USE OF PINNACLE KIDNEY + IN TREATING TH DISEASE

Chronic kidney disease is simply a condition that many people have in which the kidney doesn’t filter as well as it did or could. The kidney has many functions, but most importantly it filters the blood of toxins or excess electrolytes, like potassium and calcium. Some people develop chronic kidney disease sooner than others. High blood pressure and diabetes are two of the most common conditions that cause people to develop chronic kidney disease. Chronic kidney disease is measured in stages, I-V. The higher the number, the more severe the disease is. Most people never “feel” chronic kidney disease. In all likelihood, you wouldn’t even know you had it without blood work. But, it plays a role in many decisions I make in your health.

Many medications are filtered out of the body through the  kidneys.  This means that when you have chronic kidney disease, some medications are dosed differently or even prohibited entirely. Over the counter medications such as ibuprofen(Advil or Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve) are harmful to people with chronic kidney disease, especially if used frequently. Unfortunately, many people who have chronic kidney disease also have arthritis or chronic pain. In those cases, medications like acetaminophen (Tylenol) or prescription pain medications may be more appropriate long-term choices. Some natural herb products or supplements, such as St. John’s wort, ginkgo or ones high in
potassium or magnesium, need to be monitored or avoided in chronic kidney disease. Medications as basic as antibiotics can require kidney function  adjustment, so it’s very important to work with your doctor and know your kidney function.

Chronic kidney disease can also cause changes in the body, such as anemia or bone disease. The kidneys secrete a hormone that stimulates bone marrow to produce blood cells. If the hormone is not secreted adequately, anemia may develop. The kidneys also help the body use calcium and vitamin D
properly. Without the full function of the kidneys, people may develop bone disease, such as osteoporosis.

Well, given all of this information, what can you do to prevent it? By far and away the most important things a person can do is regulate blood sugar and pressure. Blood pressure should be checked often and diet should be built around the DASH diet, a nationally recognized low blood pressure diet. Many resources for this diet are available online. Low sodium is key. Like I tell my patients: wherever salt goes, water follows.

The more salt, the higher the blood pressure. High sugar also damages the kidney. If you are overweight, or have  family history of diabetes, it’s important to have blood sugar checked. The DASH diet is also a good resource for sugar control. Simple sugars are to be avoided. Medications like I discussed are also to be used sparingly. Follow these guidelines, work with your doctor and you will be successful in preventing chronic kidney disease.

Pinnacle kidney /kidney+ is very helpful and plays an important role in recovering the kidney function naturally. You can vist http://www.pinnacleclinic.com/product-category/kidney/ for more information or make an Appointment with Will Shannon.

CHANGING YOUR ASSOCIATIONS TO FOOD


CHANGING YOUR ASSOCIATIONS TO FOOD

1. Switch the Mental Associations

1. Think of a food you dislike.

2. Mentally notice if the thought brings up a picture, internal dialogue, or feeling – it’s easiest to work with a visual.

3. Notice the qualities of the image or video, voice or feeling including location in your body.

4. Switch the food you want to have the same disdain for into this place.

2. Use a Quality Quantifier

1. Think of a food you want to dislike.

2. Notice on a scale of 0 to 10 how strong your desire is or was for it.

3. First increase the level of desire – to show to yourself you have control over it.

4. Then ask yourself “What would I need to think about, picture, say to myself to feel to take this to an X?” Where X represents a number 2-3 points below the current level.

5. Keep going until you take it to a 0.

You can then increase the number for a food you like

Pick a food in the alkaline section of the manual that you know is good for you. Ask: “What would I need to picture, say to myself, feel or think about this to increase my desire for this to an X? Where X represents a number 2-3 points higher than the current level.

 

3. Build A Compelling Future

Human beings get happy from knowing that tomorrow is better than today. It might be a future in this current life. For other people it is a transcendental future – that is a future in a future life. You need to work on who you want to be to get there. Ask yourself: “Is this meal choice or action consistent with the identity I’m building for myself?”

Nutrition Solution: What To Eat While Dieting

Our bodies need carbohydrates to function correctly. Why then have carbs gotten such a bad rap in recent years? One reason is because Australian eat too many of them. They snack on potato chips, pretzels, and ice cream even when they are not hungry. These are empty calories we do not need and almost all of them come from carbohydrates. These carbs turn to sugar in the body and are then stored as fat. The mass consumption of carbohydrates has lead to an alarming increase in cases of type 2 diabetes. That is why most doctors and dietitians are imploring Australian to stop snacking on foods that are high in carbohydrates.

