Greetings! I do hope your weekend was one of rest and
relaxation to put you in a healthier mood with a brighter outlook on
life.
Here is something I just have to pass on about heart disease.
A massive study
involving tens of thousand of patients, and more than two hundred
centers around the world from Asia to Africa to the US. Was designed
to establish, once and for all, what really and truly are the major
factors that cause, or prevent, heart disease worldwide. BUT Something
is MISSING, can you spot it?
Give up? Cholesterol LDL or HDL. quietly faded away in the hopes you
would not notice that cholesterol myth was just that a myth! It never
existed and the drug companies is making billions from that myth!!!!
As usual Steve has come up with another great Motivator, as only he can!
If you enjoy his weekly Motivator let him know and tell him you read it
in A Natural Environmental Health Facts Ask Lena Health Q & A ezine.

QUESTION:
Hi Lena,
Please I want to know if there's anything I can do to stop fat from
spreading to my face. It's really giving me cause for concern. Instead
of going to my body, it's spreading to my face, I'm really disturbed by
this. I'm 26, a female. I've never had any health problems.
Thanks for your
assistance to this.
Regards,
Ib
ANSWER:
Thank you
for the question Ib.
I am assuming this is a new occurrence in your life and not something
you've had for a very long time.
There's a myriad of reasons for fat on the face and some aren't so good
and requires seeing a doctor to get an actual diagnosis. I do not wish
to take the place of your doctor.
Here are a few reasons associated with a fat face;
At your age I would look at pregnancy as one cause. Some women get a fat
face weeks before the tummy starts to enlarge due to changes within the
pituitary gland.
Then there are the adrenal glands that may be stressed and not
functioning as they should. This is a hard one to diagnose in the
beginning stages. If you are under a lot of stress daily, drink a lot
of caffeinated drinks (coffee, tea, sodas), your energy lags during the
day, unexplained emotionally unbalanced at times, you sleep poorly (less
than 7 hours a night), these are all red flags indicating probable
adrenal dysfunction.
The adrenal glands are two small but very important glands, one above
each kidney, which produce a range of hormones, or chemical messengers
that works in sink with the Pituitary at the base of the skull.
Your best bet to balance out these glands is to get your
minerals and vitamin balances corrected and keep them that way
ASAP,
Read Why that is imperative, before
it develops into something more severe, such as;
Cushing's Syndrome, a disorder caused by an excess of the hormone
cortisol. Fat accumulates in the face, abdomen and upper back, often
producing a characteristic round "moon face" and eventually accompanied
by a so-called "buffalo hump" in the back. The arms and legs usually
remain slender.
Other symptoms of prolonged Cushing's Syndrome include muscle wasting
and weakness, thin skin, poor wound healing, easy bruising, purple
"stretch marks" on the abdomen, menstrual irregularities, high blood
pressure, glucose intolerance and hair loss in women.
Cushing's syndrome diagnosis will require testing by an Endocrinologist,
then get back to me and we can have Dr. Garland work up a natural
healthy non-chemical, all natural Cushing's protocol, if you wish.
There are other adrenal dysfunction diseases but none that would apply
to your fat face. Adrenal dysfunctional problems can be life threatening
if left untreated.
Then there is Hypothyroidism that can involve swelling of the
face, which usually in later stage includes fatigue, lethargy, dry,
coarse skin, decreased sweating, poor memory, slow speech and hoarse
voice, weakness, headache and an intolerance to cold. This one can
easily be determined by a home test. You will need an oral thermometer
only!
Keep the thermometer beside your bed with a paper and pen. When you
awaken in the morning, before moving around (yes, even before you
make a trip to the bathroom), put the thermometer tightly in your
armpit with your upper arm tight to your side and keep it in place for
15 minutes. Keep as still as possible. Then, remove the thermometer,
take a reading, and write down the results.
Do this for five days, then determine an average reading by adding
all five readings together and dividing by five. If you're average
temperature is below 97.5 degrees F., in all probability you are
suffering from subclinical hypothyroidism that will require adding
thyroid supplement to your daily regimen along with balancing your
minerals and vitamins. Try a
natural thyroid supplement first, as they seem to be more absorbable
and the thyroid will more readily recognize it. Natural is always better
for the body. Take ionized-thyroid as directed on the bottle for three
weeks and repeat temperature test then if no improvement see your doctor
for further testing.
However, if you inherited a naturally round and full face, chances are
you're going to have to live with it. I would suggest you consult with a
good hair-stylist for the best style to disguise your facial roundness
if it makes your unhappy.
Hope this helps answer your question,
Lena

