Top 12 Health Benefits of Walking

Walking is very beneficial to many aspects of our health and well-being. Regarding sounder, deeper sleep resulting from taking walks, studies at the University of Arizona have found that walking more than six blocks a day at a normal pace significantly improves sleep at night for women.

Scientists suspect that walking helps to set our biological clock into a consistent sleep pattern. Walking can also help increase “endorphins”, which are protein-like chemicals made in the brain that can have a relaxing effect, a pain-relieving effect, and can also reduce stress and increase well-being.

Exercise such as walking may also be one of the most effective ways to reduce menopause symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia, and heart symptoms, according to a study from the Annals (Journal) of Behavioral Medicine.

For those of us who work in an office, its important to stand up and stretch and take breaks to walk around at least once an hour to keep things moving and healthy in the body. These walking breaks are important for muscle and bone health, as well as for the heart and other organs. Better yet, go outside and get a new view of things before settling back down to work in the front of the computer!

Check out the twelve best benefits of walking as found in studies.

1. Reduces stress.
2. Limits sickness
3. Works arm & shoulder muscles
4. Builds Bone Mass
5. Strengthens Legs
6. Burns more fat
7. Lessens Glaucoma risk
8. Lowers Alzheimers risk

Antibiotic use can Increase Nerve Damage Risk (as reported in The Tribime. London, UK

LONDON: A common class of antibiotics—used to treat respiratory and urinary tract infections—may increase a patient’s risk of suffering a serious and potentially permanent form of nerve damage by almost 50 per cent.

Scientists from the University of Dundee in the UK looked at a database of 1.3 million adults issued one or more prescriptions of fluoroquinolone or amoxicillin-clavulanate antibiotics with no diagnosis of peripheral neuropathy at the outset of treatment.

Peripheral neuropathy has long been recognised as a potential side effect of fluoroquinolone antibiotics—that are commonly used to treat a variety of illnesses such as respiratory and urinary tract infections.                  

The study, published in the journal JAMA Neurology, found that current use of systemic fluoroquinolone antibiotics appeared to increase the risk of peripheral neuropathy by 47 per cent, causing an additional 2.4 cases per 10,000 patients per year of treatment.

A person prescribed with amoxicillin-clavulanate were not significantly more likely to experience peripheral neuropathy.

The risk was higher for men and rose with age and with the length of fluoroquinolone treatment. A peripheral neuropathy diagnosis remained more likely to be diagnosed for up to six months after the fluoroquinolone prescription.

Older men, the group most likely to experience the condition after taking a 28-day course of fluoroquinolones, were said to have a one in 34,000 chance of doing so.

While the absolute risk of a peripheral neuropathy diagnosis remained low, the findings should still be considered as one of the different potential side effects before prescribing antibiotics, researchers said.

“The safety of fluoroquinolone antibiotics has received a lot of attention regarding their potential to cause long-term side effects in some people,” said Daniel Morales, from the University of Dundee.

“One of these is peripheral neuropathy where nerves, most commonly affecting the lower limbs, can be affected, leading to numbness, pain, or problems with balance,” Morales said in a statement.

“Fluoroquinolones are effective antibiotics but health care professionals should recognise that peripheral neuropathy may rarely occur following fluoroquinolone therapy,” he said.

“We observed that treatment with fluoroquinolones could increase the risk of peripheral neuropathy by around 50 per cent and that this risk may last for up to six months following treatment,” he said.

Vitamin B1 Thiamine Deficiency The Great Imitator of Other Illnesses

I recently had some sympotms and was assigning it to other things. I wound listening to an educational video and thought it might be liver/gallbladder. I decided to try the Gallbladder Formula and so many sympotms I had just disappeared. So it pays to get educated.

What about B1?

Some times you have lots of symptoms but no one can figure it out. Blood tests show "normal" ranges, and all the things that the symptoms might be don't show up. This is a very i nteresting deficiency as it looks like so many other things. B1 is vital to health.

Top 8 Tips to Optimize Your Blood Sugar Level

If you consistently consume a high-sugar, high-grain diet, your blood glucose level will be correspondingly high and over time your body becomes desensitized to insulin, requiring more and more of it to get the job done. Eventually, you become insulin resistant

Insulin resistance is one of the easiest health problems to correct. Eight of my top tips for optimizing and maintaining a healthy blood sugar level are reviewed

Intermittent fasting promotes insulin sensitivity and improves blood sugar management by increasing insulin-mediated glucose uptake rates. I recommend starting your intermittent fasting routine and monitoring your blood ketones as you go along. Once your fasting ketones are greater than 0.3 mmol/L, start incorporating partial fasting as described in Keto.

If you are healthy, your fasting blood glucose upon waking should be below 90 mg/dL. Before meal time, your glucose level should read between 70 to 99 mg/dL. After meals, the level should be below 140 mg/dL

Radically limiting net carbs and increasing healthy fats are also important for blood glucose control, as are drinking plenty of pure water, eating more nuts and seeds, and strength training