List of Carbohydrates

It must be said that not all carbs are bad. Many of them should be included in a healthy, balanced diet. After all, the experts tell us that we should get around half of our calories from carbohydrates. Foods that contain good carbs deliver dietary fiber, vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals along with grams of carbohydrates. They are generally much lower in sugar content than foods we would assign to the bad carb group, which means that they are also naturally lower in calories and often lower in fat. Foods in the good carb group include fresh vegetables, fruits, beans and whole grains.

Reduce Stomach Fat

Most Australian mistakenly believe that sit-ups and crunches can help them banish their belly fat. But this is not the case. A good diets men focuses on food intake and burning calories, since there is no such thing as targeting dieting. That means that you cannot lose weight from a specific area of the body. Our bodies lose weight from everywhere all at once. Therefore, it is better to work the entire body, rather than wasting time overworking one particular area. Trust us; no amount of sit-ups will give you a diet belly without the right fat exercise and diet.

Which diet works?

There is the Kellogg Diet, the Pacific Diet, the Gary Null Diet, the Vitalinea Diet, and hundreds, maybe thousands more. How can anyone know which diet really works without trying dozens of them? The truth is that they can’t. And that very well may be the point. The diet industry wants to keep millions of overweight Australian dependent on them based on promises and celebrity endorsements. At the end of the day, the best diet is one that you are comfortable with. According to the Will Shannon- Australia's most well known Naturopath and Iridologist , it should help you cut your total caloric intake, but not by more than five hundred calories. Diet plans that ask you to reduce your calories by half are unsustainable and they may even be dangerous. He has designed medicine, and food products to the standards of the Australian and Chinese government, for many years, with the Australian Government maintaining some of the most stringent controls on complementary medicine in the world. If you want know more about him visit willshannon.com or his product and service website pinnacle Health Clinic.

He is paln to guide how to good diet program helps include a comprehensive exercise plan who combines weight training and cardiovascular exercises. Building muscle helps the body burn more fat and cardiovascular activities help us burn more calories than we consume, which, in the end, is how and why we lose weight.

How To Lose Excess Stomach Fat In A Hurry

Every great athlete eventually succumbs to age. No matter what sport he made his name in, injuries and age-related degeneration take their toll. Now imagine what Father Time has in store for the rest of us. If these phenomenal physical specimens can rarely play past their 40th birthday, what hope do ordinary people have?

Fast Fat Diet

It is all but impossible for an older person to eat the same way he did when he was younger without gaining weight. The reason for this is simple biology. After we reach the age of 30, our metabolism naturally start to slow down. Experts estimate that the decline may be as much as 1 percent each year. The good news is that this metabolic slowdown can be combated with a few simple dietary changes.

Diet Fat Burners

No matter our age, the human body digests carbohydrates quickly and efficiently. But this is actually a bad thing. After all, the more time and energy it takes to digest our food, the more calories our bodies’ burn. Simple foods like carbs can but broken down in no time, while more complex foods require more energy to digest.

Low carb diets work for two very simple reasons. Carbs do not burn many calories during digestion and they are burned before fat. And if you eat too many carbs, as many of us do, there will still be some left over after they are used for energy. These leftovers are then stored in the body as fat.

A free carb diet can help if it includes the foods glycemic level. This index lets dieters know which carbohydrates are safe to eat and which will expand their waistlines. Of course, exercise for stomach is also important.

Other Ways to Flatten Stomach

There are many stomach exercises that work. The only problem is that dieters often overwork their abdominal muscles in the hopes that the fat will quickly deliquesce. But that is not the case. There is no such thing as targeted weight loss. Our bodies lose pounds from all over, not from a specific area, no matter how hard we work it. However, that does not mean that crunches and sit-ups are not important. Abdominal exercises can add muscle to the stomach area, which will make it look more solid and less flabby.

When combined with the right e diets or raw foods diets, a gym rat can quickly lose his tummy in no time, no matter his age. You can find many effective diet and exercise tips on willshannon.com or take appointment from him. .

Naturopathy Nature boon

Medical Science has reached at a stage where we can expect cure for several diseases that in
the past were termed terminal. In this quest for medical excellence we have become so short
sighted that we have overlooked the most precious panacea of all ailments, the one most
important element of nature – WATER.

