The research on the microbiome study at the Hughes Research and Innovation Laboratory confirms the study below. Synergy Worldwide created a simple kit containing the essential products for cleansing the gut, allowing for a reset of your gut health. These […]
Your Heart Depends on Selenium, CoQ10 and Vitamin K2
While 48% of adult Americans suffer with some form of cardiovascular disease, optimal levels of vitamin K2 MK-7 may reduce your risk for heart attack and stroke. Vitamin K2 also facilitates the movement of calcium from the blood vessels into the bone, reducing the risk of atherosclerosis. In one study the combination of selenium and […]
So Grandma Was Right – Cook With Lard!
For decades, saturated fats like butter, lard and tallow were said to cause heart disease. Responding to such health concerns, the food industry replaced saturated fats with hydrogenated oils that are loaded with trans fats, giving rise to a whole new market of low-fat (but high-sugar) foods. Americans’ health plummeted in tandem with this systemwide […]
Controlled Trial Study Shows Healthy Foods Reduce Depression
What you eat affects your mood and, beyond that, is powerful enough to influence symptoms of depression for better or for worse. Globally, healthy diets have shifted to diets that favor processed foods and refined sugars, and the burden of depression has also risen worldwide, with 300 million people affected. Depression among adolescents is also […]
PTSD Increases Risk for Stroke in Younger Years
Psychological factors, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), may be an important risk factor in cases of early-onset stroke. Veterans with PTSD were 61% more likely to have a transient ischemic attack (TIA), or mini stroke, and 36% more likely to have ischemic stroke than veterans without PTSD. Previous research also found that psychological stressors, including […]

Photosynthesis is the process wherein green plants or vegetables absorb light from the sun and transform it, along with minerals, water and carbon dioxide, into food to help them grow. It goes without saying that this is important not just to plants, but to humans and animals well. Oxygen, the chemical element that living organisms […]

Sleep deprivation has the same effect on your immune system as physical stress or illness, which may help explain why lack of sleep is tied […]
Low vitamin D linked to adolescent behavior problems
Children with vitamin D deficiency between the ages of 5 and 12 years were 1.8 times as likely to display behavior problems in later childhood, when they were 11 to 18 years old. “Externalizing” problems, such as aggressive and rule-breaking behaviors, were more common in adolescents who were vitamin D deficient as children. Low levels […]
3 Biggest Heart Disease Risks, Cholesterol Isn’t on the List
Contrary to the saturated fat/cholesterol theory, the most significant risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) are actually insulin resistance, Type 2 diabetes and the chronic inflammation associated with these conditions. The damage to interior layers of arteries that invites cholesterol-rich plaque buildup can also be induced by elevated blood sugar, smoking, stress and high blood […]
Insomnia linked to increased risk for heart disease
Recent research shows genetic predisposition to insomnia is associated with a significantly higher risk of coronary artery disease, heart failure and ischemic stroke, but not atrial fibrillation. Frequent or chronic insomnia is strongly associated with an increased risk of high blood pressure, a precursor and risk factor for heart disease. Compared to those getting seven […]
