwide. Nothing else even comes close. These medications certainly have their place, but why not attempt a natural remedy first?

The 7 best homemade natural remedies on our list are all quite effective and come with virtually no dangerous side effects. You’ll be shocked to learn the old-timey dinner recipe that actually relieves pain.

And while we’re at it, did you know that people have actually been making tea with a close cousin of aspirin for many hundreds of years? Read on for these and other fascinating facts about natural painkillers.

1. Turmeric

Turmeric is instantly recognizable to curry-lovers because it is the spice that gives that signature dish its distinctive flavor and gold color. Besides tasting delicious, turmeric contains a compound called curcumin which is a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory.

It both prevents free radical damage to your cells and reduces the swelling that occurs in damaged tissues. A great deal of pain is caused by inflammation, which is why OTC ibuprofen, an anti-inflammatory more than a direct painkiller, is so often used for pain.

2. Willow Bark

Willow bark is actually quite similar to a common OTC painkiller because it contains salicin, a close relative of acetylsalicylic acid, i.e. aspirin. People have long chewed willow bark to relieve aches and pain, lower fevers, and reduce inflammation. These days, willow bark is sold dried for use in teas, or as a liquid or capsule supplement.

Because willow bark is so closely related to aspirin, it carries similar side effects. Prolonged use may upset the stomach, increase your risk of bleeding disorders, and slow down kidney function. It is not recommended for children and should not be mixed with other painkilling medications. Willow bark is not safe if you’re taking warfarin or any other anticoagulant medicines because of its association with bleeding disorders.

3. Epsom Salt

Some times an external remedy is just as effective as something you ingest. Epsom salt is a prime example. Soaking in warm water with Epsom salt can relieve bone and joint pain as well as muscle soreness. This treatment can also be a lifesaver for women with post-childbirth soreness and for anyone with arthritis or fibromyalgia.

It works because Epsom salt breaks down into magnesium and sulfate when dissolved in water, which then penetrates to painful areas. Magnesium, especially, has been found to play an important role in the way pain signals are sent from brain to body. It also helps regulate muscle contractions and reduces the symptoms of depression.

4. Bone Broth

Bone broth may have fallen out of popularity in today’s diets, but that’s a shame. Not only does it mean less of an animal is wasted, it also adds collagen, proline, glycine, and glutamine to Western diets now largely lacking these critical elements. Made from bones, marrow, and skin, bone broth is very flavorful and contains many nutrients that can reduce pain.

For example, bone broth contains chondroitin sulfate and glucosamine, which you might otherwise be dropping big bucks for in the form of a supplement. Due to its gelatin content, bone broth lubricates and reduces friction in your joints. The amino acids glycine and proline work to reduce inflammation,  build muscle, and repair tissue.

5. Cloves

Cloves are a sweet and spicy herb that can relieve pain whether eaten or applied topically. Cloves come whole, powdered, or in oil. Many people use clove to treat headaches, arthritis and other forms of inflammation, and toothaches. They may even be good for knocking out fungal infections, though more research is needed on this topic.

The painkilling compound in cloves is called eugenol, and it is found in lots of OTC ointments for pain. Straight clove oil can also be applied to gums in the case of toothache or to sore joints and muscles, but too much clove oil can damage skin so avoid using it for days on end. People who take blood thinners should skip cloves all together.

6. Comfrey Extract

A promising study of comfrey root cream has shown that it can do wonders for people with back pain. In the study, 95% of participants who received the comfrey cream as opposed to a placebo reported a significant reduction in their pain. Other studies have found similar results in the treatment of arthritis and ankle sprains.

Researchers think comfrey works because the roots and leaves contain allantoin and rosmarinic acid. It’s the rosmarinic acid that reduces inflammation and relieves pain, but allantoin is credited with accelerating the growth of new skin cells. However, comfrey should only be used externally as there is some concern that it may be carcinogenic when consumed.

7. Heat And Ice

Often used in conjunction with other medications, you may want to try the process of alternating heat and ice before popping any pills. Used together, this is one of the very oldest and most effective ways of knocking out pain caused by an injury or chronic inflammation. However, it needs to be done in the correct order to work.

First, apply ice to the site of your pain. This not only reduces swelling and inflammation, it numbs the area. Make sure to keep a towel between your skin and the ice to prevent ice burn. Then, after no more than 30 minutes, remove the ice, let the affected area return to room temperature, and apply heat. Once the inflammation has been reduced by cold, heat relieves stiffness and relaxes muscles that have contracted around the painful area.
 
