GAS

When air enters the stomach,you get gas.It can occur from drinking through a straw,drinking carbonated water or chewing gum.Your body may produce gas if you eat high-fiber foods such as beans,fruits and grains that pass into your intestine and ferment.Gas may result from gastrointestinal infections.If you have prolonged gas,see a doctor to rule out any infections.
 SYMPTOMS
  • Abdominal bloating and pain
  • Belching
  • Flatulence     
PREVENTION
Try not to swallow air
Gradually increase your intake of healthy fiber rich foods
Avoid fermented foods such as cheese and alcohol.
Drink fewer carbonated drinks
Don't mix carbohydrate and proteins at the same meal.
If you are lactose intolerant,replace cow milk with soy milk.                                                                                                                                             

BEET JUICE

This is one of the most valuable juices for helping to build red corpuscles of the blood and tone up the blood generally.Women particularly,have been benefited by drinking at least one pint of a combination of carrot and beet juice daily.The proportion in this combination may vary from 3 to 8 ounces of beet juice,using roots and tops,in one pint of the combined juices,carrot and beet.
 Taken alone,beet juice,in greater quantities than a wineglass at a time,may cause a cleansing reaction which will make one a little dizzy or nauseated.
  For menstrual disturbances beet juice has been very helpful,particularly when,during such periods,it has been used in small quantities,not more than a wine glass at a time( say,2 or 3 ounces)two or three times a day.During menopause this procedures has been found much more permanently helpful than the degenerative effects of drugs or synthetic hormones.
 After all,any drug or inorganic synthetic chemical product cannot possibly bring permanent relief but temporary relief.Any drug that can be guaranteed to relieve or cure permanently any sick condition of the body can also be guaranteed to start something serious or worse in the body some time later.
 It is the one who takes the drug that suffers in the long run,not those who advertise or administer it.
 After all is said and done,Nature has furnished us with natural means through which we may seek,energy,vigor and vitality.

INFERTILITY CONTINUED

We are now seeing many doctors who are very concerned about how important nutrition is during pregnancy in the development of a healthy baby.
  More than ever before it has been shown that improving the health of female increases her vitality and the quality of her offspring.A large amount of money is spent on research of infertility and nutrition.But how much money is spent on research of infertility and nutrition?Would it not be wise to look at the possibility of nutrition playing a major role in infertility before a lot of time is wasted and money spent on test,surgery,fertility,pills  and many other drugs?If we look seriously at the eating habits of those who are infertile today,We would see a link between diet and the inability to conceive.We are not saying that will solve all the problems that couples have in conceiving but it would do a great deal of good for the general health of the couple trying to have a family.
