Fast Foods – What they do to Your Health?

Unhealthy, fast foods had become such a part of daily life.  The site was created to get people to understand what unhealthy nutrition can do to your health.  It has grown.  There are many subjects both preventative and what to do when you find you have a health problem.

There is a search function on the site and you can read up on whatever interests you.  The button above The McVitamins Website will bring you to the website.

We found an article recently about Fast Food entitled “Your Body & Fast Food”and wanted to share it with you.   You can find it here  http://ezinearticles.com/?Your-Body-and-Fast-Food&id=7818291

To your health!

Another problem with Gluten-Free Foods

I got onto understanding gluten-free and found that although wheat free and a substitute for the foods people like that normally are made from wheat, that it is very high in carbohydrates.

If you look at the labels, it is high in starches, potato, rice, etc. etc. Now, we know that it increases the insulin in your body, but if that is not a concern to you, I realized it could cause other problems.

Candida or fungus or yeast is a normal part of the body, however, if it overgrows it can cause all sorts of problems.

What does this fungus thrive on – sugar.

What is carbohydrates?   Carbohydrates are long chains of glucose molecules hooked together.   And when the body digests the carbohydrates and breaks it down, it becomes glucose or sugar.

High amounts of carbohydrates become high amounts of sugar.   And if you have any overgrowth of this type of yeast, it will help it multiply.

It is something to think about when reaching for the gluten-free foods.

Remember the food you eat can create health, but it can also cause health problems.

Chemo Brain & What Can Be Done

There has been a big debate over chemo brain for almost as long as chemotherapy has been around.   After receiving chemotherapy, a person complains about their ability to remember, learn and they talk about the constant fog they feel they are in.

When a person complains about sharp pains in their toes, the doctor knows it neuropathy and gives them a pamphlet “Living with Neuropathy”.  But what about when their thinking is getting foggy?

There are many reasons put forth and all you have to do is search for the term “chemo brain” on the Internet and you will find lots of theories and back and forth.  Suggestions about “brain games” are even made to help you get your wits back.

Here is the information that we’ve found regarding Chemo Fog

With Nerve Damage, you need more than an antioxidant.

In the last year or so, the number of articles written about neuropathy has grown and with this number the different “natural” remedies have grown.  I even find new “remedies” that come and go on a regular basis which claim they have the ingredients to help neuropathy.

Most remedies that I found claim antioxidants are the thing that will help, but others have their own combinations.

The real bottom line is will it build healthy nerves?  What does the body need to build healthy nerves?

Fibromyalgia and Neuropathy

I’ve often noticed a similarity between the symptoms of fibromyalgia and neuropathy.  I even knew someone who was diabnosed as having fibromyalgia who tried the remedy for neuropathy (WSN Nerve Support Formula) with good results.  I thought at the time that maybe she was misdiagnosed and really had neuropathy

Recently there was a study done on some people with small fiber poly neuropathy and half of them were found to have neuropathy.

Here is an article on Fibromyalgia which talks about these studies later in the article, and has a link to the actual study.

It would be nice to know that some people can get relief from their fibromyalgia by addressing it as neuropathy.    I know how debilitating fibromyalgia can be,