THE REAL YOU
One woman describes herself as "Five feet, three inches tall and
pleasingly plump." After she had a minor accident, her mother
accompanied her to the hospital emergency room. The admitting nurse
asked for her height and weight, and she blurted out, "Five-foot-eight,
125 pounds."
The nurse pondered over this information and looked over the patient.
Then the woman's mother leaned over to her and gently chided,
"Sweetheart, this is not the Internet."
If you could change your appearance in life as easily as you can make
one up on the Internet, would you remake yourself? We live in an age
when people are increasingly dissatisfied with their bodies. They want
liposuction, face lifts, tummy tucks, silicon implants and cosmetic
surgery - too often for no other reason than to look like someone else!
And don't think I am only talking about women. Men too place great
emphasis on their bodies. Studies show that in 1972, one in six men
didn't like their appearance; today, almost 50% of men surveyed reported
being unhappy with their looks. According to the book THE ADONIS COMPLEX
New York: The Free Press, 2000), more and more men are feeling insecure
about their appearance. In 1996, over 700,000 men had some cosmetic
surgery - often in an unhealthy attempt to fix a perceived flaw that
nobody else noticed. Eating disorders and steroid abuse are all too
common among males.
Authors Harrison Pope, Katharine Phillips, and Robert Olivardia did an
experiment in which men were asked to take a computer image of an
ordinary man and add muscle mass to him until he was the size these men
wanted to be. On average, the men packed about 28 more pounds of muscle
mass on the computer image; women, on the other hand, only added a
negligible amount of muscles to the image to create their ideal guy.
Poet Khalil Gibran said, "Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light
in the heart." When we choose to believe that our most attractive
qualities lie within, we can let go of those unrealistic expectations of
our bodies. Care for your body; you'll keep it for the rest of your
life. Be thankful for it and treat it well. But remember, the real you,
the essence of you, cannot be improved by a bottle, a pill or a salon.
It is a beautiful and glorious light shining from your heart to the
heart of the world. Cherish it. And let it shine.

FOOD OF THE WEEK

The Fruit That Played A Role In Knights Of Old!
Our pear tree had fruit this year like we have never seen and tempted
the ravens, worms and goats to eat to their hearts content, if we didn't
get to them first! I started wondering why they were all so interested
in them and why we have to fight nature to get the best.
These sweet juicy yellow, green and sometimes a musty brown fruit with a
rounded shape that becomes narrower towards the stalk and has kind of a
grainy texture that turns some people off. Pears offer a healthy snack
as well as a healthy ingredient in many recipes. Full of natural
nutritious fiber!
Pear History is kind of interesting and dating back to the early Asian
history!
Pears are one of the world's oldest cultivated and beloved fruits. In
5,000 B.C., Feng Li, a Chinese diplomat became consumed by grafting
peaches, almonds, persimmons, pears and apples as a commercial venture.
In The Odyssey, the Greek poet laureate Homer lauds pears as a "gift of
the gods." Pomona, goddess of fruit, was a cherished member of the Roman
Pantheon and Roman farmers documented extensive pear growing and
grafting techniques. Thanks to their versatility and long storage life,
pears were a valuable and much-desired commodity among the trading
routes of the ancient world. Evident in the works of Renaissance
Masters, pears have long been an elegant still-life muse for artists. In
the 17th century a great flourishing of modern pear variety cultivation
began taking place in Europe. And in popular culture, the pear tree was
immortalized alongside a partridge in the 18th-century Christmas carol,
The Twelve Days of Christmas.
Early colonists brought the first pear trees to America's eastern
settlements where they thrived until crop blights proved too severe to
sustain widespread cultivation. Fortunately, the pear trees brought west
to Oregon and Washington by pioneers in the 1800's thrived in the unique
agricultural conditions found in the Pacific Northwest. Today's
Northwest pear varieties are the same or similar to those first
cultivated in France and Belgium where they were prized for their
delicate flavor, buttery texture, and long storage life.
Pears are picked when they are almost ripe. The fruit will come off if
you lift the fruit vertically, signally time to pick. Pears ripen best
at room temperature. If you want too keep them a few days you have to
keep them in a dark and cold place. There's no need to peel a pear...
their tender, edible skin is an additional and nutritional source of
fiber. A medium sized pear provides 4 grams of fiber, or 16% of the
recommended daily value. Always wash all fresh fruits and vegetables
before serving.
More levulose - the sweetest of known natural sugars - is found in fresh
pears than any other fruit, which doesn't really sound like it's good
for dieting. Well, levulose is easily digested and plays a role in
energizing the metabolism thereby helping to bring about weight loss.
The pear is rich in the minerals; Calcium, Iron, Magnesium,
Phosphorus, Potassium - 30% more than an apple - , Sodium, Zinc, Copper,
Manganese and Selenium. Not short changed in the vitamin department
either containing; Vitamin C, B-6, B-12, A, E, Rhiamin, Riboflavin,
Niacin, Pantothenic acid, Folate, Folic acid and the little known
DFE.
There are many varieties of pears to choose from and should hit just
about any desire!
*Yellow Bartlett (Bart-let) U.S. Availability in August
through January ripens to bright yellow, perfect for fresh eating. Very
sweet and juicy. Excellent for canning or cooking.
*Red Bartlett Availability in August through January Bright red
skin when fully ripe. Same flavor, texture and use as yellow Bartletts.
* Green Anjou (On-ju) Availability in October through
June. Abundant juice and sweet flavor when ripe. They do not change
color as they ripen.
* Red Anjou Availability in October through May. Much the
same flavor and texture as green Anjous. Remains maroon red when ripe.
* Bosc (Bahsk) Availability in August through April.
Highly aromatic flavorful pear. Dense flesh makes it ideal for baking
and cooking. They are brown and often russeted. They do not change color
as they ripen.
* Comice (Co-meece) Availability in August through
February. One of the sweetest, juiciest varieties, and often are very
large. An elegant dessert pear that's excellent with cheese. Almost no
color change when ripe.
* Seckel (Seck-l) Availability in August through February.
Tiny pears with ultra-sweet flavor, maroon and olive green in color.
Excellent choice for children's snacks, pickling, or as a garnish. No
color change when ripened.
* Forelle (For-ell) Availability in September through
February. A smaller variety. Turns bright yellow with crimson freckling
when ripe. Sweet, very juicy.
Our favorite way of eating pears is fresh and raw but poached pears are
excellent as well. Here is a tasty and handy relish recipe that is
versatile and nourishing, originally found at
http://www.hugs.org
