How to Detoxify Your Body When You Have an Autoimmune Disease
If you live with an autoimmune disease such as Crohn’s, celiac, lupus, fibromyalgia or similar condition, your body is much more sensitive to toxic load from stress, the environment and your diet. Chances are your body also has a harder time eliminating these toxins, leaving you tired, drained and irritable. This article will explain how to detoxify your body when you have an autoimmune disease.
What is Oil Pulling?
If you haven’t heard of the traditional Ayurvedic treatment called oil pulling, then you are not alone. Even though oil pulling has been used for thousands of years, it has recently been introduced in Western culture as being effective in treating a variety of different conditions and illnesses.
Oil pulling is essentially like rinsing out your mouth with mouthwash, only you use sunflower or sesame soil instead as both liquids are known to help cleanse and heal your body, mouth and sinuses from toxins.
Natural Supplements: Hype or Help?
Battling maladies like flu, the common cold, or depression often involves
doctors prescribing strong doses of medications. However, because these drugs often consist of harsh chemicals, people at times suffer side effects like hair loss, diarrhea, and dry mouth. In fact, some individuals may suffer more severe effects that include dizziness, headaches, coma, and even death. For this reason, natural supplements continue to be a popular first line of treatment for conditions that may otherwise be treated by conventional medicine.
Indeed, supplements like peppermint have been proven to be effective in treating colic in babies. Even more, peppermint supplements help calm people with frazzled nerves or those who suffer from stress and depression.
The Health Benefits of Coenzyme Q10
How This Incredible Compound Can Heal the Heart, Boost Energy and Treat Cancer
You may have already heard the name coenzyme Q10 or CoQ10 on the news, read about it in a magazine or seen it on your local health food store shelf. This powerful antioxidant is gaining popularity because of its ability to prevent premature aging, boost immunity and treat certain types of cancer. And that’s not all! Read on to discover how CoQ10 can benefit your health and why it should become a part of your disease-prevention arsenal.
What is Coenzyme Q10?
Coenzyme Q10, also known as ubiquinol 10, was discovered in the 1950’s as a naturally-occurring compound produced by the human body that is responsible for basic cell function and disease prevention.
Patients with certain autoimmune diseases such as cancer, Parkinson’s, diabetes and HIV/AIDS and those of advanced age are reported to have less natural CoQ10 in their bodies, which may contribute to both chronic disease and age-related illness. Certain prescription drugs are also known to reduce natural levels of CoQ10.
In addition to maintaining basic cell function, CoQ10 is a powerful antioxidant, which is responsible for fighting free radicals in the body. Free radicals cause physical disease and premature aging by destroying living cells. Though they have always been produced naturally by the body, outside influences such as environmental pollution, cigarette smoking, prescription and over-the-counter drugs and processed foods have sped up this degenerative process at an alarming rate.