  Water is a vital component of human body right upto the cellular level and continuous
recycling is being done to maintain the human metabolism which results in a deficiency of 6 to
10 glasses of water every single day of our lives and this needs to be replenished.
  Nature has it’s own ways of signaling the deficiency but we humans  are so wired from  our
childhood itself that we conveniently ,albeit  catastrophically ignore these signals and avoid the
thirst for nature’s divine drink.

  First thing to start a day is by drinking 2-3 glasses of water to set right the dehydration as a
result of sleep and remember , this early morning drink is an effective laxative too. We should
drink water almost 30 minutes prior to our meals and excess water intake has to be made when
suffering with indigestion , back pain , headache , high fever , etc. Aerated drinks are no
supplement for pure fresh water as they have caffeine which stimulates the kidneys to speed
up the water elimination process.

  Water has preventive as well as curative properties as far as treatment of disease is
concerned. It is the carrying agent of all vital nutrients, minerals, proteins to various body parts
and prevents various diseases  ranging from chronic heartburn to blocked arteries.
We sprinkle water on face unconscious person which gives immediate desired result by
stimulating sensory nerves. Steam inhalation gives instant respite in cold, cough and sinus
related problems. Ice is applied on sprains and nasal bleeding. Also, water at varied
temperatures is used in certain forms on specified body parts to cure various diseases by hydro
therapy. Enema is a very well know use of water in naturopathy. Cleansing of stomach with
warm water is cold Vaman Dhauti & cleansing of nostrils with water for better respiration .

Water, a natural resource is a prevention and cure of many a diseases and helps us to stay
healthy & happy naturally.

Growing use of Herbal Medicines

There has been a tremendous acceptance of natural therapies including the use of herbal medicines and phytonutrients or nutraceuticals for the treatment of various health challenges. The use of herbal
medicinal products and supplements has specifically increased over the past three decades with not less than 80% of people worldwide relying on them for some part of primary healthcare. Therapies involving these agents have shown promising potential with the efficacy of a good number of herbal products having clearly been established.

Herbal therapies are a balanced and moderate approach to healing that is particularly known to
promote a healthier living. Herbal medicines consist of plants or unpurified plant extracts containing
several constituents which are often generally believed to work together synergistically to treat disease and enhance well being. They can be used to treat a range of disorders including anxiety, arthritis, depression, high blood pressure, insomnia, hormonal imbalances, migraines, skin problems such as eczema and other disorders. It medicine aims to return the body to a state of natural balance, so that it can start healing itself.

International studies have shown that plants are capable of treating disease and improving health, often without any significant side effects. They can act on the body as powerfully as pharmaceutical products provided treated with care and administered by a naturotherapist. Furthermore, consumers have started preferring natural therapies as they are effective in treatment of certain diseases where
conventional therapies and medicines have proved ineffective or inadequate. Now herbal remedies are not only available in drug stores but also in food stores and supermarkets. Clearly, natural herbs
have emerged as an affordable alternative to modern medicines and form an integral part of
complementary medicines that have been gaining popularity in the recent times. (For more details on

Organic Food – The Pinnacle of Healthy eating


The dilemma at the grocery shop remains the same ever since contamination in fruits, vegetables and grains has become known to one and all. The question is should we settle for the regularly (using chemical pesticides) grown cheaper produce or opt for the organically grown costlier option.

 To understand this all pervading question, it would be better to uncover the difference in the process of growth involved in the two cultivation methods - the difference is soil fertility. In organic cultivation the Nitrogen present in the composted soil is released slowly and hence the crop grows at a normal pace with the nutrients in natural balance. The cultivation involving conventional fertilizers emphasizes fast growth with lesser allocation of energy to the development of nutrients.

 The result is quite evident to all, natural balance is anytime preferable to rapid imbalanced growth. Let us now make way to the cost – benefit analysis to the above.

  The organic foods are without doubt costlier and hence the approach we might apply to balance the impact on our pocket is dividing the produce into categories such as most contaminated, contaminated and least contaminated. The most contaminated category has Apples, Peaches, Strawberries, Grapes, Potatoes, Lettuce, Celery, Spinach, etc. The contaminated category has Cauliflower, Plums, Oranges, Bananas, Cucumbers, Peppers, Beans, Cranberries, etc. The least contaminated has Mangoes, Cabbage, Eggplant, Kiwis, Watermelon, Mushroom, Asparagus, Onions, Avocado, Pineapples, etc.

The most contaminated ones should be preferably taken as organic produce , the contaminated ones should be organic if the budget allows, and the third category is entirely our call.


  See you back soon…until then Healthy eating and Happy eating !