Unless it is contraindicated by a pre-existing condition, any of these natural pain remedies are worth a try before you turn to OTC or doctor-prescribed pain medication. In the case of dandelion root, it is absolutely free, but many other natural remedies like heat and ice and Epsom salt are very inexpensive.

It’s good policy to use the least extreme and least expensive remedy that works for you, so you can only benefit from experimenting with the 7 natural pain relievers on our list. Just remember that none of them treat the underlying cause of pain, so a trip to your doctor may still be advisable. We hope you feel better soon!

Watermelons For Weight Loss: 3 Reasons To Load Up On The Summer Frui

It seems as if summer has arrived early this year. For nothing else can explain the sudden surge in temperatures. But, being the eternal optimists that we are, we chose to embrace all the good that the weather has brought along. For starters, the lovely seasonal fruits! The fruit carts are full of them already. Juicy and fleshy watermelons are one reason we are particularly so excited about summers. According to researchers, red fleshed water melon is a good source of lycopene, which helps lower the risk of heart disease. Citrulline, an amino acid in the rind and flesh of water melon, can stimulate better blood flow, normalise blood pressure levels and boost immune function.
1. Low Calories: Watermelons are extremely low on calories. You would be surprised to know that 100 grams of watermelon contains only 30 calories and 0 percent saturated fats.
2. Fills You Up: Did you know water melons are 92 percent water? So, load up on watermelons without guilt. The decent amount of fibre content of water melon also helps aid weight loss. Fibre takes time to digest, which means it stays in your system for long, and gives you a feeling of fullness.

It seems as if summer has arrived early this year. For nothing else can explain the sudden surge in temperatures. But, being the eternal optimists that we are, we chose to embrace all the good that the weather has brought along. For starters, the lovely seasonal fruits! The fruit carts are full of them already. Juicy and fleshy watermelons are one reason we are particularly so excited about summers. According to the book 'Healing Foods,' by DK Publications, red fleshed water melon is a good source of lycopene, which helps lower the risk of heart disease. Citrulline, an amino acid in the rind and flesh of water melon, can stimulate better blood flow, normalise blood pressure levels and boost immune function.

Did you know the juicy and delectable fruit may also aid weight loss?! Many of us have harboured many misconceptions about the delicious fruit along the way. For instance, many of us are weary of including water melons in our weight reduction diet, as we think it is too sweet and may undo all our work out efforts. On the contrary, eating watermelons may, in fact, help you a great deal in your weight loss journey.

Here are 3 reasons why:

1. Low Calories: Watermelons are extremely low on calories. You would be surprised to know that 100 grams of watermelon contains only 30 calories and 0 percent saturated fats.

2. Fills You Up: Did you know water melons are 92 percent water? So, load up on watermelons without guilt. The decent amount of fibre content of water melon also helps aid weight loss. Fibre takes time to digest, which means it stays in your system for long, and gives you a feeling of fullness.

3. Good For Muscle Soreness And Recovery: Watermelon may serve as a good post workout food, too. After a strenuous physical activity, it is natural for muscles to sore or even encounter a minor injury in the process, especially when you are just starting out. Watermelon may help heal the soreness of muscles and ensure speed healing of wounds. The compound L-citrulline, present in in watermelon, is converted into another essential amino acid (known as L-arginine) by the body, which helps to enhance blood circulation and relaxing blood vessels. This helps you to recover from the injury quickly and return to working out sooner.
How To Use Water Melon

1. Include Them In Salads: You can make yourself a delicious fruit salad with freshly cut watermelons. You can also throw in some kiwi, goat cheese and watercress leaves, and spruce it up with balsamic vinegar dressing and sesame seeds
2. Detox Drinks: Watermelons make for great excellent detox foods, too. Their high water content is extremely mineralising, and has a great alkalising and diuretic effect. Make yourself a refreshing watermelon juice or blend it in a smoothie with other healthy fruits and herbs like kiwi and mint.

3. Don't Toss Away The Seeds: No, you don't have to toss away the watermelon seeds yet. A  nutritionist, says, "Watermelon seeds are rich in lysine, which can work wonders for diabetics." The seeds are low in calories, rich in magnesium, iron and folate, which are an extremely important nutrient for expecting mothers.

Who said weight loss had to be a boring affair? Make most of the wonder fruit till the season allows.
