Eat Your Way to a Healthy Heart
By: VitalityLink Finder    Saturday, Dec 31, 2011
The heart disease story is literally a heart stopper: Heart disease is the leading killer for both men and women. In fact, nine times more women die of heart disease every year than breast cancer. Treating heart disease too often sounds like a taste bud killer. Cut back on all those fatty foods you love like cheese, ice cream, cookies, and chocolate. This type of tasteless eating regimen forces even the best intentioned heart-health seeker to jump ship. Is it possible to eat your way to a healthy heart without sacrificing the most basic culinary pleasures? Eaters rejoice! Heart healthy eating  ...Read More

The Ayurvedic Flavors of Health
By: VitalityLink Finder    Saturday, Dec 31, 2011
Many centuries ago, the sages of India laid down elaborate, intricate instructions on how to eat so you can live a hundred healthy years. They called their system of healing Ayurveda. (Ayu=life, Veda=study of). In the ayurvedic scheme of things, you don't follow diet charts, calculate calories, or keep track of nutrients by the milligram. Instead, you come home to a basic, often forgotten truth, and that is: your nutrition needs are as unique as your thumbprint. In keeping with this core belief, ayurvedic healers urge you to eat foods that suit your individual body type. Do you feel the heat ...Read More

Water: The Fountain of Youth and Vitality
By: VitalityLink Finder    Sunday, Dec 25, 2011
Next to oxygen and breathing in fresh, clean air, water is the most important necessity of the body. Every cell in the body needs water to perform its metabolic work and the colon needs plenty of water to help flush out toxins and keep things moving in a timely manner. Since the planet is approximately 75 percent water, our body is approximately 75 percent water and our cells are around 75 percent water, the key to vibrant health may be as simple as the water we drink every day. Water is one of the fundamental elements of life. Finding pure sources of water is essential in this modern era ...Read More

Cornsilk - The Diuretic Born on the Cob
By: VitalityLink Finder    Wednesday, Dec 21, 2011
I remember the first time I heard the word “diuretic.” I was about ten or eleven and my mother was talking to a holistic doctor about a female friend who was retaining water faster than an old camel in a dry desert. The doctor quickly pronounced, “She needs to do a diuretic.” This doctor had a bad habit of running her words together. My young ears heard, “She needs to dye her ‘etic.’” This, of course, made no sense to me. I didn’t know where to find the “etic” on the body and the doctor was not clear on what color to dye it. ...Read More

Benefits of Utilizing Nutrition in a Subluxation-Based Practice
By: VitalityLink Finder    Wednesday, Dec 21, 2011
We know that given the proper flow of energy, the body holds innate wisdom to heal itself. Why, then, do we witness such disparity in patient response? Is correction of subluxation the only means at our disposal to assist our patients in achieving health and healing? Throughout the early years of my practice, I saw this disparity many times. Patients with identical symptoms and identical subluxation patterns, showed an amazing diversity of response to treatment. So I asked myself, what else was impeding or interrupting the innate flow through the body? After years of practice, I found one of ...Read More

Eat Chocolate Without Guilt
By: VitalityLink Finder    Monday, Dec 19, 2011
Scientists and food chemists have been studying the properties of chemicals in chocolate and concluded it has beneficial ingredients. Though chocolate has saturated fats, the darker chocolates contain nearly 54mg of catechins per 100 grams. That's the powerful anti-oxidant known to help prevent cancer and heart disease. By contrast, a cup of black tea contains a mere 13.9g of catechins. Green tea, however, is rich in catechins…though perhaps not as rich as chocolate! To Aztec, Mayan and Toltec royalty, chocolate (or xocoatl) was the nectar of the gods. But you had to be royalty to ...Read More

Nutrition & Feng Shui
By: VitalityLink Finder    Monday, Dec 19, 2011
“Please, let me finish my hamburger and French fries! I have no time to waste, my next appointment for a Feng Shui adjustment is just after my lunch. I am already stressed, I do not want to think about my food!” my friend was adamant. “Wrong!” I replied calmly. “Why wrong?” he said quite surprised. “Because” I retorted, “you follow the wrong way of life”. “Wrong way of life? Nowadays everyone is under stress and rushing after money.” He was now intrigued. “This is your perception.” My friend was silent, eyes ...Read More

Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease
By: VitalityLink Finder    Saturday, Dec 17, 2011
Conditions: heart disease
Throughout the 20th Century the average person's heart has been growing progressively sicker. Nutritionally inadequate diets, toxins, pollutants, physical inactivity, smoking and other factors have resulted in millions of people currently suffering from life-threatening heart conditions. Alternative medicine physicians believe that many of the causes of heart failure are reversible, using a multi-factorial process. Although heart problems often grow steadily worse, until the only thing conventional medicine can offer is a heart transplant, I have seen many reports of patients who were told ...Read More
