Proverbs 4:20

For anyone first reading the Health and Nutrition post, please read this first: Your Health.

I also recommend that you first view my postings on Vitamin D and the Omega 3 oils. Just go to the search engine on the top left hand corner of this blog, and type in Vitamin D part 1 and then part 2 and 3. These three posts show the overwhelming evidence of just how important Vitamin D3 is to your health. Start taking Vitamin D3 now! Do the same for the Omega-3 oils. I also added Resveratrol to this list. It is found in wine and many fruits. You can get Resveratrol supplements at health food stores.

Without fail, there is another study about how critical Vitamin D is for the heart. This vitamin is the key to health.

I posted several studies that show how dangerous depression and loneliness is for your health. Loneliness can kill you at an early age. Depression is just as dangerous. What is surprising is that loneliness is like a “virus” and can be infectious! A lonely person spreads the feeling to others. Study: Loneliness, Like Flu, Is ‘Infectious’

“Because loneliness is associated with mental and physical diseases that can shorten life, Cacioppo said it is important for people to recognize loneliness and help those affected before they move away to the edges.”

The Bible states that it is not good for man to be alone. We are not meant to live isolated:

There is a tremendous study on how to protect your mind from Alzheimer’s disease. The addition of olive oil into the diet offers this protection! I posted the importance of olive oil in the health teaching section. This oil is needed like the Omega 3’s. You want to take COLD PRESSED, virgin oil. The other oil is useless for your health. If you know someone with Alzheimer’s start giving them olive oil. Make taking this oil a part of your life. Your vehicle will not run without engine oil for very long. Your body was designed by the LORD to run on oil. You must take olive oil along with the Omega 3s.

Olive Oil Protects Against Alzheimer’s

“Oleocanthal, a compound that occurs naturally in extra-virgin olive oil, can alter the structure of toxic proteins in the brain that contribute to Alzheimer’s disease. A study by researchers at Northwestern University and the Monell Chemical Senses Center found that the change inhibits the ability of the toxic proteins, called ADDLs, to damage nerves in the brain.”

Vitamin D Shows Heart Benefits in Study 

“Less than two years later, the researchers found, those who had extremely low levels of the vitamin were almost twice as likely to have died or suffered a stroke than those with adequate amounts. They also had more coronary artery dise
ase and were twice as likely to have developed heart failure.”

Diet And Intestinal Bacteria Linked To Healthier Immune Systems This article is behind the times because in health circles the link was known for a long time. I doubt they will do anything with this information. There is some very good information in the article for your health.

“The notion that diet might have profound effects on immune responses or inflammatory diseases has never been taken that seriously” said Professor Mackay. “We believe that changes in diet, associated with western lifestyles, contribute to the increasing incidences of asthma, Type 1 diabetes and other autoimmune diseases. Now we have a new molecular mechanism that might explain how diet is affecting our immune systems.”

Remember you are responsible for your own health: Act now!
